Chapter 974

When Gu Chen's group of three entered the building, they found it livelier than they'd imagined.

People from various races and factions were gathered in groups of two or three, drinking and chatting merrily.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, over here!"

The three were still looking around when they saw someone calling out to them from not far away.

Upon closer inspection, they saw that it was someone from the Nether Realm. They immediately walked over.

The one calling out to Gu Chen's group was an underworld king called Crooked Soul. Baron, Zheng Xicheng, Ding Han, and the others were also present.

Seeing Gu Chen's group walk over, Zheng Xicheng immediately spoke. "Where have the three of you been these past few days? Why haven't I heard any news of you? "

The other people from the Nether Realm wore strange expressions when they heard this. Some even sneered.

They'd clashed with the Thousand Faces Temple many times in the past few days, but the three newly ascended underworld kings hadn't shown up.

In some people's eyes, this was a sign of cowardice and incompetence. As candidates for the Divine Blessing List, it was extremely shameful for them to act like this.

Zheng Xicheng's words were full of sarcasm, just like last time. This made Gu Chen unhappy.

He was about to reply when Jiang Baiming spoke first. "Haha, it's normal that Fellow Daoist Wu hasn't heard anything about us. After all, humans and ghosts walk different paths."

Zheng Xicheng's face twitched. What did humans and ghosts walk different paths mean? He was a bit ugly, but wasn't describing him like that just to deliberately stir up trouble?

Also, his surname was Zheng, not Wu. Was the other party deliberately looking down on him?

"Hmph, you're good at talking, but you hide far away when you go to battle," Zheng Xicheng's companion, Ding Han, chimed in.

Zheng Xicheng's companion, Ding Han, chimed in. He was much more direct and didn't hide his contempt for the three of them.

"Eh? Is someone talking? "

"You …"

Jiang Baiming blinked his eyes and pretended to be confused. He was so angry that the two of them, who had originally wanted to grab hold of the three's weaknesses and make sarcastic remarks, had no way to vent their anger.

Gu Chen couldn't be bothered to explain anything to them. It was a fact that they hadn't fought for the Nether Realm these past few days, so there was nothing they could do about it.

As long as it didn't affect his plans, he was fine with it.

"What's with this gathering today? Why are there so many people? "

Gu Chen asked Crooked Soul. He was one of the more sincere and friendly people present.

"What? You don't know? "Crooked Soul asked in surprise.

"The Saintess asked us to come over, but she didn't say anything specific," Gu Chen said flatly.

"I see."

Crooked Soul came to a realization and explained with a smile. "Today, there will be a Battle God Banquet here. It is said that many geniuses from various major powers will be participating, so it has attracted a lot of people."

"Battle God Banquet?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he had heard of this term.

"The so-called War God Banquet is actually a kind of martial arts competition. However, both sides of the battle have to place a bet. The winner can take away the bet, and then others can challenge him. If one person can take the most bets, he will be called the Battle God. This is the meaning of the Battle God Banquet. "

Crooked Soul could tell that Gu Chen didn't understand, so he explained.

"So that's what it means. If that's the case, people from the Underworld will also be competing tonight?"

Gu Chen's eyes flashed. He understood why Ye Fei had asked them to come. It was probably because he wanted them to participate in the Battle God Banquet.

"Of course. There are many major powers participating in the Battle God Banquet tonight. The prizes will be extremely rich. We can't miss it. Also, the people from Thousand Faces Temple are here. A few days ago, our people suffered at their hands. The higher-ups want to get back at us tonight, "Crooked Soul said in a low voice.

Gu Chen listened and was about to reply when there was a sudden commotion at the door.

"Kunlun Saintess is here!"

"Why is she here? Didn't I hear that she has been keeping a low profile for the past two days? "

"Tonight is going to be interesting. We can see another exciting battle!"

"Kunlun Saintess is so beautiful. Who is that beauty next to her? She looks good too. Very charming. "

A large number of cultivators in the Divine Palm Tower were discussing. Ji Lanchu's arrival immediately made her the focus of everyone present.

Standing among the Underworld team, Gu Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He didn't expect Lanchu to be here too!

This wasn't a good thing for him, because it took him a lot of effort to resist the urge to see her.

"Hey, is this your first time seeing Kunlun Saintess, Fellow Cultivator Chen? Don't stare at her. A toad can't eat a swan's meat. "

Zheng Xicheng noticed Gu Chen's loss of composure and teased him.

"Do you know how an unqualified assassin usually dies?"

Gu Chen came back to his senses and glanced coldly at Zheng Xicheng.

"What?" Everyone present was an assassin. Hearing this piqued their interest.

"They usually die because they talk too much. If you bother me again, you'll definitely regret it."

When Gu Chen said this, an iron-blooded aura naturally seeped out, causing Zheng Xicheng to tremble inexplicably and subconsciously not dare to refute.

Gu Chen ignored him and continued to chat with the people around him while he observed Lan Chu in the distance, intentionally or unintentionally.

Previously, he had let the Sky-Devouring Demonic Butterfly secretly observe her. This was the first time he had seen her up close.

At this moment, she was like the moon surrounded by stars. As soon as she entered the Divine Palm Tower, she was pursued by many people. However, she was obviously distracted. Most of the time, it was Mu Ziyu who was beside her who was interacting with others.

"Saintess Ji, my young master invites you upstairs!"

At this moment, a few servants pushed aside the crowd that was blocking the way and went straight to Ji Lanchu before saying respectfully.

"It's the True Spirit Clan. Is Gu Xunfeng here too? Is he upstairs? "

"Genius Gu is really infatuated with Kunlun Saintess. When he helped her out previously, he offended more than ten forces in one go. I heard that there was a lot of trouble after that."

"The two of them are a perfect match. I heard that Kunlun and the True Spirit Clan had the intention to unite them by marriage."

Everyone was talking about it. When some female cultivators saw that the young master of the True Spirit Clan had invited Kunlun Saintess upstairs, their faces showed deep jealousy.

"That person again?" Gu Chen was displeased to hear the discussion.

Last time, he had come late to save Lanchu, which had left an impression on him.

Just as everyone was discussing how to make a match, Ji Lanchu responded coldly to the people of the True Spirit Clan.

"I'm not going!"

Two simple words, but her rejection was merciless, as if she was chasing away flies!

The cultivators in the tower were in an uproar. It was inevitable that some people would gloat and secretly laugh at Gu Xunfeng.

It seemed that no matter how outstanding the genius of the True Spirit Clan was, he still could not move Kunlun Saintess's heart!

What kind of person could make the Saintess fall in love with him?

Gu Chen looked at Lanchu's cold expression and felt inexplicably carefree.

It seemed that Lanchu only had him in her heart.

"B * tch, ungrateful b * tch!"
