# Chapter 918: Slapping Faces
"Brother Hua, I see that you, Young Master Tianlin, and that other young man don't seem to be from the Qian Domain, do you?" Lin Feng looked into the young man's eyes and asked deliberately.
The young man smiled slightly, not denying it, and said frankly: "I am indeed not from the Qian Domain, but from a distant place."
"I think the place Brother Hua comes from must be more prosperous and powerful than the Qian Domain, otherwise it wouldn't have nurtured a genius like Brother Hua." Lin Feng's casual words caused the young man to reveal a faint, subtle smile, the air of nobility on his face seeming even stronger: "I am no genius. In our place, there are countless geniuses, many more powerful than me. If you have the chance, Brother Lin, you can come and see."
"Then I must first know where Brother Hua comes from, so I can have the opportunity to go and explore." Lin Feng said.
"Holy City Central Continent. Has Brother Lin heard of it?" The young man asked with a smile, causing Lin Feng's eyes to freeze. Holy City Central Continent, the central region of the Nine Heavens Continent, a place where countless powerful individuals gather.
"Of course I've heard of it. Brother Hua, are you from Holy City Central Continent?"
"It can be said that I am, and it can also be said that I am not." The young man smiled faintly and said no more. Although Lin Feng was curious, since the other party didn't want to say more, he didn't press further, but secretly pondered what "it can be said that I am, and it can also be said that I am not" actually meant.
As they spoke, the two had unknowingly arrived at the Wuyou Mountain region. Between three ancient peaks standing like a tripod, a vast sea of people had gathered, from the sky to the ground, countless in number.
The people who came were a mixed bag. Some were unruly and arrogant, with no regard for any rules, while others were purely there to watch the excitement and enjoy the grand spectacle of the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly. And also, whether this Ten Thousand Sects Assembly could truly rally thousands of sects to attack Heavenly Lake.
"Brother Hua, this Ten Thousand Sects Assembly was initiated by the three major powers: the Jade Heaven Royal Clan, the East Sea Dragon Palace, and the Divine Palace. But now that the Divine Palace has been destroyed by someone, who do you think should take the position of leader for this assembly? Crown Prince Duanmu of the Jade Heaven Royal Clan, or the Dragon Lord of the East Sea Dragon Palace?" Lin Feng asked tentatively. The young man surnamed Hua beside him had a special identity; perhaps he knew something.
"Perhaps, neither of them." The young man smiled faintly, causing Lin Feng to show an interested expression and ask: "Then who would it be?"
"Brother Lin will find out soon enough." The young man surnamed Hua kept it a secret, a faint smile on his lips, as if he already knew the inside story.
The crowd gathering in the Wuyou Mountain region grew larger and larger, truly a sea of people. Although the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly didn't have tens of thousands of sects participating, if you counted all the large and small sects, there were still over a thousand. Adding the many people who came out of admiration, there were nearly a million people in Wuyou Mountain at this moment. If they all took to the air, they would blot out the sun and darken the sky.
At this moment, in the void, several dazzling rays of light lit up, startling the crowd. They looked up into the void and saw three figures standing there. They were precisely the three initiators of this Ten Thousand Sects Assembly: the Dragon Lord of the East Sea Dragon Palace, Crown Prince Duanmu of the Jade Heaven Royal Clan, and Palace Lord Mieqing of the Divine Palace.
The three of them had extremely sharp gazes. Seeing them, many people felt quite excited. So strong! These three were the leaders of the hegemonic powers of the Qian Domain. Walking together, one could imagine the vast and mighty pressure they exuded. Just a single glance was enough to make one's heart tremble with fear. Of course, among the crowd below, there were some extremely powerful individuals who regarded the three in the void casually. These people included the Sect Leader of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, the Sect Leader of the Carefree Sect, and the Sect Master of the Fengdu Demon Sect. They had all come in person.
At this moment, Wuyou Mountain was truly a place where strong individuals gathered like clouds.
"We are extremely grateful that you all have accepted our invitation and come to this Ten Thousand Sects Assembly." The several of them spoke at the same time. Although they expressed gratitude, their calm eyes showed not a single ripple, making people feel a chill.
"We won't waste time on pleasantries. I believe that by today, you have all received a shocking piece of news." The Dragon Lord of the East Sea Dragon Palace looked at the endless crowd and said: "Heavenly Lake's methods are despicable beyond compare. Taking advantage of the time when Palace Lord Mieqing led his strong members out and was not in the Divine Palace, they mobilized all of Heavenly Lake's strong members to attack the Divine Palace. This is brutal and lawless, despicable to the extreme. Moreover, not long ago, the people of Heavenly Lake were murderous and lawless, causing the deaths of countless people in the Qian Domain. The disciples of Heavenly Lake were also extremely arrogant, harming many people. Even all those who went to the secret realm before have disappeared. We don't know what despicable methods Heavenly Lake used. If such a force exists in our Qian Domain for even a single day, the Qian Domain will never know peace."
The crowd remained silent. The vast space fell into absolute stillness. Everyone present understood their intentions. Attacking Heavenly Lake was to eliminate a force in the Qian Domain that could threaten them. Of course, there was also an extremely important reason: Lin Feng and the treasures of the secret realm.
"Ridiculous to the extreme." At this moment, a voice came from the silent space, so clear that it made everyone's eyes freeze. Someone actually dared to mock the Dragon Lord's words as ridiculous to the extreme in front of everyone. This was slapping the faces of the three strong individuals above. The Dragon Lord's position now represented not just himself.
Many people searched for the speaker, but the voice just now seemed to come from all directions, and they couldn't lock onto its source.
The gazes of the three figures in the void also became extremely sharp in an instant. Their terrifying eyes swept over the area below, but they found nothing. They couldn't even discover where the speaker was!
"If you have the guts, step forward and speak. Don't hide like a rat." The Dragon Lord coldly spat out a sentence.
"Since you are incompetent and cannot find me, don't make excuses." The voice sounded again, startling the crowd. The Dragon Lord in the void's gaze flashed with a terrifying sharpness as he looked at someone below. The person being stared at by the Dragon Lord trembled violently, his face turning pale as he kept shaking his head. The speaker, of course, could not be him.
"You rally the people of the Qian Domain, wanting to destroy Heavenly Lake. Should Heavenly Lake just sit back and wait for death? Destroying the Divine Palace can only be said to be the Divine Palace's incompetence. How can you call it Heavenly Lake's despicableness?"
Rolling sounds echoed from all directions, lasting for a long time. Palace Lord Mieqing of the Divine Palace's gaze turned extremely cold. He too was searching for the speaker, but he also couldn't find him.
"If you have the guts, step forward and speak." Palace Lord Mieqing said coldly.
"Step forward and speak, then wait for you to rally the power of ten thousand sects to kill me? If you are incompetent, then you are incompetent. Don't provoke me." The ethereal voice still came from all directions, shocking the crowd speechless. They didn't expect that someone would actually dare to cause trouble during the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly. Could it be someone from Heavenly Lake?
If someone from Heavenly Lake came to the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly and even dared to speak out in public, then that person had incredible courage and was also powerful enough that no one could find him.
Lin Feng's eyes flashed with sharpness. The speaker's voice was deliberately disguised, and he couldn't be sure if it was his teacher. But if it really was his teacher, then it seemed he had underestimated his teacher's strength.
His teacher dared to go alone into Heavenly Lake, killing countless strong individuals, including two Venerables. Upon hearing this news, Lin Feng was deeply shocked. He found that what he had seen before was only one side of his teacher. Snow Venerable, was he really just a low-key, mediocre old man?
The faces of the three in the void were all extremely ugly. Just as the Ten Thousand Sects Assembly began, someone came to cause trouble. These few words were like a heavy slap to their faces, leaving them speechless. And they had no way to fight back because they didn't know who to fight back against. They didn't even know who had slapped their faces.
"This person's soul power is very strong, and his understanding of the Heavenly Dao is very deep. His voice merges with heaven and earth, making it impossible to find him." The young man surnamed Hua's eyes flickered. He didn't expect that in this mere Qian Domain, he could witness such talent. It was quite impressive. The three in the void might have strong cultivation, but there was no way they could find the owner of the voice.
The divine senses of the three in the void swept over everyone. The Dragon Lord of the East Sea Dragon Palace said coldly again: "If you have the guts, don't hide."
But after he spoke, the other party fell silent. No one answered his words, as if the owner of the voice had left. The void instantly fell silent.
This made their faces even uglier. The other party was just toying with them.
PS: Damn, I woke up at five-something to make up for the update. So sleepy. The flowers yesterday didn't even reach a hundred. Can't afford it!
