482: Break the pride and step into the mud

“Divine Child Wu Dao! My Boundless Cave Heaven has already prepared a lavish banquet for Divine Child, please grant us the opportunity to fulfill our duties as hosts!”

“Divine Child! My Tianlin Cave Heaven has also prepared a grand banquet for Divine Child!”

Empress Yaoguang was not to be outdone, and quickly spoke up.

“If Divine Child’s arrival here is to search for something, I swear by my name as the Cave Revered Master of Tianlin Cave Heaven that I will fully cooperate with Divine Child!”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Kong Wudao raised an eyebrow slightly.

A playful curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

“However, earlier, two people from your Tianlin Cave Heaven were executed by this Divine Child for acting on their own initiative.”

“Now, not only do you not resent this Divine Child, but you even want to invite me, the murderer who killed your Tianlin Cave Heaven’s Disciples, to be a guest in your Cave Heaven?”

“Tell me, are you truly sincere, or are you just saying it casually?”

As soon as these words were spoken.

Everyone from Tianlin Cave Heaven, including Empress Yaoguang, had their expressions drastically change, turning as pale as paper.

The world’s evaluation of Kong Wudao had always been that he was unassuming, his moods were unpredictable, and he never allowed anyone to guess what he was thinking.

Now that Kong Wudao had spoken these words.

It was hard for them not to suspect that Kong Wudao was deliberately digging a pit for them!

Especially when Kong Wudao was speaking these words.

That gaze, full of mockery and playfulness.

Fell on Elder Chu Hao without any concealment.

In Elder Chu Hao’s opinion.

Even if Kong Wudao said nothing.

His entire being exuded a feeling of, 'I killed your two Disciples, do you want revenge for them?'

'Do you dare to seek revenge for them?'

The aura he exuded in every gesture completely embodied arrogance and disdain to the extreme!

Click, click, click...

The anger that had been suppressed with great difficulty ignited fiercely in his heart once again.

Elder Chu Hao even bit his teeth so hard that his jaw made clicking sounds!

[Ding! Detected that due to the host’s actions, the special Destiny's Chosen Elder Chu Hao’s state of mind has been affected. The opponent’s heavenly mandate points have been deducted by 3000 points, remaining 102000 points!]

[Congratulations to the host for triggering a triple critical strike and obtaining 9000 heavenly mandate points!]

Hearing the System’s broadcast, the playful meaning in the depths of Kong Wudao’s pupils became even more apparent.

He had thought that this so-called Elder Chu Hao could bring him some unique new fun.

But, is this all?

And just as the atmosphere grew increasingly solidified.

Empress Yaoguang suddenly stepped forward.

Her figure naturally positioned Elder Chu Hao slightly behind her.

Her expression still carried a polite smile.

“What is Divine Child saying?”

Empress Yaoguang first bowed to Kong Wudao again to show respect, then continued: “Divine Child’s identity is incomparably noble, any existence here that dares to offend Divine Child Wu Dao should pay the price.”

“It is my Tianlin Cave Heaven that did not properly train its Disciples, allowing them to offend Divine Child Wu Dao.”

“Divine Child Wu Dao taking action to punish them is not only reasonable, but it also greatly helped us.”

“My Tianlin Cave Heaven also sincerely hopes that Divine Child Wu Dao can attend this banquet, giving us an opportunity to atone for our mistakes.”

It must be said.

As the Revered Master of a Cave Heaven.

Empress Yaoguang indeed spoke with skill.

One could even say there were no flaws, giving Kong Wudao no reason to make trouble.

However, her words, when they reached Elder Chu Hao’s ears, were incredibly harsh.

He slightly raised his eyes, looking at Empress Yaoguang in front of him with a hint of disbelief.

To be honest.

Empress Yaoguang and he had a good relationship.

He had given Empress Yaoguang many of the countless rewards he had obtained through special investments these past few days.

Her Breakthrough and advancement in cultivation could be said to be inextricably linked to him.

Although her statement and actions were reasonable.

Her behavior, however, still made it difficult for him to get over the hurdle in his heart.

And this extremely subtle scene also fell into Kong Wudao’s eyes.

The curve that had disappeared from the corner of his mouth reappeared.

It seemed that Elder Chu Hao and Empress Yaoguang had a story.

Isn’t the tool to help him fleece heavenly mandate points here?

..........

Half an hour later.

Tianlin Cave Heaven Main Hall.

The strong Cultivators of Tianlin Cave Heaven, led by Empress Yaoguang, held a grand banquet with many distinguished guests.

Countless rare Heaven And Earth Treasure were made into food and served on the table. Each dish was extremely extraordinary; a single bite could prolong life and cleanse the body.

“Divine Child Wu Dao, thank you for gracing us with your presence, I toast to you!”

Empress Yaoguang was the first to stand up, holding a golden goblet, and saluted Kong Wudao.

A Cultivator below the Emperor Realm who could receive a toast from the Empress herself.

Perhaps since ancient times, only Kong Wudao had achieved this.

A toast from the Empress, something that could be boasted about for a lifetime by ordinary people.

However, Kong Wudao did not pay it any mind.

He merely nodded slightly in response, not even bothering to pick up his wine glass to return the courtesy.

After all, etiquette is built on identities and strengths of equal value.

As the Space-Time Forbidden Zone Divine Child.

A mere Empress had no right to receive a return toast from him.

No one present, including Empress Yaoguang, found anything wrong with Kong Wudao’s actions.

Many even showed expressions of envy towards Empress Yaoguang.

For them, the Space-Time Forbidden Zone Divine Child Kong Wudao merely nodding in response was already considered the highest honor!

After a small interlude.

Kong Wudao’s gaze shifted slightly, finally falling on Elder Chu Hao again.

Elder Chu Hao, who had deliberately chosen a corner seat and even used a special Divine Ability to minimize his aura and presence.

The moment he felt Kong Wudao’s gaze.

His heart immediately sank, and his expression instantly turned extremely gloomy.

No need to think further.

This guy, full of malicious intent, was definitely about to do something to him!

Before he could take countermeasures.

Kong Wudao’s slightly playful voice suddenly rang out.

“People always say, drink and be merry, let go of grudges.”

“Your Tianlin Cave Heaven inviting this Divine Child as a guest is actually for this very purpose.”

“However, it seems that the one who has the main grievance with this Divine Child.”

“Doesn’t seem to have made any gestures, nor does he seem to want to let go of the grudge with this Divine Child.”

As soon as these words were spoken.

The gazes of all the guests present simultaneously swept towards the area where Elder Chu Hao was.

It was obvious that even if Kong Wudao didn’t explicitly name him, everyone knew full well.

After all, Ye Yu and Gu Hanwei, who were killed by Kong Wudao, were his Disciples.

When his beloved Disciples died, how could he, their Revered Master, not harbor any hatred?

The Cultivators sitting next to Elder Chu Hao, fearing being implicated, quietly shifted their bodies, moving a little further away from Elder Chu Hao.

Kong Wudao, seated at the head of the table.

Naturally, took in everything happening below.

Destiny's Chosens are proud.

Destiny's Chosens who have achieved Minor Achievement are even prouder.

But his favorite thing to do.

Is to shatter the pride of these Destiny's Chosens.

Stepping on their heads, completely crushing them into the mud.
