453: The banquet begins, the demon tribe attacks

Li Xuankong's gaze fell upon the three individuals, his eyes filled with scrutiny.

He then said to Xie Weilou, "Brother Xie, what do you think of these three?"

"Acceptable!"

Xie Weilou offered a two-word evaluation.

Among the younger generation, those who could enter the Dao Repository Realm were naturally considered good.

Of course, they certainly couldn't compare to Yan Junlin and others.

From a certain perspective, Yan Junlin and the others had already surpassed many of the older generation, so it was naturally difficult for ordinary members of the younger generation to compare with them.

Li Xuankong smiled and said, "To receive Brother Xie's affirmation, it seems they are indeed good, but we still need to test their strength."

"Heh heh! Test the strength of these three favored children of heaven? You certainly have a big mouth!"

Xue Jianchen, who was nearby, heard Li Xuankong's words and couldn't help but sneer, feeling that Li Xuankong was too arrogant.

The three, Xuan Guan included, were all favored children of heaven, having reached the Dao Repository Realm Late Stage at a young age. Among the entire Eastern Zhou younger generation, they ranked among the top ten, possessing immense and extraordinary combat power.

Moreover, they were about to enter the Tai Academy.

Among the young people, who had the qualifications to test them?

The female disciple beside Xue Jianchen looked at Li Xuankong with a look full of derision, saying, "Some people are so ignorant, always thinking they have some strength, and then they like to talk nonsense, often offending people without even realizing it."

"......"

Li Xuankong smiled and said nothing more.

Different heights lead to different temperaments. The words of flies could hardly enter his ears; if they truly bothered him, he would simply swat them dead.

Xue Jianchen and the woman's expressions turned grim when they saw that Li Xuankong ignored them.

"Three Dao friends, please take your seats!"

Yun Zhi looked at Xuan Guan and the other two, bowing slightly with clasped fists.

"......"

The three smiled indifferently, flying into the pavilion and taking their seats.

Yun Zhi glanced at the people around her and said with a smile, "Almost everyone is here. Let's get straight to the main topic!"

Her gaze fell on Cloud Courtyard.

Cloud Courtyard nodded gently and mused, "Today's Thunderclap Estate banquet is actually by commission."

"By commission?"

Everyone showed surprise. Wasn't this banquet hosted by Thunderclap Estate itself?

Cloud Courtyard said, "Please allow me to keep this a secret for now; everyone should know who that person is later. For this banquet, my Thunderclap Estate has prepared two items as rewards. The first item is a map of an exotic flame, but that map is incomplete."

"The second item is a Thunder Tribulation Pearl. The Thunder Tribulation Pearl is extremely extraordinary, containing powerful thunder energy that can be used for body tempering to enhance physical strength, especially for friends who cultivate thunder-attribute cultivation techniques, it has wonderful uses."

"An incomplete exotic flame map?"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile wryly. It seemed this exotic flame map was just a gimmick.

If there were a complete exotic flame map, it would be a peerless treasure, coveted by countless alchemists, and Thunderclap Estate would not easily bring it out.

Cloud Courtyard continued, "Besides that, that person also brought out a Supreme-Grade Spiritual Weapon as a reward. All Dao friends present today, if you are interested in these three items, you can go on stage and spar among yourselves. The one who ultimately takes the lead can take away all three items."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and a map, a thunder-attribute pearl, and a black long spear flew upwards.

"Supreme-Grade Spiritual Weapon."

Everyone present looked at the black long spear, their eyes showing excitement.

A Supreme-Grade Spiritual Weapon was a treasure, coveted by countless cultivators. If placed outside, it would definitely be an object of countless killings and Snatch.

How many of the cultivators present could produce such a treasure?

Today, someone actually produced a Supreme-Grade Spiritual Weapon as a reward; this was quite a grand gesture.

However, thinking of the three favored children of heaven present, they felt a bitter taste. How did it feel as if these items were prepared just for those three?

They seemed to have become mere backdrops!

Xuan Guan stood up. He stared at the black long spear and said with a faint smile, "Fellow Dao friends, it seems this spear is prepared for me."

He also possessed a Spiritual Weapon; the spear he wielded was a Spiritual Weapon, but only a High-Grade Spiritual Weapon.

Now, a Supreme-Grade Spiritual Weapon appeared before him. He felt it was prepared for him, and no matter what, he had to seize this long spear.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "The Supreme-Grade Spiritual Weapon can be yours, but how about the exotic flame map for me?"

Besides being extraordinary in martial arts, he was also a third-grade alchemist, so he naturally yearned for exotic flames.

Pure Lotus Saintess softly said, "I want all three items!"

"Saintess, that's too greedy."

Xuan Guan and Lu Heng looked at Pure Lotus Saintess.

Pure Lotus Saintess said calmly, "Then let's spar!"

With that, she flew onto the square.

"Precisely my intention."

Xuan Guan moved and appeared on the square. He extended his hand, and a long spear appeared in his grip.

"......"

Lu Heng, on the other hand, watched with a smile.

In the pavilion opposite.

Xie Weilou was holding chopsticks, savoring the food. He had drunk alcohol earlier, so now he needed to eat something.

Li Xuankong looked at Xie Weilou and said with a faint smile, "Brother Xie, if you are interested in that map, you can make a move."

"Let's see for now!"

Xie Weilou said casually. He definitely had to acquire the exotic flame map, even if it was incomplete.

"......"

Li Xuankong smiled and nodded. With so many people present today, watching only three Dao Repository Realm Late Stage cultivators spar wouldn't be very interesting.

"A gathering of ants, how interesting."

Just then, a sinister voice sounded. In the void, a group of afterimages instantly appeared, and a dense demonic aura permeated, turning the sky crimson.

"Demons!"

When everyone present sensed the demonic aura, their expressions changed, and they immediately stood up.

Demons were ferocious, moving south to commit evil. Eastern Zhou was frequently invaded, and many cities had been corroded, making it difficult to resist, even worse than Great Xia.

Li Xuankong narrowed his eyes as he looked at the demons in the sky: "They came at just the right time!"

Yun Zhi and Cloud Courtyard's expressions changed. They naturally knew how terrifying demons were. The battles between Eastern Zhou and the demons resulted in more losses than victories. They had not expected demons to come today.

"No worries! Let these demons come down; you can also practice your skills."

At this opportune moment, a voice entered their ears.

"......"

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhi and Cloud Courtyard felt greatly reassured.

Whoosh!

The demons above quickly flew down. At a glance, there were about a hundred of them: ten Dao Repository Realm Initial Stage, three Dao Repository Realm Late Stage, and one Dao Repository Realm Peak. The rest were below the Dao Repository Realm.

Leading the group was a young man in thunder battle robes. He held a long spear, possessed a pair of thunder wings, and was enveloped in thunder energy. He came from the Thunder Ancient Bird Clan of the Demon Kingdom.

This demon man looked down at Yun Zhi and Cloud Courtyard below and said, "I am Lei Zheng of the Thunder Ancient Bird Clan. I heard that Thunderclap Estate has an ancient thunder armor. Hand it over immediately. If I am satisfied, I can let half of the people here live; otherwise, the entire Thunderclap Estate will be reduced to ashes!"
