Chapter 18 The Little Tyrant of the Overlord Blade Sect
Chapter 18 The Little Tyrant of the Overlord Blade Sect
When Su Yongquan and his group arrived at the Zhou family's residence, the gate was already packed with people.
There were monks watching, servants receiving guests, and sixteen young girls on either side of the entrance.
A bright red carpet was laid out in front of the Zhou family's gate. Seeing the platter of spirit fruits held by the welcoming girl at the door, Chu Feng knew that an important figure from the Zhou family was probably coming.
The Zhou family would not value Old Master Su, the City Lord's Mansion, or the Danlou, among other forces.
"Old Master Su of the Su family, along with his granddaughter Su Xiaoxiao and grandson-in-law Chu Feng, have come to visit!"
The only person to greet Su Yongquan and his two companions was a minor guard from the Zhou family; no direct descendant of the Zhou family was present.
Clearly, they completely ignored the Su family.
However, Su Yongquan didn't care at all; he had brought Chu Feng along to scout out the situation.
Upon entering the hall, Su Yongquan discovered that the leaders of the eight major forces had all arrived, and he was the last to arrive.
What Su Yongquan found strange was that there were ten chairs in the hall, four on each side and two on the main seat.
The strangest thing was that Zhou Guoyun, the patriarch of the Zhou family, was also sitting on the chairs on both sides.
"Brother Su, it's been a long time..." As soon as Su Yongquan entered, Liu Yishu, the head of the Liu family, Wang Changdong, the head of the Wang family, and Jian Yulai, the head of the Jian family, all clasped their fists in greeting.
As for Zhou Guoyun, the patriarch of the Zhou family, Qin Yueming, the city lord, and Zeng Yunxia, the master of the Qibao Pavilion, they simply nodded to Su Yongquan.
When Qin Yueming saw Chu Feng, his eyes were filled with hatred; he wished he could tear Chu Feng to pieces.
Chu Feng didn't even glance at him; he was nothing but an ant.
However, Wu Heng, the master of Danlou, clasped his hands in greeting and nodded to Su Yongquan and the other two.
Su Yongquan returned the greetings one by one, and then sat down in the remaining seat. Chu Feng and Su Xiaoxiao stood on either side of Su Yongquan.
"Brother Su, do you know why Zhou Guoyun invited us to this banquet?" Jian Yulai, the head of the Jian family, was sitting right next to Su Yongquan.
Su Yongquan, Jian Yulai, Wang Changdong, and Liu Yishu sat on the left side of the hall, while the right side represented the forces of the City Lord's Mansion, Danlou, Qibaoge, and the Zhou family.
"Judging from this situation, it seems the Zhou family has some plans?" Chu Feng frowned, thinking to himself.
Su Yongquan looked around before whispering, "Brother Jian, you don't know either? The servant who delivered the invitation didn't say anything, only that it was for a banquet. I'm wondering about that too!"
Jian Yulai whispered, "Brother Su, I have a bad feeling. This old man probably doesn't have good intentions! Look at those two chairs in the main seat, something seems off!"
Su Yongquan nodded and said, "I think so too. However, if the old man thinks we're easy targets, he'll be disappointed!"
Having already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I have no fear of any schemes Zhou Guoyun may have!
Those at a higher level can discern the cultivation level of those at a lower level, while those at a lower level cannot discern the true nature of those at a higher level.
Therefore, no one in the hall knew that Su Yongquan had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Of course, if Chu Feng concealed his strength, these people wouldn't be able to tell, unless Chu Feng wanted them to see it.
Today, Chu Feng did not conceal his cultivation level. City Lord Qin Yueming already knew his true strength, so whether he concealed it or not was no longer important.
"Reporting to the master, the young master sent someone to say that the messenger will be at the main gate soon!" At this moment, a guard rushed in and said.
"Come with me to greet the envoy!" Zhou Guoyun hurriedly ran out.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what Zhou Guoyun was up to. Aside from greeting the Danlou Pavilion Master, the Qibaoge Pavilion Master, and the City Lord when they arrived, the old man completely ignored the other four family heads!
Who is this envoy we are going to greet? And who is he?
Everyone had a bad feeling.
"Your Excellency, please come in!" Just then, Zhou Guoyun led two young men in. Zhou Guoyun was bowing, looking extremely obsequious!
"Hahahaha! Patriarch Zhou, you're too kind!" The man wore a Qiyun crown, a purple-gold robe, and Dengyun boots. His eyes shone brightly, and he had an imposing and dignified air about him. He was clearly no ordinary person.
"Qing'er, quickly give the gift that Grandpa prepared to the envoy!" Zhou Guoyun instructed the young man behind him before the man even sat down.
"Grandpa, I'll go get it right away." This person was Zhou Dongqing, the third-generation direct descendant of the Zhou family, who was exceptionally talented.
After the messenger sat down, he never spoke again. Judging from his demeanor, he was the type who looked down on everyone.
Since the envoy remained silent, the others also refrained from speaking, and thus, the hall fell into complete silence.
A few breaths later, Zhou Dongqing came out carrying a plate.
Upon seeing what was on the plate, everyone's heart skipped a beat! Especially Wu Heng, the master of Danlou, whose eyes narrowed!
"Leafless fruit! Three Treasures Flower!" Chu Feng's heart stirred.
The Fruit of No Karma and the Three Treasures Flower are the main ingredients for refining the fifth-grade Qi Condensation Pill, and are priceless!
A single leafless fruit would cost at least a million low-grade spirit stones! Add the Three Treasures Flower, and even two million low-grade spirit stones might not be enough to buy it!
In places like prefectural cities or county towns, these two spiritual herbs would be worth five million low-grade spirit stones, which wouldn't be surprising!
Has this old man lost his mind? He obtained such a miraculous elixir and now he wants to give it away?
In an instant, everyone cursed in their hearts, "What a spendthrift!"
"Your Excellency, this is a gift prepared for you by my grandfather. I hope you will be satisfied!" Zhou Dongqing respectfully presented the gift with both hands.
The man in the golden robe couldn't take his eyes off the food on the plate. Although he was an inner disciple of the Overlord Blade Sect, his strength was too low, and he was at the bottom of the sect.
Now that I have obtained two fifth-grade spiritual herbs, as long as I bring them back to the sect, it is not impossible for me to advance to the Yuan Dan stage!
"Good, haha, good, Patriarch Zhou, you're too kind. I, Liu Yunchuan, will remember this favor! This time, when the Tyrant Blade Sect recruits disciples, I will give the Zhou family five outer disciple slots and ten miscellaneous disciple slots!" Liu Yunchuan laughed a few times and directly put the spiritual medicine into his storage bag.
Chu Feng sighed inwardly. With this kid's cultivation at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, obtaining these two spiritual herbs would allow him to exchange them for a large number of Foundation Establishment pills. Breaking through to the Yuan Dan stage would be a piece of cake for him.
It's such a pity that these two medicinal herbs are wasted. If I had obtained them, I could have refined them directly into pills, maximizing their value.
"The Overlord Blade Sect!" Upon hearing this, Wang Changdong was so excited he almost stood up!
The Wang family is a family that has been wielding swords for generations. The Wang family's Overlord Sword is famous throughout Julu City. If a member of the Wang family can join the Overlord Sword Sect, the Wang family will surely rise to prominence!
The Overlord Blade Sect is a sixth-grade sect!
Upon hearing the name "Overlord Blade Sect," everyone was deeply shocked, and the heads of several families were eager to make their move!
Only Su Yongquan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot!
