Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 544: Conflict with Confucians
Everyone turned their heads and looked into the distance, only to see the wind blowing and the clouds moving in the sky, and the glittering light extending into the distance.

Not long after, two figures came walking on the clouds and descended slowly and gracefully, which made the followers and clansmen in the outer hall stunned for a moment.

The people in the inner hall were not much better off. They all had different expressions and were speechless for a moment. Only Tan Taiming, who had been scolded, had a gloomy face and said in a cold voice: "Hua Meimei, are you wrong? People like you..."

But before he could finish his words, Hua Meimei interrupted him with a wave of her hand.

"Wrong, of course it's totally wrong. Your sister loves me to death, so how can it be considered that I have evil intentions?"

Hua Meimei refuted a few times with righteous words, then ignored Tan Taiming, whose expression became increasingly gloomy, and turned to Hu Meir and said:

"Sister Hu, this banquet you've organized is not very appropriate. You invited all the geniuses from the demon tribe, but why did you leave out Master Hua?"

Hu Meir was suddenly called out. She was stunned for a moment before forcing a smile and replied, "Brother Hua, you're wrong. Didn't Xuanzhengshan receive the invitation?"

"Got it. What Mr. Hua wants to know is why your name is not on the invitation!"

Hua Meimei was unyielding and walked in front of everyone in a loud voice.

Hu Meir paused for a moment, not knowing how to save the situation.

Do I have to tell the truth?

They said you were lingering in the East China Sea instead of Southern Xinjiang, and that this banquet was just to help Ao Chun plan for your family's quota?

How is that possible? She might dare to offend others openly, but Hua Meimei is different.

He has no taboos. If you offend him, you won't be able to live in peace for at least a few years...

Seeing that she couldn't speak, Hua Meimei didn't stop moving. He turned to Bi Shuangfeng again, pointed at her head and scolded:
"And you, green-eyed deer, when did I, Hua Ye, ever have any grudge against you? Why are you kicking me when I'm down like this? Or do you think you're upset with me and want to pick a fight with me?"

Bi Shuangfeng was scolded to the point of being drenched in anger. The taciturn man was shaking with anger. Suddenly, he slammed the table and stood up, gritting his teeth and saying, "Okay, then I'll fight you!"

"stop!"

Seeing that he was really about to come up to fight, Hua Meimei's eyes turned and she shouted to stop him, "It's not your turn yet!"

"Jin Yuantong, you're the most shameless subordinate at the banquet. A rat carrying a big gun will only show off its power in its own den! Why don't you dare to plan for the quota of Jiusheng Mountain and Juding Mountain..."

Hua Meimei cursed so hard that she put her hands on her hips and waved, looking like she was "debating with a group of scholars"!

Chen Mu watched from behind, secretly smacking his lips in amazement. No wonder Hua Meimei claimed that she was unpopular in Southern Xinjiang. After seeing her today, he didn't think there was anything strange about it...

"Oh!"

There was a loud bang, and it was Jin Yuantong who slammed the table and stood up, his handsome face distorted.

"Hua Meimei, stop showing off and taking advantage of your position. If you have the guts, challenge me to a fight and see if I'm worthy enough to take your place!"

After saying this, he pointed at Chen Mu with a look of surprise on his face, and said suddenly, "And there's this Northern Plains cultivator behind you! I was wondering why you stopped me for no reason back then. It turns out you've been colluding with the Northern Plains cultivators for a long time!"

As soon as these words were spoken, except for Ao Chun, the other demon cultivators all frowned and looked at Chen Mu carefully.

One of the nine great demon tribes in Southern Xinjiang is aligning with the cultivators of a major Northern Plains sect. It's hard to guarantee they won't become suspicious...

Seeing this, Hua Meimei flew into a rage and shouted, "Bullshit! Stop spitting insults at me. Fellow Daoist Chen was invited by Master Hua to help with the battle against the Demon Court. What does this have to do with you?"

"what!"

As soon as the words fell, the demon cultivators' eyes widened, and they turned to Hua Meimei in disbelief. Even Yuan Qi of the Nine Sacred Mountains, who had remained silent until then, frowned and said, "Hua Meimei, don't you know the rules of our demon court? No human cultivators are allowed to enter."

Hua Meimei chuckled twice, pointed at Tan Tai Ming and said, "No cultivators are allowed to enter, so what's the matter with this bastard?"

"Oh!"

Tan Tai Ming slammed the table and stood up again: "You bully me time and time again, don't you think I'm afraid of you?"

Hua Meimei curled her lips and ignored him.

Jin Yuantong seized the opportunity and said urgently, "The Tantai clan and the Southern Border demon tribe have shared weal and woe for nearly four thousand years. How can they be compared to the Northern Plains cultivators? Hua Meimei, by making such a comparison, doesn't she realize that the Tantai clan's displeasure will damage relations among the various tribes in Southern Border?"

Yuan Qi also nodded in agreement and said, "The Tantai clan is one of the tribes in southern Xinjiang, so their cultivation is naturally different from that of the people in other places."

Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Ming's expression eased a lot and he nodded to Yuan Qi to express his gratitude.

Facing the two people's questioning and rebuttal, Hua Meimei still looked calm and indifferent, like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

Just as the atmosphere was gradually becoming tense, Ao Chun smiled lightly and stood up.

A pair of beautiful eyes lingered around and finally settled on Chen Mu.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, long time no see."

Jin Yuantong's face darkened when he saw this. He wanted to interrupt the two of them but he managed to hold back.

The monsters, however, looked around with curiosity, wanting to see what was so special about Chen Mu that he not only had Hua Meimei's praise, but also had the opportunity to meet the Seventh Princess of the East China Sea...

Chen Mu seemed to notice everyone's curiosity. He raised his eyes, smiled calmly, and said in a clear voice, "It has been years since we last met in Langya. I wonder how the princess is doing lately?"

"Langya?"

The monsters murmured to themselves, but guessed that they must have met when the eldest princess got married.

Ao Chun's beautiful eyes smiled as she opened her red lips slightly, "I can't compare to Fellow Daoist Chen. In just thirty years, he's advanced from the early stage of the Golden Core Realm to the late stage. Such a speed is truly enviable..."

The two of them had different thoughts. On the surface, they were polite and greeting each other, but in fact they were hinting to the group of monsters.

As expected, the monsters were frightened again upon hearing this, and their expressions gradually became solemn.

It is said that the human race is blessed with unique advantages and can cultivate very quickly, but compared to the hundreds of years it often takes them, isn't this a bit too fast?

Jin Yuantong didn't understand anything, but felt that Ao Chun was being too polite to Chen Mu. He said in a disgruntled voice, "Madam, this boy is here to compete with us for that spot. Why are you being so polite to him?"

Ao Chun frowned and said in a deep voice: "I have my own reasons, so don't say anything more!"

Jin Yuantong looked at him in astonishment. Ever since the Langya Banquet, Ao Chun had focused on his cultivation and had always spoken softly to him. Who would have thought that after just one meeting with Chen Mu, he would return to his previous impatient tone...

Ao Chun had no time to pay attention to him. He turned to Hua Meimei and said with a smile, "We were too anxious just now. Please don't blame us, Fellow Daoist Hua.

Since you are here, I might as well speak frankly."

She paused, and when Hua Meimei didn't react, she continued, "As long as you're willing to give up a spot in the Demon Court, you can ask for anything. My Dragon Palace has countless treasures, and I'm sure I can satisfy you."

She was the only one present who could speak so calmly and confidently with such a wealthy tone...
