“Sigh, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have left the True Treasure Pavilion back then.”
Hall Master Shan Huo teased, “Why, Dan Hai, do you regret it?”
Hall Master Dan Hai did not say anything. Hall Master Huayun, who was stronger, sighed. “How can I not regret it? Although I knew that the True Treasure Pavilion had a deep foundation and had many Body Integration guest elders, we were not ordinary Void Refinement Realm experts. Naturally, we had to consider the future. However…”
He did not finish his sentence. However, everyone present knew what he wanted to say. It was not easy to obtain resources, and it was even more difficult to befriend other experts in the cultivation world of the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. Even if they, the Hall Masters, could befriend Body Integration experts with their own strength, the high and mighty Body Integration seniors in the past would only sit at the marginal seats at this banquet.
Hall Master Shan Huo smiled and raised his wine cup to drink with the other hall masters. He did not leave the True Treasure Pavilion. The seat that he originally arranged was not here, but he still stayed with the other hall masters.
Hall Master Yueling and the other main hall-level experts did not regret it as much as Hall Master Dan Hai and the others. However, through the banquet organized by the True Treasure Pavilion, they figured out something different. “Itinerant Immortal, Tribulation Transcendence… For so many senior cultivators to come, the True Treasure Pavilion is not what we see. This Senior Shen is not simple!” Hall Master Yueling shook his head. “We already know that Senior Shen is extraordinary. The entire Abyss of Supreme Darkness is extremely vast, and there are many Itinerant Immortals in Penglai Immortal City. However, the True Treasure Pavilion is like the True Treasure Pavilion in the five continents and four seas. It almost controls most of the cultivation cities. This is not simple to begin with.”
Hall Master Chen Yao looked around. “The situation in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness is complicated. The Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, and the others are eyeing us covetously. The True Treasure Pavilion might not be a good thing.” Hall Master Yueling smiled and said, “Such a matter is not something we can care about. I believe Senior Shen is already prepared. Alright, let’s drink. To be able to attend a banquet with so many Tribulation Transcendence and Itinerant Immortal seniors, this trip was not in vain.”
Apart from the Hall Masters of the five continents and four seas, the sect masters of the other sects and the juniors they had brought over stirred in their hearts when they saw this scene. They knew that the True Treasure Pavilion was very powerful and had resources that even the large sects in the Penglai Immortal City envied. However, the True Treasure Pavilion did not have Tribulation Transcendence cultivators or Itinerant Immortals after all. Although it controlled many cultivation cities and could not compare to the status of the Penglai Immortal City’s Tai Hua Sect in the hearts of many cultivators, their deep-rooted beliefs had quietly changed after they had seen so many Tribulation Transcendence cultivators and Itinerant Immortals.
In one of the many rooms in the backyard, the third generation’s second daughter of the Shen family, Shen Zhiyu, was dressing up and preparing to follow her mother to the banquet hall later. Beside her was a Nascent Soul cultivator. He was her Dao companion and she had met him when she went out on an adventure. Later on, the two of them experienced some hardship and developed feelings for each other. In the end, they were together.
“Yu’er, can I not go later?” The itinerant cultivator said with a bitter expression, “The people at the banquet are all seniors. Just their aura pressure is unbearable for a Nascent Soul cultivator like me.”
Shen Zhiyu covered her mouth and said with a smile, “Husband is afraid. Don’t worry, my mother said that the banquet hall is a special Dharma treasure. Those inside can suppress all cultivation auras. Even Itinerant Immortals are undoubtedly ordinary people.”
“But, but even so, I-I’m afraid.” The itinerant cultivator could not help but say, “That’s an Itinerant Immortal. Just the thought of it makes my legs go weak. Yu’er, although I know that your identity is different, I just didn’t expect the Shen family to have such a strong foundation. An Itinerant Immortal actually came to a banquet!”
Shen Zhiyu turned around and looked at her Dao Companion. She said seriously, “Husband, any Nascent Soul cultivator would be afraid, but if we want to be together forever, you have to face reality.”
The itinerant cultivator took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. “Yu’er, I’ll overcome it.” When he spoke, his teeth were chattering. Shen Zhiyu was very helpless, but she understood her husband very well.
When the banquet was about to begin, the door of the City Lord Manor welcomed a Mahayana Realm expert wearing a bamboo hat. After he took out his gift, he followed the maidservant in the mansion to the banquet hall. He sent a voice transmission in his sea of consciousness, “Ancient Demon Chaha, you must remember that you only have one chance to attack. Once you attack, you will immediately be suppressed by the immortal formation. Whether you can escape safely depends on your luck.”
“Chaha understands. Regardless of whether I live or die, I will destroy that pavilion master.”
Chaha was a second-stage Ancient Demon, equivalent to a Golden Immortal expert of the human race. The Demon Race had paid a huge price to arrange for such an expert to infiltrate.
Of course, none of the Level 2 Ancient Demons were willing to be cannon fodder. Chaha had a special reason. He did not have much life span left, so he took a risk before he died. If he succeeded, the higher-ups of the Demon Race would spend resources to extend his life and even let him break through to the Golden Immortal Realm.
At the defense line of the sea of stars, the Golden Immortal in charge of the Demon Race was paying attention at all times. Including Ling Chen of the Spirit Race, he knew that the ancient demon who could be said to be a sacrificial soldier had successfully entered the City Lord Manor. The other party could hide from the Immortal Array and the Immortal Dao experts in the city. He had special treasures.
This treasure was bestowed by the Immortal Venerable.
“Don’t worry. As long as we avoid the detection of the immortal formation, Chaha will definitely succeed!”
“That immortal formation was given to the True Treasure Pavilion Master by the human Immortal Venerable. He definitely didn’t expect that the immortal formation wouldn’t detect it. I only hoped to lure out that human junior!” “Although the pavilion master of the True Treasure Pavilion is a facade created by a human Beast Spirit genius, how could that junior not come on such a grand day? As long as he appears, it will be the time of his death.”
Killing the True Treasure Pavilion Master was not his goal. As a second-stage Ancient Demon, Chaha was powerful and could instantly destroy a Mahayana Realm expert. When he attacked, he could naturally investigate the background of all the cultivators at the banquet. At that time, he could find that Beast Spirit genius and kill him together.
A moment later, Chaha arrived at the banquet hall. This hall was rather strange. It was surrounded by dazzling walls and pillars engraved with patterns. More importantly, once one entered the hall, the magic power and aura in their bodies would be suppressed and restrained. Although it was not completely impossible to activate, the aura and pressure would be offset.
“It’s about to begin!” Chaha sat in the arranged seat and looked around. “Hmph, the humans only know how to hold these fancy banquets. However, the more lively, the better. The humans have a saying that they take advantage of the situation. That fellow definitely didn’t expect me to take action in such a huge scene.” It picked up the wine and drank. “It’s worth it even if I die to make a Level 2 Ancient Demon like me attack with all my might… Tsk tsk, this wine is indeed not bad.”
As the banquet began, Shen Ping brought his wife, concubine, and Dao companions into the hall. Behind him were many descendants of the bloodline. Most of the cultivators in the seats stood up.
“Fellow Daoist Huang, you can attend my Dao Companion’s banquet…”
“Fellow Daoist Qu, Fellow Daoist Chen…”
Shen Ping kept cupping his hands at the many Mahayana Realm, Tribulation Transcendence and Itinerant Immortals. When he reached the front, he even took out wine and exchanged pleasantries with many cultivators before drinking together.
After sitting down, the banquet officially began. Chaha sat in his seat and did not make a move. He was waiting. At the same time, he quickly sized up every cultivator, wanting to find the Beast Spirit genius of the human race. However, no matter how he searched, he could not sense the special magic fluctuation on the Beast Spirit genius.
“Damn it, could it be that he didn’t come? No, last time in the Canglan Demon World, the other Ancient Demons couldn’t detect it either. Perhaps the other party has a treasure that can hide from detection.” As it pondered, it looked at the pavilion master of the True Treasure Pavilion in front of it. At this moment, it realized that the pavilion master was actually smiling at it. “This guy is quite kind. Wait, why are so many cultivators smiling at me?! Oh no, I’ve been discovered!”
He reacted. The Ancient Demon Chaha immediately attacked. A terrifying and huge demonic aura surged out. The entire banquet hall was filled with a dense demonic aura like a tide. Under this monstrous demonic aura, all the cultivators seemed to be frozen at this moment.
“Ant, die!”
The moment his aura erupted, Chaha locked onto Shen Ping and condensed his demonic qi into a demonic saber that slashed down..
