C8 Whether or not it is worth it
After a month of not seeing him, Hell acted like he had taken in a few of his lackeys. Being accompanied by his lackeys, he walked in arrogantly. Hell also saw the Shura and sat down on the table opposite the Shura.
"Big brother, what do you think of this Liu Jia Village? This is a place where our rogue cultivators often gather. Manor Lord Liu is warm and hospitable, and he is very generous to his fellow daoists." A lackey said in a flirtatious tone.
"Pfft." Hades had just drunk a glass of wine when he vomited.
"You're generous, a person who takes out this wine to entertain others and is generous. Kid, you aren't trying to scam me are you?" In an instant, hell turned from a peaceful place to a vicious place.
The lackey shivered. He didn't think that flattering him would actually hit the mark of a horse.
"Big brother, how could I dare to cheat you? This wine is made out of dew, it's worth at least ten Spirit Stones per jug. It's quite expensive." The lackey quickly explained.
Ordinary rogue cultivators didn't even have enough spirit stones, so who would be willing to buy wine with spirit stones? It was only Villa Owner Liu who was rich and imposing that he was able to entertain others with such treatment.
"Bastard, this wine is indeed dregs. Alright, seeing as I was just eating and drinking for free, I will reluctantly drink a few mouthfuls." Hell frowned, as if in pain.
The Shura found this funny, but he didn't greet Hell. The two of them sat across from each other, looking at the group of cultivators.
A gathering of cultivators like this was obviously organized by someone. Now, they just wanted to see what these cultivators wanted to do.
After a short while, the last group of cultivators was seated. Emissary Liu walked in with a face full of smiles.
"Everyone, I welcome everyone to my Liu Jia Village. Today is a rare occasion, everyone, don't be polite with me." Steward Liu was seated at the head of the table. He was skillful enough to make anyone in any corner feel that they had been valued. This was his skill.
Many cultivators immediately raised their wine cups, "Manor Lord Liu, you are too courteous."
"Villa Master Liu, we should be disturbing you."
"Villa Owner Liu is loyal, ah. I, Old Wang, have not had any celestial wine for a long time."
….
The crowd of cultivators made a gesture, but Dugu Bai suddenly realized that the Asura fellow was still minding his own business, and his expression immediately changed.
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have brought this guy here."
However, he soon discovered that the Shura wasn't the only one in the hall. The flirty fellow standing opposite the Shura also didn't stand up. His brows were furrowed as he looked at the wine as if it were poison.
"Hey, you two, why are you being so rude?"
Some people could not bear to see this. Coming to this person's house, they had to at least give him some face.
Originally, no one had paid much attention to it. However, after this person yelled out, everyone's gaze immediately swept over to Asura and Hell.
No one knew that these two fellows, who wore different clothes and had different appearances, were from the same group.
"The wine is bad, I have no appetite." The Infernal Realm ignored the gazes that seemed to be filled with killing intent and continued to shake its head. It seemed to be very unhappy.
The lackeys beside him almost fell to the ground in fright.
"Big Bro, why don't you just say it out loud? No one here is easy to mess with."
However, when they saw the sharp gazes of the crowd, the lackeys shrank back, not daring to speak.
"Drinking like I've come for nothing." As the atmosphere froze, the Shura spoke.
This fellow talked like he was drinking, but everyone could see that there were already five to six empty wine jugs on his table. As he spoke, he was still pouring wine into his stomach.
"You unscrupulous fellow, who brought you this?" Someone said in dissatisfaction.
A pot of wine here cost ten Spirit Stones. This guy really treated it as free water. He even said that the wine wasn't good, but the wine wasn't good, and you still drank with gusto.
If the one sitting here wasn't just a small, simple taste, he wouldn't look like this guy at all. It was simply a barrel of wine.
Dugu Bai's face paled. He was the one who brought the Shura here, but now, he didn't have the face to come out. This was too embarrassing.
If word of this got out, who would dare to invite him to drink and discuss dao?
"Cough cough, both of you look like people who want to celebrate. It just so happens that I have some good wine. Since the two of you are not satisfied with this wine, let's exchange for it." Villa Owner Liu was indeed worthy to be called a righteous person. He only coughed awkwardly before speaking up.
Soon, the servant of Liu Jia Village took another type of wine and placed it on the table of Shura and Hell.
The others swallowed.
"Darn, it's actually a pot of Immortal Spirit Wine with twenty spirit stones each. If I knew earlier, I would have been bragging."
However, seeing Villa Owner Liu's slightly sullen face, no one dared to have any thoughts about him. Instead, they felt some schadenfreude.
Did he really think that the wine from Liu Jia Village was so delicious?
The small incident didn't disturb the atmosphere of the Liu Clan Manor. Soon, the crowd of cultivators started chatting and toasting each other. Manor Lord Liu purposefully made a round and everyone felt at ease.
"This brother of the Infernal Realm is a rare sight. May I ask where you used to train in the past?" Manor Lord Liu came before hell with a smile on his face, making people feel as if a spring breeze was blowing.
Hell curled his lips and raised his eyes to look at one of his lackeys. That lackey immediately tensed up and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Manor Lord Liu, my big brother came from the northern border. He heard that the Great Yong was rich, so he came to take a look."
"You must be the Soulcatcher Zuo Yue." Villa Owner Liu narrowed his eyes.
Hell's performance clearly caused him to be extremely displeased. You're eating my food, drinking my wine, yet you're actually disdainful to speak to me and have your younger brother speak for you. Isn't this simply slapping your face?
Zuo Yue took a careful look at Hell and nodded, "Manor Lord Liu, please wait. My brother is a bit eccentric, but he is definitely a real person, a real person."
Villa Owner Liu was slightly angered, but he could not flare up. After all, he could not chase this hell away could he?
"Haha, what are you talking about, Fellow Daoist Zuo Yue? He's a guest, feel free to come."
Zuo Yue smiled awkwardly, but after seeing Villa Owner Liu turn around and walk to the next table, her face turned bitter.
"Big Bro, don't you think it's better to give me some face? It's not like this little brother brought you here to mess around, right?"
Hell was looking at the wine jug with disdain, "It's not like I'm the one who wants to come, you're the one who begged me to come."
Zuo Yue didn't dare to say anything, this master was not easy to deal with.
The Shura, who was watching from the opposite side, was overjoyed. Hell, if he were to let it go, he would definitely be a devil. He was someone who ate people without spitting out their bones.
However, looking at Dugu Bai, the Shura was also very proud of himself. What Thousand Li Chasing Fragrance? Your father will turn you into a thousand Li person looking for a beating.
Very quickly, Villa Owner Liu turned to the Shura's table. The Shura poured and drank by himself, drinking for free. Just by looking at the empty wine jug on the table, Villa Owner Liu couldn't help but feel pain.
"Cough cough. Fellow Daoist Asura, this wine of mine is still edible, right?" Having seen the "soft nail from hell" before, Villa Owner Liu was a lot more courteous, his face full of smiles.
The Shura drank by himself, his voice echoing out, "Mm, not bad. It's just that it's a bit less than throat."
Villa Owner Liu's face twitched. This was too little.
Damn, this is another bastard. If it wasn't for someone paying tonight, he probably would have died a miserable death.
After three rounds of drinking, Villa Owner Liu stood up again. The Shura knew that the show was about to begin.
Fellow daoists, the reason why I have invited you all to this banquet is to introduce you all to an expert. I have heard of his name, and he is an elder of the Spirit Beast Sect, the Golden Horse Clan's ancestor, Ma Dancheng. This time, Fellow Ma and the Great Yong Reverend are on bad terms, and I wish to vent my anger.
All of the cultivators were instantly stunned. Aside from a few who had already expected this and were abnormally calm, there was no one else who didn't whisper to each other.
Over the past year, Madan Cheng's fame had spread throughout the Great Yong Empire. Who didn't know of his name? The more the two fought, the more often they fought near the capital, causing the Great Yong Empire's Guardian Guild to be unable to handle them.
More importantly, this fellow was not only the forefather of the Golden Horse Hall, but also an elder of the Spiritual Beast Sect. The Spiritual Beast Sect was a sect that was rich beyond belief.
Following Manor Lord Liu's voice, Ma Dancheng slowly walked out from the backyard.
His clothes were green and his attire was ordinary, but it gave people a strong sense of oppression. This was Ma Dancheng.
I, Ma Dancheng, have invited all of you here because of my son's bullying of me. I, Ma Dancheng, do not wish to destroy Da Yong, and bring disaster to the people of Li Min, Ma Dancheng only wants to kill all the people in the shrine and then return to the sect to cultivate quietly. Ma Dancheng will recruit all of you here, and if there is anyone who can help me, we will behead an ordinary leader of the regiment. I, Ma Dancheng, will give you a thousand spirit stones.
Ma Dancheng's words caused an uproar among many cultivators.
Not towards the target that Ma Dancheng wanted to deal with, but only towards the target that Ma Dancheng wanted to deal with.
It was already known to everyone that Ma Dancheng wanted to deal with the Guardian Guild, but the amount of damage he had done was beyond their expectations.
One thousand spirit stones for a reverend head was already very attractive. The revelation of three thousand and one elder was enough to make an ordinary rogue cultivator go crazy.
Rogue cultivators were rogue cultivators because they didn't have sects. They lacked techniques and spirit stones. They relied on their own hardships to survive.
Ma Dancheng threw out tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in one go. As expected of the Patriarch of the Golden Horse Hall, as expected of an elder of the Spirit Beast Sect. To a rogue cultivator, he was simply too attractive.
Ma Dancheng threw down the bait and turned around to enter the inner court, waiting for someone who was willing to take the bait.
This move of Ma Dancheng's could be said to be powerful. All the people that came here were rogue cultivators and no one was wealthy. If there was such a good thing, many people would not let it go.
Now, Madan Cheng was leading the charge and wanted to exterminate the entire Lord's Congregation. As long as they succeeded, even if the entire Regiment was wiped out, no one would come looking for trouble with them. They could even send out a few more orders.
Immediately, over ten cultivators entered the inner courtyard. Even more people were considering whether or not they should make a move.
