39: The Li family withdrew the invitation, and the Holy Land was furious!
“A Martial Apprentice slapping an Immortal Master?”
“Making the Dragon Clan Chief kneel?”
“Oh my god......”
If Tianhai Longyue had never lied, Chen Nanzhi would never have believed what she said.
And upon hearing it now, her feeling was much the same as Tianhai Longyue’s.
That young man surnamed Chu really knew how to court death!
Although Lin Sheng was very clear about the inside story, he still feigned surprise.
But he was laughing inwardly.
Finally, Tianhai Longyue stated her true purpose for this trip.
“I finally got out, so I'm going to have fun these next few days. Whatever happens in the Holy Land, you can help me take care of it, hahaha, thanks! I'll definitely treat you to something delicious when I get back.”
As if afraid Chen Nanzhi would go back on her word, Tianhai Longyue quickly cut off the transmission.
“Heh heh......”
Chen Nanzhi shook her head: “She must have heard about the Li Family’s birthday banquet somewhere and knew that this matter would fall on her when she returned, so she didn't want to come back.”
She still had to prepare the birthday gift for the Li Family today, so she didn't linger here and quickly turned and flew away.
At the same time.
In the East Sea, on Tianao Island, which is part of the “Myriad Demons Archipelago”.
On the clean, empty coastline.
A burly tiger-man, about three and a half meters tall, hurriedly caught up with the blue-haired young man who was about to get off the ship and shouted: “Lan Ao! Where are you going?”
The young man called Lan Ao stopped in his tracks.
Looking back at the anxious tiger-man, a gentle smile appeared on his fair face: “Brother Tiger, you really can't stop me this time. I already know the whole story of my sworn brother's suffering, and I must fight for him!”
He spoke with a smile, but his tone was quite firm.
“But you are the leader of the Myriad Demons Alliance, shouldering the heavy responsibility of restoring the millennium demon kingdom. What if something happens to you outside.......”
“Don't worry!”
Lan Ao took two steps forward and raised his hand to pat Brother Tiger's belly.
Then, he raised his head and looked at the other party with determined eyes: “I won't show up in person. Don't forget, the Li Family has a major handle in our hands.”
“I want to use the power of the Li Family to humiliate the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land, or even isolate it, making it a target of public criticism.”
“I want the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land to realize.”
“Only with my brother present can their Holy Land be strong. If my brother is gone, their Holy Land will quickly decline!”
“On this trip, I am determined to make them regret it!”
Seeing Lan Ao's determination, the tiger-man let out a long sigh of relief and said helplessly: “Alright then, but I'm not at ease with you going to the Li Family alone...”
“The Li Family wouldn't dare touch me, besides... who said I'm alone?”
Lan Ao smiled mysteriously and looked towards the sea.
Under the blue sea, a faint figure of a giant several hundred meters long was lying below!
“The Demon Alliance's first war general...”
Seeing this, the tiger-man's face unconsciously relaxed: “With him protecting you, my fellow brothers in the Demon Alliance and I are truly at ease.”
...
The next day, morning.
“Hey, hey, did you hear?”
“What?”
“This morning, the Li Family, the head of the Ten Immortal Families, suddenly announced that they were taking back the birthday banquet invitation given to the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land!”
“Ah? Is that true? If they really do that, wouldn't it be an insult to the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land?”
“Absolutely true! And it was announced publicly at the Tianji Restaurant.”
“Tianji Restaurant? Hiss—they can't wait for the whole world to know!”
“They don't usually interact much, so why suddenly this?”
“I don't know, they said they would announce the reason at the Tianji Restaurant at noon.”
“Hehehe, there's a good show to watch......”
Feng Province, Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land.
Holy Land Hall.
Boom!
“Outrageous!!”
Sect Leader Wen Aotian angrily slapped the throne, glaring coldly at the Li Family members in the hall below: “Say that again!!”
There was only one Li Family member in the hall.
He was an old man wearing a green robe, with deep-set eyes that looked sunken.
Under the gaze of the Elders on both sides of the hall, he bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly and said: “This old servant is ordered by the patriarch to retrieve the birthday banquet invitation from your Holy Land.”
“Please return the invitation to its original owner, Sect Leader.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Elders on both sides were furious.
“Absurd, absurd! Is there such a thing as recalling an invitation!”
“This is a naked insult! How will the world see us because of your Li Family!?”
“What a Li Family! What a Li Family!!”
Wen Aotian flashed and suddenly appeared in front of the Li Family old servant.
His hands were naturally clasped behind his back, and his aura was like a boiling volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.
“Reason?”
“The patriarch said he would have someone announce it at the Tianji Restaurant at noon.”
Wen Aotian was like a raging lion king.
But at this moment, he still suppressed his anger and turned his head to look at Chen Nanzhi beside him, extending his hand: “The invitation.”
Chen Nanzhi gritted her teeth, took it out of her pouch, and threw it into Wen Aotian's hand.
The Li Family old servant's face lit up with joy.
Just as he was about to reach out to take it, he was startled to see—
Rip!
Wen Aotian personally tore the bright red invitation, representing celebration, into two halves!
The Li Family old servant's heart sank.
He raised his head.
What he saw were the Holy Land Sect Leader's eyes, which looked like they were spitting fire.
“Get out!!”
The thunderous roar echoed in the Li Family old servant's ears, severely impacting his internal organs and causing him to involuntarily spit out a mouthful of old blood.
But at this moment.
This Li Family old servant dared not complain at all. The invitation was torn, his mission had failed, and he could only tuck his tail between his legs and flee in haste!
In the blink of an eye, he vanished.
Inside the Holy Land Hall, the atmosphere was unusually heavy.
“Our Holy Land and the Li Family have never had any entanglement, what on earth is going on?”
“We'll see what they say then!”
“No matter the reason, they shouldn't use such a method! If he really didn't want us to go, he could just say so privately. Announcing it publicly is clearly meant to make us look bad!”
Listening to the Elders' discussion.
Sect Leader Wen Aotian widened his eyes, clenched his fists, and snorted: “In short, we must prepare for the worst!”
“Notify everyone first, so they have some psychological preparation.”
“Yes!”
The Elders took their orders and dispersed.
......
On Tianyun Mountain.
Lin Sheng had just opened the wooden door and stretched in the sunlight.
Opening his eyes, he saw Chen Nanzhi standing at the door, looking worried.
“Uh... what's wrong?”
“Those bastards from the Li Family just sent someone to take back the invitation!”
“An invitation can be taken back?”
It was the first time Lin Sheng had heard of such a strange thing, and he quickly asked: “And then? What happened!?”
“The Sect Leader was very angry and tore the invitation directly.”
“Well done!”
Chen Nanzhi continued: “It was an old servant who came. When asked the reason for taking back the invitation, he said it would be announced at the Tianji Restaurant at noon.”
“Tianji Restaurant?”
