Upon hearing this, Muf Junhe’s brows furrowed, his expression somewhat gloomy as he said, ”Blood Eagle, let’s set aside for now that Mr. Chen is a honored guest of our Heqing Hall, and naturally has every right to sit with us... Why can Wang Chao bring his people here, but not I bring Mr. Chen?”

He pointed to the figure behind the Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master, a middle-aged man with greenish hair, incredibly sharp eyes, and long, narrow hands, particularly the nails, which were strikingly noticeable! They emanated a bluish-white cold light, quite intimidating.

At this moment, upon hearing Muf Junhe’s words, the man’s eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a sinister look, somewhat distorted. Perhaps intimidated by Muf Junhe’s status as one of the Twelve Deputy Pavilion Masters, he coldly twisted his lips, snorted, yet remained silent.

However, his gaze had already fallen on Chen Fei, recklessly scrutinizing him with a mocking smile, rather provocative.

The Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master chuckled softly, saying, ”Hehe, Muf Junhe, are you making a mess by comparing him with Wang Chao? Wang Chao already succeeded in breaking through to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm before you even failed to reach it. Furthermore, he is a Fourth Grade Mid Grade Alchemist with unlimited potential... To be frank, Wang Chao stands strong in comparison to us, whereas he...”

The Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master’s disdainful gaze landed on Chen Fei, indifferent and cold, saying, ”Does he even measure up?”

”You...” Muf Junhe’s eyes twitched, his expression grew gloomy and ugly, even his face turned hideously red due to anger, fiercely contorted.

The green-haired middle-aged man, Wang Chao, laughed with arrogance, not because the Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master was flattering him, nor out of overconfidence, but because it was indeed true!

He is now a figure in the Fifth Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm, a Fourth Grade Mid Grade Alchemist, and most importantly, young! Compared to the twelve Deputy Pavilion Masters present in the hall, he is indeed much younger! Hence, it becomes his natural reason for an arrogant smile.

”What, Muf Junhe, do you think there’s a problem with what I’m saying? Don’t forget, you are not what you once were. Since things aren’t the same, wouldn’t it be better to keep a low profile?” The Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master laughed sinisterly at Muf Junhe, his words carrying somewhat of a threat.

Everyone’s eyes slightly narrowed, their hearts skipped a beat, then they shook their heads slightly with helplessness. Blood Eagle had long been at odds with Muf Junhe. In the past, they were evenly matched, neither could easily dominate the other, allowing them to have their back-and-forth, but now Muf Junhe’s downfall came swiftly, leaving him futile; how could he still contend with Blood Eagle?

It seems today’s outcome had been scripted from the start! And now, this was merely an act of Blood Eagle trying to flaunt his prowess and humiliate others.

Muf Junhe looked at the Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master, even the sneering, ironic cold laughs from behind Wang Chao, his hand inside his sleeve clenched tightly, leaving nail marks, his teeth gnashed, burying his head in silence.

Defeated, his strength inferior to others. No matter how much he says now, it would only be self-indulgent shame.

”Enough.” At this moment, the True Lord Soul-Pupil on the oval high platform casually waved his robe, indifferently saying, ”Since everyone’s here, shall we now discuss the serious matters?”

The Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master was slightly startled, understood that the True Lord Soul-Pupil was helping Muf Junhe out of the situation, then immediately cast a sinister glance at the downcast Muf Junhe, laughed coldly, and said, ”Yes, Pavilion Master.”

True Lord Soul-Pupil is a True Monarch Realm figure, so naturally, he wouldn’t provoke him. However, True Lord Heicang is his pillar, making him fear nothing.

Immediately, his eyes mercilessly fell on Muf Junhe, indifferently saying, ”Muf Junhe, since Pavilion Master Soul-Pupil has already spoken, I won’t waste any more words with you. Hand over that reserved spot yourself, will you?”

At the same time, the fiery color glowed in the eyes of Wang Chao behind him. Originally, this spot was undoubtedly reserved for him, but because delays caused him to miss the date of the Alchemy and Martial Arts Conference, he regrettably missed out. Naturally, this left him not content.

Later, Muf Junhe’s incident incidentally gave him hope. If Muf Junhe were in his peak condition, Wang Chao wouldn’t dare take such a risk and offend, but now Muf Junhe had become a toothless tiger, what should he fear?

Chen Fei isn’t even a member of their Floating Immortal Pavilion, so what qualification does he have to gain that priceless spot through them? Better to give it to Wang Chao.

With such a mindset, he privately conspired with the Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master, bringing about today’s scene.

”Blood Eagle, you’d better not go too far! That reserved spot was initially secured by us at Heqing Hall, why should I hand it over?” Muf Junhe lifted his head, staring fiercely at the Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master, angrily exclaimed.

”Why? Muf Junhe, must I explain clearly?”

The Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master stared coldly at Muf Junhe, saying, ”First, this kid doesn’t seem to belong to our Floating Immortal Pavilion, right? Second, the matter of exploring that Mysterious Tomb this time is considerably significant. All our Floating Immortal Pavilion’s participants are fighters who made their way through blood battles, yet you want him to gain it without effort, holding a reserved spot, how does that convince others?”

”Moreover, if you engaged in favoritism and enlisted this person unable to demonstrate real strength, then what? Allowing other forces to mock our Floating Immortal Pavilion for lacking people? Therefore, it’s better for you not to handle this matter any further. Hand over the spot, let it go to Wang Chao.”

The Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master spoke casually, seemingly having lost patience to waste more words with Muf Junhe. Understandably, now Muf Junhe was worlds apart from him, humiliating once or twice sufficed, excessive indulgence lacked achievement.

Thus, it was preferable to quickly settle the matter. The reserved spot was something Muf Junhe was no longer qualified to hold.

On the oval high platform, True Lord Heicang lowered his eyes slightly, suddenly saying, ”Such a matter isn’t entirely big nor necessarily small, anyhow, handle it cautiously will be better.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes slightly narrowed, then shook their heads collectively. Muf Junhe’s face suddenly turned unsightly.

You should know that the matter of the pre-determined quota has long been set in stone; what else needs to be handled cautiously? So True Lord Heicang’s words were merely a signal for him to hand over the quota.

Muf Junhe clenched his fist tightly, took a deep breath, lowered his head, and whispered to Chen Fei, ”Mr. Chen, I’m sorry.”

After speaking, he looked up at the Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master, whose face was already full of smugness. Expressionless, he said calmly, ”Blood Eagle, you’ve won. If you want the pre-determined quota, you can have it.”

”Hoho, thanks a lot then.” The Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master sneered and, looking at the blue-haired middle-aged man Wang Chao behind him, said, ”Aren’t you going to thank Vice Pavilion Master Muf?”

”Thank you, Vice Pavilion Master Muf.” Wang Chao also had a sneer on his face, his eyes then landing on Chen Fei’s face with a mocking look, ”But it’s also unfortunate for this young friend here, to have made the trip for nothing.”

Chen Fei smiled slightly, without saying anything.

”Let’s dismiss the meeting.” At this time, True Lord Heicang got up from his chair and turned around, preparing to leave.

”Wait.” Suddenly, a calm voice rang out, causing everyone to freeze. Immediately, all eyes bizarrely fell on Chen Fei.

”What, you seem unconvinced?” Wang Chao looked coldly at Chen Fei, and said.

”Unconvinced? Not necessarily… I just heard the Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master say that it seems my strength is inadequate?”

Chen Fei had a half-smile on his face, looking at the other party. Suddenly, he grinned, revealing his sharp white teeth, and said, ”Then I would like to ask, how can I prove that my strength is indeed adequate?”

The crowd was stunned, staring at Chen Fei. This kid, he, he…

The Blood Eagle Deputy Pavilion Master’s eyes also instantly narrowed, staring at Chen Fei with an unfriendly look, but he did not speak, as if he deemed Chen Fei unworthy of conversation.

But thinking about it, he was indeed one of the Floating Immortal Pavilion’s twelve Deputy Pavilion Masters and was now steadily the second-ranked, a Peak of Fifth Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm presence. With numerous strong subordinates, how could he possibly have Chen Fei, such a ’small figure’, in his mind?

However, in his heart, he was still filled with an ominous anger towards Chen Fei for daring to question and offend him.

He glanced slightly at Wang Chao behind him, who immediately understood, stepped forward, showed a mouthful of sharp white teeth, and looked at Chen Fei coldly and replied disdainfully: Want to prove your strength? That’s very simple…”

He pointed to his chest with his hand, grinned, exposing his grim teeth, and said arrogantly: ”Defeat me, and what you want to prove will be accomplished… but, do you have that ability?”

In his eyes, the contempt and irony towards Chen Fei were rampant, not only because he was absolutely sure that Chen Fei could not be his opponent, but also because Chen Fei was with Muf Junhe, which made him very displeased.

The crowd’s expressions tightened slightly, then sighed helplessly. Wang Chao was simply trying to force the kid into a dead end, defeat him? If Wang Chao could be easily defeated, his ’Green Light Claw’ title wouldn’t be as meritorious.

It is precisely because Wang Chao is truly formidable that this title falls on his head, otherwise, he would not be worthy of such a title.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei actually laughed. His jet-black eyes, as clear as glass, gazed at the other party, and he said calmly, ”That’s a good idea… in that case, why don’t we have a duel?”

The words immediately caused a small commotion within the hall.

”What? He wants to challenge Wang Chao?”

”Is this kid crazy? Didn’t he hear that Wang Chao has already reached the Fifth Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm? Does he really have the qualification to challenge him? This isn’t a joke!”

”This kid is just too arrogant. The Mystic Vein has seven elders maintaining their position, to take a spot from them, at least four victories are needed!”

”This truly is a case of the young calf fearing no tigers, it’s simply seeking a snake to swallow an elephant.”

”Young calf fearing no tigers? I think he’s just overestimating himself! Hah…”

…

The figures around the twelve chairs surrounding the giant stone seat couldn’t help but break into discussion.
