Chapter 65 Attending the Banquet

  A group of elite disciples, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes, the two great geniuses, although they had just entered the Refining Realm, the power they displayed was already no worse than that of an ordinary mid-term Refining Realm martial artist.

  Time will tell, and the future is boundless!

  Such thoughts have flashed through everyone's mind!

  If they knew that Li Chen had not yet used the full strength of his second-order spiritual body, and hadn't even displayed his powerful aura, it could be said that half of his strength had not been revealed. Who knows what kind of thoughts they would have?

  Qiu Qianyi and Zhang Chulang exchanged a glance, both seeing the hidden killing intent in each other's eyes. Both of them had their own families and didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the sect.

  In her heart, she was even clearer that with Li Chen, they had already torn their faces apart and it would be absolutely impossible for them to make amends again.

  Unless the two of them swallow their pride and kneel down to beg for mercy, otherwise...

  How could they with their pride do such a thing?

  "Is showing off all there is to it?"

  Looking at Li Chen who was being stared at by the crowd, Chu Ziyan's face flashed a look of displeasure before she coldly turned around and went back into the courtyard.

  Although she didn't have a good impression of Yang Haotian, Li Chen's duel with him here completely disregarded her feelings, especially on an occasion like today.

  Don't look at her scolding like this, if it were someone else, they would probably hold a grudge directly.

  "Li Shidi, you...... Ah!"

  Pang Wenshan squeezed through the crowd and grabbed Li Chen, letting out a sigh without saying much.

  He has also come to terms with it now, the gap between him and Chu Zi Yun, but he doesn't want the camaraderie that a few people had when they fought against the wolf pack together to disperse just like that.

  "Hehe, Chu Shijie wouldn't be so petty!"

  Li Chen returned to his shy and awkward youth, scratched his head, and scenes from that night flashed through his mind.

  "Look who's here!"

  Pang Wenshan could only sigh and attribute it to Li Chen's youthful vigor, seeing that they couldn't stay here any longer, he pulled him away along with several others.

  The crowd saw that there was no more excitement to watch, and one by one they were extremely excited, two by two, three by three, walking together towards the distance.

  In the courtyard, there are only elite disciples of the previous generation and newly promoted geniuses of the sect. Moreover, the courtyard is so small that it can't accommodate so many people at all.

  Dada dada!

  Xuanyun Sect, eight hundred miles west, near the edge of the ancient Cangshan mountain range, outside Luohuang City, a dozen strong horses set off in a cloud of dust, galloping swiftly forward.

  "Li Shidi, this time when you arrive at Luoyang City, you must come visit me at the Zhao residence!"

  A middle-aged man wearing black clothes smiled and said.

  "Not bad, since we're back in Luoyang City, Brother Li should also come visit my Liu family for a bit!"

  Another middle-aged man in white clothes also extended an invitation.

  They were two of the strongest members of one of the three major families in Luoyi City: Zhao Qingfeng and Liu Chengshu.

  This time it was with Li Chen to Luoyang City to attend Li Kunfeng's 70th birthday banquet.

  In Luohuang City, the Li family was able to suppress the other two families because of the presence of their old master, Li Kunfeng. After all, the Li family still had a cultivator in the Refining Realm, Li Yueqing.

  "You two brothers are too polite, I will definitely go to disturb you at that time!"

  Li Chen nodded awkwardly on horseback, his heart had long since flown off somewhere.

  Luo Huang City, as far as he knew, was not originally called that name. More than a decade ago, a sudden disaster destroyed nearly half of the city, and it was renamed after a giant phoenix appeared in the sky at that time.

  The old masters of the Zhao and Liu families died in that disaster.

  According to his grandfather Lao Li's words, it was on that morning when he picked up the shiny Lei Chen.

  In the blink of an eye, a decade or so had passed. Li Chen was no longer the medicinal slave who was beaten and scolded by anyone back then. In the blink of an eye, he had become a strong warrior in the Refining Realm, someone even Li Kunfeng would have to treat with respect.

  It has to be said, things in life are unpredictable!

  Among several inner disciples including Pang Wenshan, Liu Ziqing and Zhao Shanshan assisted on the side, no matter what, they wanted Li Chen to go to both families for a drink.

  As a newly emerging genius in the sect, no matter what their previous identity was, they would all be won over by the family for emotional and rational reasons.

  Everyone was chatting on horseback and soon arrived at the gate of Luohuang City, slowing down their horses.

  Most of these people were from Luoyang City and were extremely familiar with the roads here, so it didn't take long to arrive at the Li family gate.

  At this time, the Li family's gate was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and many guests came and went, some bringing gifts and others offering congratulations, making it a lively scene.

  What a coincidence! The person guarding the door was none other than Li Feng, who had blocked Lei Chen's way that day.

  "Quickly, someone is coming to make trouble, go and inform the guard squad!"

  Seeing Li Chen leading a team of people coming over, they thought it was to seek revenge and immediately shouted.

  Whoa!

  A crowd of guests walking in, along with onlookers from a distance, were all shocked. Who was so bold as to pick a quarrel at this critical moment?

  There were also sharp-eyed people who saw the two middle-aged men on horseback and recognized them as strongmen from the Zhao and Liu families.

  Although they have been in Xuanyun Sect for many years, they return to the city several times a year to take care of their family business and intimidate the local villains, so there are also many people who recognize them.

  "What a commotion you're making! Even Old Man Zhao and Old Man Liu don't recognize you, get out of here and take fifty lashes!"

  Li Mingfeng, who was managing gifts at the door, was slapped in the face and kicked back inside.

  Tragic Li Feng, was carried away by two guards with a thud, and went to receive his punishment.

  "Please don't blame me, Elders Zhao and Liu. My subordinate didn't recognize you two at first glance. Please come in!"

  Li Mingfeng smiled and nodded at the two of them.

  Someone hastily came out and led away the horses of the crowd.

  "Haha!"

  The two nodded ambiguously and followed a servant into the mansion.

  As for the gifts, they had already been fully prepared and sent by both families. They came this time just to show their faces and happened to be traveling with Li Chen at the same time.

  "Look, isn't that Li Chen's ugly eight?"

  "Have you gone blind? Does that little scoundrel Lei Chen still dare to come to our manor?"

  "Look quickly, it's that young man with a monkey on his shoulder!"

  "How is it possible? Li Chen is as thin and small as a dried-up monkey, while that person is so tall?"

  "It's him, even if he grew taller, I can still recognize him even if he turns into ashes!"

  From time to time, the whispers of the servants could be heard, pointing and gesturing, Li Chen subconsciously touched the golden hairpin on his shoulder, two small paws scratching his hair, making him look even more disheveled.

  Everyone who followed him knew his past and saw that he showed no signs of anger, so they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  They were afraid of being exposed, and Li Chen angrily beat them up.

  It's clear that their worries were unnecessary.

  For such rumors, Li Chen had seen many of them. Moreover, as his cultivation grew and his vision broadened, he didn't even have enough time to practice diligently every day, let alone waste time getting angry?

  "Haha, Qingfeng, Chengshu, you've finally arrived!"

  Nearby, Li Jia's current head of household, Li Jueming, walked up with a big smile.

  Although he is of the same generation as Zhao and Liu, and his age is similar to theirs, his qualifications are not as good as those of the two. So far, he has not broken through the Refining Truth Realm, but fortunately, he has several daughters who can make him proud, among whom Li Yueqing has already broken through to the Refining Truth Realm early on, making him proud and relieved.
