Chapter 789: Let's see who laughs last!
The Celestial Palace Supreme's expression turned extremely ugly at this moment.
He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, as if he was about to explode on the spot.
As the dignified ruler of the Immortal Palace, standing at the very top of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he was now being extorted in public by a junior, and even had to hand over the bronze Immortal Palace that symbolized the majesty of the Immortal Palace.
This was an absolute disgrace to him!
"impossible……"
The Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace resolutely refused, his voice filled with barely suppressed rage: "The Bronze Immortal Palace is the symbol of the Immortal Palace. If I hand it over to you, how will I ever be able to stand in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths again? Zhu Chen, don't push your luck!"
However, just as he was preparing to fight to the death, a voice transmission suddenly rang in his ear.
The voice was hoarse and aged, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
It was indeed a remnant immortal.
"Say yes."
The Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace was taken aback, his heart filled with confusion.
He wanted to object, but the voice of the remnant immortal rang out again, interrupting his thoughts: "Don't ask why, just agree to give him the Bronze Immortal Palace."
The Celestial Palace Supreme gritted his teeth and replied telepathically, "Senior, why are you afraid of Zhu Chen? Although he has that ancient double-pupiled woman by his side, if we really fight him, it's hard to say who will win or lose. Am I, the dignified Celestial Palace Supreme, supposed to bow down to a junior from the lower realm with sinful blood?"
The remnant immortal remained silent for a moment, then slowly transmitted his voice, "What I fear is not this Zhu Chen, nor that ancient woman with double pupils..."
The Celestial Palace Supreme frowned: "What is the senior wary of?"
The immortal's voice suddenly became extremely solemn: "I sense that there is someone in the shadows... He has been watching this place from beginning to end. If we make a move, he will definitely show himself, and then the situation will be beyond our control."
The Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace was suddenly startled: "Who is the person you are referring to, Senior?"
The Remnant Immortal said calmly, "You don't need to know. You just need to understand that that person is not someone we can afford to offend right now... Now, agree to Zhu Chen's request and hand over the Bronze Immortal Palace to him. In the future, we will naturally have the opportunity to make him give it all back."
The Celestial Palace Supreme dared not disobey the Remnant Immortal's order, but he still replied with a reluctant telepathic message: "But that bronze Celestial Palace is the symbol of our Celestial Palace..."
"Symbolism?"
The remnant immortal decisively interrupted him, her voice carrying a hint of coldness: "That's just a magic artifact. As long as the person is still alive, the symbol can be recast at any time. Moreover, the bronze immortal palace has the divine sense imprints of both of us on it. If Zhu Chen takes that bronze immortal palace, it's as if he's constantly exposing his coordinates to us. When he leaves this forbidden area, we can intercept and kill him at any time. Let him be smug for a few days, so what?"
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace suddenly realized the truth.
At this moment, he finally understood the Immortal's intention.
It turns out that the Remnant Immortal had already arranged everything for what followed.
On the surface, the other party seemed to be backing down, but in reality, they were digging an even bigger pit for Zhu Chen.
As long as Zhu Chen takes the Bronze Immortal Palace away from here.
Then they can track the other party's location using the divine sense imprint.
When the time comes, they can deal with this bloodshed however they want.
The crippled immortal truly lives up to his name; he remains remarkably adept at scheming...
"Very well, I understand."
The Celestial Palace Supreme took a deep breath and immediately suppressed his anger: "Then I will cooperate with you in this charade, Senior."
He raised his head to look at Zhu Chen, the anger and resentment on his face gradually subsiding, replaced by a complex expression: "Fine, I agree."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
"What? The Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace agreed?"
"He's actually going to hand over the Bronze Immortal Palace to Zhu Chen? That's the symbol of the Immortal Palace!"
"This...this is unbelievable...the Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace actually bowed down to Zhu Chen?"
"Is this still the Celestial Palace Supreme I know?" "Could it be that the Celestial Palace intends to submit to Zhu Chen?"
"Who exactly is this Zhu Chen? How could he be so terrifying?"
"It seems the heavens and earth are about to change..."
"Unbelievable! A mere cultivator from the lower realm actually dared to force the Immortal Palace to even bring out that ancient heirloom..."
"Shh~, keep your voice down, don't let that devil hear you..."
"That's right, be careful Zhu Chen doesn't come looking for trouble. I've heard that the most ferocious monsters in the lower realm are the kind who kill without blinking an eye..."
The surrounding cult leaders all stared wide-eyed.
They had thought the Celestial Palace Supreme would fight to the death, but they never expected that the other party would actually choose to compromise.
In an instant, everyone looked at Zhu Chen with a newfound sense of awe and apprehension.
Xiao Yan was also taken aback for a moment.
However, he quickly put everyone's doubts to the back of his mind.
"Big brother is awesome! Even the Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace has been subdued by you. From now on, no one in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can threaten you..."
However, Zhu Chen remained silent in the face of Xiao Yan's flattery.
He stared silently at the Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace, a feeling that something was amiss.
Given the personality of the Celestial Palace Supreme, he shouldn't compromise so easily.
But since the other party had agreed, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
The Celestial Palace Supreme raised his hand and waved it. Light flashed in his palm, and a bronze palace the size of a palm appeared out of thin air, floating in his hand.
The bronze palace was mottled all over, covered with the marks of time, and exuded an ancient aura. It was the most precious treasure of the Immortal Palace, the Bronze Immortal Palace.
"Take it..."
The Celestial Palace Supreme hesitated for a moment, then threw the bronze Celestial Palace directly at Zhu Chen.
Zhu Chen reached out and took the bronze immortal palace, examined it from all angles, and then decisively tossed it into his own cave.
"Very well... then let's leave it at that for today."
Zhu Chen smiled at the Immortal Palace Supreme, then turned around and led Yang Qi, the Undying Being, and Xiao Yan back to their original positions, no longer entangled with the Immortal Palace Supreme and his group.
Seeing this, the woman with double pupils quickly followed.
The surrounding cult leaders stared at their retreating figures, exchanging bewildered glances, speechless for a long time.
The Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace watched Zhu Chen's retreating figure, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He whispered to the Remnant Immortal, "Senior, I have done as you said. Will he discover the divine sense imprint on the bronze Immortal Palace?"
The Remnant Immortal said calmly, "Don't worry, he can't see through my methods. Once they leave, that's when we'll make our move."
The Celestial Palace Supreme nodded and said nothing more.
On the other side...
Xiao Yan also reminded Zhu Chen in the chat group.
[Xiao Yan: Big brother, there's something fishy about that Immortal Palace Supreme. He was initially reluctant to hand over the Bronze Immortal Palace, but then suddenly agreed. There's definitely something fishy going on here. You have to be careful!]
[Zhu Chen: Don't worry, I know what tricks they're playing, but... since they want to play, I'll play along and see who laughs last...]
