Chapter 1159: All Were Stunned

A young woman in snow-white clothes appeared elegant, fresh, and beautiful. With long hair draped over her shoulders, her features were lovely and sweet, but she had a rather sharp tongue.

Dong Dahu didn't even look at her properly. To him, a so-called beauty held no attraction unless she was a white tiger.

Old Gu, on the other hand, felt annoyed. Just moments ago, he had been lamenting, rather pompously, that he hadn't been a big shot for many years. And now, someone immediately showed up and challenged him, truly demonstrating the decline of someone who had been away from the position of a big shot for years.

"Girl, watch your tongue!" Dong Dahu interjected.

It was clear she was the direct descendant of a certain clan. Although her white attire was simple, neither the pendant on her snow-white neck nor the earrings on her sparkling earlobes were ordinary items. They had powerful runes flowing within them and were worth a fortune.

"Who are you calling 'girl'?" The young woman was quite feisty. Although her wide, blinking eyes made her appear sweet, she showed no deference in her words.

"If not you, then who?" Dong Dahu retorted, staring at her.

"Hey, Chen Yu, what's going on? Do you know them?" Another woman approached gracefully, wearing a sweeping red gown that made her appear quite dignified and elegant.

The young woman in white, Chen Yu, giggled and said, "How could I possibly know them? You don't know, on the way here, Zhou Yuan Ge and I saw these three bumpkins walking on foot. They looked like barbarians who had just emerged from the old forest, finding everything new and exciting. It was so ridiculous, they were even staring up at our battle chariot, practically drooling."

Several young women, all of them young and from extraordinary backgrounds, appeared beside the girl in white. Hearing this, they all chuckled softly, secretly sizing up Chu Feng and the other two.

Although none of them said anything, their expressions showed a strange look. They became even more reserved, ignoring the three men and fully displaying their noble aura.

Dong Dahu's face darkened. As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit someone in the face or expose their shortcomings when scolding them. This young woman in white had deliberately humiliated and disparaged the three of them in public, which was absolutely outrageous.

"Who let you in?" the young woman in white asked, her face sporting a charming smile, but it was clearly ill-intentioned, and her words were very dismissive.

"Nosy!" Old Gu replied, with only two words.

Chen Yu, the young woman in white, sneered and said, "Oh, so you don't like to hear that? Well, then I'll have to ask properly who let you in. What right do you have to be here? How could the guards be so irresponsible as to let barbarians in to disturb the banquet? What if they cause trouble?"

The several women beside her also smiled. Although they didn't voice their opinions, the disdain in their eyes was obvious.

"Waiter, come here and escort them out!" the very beautiful woman in the red gown spoke up, helping the young woman in white to drive away Chu Feng, Old Gu, and Dong Dahu.

"What blabbermouths!" Old Gu remained calmly standing there, his hands clasped behind his back, looking at them indifferently.

"Who are you calling a blabbermouth, bumpkin?!" The woman in red, Liu Yun, had quite a temper. She looked down at the three young men's delicate faces, her slender eyebrows furrowed, and her beautiful eyes glinted sharply.

The young woman in white, Chen Yu, also huffed angrily and scolded, "This is ridiculous! Waiter, go quickly and throw these three out! How dare they make trouble here? This is too much!"

Dong Dahu snorted through his nose and mouth. They hadn't even lost their temper yet, but these two young women were already acting like princesses, ready to "deal with" and "discipline" them.

At this moment, Old Gu beckoned. He waved to three young women not far away, motioning for them to come over.

It was indeed Gao Ge, Qi Qi, and Zhou Qing. After obtaining a piece of Skygold Stone, they were discussing how to divide it. Now, seeing the three young men again, and in conflict with others, surprised them.

Seeing Old Gu beckon, the three immediately approached gracefully. They held this young evolver, who could casually toss around large pieces of Skygold Stone, in high regard.

In their view, the true identities of these three young men were absolutely formidable.

Therefore, as the three walked over, they all smiled. At the same time, their demeanor was very humble yet proper, and they greeted Chu Feng and Old Gu warmly.

This made Chen Yu, Liu Yun, and the others all surprised and suspicious. These three bumpkins knew Gao Ge and Qi Qi?

It should be known that both Gao Ge and Qi Qi came from very powerful family backgrounds, far beyond ordinary evolutionist clans.

"Go and teach them a lesson about how to conduct themselves," Old Gu said calmly, gesturing for Gao Ge and Qi Qi to discipline Chen Yu and the others.

At first, Gao Ge and Qi Qi were naturally reluctant. But after a moment's thought, they decided it would be unwise to offend Old Gu.

Soon after, Chen Yu and Liu Yun realized they were being targeted. Gao Ge and Qi Qi walked towards them, smiling, but their smiles were far from friendly.

Qi Qi said, "You're Chen Yu, right? Your arrogant personality could easily bring trouble to your family."

"What do you mean by that?" The young woman in white, Chen Yu, rolled her eyes, but was also a little surprised. The other party was actively looking for trouble.

Gao Ge said, "Is the Chen family very powerful? I recall that an evolutionist sect of your same standing was annihilated overnight not long ago, with all direct male and female descendants killed and no trace of their bodies left. In this world, there are always powers we need to revere and look up to. Look at what you've done. Unprovoked mockery, disrespect, and insults towards unrelated strangers—is this how you display your nobility? I doubt it; it only makes you appear vulgar. Is there any elegance left for a direct daughter of a prestigious family? Your harsh, acrimonious, and crude words only make people question your inner cultivation, which is truly superficial."

She paused slightly, then continued, "Do you even know that those three young men you're mocking and looking down upon are people even *we* need to revere?! What gives you the right to be so boisterous and arrogantly ridicule them? Where is your noble ladylike demeanor now? With such vulgar and crude language, what right do you have to stand here? Attending a banquet with you makes me feel like my own prestige has been dragged down several notches. Please, stop being so ignorant and superficial!"

Gao Ge, a classical beauty, had a beautiful voice. Her rapid-fire speech displayed her formidable verbal combat skills, deeply surprising Chu Feng. She was practically... a little combat expert!

Her ornaments jingled, and her vintage-style long gown trailed on the ground. Her face was fair and delicate, her eyes sparkled, and her dark hair cascaded like a waterfall. The adornments in her hair swayed, catching the light, making her appear perfectly graceful and exquisitely noble.

The sweet smile vanished from Chen Yu's face, which turned ugly. To be targeted like this in public... she was about to argue and "battle" with this classical beauty.

At this moment, the female manager also walked over. Her words were very polite, but she was warning Chen Yu, Liu Yun, and the others. She frankly stated that Old Gu, Chu Feng, and their companions were honored guests who could not be treated with disrespect, otherwise they would not be welcome there.

Subsequently, Chen Yu and the other young women in white were led aside by Gao Ge and Qi Qi. They engaged in a sharp confrontation, and in the end... they lost.

Finally, Chen Yu, Liu Yun, and the others turned slightly pale. Learning about Old Gu and the others casually tossing Skygold Stones, they felt a shock. They lowered their posture and came over to apologize softly.

Evidently, the female manager also contributed to this. She had just threatened Chen Yu and the others in various ways, knowing their backgrounds couldn't compare to that of the banquet's host. Therefore, she had directly issued a warning.

The young woman in white, Chen Yu, felt her cheeks burn, and a sense of grievance welled up in her heart. She felt humiliated. The three bumpkins she had encountered on the road actually had such formidable backgrounds?

She was unconvinced in her heart. Being forced to bow her head and apologize here left her very displeased.

Not long after, she left and then returned. She was accompanied by a young man named Zhou Yuan, who had previously ridden in the same battle chariot as her and had also looked down upon and mocked Chu Feng and the other two.

Furthermore, they brought a God King, seemingly to demand an explanation.

The God King was very tall and imposing. He looked down at Old Gu and said, "Young man, you're quite domineering, forcing a noble daughter to apologize. Which sect's disciple are you?"

Old Gu ignored him. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Throw him out!"

Then, those nearby saw eight exceptionally powerful God Kings suddenly appear. They didn't allow that God King to say another word; they surrounded him, gave him no chance to resist, directly picked him up, forcefully escorted him away, and then threw him out of the banquet hall.

The young woman in white, Chen Yu, and the young man named Zhou Yuan both turned deathly pale. What was happening? They felt utterly mortified.

They wished they could crawl into a hole. As for Liu Yun and the others who had stood with the young woman in white just a short while ago, their hearts pounded, their faces turned pale, and they felt a wave of fear.

All at once, the way many people looked at Old Gu and his two companions changed. It wasn't that no one traveled with God King protectors, but bringing eight at once was simply exaggerated and dizzying!

Throughout this process, Chu Feng didn't say a word, maintaining a constant smile. Only now did he lament that Old Gu must have "acted like a big shot" quite a lot in prehistoric times.

Dong Dahu secretly transmitted a message, saying, "Old Gu, I'm just quietly watching you show off!"

At this moment, a God King approached Old Gu and said, "My Lord, given the complex situation here, we will dispatch some more God Kings."

Old Gu nodded calmly and replied, "Mhm."

The organization's personnel immediately sprang into action. All God Kings in this state received notification at once and rushed to the location, making it clear that Old Gu's dark, unassuming token possessed immense power.

Following this, the atmosphere in the hall became harmonious, with cups clinking. Dong Dahu also adopted a gentlemanly demeanor, raising his goblet and specifically seeking out beautiful women from the tiger and cat clans to toast. He did encounter a few, but unfortunately, none were the white tiger he was so fixated on.

Finally, he conversed happily with a woman with long golden hair, learning that she was a Saintess from the Golden Tiger lineage.

The banquet hall was vast and resplendent, with chandeliers casting a dreamy glow. The hall was crowded with people, and regardless of whether they had previously engaged in bloody battles elsewhere, everyone here was impeccably polite.

Chu Feng saw Ying Zhexian. She stood out in a snow-white evening gown, like a celestial fairy descending from the Moon Palace. She was very popular here, as the Sub-Immortal Race resided in Mingzhou, this very place.

Soon, he also saw Peng Huang, an old acquaintance with whom Chu Feng had once had very agreeable conversations. This time, Peng Huang wasn't wearing battle attire but a suit and leather shoes, like those on Earth.

This left Chu Feng speechless. Was this still the God King of the Peng race who had roamed through famous mountains and great rivers, accidentally fallen into forbidden lands, survived, and then rapidly risen to power?

"Hmm, tonight there will be one spectacular gladiatorial match after another," a voice announced. "They are a passionate display of blood and evolution. Everyone is welcome to enjoy them soon!"

In the distance, a young man walked over, looking refined and elegant. His formal attire was exquisitely made, and his inner shirt was spotlessly white, making him appear scholarly and detached.

He continued, "Hmm, I heard there was a small unpleasantness here just now. Perhaps a few Saintesses were in the wrong. However, I heard that those three friends summoned eight God Kings into the banquet hall, which is not ideal. Why be so forceful and aggressive, causing discord? If we're talking about strength and summoning God Kings, here in Mingzhou, our Frontier Gladiator Arena shouldn't fear anyone."

His words were gentle, but they also contained an underlying assertiveness.

At the same time, sixteen God Kings suddenly appeared behind him. This was a silent display of deterrence.

Everyone else chuckled. Some were good-natured, while others deliberately egged him on, bolstering his prestige. After all, the Frontier Gladiator Arena was powerful and renowned throughout the world.

"Are you talking about me?" Old Gu stepped forward, his hands clasped behind his back, his words still as concise, just appearing there.

Chu Feng and Dong Dahu naturally stood by his side, and the three of them walked over together.

Then, everyone felt dizzy. What was happening? Behind the three, a line of imposing men followed. Their vital energy was terrifyingly boundless; even when restrained within their bodies, it made people's hearts pound, as if facing a group of prehistoric savage beasts.

A full twenty-four people, all God Kings!

Everyone was stunned...
