617: Chapter 615: City Lord’s Birthday Banquet 617: Chapter 615: City Lord’s Birthday Banquet Lin Xuan unleashed the Silent Annihilation Sword and finally broke through the attack of the Demon Cloud Vine.
Not only that, he also destroyed the entire forest.
The boundless darkness dissipated, revealing the scenery of the outside world.
The middle-aged man’s epheral visage also appeared beside Lin Xuan, but now it was exceptionally pale and extrely disheveled.
“Please spare my life, I will tell you who sent !” The middle-aged man’s voice trembled, devoid of his earlier arrogance.
At this mont, he looked nothing like an assassin, more like a holess dog.
“No need, I already know.” Lin Xuan’s expression was cold.
“Blackwood Castle, wasn’t it?”
At these words, the middle-aged man’s pupils shrank violently, a look of horror on his face.
However, before he could say anything else, the Silent Annihilation Sword swung and quickly penetrated his chest, taking away all his vitality.
Following this, all of the Dark Forest disappeared, and a purple-black seed fell to the ground.
The seed was as big as a fist, covered with patterns like a purple cloud.
“That was close!”
The Dark Red Divine Dragon heaved a sigh of relief, “Thankfully, the Demon Cloud Vine hadn’t fully matured, or else we might never have been able to escape.”
“Demon Cloud Vine…” Lin Xuan looked contemplative, then he took the seed into his hand.
“This seed is still alive, isn’t it?”
“Boy, what are you thinking?
Don’t tell you want to cultivate the Demon Cloud Vine!”
The Dark Red Divine Dragon was shocked, “I must warn you, the Demon Cloud Vine is very difficult to cultivate, and ordinary people simply cannot grow it successfully.”
“Moreover, it’s too dangerous!
There was a King who once cultivated one, only to be devoured by it.”
“In ancient tis, the Demon Cloud Vine represented disaster!” The Dark Red Dragon cautioned.
“Don’t worry, I understand.
I won’t use it recklessly without being sure,” said Lin Xuan, and then he put it into his Storage Belt.
Having witnessed the peculiar energy of the Demon Cloud Vine, Lin Xuan was greatly shocked; just his power wasn’t enough currently to control the Demon Cloud Vine.
Maybe when he was stronger in the future, he could consider cultivating the Demon Cloud Vine again.
“Let’s hurry, we don’t want to be late.”
Lin Xuan called to the Snow White Monkey and the Dark Red Divine Dragon, and they quickly headed towards the City Lord Mansion.
At this ti, the City Lord Mansion was still a place of song and dance, bustling with activity.
However, Nangong Sheng and Ma Rulong were extrely anxious in their hearts.
Lin Xuan had not yet arrived, and Blackwood Mountain was already making things difficult for them.
“Having often heard of the Holy Dragon Fighting Arena, seeing it today, both of you are indeed young heroes.
But where is the young genius who has ten consecutive victories?”
“Yes, on such an important occasion as the City Lord’s birthday, why hasn’t he appeared?”
“Does he not wish to co here?”
With these words, many people frowned – the statent was sharp, with an undertone of provocation.
Hearing this, both Nangong Sheng and Ma Rulong’s eyelids twitched wildly.
“Hehe, how could that be?
Brother Lin wasn’t feeling well and went out for a rest; he will be back shortly.”
“Oh, is that so?
Where did he go to rest?
The top-grade elixirs from our Blackwood Family are very effective, they certainly could heal him.”
Blackwood Mountain pressed the issue, knowing full well Lin Xuan wouldn’t possibly appear.
“No need, Brother Lin will be fine shortly!” Ma Rulong spoke with a cold voice.
The people from both sides argued, while those from the City Lord Mansion frowned.
Today was their City Lord’s great birthday, and they had invited all the powers within Quicksand City; yet now soone dared not to co, which was essentially a slap in their face!
Moreover, all the top powers had arrived, and a re junior dared to be absent?
This was outright disregard for their City Lord Mansion!
Especially the young disciples, each one of them had a hostile look in their eyes.
Their cultivation was formidable, and they belonged to an age of boundless pride and arrogance.
Now, to see others lavish praise on another youth dissatisfied them greatly.
Seated atop the grand hall, the old City Lord was surrounded by colorful clouds so dense his true form was obscured.
At this mont, hearing the discussion below, he too put down his wine cup and fell silent.
A sowhat oppressive aura dispersed, reverberating throughout the grand hall.
Nangong Sheng was shocked, realizing he had indeed disturbed the powerful City Lord.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and swiftly stood up.
“Youngster Nangong Sheng feels imnsely fortunate to be invited by the City Lord Mansion today,”
“and herewith presents a longevity gift, hoping the City Lord will find favor in it.”
“Hmph!
You?”
“A re Fighting Arena, what sort of gift can you bring that would make the City Lord happy?
Ridiculous!”
The disciples of the Blackwood Family snickered, prompting a wave of echoing laughter around them.
Nangong Sheng’s expression remained unchanged, he stood with a smile.
If it were any other matter, he might indeed have been worried.
But he had absolute confidence in this gift.
“Present it.”
A commanding voice rang out, and imdiately an elder walked down, standing in the void, grasping the purple sandalwood box with his hands.
Afterward, he vanished in an instant.
When he reappeared, he was already above the grand hall.
Standing beside the City Lord, the elder presented the box with utmost respect.
The City Lord received the sandalwood box and opened it slowly, his expression revealing astonishnt.
“This is a thousand-year-old Peach Seed, which I chanced upon.
I hope the City Lord likes it,” said Nangong Sheng.
“What, a thousand-year-old Peach Seed!” The crowd exclaid in surprise, causing an uproar.
It was known that Quicksand City had a peculiar climate, extrely lacking in water, making spiritual dicines here rare and mostly not aged long.
A thousand-year-old spiritual dicine seed was extrely rare!
Even a Venerable might not possess such an item, and yet a re Spirit Communication Realm youngster had presented such a significant gift.
The surrounding crowd marveled, their gaze towards Nangong Sheng and company changing.
The people of the Nangong Family were also taken aback, unaware of when exactly Nangong Sheng had co to possess such an extraordinary treasure.
The disciples of the Blackwood Family had darkened faces, having just mocked the other party for being unable to present anything worthwhile, only for Nangong Sheng to produce a thousand-year-old spiritual dicine seed.
At that mont, they felt their faces burning, as if they had been slapped fiercely.
“Indeed, it seems like a thousand-year-old spiritual dicine seed, and its spirit is full and exuberant, truly top-grade!” the City Lord exclaid with a smile.
At once, the air that had originally been taut with tension relaxed, replaced by a gentle ambiance.
“It is indeed a generous gift.
Your thoughtfulness is appreciated!” The City Lord’s deanor had obviously ward up a great deal, even wearing a slight smile.
Again, the crowd was taken aback.
Receiving praise from the City Lord was extraordinarily difficult.
Before this, only elders had ever seen such an attitude from the City Lord during their exchanges; the younger generation had never achieved such recognition.
And now, Nangong Sheng had been lauded!
The young disciples present were incredibly shocked, especially the disciples of the Blackwood Family, whose faces darkened with dismay.
“Hmph, don’t think that by presenting a gift, you can escape the cri of disrespecting the City Lord!” Blackwood Mountain sneered with a touch of ferocity in his voice.
“Lin Xuan’s failure to attend the birthday banquet is a challenge and insult to the City Lord Mansion!”
The voice was sharply piercing, escalating the conflict thoroughly.
Imdiately, silence descended upon the entire grand hall once more.
