Chapter 1122 - 1122 148 Various Parties' Strategies _2

1122: Chapter 148 Various Parties’ Strategies _2 1122: Chapter 148 Various Parties’ Strategies _2 Now that he was friends with him, how could Gu Chen stab him in the back and sell out his friend?

Therefore, Gu Chen stood up and said, “Today, I truly appreciate Brother Lu’s hospitality.”

Having said that, he didn’t hesitate at all, turned around, and walked away, leaving himself wide open in a manner that suggested he wasn’t afraid of Lu Xin attacking him from behind.

“Young master!”

At this moment, the three followers’ faces changed, and they anxiously looked at Lu Xin, unsure what their young master was thinking.

Red Phoenix also stared at Lu Xin to see if he would take this last chance to strike.

But in the end, until Gu Chen had left, Lu Xin made no move.

He truly held himself back.

“What, does Red Phoenix think that I’m afraid of that Gu Chen?” Lu Xin’s expression was calm as he glanced at Red Phoenix sitting beside him.

“Not at all, it’s just that I think Mr.

Lu is truly exceptional.

Ordinary people couldn’t have held back their feelings in such a situation,” Red Phoenix said with a coquettish laugh, exuding charm.

But Lu Xin was not an ordinary man and remained unmoved.

Currently, with a somewhat serious look, he stared in the direction Gu Chen had left and said, “It’s not that I didn’t want to make a move, but this Gu Bai is indeed a bit unusual.”

“Oh, Gu Bai has just ascended to the Dao Gold List and has already garnered such attention from you, Mr.

Lu?” Red Phoenix asked, somewhat surprised.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xin let out a faint smile and said, “It’s true that he is extraordinary, but wary of him?

Not at all, he is far from being on my level!”

His brief words were filled with Lu Xin’s immense self-confidence!

He had recognized that Gu Chen was out of the ordinary and strong, but still believed he was far inferior to himself.

After all, there was a huge gap in their cultivation realms.

He had reached the early stages of the Huanxu Realm and was only a small opportunity from breaking through to the mid-stage.

In contrast, Gu Chen was still in the God Transformation Realm; a confrontation would inevitably result in Gu Chen’s defeat.

Of course, that was just one aspect.

What made Lu Xin confident, or rather proud, was his trump card—his divine ability!

Indeed, Lu Xin had comprehended a divine ability.

Though it was because the master of the Seven Stars Sect, a supreme being, had bestowed it upon him, no matter how one looked at it, it was a divine ability.

Such an achievement, even when considering the vast higher realms, was extremely outstanding.

After all, even with the same opportunity, not everyone could comprehend a divine ability.

“It seems Mr.

Lu has a trump card.

Let me guess, could it be a divine ability?” Red Phoenix’s voice was soft and sultry, her eyes flickering as she guessed the truth.

Lu Xin’s expression remained unaffected, giving her a measured glance, but that glance confirmed Red Phoenix’s suspicion.

“Divine ability is indeed formidable enough, something that Gu Bai cannot withstand,” Red Phoenix thought to herself.

Currently, Gu Chen was only at the God Transformation Realm, and no matter how remarkable he truly was, Lu Xin was not worried.

After all, it was unlikely that Gu Chen had mastered a divine ability like him.

To comprehend a divine ability at the God Transformation Realm, even with the help of a supreme being’s blessings was not feasible, unless one had talent comparable to the unsurpassed last era’s highest heavens, to a leader of myriad realms like the Ice Emperor!

But that was even more laughable.

At that moment, Lu Xin spoke up, “The reason I didn’t make a move is because this is Saint Hua City, where private conflicts are not allowed.”

Of course, there was another important reason: he didn’t want to expose any part of his strength before the ancestral lands were unveiled.

Because of Gu Chen, Lu Xin thought it unnecessary; after all, if this person entered the ancestral lands, Lu Xin could still deal with him at will.

“Gu Bai?

If he can successfully obtain a spot to enter the ancestral lands and come out alive, his thoughts will probably change,” Lu Xin said indifferently, unconcerned.

At this time, with a creak, the door was pushed open, and in came a young man with a robust build and rugged features, striding in with the imposing gait of a dragon and the stance of a tiger.

“Brother Lu, I’ve heard all about it.

That Gu Bai truly doesn’t know what’s good for him!” the newcomer said in a deep voice the moment he appeared.

Seeing this person, Lu Xin nodded slightly as a greeting, while Red Phoenix got up to pay her respects immediately.

This man was named Yuan Qian, the eldest son of King Zhenan of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

With considerable talent, barring any accidents, he was expected to inherit this glory.

The current King Zhenan was also the only different-gender king of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty and had made significant contributions to the dynasty, a person with immense power and status, revered by countless individuals.

Moreover, King Zhenan himself was a major figure of the higher realms with very strong cultivation, said to be just one step away from joining the ranks of the supreme beings who oversee the higher realms.

Ever since Lu Xin arrived in Saint Hua City, it had been King Zhenan’s eldest son Yuan Qian who had been hosting him.

Clearly, Yuan Qian was intent on befriending Lu Xin, hoping to use this connection to reach out to the immortal-level Dao lineage of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

As for why he wanted to make contact with the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, the various reasons were unknown.

Therefore, having heard that Gu Chen had rejected Lu Xin, Yuan Qian had hurried to the Moon Fairy Tower as fast as he could.

“Miss Red Phoenix, you’ve become even more beautiful since the last time I saw you,” Yuan Qian said, his gaze heating up as it swept over her voluptuous figure.

As the top draw of the Moon Fairy Tower, Red Phoenix naturally had interactions with the scions of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty and even the entire spirit realm, yet to this day, no one had been able to capture her heart.

“The young prince is too kind,” Red Phoenix chuckled lightly, her body trembling with allure, captivating the gaze of all the men present.
