”Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?!” But Lul Shenze didn’t give him a chance to speak, coldly interrupting, ”Is this the etiquette and hospitality of your Flower God Sect? If that’s the case, I’ve witnessed it today, not knowing humility or respect, humph!”

”Can you not make noise here? Don’t you find it annoying to the ears?” At this moment, Chen Fei spoke up, coldly.

”What did you say?” Lul Shenze’s face darkened, as an astonishing power of wood exuded from him, forming an azure giant dragon that locked onto Chen Fei from afar, indifferently saying, ”Are you sure you were just talking to me?”

”Who else would it be?” Chen Fei squinted his eyes, clearly annoyed, coldly responded.

”Courting death!” Lul Shenze’s face soured on the spot, shouting angrily, about to make a move. But at this moment, Wu Manhe, the Azure King standing by his side, stopped him, shaking his head, and said, ”Enough, let it go.”

Seeing this, a faint expression of surprise appeared on Lul Shenze’s face, and then he disdainfully glanced at Chen Fei, arrogantly saying, ”Since Brother Azure King has spoken, I’ll give this honor. You, from this moment on, do not appear before Lul Shenze again, understand?”

”Lord Shenze!” Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang’s face changed several times, becoming flustered. He knew Lul Shenze was just an ordinary person of the Mystic Heaven Position, far from the Spear-wielding War King, let alone Lord Chen Wang. But acting like this now, isn’t it courting death?

”Hehe...” Chen Fei laughed in extreme anger, no longer looking at him, but instead looked at Wu Manhe, the Azure King, and said, ”Did you hear that? He said he’s giving you face to spare me. Do you like speaking in riddles?”

Wu Manhe, the Azure King’s face changed, only then realizing that his previous action seemed to sow discord.

”Apologies, I didn’t mean it that way.” Wu Manhe, the Azure King, cupped his hands toward Chen Fei, as an apology.

Seeing this, Lul Shenze’s face immediately changed, looking at Chen Fei in surprise, then turning to Wu Manhe, the Azure King, ”Brother Azure King, you?”

”This is King Chen Chen Fei. You should know him, right?” Wu Manhe, the Azure King, said lightly.

”What?” Lul Shenze’s pupils suddenly contracted violently at this moment, then a chill surged all over him, trembling, and looking at Chen Fei said, ”You, you are Lord Chen Wang?!”

He was well aware of his strength; even the Spear-wielding War King could kill him, let alone King Chen who could kill the Spear-wielding War King? Was he insane to provoke such a person? Isn’t this courting death?!

”Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Lord Chen Wang it’s all a misunderstanding. I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you...” Lul Shenze broke into a cold sweat instantly, trembling as he bowed to Chen Fei.

”I thought you were this arrogant to everyone? Turns out you’re just a coward, hehe.” Chen Fei sarcastically remarked, letting out a cold laugh, then disinterested in dealing further with such a cowardly person, he said to the now relieved Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang, ”Lead the way.”

Lul Shenze’s face flushed red with anger, clenching his teeth tightly; with his status, when had he been ridiculed like this? If it were anyone else, he might have already made a move by now. However, in the face of someone as fierce as Chen Fei, he didn’t have the guts.

So, he could only hold it in now, no matter how much resentment was in his heart.

”...Yes, Lord Chen Wang.” The Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang cautiously glanced at Lul Shenze’s gloomy face and led everyone toward the depths of the valley. ”Lords, please follow me.”

Deep in the valley, there was a modest palace. At this moment, the palace door was half-open, and just as Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang was about to knock, a faint voice came out.

”Come in directly.”

Hearing this, Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang’s expression tightened, respectfully saying, ”Yes, Ancestor.”

”That voice, it must be the Lone Emotion Ancestor of the Flower God Sect.” Not far from Chen Fei’s side, Wu Manhe, the Azure King, murmured in a low voice.

”The Lone Emotion Ancestor, the one at the peak of the Mystic Heaven Position?” Chen Fei’s eyes flickered, as he stepped into the hall.

From outside the hall, it was unclear what the interior was like. Once inside, Chen Fei felt the light dim significantly, with only a few moonstones providing gentle white light, creating an atmosphere of alternating clarity and obscurity, yet it was just right.

At this moment, the hall was occupied by seven or eight cultivators with distinct auras, all seated. One of them’s face turned gloomy upon seeing Wu Manhe, the Azure King, and remarked.

”Wu Manhe, it’s you again? Truly, it’s a small world for foes!” This person was none other than Wu Manhe, the Azure King’s mortal enemy. The Second Palace Master of Thunder Venerable Valley!

”Is it you!?”

Another person who saw Chen Fei’s face also changed color dramatically, unable to hold back from exclaiming.

”Brother Wang, do you know this person? Why does he seem unfamiliar to me, a newcomer?” Someone who didn’t know who Chen Fei was thought he was a newly promoted Mystic Heaven Position individual, casually asking.

”He is King Chen Chen Fei!” A newcomer? The person stammered, gradually revealing.

”What?!”

A cry of surprise followed by complete silence.

King Chen Chen Fei? The one who killed the Spear-wielding War King, that King Chen Chen Fei!?

After a long while, an old man with a hoarse voice slowly stood up, slightly bowing to Chen Fei, ”Wang Chan from the Ghost Spirit Sect, greets Lord Chen Wang.”

The remaining people also seemed to wake from a dream, hurriedly rising to greet Chen Fei.

”Han Yuesheng of Tianxing Sect, at your service, Lord Chen Wang.”

”Rogue Zheng Taiji, a pleasure, a pleasure...”

...

One after another, illustrious figures from the Mystic Heaven Position were enthusiastically greeting Chen Fei, trying to forge connections. The title ”Killer of the Spear-wielding War King” was simply too astounding, forcing them to show respect and treat him with importance.

Among these people, only one showed no enthusiasm towards Chen Fei, merely giving him a cursory glance, with no further comment. It was as if, in his eyes, even the feat of killing the Spear-wielding War King was inconsequential.

The man wore a mask with an evil ghost pattern on his face, and Chen Fei found him hard to read, instinctively sensing danger. This indicated that the person was likely not an ordinary figure, certainly not simple.

Clang!

Just then, a soft, metallic sound resonated as an elderly woman leaning on a cane emerged from the darkness. Despite her age, she exuded an aura of profound depth and an almost suffocating authority.

Thus, as she appeared, everyone’s expression changed dramatically.

”Lone Emotion Ancestor.” The man with the evil ghost mask slowly stood up and addressed the elderly woman.

”Greetings, Lone Emotion Ancestor!”

”Madam!”

”Senior Lone Emotion.”

...

Subsequently, a chorus of respectful voices arose.

Lone Emotion Ancestor, one of the two Peak Persons of Mystic Heaven Position from the Flower God Sect, now stood alive before them.

”Thank you, everyone. Please be seated.” Lone Emotion Ancestor looked incredibly old, with few teeth left, yet her voice remained remarkably clear as she spoke, settling steadily onto the highest seat in the main hall.

”Yes...” Upon hearing this, the others promptly took their seats as well.

”You all hail from different sects or clans, bearing different identities as cultivators, and today, by fate, gather here—it’s an affinity. Aqing, bring up the Yaoxin Emperor Fruit.” Unexpectedly, Lone Emotion Ancestor cut straight to the point, smiling as she spoke with a toothless mouth.

Then, a young female cultivator, elegantly poised with a veil, placed trays before the assembly. As the silken covers on the trays were unveiled, luscious fruit resembling peaches captivated everyone’s attention.

About half a palm in size, the miracle lay in the subtle imagery on each fruit, where springs appeared flowing, resembling divine nectar. Generally, only invaluable divine fruits possess such extraordinary effects, albeit with illusory phenomena.

A distance away, upon sighting the Yaoxin Emperor Fruit, everyone became visibly excited, yearning to consume it whole. Such treasures, if consumed, undoubtedly promised immense benefits.

”Hehe.” At this moment, Lone Emotion Ancestor chuckled softly, consuming a Yaoxin Emperor Fruit, savoring its fragrant taste, and laughed, ”Do not hold back, everyone, eat up. Oh, and by the way, there is a matter I’d like everyone’s help with. Of course, I will elaborate, and you may decide if you’re willing. If unwilling, no need to worry, I won’t compel anyone.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei’s gaze flickered—indeed, here’s the crux! Despite the Yaoxin Emperor Fruit’s mixed breed, it was no ordinary item to be gifted so casually—he wasn’t convinced.

The others’ expressions also hardened, yet none were naive enough to believe the Flower God Sect would simply present the Yaoxin Emperor Fruit without any ulterior motive. Clearly, they had something in mind.

All promptly set the Yaoxin Emperor Fruit aside, awaiting Lone Emotion Ancestor’s further statements.

Witnessing this, Lone Emotion Ancestor’s eyes narrowed as she scanned the assembly, speaking slowly, ”The task for which I seek your assistance is to eliminate the Polar Demon Palace!”

”Eliminate the Polar Demon Palace!?”

At these words, everyone’s pupils dilated immensely, followed by a chilling realization—eliminate the Polar Demon Palace? Surely, this must be a jest!

”Lone Emotion Ancestor, you cannot be serious, eliminate the Polar Demon Palace? This joke isn’t amusing.” The Thunder Venerable Valley Second Palace Master was the first to speak, seemingly unable to believe his ears.

Even though they were aware that the invincible Ancient King of the Polar Demon Palace faced issues, on the verge of death, the stature of the Polar Demon Palace across years was formidable—definitely far from something these people could casually overturn. This had to be a joke!

Other cultivators’ faces mirrored this sentiment. Yet being present here meant their cultivation level was at least Mystic Heaven Position, implying extensive trials and tribulations along their journey. Hence, though absurdity clouded their minds, they maintained composure, awaiting Lone Emotion Ancestor’s continuation.

”I am not joking...” Lone Emotion Ancestor furrowed her brows slightly, then remarked calmly, ”However, should you agree to assist, I can guarantee once an opportunity—allowing you to meditate below the Yaoxin Emperor Tree for half a month.”

”Meditate below the Yaoxin Emperor Tree for half a month?!”

The gathering erupted into astonishment, bodies subtly trembling, expressions elated. The Yaoxin Emperor Tree aids cultivators in reaching the peak of Mystic Heaven Position; should they manage to meditate beneath this tree for half a month, then wouldn’t they...
