Chapter 2314 Showdown

"Elder Wu, you are too kind. It's just luck."

Su Chen was also modest.

"Haha, you are too modest. How could it be luck? Su Chen, to be honest, we have never seen a genius like you before."

Elder Wu's tone was full of emotion. After seeing the battle between Su Chen and Gu Yunxing, he had to admit that he was still short-sighted. He did not expect that Su Chen, a newcomer without any background, could actually defeat Gu Yunxing across a whole realm.

This is no longer a genius, but a rare genius in a hundred years or even a thousand years!

However, despite this, the three elders did not ask about the origins of Su Chen's various methods like those young disciples.

In the martial arts world, there are many people with secrets. Perhaps it is not a very rude thing for peers to ask about each other's background. But as elders, it is undoubtedly a very embarrassing act for them to ask about the younger generation.

So, they will not ask.

"I would also like to thank the elder for giving me the key to the Palace of Heavenly Mandate in advance."

Su Chen was sincerely grateful. If it weren't for the two gains from the Palace of Heavenly Mandate, he would not have been able to defeat Gu Yunxing in such a short time.

"The Palace of Heavenly Mandate is just a help. Fundamentally speaking, it is your own talent and strength that created this miracle."

Elder Wu nodded gently and said, "Okay, we won't delay you for too long. This time I invited you here just to ask if you have any requirements for the Martial Temple, or if you have anything you want, you can ask. This time you have made great contributions to the Martial Temple, and the Martial Temple will definitely try its best to meet your needs."

Needless to say, this is to reward Su Chen.

Although the Martial Temple seems to be no better than the Gu Yun lineage in cultivating the younger generation, that is only because the Gu Yun lineage has such a genius as Gu Yunxing. In fact, the Martial Temple is far superior to the Gu Yun lineage in terms of resources and heritage. After all, the thousands of years of heritage are there, which the Gu Yun lineage cannot compare with.

At this moment, the three core elders had obviously discussed it in advance. As long as the request proposed by Su Chen was not the kind that would cause great damage to the Martial Temple, they would agree to it.

"Three elders, the request I put forward may be a little shocking and beyond your imagination."

Su Chen pondered for a moment and said.

"It doesn't matter, just ask."

Elder Wu and the other three elders did not take it to heart when they heard Su Chen say this, and thought that Su Chen's statement was a bit exaggerated.

In their opinion, as a young generation, Su Chen's vision could not be compared with that of the old generation like them. The shocking request in Su Chen's mouth may just be a more ordinary request in their eyes.

As for Su Chen's statement that this request might exceed their imagination, they did not take it to heart at all. What other requests beyond their imagination can a young generation put forward?

However, Su Chen's next words were completely beyond their expectations.

"May I ask the three elders, is the Book of Heavenly Dao in the temple now?"

Su Chen asked.

"The Book of Heavenly Dao?"

The three elders exchanged glances with each other, obviously not expecting Su Chen to suddenly mention the Book of Heavenly Dao.

"The Book of Heavenly Dao is the foundation of the God-forsaken Land, and it has naturally been enshrined in the temple. You mention the Book of Heavenly Dao now..."

Elder Wu also asked with some doubts. In their opinion, the Book of Heavenly Dao and Su Chen's reward are completely unrelated.

"Elder Wu, compared to the reward, I have a more important matter that is imminent. Speak out now, and let the three elders make their own judgments."

Su Chen knew that he would definitely tell the high-level officials of the Martial Temple about the Book of Heavenly Dao in the end.

As for whether the high-level officials of the Martial Temple can listen to it and whether they can hand over the Book of Heavenly Dao to him, this is uncertain.

If the high-level officials of the Martial Temple refuse, then Su Chen can only think of another way.

Of course, there may be dangers here.

If the high-level officials of the Martial Temple are unwilling to let him take back the Book of Heavenly Dao, then how they will treat him is still unknown.

Of course, Su Chen, after his own judgment, also felt that the three elders in front of him would not do anything to him just because he raised this matter.

At the moment, Su Chen briefly told the three elders about his mission to take back the Book of Heavenly Dao.

After listening to it, the three elders looked at each other and did not come back to their senses for a long time. Obviously, they did not expect that Su Chen would make such a request.

This request was really as shocking as Su Chen had said just now!

The Book of Heavenly Dao is the foundation of the Forsaken Land of God.

The Temple is the highest organization in the Forsaken Land of God and has the obligation to protect the Book of Heavenly Dao.

And now, Su Chen actually proposed to take away the Book of Heavenly Dao in front of the high-level officials of the Temple. It is no exaggeration to say that this is simply treason.
