The next two days were calm.
Li Feng stayed in the room the whole ti to recover in seclusion. The dicine sent by Liao Chen was indeed a secret Kunlun formula, nourishing the organs impacted earlier and ensuring no lasting damage.
Two days later.
A convoy of over a dozen vehicles traveled down the highway outside the town, and reinforcents from the Three Sects and Six Gates and top ten families arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
Mo Fan hurried into the courtyard.
"They've arrived, other sect disciples have already entered the town and are heading to the station now."
Before Mo Fan could finish conveying the ssage, Wudaozi walked inside.
"Everyone, it seems you're already inford. Uncle Liao Chen has returned and instructed to tell you that a small welcoming ceremony will be held in the town square tonight. It's to welco you, and also to help everyone get acquainted."
"You'll be fighting side by side soon; without understanding each other, you can't support one another."
"Alright, we'll be there on ti."
"Then have a rest first, I'll take my leave." Wudaozi said and left promptly.
"Looks like everything went smoothly on the way."
Li Nianqing said as Wudaozi left.
"Yes, this ti Kunlun dispatched the Sect Leader's direct disciple Liao Chen, showing their stance clearly. Even the Demon Path dares not act rashly, or else they might provoke the wrath of the Three Sects, which would be a grave loss."
Li Feng replied.
The Demon Path's four sects, though they wield great weapons that keep the Three Sects and Six Gates and top ten families cautious, are like an atomic bomb; it remains a deterrent as long as held back. Once unleashed, there can only be one result—a full-scale war.
Though the Demon Path's power is fathomless, the Three Sects and Six Gates and top ten families in Ancient Martial Arts are equally formidable, especially the Top Three Sects, which boast rich heritage over millennia.
Several hours later.
It's nearly ten o'clock, but in the Southern Border, this is only around sunset; after a brief rest, other sects also ca to the town's only small square.
A massive bonfire shot up illuminating the square.
Several long tables were set aside, with so food placed on top, not as exquisite as a Western buffet, yet more grounded.
"Everyone, I represent Kunlun to welco you. You are the leading figures from your sects and families, coming to Kunlun not only to resist the Demon Path but also for an opportunity."
"I wish you all success and good prospects."
Liao Chen raised a glass of locally-produced grape wine and drank it in one swift motion.
"Next, don't be polite. This is not only a welcoming party but also a chance to get to know each other since once entering the Kunlun Void, you'll be comrades."
"I hope you can unite, join hands and walk out of Kunlun Void together."
Liao Chen didn't preach any grand principles, said a few grounded words, then stepped back, leaving the scene to everyone.
"Hmph, sounds nice."
Chen Xiaoyue snorted disdainfully at Liao Chen's words.
Li Feng glanced sideways at Chen Xiaoyue: "Why, do you think there's an issue with what Liao Chen said?"
"Of course there's an issue."
"His intentions might be good, but once in the Kunlun Void, the Demon Path's people might not be the most terrifying."
Mo Fan turned to Chen Xiaoyue: "Senior Sister, if the Demon Path's people are not scary, then who is?"
Li Feng's eyes narrowed, instantly understanding Chen Xiaoyue's underlying implication: if even the enemy isn't scary, then the scary ones are only our own people.
"You're saying them?"
Li Nianqing sighed beside her: "You're right, there's a great opportunity in Kunlun Void, but not everyone can encounter it."
"Thus, in pursuit of this opportunity, various sects and the top ten families might resort to underhandedness, with so matters understood unspoken by all."
"Otherwise, why do the sects and even the top ten families remain opposed, and rarely communicate because we are not united as one, but rather competitors."
Mo Fan listened, took a deep breath.
"Then what is the significance of our journey into Kunlun Void?"
Li Feng looked at Mo Fan, who frowned.
"It's simple, at least with the threat of the Demon Path, those of us here can maintain so unity, and with our numbers, we won't let the Demon Path gain too much advantage."
"And the reason all families sent people here is to seize more opportunities, as Kunlun restricts numbers each ti the Kunlun Void opens, and there's finally an extra chance, which they naturally want to grasp."
While Li Feng and others whispered among themselves, soone holding a wine glass proactively approached from nearby.
"Hello everyone, I am Luo Jin from the Luo Family."
"Are you outstanding disciples of the Mo Yin Sect, a pleasure to et you."
Li Feng raised his eyes to the approaching man, twenty-seven or eight years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, quite handso and charming, definitely a ladies' favorite.
Luo Family, ranked towards the bottom among the top ten families in Ancient Martial Arts, is skilled with hundred weapons, hence known as Hundred Weapons Luo Family.
As soone proactively greeted them, Li Feng and others naturally couldn't be impolite, and introduced themselves one by one.
"I've long heard of the famous Mo Yin Sect's Chen Xiaoyue."
"You're the brilliant Li Nianqing, I've heard a lot about you, didn't expect such beauty."
Li Feng looked at Luo Jin, who spoke sweet words like honey; this guy was quite the charr indeed.
Mo Fan looked displeased at Luo Jin exchanging pleasantries with Chen Xiaoyue and Li Nianqing.
"Do you know him?"
"Why?" Li Feng asked Mo Fan.
"He's known as Ancient Martial Arts' biggest scoundrel, reportedly once beca a live-in son-in-law of the Zhou Family and had multiple affairs before things went sour, with at least half the top ten families wanting him dead."
"Eh."
Li Feng felt a bit awkward, a live-in son-in-law; was this guy also a live-in husband?
Xiang Tian glanced at Mo Fan; didn't he know this guy was also once a live-in son-in-law.
Is this veiled criticism?
Mo Fan realized his mistake, quickly coughed: "I didn't an you."
Luckily at this mont.
Li Nianqing turned the conversation to Li Feng and the others.
"This is Xiang Tian from the Xiang Family, Mo Fan from the Mo Yin Sect, and Li Feng."
"Xiang Tian from the Xiang Family, a pleasure to et you, though not among the top ten families, the Xiang Family surely has qualification to be ranked among them."
"Brother Xiang, let's exchange contacts; let's keep in touch."
anwhile, Mo Fan and Li Feng were once again overlooked.
At this mont.
"You are Li Feng."
A lodious, crisp voice sounded from behind Luo Jin; Luo Jin turned side and slightly inhaled, eyes widened.
"Could you be the number one beauty in Ancient Martial Arts, Xiao Luobing."
Li Feng heard Luo Jin's words and also glimpsed at the supposed number one beauty in Ancient Martial Arts; in terms of looks, she had a graceful charm, even exuding a hint of immortal energy, so much that Wang Jin'er might find herself outmatched.
Indeed, called the number one beauty, she certainly lived up to it.
However, he seed not to know her.
