Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2092 - 2074: The Great Elder’s Banquet
"The three of them are no different from ordinary people, but their skin is a pale green. As for their strength, it’s truly unknown. Anyway, the mightiest powerhouse of the Earth Immortal Realm, Ancestor Qianru, couldn’t withstand a single move in front of them and was crushed to pieces by the opponent..." the old man hesitated slightly before answering Lin Feng. He wasn’t sure what Lin Feng meant by asking these questions.
Hearing the old man’s words, Lin Feng furrowed his brows. These three super powerhouses were the culprits behind the transformation of Mystic God Star. According to the old man, they should not be normal human cultivators. If they weren’t demon beasts in disguise, then they were at least other unknown non-human cultivators.
Arriving at these conclusions and thinking about the current state of Mystic God Star, Lin Feng felt quite helpless, as there was nothing he could do to restore the planet to its original state. No one knew how it became like this, and by the time people arrived, it was already like this, without a single clue. Even if he wanted to help, he was powerless.
However, although he couldn’t restore Mystic God Star to its original state, he could at least help the people here. With this in mind, Lin Feng said to the old man, "I sympathize with what’s happened to you here. Here are some cultivation resources, take them."
After saying this, Lin Feng took out some dharma treasures piled up from before, some insignificant elixirs, and considering that the people here had few clothes, he took out many unused clothes, quickly filling the entire room.
The old man was dumbfounded by this scene, not understanding why the other party was so kind to them, with so many good things, his eyes began to moisten. These items hadn’t appeared in a long time, and even the robe he was wearing was patched and tattered like a beggar’s. At this moment, how could he remain calm, he was overjoyed to the point of madness!
But to his surprise, when he wanted to say something to Lin Feng, Lin Feng’s figure had already disappeared before his eyes without him even realizing how Lin Feng had left, making him feel like he was dreaming!
When he came to his senses and touched the items Lin Feng left behind, he confirmed that everything was real, tears gushing down his face. Even not knowing who the other party was, they had given him so many good things, leaving him at a loss as to how to express his gratitude.
Recalling what Lin Feng had said before, he immediately rushed out to let everyone in Divine City know about this good deed...
While the people in Divine City were stunned by the items Lin Feng left behind, Lin Feng had already reached the surface, to what was now a flyaway super city. Standing in the air, looking at the thoroughly destroyed environment, Lin Feng frowned. If the Immortal’s purpose was to wipe out the Mystic God Star, then any planet could have been targeted, so why this one specifically?
What kind of situation could cause the surface water of Mystic God Star to completely disappear?
Observing the surroundings, Lin Feng fell into deep thought once more, even extending his divine sense to analyze the environment. Suddenly, his divine sense swept over a peculiar spot—a deep pit, which seemed originally to have been a large lake. With a shift in his form, he flew over.
Upon arriving in the pit, Lin Feng confirmed that his feeling was right—there was indeed a problem here. At the bottom of the pit, he sensed a formation. Normally, no one would set a formation in such a place. With this thought, he began to study it earnestly.
This formation was very special, a concealment formation Lin Feng had never seen before. He was very interested in such a formation, and his intuition told him that something extraordinary was hidden within it...
......
Over the past few days, Fang Yan had been guiding the many disciples in the sect each morning, spending the rest of his time alone in his cave dwelling, behaving very routinely. The reason for this was to create an opportunity for Qian Li, knowing that the other party must be plotting something against him. His method was to counter-plot with a stratagem!
He didn’t believe Qian Li would make no move at all and would certainly show up to find him...
Sure enough, one day while Fang Yan was leisurely tinkering with some small things in his cave, the Fourth Elder appeared!
"Fang Yan, it’s been some time since you returned. I’ve been busy and haven’t come to see you. I’ve prepared some very special delicacies, and I’m here expressly to invite you for a drink. Do you have the time?" the Fourth Elder said very politely, as if he genuinely intended to have a drink with Fang Yan.
Outwardly polite, the Fourth Elder’s inner thoughts were quite different. He had been forced to invite Fang Yan; Qian Li couldn’t show himself, and since Fang Yan was still a Taoist, he feared Fang Yan wouldn’t attend the banquet. There were very few people with the qualification to invite Fang Yan, and even fewer whom Fang Yan couldn’t easily refuse.
He didn’t want to come because he was afraid others would see him inviting Fang Yan, which would alert others to their plans and potentially drag him into it. Despite his reluctance, he had to come because of Qian Li’s pressure, filling him with helplessness...
"Oh? Special delicacies? You went to such trouble, Fourth Elder. If Fang Yan didn’t attend, wouldn’t it be a disservice to your efforts? Actually, you needn’t have troubled yourself. Just sending someone to inform me would suffice," Fang Yan said very courteously, as if encountering a pleasant surprise, with a smile whose underlying meaning only he knew.
"How could I? Fang Yan, you are the sect’s acknowledged top genius now. With your current strength, you could enter the Elders’ Pavilion. I wouldn’t make someone else invite you," the Fourth Elder responded at once, then subtly shifted the conversation, "Timely news—I’ve got some exceptionally delicious rare delicacies for you to enjoy. Such flavors are exceedingly rare, which is why I specially came to invite you."
"Then I’m indeed honored!" Fang Yan immediately displayed a surprised expression upon hearing the Fourth Elder, saying, "Let’s hurry then, I’m keen to see what delicacies could earn such praise from you, Fourth Elder."
"Alright, let’s go!" the Fourth Elder beamed as he replied and promptly led Fang Yan to a specific location.
"Fourth Elder, any news in the sect lately?"
"What news?"
"About the Holy Soul Sect’s campaign, it’s been silent for a long time!"
"Oh, that. After the severe casualties last time, the Holy Soul Sect would naturally be cautious. I suppose nothing would happen anytime soon."
...
As they chatted casually on the way about inconsequential matters, both were preoccupied with other thoughts.
The Fourth Elder hoped to avoid being seen by others along the way so that once Fang Yan was eliminated, all involvement could be denied. Meanwhile, Fang Yan contemplated how to leverage Qian Li’s hand to deal with Qian Li. Each played their role in this ongoing act...
When they reached an estate and entered, Fang Yan’s brows momentarily twitched as he sensed some trace of a formation, his eyes betraying a hint of killing intent...
Upon entering the courtyard, they found a table set with numerous dishes, and seated around it were the Great Elder and others.
"To see the Great Elder also invited is truly an honor, Fourth Elder," Fang Yan’s tone changed at once upon seeing Qian Li and others, speaking to the Fourth Elder with a reproachful tone, and then turned to leave.
"Fang Yan, don’t leave!" Seeing Fang Yan about to leave, the Fourth Elder immediately called out, blocking Fang Yan, "You and the Great Elder had your conflicts before. This banquet’s real purpose is to resolve the conflict between you two. Please give me this face, and stay, alright?"
The Fourth Elder’s tone was very gentle, yet anxious. Having managed to bring Fang Yan here, he couldn’t let him leave and let all previous efforts be wasted. Saying anything to prevent Fang Yan from walking away, he even signaled the Great Elder to quickly join in and persuade Fang Yan to stay!
"Fang Yan, I really wish to resolve our past misunderstandings. Isn’t this banquet an excellent chance for that?" The Great Elder also rushed forward, persuading in a very gentle manner while in reality, he wished he could crush Fang Yan with a single strike!
Blocked by the two, discomfort flickered across Fang Yan’s face, yet upon hearing their words, he feigned a realization, "I didn’t expect this banquet was arranged to that end. If Fang Yan left in such a situation, it would indeed be impolite. Since the Fourth Elder wants to mediate, I’ll give him this respect."
Having said that, Fang Yan ignored the Great Elder, heading straight to the table, leaving the Great Elder standing there.
