The Fengying Conference: Face Reality

Elizabeth felt a complex mix of emotions.

There was an overwhelming joy, as if one had been granted a pardon.

There was also a vague, inexplicable emptiness.

She had expected a terrible disaster to befall her today.

But to my surprise, they were let off so easily.

However, thinking of something, Elizabeth hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking.

"Then... then Salman, and Russell..."

Xuanyuan Seventeen seemed to have anticipated her question and replied calmly.

"My brother said that if he said he wouldn't hold it against us, then he means he won't."

"Those two hanging from those trees are nothing but two ignorant fools."

"We in Dong Huang don't keep fools. If you Feng Ying people like him, just bring him down and take him with you. It's better to keep him out of sight."

Elizabeth was finally relieved to hear this.

She quickly ordered her attendants to remove Salman and Russell from the tree.

Salman and Russell were covered in dust and looked utterly disheveled when they were brought down.

Salman was in excruciating pain throughout his body, and he could barely stand.

Where was even a trace of the majesty of Veteran King?

He was clearly a homeless dog, drained of all his strength.

Elizabeth, seeing Salman's disheveled appearance, felt both angry and helpless.

What's infuriating is that Salman, despite being Veteran King of the Fengying Country, was so arrogant and nearly brought disaster upon the Fengying Country.

Unfortunately, he was, after all, a citizen of the Fengying Country and a disciple of Heavenly King Freya.

What could she, as a princess, do to handle this?

We can only take it back for now and then discuss it further.

Salman was also filled with grief, indignation, and humiliation at that moment.

When had he, Veteran King, ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace?

It was hung from a tree like a dead dog for people to watch.

He wanted to curse loudly, but when he thought of Su Ye's terrifying methods, he swallowed his anger.

He could only lower his head and let the attendants from the Fengying Country help him walk out in a disheveled state.

Before leaving, Elizabeth stopped and looked back at Xuanyuan Seventeen, who was standing at the door.

She gave Xuanyuan Seventeen a deep look, then bowed slightly in greeting.

"Thank you for your mercy today, Miss Seventeen."

Elizabeth will always remember this kindness.

"When I return, I will report this truthfully to my King, Fengying Country will surely repay you handsomely in the future."

Xuanyuan Seventeen merely raised his chin arrogantly, turned his face away, and acted as if he couldn't be bothered to pay her any attention.

"Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense, all that empty talk."

"Get out of here, don't get in my way."

Seeing this, Elizabeth said no more, turned around and led the people of Fengying Country away from the Xuanyuan Manor in a dejected manner.

It's late at night.

That Birthday Banquet that shook the Blue Star finally came to a close.

The guests dispersed in twos and threes.

But the aftershocks of that night were only just beginning to take effect.

News of the Birthday Banquet seemed to have sprouted wings, spreading to every corner of the Blue Star overnight.

Martial arts schools, shopping malls, clubs, and even short videos online are all discussing just how grand and extravagant Old Master Xuanyuan's birthday Birthday Banquet was.

"Have you heard? Even the reclusive Xu Family and the Buddhist monks from Yuanshan Temple personally attended Old Master Xuanyuan's Birthday Banquet!"

"That's not all! The general from the Northern Barrens and the commander of the Xi Rong Knights have also come, each one with an incredibly powerful background!"

"The most amazing thing is that even the princess of the Fengying Country personally came to offer her birthday wishes!"

"That scene, wow, you probably can't find another like it on the entire Blue Star."

The more they talked, the more amazed they became.

The older generation couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The Xuanyuan Family is truly a different family now than it used to be."

"Although the Xuanyuan Family was Aristocratic Family back then, they weren't among the very top-tier families on this Blue Star."

"But now that this Birthday Banquet has been held, who would dare to underestimate the Xuanyuan Family in the slightest?"

"In the end, it's all because the Xuanyuan Family has gained a good grandson... Su Ye."

"That's right, Heavenly King Qi Ye! He's Ruthless Person personally slew the Demon Race Progenitor! With him backing the Xuanyuan Family, it's hard for them not to prosper."

"When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

This may sound crude, but it's a very true statement.

However, what everyone was more interested in than the scale of the Birthday Banquet was something else entirely...

How did Su Ye, the Heavenly King Qi Ye, teach Salman, the Veteran King of the Fengying Country, a lesson at his Birthday Banquet?

"You didn't see it with your own eyes, it was absolutely exhilarating!"

A guest who witnessed the entire event began to recount the story with great enthusiasm and animated expression.

"That Salman is King descended from the Divine Realm, and a disciple of the Second Heavenly King Freya!"

"The moment he arrived, he intimidated everyone and even detained that Old Master Xuanyuan!"

"That's incredibly arrogant and domineering!"

And the result?

People around them kept asking questions.

"Result?"

The guest slapped his thigh.

"The moment Su Ye made his move, good heavens, Salman didn't even have a chance to fight back!"

"He was just casually pinched, the vine was crushed, and then he was just tossed aside, ending up hanging from the tree!"

"Hanging in a tree?!"

The crowd gasped in surprise.

"Is that even possible?"

The guest smiled smugly.

"A Veteran King, left hanging from a tree to be watched by everyone, not daring to utter a sound!"

"I'll never forget that scene!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

Salman, he's Veteran King!

On Blue Star, even a member of the Royal Family is respectfully addressed as a "Royal Descendant," holding an unparalleled position of prestige.

But Salman, a seasoned Veteran King, couldn't even withstand a single move from Su Ye?

Just how powerful is the Heavenly King Qi Ye?

"Terrifying! Terrifying indeed!"

"How long has it been? Heavenly King Su Ye has already reached such a level of strength."

"No wonder even the Demon Race Progenitor died at his hands."

Everyone chimed in, getting more and more excited as they talked.

His expression suggested that he had personally experienced that triumphant confrontation.

While praising Su Ye's strength, everyone couldn't help but marvel at the power of Dong Huang.

"Speaking of which, the Fengying Country is truly ignorant of its own limitations."

"What kind of time is this to dare to come to Dong Huang's territory and provoke us?"

"Isn't that right? Nowadays, eight or nine out of ten of humanity's Supreme Strongman individuals are from the Donghuang People!"

"Which of those three High God wasn't from the Dong Huang?"

"And how many of those newly crowned Heavenly King aren't from the Donghuang People?"

"Not to mention, there's Su Ye, Ruthless Person capable of slaying the Demon Race Progenitor, in charge."

" With Dong Huang like this, the Fengying Country probably couldn't even withstand a single breath from it."

"Before, with the Second Heavenly King backing it up, Feng Ying could still go toe-to-toe with Dong Huang. Now? Second Heavenly King Freya, would have to treat Su Ye with utmost respect, wouldn't she?"

"My lord, times have changed!"

These words expressed the sentiments of countless people.

Once upon a time, Dong Huang and Feng Ying were evenly matched on Blue Star.

With the backing of the Second Heavenly King Heavenly King Hall, the Fengying Country enjoys immense prestige on Blue Star.

But now...

In the battle against the Demon Race Clan, countless powerful figures emerged in the Dong Huang.

The throne of the Supreme Strongman human being was almost entirely occupied by Donghuang People.

However, the Fengying Country remained basking in its former glory, indulging in unrealistic dreams.

This is probably the cruelest part of reality...

If you don't strive for progress and remain complacent with past achievements, you can only watch helplessly as the times cruelly abandon you.
