Chapter 977

Inside the Divine Palm Tree Tower, the Battle God Banquet had begun.

They surrounded a huge indoor arena, and the seats around it were filled with people from various forces.

Gu Chen sat with the Nether Realm's people with the Dragon Horse beside him.

No one dared to look down on this spirit beast after its previous performance. The Divine Palm Tree Tower also made an exception and let it in.

Almost all the people from the Nether Realm that came to Mount Myriad Gods were present. There was only one unfamiliar face that Gu Chen didn't recognize.

He had just arrived with Saintess Ye Fei. Even though he had deliberately concealed his cultivation, Gu Chen could still sense that he had reached the Hierarch Realm.

The other party didn't look like one of the famous Nether Sovereigns of the Nether Realm, so there was only one possibility. He was the secret weapon of the Nether Realm this time, the final official candidate of the Divine Grace Board who had yet to show himself.

This person's strength far surpassed Zheng Xicheng and Ding Han. They were on completely different levels. The Nether Realm had placed high hopes on him by hiding him until now.

At the same time, it also showed that the Nether Realm had attached great importance to tonight's Battle God Banquet. They didn't hesitate to reveal their trump card.

Gu Chen only hoped that this trump card was stronger. It would be best if he didn't have to fight tonight.

Lanchu and Mu Ziyu were sitting a hundred zhang away from him. Shi Jian, Qi Zeyan, and the others had also arrived. There were many old friends in the tower tonight.

"If you have to fight tonight, leave it to us."

Penglai Island Lord and Jiang Baiming knew that Gu Chen didn't want to expose his identity, so they took the initiative to speak.

Gu Chen nodded. He hoped that he wouldn't have the chance to fight.

"Junior Sister Lanchu, look. That person is sitting opposite."

Mu Ziyu noticed Gu Chen and the Dragon Horse where Ji Lanchu was.

"Who?" Shi Jian and Qi Zeyan immediately asked.

They did not know about the previous conflict. They had just arrived and were called over by Mu Ziyu.

"Today, someone's spirit beast fought with Junior Sister Lanchu's azure ox." Mu Ziyu explained.

Shi Jian and Qi Zeyan were amazed. It was rare for spirit beasts to fight each other.

The few of them were chatting happily. Only Ji Lanchu was concerned about Gu Chen, who had not shown up yet. Although she was in the Battle God's Banquet, she had no interest.

The venue of the Feast of the Battle God was packed to the point that not even a drop of water could trickle through. The people of various powerful forces or famous geniuses had almost occupied all the better stands. On the periphery, there were also many cultivators who were on tiptoe to watch.

Hong Taiyi and Feng Jiuqian's group were among them. However, they had arrived rather late, and they did not have a prominent background or strength. Thus, they could only stand in the corner.

"Where are Princess Ji and Brother Qi? Should we go look for them?" Li Wanjun saw Ji Lanchu from afar, who was quite close to the arena, and her heart stirred.

Standing on the periphery and watching the Feast of the Battle God was really disappointing. Moreover, she had wanted to get to know Princess Ji better during the previous gathering, but unfortunately, it was ruined.

When Li Wanjun said this, Hong Taiyi, Feng Jiuqian, and the others all looked tempted.

Previously, because they had bad-mouthed Gu Chen, they had offended Princess Ji, who was at the peak of her power. Their intestines were green with regret. Perhaps they could use this opportunity to repair their relationship.

"Heh, don't be delusional. Her attitude last time was obvious enough!" Luo Li poured cold water on them.

Everyone sighed when they heard this. They could have used the friendship of being from the same hometown to build a big tree for themselves, but they had ruined it.

The Feast of the Battle God was in full swing. From time to time, geniuses from various forces would enter the arena to participate in the bet.

The extravagance of the bets and the excitement of the battles caused the cultivators in the audience to boil over.

After a few rounds of battles, the Nether Realm's Nether King Baron stood on the arena and took the initiative to challenge the cultivators from Thousand Faces Temple!

The crowd fell silent for a moment. All the major forces looked over with interest.

The Nether Realm was the overlord of the Shangshan Star Field's dark world, while the Thousand Faces Temple was the ruler of the Milky Way Star Field's dark world.

The two forces competed in many areas. In recent years, there were even rumors that they wanted to extend their influence into the other's territory.

Because of this conflict of interests, they had been fighting openly and secretly for many times, and the Nether Realm was currently at a disadvantage.

Now that the Nether Realm had taken the initiative to challenge them, they must have something to rely on!

The cultivators from Thousand Faces Temple were all wearing strange masks. When they heard the Nether Realm's challenge, one of the men wearing a white mask spoke.

"If you want to fight us, sure, but if the stakes are small, it will be boring."

"That's exactly what I was thinking. What do you want to bet?" Saintess Ye Fei immediately sneered.

"The right to control 655 Star Paths in the Shangshan Star Field," the man in the white mask said calmly. His words caused an uproar.

There were all kinds of bets in tonight's God of War Banquet. Some gambled on divine weapons, some gambled on elixirs, but this was the first time someone gambled on territory!

Moreover, the number of Star Paths was too frightening. It seemed that Thousand Faces Temple wanted to take advantage of tonight's opportunity to extend their influence into the Shangshan Star Field!

"Heh, the ranking battle of the Divine Realm has not even started, but Thousand Faces Temple can't wait to encroach on the territory of the Nether Realm. I can't make this decision. Wait a moment! "

After Ye Fei finished speaking, she closed her eyes, as if she was secretly discussing with a few Nether Supremacies.

After a while, she opened her eyes. "If Thousand Faces Temple loses, the right to control 655 Star Paths in the Milky Way Star Field will also be handed over to us."

"Sure."

"How do we compete?"

"Let's take turns fighting. You and I will each send five people. Whoever wins more matches will be fine."

"Deal!"

Both sides signed the agreement at an astonishing speed under the watchful eyes of the crowd, pushing the God of War Banquet to a climax.

It was a pity that this battle was a dispute, and the other forces had no chance to get a share of the pie.

"The few old Ultimate Gods from Thousand Faces Temple have an agreement with Lord Xiu Cha and won't make a move tonight. Therefore, the only one from Thousand Faces Temple who can threaten us is Jun Ruoxie."

"They have previously relied on Jun Ruoxie to make us suffer some losses, causing them to be overconfident. This time, it's too late for regrets."

"Tonight, the Holy Son will deal with Jun Ruoxie and catch them off guard. The others are nothing to worry about. We will definitely win! "

Ye Fei made the pre-battle planning arrangements. She obviously had strong confidence in the Holy Son who had been hidden for many years.

The Nether Realm's Holy Son was also very calm, giving off an unfathomable feeling.

In the team, Gu Chen glanced at the Thousand Faces Temple's team. Apart from the white-masked Jun Ruoxie who had reached the Ultimate God Realm, the others were indeed a level lower than the Nether Realm's side.

However, when he looked at the back, he found that there were a few people with deep breaths that he could not determine their exact strength.

He immediately frowned. The Nether Realm had a trump card, but the other side was obviously not that simple.
