World version update

Chapter 180 Let’s play music and dance!
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day when the Li family hosted guests from all over the world.

On the main streets of Luo City, the Li family set up banquets to entertain the people of the city. True martial artists who came from all over the world sat at the same table with ordinary local residents. Everywhere was filled with the atmosphere of toasting and the atmosphere was very lively.

Of course, the premise is to ignore the strange appearance of the true martial artists and the fact that most of the residents of Los Angeles have Taoist blood and strange limbs.

If viewed from the perspective of ordinary people in other versions, this is simply a demon feast that swept the entire city, and the wine and food at the banquet would automatically be imagined as human blood delicacies.

Amidst the celebration, the Li family mansion, which was the core of the incident, took on an indescribable weirdness.

Under the scorching sun, the entire Li family mansion was magnificent and the jade decorations on the eaves were sparkling.

Around the courtyard, hair-thin demonic energy condensed into a dense light net, emitting colorful streams of light in the sunlight, covering the entire banquet venue.

Every ray of light contains a powerful force of prohibition, perfectly isolating this place from the aura outside the mansion.

Inside the central hall of the mansion, various forces sat in their respective rooms, admiring the graceful dance moves of the dancers in the hall.

The sunlight streamed in through the carved window frames, but became strangely distorted when it touched certain guests.

The true martial artist from the Yunshan Qing family was dressed in a frosty white robe. Every move he made brought with him a wisp of cold air, freezing the warmth around him into ice.

The direct descendant of the Bohai Ye family was dressed in luxurious brocade clothes and had a handsome face. Only the flash of blood-red pupils when he raised the glass revealed his true appearance.

In addition, representatives from the Tianhe Feng family, the Shangyuan Ma family and nine other thousand-year-old families sat in the hall.

In the corner, several guests with strange appearances were chatting and laughing with others, but their shadows became darker and darker under the scorching sun, like a bottomless abyss. The bright sunlight shone on them, but it revealed a strange darkness.

Everyone looked towards the empty seat at the top, with an unspeakable mockery in their eyes.

Qing Fengyang, the representative of the Yunshan Qing family, glanced at the sun that had risen to the center of the sky, played with the folding fan in his hand with his slender fingers, and said nonchalantly:

"Everyone from the Li family, the auspicious time has arrived, why hasn't the head of the Li family arrived yet?"

Li Kuang, the second elder of the Li family, who is in the Demon Realm, saw this and said respectfully with a solemn expression:

"The master must be dealing with something urgent."

Another Li family elder in the Demonic Realm, Li Qie, also smiled and said:
"I didn't expect that the head of the family would not be present at such an important moment. This made Young Master Qing laugh."

It’s no wonder that the elders of the Li family are so fawning, it’s really because Qing Fengyang has an extraordinary background.

Qing Fengyang, as the representative of the Qing family, is also a powerful demon realm expert.

The reason why he was able to advance to the Moluo realm was very simple. An old ancestor of the Qing family who was in the Nether Abyss realm was about to die, so he gave up part of his path in advance. Qing Fengyang was one of the inheritors of that old ancestor in the Nether Abyss realm.

As long as Qing Fengyang can fight his way out of the encirclement of other Qing family members who are also inheritors, he will have the hope of inheriting the great path left vacant by the Qing family ancestor and be promoted to the Netherworld Realm.

With such a status, he is still considered the top one even in this banquet.

Ye Qi, the representative of the Bohai Ye family, is an ordinary person, but behind him follows a taciturn old man, who is also a powerful man in the Demon Realm.

Ye Qi looked at the vacant seat with his scarlet eyes and a sneer appeared on his face.

Almost all the forces present had anticipated Li Hao's absence.

The story of the fake messenger from the underworld had been spreading for a whole month. If Li Hao really had connection with the ghosts and gods in the underworld, he would have reacted long ago.

Now it seems that things are just as the major families guessed at the beginning, and the underworld has long left this world.

The so-called ghost and god Li family is nothing more than a stray dog ​​that has lost its master.

Li Hao's final struggle was to not show up at the banquet, hoping to deny his identity as a fake envoy with this attitude.

But to the various families, such a move is meaningless.

Ye Qi smiled softly and said in a cold tone:

"In that case, please invite our honorable messenger from the underworld up!"

"Although Patriarch Li has neglected us, we cannot neglect the messenger from the underworld."

"Hurry up and get ready. Bring up the messenger from the underworld."

Representatives of other thousand-year-old families responded, and orders were transmitted outside the hall.

A moment later, a young man walked slowly into the hall under the guidance of an elder from the Li family.

The handsome young man was wearing a black gown with golden patterns on it, which made him look luxurious and extraordinary, but his temperament could not support the gown at all.

He tried hard to appear calm and composed, but his eyes unconsciously avoided the representatives of various forces present. The change in his identity could not hide his guilty conscience.

Be crowned by the monkey!

The same words came to everyone's mind, making them smile sarcastically.

No one realized that they almost instinctively ignored the power of the underworld that dominated the world half a year ago. All that was left was Li Hao's retreat and the fake messenger in disguise before them.

"Pfft!"

Someone in the crowd chuckled.

But when Qing Fengyang turned his gaze to him, his smile immediately stopped.

"I've met you all!"

The fake envoy in the center of the hall bowed and saluted to the representatives of the thousand-year-old families. Some of them bowed back as if they were acting, while others looked indifferent as if nothing happened, and some even did not hide the mockery on their faces.

"Since you are the messenger from the underworld, you should be given the seat of honor!"

Although Qing Fengyang was sitting in a lower seat, he seemed to be the master of this hall, issuing orders on behalf of the Li family.

Hearing Qing Fengyang's words, Li Sheng, the third elder of the Li family who led the fake envoy into the hall, hurriedly guided the fake envoy to the entrance of the hall.

There was only a small desk there, which was more like a guard at the door than a location.

The fake envoy did not feel anything wrong and was about to sit down. At this moment, a stern voice sounded in the hall.

"Wait!"

It was like a bolt from the blue. The dozen or so powerful Demon Realm warriors gathered in the hall were startled in their hearts. Qing Fengyang even looked outside the hall with fear.

The person who appeared in front of everyone was Li Hao, the head of the Li family.

The pressure from the peak of the Demon Realm was lingering, causing many powerful people present to look at Li Hao with fear in their eyes.

Only Qing Fengyang chuckled and said gently:
"Master Li, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

"The head of the family has not arrived yet. We are worried that we will miss the time, so we can only let the messenger from the underworld enter the hall first. I hope that head of the Li family will not be offended."

"Messenger from the underworld?" Li Hao swept his majestic eyes across the hall and said in a cold voice:
"What nonsense! Where did this messenger from the underworld come from?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all parties in the hall suddenly turned cold, and even Qing Fengyang, who had a gentle expression just a moment ago, turned cold.

“The messenger from the underworld has arrived. This is the news that your Li family took the initiative to spread.

There are no messengers from the underworld right now. Are you, the Li family, spreading rumors and causing trouble in the name of the underworld? Or are you just fooling our noble families?"

As soon as these words came out, all parties responded:
"What does Patriarch Li mean by this?"

"Forging rumors about the underworld and deceiving the major families, what exactly is Patriarch Li trying to do?"

"What ghosts and gods are the Li family? They are just stupid creatures using the name of the underworld."

"I'm afraid that Master Li will give us an explanation for what happened today!"

As they spoke, the three Li family elders in the hall, along with the so-called fake envoy, were completely ignored.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Hao, waiting for his next words.

"Explain?" Li Hao glanced at the representatives of various families with disdain and sneered:

“The real messenger from the underworld has not even entered the palace yet, and you are all so eager to put a big hat on me. This is really too greedy.

However, the damage to my reputation is a minor matter. If you neglect the real messenger from the underworld and cause the ghosts and gods of the underworld to be angry, I am afraid that the families behind you will not be qualified to report to the underworld!"

After the words fell, Li Hao restrained his expression and stepped aside, while saying respectfully:
"Please invite the messenger from the underworld into the palace!"

Only then did everyone notice that there was someone behind Li Hao.

A young man in a black robe fluttered in the wind, with dark patterns on it flowing like a swimming dragon. In his hand he held an ancient soul banner, the lines on which outlined an extremely vast continent, and in the subtle details it seemed as if there were ghosts and spirits flowing.

There was a transcendental bearing between the young man's brows, his dark eyes were as deep as the abyss, there was a faint aura lingering around him, and his every move revealed his extraordinary demeanor.

The moment he appeared, a heavy pressure that seemed to penetrate into the soul suddenly descended upon everyone's heart.

Everyone followed the line of sight and discovered that the heavy pressure came from the soul flag.

Someone couldn't help but look at the Soul Banner, and suddenly his pupils shrank, as if he had discovered something extremely terrifying.

"I have seen the continent above this banner when the Lord of the Underworld appeared!"

The whole hall was in uproar.

In everyone's mind, there emerged an image of a vast continent that seemed to loom over the entire demon world, and an incomparable sense of oppression once again came to their mind.

The pressure from this soul flag is not even one billionth of the pressure when the Lord of the Underworld appears in the world, but it is enough to make the many powerful Demon Realm warriors present excited.

Lu Yan, holding the soul flag in his hand, strode into the hall. The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing. Everyone looked solemn and didn't even dare to breathe.

But Lu Yan's gaze immediately fell on the corner of the door, where the fake messenger and Li Sheng, the third elder of the Li family, were standing.

He calmly looked at the trembling fake messenger and the Third Elder who was trying to show a flattering smile, and slowly raised the soul flag in his hand.

"Take this banner, and you can become the messenger of the underworld!"

The fake messenger looked terrified and didn't dare to say a word.

Then, the soul flag in Lu Yan's hand slowly fell towards the fake messenger. In an instant, everyone seemed to sense that an endless continent was falling towards the hall, and a suffocating feeling in the soul accompanied the fall of the soul flag.

With every drop of the soul flag, the heavy feeling of oppression increased several times.

Even the powerful warriors in the Demon Realm felt great pressure when facing such terrifying pressure. Their original human appearance faded away, and the original alienated Taoist bodies of the True Law warriors were revealed. The warriors in the Soul Burial Realm in the hall had already revealed the true meaning of the Great Dao very early, and they barely got a chance to breathe.

Just as the soul flag was about to fall in front of the fake messenger, Lu Yan paused.

"Boring."

A soft whisper sounded, and Lu Yan took back the soul flag in his hand and strode to the first seat.

"Pfft!"

"Oh!"

There were two sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Everyone then realized that the fake messenger who was standing at the door had fallen to the ground. This true martial artist in the Soul Burial Realm had died here silently before he could even touch the Soul Flag.

But what was even more shocking was that Li Sheng, the third elder of the Li family, also fell together with the fake messenger.

The elder standing next to the fake messenger was also unable to withstand the pressure of the soul flag. He was shattered before he could even display the true meaning of the Dao.

A strong man in the Demon Realm is not even qualified to face the Soul Banner directly.

There was a dead silence in the hall, only Lu Yan stepped onto the steps and sat down at the first seat.

Looking down at the various forces present, Lu Yan said calmly:
"Keep playing music, keep dancing!"
