Ming Dao walked over, looked at Xie Feng, pointed to an empty spot on the table, and politely smiled, "Sir, is this seat taken? May we sit?"
Xie Feng responded with a smile, "Of course!"
After receiving permission, Ming Dao and his two companions sat down politely.
Their unusual behavior did not meet the expectations of the onlookers, who were all somewhat shocked and puzzled.
They craned their necks, wanting to see more.
One of the Demon-Burying Clan members glared fiercely, and only then did the others turn back to their meals.
The waiter, steeling himself, approached and stammered, "Three... three people, what would you like to eat?"
Ming Dao glanced narrowly at the food on Xie Feng's table and said calmly, "Three servings of the same food as this young master and lady. Do you have any wine? Two jars, please!"
The waiter accepted the order and left.
Soon, the food was served, and two large jars of wine were laid out.
The three members of the Demon-Burying Clan drank from large bowls.
Xie Feng and Jin Yue were eating their meal when suddenly, Na Ming Dao approached Xie Feng and offered him a bowl of wine. "Brother, want some? Autumn is getting stronger, and the wind is quite cold. A drink will warm you up!"
Xie Feng said, "I don't drink."
Ming Dao laughed heartily, "Is it that you don't want to drink, or that you don't want to drink with me?"
At this moment, Jin Yue glanced at him and said coldly, "Sorry, we're not acquainted!"
Ming Dao gave an awkward laugh and took back the wine bowl.
His two henchmen behind him were a little angry, glaring at Jin Yue, wanting to say something, but were stopped by a look from Ming Dao.
"Gentlemen, eating alone is no fun. Why don't we chat? Look at everyone around us, they're all terrified of me, but you two are so calm and unconcerned. I am Ming Dao from the Demon-Burying Clan. May I ask your honorable names?" Ming Dao asked with a smile.
That smile sent a chill down Xie Feng's spine.
It's like a smile hiding a knife.
Xie Feng said, " Misty Rain Island, Lu Xun, this is my wife."
Upon hearing this, Ming Dao raised an eyebrow. He suddenly leaned closer to Xie Feng, lowered his voice, and smiled mysteriously, "I wonder if you are a true Lu Xun, or a fake Lu Xun?"
Xie Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and his brows furrowed involuntarily!
This person!
It seems to be talking about something very new!
Ming Dao continued with a low chuckle, "Aren't you curious why I knew you were an imposter? Because the real Lu Xun couple had a disagreement with me on the street, and I killed them on the spot..."
Xie Feng: "..."
A smug look appeared on Ming Dao's face. "Now that I know this secret, are you panicking? Afraid I'll reveal it? Want to kill me?"
"You really want me to kill you? Well, that depends on your performance," Xie Feng said casually.
"Hmph, stubborn as a mule! Let me tell you, no one here is a simpleton. The highlight of the banquet is an auction, and you'll have to get me the final item!" Ming Dao said.
What are the benefits?
"The advantage is... that they won't expose you to Peak of Heaven!"
"No way! Are you kidding me? Even if you expose me, I'm not afraid." Xie Feng shrugged expressionlessly.
Ming Dao was stunned for a moment. He thought he had grasped Xie Feng's weakness. As long as he held onto this fatal weakness, the other party would definitely obey him.
However...
Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh!
This is not what he imagined!
He was a little annoyed. "You're definitely being stubborn! Actually, you're terrified!"
Xie Feng sneered, "You can go find Feng Yan right now, expose me to him, and reveal my true identity, so that everyone in Peak of Heaven can come and kill me!"
Ming Dao frowned. "Why the hell are you so self-righteous?"
Xie Feng straightened his back and calmly said, "Some people, you never know what their trump card is, and those are the people you should never mess with. I'm talking about me, understand?"
The reason he was so confident was actually quite simple: he couldn't afford to be weak! His opponent was hoping he would be weak! At that moment, he had to be fearless to scare his opponent away!
This trick has proven to be very effective!
Ming Dao seemed somewhat apprehensive. He said, "I don't know who you are, but your cultivation level is the most difficult for me to discern, so I suspect you are a mysterious powerhouse. All you need to do is help me obtain the last unique item at the auction..."
"Give me a piece of land! The best piece of land in the Demon-Burying Clan! A piece of land with good fortune! Spiritual Qi! Powerful energy! And mineral resources!"
Xie Feng interrupted him.
Ming Dao fell silent. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Alright! If you succeed, I'll give you the best piece of land!"
Xie Feng smiled slightly, "Tell me more about this auction; I don't know much about it."
Ming Dao said, "My information is also very limited. I only know that the last item auctioned that day is an unparalleled treasure, and its secret is extremely tight. Only a few people, Feng Yan, know about it!"
Xie Feng said, "I understand."
After finishing their meal, everyone returned to their respective residences.
As night fell, Xie Feng did not rest, but instead sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating and cultivating. He closed his eyes and slowly exhaled.
A wisp of energy lingered around him.
Because his cultivation has reached a certain level, he no longer needs to make a huge noise when his strength increases, unlike in the Origin Realm or other universes. Under normal circumstances, it is all very quiet.
Unless the energy is released externally.
To avoid alerting others, Xie Feng controlled his energy, circulating it only within his body.
It was the middle of the night.
A deep, resonant sound came from within him—he had broken through!
God Grade, Intermediate!
With his current true strength, even though he is only at the Intermediate God Grade, he has crossed a major realm and could easily fight against Intermediate God King!
Xie Feng opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
He rested his chin on his hand in deep thought. His purpose in coming to Peak of Heaven was exactly what Long Cangxue had mentioned before: his senior brother's physical body was right here.
Now that we've penetrated deep inside, we can't just sit here and do nothing; we need to go and investigate!
Thinking this, he stood up and walked to the door and window. Suddenly, a purple light flashed past the window, carrying a strong spiritual aura!
Xie Feng's gaze darkened slightly, and he silently followed.
The purple light sped towards a certain back mountain, where the vast snowfield, reflected in the moonlight, appeared dazzlingly silvery-white.
The purple light flew along for a while, then suddenly stopped.
This was a young man dressed in purple, with black hair that flew wildly back, making him look very energetic.
The man in purple had an icy gaze as he turned to look at the boundless snowfield behind him. "You've been following me all this way. Come out!"
"You have good eyesight to spot me." A man in a blue robe emerged from the snowstorm, smiling amiably; it was Xie Feng.
The man in purple crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. "You didn't try to hide it at all. Rather than saying I have good eyesight, it's more like you wanted me to find out!"
Xie Feng exclaimed in surprise, "It's rare to see someone with such a sharp mind."
The man in purple, hearing his sarcastic tone, became somewhat annoyed. "I don't know you, what are you doing following me?"
Xie Feng smiled, narrowing his eyes as he stared at the man's tightly clenched hand. "I bet you have something good in your hands."
