In fact, a hierarchy of contempt exists within the Heavenly Mystery Continent.
The most obvious example is that people outside the desert look down on the forces within the desert, considering them to be insignificant ants.
These forces in the desert, such as the Desolate Corps, would think that outsiders are more hypocritical, even though they would eventually kill and plunder for profit, they would still pretend to be so.
Therefore, on the day the Desolate Corps's banquet began, it seemed as if all the other external forces had agreed to it, and no external force came to the banquet!
This made the members of the Desolate Corps look extremely grim.
Looking at the long tables that had been set up, laden with fine wine and delicacies, yet no one sat down!
Only the local forces of the desert came to show their support.
"Hey, Huang Mangzi, they don't seem to respect your Desolate Corps." A very obese man sitting below, eating and drinking heartily, laughed loudly, holding a leg of lamb in his hand. "Holding a banquet? This kind of feast is just making a fool of yourself!"
" Sha Hai, are you trying to provoke me into war with your Sand Sea Sect by making sarcastic remarks?" Huang Mangzi said coldly, looking at Sha Hai. "Those outsiders not coming is not only disrespectful to my Desolate Corps, but also to all the brothers in the desert."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other members of the group also turned cold.
Sha Hai also stopped chewing, and his expression slowly darkened.
He spat out the meat he hadn't even swallowed yet!
"That makes sense. So, what do you plan to do?"
Just as Huang Mangzi was about to say something, someone rushed over, knelt before Huang Mangzi, and shouted, "Commander, something terrible has happened! Those outsiders have set up a banquet at the Desert Tavern, and people from those foreign forces are gathered there!"
Upon hearing this, not only Huang Mangzi, but also the leaders of the Sha Hai and other forces cursed angrily and overturned the long table in front of them.
The Huang Mangzi grinned maliciously, pulling at the scar that ran across his right cheek, and laughed angrily, "So disrespectful? Sha Hai, didn't you ask me what I wanted to do? Since they're not coming, then we'll go over there!"
"In the desert, in this small piece of land in this Desolate City, what right do they have to be arrogant?!"
"Brothers, follow me!"
As Huang Mangzi and Sha Hai led the way toward the desert tavern, a group of people quickly followed.
That's right, no force from outside the desert attended the banquet invited by the Desolate Corps.
Ye Qiubai was also somewhat puzzled. When he asked Tan Zongzhao, Tan Zongzhao laughed and said, "Going there is pointless. It's just to establish authority and show you whose territory this is."
"Moreover, given the nature of the Desolate Corps, they probably won't be able to leave without leaving something behind."
Ye Qiubai and the others nodded.
The Crown Prince smiled and said, "Besides, going there would only be a sign of weakness to them, which is not a good thing for a powerful dynasty like ours."
The Divine Dynasty needs absolute authority; if it is suppressed by the Desolate Corps, it will suffer losses to its national fortune to some extent.
The banquet here was hosted by the Xuanming Holy Son.
It seems this was also to make the forces of the desert believe that even if they came to the Desolate City and into their territory, they were not to be slaughtered at will.
The banquet at the desert tavern didn't seem as extravagant as that of the Desolate Corps, but it had the advantage of having a large number of people...
The people from the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty naturally sat together with the people from the Chaotic Spirit Academy.
Jiu Bailu also attended the banquet.
When the Xuanming Holy Son, who was directly in front, saw Jiu Bailu, his face lit up with surprise and he quickly stepped forward, saying, " Bailu, you've come too?"
Jiu Bailu nodded slightly to the Xuanming Holy Son, then ignored him.
Xuanming Holy Son was already quite used to this attitude.
After glancing to the side and greeting the Crown Prince, he saw Xiao Hei and his group, and his expression immediately froze.
"Oh? So you specially recruited students can represent Chaotic Spirit Academy in this secret realm?" Xuanming Holy Son looked at Xiao Hei and sneered, "Where's that talisman master who only knows how to cower in the back? Why didn't he come this time? Could it be that he's too scared to come when faced with a situation where only direct confrontation is possible?"
The person Xuanming Holy Son was referring to was naturally Mu Fusheng.
The crown prince frowned slightly.
Tan Zongzhao then looked at the Xuanming Holy Son and said coldly, "Holy Son, are you teaching our Chaotic Spirit Academy how to do things?"
Xuanming Holy Son's expression faltered slightly. He looked at Tan Zongzhao and chuckled, "So it's Brother Tan. How could I dare? I naturally cannot interfere with what Chaotic Spirit Academy wants to do."
"So you're questioning the people our Chaotic Spirit Academy selected?" Tan Zongzhao interrupted Xuanming Holy Son without any politeness, his voice low and harsh, showing no respect whatsoever!
In the past, Tan Zongzhao might have given them face, but since Xuanming Holy Son publicly insulted Xiao Hei and the others, and now that Xiao Hei and the others are also from the Chaotic Spirit Academy, he naturally couldn't tolerate it.
Xuanming Holy Son's expression also darkened slightly.
In front of everyone, he was, after all, the holy son of a divine dynasty!
Even if the other party is from the Chaotic Spirit Academy, this is still quite a slap in the face.
"Brother Tan, what do you mean by this?"
Tan Zongzhao looked coldly at the Xuanming Holy Son, "I'd like to ask, what does the Holy Son mean by this?"
Just as the two were about to draw their swords.
Boom!
Suddenly, the dome of the restaurant was completely flattened!
"Since you all refuse to attend our Desolate Corps's banquet, then we've come uninvited!"
Everyone looked up instantly at the dark mass of people above, their expressions unchanged, as if they had already foreseen this scene.
Those who are able to come here are all top talents from various powerful forces.
They naturally knew the reason why the Xuanming Holy Son had initiated this banquet.
I already knew that the other party would come and make a scene because of this.
"Your Desolate Corps should compensate for the damage to this house."
"It seems rather inappropriate for you all to have come uninvited."
"Since you're already here, why don't you come down for a drink?"
Everyone present laughed it off.
They seemed to completely disregard the Desolate Corps.
The contempt in their words was hard to conceal.
Xuanming Holy Son and Tan Zongzhao also chose to temporarily cease hostilities at this time.
Xuanming Holy Son raised his head, looked at Huang Mangzi, and said with a smile, "Senior Huang, all guests are welcome. Why don't you come down and talk first?"
The Huang Mangzi sneered, "Talk? Do you think you can have a proper talk after you've humiliated us like this?"
The Crown Prince then laughed and said, " Huang Mangzi, do you think you can make a move? If it were just one or two, that would be one thing, but this place is where almost all the powerful forces and geniuses of the Heavenly Mystery Continent have gathered. If you dare to make a move, do you think the Desolate Corps still wants to survive?"
"Besides, we also brought our elders with us."
