Chapter 443 - City Ruler’s Banquet

Chapter 443: City Ruler’s Banquet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The gathering in the wooden house only ended when night fell.

The younger generation of the human and alien species came out of the wooden door in an orderly manner and dispersed. Only a few of them traveled together.

Wen Qi rejected the young man’s offer to accompany her and left alone.

Chen Yiming realized that at a street corner, Wen Qi had lost her mature appearance and returned to her original state. She exuded a youthful aura.

When she walked out of the street corner, it was impossible to tell that they were the same person. There were not even many similarities between their appearances. Her figure was even shorter and thinner.

Most importantly, her aura had weakened greatly, and he could sense that her cultivation level had fallen back to the inscription realm.

“Special bloodline?”

“Or are there two consciousnesses in her spiritual world?”

This time, Chen Yiming used the space anchor to see the changes in Wen Qi’s body with his own eyes. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have thought that a person would have a disguise that perfect.

Furthermore, the humans and alien species at the gathering did not notice anything amiss with Wen Qi.

It was no wonder that Wen Qi could move between the Heaven Suppressing City and the forbidden death zone as the big sister of an adventurer team without being seen through.

“Perhaps the reason why this disguise is flawless is because one of the two identities will fall into a deep sleep while the other is active. It’s also because of this that Wen Qi didn’t notice the slight spatial fluctuations when I placed the space anchor on her.”

Chen Yiming wasn’t sure if Wen Qi had noticed it or not. It was also possible that she had noticed it but pretended that nothing had happened.

He decided to pay more attention to Wen Qi’s movements while laying low in the future.

For example, at the gathering today, with the help of the information provided by Wen Qi, he had learned a lot about the south mountain range and also a lot about Gao Shuai.

This was much more reliable than asking random passers-by or finding out on his own.

At night,

the city ruler’s residence in the center of the Heaven Suppressing City was brightly lit. Elite soldiers of the Heaven Suppressing Army could be seen everywhere, and the entire residence was guarded tightly.

Although only those who held invitations were qualified to attend the city ruler’s banquet, it did not stop many people from coming to the surrounding area to wait for the city ruler to use the banquet to announce something.

The ruler of Heaven Suppressing City was above the jade star realm, and was on the same level as the powerful elders of the large clans in the universe. He was a big shot even in the south mountain range.

Chen Yiming followed the crowd to a street near the city ruler’s residence.

There were many humans and alien species around him who were just joining in the fun. It did not seem strange at all for him to be there, and no one would check his identity.

At this moment, a middle-aged man handed over something that looked like a candy strip to him and said enthusiastically, “Brother, do you want to try it? It’s handmade by my family.”

Was this a popular snack in the south mountain range?

Chen Yiming glanced at him, not knowing what the middle-aged man’s motive was. He quickly rejected him. “Thank you. I’ve been fasting for a long time for my cultivation.”

The middle-aged man did not force him. He put away the candy strip and popped one in his mouth. He smiled and said,

“Brother, you’ve cultivated to the level of a god at such a young age. You don’t look like you belong to any faction. Aren’t you going to consider taking the initiative to apply for the right to participate in the banquet?”

Chen Yiming replied, “Aren’t you also staying outside to watch? You didn’t apply to attend the banquet either.”

Chen Yiming had already heard about the rumors of people taking the initiative to apply for the right to participate in the banquet. The requirement was to be one of the younger generation at the star condensation realm.

However, if he registered to enter the city ruler’s residence, he would definitely attract attention for no reason. It would not be beneficial for him when he was secretly causing trouble, so he naturally did not consider it.

The middle-aged man changed the topic.

“I think this Infinite Island Group is probably going to cause a huge commotion in the south mountain range. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the city ruler’s faction is involved in the incident with the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop.”

“I wonder why the city ruler specially organized a banquet. The people he invited are all from the younger generation of the various factions.”

Chen Yiming said casually, “The younger generation of the various factions can be his messengers. Perhaps he is really going to provide an explanation to the public?”

“After all, something happened at the South Palace Source Ore Workshop. According to the public news, the ‘Heavenly Eye’ from their bloodline was actually dug out by someone.”

The middle-aged man continued with a smile, “What’s there to explain? We all know this. So what if cultivators like us know about it? What can we do?”

“I think it might be to build a stage for one of the descendants of the city ruler. He’s about to come out into the world to train, so he can make use of the situation to make a name for himself.”

Chen Yiming fell silent. That seemed to be the case. Otherwise, why would the people invited be from the younger generation? It looked more like an exchange.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, a silver light streaked across the sky.

This light was a woman with silver wings. Her entire body seemed to be made of silver, and she had long silver hair that flowed like a waterfall, as well as a pair of cold eyes.

When the woman folded her wings, the light on her body gradually faded. Then, she walked barefoot into the city ruler’s residence. Along the way, she was not stopped or checked by anyone.

“It’s the goddess of the silver-winged clan. Her slender legs, silver skin, thin waist, and perky butt are really attractive.”

“It’s said that she mastered the speed talent since she was born. There are few opponents of the same level who can match her speed. She cultivated all the way to the level of a god before leaving the clan’s territory. I didn’t expect her to appear in Heaven Suppressing City.”

The middle-aged man stared intently as he revealed the silver-winged woman’s background.

At the same time, almost everyone’s gazes were fixed on the silver-winged woman. In other words, they were sizing her up from head to toe with burning gazes.

There were many people who wanted to take the silver-winged woman into their arms. Usually, no one would dare to stare at her so openly. They only dared to do it now because so many people were present doing the same thing.

Chen Yiming couldn’t help but stare at the silver-winged woman as well.

Speed talent?

How was it compared to the space anchor talent?

If there was a chance, he would have a chance to give it a try.

Naturally, he would not admit that he was actually interested in her. This interest was far more than his interest in comparing their speed. Furthermore, with his space-manipulation talent, he could tell with his naked eye that there was no need for comparison.

Soon, another black light fell from the sky.

The second person to attend the banquet was a man covered in black lightning. He was protected by metal armor and held a divine spear.

As soon as he appeared, he suppressed the entire place with a violent aura. Furthermore, he had no intention of hiding his aura. The entire Heaven Suppressing City felt as if it was facing a thunderstorm.

Even the energy barrier in the sky seemed to be unable to withstand it, and cracking sounds rang out.

“The war god of the Thunder Cloud Group, Wang Cheng. Isn’t this ferocious person training in a dangerous place? Why is he here in the Heaven Suppressing City?”

Many people exclaimed.

Most people were still attracted to the silver-winged woman’s beauty when she arrived. In their hearts, they still treated her as an outstandingly talented girl who had just started out on her cultivation path.

Speed talent? There were ways to counter it.

However, the arrival of Wang Cheng was different. His title of war god had been obtained through his achievements.

There were countless people or factions who had indirectly suffered losses at his hands. However, they could only grit their teeth and swallow their resentment. There was no way they could defeat the other party.

In addition, there were existences above the jade star realm presiding over the Thunder Cloud Group. It was on a small planet that could move around, and no one dared to bully Wang Cheng.

The middle-aged man said excitedly, “Even Wang Cheng is here. Looks like there’s going to be a good show to watch. Tonight, if there isn’t some news that shakes the entire south mountain range, the faction of the city ruler will lose face.”

Chen Yiming raised an eyebrow.

Wang Cheng was just a guy who had mastered black lightning and had some physical talent. Such an opponent could be dealt with in a few punches. Was there a need to make such a fuss?

If he laid low for a while longer and obtained enough essence energy to upgrade his two talents, he could even teach the city ruler a lesson.

Next, just as countless people were exclaiming about the deeds of Wang Cheng, more young geniuses who had been invited arrived. Streams of light streaked across the sky one after another.

These young geniuses who had been invited were attending the banquet in a high-profile manner.

A child holding a heavy hammer landed on the ground, causing the Heaven Suppressing City to shake. He was short and had a young face, but there was a shocking aura coming from his body. One could not judge a book by its cover.

“A child?”

“Child, my ass. That appearance is a sign he mastered the Virgin Technique. If he retains his virginity, his cultivation speed can increase by leaps and bounds.”

Although people knew that he cultivated the Virgin Technique, not many knew what this entailed.

The next person to arrive was a snakeman from the feathered snake clan. This was the person Chen Yiming had seen when spying on Wen Qi.

As soon as he appeared, the surroundings instantly turned cold. A layer of frost seemed to have formed on the ground. The dangerous aura made the onlookers, who were also at the star condensation realm, secretly vigilant.

“What!”

Someone could not help but gasp.

This was the same as Wang Cheng. There were many examples of people who had left behind famous achievements in the south mountain range who had died at this person’s hands or been wiped out by him.

He was also not someone who could be provoked easily. There were people who had formed grudges with him and even used the people beside them to hide from him, afraid that they would be seen.

Very quickly, within a few minutes, all the invited people appeared.

A total of 20 to 30 people entered the city ruler’s residence one by one.

Chen Yiming paid special attention to look out for Wen Qi and realized that she hadn’t participated. Instead, she had left the Heaven Suppressing City by herself.

“Forget it. No matter what she’s up to, let’s wait for this matter to end first.”

“Unless Wen Qi goes far away from the Heaven Suppressing City, it won’t be difficult to find her again after walking around the vicinity in my super perceptive state.”

On second thought, if Wen Qi went far away, it meant that the space anchor he had left on her had been exposed. However, as long as she did not have the ability to remove it, it would not be difficult for him to chase after her.

At this moment, as these young geniuses disappeared from everyone’s sight, the atmosphere around the city ruler’s residence was stirred up. The anticipation for the news from this banquet caused countless people to engage in discussion.

In the city ruler’s residence, exquisite white lamps were hung on the walls on both sides of the corridor. Lotus lamps hung above their heads, making every passage and corner as bright as day.

In the spacious hall, a banquet was being held. Light music rang out, and delicacies were already prepared. The invited people interacted with each other from time to time.

The city ruler had yet to appear. One of the city ruler’s sons, Li Wenfeng, was temporarily entertaining everyone.

He had a handsome face and was wearing a white robe. His figure was elegant, and he looked like a gentleman.

The name of the Heaven Suppressing City was naturally related to the city ruler.

Each of the descendants of the city ruler had an extremely strong physique. When they were young, they already had the ability to tear apart dire beasts with their bare hands and destroy mountains and rivers.

Li Wenfeng could be considered an anomaly among them. He did not have a strong physique, even though his cultivation level had reached the star condensation realm. His cultivation level was not inferior to any of the invited people present.

“Li Wenfeng, we’ve already eaten. Everyone is here. Where’s your father, the city ruler?”

a man in a gorgeous robe with a small mark between his eyebrows took the lead and asked impatiently.

As soon as she finished speaking, the wide hall fell silent, and only soft music could be heard.

The man who spoke was from the Purple Pill Sect. It was a faction in the south mountain range that had a close relationship with the source ore shops and was famous for their unique alchemy techniques.

However, the divine pill that was also valuable to the gods required essence energy as one of the ingredients. Therefore, he was actually participating in the banquet with the intention of seeking an explanation from the city ruler’s faction.

Of course, there were many young geniuses representing the various large factions present. He was not afraid that the city ruler would play any tricks, so he took the lead to question him.

At the same time, the others present focused their gazes on Li Wenfeng.

With the incidents at the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop, the South Palace Source Ore Workshop, and the Illusion Source rOe Workshop, everyone did not come to the banquet just to eat. Instead, they were directly waiting for an explanation.

If the city ruler could not give an acceptable explanation, the factions related to the source ore shops would retreat from the city without hesitation. f𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.co𝓶

“Everyone, don’t be anxious. Father has instructed me to treat you well. There’s still a cultivation exchange later. With such a good opportunity, I believe everyone will benefit from it.”

Li Wenfeng’s expression remained the same as he easily deflected the question.

Exchange?

Everyone present was a genius in the southern mountain range. They all had their own pride and believed that they were among the top of their generation.

However, they were unwilling to participate in this exchange under the watch of the city ruler. Wasn’t this exposing their talent, secret techniques, secret treasures, and other tricks?

At this moment, some people’s expressions started to turn ugly. They felt that they should not have come to the banquet.

“Li Wenfeng, you’ve already lost to me previously in the ice river forbidden zone. Hurry up and contact your father. Don’t waste everyone’s time.”

A cold voice sounded.

The silver-winged woman had spoken.

As soon as she finished speaking, it attracted the surprised gazes of everyone present. It turned out that Li Wenfeng had already lost to the silver-winged woman. If she had not said it today, the others would not have known.

“My cultivation talent is only average in the clan. The Li clan arranged for someone else to participate in the exchange,” Li Wenfeng smiled awkwardly and quickly explained.

Hearing this, the face of the city ruler’s faction was immediately saved. After all, Li Wenfeng was not a true representative of this generation.
