Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 124: Aura Battle
When Chen Mu heard Niu Dali's question, he shook his head and smiled without saying a word. He just reached out and picked up a piece of meat and tasted it.

As soon as he took a bite, he felt the difference of the meat. Not only was it extremely soft and tender, and melted in the mouth, but the spiritual energy contained in the meat alone made his eyes light up and his mouth water.

"This tray of spirit energy is no less than that of a top-grade medicinal pill..." He turned to look at the front of the hall, where the black-robed disciples were still entering with trays, and thought to himself, "What a lavish effort from the Beastmaster Sect!"

Niu Dali, after tasting the food, also realized that the meat was extraordinary. He quickly picked up another piece to confirm it. Then he turned his head to look at the people in Shuiyunjian and whispered, "Brothers, this is really good stuff. It would be a waste if we don't eat it. Let's use more of it!"

Everyone smiled, but no one pointed or criticized. Only Taoist Zhang, who was sitting in the front row, coughed lightly, as if reminding them not to be too frivolous and lose the dignity of the sect.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, are all your sect's disciples so disregardful of the occasion just to gain a small profit?"

A shrill laugh suddenly rang out from the side hall. It was Mr. E, who was sitting opposite Shuiyunjian. He had been glancing at Shuiyun intentionally or unintentionally and noticed what happened.

Chen Mu and the others paused, cursed the old bastard in their hearts, and looked up at Zhang Laodao.

Although they had several ways to respond to Mr. E, after all, they were at different levels of cultivation and had different identities, so they could not speak rashly, otherwise it would cause more trouble, so they could only rely on Taoist Zhang to reply.

For a moment, the side hall fell silent, and everyone turned to watch the excitement of the Jinguang and Shuiyun sects.

After a moment, Zhang Laodao's expression remained unchanged as he replied loudly, "Fellow Daoist E, I beg to differ... The Beastmaster Sect has shown such gracious hospitality, why should we feign nobility and betray their kindness?"

Mr. E's face darkened, and he was about to retort after thinking for a while, but was interrupted by a loud laugh from the side.

"Hahaha... That's right, cultivators of our generation should act according to our own will. If we follow the rules for everything, it will lose the fun." It was the male cultivator named Xiao from the Wenjian Pavilion who laughed out loud. It seemed that he agreed very much with what Zhang Laodao said, pretending to be aloof.

Everyone in the hall was startled. They really didn't expect that Wenjian Pavilion, which had no relationship with Shuiyunjian, would speak up for them.

Only the Sword-Asking Pavilion disciples behind the male cultivator surnamed Xiao were not surprised. Their uncle highly advocated the state of following one's heart and mind, and had been reprimanded several times by the Grandmaster for being too casual within the sect...

Upon hearing this, Mr. E's face turned a little ugly. He had obtained the approval of his master when he suggested causing trouble for Shuiyunjian. After all, there was a deep feud between their two sects.

But if he encountered the Sword-Asking Pavilion, he would not dare to offend them too much, so as not to make a powerful enemy for his sect.

When Zhang Laodao saw this, a smile appeared on his face. He immediately raised his glass to the male cultivator named Xiao from a distance and drank it all in one gulp.

Just when everyone thought this little incident was about to pass, the square-faced Foundation Establishment cultivator from Purple Maple Forest suddenly spoke up, "Acting on impulse is a boastful phrase used by casual cultivators. Fellow Daoist Xiao, as the Master of the Green Bamboo Sword of the Sword-Asking Pavilion, if he acts like that casual cultivator, without scruples... I'm afraid one day he'll bring disaster upon the Sword-Asking Pavilion."

The voice was extremely sincere. If one ignored the amusement in the square-faced man's eyes, everyone would have thought that this person had good intentions for Wenjian Pavilion.

"Heh..." The male cultivator surnamed Xiao chuckled and replied lightly, "I don't need any advice from Fellow Daoist Liu on how to act."

Before he could finish his words, the male cultivator surnamed Xiao narrowed his eyes and spoke word by word, "Similarly, it is not Zi Fenglin's turn to interfere when I ask about matters in the Sword Pavilion!"

Once a word is spoken, the sharpness is revealed.

The spiritual sword behind the male cultivator named Xiao shook slightly, and a tangible spiritual aura emerged, immediately pressing towards the square-faced man.

The square-faced man naturally wouldn't let him manipulate him. He clenched his right fist and lightly tapped the wine table in front of him. From behind him, the shadow of an ancient purple maple tree suddenly rose up, meeting the spiritual sword aura of the male cultivator surnamed Xiao and challenging him. Chen Mu's heart was pounding. This was his first time observing a battle between Foundation Establishment cultivators at such close range. Although it was only a slight clash of auras, it still made him sigh with admiration.

"This male Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Sword-Asking Pavilion is truly just as he said, acting on impulse..."

E Weng's face lit up with joy, although he also knew that Zi Fenglin's criticism of Wenjian Pavilion was not really intended to help Jin Guang Valley, but after all, from the surface, it was indeed the case, which gave him a way out.

"All right……"

With a soft whisper, She Chengyue, who was sitting above, suddenly pointed his fingers in the air towards the place where the two were fighting.

The next moment, a light breeze echoed in the hall and transformed into a lifelike colorful tiger, roaring and rushing forward.

In an instant, the spiritual sword's aura and Zi Feng's shadow seemed to be driven away by a tiger. After a mournful howl, they slowly dissipated.

The male cultivator surnamed Xiao and the square-faced man both turned pale and looked towards She Chengyue above, with a hint of shock in the depths of their eyes.

"You have all come from afar, and we will have to fight together for a while. We must not rush for a momentary victory... I ask you two to put the overall situation first."

She Chengyue spoke slowly, as if he was not the one who attacked.

After a moment, the male cultivator named Xiao and the square-faced man did not say anything. They just bowed to She Chengyue, indicating that they agreed with what he said.

The five sects were all involved in this incident, but only the female cultivators from Yuehua Mountain remained silent...

As for Xin Cang, who had also been silent for a long time, his eyes flashed when he saw this, and when She Chengyue nodded, he laughed out loud.

"Hahaha... Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Liu, when you came here, you and I made an appointment to have a drink together. But I've been waiting until now, and you haven't come looking for me. Could it be that you two have forgotten? That won't do. If you don't come looking for me, I'll still have to find you to drink together!"

After saying that, Xin Cang raised his wine cup and went to find the male cultivator named Xiao and the square-faced man.

And they didn't refuse, and took advantage of Xin Cang's persuasion to drink and didn't mention what happened just now.

For a moment, in this spacious side hall illuminated by candlelight, everyone was toasting each other, enjoying themselves. Some lowered their heads to savor their food, while others raised their cups to find someone to drink with. There were even a few young cultivators who loved socializing and ran over to the wine tables of other sect disciples to start a lively conversation...

The moonlight grows brighter, and spiritual energy pours forth.

After three rounds of drinking, She Chengyue reached out to stop the whispers of the crowd below and said loudly: "I believe you have all heard about this demon disaster."

"Here it comes..." Chen Mu's heart moved and he thought to himself.

She Chengyue continued, "Half a month ago, a roar from the depths of the mountains was heard from the black-skinned snake demon. My uncle Han, having been so devastated by the previous demonic infestation, didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately explored the depths of the mountains..."
