Wu Yonghong and the others did not know about all this at this moment. They were just happily preparing to return to the martial arts hall when they discovered that not far from the door, a disheveled, foul-smelling person was clinging to the corner of the wall, looking at them with a face full of longing.
It was Lu DaSheng.
Seeing the even more terrifying auras compared to before, his eyes were full of envy. Especially when he saw old ancestor Lu Qingshan had become unfathomable, his mood became even more chaotic.
Although they hadn't exchanged more than a few words, seeing him like this, they still felt pity for him. They just didn't know what he had done to upset the master.
Wu Yonghong sighed, patted him on the shoulder, then walked into the martial arts hall. "You still have hope!"
As Chu Kuangshi walked by, he also comforted him with a sentence. "Keep at it!"
Sun Zhuge also cheered him on.
When Lu Qingshan walked by, he shook his head and earnestly said, "I told you not to come, but you just wouldn't listen. Since the master hasn't said anything, you should just keep shoveling that manure!"
Seeing the high-spirited group, Lu DaSheng felt his nose go sour.
On a rainy day like this, it felt as if sand had gotten into his eyes.
Since Lu Qingshan and the others had been out for about an hour, the roasted eagle meat and wolf legs were ready by the time they returned.
Just in time, the rain had completely stopped as well.
Yi Feng then instructed them to set up the tables in the small courtyard behind the hall.
In the pot, the eagle meat was bubbling, along with stir-fried peppers, radish, and other side dishes, giving off an appetizing aroma.
Aside from the wolf legs, Yi Feng had also prepared two plates of roasted peanuts to go with the wine.
Seeing the table full of food, Wu Yonghong and the others' eyes lit up, rubbing their hands eagerly, but they didn't dare pick up their chopsticks without Yi Feng's word.
Seeing these reserved old men, Yi Feng smiled slightly. "We're all acquaintances here, no need to stand on ceremony in my place. If you continue to be so restrained, I won't welcome you here next time."
Hearing this, the few old men's bodies shook.
They all nodded like chickens pecking rice.
At the same time, their respect for Yi Feng grew. For a master of his level to not put on any airs before his juniors, and to be so amiable instead, if they could have even a tiny fraction of such a state of returning to simplicity, their achievements would surely surpass what they had presently!
"Come come, my best wine!"
When he had broken through earlier, old ancestor Lu Qingshan had emptied the stores of Qingshan Gate, bringing out bottles of fine wine to place on the table.
"Not bad."
Yi Feng looked very approving as he smiled, but he stared at the old men and said with a grin, "Drinking is drinking, but don't you old fellows try to pull any tricks on me!"
"We wouldn't dare."
They hurriedly shook their heads.
Even without Yi Feng's reminder, they didn't dare to pull anything, like forcing people to drink with their cultivation base.
Not only would it displease the master if they did that, in a drinking contest, who among those present could outdrink Yi Feng if they really used their cultivation base?
While the atmosphere was lively in the martial arts hall's courtyard, over twenty top experts from Red Sun Meridian were descending from the sky.
Their momentum could be described as torrential.
"Good heavens, look!"
"So many top experts."
"Wow, who are these people? Being able to fly through the air, they must at least be at the Martial Spirit realm!"
Their appearance caused countless commoners and cultivators on the ground to cry out in alarm.
However, they completely disregarded these ants on the ground, heading straight for the martial arts hall.
"Master Bifang, based on the tracking method City Lord used previously on Ao Qing, Ao Qing should not be in the martial arts hall now." Someone next to Ao Bifang reported.
"Just one Ao Qing is nothing." Ao Bifang said coldly. "He's been able to scurry about until now only thanks to this martial arts hall. So we'll deal with the hall first before cleaning up Ao Qing. It won't be too late."
"Yes!"
Hearing this, everyone solemnly nodded.
Soon, the small martial arts hall appeared before their eyes.
At the same time, from their vantage point in the air above the hall, they could see through the windows that there were quite a few people drinking inside, seemingly oblivious to their arrival.
But that wasn't the case.
Wu Yonghong and the others' gazes had already changed.
However, seeing Yi Feng smilingly eating and drinking as if nothing had happened, their piercing eyes quietly went back to normal, and the spiritual energy they had secretly gathered receded once more.
With the master here, what was there for them to worry about when it came to such small fry?
After all, those previous two Demon Venerables were lessons learned.
"Master, I toast you."
Thinking of this, they raised their wine cups and continued to toast Yi Feng spiritedly.
"They haven't even noticed this?"
Ao Bifang's gaze flickered.
But recalling the cautionary tales of Xuan Mo and Fu Dao, he still didn't underestimate the situation. Instead, he transmitted to everyone, "Take up the Heavenly Wolf Formation, ready yourselves, then attack simultaneously on my command. You must inflict lethal blows on those people in the martial arts hall."
"Yes!"
At the order, Red Sun Meridian's experts dispersed.
Their bodies were then shrouded in demonic energy as some arranged formations, some formed complex hand seals, and others prepared their innate attacks.
In that moment, all kinds of attacks coalesced.

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
