Chapter 982
Seeing that many people were beginning to question his strength and that the prestige he had accumulated over the past few days was on the verge of collapse, he gritted his teeth.
"Fellow cultivator Chen is indeed powerful. Will you represent the Nether Realm in the ranking battle?"
Gu Chen was taken aback. He didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question.
"Fellow cultivator Chen doesn't meet the age requirement. Young Master Gu can rest assured. However, he will represent the Nether Realm in the Divine Grace List. "
Saintess Ye Fei's voice was loud and clear, her face beaming with joy.
Tonight, Gu Chen could be said to have brought great honor to the Nether Realm, so it was only natural that he would go from a reserve to the main list. She simply took this opportunity to announce.
Zheng Xicheng and Ding Han smiled wryly when they heard this.
It seemed that they would have to withdraw from the main list. However, after seeing the other's strength, they no longer felt the slightest bit dissatisfied …
"The Divine Grace List? I really am too young. "
Hearing this, Gu Xunfeng's expression suddenly became much better.
In his opinion, the other was an expert of the older generation. It wasn't shameful that he had lost to him because of his age.
He had asked that to find a way out of this embarrassing situation.
When some cultivators heard that Gu Chen didn't meet the age requirement, they immediately felt sorry for Gu Xunfeng.
"It's a pity that Young Master Gu lost because of his age. If they were the same age, he might not have lost tonight's battle. "
"Yes, Young Master Gu is still the most likely to win the Genius Ranking. In terms of potential, he is greater than Chen Gu."
Only a few people who had guessed the identity of "Chen Gu" couldn't help but feel their eyelids twitch.
"If this Chen Gu is really Brother Gu, then Gu Xunfeng is nothing. He's not even worthy of carrying his shoes!"
Shi Jian couldn't help but say. He knew very well how young Gu Chen was. What kind of genius was Gu Xunfeng compared to him?
"Fellow cultivator Chen, I am indeed not as good as you today, but it will be different in the future."
Gu Xunfeng regained his confidence. After saying this, he turned around to leave in a cool manner.
"I don't care what happens in the future, but have you forgotten something?"
Gu Chen didn't care at all about the comments around him and reminded him coldly.
"This …"
Gu Xunfeng's face froze. He naturally knew what Gu Chen was referring to.
Previously, he felt that he would definitely win against the Dragon Horse, so he used his most precious True Spirit Blood as a wager.
But in reality, even with his status, he only had one bottle of true spirit blood, and he was prepared to use it to break through a bottleneck. If he gave it to Gu Chen, the loss would be incalculable.
In fact, he hadn't forgotten about it just now. He was just trying to deny it on purpose. Given his identity as the Young Master of the True Spirit Clan, the other party might not necessarily expose him in public.
As long as he didn't expose him in front of everyone, it would be much easier for him to deny it later.
Who would have thought that the other party didn't intend to save him any face at all. He immediately felt awkward.
Just as Gu Xunfeng was at a loss as to what to do, a voice rang out from the void.
"Xun Feng is young and ignorant. The true spirit blood is of great use to him. I hope this fellow daoist can let him go. My clan is willing to compensate him with other things."
The one who spoke was an elder of the True Spirit Clan. As soon as he said this, there were whispers in the Divine Tree Tower.
He actually planned to renege on his debt!
It was really embarrassing for the True Spirit Clan to do such a thing!
Gu Chen's eyes turned cold at once. "This is really shameless."
Ye Fei also frowned and felt uncomfortable, but he hesitated and didn't refute.
The True Spirit Clan was a genuine Upper Celestial Clan. They ranked higher on the Divine Grace List than the Underworld, so they couldn't afford to offend them directly.
"As a member of the True Spirit Clan, you go back on your words. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly rang out.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
Many cultivators looked at the source of the voice and were instantly stunned.
The one who spoke was Kunlun Saintess!
This Kunlun Saintess, who rarely interacted with others, was actually speaking up for Chen Gu of the Underworld!
"Ji Lanchu …"
Gu Xunfeng felt embarrassed by Ji Lanchu's words. Out of his own pride, he gritted his teeth and threw a porcelain bottle into the arena. Then, he left the Divine Tree Tower without looking back!
Gu Chen caught the porcelain bottle and sensed that there was an extraordinary energy contained within it. It was obviously the Blood of the True Spirit.
"Humph, I'm looking forward to fighting with you on the Divine Grace List!"
The elder of the True Spirit Clan who was hiding in the dark said angrily and then left.
"Hehe, you really can't afford to lose."
The Dragon Horse and the Island Owner shook their heads when they saw this.
Gu Chen turned his hand and kept the True Spirit Blood. He still didn't know the specific use of this item. He would slowly study it when he had time.
As he walked down the arena, Kunlun Saintess walked towards him under the watchful eyes of the crowd!
"Sorry to trouble you."
Gu Chen frowned. He knew that Lanchu must have begun to suspect his identity. Otherwise, she wouldn't have spoken up for him.
"Hehe, since I can't hide it anymore, why don't I tell her the truth?"
Jiang Baiming and the Dragon Horse smirked, and so did Penglai Island Master.
"Is it the time to acknowledge each other? I don't know how many spies of the Pure Spirit Kingdom are hiding in this tower. "
With gloomy eyes, Gu Chen glanced around and found that too many spiritual senses were spying on him. He couldn't tell which ones were the main enemies.
Besides, Wu Lingxian hadn't done anything since he warned Hao Ren, and Hao Ren wasn't sure if he was afraid of being discovered.
Surrounded by spies of enemies, Gu Chen didn't want to have anything to do with Lanchu and his old friends!
However, Ji Lanchu obviously didn't think too much about it.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she walked to the front of the Nether Realm's team. Several Nether Kings stared at her, feeling flattered.
"I just spoke up for Daoist Friend Chen, and I contributed to the True Spirit Blood. Won't you buy me a drink?"
Kunlun Saintess, who usually didn't smile, smiled brightly at this moment. Her words caused the crowd to explode!
"My goodness! Is Kunlun Saintess taking the initiative to strike up a conversation? "
"What's the background of Chen Gu of the Nether Realm? So many talented saintesses are disdainful of him, but why do they treat him differently?"
"Genius Gu lost to him, but it's only because he's too young. Why did Kunlun Saintess choose Chen Gu instead of him? She must be blind! "
While the crowd was indignant, Gu Chen looked at Ji Lanchu who was smiling sweetly in front of him, knowing that she wouldn't let it go if he didn't give her an explanation.
He said with a helpless expression. "Shall we find a private room and talk in private?"
Whoosh.
The surrounding cultivators were even more excited, especially Kunlun Saintess's admirers, who were extremely angry.
"Shameless! He wants to be alone with the saintess! "
"What does he want to do? What can't he say here?"
Just when everyone thought that Kunlun Saintess, who had always been aloof, would reject the rash proposal, Ji Lanchu smiled sweetly.
"Alright, we'll go wherever you say."
