Gu Chen and the other three entered the building and found that it was busier than expected.
People of all races and factions gathered together in twos and threes, drinking, having fun, talking and laughing.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, this way!"
The three of them were still looking around when they saw someone greeting them not far away.
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be men and horses from the underworld, and they immediately walked over.
The person who greeted Gu Chen and the others was a Hades named Qu Hun. In addition to him, Baron, Zheng Xicheng, Ding Han and others were also there.
Seeing Gu Chen and the others walking over, Zheng Xicheng immediately spoke. "Where have the three of you been these days? How come I haven't heard anything from you at all?"
After saying this, the faces of other people in the underworld became strange, and some even sneered.
They had a lot of conflicts with the Temple of the Thousand Faces these days, but the three newly promoted Hades never showed up, which had already caused some dissatisfaction.
In the eyes of some people, this is a sign of cowardice and incompetence. It is very shameful for the three of them to act like this as candidates for the ranking competition on the Divine Grace List.
Zheng Xicheng's words were full of sarcasm, exactly the same as last time, which made Gu Chen feel unhappy.
When he was about to answer, Jiang Baiming had already spoken first. "Haha, it's normal that Wu Daoyou didn't hear our news. After all, people and ghosts have different paths."
Zheng Xicheng's face twitched. What do you mean, people and ghosts have different paths? He looks a bit ugly, but doesn't describing him like this mean to stir up trouble?
Also, his surname is Zheng, not Wu. Is the other party deliberately despising him?
"Hmph, you are quite talkative. If you go into battle to kill the enemy, you will stay far away."
Ding Han, Zheng Xicheng's companion, then joined in. He spoke more directly and made no secret of his contempt for the three of them.
"Huh? Is someone talking?"
"you……"
Jiang Baiming blinked and pretended to be confused. He was so angry that the two people who wanted to grab the three people's pigtails to ridicule them felt like they had nowhere to go.
Gu Chen didn't bother to explain anything to these two people. It was a fact that they had not taken action for the underworld these days, and there was nothing they could do if they were criticized.
Anyway, for him, it doesn't affect his plans.
"What's going on at this party today? Why are there so many people?"
Gu Chen asked Xiang Quhun, who was relatively sincere and friendly to them.
"What? Chen Daoyou doesn't know the situation?" Qu Hun said in surprise.
"The saint asked us to come here, but she didn't tell us the specific situation." Gu Chen said calmly.
"I see."
Qu Hun suddenly understood and explained with a smile. "There is a God Fighting Banquet here today. It is said that many geniuses from all major forces will participate, so it attracted a lot of people."
"Fight of Gods?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he heard this term.
"The so-called Fighting God Banquet is actually a kind of martial arts competition, but both sides of the battle have to place bets. The winner can take the bets, and then others can challenge him. If one person can take the most bets
, will be called the Fighting God, which is the meaning of the Fighting God Banquet."
Qu Hun saw that Gu Chen didn't understand and explained.
"So that's what it means. So, someone from my underworld is going to compete tonight?"
Gu Chen's eyes flickered, and he understood why Ye Fei asked them to come, probably because he wanted them to participate in the God Fighting Banquet.
"This is natural. There are many powerful forces participating in the Fighting God Banquet tonight. The prizes will definitely be extremely rich and cannot be missed. Moreover, the people from the Thousand Faces Temple are also here. Our people were under their hands a few days ago.
I suffered a loss, and my superiors want to regain my position tonight." Qu Hun said in a low voice.
Gu Chen listened and was about to reply when there was a sudden commotion at the door.
"The Holy Maiden of Kunlun is here!"
"Why is she here? Didn't I hear that she has kept a low profile in the past two days and no longer takes action?"
"Now tonight is going to be interesting, and we can see a wonderful battle again!"
"The Holy Maiden of Kunlun is so beautiful. Who is that beauty next to her? She is also good-looking and charming."
A large number of monks in the Shenzhu Tower were talking about it. When Ji Lan arrived on the first day of the new year, she immediately became the focus of the audience.
Gu Chen, who was standing in the team in the underworld, couldn't help but his eyes narrowed. He didn't expect Lan Chu to be here too!
This was not a good thing for him, because he had a hard time restraining the urge to see her.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Chen, is this the first time you see the Holy Maiden of Kunlun? Don't stare straight at her, a toad can't eat swan meat."
Zheng Xicheng noticed Gu Chen's gaffe and joked.
"You know how a bad killer usually dies?"
Gu Chen came back to his senses and glanced at Zheng Xicheng coldly.
"What?" Everyone present was a killer, and they were all interested when they heard this.
"They usually die from talking too much. If you bother me again, you will definitely regret it."
When Gu Chen said this, an aura of iron-blooded blood that had been killed for a long time naturally overflowed, making Zheng Xicheng feel inexplicably frightened, and subconsciously did not dare to refute.
Gu Chen ignored the other party and continued chatting with the people around him while observing Lan Chu in the distance intentionally or unintentionally.
He had always let the Sky-Swallowing Demon Butterfly observe her secretly before, but this was the first time he had seen her so close.
At this moment, she was like a star shining over the moon. She was sought after by many people as soon as she entered Shenzhu Tower. However, she was obviously absent-minded. Most of the time, Mu Ziyu next to her was dealing with people.
"Sage Ji, my young master invites you upstairs!"
At this time, several servants pushed aside the crowd blocking the way, came straight to Ji Lanchu, and said respectfully.
"He's from the Zhenling Clan. Is Gu Xunfeng here too? Is he upstairs?"
"The ancient genius is really infatuated with the Holy Maiden of Kunlun. He helped her rescue her before but offended more than a dozen forces at once. I heard that troubles continued afterward."
"The two of them are talented men and beautiful women. I heard that the Kunlun God Clan and the True Spirit Clan were interested in promoting a marriage between them."
Everyone was talking about it, and some female monks showed deep jealousy on their faces when they saw the young master of the True Spirit Clan inviting the Kunlun Saint upstairs.
"That person again?" Gu Chen listened to the discussion and felt unhappy.
Last time, the other party came late to save Lan Chu, which left some impression on him.
Just when everyone was discussing how to match a talented man with a beautiful woman, Ji Lanchu responded coldly to the people from the True Spirit Tribe.
"Don't go!"
Two simple words, rejected without mercy, as if you are chasing away flies!
The monks in the building were in an uproar. It was inevitable that some people were gloating about the misfortune and secretly laughing at the ancient style of teaching.
It seems that no matter how outstanding the beloved son of the True Spirit Clan is, he still cannot impress the Kunlun Saint!
I don’t know what kind of person it takes to be favored by the saint?
Gu Chen looked at Lan Chu's cold expression and felt inexplicably happy.
It seemed that Lan Chu really only had him in his heart.
"Bitch, ungrateful bitch!"
In the private room upstairs, Gu Xunfeng was so angry that he smashed the cup in his hand after being refuted in public, showing no trace of gentleness in front of anyone.
