Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"There's definitely something fishy about this...!"

A thought suddenly popped into Lu Feng's mind, and he subconsciously released his Yuan Power to sense it.

Snapped!

However, before Lu Feng could make a move, he was patted hard on the shoulder and stood there stunned.

"Hehe, isn't this Young Master Lu?"

Suddenly, Bei Chen Erlong appeared behind Lu Feng, beaming with smiles. "Young Master Lu, today is our young lady's wedding day. All sorts of fine wines and dishes have been served. We hope you will enjoy your meal and drinks and not stand on ceremony..."

"Brother Erlong, you're too kind..."

Lu Feng nodded in response to Bei Chen Erlong's polite words, and at the same time quietly withdrew his Yuan Power perception.

"Wait, something's not quite right with this guy either..."

Watching the departing figures of Bei Chen Erlong, Lu Feng first narrowed his eyes slightly, then frowned, as if he had noticed something amiss.

"Young Master Lu, you're only realizing this now?"

He heard Gu Canyang's low voice reminding him, "That's right, just like that guy named Mu Yuan, this person also has demonic energy on him, and the aura is extremely strong, almost completely undisguised...!"

Gu Canyang spoke solemnly, clearly having already noticed that something was amiss in the ancestral hall. Moreover, it wasn't just Mu Yuan, the groom; even Bei Chen Erlong and the others were shrouded in demonic energy, which was quite eerie!

"Old Age, what on earth is going on...?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's vigilance increased significantly.

For some reason, he always felt as if he had unwittingly stumbled into a den of wolves and tigers, and that he was in danger of losing his life at any moment!

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but I can confirm one thing for now..."

"What?"

Lu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Gu Canyang paused slightly, then said, word by word, "Everyone in this shrine is about to become nourishment for the growth and expansion of that strange demonic energy..."

"As for that guy named Mu Yuan, his entire body is corroded by a large amount of demonic energy. Even if he manages to forcibly remove the demonic energy from his body, he probably won't live much longer...!"

"In just one night, Mu Yuan's body has been corrupted by demonic energy, and he's nearing the end? Could this also be the work of the Beichen clan...?"

As soon as the former finished speaking, Lu Feng was equally astonished, his palms sweating uncontrollably. "Damn it! No wonder that guy looked so pale and listless, like he'd lost his soul..."

"But what exactly is the purpose of the Beichen clan doing this?"

Thinking about this, Lu Feng was even more puzzled.

After all, demonic energy is derived from the evil thoughts and desires of living beings. It has no intelligence or physical form; it is merely an embodiment of power.

However, the entire shrine is currently shrouded in a large amount of demonic energy, and even the guests present have become nourishment. This is obviously not something that ordinary people can do, and there must be high-level manipulation by the Beichen clan behind it!

"Fellow Daoists, today is my daughter's wedding day, and it is my honor that you have graced us with your presence at the banquet..."

Just as Lu Feng was considering his next move, Bei Chenlie, who was sitting on the main seat in the ancestral hall, slowly rose and raised his glass to the many guests in the hall, saying, "I will drink this cup of celebratory wine first as a sign of respect."

After speaking, Bei Chenlie took a sip of his wine, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, seemingly in a very good mood.

"Congratulations, Patriarch Beichen!"

"Congratulations! Miss Wan'er is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also gentle and virtuous. As for the young master of the Mu family, he is exceptionally talented and of noble birth. The two of them are truly a match made in heaven!"

"Indeed, it is a great honor for us to be able to attend this banquet today and share in the joy of the newlyweds..."

Seeing this, many guests in the hall raised their glasses and drank, chatting and laughing. Among them were members of the other three major families, making the atmosphere at the wedding banquet very lively!

"First bow to Heaven and Earth...! Second bow to our parents...!"

"The couple bows to each other...! Then they are led to the bridal chamber...!"

Before long, under the personal supervision of Bei Chenlie, Bei Chenwan and Mu Yuan also completed their wedding ceremony. However, the latter's complexion was getting worse and worse, and he could even stand up a little unsteadily!

In contrast, Bei Chenwan herself had a rosy complexion and was as before, seemingly unaffected by the strange demonic energy around her.

"As expected, that girl is unaffected by the demonic energy..."

Lu Feng glanced once more at Bei Chenwan, who was dressed in a festive wedding gown not far away, and muttered to himself, "It seems that besides the Bei Chen clan, all the other guests at the banquet, as well as the martial artists from the other three major families, will be affected by this demonic energy..."

"Strange, demonic energy itself has no intelligence or physical form; it's merely an embodiment of power. It can't distinguish between friend and foe. Logically, the Beichen clan should also be affected by demonic energy...?"

Thinking about this, Lu Feng's doubts deepened.

"Whatever! It's none of my business anyway...!"

After a moment's thought, Lu Feng abandoned his curiosity and secretly calculated, "Right now, I should hurry up and find out about the two envoys of the Wusheng Sect. Finding Xiaoyu as soon as possible is the right thing to do..."

Having made up his mind, Lu Feng did not linger in the ancestral hall. He simply grabbed a few roast chickens, stuffed a few bottles of unfinished premium Jiannanchun liquor into his pocket, and then quietly left.

"This roast chicken smells amazing, and these bottles of premium Jiannanchun liquor can't go to waste...!"

Clutching the roast chicken and wine tightly to his chest, Lu Feng couldn't help but smack his lips as he ran towards his temporary room.

Although today's wedding banquet was somewhat strange, and Lu Feng's original intention was not to eat and drink, he had already come all this way, and it wouldn't be in his nature to leave empty-handed.

As the saying goes, "If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a coward!"

This sentence has long been engraved in Lu Feng's blood, and it will not change even if he dies!

"Um?"

On the other side of the ancestral hall, seeing Lu Feng quietly leave his seat, Bei Chen Erlong also raised his eyebrows slightly, then secretly transmitted his voice to Bei Chen Lie on the main seat, "Master, it seems a prey has escaped. Do you need your subordinate to take over for you...?"

"Do as you please, all I want is the heart, a vibrant heart brimming with boundless desire...!"

Bei Chenlie glanced in the direction Lu Feng had left, his face still expressionless, before coldly speaking.

"Yes, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Bei Chen Erlong's eyes also flashed with a fierce light, as if he instantly understood the meaning behind the other party's words. Instantly, he turned into a blur and disappeared.

As for Lu Feng at this moment, he was eating roast chicken and drinking fine wine while secretly inquiring about the two envoys of the Wusheng Sect, completely unaware that he had been targeted.
