I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Those gazes were scrutinizing, curious, and also carried a hint of subtle hostility.

Chu Feng acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and calmly followed Zhao Xun into the banquet hall adorned with stars.

Chu Qingge, standing behind him, possessed a cool and aloof demeanor, like an iceberg that had never melted.

Zhuge Yue was gentle and graceful, with a scholarly air about her as she looked around.

Lin Wanyin seemed a little flustered, following closely behind Chu Feng, not daring to look around.

Shi Xuanfei's alluring eyes darted around, taking in every prodigy present with great interest, a playful smile playing on her lips.

Yu Luocha remained expressionless, like a beautiful but soulless doll, silently following at the back.

The group, especially the several stunning women with different looks and temperaments, was already eye-catching enough.

Now, under the personal guidance of Zhao Xun, the chief steward of Baidi City, they have become the focus of the entire event.

"Who is this person? He has quite the influence, to the point that Steward Zhao personally led the way."

"I don't know, I've never seen him. But the women around him are all stunning beauties, especially the one in white, her aura is absolutely amazing!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. Anyone who can be treated like this by Butler Zhao must be someone extraordinary."

Whispers arose in the crowd, but quickly subsided.

Everyone present was proud and arrogant; although they were curious, they maintained their composure.

Zhao Xun led Chu Feng and his group straight to the very center of the banquet, where several jade tables were carved from the core of a single star.

That's the main seat.

Those who are sitting there are all unparalleled geniuses recognized as qualified to compete for the top ten in this Myriad Realms Prodigy Ranking.

Just as Zhao Xun was about to arrange for Chu Feng and the others to take their seats, someone finally couldn't sit still any longer.

A figure slowly stood up.

It was a young man wearing a purple robe with lightning patterns. He was tall and arrogant, with faint lightning flashing around him. His aura was extremely powerful, and he had already reached the Venerable Lord realm.

"Butler Zhao."

The young man in purple robes spoke, his voice not loud, but it clearly carried throughout the entire hall.

"Who are these people?"

His gaze swept over Chu Feng with undisguised contempt before finally settling on Chu Qingge, Zhuge Yue, and the others, a hint of amazement and greed flashing in his eyes.

Zhao Xun stopped and turned to look at the young man in purple robes. He said politely, "Young Master Lei Ao, this is a distinguished guest personally invited by the City Lord."

"Distinguished guests?" The young man called Lei Ao sneered. "Steward Zhao, you and I both know who sits here. They are all successors of various immortal lineages or prodigies from ancient divine families. They are all qualified to compete for the top ten of this year's Prodigy Ranking."

He pointed to the empty jade tables, his voice rising a few decibels.

"Even Lei Dongtian, the Holy Son of my Divine Firmament Holy Land, isn't qualified to sit there. I'd like to ask, which holy land does this so-called distinguished guest belong to? Or is he a descendant of some imperial clan? What gives him the right to sit in front of all of us?"

These words were extremely blunt and expressed the doubts that many people present had.

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Chu Feng.

They also wanted to know, what was it about this seemingly ordinary guy that made him so special?

Zhao Xun frowned almost imperceptibly, about to explain.

Chu Feng raised his hand to stop him.

He looked at the purple-robed youth named Lei Ao, his expression calm, and spoke softly.

"You're saying I'm not qualified?"

Seeing that Chu Feng dared to look him directly in the eye, Lei Ao's arrogance grew even stronger. He snorted coldly, "Not bad. Everyone here today is someone of importance. State your sect's lineage. If you truly have influence, I, Lei Ao, will apologize to you. If you're just some nobody trying to fish in troubled waters..."

The threat in his words was self-evident.

The surrounding prodigies all wore expressions of anticipation, as if watching a good show.

The Divine Firmament Holy Land is a top-tier power ranked among the top twenty in the Heavenly Realm, with a long history and profound foundation.

Although Lei Ao is not a holy son, he is one of the core successors. His lightning techniques are superb, and his strength is extremely high.

This young man in black has probably bitten off more than he can chew.

Chu Feng's expression remained unchanged. He had his hands in his pockets and spoke in a statement of fact.

"I belong to no sect or school."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a low, suppressed laugh.

"No sect or faction? A rogue cultivator?"

"Haha, that's hilarious! A rogue cultivator dares to attend the Heavenly Pride Banquet? And he even dares to dream of sitting in the main seat?"

"Is this guy crazy? What does he think Baidi City is?"

Lei Ao felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He pointed at Chu Feng and burst into laughter.

"A rogue cultivator? Hahahaha! Steward Zhao, did you hear that? You actually want a rogue cultivator to sit on our heads? Is this an insult to us, or an insult to the Lord of White Emperor City?"

His smile vanished abruptly, and his eyes turned sinister and terrifying.

"Boy, I don't care how you fooled Steward Zhao. Kneel down right now, kowtow three times, and get out of here. Otherwise, this banquet will have an extra dish to go with the drinks!"

Arrogant!

overbearing!

This is the style of the geniuses of the Divine Firmament Holy Land.

In their eyes, a rogue cultivator is like an ant, whose life and death are in their hands.

Shi Xuanfei and the others' expressions changed slightly, and they were about to lash out.

Chu Qingge gripped the hilt of her sword at her waist, her cold eyes already brimming with sword intent.

Chu Feng remained calm, staring at Lei Ao as if he were looking at a dead man.

He was getting a little impatient.

I originally came to gather intelligence and see if there were any fools I could make an example of, but I didn't expect to run into one as soon as I entered.

That saves trouble.

"You're very noisy."

Chu Feng uttered three words calmly.

Lei Ao was stunned, not yet realizing what those three words meant.

"What did you say? Find...?"

His words came to an abrupt end.

Because, without warning, a figure appeared in front of him.

too fast!

It was so fast that no one present, including Lei Ao himself, could see the other party's movements clearly.

Chu Feng reached out, grabbed Lei Ao by the neck, and lifted him off the ground.

Lei Ao's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with terror and disbelief.

The supreme laws within his body were operating wildly, trying to break free.

However, the hand gripping his neck was like the most solid divine iron in the world, and it did not budge no matter how much he struggled.

A sense of dread about death instantly gripped his heart.

"you……"

He managed to squeeze out a single word from his throat with difficulty.

Click!

A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out clearly in the hall.

Chu Feng released his grip.

Lei Ao's body slumped down, his head drooping at an odd angle, completely lifeless.

A prodigy at the Venerable Lord realm had his neck crushed in public.

The entire banquet hall was deathly silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

Everyone seemed frozen in place, staring blankly at the still-warm corpse on the ground, their minds completely blank.
