C1020 Conflict
The inner regions were magnificent, auspicious vapors were rising, and the walls were inlaid with all sorts of strange stones that emitted a red light. Even a sealed palace didn't need to ignite a candle flame; light spread out in all directions like day.
In the center of the palace, there was a ten-meter square table. It seemed to be forged from some kind of unknown creature's bones. Inscriptions circulated, and rays of divine light shot out from it.
"The Gu family's third young master is here!"
Several people stood up from the table, holding cups made of precious materials, and nodded at Gu Jingwei.
"Everyone is here, take a seat!" Sitting opposite the door at the head of the bone table was a majestic youth dressed in silver armor.
Their rules were very complicated, their seats were all about respect and inferiority. Gu Shu brought Lin Feng to sit in the first row on the left, and everyone cupped their hands in a cultured manner. Lin Feng was extremely disgusted, and directly picked up the food on the table to eat, causing everyone to shake their heads.
When everyone had scattered and sat down, the young man said: "Today, I, Ji Ming, have invited everyone here precisely for the small secret realm's battle in a few days. The Second Prince hopes that everyone can give your all, your Homo Clan cannot be defeated."
Just as his voice fell, a feminine-looking youth said, "Of course. That White Tiger clan has gone too far. They have treated us as slaves, bullied us, and even swallowed us."
"This year's small secret realm's battle will not only affect our Homo Clan and face, it will also reveal the strength of our young generation. Otherwise, the older generation will always say that there's no one capable of supporting us, and we won't be able to show any face either."
All of a sudden, these Heaven's Pride s turned into angry youths. They wished that they could enter the small secret realm right now to fight.
"We need a leader to coordinate the planning for this small secret plane's battle." The effeminate man spoke again. Then, he looked at Ji Ming, who was sitting at the seat of honor, and said, "I propose to have Ji Ming, the sponsor of this banquet, as my proposal."
When these words came out, everyone fell into a state of silence, their gazes directed towards Gu Yue, who had remained silent from the start.
None of them were fools. From the very beginning, the purpose of this gathering was obvious. Ji Ming wanted to force Gu Qianlou to give up the leadership position and follow his lead.
"I don't agree!" A youth with an oppressive aura stood up, looked straight at Ji Ming, and said: "Right now, we are facing a foreign enemy, yet you are still trying to seize power. You are truly ashamed for your Homo Clan."
"Shame? In the entire Sky Evil City, who doesn't know that your status depends on your elder sister. A younger sister of a dancing girl wants to step into our circle and take a piss? Based on your appearance, even if your elder sister really does become the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, you don't deserve to sit in this sort of place. " The feminine-looking young man's tone was extremely disdainful.
Everyone in the city knew that Bian Le's older sister had been taken in by the Gu family as a disciple with another surname. In addition, she had been carefully taught and even sent to the Sky Desolate Academy to cultivate.
How could the Gu Family, which had thousands of years of heritage, be so kind? Many people guessed that with this kind of nurtured Heaven's Pride, they would definitely marry Gu Jingli, who was still unmarried, and become the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family.
However, who would dare to bring up such matters in public? This was a taboo of the Gu family. If it was said, they could face the hostility of the Gu family, and even within the Heavenly Fiend City, they would have a hard time surviving.
"Do you want to die?" The youth surnamed Bi stood up in a rage. The inscriptions on his body floated up as he approached with a sharp sword in his hand.
"What is it? Only your sister is allowed to do it, and you still don't allow others to say it? If you want to attack, then do it. Others might be afraid of the person behind you, but I'm not afraid. " The effeminate man also held the inscriptions in his hand. His eyes were staring at Gu Jingli, worried that Gu Ruoyun would suddenly attack him.
"Alright, I've gathered all of you today. Don't get too close to me." Ji Ming who was seated at the head of the group spoke up to stop them, and then he looked towards Gu Jingwei and asked: "Brother Gu, do you think I have the qualifications to lead the Homo Clan Heaven's Pride and the Spirit Demon Race to war?"
Gu Qishao, who had been drinking in silence as if it had nothing to do with him, put down the cup in his hand. With a calm voice, he said, "You can, but my words are useless. The leader is chosen by everyone. He is not someone we can decide with a single word."
"Hahaha... I want to see who will refuse! " Ji Ming stood up with his aura surging. The iron scales on his white armor were clanging loudly, as if he was a divine general that had battled for eternity.
"I... I... He choked, the water … Where is the water? "
Lin Feng choked on the food in his mouth after being stepped on by someone. His cheeks were puked out, but he was still unwilling to spit it out. His hands clutched his throat, looking to be in extreme pain.
He hurriedly stood up and handed over a canteen, saying: "Slow down, slow down, quickly drink some water. Seeing how anxious you are, those who don't know will think my Gu family is not well-received and have yet to let you eat your fill."
Lin Feng's cheeks were puffed up as he gulped, unable to speak clearly. He then hurriedly poured the water into his mouth.
However, when he drank the water, his eyes instantly turned red, and he could no longer hold the food in his mouth like a fountain. The food scraps and liquid mixture flew through the air in a perfect parabola, steadily landing on Ji Ming's head.
"Gu Xiaoshan, what did you give me to drink? "Why is it so spicy?" Lin Feng shouted, his eyes red as he grabbed Gu Jingwei by the collar.
Gu Jingli handed over another canteen and embarrassedly said, "I was in a rush, so I took the wrong canteen. That's chili oil, and this is water."
Seeing the two of them playing around at the table, everyone fell silent. Their gazes all the way to the host, Ji Ming. At this moment, his body was red and white, multicolored, with minced meat hanging from his hair.0
This was too exciting, the so-called slapping people in the face was not only a slap to Gu Jingwei's face, but also a thorough humiliation. No matter how successful Ji Ming would be in the future, he would still be mentioned in this dark history and be ridiculed by the people of the world.
"Gu Jingwei, you deserve to die."
Ji Ming's face was flushed red from excitement. A battle spear appeared out of thin air with a sonorous voice, his eyes were filled with rage. He had been praised as a Heaven's Pride since he was young, and what he experienced was admiration and love. He had never been humiliated like this.
"Ah, how can brother Ji Ming be like this? Which heaven-shaking and earth-shattering Heaven's Pride is humiliating you like this? Let's find him for theory." Gu Shiyou's face was full of surprise as he loudly said this.
The youths and Heaven's Pride s were all shocked by this speech. Even the Gu family's elder, Bian Le, had his mouth agape. Gu Jingwei's words were too shameless.
"You're courting death!" Ji Ming was enraged and ignored everything else. A battle spear moved straight forward and attacked. Blood energy filled the entire palace like a meteor, striking horizontally at the dazed Lin Feng.
