Chapter 583: Bring a Few Jugs of Wine
On the ninth floor of the Heavenly Walk Palace, when Lin Feng and the other two stepped onto it, there were only ten people present.
Seven were from the Dragon Mountain Empire: Jun Moxi, Tang Youyou, Qing Mengxin, Jian Chen, the Dark Left Hand Cui Wuming, and the other two were the most renowned figures besides those five—the Blood Droplet Leng Xue and the Overlord Spear Di Long.
Leng Xue, true to his name, was cold-blooded and ruthless. He wielded a blood sword across the world, drawing blood with every strike and killing countless people, earning him the title Blood Droplet. He ranked sixth in the Dragon Mountain Empire.
Di Long wielded an Overlord Spear with sweeping force; once he struck, he never stopped, each thrust claiming lives with overwhelming dominance.
As for the other three, two were from the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, and only one was from the Snow Moon Kingdom.
The two from the Heavenly Wind Kingdom were the First Envoy Nie Yun and the current Second Envoy Yang Fan.
The sole person from the Snow Moon Kingdom was Yue Tianming. Together with the invited Yun Feiyang, that made two.
Yue Tianming’s invitation was expected by the crowd. Since Duan Wudao had not come to the Dragon Mountain Empire, the Snow Moon side seemed strongest with Yue Tianming, the Second Young Master, so he naturally belonged here.
However, Yun Feiyang’s appearance surprised everyone. Previously, no one had even heard of his name. Yun Feiyang seemed like an unknown figure who had only recently gained some fame in Snow Moon, being listed among the new Eight Young Masters.
What truly made the crowd recognize Yun Feiyang was his recent battle, where he borrowed the momentum of heaven and earth and sent a Fifth Layer of Profound Martial Realm cultivator flying with a single punch.
Yet, Yun Feiyang’s cultivation was still too weak. Everyone here was at the Sixth Layer of Profound Martial Realm or stronger, with Yun Feiyang being the only one at the Fourth Layer.
Moreover, what left the crowd speechless was that Yun Feiyang had already made them wait for a while, and now he had brought two more people—Lin Feng and his sister Xiao Ya.
What did Yun Feiyang take the Tang family’s Heavenly Walk Palace for?
“Sorry, I’m a bit late.”
Yun Feiyang smiled apologetically at the crowd, appearing especially carefree.
“Lin Feng, everyone already knows him. Lin and I hit it off well and are now friends, so I invited him along. I hope Miss Tang won’t mind.”
Yun Feiyang then apologized to Tang Youyou. Tang Youyou nodded slightly without saying much. Since he had already invited someone, she couldn’t drive Lin Feng away. Besides, she was quite curious about Lin Feng.
Nowadays, even in the entire Dragon Mountain Empire, few people practiced body refinement techniques. The powerful ancient body refinement methods from the distant past had been lost, and the remaining techniques couldn’t reach high realms. They were too easily constrained and exhausted. Once the physical body reached a certain level, you couldn’t find a better technique to replace it, making further progress impossible.
For these reasons, fewer and fewer people practiced body refinement. Lin Feng was undoubtedly an anomaly.
Still, Tang Youyou had to admit that Lin Feng’s physical strength was indeed formidable. If they didn’t use true essence and only competed in physical strength, few among those present would be Lin Feng’s match. Of course, who would be foolish enough to set aside their true essence and fight Lin Feng purely with their bodies?
Among those present, most were at the Sixth Layer of Profound Martial Realm or above. Using powerful martial techniques and divine abilities, their destructive force could easily obliterate the physical bodies of those at the Fifth or even Sixth Layer. The stronger ones here, using their most powerful attacks, could destroy the bodies of those at the Seventh or Eighth Layer. Lin Feng’s physical body was only around the Fifth Layer, so he couldn’t cause much trouble.
Thus, although Lin Feng had caused quite a stir on the battle stage, it wasn’t enough for these people to take him seriously. What they truly valued was strength.
“Please, sit.”
Tang Youyou gestured, and the three of them took their seats.
“Miss Tang is a favored daughter of heaven and magnanimous, but I can’t stand some people’s behavior.”
At that moment, Di Long coldly glanced at Yun Feiyang and said indifferently, “Yun Feiyang, Miss Tang invited you, which is already a great honor. Here, you are the weakest, so you should feel honored. But you arrived the latest and even brought two people. Do you think the people you brought are qualified to be on the ninth floor of the Heavenly Walk Palace?”
Yun Feiyang didn’t get angry at his words. With a faint smile, he looked at Di Long and asked, “Are you the host here, or is Miss Tang?”
Hearing Yun Feiyang’s defiant tone, Di Long’s gaze froze, and a trace of coldness appeared on his face. This Yun Feiyang had quite the nerve. Did he think that winning one match on the battle platform made him impressive?
“You say Brother Lin isn’t qualified to be on the ninth floor, but that’s just your personal opinion. I was honored to be invited by Miss Tang, which is why I brought Brother Lin along. If Miss Tang thinks I or Brother Lin don’t belong here, I’ll leave immediately. I, Yun Feiyang, am not so desperate as to beg for a drink, even if it’s nectar. As for you, you’re also a guest. Don’t you think you’re overstepping your role as a host?”
Yun Feiyang said calmly, his eyes always smiling, unflustered, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.
He was invited; he hadn’t shamelessly begged to come for a drink. Why should he grovel?
Back in the Snow Moon Kingdom, Lin Feng could already kill those at the Sixth Layer of Profound Martial Realm. Some time had passed since then, and even if his cultivation hadn’t advanced, it should be more stable. How could he not be qualified to sit here?
“Hmph.” Di Long, rebuked by Yun Feiyang, turned cold. In the martial world, strength reigned supreme. In his eyes, Yun Feiyang’s cultivation was inferior to his, so Yun Feiyang should defer to him. But Yun Feiyang dared to show such disrespect—what audacity.
“Then let me ask you this: his aura is so weak, not even reaching the Profound Martial Realm, relying only on brute strength and some speed. What qualifies him to sit here?” Di Long said coldly, his tone full of interrogation, his sharp gaze fixed on Yun Feiyang like a piercing spear, an invisible pressure bearing down on him.
“What qualifies him? Do I need to explain that to you? Who do you think you are?”
Feeling the pressure of this invisible force, Yun Feiyang’s expression also turned cold. No matter how good his temper was, he couldn’t withstand Di Long’s repeated provocations.
“Who do you think you are?”
As these words fell, the entire private room on the ninth floor fell into an eerie silence. The others sat calmly in their seats, watching the drama with some surprise. This Yun Feiyang had quite the courage, standing up to the Overlord Spear Di Long without backing down an inch. At least in terms of momentum, he didn’t lose to Di Long.
“Who am I? Do you want to try my spear, or should the two of you come at me together?”
Di Long stood up and said coldly. Among the young talents of the Dragon Mountain Empire present, he ranked last, which already made him feel humiliated. Now, being provoked by Yun Feiyang, he couldn’t contain himself. If Yun Feiyang wanted to die, he would use him to vent his anger.
“Both of us together?”
Yun Feiyang sneered and glanced at Lin Feng. At that moment, Lin Feng was drinking wine. Setting down his jade cup, Lin Feng looked at Tang Youyou. On his slightly sallow face, there was still a bright smile, giving off a warm feeling.
“Miss Tang, I’m not quite used to this nectar. Could you bring a few jugs of Blazing Essence Wine for us to savor?”
Lin Feng said slowly, surprising Tang Youyou. Did Lin Feng even know about Blazing Essence Wine?
Moreover, the wine in Lin Feng’s cup was far better than Blazing Essence Wine. He said he wasn’t used to it, which struck her as strange.
“Brother Lin has quite the refined taste. Then I’ll also ask Miss Tang for a few cups of Blazing Essence Wine to drink.” Yun Feiyang said boldly. Compared to before he disappeared, Lin Feng seemed much calmer. If it were the old Lin Feng, Di Long’s verbal insults might have already provoked him to act.
But now, Lin Feng was still in the mood to think about wine.
“Brother, how about I have a jug too?”
Xiao Ya blinked her eyes, making Lin Feng pinch her cheek and say, “You can drink what’s on your table.”
“Oh.” Xiao Ya stuck out her tongue.
Tang Youyou watched the three with interest. Very amusing. As for the wine, she naturally had plenty.
“Bring a few jugs of Blazing Essence Wine.” Tang Youyou said into the air. Then, on the table in front of her, a hidden compartment opened, and two fiery-red wine jugs appeared directly there.
