Chapter 1930
Chapter 1930
"Hehe, there are many capable people in the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall. Moreover, your granddaughter's fortune is profound. She will definitely have the ending that Fellow Daoist Huang hopes for!" Li Mingzhu of Xue Yu Mountain spoke with a voice like an oriole.
"Many thanks for Fellow Daoist Li's good intentions!"
Huang Tianle smiled and waved his hand. The jade cup on the table flew up and Huang Tianle easily caught it. He raised it forward and said, "Come, I, Huang Tianle, represent the Huang Clan of Tianmen Mountain to toast everyone with a cup of spirit wine!"
"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Huang …" Everyone stood up and raised their cups with a smile.
Of course, Xiao Hua also stood up and frowned as he looked at the sparkling clear wine in the cup. He didn't like spirit wine and when he saw Huang Tianle's smile, it was clearly filled with bitterness. Under these circumstances, no matter how delicious the spirit wine was, Xiao Hua didn't have the heart to drink it. Thus, he waved his hand and sent the wine cup into the space.
Fortunately, everyone was savoring the taste of the Huang Family's spirit wine, so no one paid attention to Xiao Hua. Otherwise, this kind of situation where the wine cup disappeared after tasting the wine would be laughable.
After everyone finished drinking, Huang Tianle pointed his finger again and a wisp of dark green spirit wine poured into the wine cup from the jug. "Everyone, my Tianmen Mountain hasn't been so lively for a long time. Alas, unfortunately, it's not a happy occasion. However, since everyone came to my Huang Clan, you are still my Huang Clan's friends. In the future, if you need my Huang Clan's help, please send a message. Come, for the sake of giving my Huang Clan face, I thank everyone!"
While speaking, everyone drank the second cup in one gulp.
"Fellow Daoist Huang ~" Qu Family's Qu Yuchang smiled and said, "The spirit wine of the Huang Clan is indeed delicious. Within the coldness, there is a trace of heat. It's something that our families can't compare to. Qu Yuchang is also very willing to drink a few more cups.
However, if Fellow Daoist Huang toasts left and right like this, I'm afraid Qu will be drunk in a while and won't have the chance to treat your granddaughter! "
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Qu is joking!"
A bitter smile appeared on Huang Tianle's face. "I already knew Fellow Daoist Crooked Soul's alcohol tolerance, so how could he have gotten drunk?
Come, come, come, let this Huang propose a third toast to fellow Daoists. I beg the heavens to protect our cultivation families. Don't let the disciples of other families, and the disciples of other sects, encounter such strange things again! "
Well, since Huang Tianle had said so, no one could not help but raise their glasses. Moreover, everyone could see that Huang Tianle was drowning his sorrows in alcohol!
"Hahaha ~ Fellow Daoist Huang is indeed in a good mood. You're still in the mood to drink wine with such a big family matter!" A slightly hoarse voice rang out. It actually came from outside the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall!
"Eh? Which fellow daoist?"
Huang Tianle exclaimed in surprise. However, when he saw the short, fat, and pockmarked middle Foundation Establishment cultivator enter, his expression changed.
"What?
Fellow Daoist Huang, do you not welcome me? "
The Foundation Establishment cultivator was wearing a suit of armor. Behind him, there were two other cultivators wearing the same suit of armor. Surprisingly, they were also early stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"Hehe, so it's Fellow Daoist Shang Qinghe from Haoming City. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Shang has come by himself or on behalf of Haoming City?"
Huang Tianle asked with an indescribable smile as he held the wine cup in his hand, unable to drink any more. He stared at the cultivator's footsteps and asked.
"Is there a difference?"
Shang Qinghe did not directly answer. Instead, he walked to the front of the hall and swept his gaze across the hall. Finally, his gaze landed on a cultivation family's table not far from Huang Tianle's. He stared at the Foundation Establishment cultivator from that family and walked straight over.
Under his gaze, a trace of fear flashed through the Foundation Establishment cultivator's eyes. He slowly stood up as Shang Qinghe walked.
"Fellow Daoist, you don't mind if I sit in your seat, do you?" Shang Qinghe said coldly.
"This …" Just as the Foundation Establishment cultivator hesitated, the two early stage Foundation Establishment cultivators behind Shang Qinghe took a step forward with a whoosh!
There was no pressure, and the two of them didn't even look at the cultivator. However, the two cultivators exuded a murderous aura and a bloody aura. As a result, the cultivator trembled and involuntarily took half a step back. However, as soon as he took a step back, he came to his senses. Even so, he couldn't move forward even if he wanted to.
"Fellow Daoist Liu Fan … Hehe, please sit here!"
Huang Tianle quickly smiled and pointed at a seat closer to him. That seat was occupied by a Foundation Establishment cultivator and two Aura Refining disciples, so there was still room for them to sit next to the table.
"No need ~" Liu Fan's expression changed a few times. He was truly embarrassed. He swung his sleeves and turned to leave. The several Aura Refining disciples beside him also stood up in a hurry and wanted to leave!
"Liu Family from Chanxi. What's wrong?
Fellow Daoist Liu, do you have a problem with my arrival?
Or … do you have a problem with me taking your seat? "Shang Qinghe didn't sit down but said coldly to Liu Fan.
"What?
Fellow Daoist Shang, this is Tianmen Mountain, not Haoming City. I don't need to tell you, the captain of the city guards, what do I want to do? "Although Liu Fan was timid, he couldn't help but retort.
"Haha, of course I can only manage the order of Haoming City. The order of Tianmen Mountain definitely doesn't need me!"
Shang Qinghe laughed. "However, you want to leave as soon as I arrive. Isn't that not giving me face?"
Liu Fan gritted his teeth and looked at the people in the Vermilion Bird Palace Hall. These people had different expressions in their eyes. Some were pitiful, some were lucky, and some were mocking.
"I suddenly remembered … there's still an important thing I haven't done …" Liu Fan cupped his hands and smiled at Huang Tianle. "Therefore, I have to leave first.
Fellow Daoists … "
But just as Liu Fan turned around and cupped his hands to gesture to the cultivators in the Vermilion Bird Palace Hall, a cold light flashed in Shang Qinghe's eyes. He winked at the two city guards beside him. The cultivator on the left rubbed his hands, and a series of confinement spells were thrown at Liu Fan!
"What are you doing?"
Liu Fan certainly paid attention to the movements of Shang Qinghe and the other two. Seeing that the opponent actually launched a sneak attack, he was shocked. He hurriedly waved his hands and wanted to cast a spell.
However, just as he activated his Dharmic powers, the cultivator to the right of Shang Qinghe slapped his hand, and a silver saber that was three feet long appeared in his hand. He swung it, and there was a flash of light on the saber that was half a foot long as it sliced through Liu Fan's neck.
Poor Liu Fan. He was already trembling with fear. Seeing that someone had launched a sneak attack on him, he hurriedly counterattacked. But he didn't expect that the second city guard would actually kill him. Moreover, these two city guards cooperated well. Even Xiao Hua in the distance was surprised, so how could he dodge?
With a "pu" sound, a mouthful of hot blood spurted out from Liu Fan's decapitated neck and sprayed out over two feet for no reason. His head, which had died with his eyes wide open, also fell onto the crimson red ground of the Vermillion Bird Palace!
"Fellow Daoist Shang, what are you doing?!"
Huang Tianle was furious. He jumped out and asked, "Fellow Daoist Liu Fan is an honored guest invited by my Tianmen Mountain. How can you casually kill him in front of me?"
"Two idiots ~" Shang Qinghe ignored Huang Tianle and swung his hands. With two crisp "pa pa" sounds, he slapped the faces of the two early stage Foundation Establishment city guards. "Who told you to attack?
Didn't you see that the entire Vermilion Bird Palace Hall is filled with early stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refinement cultivators? Who can pose a threat to me?
Your actions make me have to explain myself to Fellow Daoist Huang? "
"Yes, we know our mistake!"
The two city guards' expressions didn't change at all. They turned to Huang Tianle and said, "Fellow Daoist Huang, we were eager to protect our master. We acted hastily and caused trouble. We will take responsibility for this matter. If Fellow Daoist Huang wants to punish us, we are willing to accept our punishment!"
"This …" When Huang Tianle saw this, he was so angry that his whole body trembled. However, how could he punish these two city guards?
Even if they killed people in Tianmen Mountain, he didn't have the right to kill the two city guards. Even if he could kill the two city guards, the mastermind wasn't these two people. He had offended Haoming City for no reason!
"Fellow Daoists, you are so reckless. You are really letting down the city guards!
Although I don't have the right to punish you, but … please give me your tokens. I will go to Haoming City in the future to see Daoist Master Yao Hong and ask him to uphold justice! "Huang Tianle said helplessly.
The two city guards said in unison, "We can leave our lives behind, but we can't leave our tokens behind. Please forgive us, Fellow Daoist Huang!"
"Fellow Daoist Huang, the tokens of the city guards of Haoming City are proof of identity. If you take the tokens and do something evil, how can I explain it to the City Lord?"
Shang Qinghe said coldly, "I can let you punish these two city guards, but I can't give you my tokens!"
Huang Tianle thought for a moment and sighed, "Forget it. Fellow Daoists are witnesses to this matter. I am not afraid that Haoming City will deny it. Alas, the Liu family of Chanxi will wait for this matter. I will personally go and explain it to them!"
Then, Huang Tianle waved his sleeves and returned to his seat. Several disciples of the Huang family came up and cleaned up Liu Fan's corpse. Then, they took the Qi Refinement disciples of the Liu family away and replaced the spirit wine and other things on the table.
"Come, Fellow Daoist Huang, let me offer you a toast ~" Shang Qinghe sat down and waved his hand naturally. The jade cup flew up and he said with a smile. The two early-stage Foundation Establishment city guards stood behind Shang Qinghe with their hands behind their backs.
"Fellow Daoist Shang, do you have anything else to say after drinking this wine?" Huang Tianle looked at the wine cup in front of him and said with a fake smile.
"Of course. How can I not say anything when I am here?" Shang Qinghe didn't care and said with a smile.
"In that case, Fellow Daoist Shang, please wait. I haven't finished my third toast yet!" Huang Tianle said.
"Is that so?"
Shang Qinghe released his divine sense and quickly scanned everyone in the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall. He didn't even let Xiao Hua go. However, since Xiao Hua was sitting far away and was an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the cultivators around him were all tenth stage Qi Refinement disciples except for Xue Xue, why would Shang Qinghe take him seriously?
