The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 37
"Sister Cheng!" Ling Dong Xing immediately stuck a smile on his face, raising his strung hands towards Cheng Wen Kun as a greeting.
"Come on, come on, come on, you're the guest of honor today, I'm afraid you won't come!" Cheng Wen Kun tugged at Ling Dong Xing's arm, displaying an image of friendliness and enthusiasm.
"This is brother Cheng's banquet, how could I not give you face?" Ling Dong Xing laughed out loud.
The two exchanged words, searching the entire world like a pair of old friends. Those who do not know the story will definitely not think that they are mortal enemies – one of them wants nothing more than to see the other die.
Ling Han shrugged his shoulders. He was extremely dislike of this kind of false courtesy. Thankfully, in his last life, he was an alchemy genius, so there were only people who would flatter and curry favor with him and there was no need for him to do the same with anyone.
Cheng Wen Kun did not even glance at Ling Han, as if he did not know that this was the person who had injured his two sons, and also the culprit behind the economic war between the two clans.
"Haner, don't go too far" Ling Dong Xing ordered.
"Yes, Dad!" Ling Han replied and followed him with Liu Yu Tong.
Under Cheng Wen Kun's guidance, they arrived very quickly at the Main Hall, where there were about a hundred banquet tables. Nowadays, there are enough people sitting. Since there was a name written on every banquet table, the incident of sitting at the wrong table would not happen so easily.
The person who had made the arrangements for the Main Hall was a very attentive person, as he had taken into consideration the fact that some guests might come with female companions. As a result, although there was room for ten people at each banquet table, there were only about five names written on each.
After Ling Han and Liu Yu Tong found their table, they took their seats.
"Young Master Han!"
There were already three other people sitting at this banquet table. They all greeted Ling Han, their faces filled with respect.
They were all young people, as well as students from Grey Cloud Academy. Not long ago, they had all witnessed Ling Han showing his invincible strength and defeating Cheng Xiang and his brother, plus they had also heard the fact that he was at the seventh layer of the Body Refining Tier. So, they naturally dared to not display the slightest hint of contempt.
A sixteen year old in the seventh layer of the Body Refining Tier. .. in Gray Cloud Town, this kind of individual would more than deserve the name of a genius.
Ling Han smiled in response. After all, they gave him a face, so naturally, there was no reason for him to give them a cold shoulder.
After a while, Ling Mu Yun also sat down at this table, and while he looked as if he had not seen Ling Han at all, his entire face was stiff. After a while, Cheng Xiang walked over and also sat down at this particular table.
"Ling Han, you don't look too bad!" Cheng Xiang smiled coldly at Ling Han.
Ling Han looked at him and said, "Hehe, the wound on your face seems to have recovered quickly."
Cheng Xiang's face flushed instantly. He regarded the fact that he had been defeated by Ling Han in public as a great humiliation. Moreover, he was even forced to beg for mercy. Every time he remembered the incident, he wanted to kill himself. However, after today, he would be able to completely remove this stain in his honor and regain his pride.
"You can only have this short time to be satisfied with yourself!" He said, coldly smiling, "Later, you will kneel before me to beg my forgiveness!"
"Are you not taking your medicine? Or did you overdose?" Ling Han said, smiling.
Cheng Xiang did not say anything more, but the corner of his lips slightly lifted, forming a mysterious smile.
The number of guests is rapidly increasing. At first, most guests were still free to walk around. After all, this kind of banquet is also a good opportunity to get you liked by your boss and discuss business. But as more and more guests arrived, most sat in their respective seats to wait for the party to begin.
The hostile relationship of the Ling Clan with the Cheng Clan was observed by all. They were the two biggest parties in Gray Cloud Town. If the Cheng Clan decided to give up on Ling Han now, then after this, the Ling Clan would become the most dominant party in Gray Cloud Town.
As a result, there were many guests attending the banquet tonight; they were all here to witness the historic moment that might happen.
Immediately, Cheng Wen Kun stood up and waved his hand in various directions, signaling that he had something to say. Most of the guests who were whispering to each other also stopped their respective conversations, and the Main Hall became extremely silent.
"The reason why I invited you all tonight is to introduce someone to you," Cheng Wen Kun began.
When these words sounded, everyone present wore blank expressions.
What the hell is going on here? Wasn't the Cheng Clan supposed to admit defeat from the Ling Clan? How could this be someone's reception banquet? If they had known earlier, most of the guests would not have attended this banquet.
"Shua," the guests' attention all turned to focus on Ling Dong Xing. Now that the Cheng Clan had made such a move, then the person bearing that burden would naturally become the Clan Head of the Ling Clan. They want to see how he will react.
But what invited the disappointment of most of the guests was the fact that Ling Dong Xing's face still maintained a calm smile, as if he didn't care.
Cheng Wen Kun continued to speak, "This person will be my nephew, Cheng Xiao Yuan, who left the clan at the age of thirteen to become a disciple of one of the Elders of the Stone Wolf Sect. Now that he had become a little skilled, he had returned for a family visit. "
The Stone Wolf Sect!
Everyone present was in shock. Stone Wolf Sect is the overlord within thousands of miles around it, and holds supreme power over dozens of cities – including Gray Cloud Town. They could be considered as the ultimate local tyrant. Cheng Wen Kun suddenly revealed this hidden card clearly meant that he had no plans to admit defeat to the Ling Clan. Instead, he planned to use the Stone Wolf Sect to suppress the Ling Clan.
However, no matter how it was, Cheng Xiao Yuan was only a disciple of one of the Stone Sect Elders, so his abilities should be very limited, right?
"Xiao Yuan was also very lucky to invite such a highly respected honored guest!" Cheng Wen Kun smiled. This was his original trump card, "Let's welcome Chen Feng Lie, Elder Chen!"
Older!
The Stone Wolf Sect Elder? It was a powerful existence in the Gushing Spring Tier!
Cheng Wen Kun took the lead in a welcoming applause, and in succession, all the other guests joined in applause. At this moment, an old man walked out of the living room and appeared in their midst. He had a medium-sized figure and was clad completely in vermilion. He had black hair full of head and a reddish complexion that shone with a strange light.
Behind the old man meticulously followed a young man, whose hand was held and lowered his eyebrows, displaying a very respectful image.
Without a doubt, this old man was definitely Chen Feng Lie, whereas that young man was definitely Cheng Xiao Yuan.
Chen Feng Lie walked towards the host table and, as if there was no one else around, sat down, appearing extremely arrogant. But no one dared to express disapproval towards this kind of attitude from him, as he was a powerful warrior in the Gushing Spring Tier. Even if the man was only at the first layer of the Tier Gushing Spring, he would be able to easily dominate someone at the ninth layer of the Tier Element Gathering. This is the strict rule of martial arts.
He did not speak a word for a while. In his eyes, this was a natural sequence of various events. There was absolutely no one here who deserved to talk to him – if Cheng Xiao Yuan did not beg and ask him for days, he would not even be deigned to show his face in such a place.
Cheng Wen Kun directed a satisfied look at Ling Dong Xing. The meaning was more or less, 'I even managed to invite an Elder from the Stone Wolf Sect here, and you still dare to challenge me?'
Cheng Xiao Yuan did not sit down with Chen Feng Lie at the host's table. Instead, he made his way to sit next to Cheng Xiang grandly.
This man was at the Element Collection Level. He shouldn't have broken through for too long, as he was still at the first layer of the Element Gathering Tier.
"Sister Xiang, I heard you had a fight with someone a few days ago and lost?" Cheng Xiao Yuan asked Cheng Xiang.
"I'm less skilled than my opponent, ai!" Cheng Xiang sighed.
"Oh?" Cheng Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow, and said, "Who have you lost? I want to see this guy!"
"Hehe, he seems far away, but he's actually close!" Cheng Xiang's gaze turned towards Ling Han.
"So, you lost to this young genius?" Cheng Xiao Yuan smiled coldly, also looked at Ling Han, and said in the challenge, "Do you dare to compete with me?"
