Chapter 4171: The Banquet for the Mansion Masters

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Many people were looking at Duan Ling Tian as he greeted Yun He.

“Brother Yun He.”

There was a mix of old, middle-aged, and young people among these people. All of them possessed extraordinary bearing. Whether it was the kind old man or the handsome young man, they all possessed the bearing of someone with high status.

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by this. After all, he knew these people were the mansion masters in the Righteous Divine Kingdom. They were all advanced Emperors of Gods without exception. It was only natural they possessed such a bearing after holding such a high position for such a long time.

Yun He nodded to Duan Ling Tian before he said to everyone, “Let’s go.”

Then, Yun He flew away, leading the others to the palace of the Righteous Divine Kingdom.

During the journey, a few mansion masters took the initiative to greet Duan Ling Tian.

“Hello, you must be the new Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion.”

Duan Ling Tian replied modestly, “I’m just the interim mansion master.”

“Mansion Master Duan, you’re too modest. With your strength and talent, if you’re willing, it won’t be a problem for you to become the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion.”

“Mansion Master Duan, I’ve seen the Floating Mirror Image of you defeating the advanced Emperor of Gods despite being a rudimentary Emperor of Gods. How amazing! Before that, I didn’t even think it was possible for a rudimentary Emperor of Gods to defeat an advanced Emperor of Gods!”

“Mansion Master Duan, you look rather young, but you’ve already comprehended such a powerful Sword Dao. Did you comprehend it on your own or did your master teach you?”

Those who spoke to Duan Ling Tian were those who acknowledged Duan Ling Tian’s strength. Conversely, those who did not speak to Duan Ling Tian were mostly those who did not think much of Duan Ling Tian’s strength. In their opinion, if Duan Ling Tian’s opponent had used his prominent divine artifact soul, his opponent might have been able to kill Duan Ling Tian. Nonetheless, despite their silence, they were listening carefully to the conversation.

Duan Ling Tian continued to respond modestly when faced with the various mansion master’s admiration. He also told them that he had learned the Sword Dao from his master, shocking the mansion masters present on the scene.

Even those mansion masters who doubted Duan Ling Tian’s strength were frightened by his words.

‘What kind of powerhouse is able to make such a monstrous prodigy accept him as a master?!’

Although some of them doubted Duan Ling Tian and thought that Duan Ling Tian won because of petty tricks or his opponent’s lack of chance to use a prominent divine artifact, they did not doubt the strength of his master. After all, despite their doubt, they could not deny that Duan Ling Tian was a prodigy.

Yun He, who was leading the way, froze briefly as well when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. Then, he asked, “Brother Ling Tian, you have a master?”

Yun He had long guessed that Duan Ling Tian had an extraordinary background, and he speculated that Duan Ling Tian came to the Righteous Divine Kingdom to improve his strength. However, he was still shocked when he heard that Duan Ling Tian had a master who taught him the Sword Dao.

When Yun He arrived, he did not waste time and informed Zhu Ying Jun about what he had learned through Voice Transmission.

Zhu Ying Jun was similarly shocked. He also wondered how powerful Duan Ling Tian’s master was. However, he naturally did not ask Duan Ling Tian about it. After all, it was likely that Duan Ling Tian would not reveal anything.

Meanwhile, when the mansion masters of the various Mansions in the Righteous Divine Kingdom saw Zhu Ying Jun, they greeted him in unison.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

Duan Ling Tian was the only one who smiled and called out, “Greetings, Brother Zhu.”

Upon hearing this, the other mansion masters thought Duan Ling Tian was being too arrogant. After all, Zhu Ying Jun was the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom, how could Duan Ling Tian address him as ‘Brother Zhu’? However, when they saw Zhu Ying Jun nodding and smiling at Duan Ling Tian, they finally realized that Zhu Ying Jun had given Duan Ling Tian permission to address him as ‘Brother Zhu’. With this, all of them looked at Duan Ling Tian enviously.

Since everyone had arrived, Zhu Ying Jun told everyone to take their seats, which had been arranged beforehand.

As soon as they were seated, the food and drinks were quickly brought out. They were served the best dishes and wine. The fragrance of the food and drinks seemed to invigorate them, making their Divine Energies surge in their bodies.

Apart from Duan Ling Tian, all of them were advanced Emperors of Gods. For them to be affected in such a way, it was obvious that the food and drinks were extraordinary. It was obvious that the royal family of the Righteous Divine Kingdom did not spare any expense when preparing for the banquet.

As such, many of them expressed their gratitude to Zhu Ying Jun.

“My lord, to serve us with such food and wine, your generosity really knows no bounds.”

A few of them stared at the food and drinks on their tables with bright eyes.

“The dragon soup, the Primordial Sun Clear Soup, the Good Fortune Divine Wine…”

Although Duan Ling Tian could not name the dishes and wine, he could still tell they were precious.

At this time, Zhu Ying Jun chuckled and said, “There’s no need to be so polite. Let’s start the banquet…”

After Zhu Ying Jun began to eat, everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, followed suit.

Initially, Duan Ling Tian assumed the food would only strengthen his body, but after he began to eat, he discovered that he had been wrong. After eating, not only were his Heavenly Veins strengthened, but his Divine Energy grew restless as well. After his Divine Energy circulated a few times in his body, he could instantly feel the improvement in his strength.

When he ate the other dishes, he found that some of them made his skin glow. Not only that, but it was as though he had shed a layer of skin, giving birth to skin that was delicate as that of a baby.

After drinking the Good Fortune Divine Wine, Duan Ling Tian was shocked. He felt as though his soul had been purified and changed. Although he did not break through, he felt as though he had been thoroughly transformed.

Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath to calm down before he looked at the other mansion masters.

Although everyone looked very happy, they seemed rather calm.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a wry smile, ‘I look like a country bumpkin compared to them…’

Following that, Duan Ling Tian did not hold back and ate the dishes and drank the wine in front of him.

The other mansion masters ate and drank everything on the table, leaving nothing behind as well.

Even Yun He, who was sitting nearest to Zhu Ying Jun, was no exception.

The only person who did not finish the dishes and the drinks was Zhu Ying Jun, the Lord of the Righteous Divine Kingdom.

At this time, Zhu Ying Jun laughed before he clapped his hands and said, “Since you’re all done eating and drinking, it’s time to bring out the prizes.”

Everyone’s hearts moved upon hearing these words.

The tables were arranged in the shape of a ‘U’.

At this time, an old man and a middle-aged man appeared in the sky before he landed in the center.

The middle-aged man’s expression was blank, and his eyes were lifeless. His aura was so weak that it seemed like it could be snuffed out at any time.

Zhu Ying Jun smiled slightly before he looked at the lifeless middle-aged man and said, “This person is a captured advanced Emperor of Gods.” He paused for a beat before he continued to say, “Let’s play a game. I’ll give each mansion master a jade token. Those who obtained jade tokens with the word ‘still’ will stay put while those who obtained jade tokens with the word ‘move’ will spar. The winner will be rewarded with this advanced Emperor of Gods. What do you think?”

The eyes of everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, lit up as soon as Zhu Ying Jun’s voice fell. Who among them would refuse an advanced Emperor of Gods? If they killed the advanced Emperor of Gods, they would be rewarded greatly, and their cultivation base would rise.

After a moment, a mansion master asked curiously, “Your Majesty, how many ‘move’ jade tokens are there?”

Duan Ling Tian was curious as well.

‘How many people will be able to fight for the reward? Will I be able to obtain the ‘move’ jade token?’

Meanwhile, the weaker mansion masters prayed fervently that if they obtained the ‘move’ jade token, their opponent would be weaker than them.

Conversely, the strong mansion masters were not worried about this matter at all.

“Not many,” Zhu Ying Jun smiled and replied, “Just two. After all, this is just a form of entertainment to spice things up during the banquet.”

Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly upon hearing Zhu Ying Jun’s words. There were so many people present, but there were only two ‘move’ jade tokens. One would have to be very lucky to obtain the ‘move’ jade token’.

While Duan Ling Tian was wondering if he was lucky today, Zhu Ying Jun had already moved, tossing out jade tokens to the mansion masters.

Duan Ling Tian reached out and casually grabbed a jade token. When he saw the word on the jade token, the excitement on his face was replaced by a wry smile.

Similar to Duan Ling Tian, there were many who obtained the ‘still’ jade tokens.

“It seems like I’m not very lucky today. I didn’t get the ‘move’ jade token.”

“I’m not very lucky either. I got the ‘still’ jade token!”

“Me too!”

It did not take long before the two mansion masters who obtained the ‘move’ jade tokens rose to their feet.

However, one of them smiled bitterly and said before sitting down again, “I admit defeat! I’m no match for Mansion Master Fang.”

Since he conceded defeat immediately, the other mansion master was declared the winner without a fight.

Zhu Ying Jun looked at the old man and said, “Let him go.”

The old man executed a series of hand gestures before pressing his hand against the middle-aged man.

Following that, life returned to the eyes of the middle-aged man.

Swoosh!

The middle-aged man did not waste time and made a move to escape immediately.

At the same time, Zhu Ying Jun said nonchalantly, “Mansion Master Fang, whether you can kill him and obtain the rewards or not will depend on your strength.”

Clearly, Zhu Ying Jun had no intention of intervening at all.
