"The Ten-Year Pact—the Ten-Year Pact everyone had been looking forward to. The battle between the First Bloodline and the First Battle Soul would become a regret!"
"Who exactly killed Lu Ren?"
"There was no longer any meaning in pursuing that now!"
Inside the tavern, many people drank as they discussed the matter. Yet whenever the Heavenly Pride Banquet came up, they could hardly avoid talking about the Ten-Year Pact between Lu Ren and Han Taiji.
"The Ten-Year Pact—will you go and fight?"
Duan Shentie asked curiously.
"Of course I will!"
Lu Ren smiled. "But what I want to do now is obtain the Godly Nether Emperor Sword!"
"These next few days, Gui Lou City will probably be packed to the brim. I'm afraid finding Gui Jianshou won't be easy!"
Duan Shentie said.
"Then we can only wait for him at the Ghost Emperor Hall!"
Lu Ren said.
"Mm!"
Duan Shentie nodded.
"However, only those who possess Heavenly Pride Tokens can participate in this Heavenly Pride Banquet. How are we supposed to get in?"
Lu Ren asked.
"The Ghost Emperor Hall should give me some face, shouldn't they?"
Duan Shentie said.
The two chatted idly for a while before finding an inn to stay in.
Over the next few days, Lu Ren did not cultivate. He merely consolidated his realm. As for breaking through to the Peak Divine Emperor Realm, without some fortuitous encounter, it would certainly be impossible within a single month.
Time slowly passed, and before long, the day of the Heavenly Pride Banquet arrived.
Duan Shentie brought Lu Ren to the Ghost Emperor Hall.
The Ghost Emperor Hall was located within a gloomy ghost mountain. Passing through the mountain, they saw countless Ghost Souls drifting all around, releasing sinister, chilling cries that made one's hair stand on end.
