160: Divine Emperor Palace

Zhang Boyue heard Lin Mu's question and quickly replied.

“Reporting to Old Ancestor, it is rumored that this banquet is being held for the Western God Emperor’s youngest son.”

Lin Mu frowned slightly, then said, “The God Emperor’s youngest son?”

Zhang Boyue saw that Lin Mu seemed not to understand much, and continued.

“The Western God Emperor has three sons and one daughter.”

“Two of his sons are already God Monarch Realm Experts who have been famous for a long time, and this youngest son is said to have broken through to the God Monarch Realm in just a hundred years.”

“He is deeply favored by the God Emperor!”

“This banquet is to celebrate his youngest son’s breakthrough to the God Monarch Realm.”

When Zhang Boyue finished speaking, Lin Mu didn't react much upon hearing it.

But Xiao Hong and Zhang Daoling, who were standing behind Lin Mu, simultaneously showed expressions of shock.

Zhang Daoling, with his extraordinary talent, was once the number one God King.

Yet, it took him over a thousand years to break through to the God Monarch Realm.

And that was with the blessing of Primal God Power.

He never expected someone could break through to the God Monarch Realm in just a hundred years.

Such talent is absolutely unique in the entire God Realm.

It is conceivable that if this child can grow smoothly, his future achievements will be no less than that of the God Emperor.

This is not good news for the Zhang Family.

If that day truly comes.

The balance of the God Realm will be broken.

The various factions will inevitably fight to the death.

As a vassal of the Western God Emperor, the Zhang Family will certainly be used as cannon fodder in the fight.

How many people from the Zhang Family will survive then?

Thinking of this, Zhang Daoling couldn't help but worry.

However, his gaze immediately turned to Lin Mu.

“Perhaps this man can break the new pattern of the God Realm.”

Zhang Daoling thought this, and his resolve to follow Lin Mu became even firmer.

After Lin Mu finished listening to Zhang Boyue's explanation, he pondered for a moment and then made a decision.

He said with a slight smile, “Since it’s a happy occasion for the God Emperor’s youngest son, This Young Master will give him a grand gift.”

Lin Mu's return undoubtedly gave the Zhang Family a sense of reassurance.

The Zhang Family, which had been in a state of panic, now calmed down.

The family members of the Zhang Family who went out to handle affairs these past few days all returned with joyful smiles.

Because no matter where they went, people in the city, upon seeing someone from the Zhang Family, showed fawning expressions.

This was all thanks to the strong methods Lin Mu displayed.

Even the God Emperor’s children, he did not put in his eyes.

The members of the Zhang Family now sincerely worshipped this mysterious Old Ancestor.

On this morning, Lin Mu and the three others left the Zhang Family amidst the respectful gazes of the crowd.

For this trip, in addition to Zhang Daoling and Xiao Hong accompanying him, Lin Mu also brought Zhang Boyue along.

After all, at the banquet, there needed to be someone to handle the formalities.

Lin Mu disdained to show his face, and Xiao Hong and Zhang Daoling were not convenient to appear rashly.

Therefore, Zhang Boyue, as the family head, became the most suitable candidate.

The four did not delay on their journey and arrived at their destination in just half a day.

The God Emperor Palace is located in Jialan City, the largest city in the Western Region.

Ever since Jialan God Emperor named it, everyone had forgotten what its original name was.

But no one would care anyway.

Jialan City is a huge, octagonal city.

Each position has a huge magic array, and the eight magic arrays form a huge defensive array.

It is said that this formation was personally set up by Jialan God Emperor.

He once released a message.

The defensive power of this formation is astonishing.

Even if a God Emperor personally attacked, he would not be able to break it.

Lin Mu and his group landed outside the city.

Such a formation obviously did not allow flying through the air.

Zhang Boyue was clearly not visiting Jialan City for the first time.

He skillfully introduced Jialan City.

Lin Mu listened to his narration both intentionally and unintentionally.

Although many outsiders had come to the city due to the God Emperor's banquet.

The wide roads, however, did not appear crowded.

The several people walked leisurely and soon arrived at the God Emperor Palace.

As soon as Lin Mu approached, a cold voice, tinged with anger, suddenly came over.

“I didn’t expect you to truly not fear death.”

Lin Mu knew who was speaking without even looking.

It was Jun Wuyou, who had fled in a hurry that day.

He didn't turn his head, but walked straight into the God Emperor Palace.

Seeing this, Jun Wuyou's face behind him became even gloomier.

Suddenly, an old man behind him said, “Young Master, do not be rash; this old man will stand up for you at the banquet.”

Jun Wuyou only huffed angrily after hearing the old man’s words.

Then he also followed into the God Emperor Palace.

As the long-term residence of the Western God Emperor, the luxuriousness of the God Emperor Palace goes without saying.

The entire palace is divided into three layers.

The outermost layer is where the guards are stationed.

The second layer is where the disciples and high-ranking officials reside.

The innermost layer is where the God Emperor and his family live.

Each layer has a large number of guards patrolling and standing guard.

The lowest-ranking guards in the outermost layer alone have cultivation levels of at least the True God Realm.

This shows how formidable the God Emperor's power is.

Compared to the God Emperor Palace, the Zhang Family was no different from ants.

Along the way, Lin Mu and the others were subjected to several inspections.

They passed through smoothly with the invitation in hand.

When the few people walked to the innermost layer.

Hundreds of people had already gathered here.

They were all people from various forces in the Western Region.

Lin Mu glanced around.

He found that there were no less than ten God Monarch Realm Experts alone.

These people, who were rarely seen on ordinary days, were all gathered here today.

While Lin Mu was observing them.

These God Monarch Realm Experts also swept their divine senses over the few people.

When they saw that Lin Mu's aura could not be seen through, they didn't pay too much attention.

There were too many divine artifacts in the God Realm that could block others' perception.

However, when they saw the cultivation levels of Zhang Daoling and Xiao Hong.

They all simultaneously showed expressions of shock and confusion.

Two unfamiliar God Monarch Realm Experts?

One must know that in the God Realm, every God Monarch is a renowned existence.

These two were wearing masks to conceal their faces.

Their divine senses also failed to see their true appearances.

However, they were not too presumptuous.

Their divine senses merely flashed past.

As fellow God Monarch Realm Experts, the dignity of a God Monarch is inviolable.

However, in a corner, a hunched old woman, at the moment she saw Xiao Hong.

Her two eyes shot out a terrifying cold light.

Xiao Hong felt a chill run through her body from that gaze.

When she followed the gaze.

The spot where the old woman had been standing was now empty.

Xiao Hong stared at that spot in confusion, muttering, “Was it just an illusion?”

Lin Mu heard Xiao Hong's voice, suddenly stopped and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Hong shook her head and said, “Nothing.”

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Lin Mu did not ask further.

Instead, he found an open space and stopped there on his own.

As soon as Lin Mu stood still, he heard a magnetic voice say.

“Thank you all for traveling so far; This one apologizes for the oversight.”

“My father is already waiting in the hall; please come inside, everyone.”
