Chapter 744: Chapter 745: Human Emperor’s Promotion Banquet! (2nd Update)
“Ling Feng, just you wait! Your death will co at the final challenge of the Royal Sword Team.”
Yaan Jinghong clenched his fists so tightly that his steel teeth were nearly crushed. The multitude of powers that had erged at the scene far exceeded his imagination.
Generals, Grand Commandants, Princes, the Heavenly Alliance…
These huge figures, even the Eastern Capital Yan Family behind him couldn’t afford to provoke.
“Take care, no need to see out!”
Ling Feng’s eyebrows raised in defiance, completely ignoring Yaan Jinghong’s warning. There were still three months until the final challenge of the Royal Sword Team, three months which were more than enough for him to erase the gap between him and Yaan Jinghong and even surpass him!
Yaan Jinghong snorted coldly and stord off.
The legendary figure of the Empire, who always got what he wanted, finally ate humble pie in front of Ling Feng without a word.
“This Little General Ling really is sothing!”
“Even the Heavenly Alliance has taken action! That’s the Heavenly Alliance we’re talking about!”
“Quick, quick, quick, increase the value of the gifts tenfold and rush to the Weiyuan General Mansion to congratulate him!”
Those families still watching from the shadows no longer hesitated. Even if they couldn’t befriend this Little General, they definitely couldn’t afford to beco his enemy!
“Brother Feng, you’re really too amazing!”
“Chief, I, Wang Yishan, am truly convinced by you without support!”
The lads from the East Courtyard crowded around, having witnessed with their own eyes Ling Feng reaching the legendary stature of Yaan Jinghong. The brothers were nothing but excited, pure and simple!
“Yaan Jinghong is still too arrogant and didn’t consider a true opponent, which is why he didn’t bring out his full strength,” Ling Feng said with a humble smile, thinking to himself: But after today, that guy will have to take my existence seriously.
Yaan Jinghong, the Yan Family!
Just wait, I will definitely take back what belongs to the Ling Family!
Next, nurous prominent figures continued to arrive, even the Cangqiong Sect sent Wen Tingguang, and of course, Yue Yunlan and her servant Qiaoqiao were also in the line to offer congratulations.
Unfortunately, they missed the great show that had just taken place.
“Brother Ling, the Sect Leader is too busy to co in person, but I, your elder brother, have prepared many gifts for you,” Wen Tingguang grinned, glancing at Yue Yunlan and winking heavily, saying, “Many are personally chosen by Miss Lan.”
“Ah, as the saying goes, girls are outgoing, they always reach out their elbows,” Wen Tingguang sighed lightly, pretending to be heartbroken.
“Uncle Wen!” Yue Yunlan glared at Wen Tingguang and gritted her teeth, “It was you who told to choose them!”
“Hahaha…” Wen Tingguang laughed heartily, patting Ling Feng on the shoulder, “Brother Ling, we brothers must have a good drink later!”
“Definitely, definitely!” Ling Feng chuckled lightly, then led the Cangqiong Sect’s group into the main hall.
…
Finally, when all the guests had gathered, the final, most significant person made his appearance.
The Human Emperor, Yan Cangtian!
In Ling Feng’s eyes, Yan Jinghong was nothing more than a stepping stone. Yan Cangtian’s attendance wasn’t intended to intimidate the insignificant Yan Jinghong, but rather, the entire Imperial City’s major powers.
The ssage he wanted to convey was that behind , Ling Feng, there stands an Emperor-level Expert!
An Emperor-level Expert, alone, was enough to secure a place for oneself in the Imperial City.
“Ladies and gentlen, esteed guests, I am delighted that everyone is willing to grace my humble ho with your presence.”
Ling Feng stood in the center of the hall, cupping his fists in a circle to the surrounding guests, and spoke in a clear voice, “In fact, this ti, it’s not only the completion of the new residence of the Weiyuan General Mansion, it’s also a double celebration!”
Ling Feng paused for a mont, then continued slowly, “My teacher has also been promoted to the Human Emperor status last month. After more than a month of secluded cultivation, he has completely stabilized his realm. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate my teacher. Hence, this banquet is also a celebration of the Human Emperor’s promotion!”
With these words, the room instantly boiled over!
A Human Emperor!
Despite how it seed that Ling Feng could encounter Emperor-level experts everywhere he went, in reality, within the entire Imperial City, including those potential Human Emperors, there probably wouldn’t be more than thirty, or even fewer.
And Ling Feng’s teacher was actually a Human Emperor!
“I wonder who is General Ling’s teacher?”
“No wonder Little General Ling is so outstanding. It turns out his teacher is an Emperor-level Expert!”
The guests engaged in lively discussion, all remarkably curious about that “teacher” Ling Feng had ntioned.
Of course, there were those in the know who, hearing this news, were slightly surprised.
“No wonder that old guy has been quiet lately, he’s actually broken through to a Human Emperor!”
Deng Xian stroked his long beard, the corners of his mouth turning upward in a smile. In truth, even if he and the others didn’t intervene today, with an Emperor-level Expert present, Yan Jinghong wouldn’t dare cause any trouble.
Each and every Human Emperor was a VIP highly regarded by the Empire, and if one was willing to pledge allegiance to the Empire, they could be ennobled instantaneously!
The little Yan Jinghong may have had boundless prospects, but he was still far from reaching the level of a Human Emperor!
“Grandpa, look at you, not as good as others even in your pri, and now in your old age, still lagging far behind! Humph, if this continues, that stinking Ling Feng will beco even more proud!” Deng Yongshi pouted and complained, “No, no, stinky grandpa, you have to break through quickly, or if Ling Feng bullies , I won’t have any support.”
“…”
Deng Xian imdiately felt countless beads of sweat on his forehead, “Shi, do you think Human Emperors are as common as cabbages on the street, that you can grab a bunch whenever you want? If it were that easy to make a breakthrough, don’t you think I would have done it long ago?”
Deng Xian gave a bitter smile, followed shortly by a light laugh, “Besides, that youngster Ling Feng is quite nice, how could he bully you?”
Deng Yongshi bit her lip, recalled Ling Feng’s special training for her, and snorted, “It’s not like he never bullied !”
“Hmm?” Deng Xian’s eyebrows twitched, his gaze becoming a bit suggestive as he looked at his beloved granddaughter, “Shi, how did that young man bully you?”
“Ptui, ptui, ptui!” Deng Yongshi saw her grandpa’s look and imdiately spat dismissively, “Stinky grandpa, what are you thinking about!”
“Ha ha…” Deng Xian, after all was an old fox, gave his granddaughter a pat on her head, laughed heartily, and said, “Shi, other people your grandpa really wouldn’t care for, but as your suitor, grandpa is very satisfied with Ling Feng. If you like him, grandpa supports you!”
“I… I don’t like him… Humph! Stinky grandpa! I… I don’t want to talk to you anymore!”
Deng Yongshi’s face flushed with heat, and she cursed inwardly: As if I’d ever like that slly guy.
Wait, why is my face so hot, oh no, I must be sick!
