Seeing Gu Ren leading two inner court disciples and rushing directly in front of Chu Tianchen, the expressions of the eight deacons changed.
"Gu Ren, what are you going to do?"
"Hao Meng? An Zhiyuan? What are you doing here?"
Although, the eight deacons all realized that Gu Ren and others had bad intentions.
But when they asked questions, they were ignored by the other party.
Gu Ren pointed at Chu Tianchen and said to the burly Hao Meng: "Senior Brother Hao, he is the one who killed my third brother, injured my second brother, and brought shame to my father!"
After that, he glared at Chu Tianchen with resentful eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Little beast, you will definitely die today, no one can save you!"
Chu Tianchen sat on the chair with a calm expression and looked at Gu Ren expressionlessly, "I didn't kill you because of the face of the elder who protected the mountain. Now it seems that it was really a wrong decision."
Gu Ren was stunned for a moment and was about to curse angrily.
At this time, Hao Meng, who was nine feet tall, took a step forward and stood in front of Gu Ren.
He looked down at Chu Tianchen condescendingly and said with an arrogant expression: "Are you Chu Tianchen?
I am Hao Meng, ranked second in the inner court, and I now formally challenge you to a life and death challenge.
Do you dare to step onto the platform of life and death and fight me?"
"Hao Meng?" Chu Tianchen raised his eyebrows and said in a joking tone: "He's just a dick, how powerful can he be?"
Hao Meng's expression changed, a ferocious anger flashed in his eyes, and his fists suddenly clenched.
"Stop talking nonsense, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Hao Meng was not good at bickering, so he suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.
Chu Tianchen frowned and asked: "A fight on the life and death stage, do you live or die?
This is my grudge against Gu Ren, are you going to die for him?"
Hao Meng said angrily: "Chengdu Gu is my uncle, and Gu Ren is my cousin!"
"That's it." Chu Tianchen nodded slightly and looked at Gu Ren with a half-smile.
"Hao Meng is really unlucky to have a cousin like you."
Both Hao Meng and Gu Ren were furious, their faces became ferocious, and they couldn't help but take action on the spot.
At this time, the elegant and handsome An Zhiyuan chuckled and said with disdain: "Chu Tianchen, aren't you known as the number one genius in the Qianchuan Ancient Territory?
Do you just want to use your words?
If you are greedy for life and afraid of death and dare not compete with Junior Brother Hao, then just admit defeat, cut off your limbs, and abolish your skills!"
Chu Tianchen glanced at him, "Who are you?"
An Zhiyuan straightened his collar and sleeves, and said proudly: "I am the chief disciple of the inner courtyard, An Zhiyuan!"
Chu Tianchen asked: "You also want to stand up for Gu Ren?"
An Zhiyuan avoided answering and said calmly: "I'll help Junior Brother Hao hold off the battle."
The implication is that if Hao Meng loses, he will go on stage to duel with Chu Tianchen and avenge Hao Meng.
Chu Tianchen sneered and said: "No need to go to so much trouble, the three of you can just work together and solve it together so as not to be an eyesore."
"Crazy! Do you deserve it?" Hao Meng shouted angrily.
An Zhiyuan also narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
But he didn't get angry, he just sneered and said: "Stop talking nonsense and go to the life and death platform to sign and stamp!"
After saying that, he took Hao Meng and Gu Ren and turned around and walked out of the hall.
Chu Tianchen didn't waste any time and left the hall with Ling Shuangyue and Chu Xiner.
The eight deacons looked at each other with tangled expressions, not knowing how to deal with it.
"Damn it! They really know how to choose the right time, and they actually challenge Chu Tianchen at this juncture?"
"What should we do if the sect master and the powerful men of Yuxiao Sect want to see Chu Tianchen?"
"It's broken! Gu Ren was knocked unconscious before, and he didn't know that Elder Xu was injured by Chu Tianchen!
We haven't had time to tell him Chu Tianchen's true strength!"
"That's right! Chu Tianchen is a strong man in the emperor realm, Hao Meng and An Zhiyuan are seeking their own death!
Gu Ren is in big trouble now, he wants to kill Hao Meng and An Zhiyuan!"
"Why are you still standing there? Chase after them quickly and persuade Hao Meng and An Zhiyuan to come back!"
"Don't waste your efforts. They won't listen to us at all. Didn't they just ignore us?"
"No matter, let's chase him over and have a look."
After whispering to each other for a few words, the eight deacons hurriedly left the meeting hall and rushed to the stage of life and death as fast as the wind.
…
The life and death platform of Qingshan Sword Sect is located on the cliff to the west of Daqing Mountain.
It was a stone platform with a radius of one hundred feet, suspended thousands of feet in the air under the protection and support of the triple formation.
Above the stage of life and death is the blue sky and the vast sea of clouds, and below the stage is the cliff thousands of feet deep.
Qingshan Sword Sect has over 10,000 disciples, and the competition is fierce.
When there are more people, there will be more disputes. Conflicts and frictions will occur between disciples. If they cannot be resolved, they will escalate into hatred.
When the hatred between the two parties escalates to the point of life and death, a fight to the death will inevitably occur.
The Qingshan Sword Sect adhered to the principle that blocking is worse than sparing, so they built a platform of life and death for the disciples of the sect to resolve their grievances.
Only those who sign the contract on the spot can duel on the stage of life and death.
No matter who wins or loses, who lives or dies, all grudges will be wiped out and no party can pursue them again afterwards.
This approach really made the disciples of Qingshan Sword Sect behave a lot.
Some small conflicts and problems are also easier to resolve.
Every year, only a few disciples will step onto the stage of life and death to start a decisive battle.
Every time the platform of life and death is opened, a large number of disciples will gather to watch.
"Whoosh!"
After Gu Ren, Hao Meng and An Zhiyuan arrived at the platform of life and death, they landed under the stone tablet on the edge of the platform.
The three-foot-tall blue stone tablet had several powerful lines of characters engraved on it, faintly revealing a frightening murderous intention.
This is the builder of the Platform of Life and Death, issuing a final reminder and warning to the disciples who are about to take the stage for a duel.
The general idea of those lines of font is that anyone who signs or signs it is deemed to agree to the rules of the life and death platform.
Once you compete on stage, you are responsible for life and death. Outsiders must not interfere, and no entanglement or investigation is allowed afterwards.
Hao Meng stretched out two fingers without hesitation and wrote his name on the stone tablet.
Then, he showed a provocative look and sneered at Chu Tianchen: "Boy, it's your turn!"
Chu Tianchen walked towards the stone tablet slowly and said calmly: "The three of you should sign together, it will be quite troublesome to do it one by one."
"You..." Gu Ren's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Chu Tianchen with a look that could kill someone.
Chu Tianchen sneered: "Hao Meng helped you stand up, he dared to sign, but you didn't dare to sign?
Haha, you just want to kill him, right?"
"I'm not!" Gu Ren retorted without hesitation, and mustered up the courage to sign his name on the stone tablet.
Chu Tianchen looked at An Zhiyuan again and sneered: "Are you going to sign or not? If you don't dare to sign, just go away and stop pretending here."
An Zhiyuan gritted his teeth secretly in anger, but always maintained his demeanor as the chief disciple.
In fact, he was very hesitant and unwilling to sign a life and death certificate.
After all, he was just supporting Gu Ren and helping Hao Meng build up his momentum.
He really felt that it was not worth it to involve himself in a dangerous situation.
But Chu Tianchen seemed to have guessed his thoughts and ridiculed him mercilessly. How could he endure this?
What's more, many inner court disciples appeared one after another in the open space beside the cliff.
I don’t know who saw them boarding the stage of life and death and spread the news.
This is the first time this year that someone has stepped onto the stage of life and death for a duel.
Therefore, when many inner court disciples heard the news, they rushed as quickly as possible to watch the excitement.
In just one hundred breaths, hundreds of inner court disciples gathered in the open space, talking excitedly.
Immediately afterwards, eight deacons also arrived.
Seeing Chu Tianchen, Gu Ren and others standing under the stone tablet, having signed the life and death certificate, the eight deacons all showed regretful expressions.
"Unfortunately, we are still a step too late!"
"They have signed a life and death certificate on the stone tablet, and it cannot be changed."
"Gu Ren and Hao Meng have already signed, but Chu Tianchen and An Zhiyuan haven't signed yet."
"Remind An Zhiyuan quickly!"
"An Zhiyuan, never sign a life or death certificate!
You are no match for Chu Tianchen, come back quickly!"
The discussion of several deacons attracted the attention of many inner court disciples.
The discussion became more intense.
"Chu Tianchen? Is that the guy who claims to be the number one genius in the Qianchuan Ancient Territory? How did he get into this sect?"
"What happened? Senior Brother Hao and Senior Brother An, do they have any grudge against Chu Tianchen? Why do they want to go to the stage of life and death?"
"Senior Brother An, you are the chief disciple of the inner court, the pillar and face of our inner court!
Don’t be afraid, go on stage and kill Chu Tianchen, let him see what a real genius is!”
"Senior Brother An, we all believe in you and support you!
This is the moment to win glory for this sect and win honor for the inner court, you will win without a doubt!"
An Zhiyuan, who was still hesitant at first, immediately made up his mind when he heard the shouts of many inner courtyard disciples and saw their excited and expectant expressions.
"Chu Tianchen, you are already dying, so you can only use your words."
Sneering at Chu Tianchen, he raised two fingers and wrote a name on the stone tablet.
"Although Junior Brother Hao is enough to kill you, I also signed my name to prevent you from thinking that I am afraid of you.
Later I will let you see what a true genius is.
Compared with the genius of my Qingshan Sword Sect, you are just a pitiful frog in the well!"
As An Zhiyuan finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers in the open space beside the cliff.
"Well done, Senior Brother An!"
"Don't be afraid, just do it!"
"Senior Brother An, let's start the decisive battle!
We can't wait to appreciate your magical skills."
"Senior Brother An, don't let Chu Tianchen die too easily. Before killing him, teach him a lesson!"
The disciples in the inner courtyard shouted excitedly.
The eight deacons' faces turned pale, showing a deep look of helplessness.
At this moment, three more figures flew from a distance and landed in the open space beside the cliff.
They were two handsome young men in white robes, and a tall, elegant woman in a plain skirt.
The three of them were at the front of the crowd, looking at Chu Tianchen, An Zhiyuan and others with interest.
Seeing these three people appear, many inner court disciples showed admiration and admiration, and started talking again.
"Are these three senior brothers and sisters also alerted?"
"They are true disciples and rarely show up in public, only once every two or three years.
