Chapter 898

The outcome of the competition was too surprising.

A veteran Heavenly Soldier who had just entered the Celestial Prime Realm with outstanding military service was defeated so easily!

Although the battle was short, no one had any doubts about whether Gu Chen was qualified to take over the position of Heavenly General.

Even some of the Heavenly Generals present might not be able to do the same with the ease he had displayed just now!

The cultivators of the various affiliated forces all revealed deep awe in their eyes. They were no longer jealous.

"Looks like there's no more suspense about the outcome." Yuan Buhuo's eyes were filled with admiration as he took the lead to applaud.

Gu Chen walked to the last chair as if it was a matter of course, but before he sat down, he looked at Heavenly General Hai Dongqing again.

"You have to accept your loss." He spat out the words coldly.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the field became tense again!

Only then did everyone remember the huge bet just now and could not help but stare at Heavenly General Hai Dongqing.

The heavily injured You Xian was quietly taken away from the Heavenly Music Pavilion. The commanders who had suffered losses earlier also lowered their heads and hid in the corner.

Hai Dongqing received everyone's curious and strange gazes. Even a blind man felt like he was being roasted on a fire.

The previous bet was still vivid in his mind. He could not go back on his word. He slowly removed the demon blade Spirit of Speech from his back with a gloomy expression.

"Only Heavenly General Hai can subdue the demon blade Spirit of Speech and unleash its power. The bet that Heavenly General Gu mentioned just now should be a joke, right? Am I right? "

Mystic Fairy suddenly spoke up, trying to ease the tension between the two.

"That's right. We're all colleagues. There's no need to make such a big bet."

"Frined Gu is probably just doing it out of spite. He won't snatch what others like."

Many Heavenly Generals echoed. They knew the significance of the demon blade Spirit of Speech to Hai Dongqing. If this blade fell into the hands of others, it would not be able to unleash such great power. Instead, it would lead to a disaster. Thus, they all wanted to be the peacemaker.

"Sorry, I'm willing to accept my loss. I've never said that I don't want what I've won."

Unexpectedly, in the face of the Mystic Fairy and the other Heaven Generals' persuasion, Gu Chen coldly retorted.

On the spot, the Heavenly Generals who had just spoken were rendered speechless as if they had eaten a fly.

When Tang Ning saw this, he burst out laughing. "That's right, if you're willing to bet, you must be willing to lose! Hai Tian Jiang, you'd better hand over Fiend Blade Yan Ling! "

"Under the watchful eyes of so many people, a dignified Heavenly General wouldn't go back on his word, right?" Battle Immortal Supremacy also spoke at the right time. He didn't care if this would offend anyone!

Being provoked like this, Hai Tian Jiang's expression turned extremely ugly, but he still handed over the Demon Blade Spirit Words.

Gu Chen took it, and as soon as he touched it, his pupils shrank slightly.

As soon as the saber entered his hand, he felt an indescribable fear and apprehension. He felt a strong sense of foreboding.

"What is the origin of this saber?" He was bewildered. He could tell that everyone present valued this saber very much. It seemed that he would have to ask someone about it later.

Seeing Gu Chen take away the Demon Blade Spirit Words and accept it without hesitation, the Mystic Fairy's pretty face turned a little ugly.

"This is great. From now on, the Heavenly Music Pavilion has another Tang Ning …" She looked at Li Shunyu, who shook his head helplessly at her.

No one had expected that Gu Chen would become enemies with Heavenly General Hai Dongqing. The enmity between the two of them was not good for the unity of the Celestial Court.

However, Heavenly General Hai Dongqing was the one who initiated it. Everyone could see that he was deliberately making things difficult for Gu Chen today to support You Xian to become a Heavenly General.

Since he was the one who started it, he could not blame anyone else if he lost in the end.

Gu Chen kept the Demon Blade Spirit Words and then sat on the last chair.

All the Heavenly Generals returned to their seats. The meeting of the Heavenly Music Pavilion had officially begun.

"Ever since the battle in the Wasteland, the news of the reappearance of the Ancient Heavenly Court has spread like wildfire in all the major star regions. As for the God Realm, they have been making many moves in the past few months."

Chief Heavenly Official Yuan Buhuo cleared his throat. As he spoke, many Heavenly Officials handed jade slips to the Heavenly Generals and the leaders of the subsidiary forces.

"There are rumors that the Divine Realm is going to carry out another purge of the remaining forces in the Celestial Realm. In the past three months, the Celestial Court has indeed suffered some attacks. The conflict between the surviving major forces in the Celestial Realm, such as Ling Long Celestial Palace and Ascension Sect, and the Divine Realm has intensified.

"As for what I've said, there are detailed records in the information I sent to you. You can take a look first."

After Yuan Buhuo finished speaking, everyone opened the jade slips and carefully read the contents.

The information contained recent major events in the major galaxies. Gu Chen had already inquired about some of them on the Red River Planet, but he knew nothing about some of them.

According to the information, the Ancient Heaven had not suffered many attacks. Instead, the conflict between some forces related to the Celestial Realm and the Divine Realm had intensified.

"According to this information, the Divine Realm's so-called purge of the remaining forces in the Celestial Realm is just all bark and no bite. The Celestial Court has not suffered many losses. In my opinion, things will soon calm down, and the Celestial Court will still be able to stay out of it, "a Heavenly General said quickly.

One of the Heavenly Generals said. As soon as he said that, many cultivators from the subsidiary forces behind him nodded.

No matter how exaggerated the rumors of the second chaos of the Celestial Realm were, as long as they were not involved in the war, it did not matter. This was the opinion of the peace-loving faction of the Celestial Court.

"Humph, what an idiot. How long can the Celestial Court stay out of it? Don't you understand the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be interdependent? "

Before the other Heavenly Generals could speak, the Battlemaster Immortal stood up directly, his eyes bursting with a frightening coldness.

"Everyone, listen up. Since the Heartless Ape Clan is willing to ally with the Celestial Court, we are naturally aware of the seriousness of the situation in the outside world. Therefore, it is best to stop talking about those childish ideas that only want to live in a corner! "

His voice was deafening, and the Heavenly General who had spoken earlier could not speak for a moment.

"You can't say that. The Heartless Ape Clan has their own concerns, but the Celestial Court also has to look at the big picture," a Heavenly General could not help but refute.

The Heartless Ape Clan was a powerful ally, but if they allied with them, it would mean a war with the Divine Realm. Many Heavenly Generals would have to worry about it.

"The big picture? Does the Celestial Court still know what the big picture is? Your words just now are clearly cowardly. You don't even have the courage to go against the Divine Realm! "

The Battlemaster Immortal's words were very harsh, and the faces of the Heavenly Generals darkened.

As a new Heavenly General, this was the first time Gu Chen attended a meeting of the Heavenly Music Pavilion. He did not expect to have a dispute as soon as the conversation began. He was a little surprised.

He did not say a word and quietly observed the overall situation.

Next, several Heavenly Generals in the Celestial Court spoke one after another, arguing with the Battlemaster Immortal.
