On the island in the center of the Spirit Lake, the Cai Clan’s second young miss Cai Yunji walked out and greeted all of Shangguan Xianyan and the Blood God Sect’s elder powerhouses inside.
As the banquet continued, there were three hundred marvelous maids wearing White Spider True Silk, fish streaming in and presenting a serving of rare delicacies, not only Half Sacred True Liquid, but also Sacred Liquid, Sacred Monkey Qiong Wine, meat of Sixth Grade Savage Beasts, delicacy fruits ripened once in a thousand years ……, and so on.
Chu Siyuan, Zhang Ruochen, Xue Sanyi, Zhao Heng, and the others still ate in a very civilized manner, but that immortal-looking old Taoist, however, wolfed down the food and quickly swept away a large portion of the delicacies in the Lotus Terrace, as if it was a windstorm.
The crowd all frowned straight away, very much suspecting that the old Taoist was a martial arts dispenser who cheated on his food and drink.
However, since he was already sitting inside a lotus plant and there was no solid proof that he was cheating on food and drink, everyone didn’t have a fit and all of them were enduring him.
“Eat! Why aren’t you guys eating?”
“Meat of the Golden Silk Savage Bull, what a good thing, eat a bite of it and you’re bound to have a great increase in physique.”
“Delicacy Fruit, it only matures once in a thousand years, and only in the Medieval Family, where can you eat it elsewhere? If you guys don’t eat it, the Old Tao will not be polite!”
……
The old Taoist was shameless, in the lotus platform, there were only nine Precious Delicacy Fruits, he alone had already eaten four of them, and then, grabbed the fifth one into his hands.
On the island at the center of the Spirit Lake, a group of brocade-clothed cultivators walked out. Their gazes, seeking around the surface of the Spirit Lake, finally, settled on Zhang Ruochen and Chu Siyuan.
The leader of the group, a man wearing a purple-gold glazed armor, with a straight figure and a nose like a hanging gall, had a hazy look flashing in his eyes as he walked over in large strides.
This person, named Guo Lu, was a commander of the Cang Long Army, carrying the title of Inferior Domain King.
Just now, at the banquet in the center area, Ji Yutang had “unintentionally” mentioned the encounter outside the gate, and immediately, a group of people rushed out, ready to stand up for Shi Zi Ji.
After all, there weren’t many opportunities to curry favor with Shi Zi, so if they could seize one, they might be able to make it big in the future.
“Earlier outside the gate, it was the two of you who offended Shi Zi Ji?”
Guo Lu stood on the outer side of the lotus platform, his armor emitting an eye-catching bright light, a pair of tiger eyes, gazing at Zhang Ruochen’s body.
This was because, earlier, Ji Yutang had mentioned that the young man with the golden mask was a Spirit Power Half-Saint with a very strong strength.
Thus, Guo Lu and the others, too, focused, on Zhang Ruochen.
“Sure enough, two plague gods.”
Xue Sanyi immediately lowered his head and let out a long sigh.
Xue Sanyi naturally knew what Guo Lu’s status was, one of the top ten commanders of the Canglong Army, the order of the seven city domains of Sacred Brightness City, and in control of hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.
Any cultivator who dared to cause trouble in Sacred Brightness City, no matter how high their cultivation level was or how impressive their status was, when they encountered the Cang Long Army, they could only obediently bow their heads.
This year alone, there were four Half Saints and hundreds of cultivators of the Fish Dragon Realm who died under Guo Lu’s palm. Among them, there were some remnants of the former dynasty, as well as the evil and demonic paths of the Gaijin.
Those remnants of the former dynasty, to Guo Lu, can be said to hate to the bone, many times planning to want to assassinate him, but all failed, but also paid a heavy price.
From this, Guo Lu’s strength, how powerful must it be?
Definitely an existence that stood at the pinnacle under the Saint realm, as long as the Saint didn’t make a move, he was enough to sweep away all the enemy invaders in the entire cultivation world.
Of course, a Saint among the remnants of the former dynasty showing up in Sacred Brightness City was tantamount to throwing himself into the net, and would surely die a miserable death.
The Heavenly King of the Heavens was sitting in Sacred Brightness City, who would dare to come and send themselves to their deaths?
Other than Guo Lu, some of the other people were also heirs of the Saint Clans that were dependent on the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion. They were quite strong and would become the masters of a sect in the future.
In the face of such a strong group of people, Xue Sanyi and Zhao Heng, all of them changed their faces slightly and immediately retreated, standing at a distance.
On the lotus platform, there was only Zhang Ruochen and Chu Siyuan, still sitting there steadily.
Other than that, that old Taoist, was still eating and drinking, and at the same time, was still stuffing his arms as hard as he could, oblivious to the fact that a huge crisis had descended upon him.
Zhang Ruochen held a Precious Delicacy Fruit in his hand, and his eyes swept around the surface of the Spirit Lake, and he didn’t find Cai Jin’s figure, and he didn’t know where that Grand Master had gone?
Just as well, since that Grand Master was not there, he could only personally solve the trouble in front of him.
“咵!”
Zhang Ruochen looked reckless as he took a bite of the Delicate Fruit and said, “You people, if it’s not too late for you to retreat now, seeing as today is the Cai Clan’s banquet, I’ll let you off the hook as well.”
The surrounding cultivators, all of them whispering, felt that the man with the golden mask was too arrogant, facing Guo Lu and a group of Sage Sect’s heirs, he dared to say such big words.
To Guo Lu’s right, a man from the Yuan Sage Sect’s Successor, laughed out loud, ”World Ji is right, you are indeed arrogant. But even if you do have some skills, shouldn’t you look at the situation first?”
“What situation?”?Zhang Ruochen asked rhetorically, and then, added, “Today is the Cai Family’s banquet, do you still dare to make a move?”
When he said this, Zhang Ruochen intentionally increased his tone, causing the sound to travel into the center island for the core figures of the Cai Family to hear.
However, those core figures of the Cai Family did not respond in any way, clearly acquiescing to the behavior of Guo Lu and the others.
Zhang Ruochen revealed a sneer and glanced towards Chu Siyuan, saying, ”Is this the young hero and hope of the Human Race that you are talking about? An object for me to learn from? If, I’m not mistaken, that new ranked apprentice grandson of yours should also be on that central island. Yet, he allowed the outsiders to bully us and didn’t come out to stop them.”
Chu Siyuan’s face was heavy and cold, and with a bang, he slapped his palm on the tabletop, transmitting, “These juniors are indeed very indolent and have no manners, and I don’t know how their elders are teaching them? Zhang Ruochen, teach them a lesson for the old man, and if anything goes wrong, the old man can help you block it.”
The man from the Yuan Sheng Sect Clan stared at Chu Si Yuan and snorted coldly, “Old man, what are you doing slapping the table? Very unconvinced? Today, it’s up to me, Yuan Zhi, to teach you how to keep a low profile, of letting you all know that there are some people that are not for you to mess with.”
Yuan Zhi took large steps forward and rushed towards Chu Si Yuan, a palm that emitted golden light pressed towards Chu Si Yuan’s left shoulder, wanting to lift him up and throw him out of the Cai Clan’s Sacred Mansion.
Yuan Zhi’s cultivation level was not low, and even though he had deliberately suppressed his power, he still emitted powerful fluctuations of holy qi.
“Giggle!”
A huge golden beast claw, from the surface of the arm, manifested.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and smiled, not standing up, but merely waving his finger and slashing forward.
Crackling sounds of thunder and lightning resounded continuously as a purple electric blade coalesced out of thin air and flew out, piercing through the golden beast’s claw and landing on Yuan Zhi’s body.
“Poof!”
Yuan Zhi flew backwards, spitting out blood from his mouth, crashing down on top of a lotus plant’s rosette, knocking over all sorts of precious food.
On his chest, a shocking black wound was left behind, and even his stomach was nearly cut open.
There was a streak of electricity that was still flowing over the wound, emitting a giggling sound.
Zhang Ruochen lightly said, “Seeing that you are young and ignorant, I’ll spare your life, next time, I’m afraid I won’t have such an opportunity.”
Just now, Yuan Zhi only wanted to capture Chu Siyuan and had no intention of killing him.
Although it was somewhat annoying, it was still not a crime punishable by death, and a small punishment would have been enough.
“This person really is so wild!”
“With just one strike, he seriously injured Yuan Zhi, this person’s strength should not be underestimated.”
……
Obviously, Zhang Ruochen’s strike just now still caused a great shock. At the very least, it had proven that he wasn’t a weakling to be held at arm’s length.
“A single move of the Electric Blade can heavily damage a Yuan Plant, your mental strength should have already reached the forty-seventh rank, right?”
A green-clothed Confucian walked out, hand cupping an ancient scroll, giving off an impression of a well-mannered person.
However, he was not an ordinary person, having a circle of spiritual power ripples that emanated from his brow, covering the entire Spirit Lake.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at him and said, “A student of the Confucian Way, how dare you get involved?”
The green-clothed Confucian student smiled faintly, “My name is Tianxuan Academy, Jun Wuyi, and I just want to come to meet you, a spiritual power expert, but I have no other intention.”
“Young man, I advise you not to make any self-mistakes, lest you ruin your future.”Zhang Ruochen said in a serious tone.
Jun Wuyi’s expression was rather disdainful as he said, “With the strength of your spiritual power, you would have been a person with a promising future, it’s just a pity that you have offended the Chi Shi Zi, and in the future, I’m afraid that there won’t be a place for you in the entire Kunlun Realm.”
What should be persuaded had already been persuaded, Zhang Ruochen didn’t bother to talk more with Jun Wuyi, mobilizing his spiritual power, he directly moved his hand and swung out.
Jun Wuyi smiled faintly and did not show any fear as he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of green-colored Haoran Zhengqi, transforming into a river of qi that surged towards Zhang Ruochen.
Jun Wuyi’s spiritual strength, reaching the forty-eighth rank, was a renowned spiritual powerhouse in Shengming City, so naturally, he had absolute confidence in suppressing Zhang Ruochen.
“Boom!”
The electric blade, which was more than ten meters long, collided with the Haoyan Zhengqi, sending out violent energy shockwaves.
Afterward, the electric blade shattered and turned into a wisp of electric ripples that dissipated into the air.
“It’s nothing more than that……No, that’s ……”
The smile on Jun Wu Yi’s face condensed, sensing that it was not good.
Because, right in the space between him and Zhang Ruochen, a second electric blade and a third electric blade …… condensed out one after another, one more powerful than the other.
“Boom boom.”
Nine electric daggers chopped out one after another, finally splitting through Jun Wuyi’s Vast Qi and landing on his body.
With a piercing sound, the powerful force carried by the electric knives chopped through Jun Wu Yi’s waist and abdomen, splitting him into two.
Nope.
That was just an illusion.
The electric knife had chopped past the root of Jun Wu Yi’s thigh, and there was still a small distance from his waist. Zhang Ruochen did not take his life, merely abolishing his legs.
Of course, this was also a warning that if anyone else dared to come and provoke, they would be getting closer and closer to death.
Jun Wuyi collapsed on the ground, turning into a half-body, his mouth emitting miserable screams as a large amount of blood simply gushed out from his thighs, looking quite miserable.
The entire surface of the Spirit Lake, so the banquet goers all quieted down, followed by a roaring sound that erupted.
