Chapter 950: The Banquet Was Beginning
The dog was better than humans!
They thought only the mortals would have such an idea, but the elites and heirs of the regions faced such a situation this day.
Although Mu Yanping knew that dog was in fact a top Spirit Beast and it wasn't embarrassing to lose to it, many people still couldn't believe it. Wu Shan even spurted out blood and the disciples of the Ghost Underworld Sect had lost all of their dignity. If what happened this day was spread, the entire Ghost Underworld Sect would be discredited.
"Oh my god!"
Sisi's jaw dropped and her eyes popped out.
She thought Chen Fan would lose face with so many elites present, but it was the elites who were humiliated instead. Yang Gangfeng even lost his life.
"This is like a myth." Many people thought they were dreaming.
The sisters of the Zhu family looked at Chen Fan as if he were a God.
They thought Chen Fan and his friends were just a bunch of weak Connate Cultivators. And yet, Yun Yier and Mu Hongti could already defeat all the cultivators of the same level.
Zhu Ninmuo was already regretting it.
Even though Chen Fan hid his power and his background wasn't as strong as Lin Xiao's, he was a Connate Cultivator and had help from Zhao Juexian and the others. So, he wasn't any weaker than some top sects.
As for Hua Nonyin, she was extremely embarrassed. She couldn't even look into Chen Fan's eyes.
"So, can they sit?" Chen Fan said.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
What else could Mu Yanping and the Xuankong Sword Prince say? They could only nod.
Lin Xiao's smile had already frozen. He had never thought the banquet would turn out like this. The people present couldn't even look up and were suffocating.
Unfortunately, nobody dared to disobey him after witnessing the power of Zhao Juexian and Lin Wuhua.
Even Gongsun Kui offered a toast to Chen Fan. The sisters of the Zhu family and Sisi widened their eyes as they witnessed this.
That was the descendant of the Gongsun family and an elite of the Longevity Roll, but he was toasting to a Connate Cultivator? In a heartbeat, the superior image of the elites in their minds had been destroyed.
"Brother is incredible."
Only Xiao Mang was still staring at Chen Fan with her twinkling eyes.
Even though Chen Fan didn't show his real strength, he still stood out from the others. He was the center of attention no matter where he went, which made Xiao Mang really proud.
Everyone else at the banquet was on pins and needles. On the other hand, Chen Fan really liked the Fire Dragon Wine and he drank a few jugs at once. Lin Xiao almost ended up broke because of him. That was a precious wine brewed by a Heavenly Lord!
When Chen Fan left, Lin Xiao was completely enraged.
Mu Yanping and the others glanced over the mess and Yang Gangfeng's corpse. They all felt sad and indignant.
"Who exactly is this man? There are more than one Half Heavenly Lords around him. That female assassin might even be a Sword Immortal! Is he a bastard of the Sect Master of Mount Emperor?" Mu Yanping said.
"His last name is Chen, but I've never heard of an Overlord with this last name who practices Fiend Arts on Planet Tianhuang," Lin Xiao said slowly.
"However, that kid really is a Connate Cultivator. He wouldn't be any stronger than those two maids. We might not have the same level, but we can definitely kill him if we exert ourselves."
"How? Do you want to be killed by that female assassin?" Wu Shan said.
Everyone went silent when he mentioned Lin Wuhua.
Her attack was extremely powerful and not even Half Heavenly Lords would go head to head against it.
"Don't worry, someone is more anxious than you are. That guy can only live for a few days more. Goddess Shenxi will be coming out soon," Gongsun Kui said.
Everyone followed his eyes and saw the dead Yang Gangfeng and the furious Perfected Cultivator of the Ghost Underworld Sect.
They knew Chen Fan's name would be circulating around the Reincarnation Sect.
In fact, the news spread faster than they expected.
Almost at the time when Chen Fan left the Brahma Palace, the thirty-six mountains of the Reincarnation Sect had learned about what he did.
Everyone thought it was impossible at first!
But then, after the sisters of the Zhu family, Zhang Shouzhuo and Sisi confirmed it, they had no choice but to accept it. Yang Gangfeng was indeed killed by Chen Fan's old servant and Chen Fan even humiliated the Xuankong Sword Prince and the others.
Even though these news were astonishing, the disciples of the Reincarnation Sect found them acceptable.
They all came from a Heavenly Lord Family or a large sect, and all of them had a couple of elders like Zhao Juexian. So, they were instead shocked because Zhao Juexian was actually willing to be Chen Fan's servant. On the other hand, Lin Wuhua knew powerful sword arts and she was called the "Ice Fairy."
"Haha, that guy just has a powerful background. Otherwise, why would a Half Heavenly Lord work for a Connate Cultivator? Why would the Ice Fairy follow him?"
Someone sneered.
Many people nodded.
In the Realm of Cultivation, cultivators only followed those who were powerful. People who relied on the forces behind them, like Chen Fan did, made the others feel sick. Young Overlords, including Jun Aochen and Li Huaixian, would have readily killed him.
Everyone started to doubt if there was a hidden Chen family on Planet Tianhuang and some guessed Chen Fan had a Nascent Soul Master.
"How can he possibly take the True Dragon Goddess away? There may only be a Heavenly Lord Family behind him. Even if he has a Nascent Soul Master, our sect also has a Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarch, let alone the Ghost Underworld Sect, the Heavenly Jade Institute and the Gongsun Family! Who's afraid of him?" Zhang Dongshan said.
He was a disciple of Mount Jueyan. His Master was also an elder of the Reincarnation Sect and he was one of the top ten cultivators.
A lot of people knew Zhang Dongshan was one of Xiao Mang's suitors.
After that, many other Chiefs and heavy hitters in the sect gave a comment and everyone had a negative impression on Chen Fan's attitude. In order to pacify the crowd, he would either have to be as powerful as Li Huaixian and Jun Aochen, or have a powerful background like being the Sect Master's son of Mount Emperor and the heir of the Medicine God.
Chen Fan was neither, so people would certainly look down on him.
There had been a lot of discussions around the mountains of the Reincarnation Sect. Some even claimed that Gui Mingzi, the Heavenly Jade Sword Prince and the Liyang Sword Lord were going to the banquet in honor of Goddess Shenxi just to meet Chen Fan.
Everyone knew.
The Masters behind Yang Gangfeng and the Xuankong Sword Prince were going to deal with him themselves.
"Gui Mingzi, the Heavenly Jade Sword Prince, the Liyang Sword Lord, these are all elites of the Longevity Roll. That guy is impressive. He pissed off a few of them at once." Lin Xiao shook his head.
"He's not powerful enough. He only relies on his old servant and the maid. How can they protect him forever no matter how strong they are?"
Wu Shan snickered.
He hated Chen Fan and his friends.
"My Senior might come too. Let's see if that kid can still be so arrogant."
"Are you talking about... the top General of the Demon-suppressing Heavenly Sect, General Xiao Hong?" Lin Xiao gasped.
Xiao Hong.
The top young cultivator of the Demon-suppressing Heavenly Sect and the seventh elite on the Longevity Roll!
He was truly a peerless elite!
However, Chen Fan didn't care about it. When he got out of the Brahma Palace, Xiao Mang was extremely excited.
She grabbed Chen Fan's arm and asked why Lin Wuhua and the others became so powerful. As a cultivator with Divine Meridians of True Dragons who even had access to countless resources in the Reincarnation Sect, she felt like she was no match to Mu Hongti and Yun Yier.
This greatly decreased Xiao Mang's self-esteem.
Chen Fan caressed Xiao Mang's head and said with a smile, "I told you, your brother is much more powerful than all of the Reincarnation Sect put together. The things they teach you there are nothing. I can make you the best young cultivator on Planet Tianhuang."
"Hm."
This time, Xiao Mang trusted him and she nodded.
Chen Fan really felt like Xiao Mang's talent was being wasted. If he taught her himself and passed down the True Dragon Divine Arts to her, she would be able to defeat cultivators like Yang Gangfeng.
In comparison, Hua Nonyin and Zhang Shouzhuo were a bit worried.
Although Hua Nonyin hated Chen Fan, she still told Xiao Mang that Chen Fan was in trouble.
Yang Gangfeng was the heir of the Ghost Underworld Sect, but he was killed by Chen Fan's servant. The Ghost Underworld Sect would never let him get away, let alone the Heavenly Jade Institute, the Demon-suppressing Heavenly Sect and the Liyang Heavenly Region. The Sect Master of the Demon-suppressing Heavenly Sect was even the seventh elite on the Longevity Roll, Xiao Hong.
"It's fine. There's always a solution to a problem."
Chen Fan flicked his fingers.
The elites of the Longevity Roll were nothing in his eyes.
Hua Nonyin hesitated and said, "Just be careful."
She then left anxiously.
After that, Chen Fan stayed in the True Dragon Pavilion. He either traveled around with the girls or gave Xiao Mang and Lin Wuhua lessons while he waited for Shenxi to come out.
As time passed, the time for Shenxi to exit her secluded training was getting closer.
Only
More and more young Overlords came from all over Planet Tianhuang and some were even from the Barren Regions or the far-off Fiend Sects, not to mention the Heavenly Regions. Tianyuan City was instantly full of people and the elites of the Longevity Roll had also showed up. Countless cultivators focused their attention on Tianyuan City and the Reincarnation Sect.
After all, a divine-grade Golden Core was rare and nobody wanted to miss it.
The day of the banquet was getting closer.
But Chen Fan didn't care about it at all so he remained calm. Suddenly, someone unexpected went to see him.
"Master wants to see you," Hua Nonyin said.
"Elder Yuelon?"
Chen Fan was startled.
