At night, when the moon rose, a ceremonial platform had already been set up on a jade platform on top of a thousand feet high mountain beside the Mirror Lake. Beautiful waiters and strong men came back and forth like fish, bringing up jars of fine wine and spirit fruits and delicacies. There was also a velvet silk carpet that covered the entire platform. The main seat at the front was not high, it was at the same level as the guest seats, and there were more than ten guest seats lined up on the side.
There were no other peaks around them. Sitting on the platform, drinking wine and discussing the Dao, the stars in the sky above their heads and feet, naturally giving off a kind of immortal aura. When Fang Xing and the Great Golden Crow lazily rushed over, on the platform, the fat Young Palace Master of the Tianyi Palace, Xie Linfuan, a disciple of the Talisman Way, Qiu Xiaoyu, a disciple of the Yin Spirit Way, and several other famous cultivators had already arrived.
Apart from Dao Wufang, the Young Palace Master of the Tianyi Palace, who was a bit of an eyesore, the rest of the people were all the same. The men had fluttering sleeves, and the women were beautiful and elegant, with the demeanor of immortals. At this moment, they were sitting in their seats, talking and laughing, talking loudly and eloquently. When they saw Fang Xing coming from afar on a cloud, they stopped talking. Several servants in the Realm of Foundation Building flew into the air to welcome them. They said with a smile, "Young Palace Master, you've been waiting for a long time!"
Seeing that it was only a servant who came to receive him, Fang Xing was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything.
He pressed down on the cloud and saw that all the other seats were already occupied, except for one, which must have been reserved for him. It was on the left side of the Young Palace Master of the Tianyi Palace, Dao Wufang, which was also a seat of honor. On his right side sat the expressionless Xie Linfuan, and to his left was the expressionless Qiu Xiaoyu, who was full of hidden bitterness. It could be seen that these two people were not of low status.
"Fellow Fang, it was clearly written on the invitation letter that the banquet will start at 7 o'clock. You are late, so you will have to punish yourself with three cups of wine later!"
Seeing that Fang Xing had arrived, the plump Young Palace Master Dao Wufang raised his body. Given his size, it was already very strenuous for him to bow like this. He cupped his hands together towards Fang Xing and said with a laugh. "Young Palace Master Dao Wufang.
"Haha, well said, well said. I don't care if it's a punishment or a reward. I just love to drink!"
Fang Xing didn't say that he would give the Great Golden Crow a hard time. Instead, he laughed heartily as he and the Great Golden Crow stepped onto the dais.
But when he looked at the empty seat, he frowned. There was only one seat. How could he and the Great Golden Crow sit together?
He cupped his hands towards a cultivator who was sitting at the lower seat and said, "Sir, please give up your seat!"
The cultivator's temples were gray, and he didn't look young anymore. When he heard that he was asked to sit at the lower seat of the Nan Zhan cultivator, he was already unhappy. Just now, when everyone stood up to question Fang Xing, he was sitting there motionlessly, pouring himself a cup of wine and drinking by himself, as if he didn't see Fang Xing coming over. He was thinking that he would make things difficult for him later, but he didn't expect that this guy would take the initiative to make things difficult for him. Asking him to change seats?
His heart turned cold. He looked up at Fang Xing and sneered, "Why?"
Fang Xing pointed at the Great Golden Crow and said, "Give it to my brother!"
The cultivator became even angrier. He slammed his palm on the jade table and shouted coldly, "What a joke! I'm a dignified Yu Jizi. Why should I give up my seat to a feathered animal? Do you think this is the remote countryside like Nan Zhan? In China, there's no reason to let animals sit at the table! "
Everyone was stunned by his words. They didn't expect a fight to break out so quickly.
Some people giggled, while others whispered to each other and pointed at each other.
"This Nan Zhan cultivator really doesn't know etiquette. He actually brought his own mount to sit with him …"
"Haha, that's slow. Most people don't want to argue with him, but he actually asked the leader of the Iron Horse Mountain, who has the fiercest temper, to give up his seat. Everyone knows that the leader of the Iron Horse Mountain has a violent temper. He even dared to talk back to the Yuanying Ancestor …"
"Haha, this guy is looking for trouble!"
Facing this scene, even Jia Dao Wu Fang and the elder in charge beside him were a little surprised. Although the banquet was not a good one, he would not arrange such a lowly method. He really thought that the Great Golden Crow was just Fang Xing's mount. He didn't expect him to take a seat with him. They looked at each other and hinted to the elder in charge to mediate. At most, they would just give the Golden Crow a seat at the end of the platform.
"Animals can't be at the table?"
Fang Xing also seemed to be stunned. He stared at the cultivator with a strange expression.
The cultivator glanced at the Great Golden Crow and sneered, "This is a principle that everyone knows. Do you still need me to teach you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately caused a burst of cold laughter. Countless disdainful gazes swept over.
Even Qiu Xiaoyu, who was sitting below Xie Linfuan, had an unfriendly look in her eyes as she glanced over.
Although she already knew Fang Xing's identity, when she looked at Fang Xing, she was still as contemptuous and arrogant as before. There was even a bit of hatred in her eyes. It was obvious that she thought that Fang Xing had deliberately deceived her. This hatred did not dissipate, but instead became even stronger.
The leader of the Iron Cavalry Mountain was indeed a bit angry, but he only complained. In his mind, he didn't think that such a few sarcastic words would cause any trouble. When he said these words, he thought that if this cultivator Nan Zhan backed down, then he would give up his seat for the sake of the young palace master of the Tianyi Palace, Dao Wu Fang. In any case, he didn't want to sit with them.
Unexpectedly, just as he said these words, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing towards him.
"Then why are you still sitting here, you animal?"
"Pah!"
The cultivator suddenly received a heavy slap on the cheek. His entire body flew out as if he had fallen into the clouds.
In front of Fang Xing, he could not tolerate the Great Golden Crow being insulted. This slap was not hesitant at all.
His attack was fast, the distance was close, and coupled with the fact that he was caught off guard, this cultivator, who was also at the middle stage of the Aurous Core stage, was unable to even block it and was directly sent flying by the slap. After a long while, a "plop" sound came from the distant mirror lake, causing a splash. It was Fang Xing's slap that directly sent him flying into the mirror lake, which was almost a thousand feet away.
"How dare you!"
"Too much!"
"How rude!"
After being stunned for a long while, several people suddenly jumped up and slapped the jade table, pointing their halberds at Fang Xing and shouting.
The expression on his face was both angry and shocked. No one expected this bastard to make a move just like that.
The people present today were different from when they were at the Little Mirror Lake. To be able to walk in the same circle as Dao Wufang and Xie Linfuan, even if they were lackeys, how could they be ordinary? All of them had prominent statuses. If they were in a mortal dynasty, they would at least be able to become a State Preceptor. Even if they were sent to the Outer Realms, they would still be able to manage a mine or a sect. For example, the Mountain Lord of Iron Weapon Mountain was a disciple of the Eastern Profound Palace in the Divine Continent. It could be said that in the Northern Domain, the Mountain Lord of Iron Weapon Mountain represented the Eastern Profound Palace.
But he was actually sent flying with a single slap?
"Which other beast wants to get out of here? Stand up and let this young master have a look!"
Fang Xing stepped on the jade table with one foot and picked up a stool in passing. His eyes swept across the room.
The Great Golden Crow also flapped its wings and raised its head. Its pair of round eyes shot out in all directions, like a poisonous flame.
For a moment, the two sides were like fire and water. Before they had even drunk a cup of wine, they were already at daggers drawn.
Even Dao Wufang was a little surprised. With a wry smile, he ordered the Elder Deacon behind him to fish up the Mountain Lord of Iron Weapon Mountain who had fallen into the Mirror Lake, lest he drowned. Then, he clapped his fat hands and said in a low voice with a smile, "It's my fault for not being considerate enough. I forgot about this Brother Demon. Forget it. Fellow Taoists, please give me some face and take a step back to calm down."
Those cultivators at the banquet all followed the lead of the Young Master of the Tianyi Palace. Originally, they had planned to take Fang Xing down a notch. However, they did not expect that they would be disrupted. Before they could do anything, Fang Xing had already taken them down a notch. Although they were a little angry, they knew what Dao Wufang was thinking. So, they had no choice but to sit down and look at Fang Xing with unkind eyes.
If it were anyone else in this murderous banquet, they would really be sitting on pins and needles.
However, Fang Xing and the Great Golden Crow were extremely daring. They did not take it seriously at all. They casually sat down at the table, raised their cups and ordered the attendants to pour wine. They even looked at Qiu Xiaoyu with a smile, and then looked at Xie Linfuan beside her. Although this person did not show any intention of being close to Qiu Xiaoyu, from Qiu Xiaoyu's appearance, it was clear that he was the heartless person she had mentioned.
When Qiu Xiaoyu saw Fang Xing, her eyes immediately revealed a faint sense of disgust. Although she already knew Fang Xing's identity, when she looked at Fang Xing, she was still as contemptuous and arrogant as before. This was not because she really looked down on Fang Xing, but because she felt fear in her heart, she subconsciously became more and more indifferent and proud, as if she was protecting herself, and subconsciously moved closer to Xie Linfuan.
"Haha, Fellow Taoism Fang, although you were in South Zhan before, I've heard that you're a hero who has accomplished many great things at such a young age. You can be said to be a promising young man. I've wanted to make friends with you for a long time, but I've never had the chance. I didn't expect that you'd come to the Divine Land and settle down in Tianyi Palace. You're really glorious. I've specially prepared this humble wine to welcome you.
Seeing that Fang Xing had poured the wine, the big fatty Dao Wufang raised the wine bottle and gestured from afar.
"Haha, no problem!"
Seeing that although this fatty was ugly, his words were pleasing to the ear, Fang Xing did not dislike him anymore, and smiled as he raised his cup.
"Hehe, I have also heard of the reputation of the little devil Nan Zhan, but unfortunately, a hundred rumors are not as good as seeing once. He is actually a villain who hides his head and shows his tail!"
The other cultivators had lost most of their arrogance after being slapped by Fang Xing. In addition, without Dao Wufang's signal, no one would immediately put pressure on Fang Xing. Moreover, Dao Wufang took the initiative to raise his cup and offer the wine. Just as the atmosphere was slightly relaxed, a cold voice was heard, causing the atmosphere to freeze again. Everyone turned to look, only to see that it was the disciple of the Yin Spirit Path, Qiu Xiaoyu.
The more this woman looked at Fang Xing, the more she disliked him. Others were afraid of Dao Wufang, but she was not. She spoke in a cold voice.
