When he had faced Xiao Chen earlier, the leader had felt immense pressure.
Now that Xiao Chen and the rest had left, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
This group of people is definitely not simple, he thought to himself.
Now, he was certain that Xiao Chen and the rest were definitely not ordinary people.
When they returned to the city defense division, the first thing this person did was look for Li Shan and report respectfully.
"Hall Master, I have found them and they said that they will attend the banquet later."
"Well, then go and prepare. Make sure everything is done well and don't screw up."
In response, Li Shan had been reading the book in his hand all this time. He did not even lift his head as he replied, as though he had seen something interesting.
Li Shan was rather strange. His cultivation talent was extremely high. Otherwise, he would not have reached the level of an ancient creature at such a young age.
Although he was definitely incomparable to Xiao Yao and Xiao Lao, Li Shan was definitely considered young among ancient creatures.
However, compared to cultivation, Li Shan gave off the feeling that he preferred reading. Moreover, Li Shan was indeed immersed in a sea of books most of the time every day.
Upon hearing this, the person left respectfully. Li Shan was once again immersed in the sea of books. The room was extremely quiet.
"Are you very interested in the Hall Master of the city defense division?"
On the other side, Lin Yun asked Xiao Chen after they found an inn and sat together.
In response, Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
"I am somewhat interested. My intuition tells me that this person should be very interesting."
Originally, Xiao Chen could have completely ignored Li Shan. However, Xiao Chen had agreed to attend the banquet in the end. This meant that Xiao Chen also wanted to meet the so-called Hall Master of the city defense division.
In response, Lin Yun smiled slightly and did not say much. Since Xiao Chen had already made a decision, he naturally would not object. Moreover, it was not a big deal to make a trip there.
Soon, it was evening. The Heaven Fiend Hall's branch was easy to find. It was located in the center of the city. It occupied a large area, just like a palace.
In Mou City, anyone would know the location of the Heaven Fiend Hall's branch. Hence, Xiao Chen and his group easily found it.
As the only ruler of the city, this place was deserted. Everyone seemed to be deliberately avoiding this place, not daring to get too close.
Just as Xiao Chen's group arrived, a scholarly man walked out from outside the door.
This person was none other than Li Shan himself.
He personally came out to welcome Xiao Chen and the others. Moreover, his gaze immediately locked onto Xiao Chen and Lin Yun.
"I say, Daoist, this person doesn't seem to be weak."
Behind Xiao Chen and Lin Yun, the monk whispered to the Daoist priest beside him.
Both of them were extremely sensitive to auras. In response, the Daoist priest nodded and said.
"He has the cultivation of an ancient creature at the Great Fulfilment Realm and should have touched the threshold of the Divine Ancestor Realm. In terms of strength, he is probably on par with us."
It should be known that the monk and the Daoist priest were almost invincible among the ancient creatures.
In the same realm, there were very few people who could be compared to the two of them. However, Li Shan actually received such a high evaluation from the Daoist priest.
Moreover, the Daoist priest's words were not flattering at all. Li Shan was not worthy of the Daoist priest's flattery. He really felt a trace of threat from Li Shan.
This guy was really strange. It was no wonder that Xiao Chen would be interested in him.
While the two of them were talking, Li Shan had already arrived in front of Xiao Chen and Lin Yun. He took the initiative to cup his hands and bow.
"I am Li Shan, the Hall Master of this branch in Mou City. Greetings, everyone."
"You're too polite."
In response, Xiao Chen only nodded slightly. His attitude was somewhat indifferent. However, Li Shan did not care at all. He still warmly led everyone in.
In the main hall, a banquet had already been prepared. The standard was very high, and the dishes were all of the best. At least in Mou City, there was probably no better place.
Everyone took their seats in order. Li Shan personally poured wine for Xiao Chen, Lin Yun, and the others. Not only Xiao Chen, Lin Yun, but also Lin Yuan, Long Qing, the monk, and the Daoist priest. Li Shan did not treat them differently.
"Everything that happened before was a misunderstanding. I apologize here first. I hope everyone will not take it to heart. I will drink first as a sign of respect."
With that, Li Shan drank the wine in his cup in one gulp. Seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled and also drank it in one gulp.
This Li Shan was indeed somewhat interesting. From the moment he came in until now, this guy did not say anything else. He only kept apologizing.
It was as if he really wanted to apologize for what happened before. However, Xiao Chen knew that this was definitely not his main goal.
Inviting them to the banquet to apologize was just an excuse. What Xiao Chen wanted to know now was what exactly Li Shan wanted to do.
However, curiosity aside, Xiao Chen remained unmoved on the surface. He had an indifferent expression as he waited for Li Shan to continue.
Everyone chatted as they drank. The two Vice Hall Masters of the branch accompanied them. Of course, these two people definitely did not have any right to speak.
"Everyone should be new to the Scattered Star Sea, right?"
"Yes, we have indeed just arrived."
"I see. Although the Scattered Star Sea is quite famous in the Fire Phoenix Galaxy, to be honest, almost everyone who lives here is forced to do so."
"To be honest, compared to the other five major regions, it is much more difficult to survive in the Scattered Star Sea."
"First of all, there is the law. Unlike the other five major regions, the Scattered Star Sea can be said to be a place outside the law. Whoever has the bigger fist has the right."
"Moreover, because there is no real overlord here, the Scattered Star Sea is even more chaotic."
"To be honest, if there were other options, who would want to live in such a place outside the law? In addition, the geographical location of the Scattered Star Sea is equivalent to being in the middle of the five major regions. It is incomparable."
"By the way, Senior Xiao Chen, Senior Lin Yun, you should be from the Eastern Region, right?"
After chatting for a while, everyone seemed to have become friends. The main reason was that Li Shan's way of dealing with people gave off an extremely amiable feeling.
Who would believe that such a person was the Hall Master of the Heaven Fiend Hall? If he said that he was a well-read scholar, no one would doubt it.
Previously, it seemed like they were chatting, but Li Shan was constantly inquiring about Xiao Chen and the others. As for Xiao Chen and the others, naturally, they had already sensed it.
When he heard Li Shan's words, Xiao Chen smiled slightly, raised his wine cup, and took a sip unhurriedly before speaking slowly.
"Hall Master Li, you are a smart person. There is no need for smart people to speak in such a secretive manner. Although I don't know what you are thinking, I think it is better to speak frankly. There is no need to beat around the bush. What do you say?"
