The second row had four empty seats.
The third row had a total of one hundred seats, among which ninety-nine were occupied by ninety-nine divine kings. Behind each of the ninety-nine divine kings stood a celestial god soldier in battle armor!
The reason it was "almost" was that behind Mu Feng Divine King stood two stunning maidens, Mu Wanquing and Xuan Yuan Rou.
The only empty seat was obviously for Bai Cheng Divine King.
In the fourth row sat over a hundred noble family heads, each with one or two children standing behind them.
“Grandfather, this Bai Cheng Divine King really is something, still hasn’t arrived!” Mu Wanquing, standing gracefully behind Mu Feng Divine King, said softly.
“Qing'er, don’t speak nonsense,” Mu Feng Divine King frowned and replied, “Put away your mischievous nature.”
Mu Wanquing rolled her eyes, feeling quite speechless.
The divine kings laughed, as they all knew that Mu Feng Divine King was famously fond of his granddaughter Mu Wanquing.
“Apologies, this divine king is a bit late, I hope you all do not mind.”
With an old voice, everyone saw Bai Cheng Divine King coming through the cypress forest, accompanied by a young man in silver armor.
Although the divine kings knew that Bai Cheng Divine King was not favored by Celestial Master Lingxia, there were still a few divine kings who had a good personal relationship with him.
However, they were very few, only Wu Song Divine King and Shi Lang Divine King.
“No problem, no problem, the hour has not yet arrived,” Wu Song Divine King and Shi Lang Divine King said with smiles as they stood up and cupped their fists.
Except for Mu Feng Divine King who nodded at Bai Cheng Divine King and fixed his gaze on Tan Yun, the other divine kings ignored Bai Cheng Divine King and even whispered sarcastically:
“Everyone, look, do you see? It seems there’s no one left in the Bai Family Army, Bai Cheng only brought a three-star divine soldier!”
“Hahaha, yes! Interesting, quite interesting!”
Listening to the sarcasm from the divine kings, Bai Cheng Divine King smiled and turned back, saying, “Yun'er, let's go.”
“Hmm.” As Tan Yun took a step, he suddenly noticed numerous gazes focused on him.
When he looked up, his eyes widened in surprise and excitement!
He discovered that Xuan Yuan Rou, dressed in pure white armor, was gazing at him from behind Mu Feng Divine King!
Tan Yun, filled with excitement, sent a voice transmission, “Rou'er, how could I be so foolish! I should have guessed that the four-star divine soldier brought by Mu Feng Divine King would be you. Aside from you, there is no one else in the world capable of such a leap to become the top soldier of the Mu Family Army.”
“Rou'er, I really miss you.”
Xuan Yuan Rou looked at Tan Yun, who was as excited as a child, and smiled enchanting, sending a voice transmission, “Long time no see, how have you been these years?”
“Good.” Tan Yun gazed affectionately at Xuan Yuan Rou, “What about you?”
“I’m also fine.” Xuan Yuan Rou’s brows furrowed with worry, “Tan Yun, as far as I know, there are many divine kings here who have grievances with Bai Cheng Divine King. I worry that their soldiers might want to eliminate you during the competition, so you must be careful.”
“And, during the competition, don’t take out your primordial chaos divine swords, primordial chaos god-slaying sword, and also don't use primordial ice flame, primordial flame, or primordial divine eye, otherwise, you might die.”
Hearing Xuan Yuan Rou's words of concern, Tan Yun clenched his fists, feeling an immense warmth, “Okay, I understand. Rou'er, don’t call me Tan Yun, remember to call me Jing Yun.”
“Hmm, I got it.” Xuan Yuan Rou nodded slightly.
Mu Wanquing peeked out, observing the tenderness in Xuan Yuan Rou's eyes as she gazed at Tan Yun. She widened her beautiful eyes, extended a delicate finger, and pointed at Tan Yun, “Sister Xuan Yuan, that ungrateful man you mentioned, it wouldn't be Jing Yun, right?”
