“Elders, please guard the imperial city gate carefully . Tonight’s banquet is extremely important for the empire,” Fa He told the elders sternly . The elders nodded obediently .
“Don’t worry, Second Prince . No incident will happen tonight,” declared the leader of the elders . They would do their best to insure the empire did not lose face .
“Alright!” Fa He smiled . He looked at Lin Feng respectfully and asked, “Brother Mu Feng, shall we go in?”
“Follow the protocol, no need to ask me . I’ll just follow,” Lin Feng replied calmly . He just wanted to get in the palace, that’s all .
Fa He was relieved, though . “Alright, wait here for a while . I need to greet the guests since I’m in charge of the banquet . You can stand with me here,” Fa He smiled .
“Alright,” Lin Feng agreed .
Lin Feng stayed next to Fa He at the entrance to the banquet hall . He was going to meet young geniuses from all sorts of places . He had also guessed the purpose of the banquet; apart from him, no genius had passed the exam, so the emperor was probably worried .
He organized a banquet because he probably had ulterior motives . There would be opportunities for many people here!
“The Great Prince is here!” announced an elder after half an hour . Lin Feng and Fa He raised their heads and saw a large group of people arrive . There were some high-level Supreme Gods, but they were old already, and didn’t count as young geniuses .
Fa Chun came out of his wain . When he saw Lin Feng and Fa He together, he was annoyed . Fa He kept plotting . If he hadn’t, Lin Feng would have probably followed him instead!
But he wasn’t worried, there would be geniuses from everywhere at the banquet . At the right time, he would find some young geniuses!
Fa Chun walked over to Lin Feng and Fa He . He didn’t look as pleasant as before, he looked much more solemn this time .
“Mu Feng, Brother, you arrived early,” Fa Chun greeted them smoothly, then walked straight into the imperial palace . He didn’t even glance at the elders, which made many of them angry .
The Great Prince was really arrogant . Apart from Fa Duo and the state teachers, he disdained everyone .
Fa Chun entered the palace, but Lin Feng didn’t pay much attention to him . Fa Chun couldn’t really help Lin Feng, as he had captured Yan Ran Xue and imprisoned her . Lin Feng could only consider him an enemy .
“Brother Mu Feng, did you see that? Fa Chun pretended to respect you before, and now he’s acting like that . The devil can’t hide his cloven hoof!” sighed Fa He, shrugging and smiling mockingly .
“What about you? Wouldn’t you be the same if you were the Great Prince?” Lin Feng replied provocatively .
Fa He smiled and said, “No, I wouldn’t . I am not resentful or conceited . I just wish you the best, and I am sure you understand that . ”
“Are you sure?” Lin Feng replied, amused .
Fa He smiled, but remained silent .
“The Fourth Prince is here,” said an elder at that moment . The Fourth Prince didn’t come with his wain, and he came alone . He looked rather wan and sallow . When he saw Lin Feng standing by Fa He, he was furious .
“Brother Mu Feng, I’m keeping the courtyard for you,” Fa Yin said to Lin Feng, but he ignored Fa He and entered the imperial palace .
“He doesn’t respect you, either,” said Fa He mockingly . Fa He was trying to make Lin Feng hate the other princes, fanning the flames and dropping stones on them when they were already down . If Lin Feng’s goal wasn’t to save Yan Ran Xue, perhaps he would have spent more time with the Second Prince .
“Someone is arriving,” said Fa He at that moment . A man in blue clothes arrived, his Qi was swift and fierce . He looked handsome and charming .
Level three high-level Supreme God layer . Lin Feng immediately noticed the man’s cultivation level .
The man walked to the gate, and glanced at the elders proudly . He was a real genius, but he had to respect those old men .
“Who are you?” asked Fa He . Everybody had to be invited, and people who came to the imperial palace were all extraordinary .
“Gu Gu Clan, Gu Ying,” replied the man in blue clothes impassively . “You?”
“I am the Second Prince of the Fa Lan Empire . I am also in charge of the banquet . Please come in,” said Fa He . When he heard Gu Ying’s name, he looked happy and moved aside to let him into the imperial palace .
Gu Ying nodded and got ready to go in . But then he glanced at Lin Feng and his expression changed .
“Who is that?” asked Gu Ying, looking at Lin Feng .
“He’s a genius who has been recruited recently, Mu Feng,” said Fa He .
Gu Ying nodded, but he still had the impression there was something wrong . Lin Feng’s Qi was more powerful than his own .
Initially, Gu Ying had thought everything would go smoothly at the banquet but since there were geniuses like Lin Feng, then things wouldn’t be as easy this time . It looked like this Mu Feng had already been recruited by the Fa Lan Empire…
Gu Ying greeted Lin Feng and disappeared inside the palace .
“Brother Mu Feng, the young genius of the Gu Gu Clan is incredibly strong,” said Fa He when Gu Ying disappeared .
“The geniuses of the ancient sects and clans are all really strong, but don’t forget one thing: the champions of the Great Competition which happened recently weren’t from an ancient sect or clan,” Lin Feng replied calmly .
Fa He frowned and continued waiting for young geniuses .
“Someone else is here,” said an elder again . Some men with plaited bamboo hats and black robes arrived . They looked ominous .
Fa He looked nervous . “Who is here?” he asked politely .
“Ancient Soul Clan, the Five Heroes,” replied the five people at the same time . The Five Heroes’ Qi felt gloomy and evil . Lin Feng frowned .
The Ancient Soul Clan? So another ancient clan had come out . The Ancient Soul Clan hadn’t sent anyone to the Great Competition . They were only called the Five Heroes because there were five of them .
“Can we go in?” asked the five people impatiently .
Fa He hastily moved aside and smiled, “Please, Five Heroes . ”
The Five Heroes didn’t even glance at Fa He, but they did inspect Lin Feng for a second .
“The Ancient Soul Clan is here too…” whispered Lin Feng . That continent was getting more and more fun, and things were getting more complex, too…
“Lun Bi Empire, Chu Li,” announced an icy voice suddenly . Many people were amazed .
Chu Li from the Lun Bi Empire? He was one of the champions of the Great Competition, and he came to the Fa Lan Empire?
Fa He was stupefied . He hadn’t invited Chu Li, Chu Li had killed Fa Heng after all, so they were now supposed to be enemies . How did Chu Li dare appear here?!
The eyes of the elders of the Fa Lan Empire were filled with murder . They looked at Chu Li furiously .
Chu Li!
