Chapter 1260: The Greatest Honor
The message from the Divine Path Sect had only been sent a few moments ago.
With a "whoosh," Yi Feng, riding on a snail, appeared before them in an instant. The crowd was both shocked and delighted, quickly stepping forward to pay their respects.
"Senior Yi..."
Before they could finish, Yi Feng jumped off the snail and urgently asked, "Where are they? Where are they? Who's trying to cause trouble?"
His eagerness to fight was so intense that it left the Divine Path Sect members speechless. However, considering that the other party was from the Fallen God Palace, they dared not point fingers recklessly.
The leading elder gave a meaningful glance, directing Yi Feng's attention to the sky with a look of reverence.
Seeing their respectful attitude, Yi Feng was puzzled. He followed their gaze and looked up.
Only then did he notice a young master standing calmly in the air, flanked by several old men who exuded an air of arrogance. They stood with their hands behind their backs, looking down with disdain, as if sharing the same ground with others was beneath their dignity.
This guy definitely had something going on!
Yi Feng felt a surge of excitement. He had rushed over after receiving the message, and it seemed like he had made the right call.
As he looked up, the people behind him grew even more nervous. The elder quietly leaned in and whispered some shocking information.
"Senior! This young master is a disciple of the legendary Fallen God Palace, and his father holds a high position as a elder there. His status is exalted, and his power is immense. Please be cautious, Senior..."
Yi Feng was taken aback. "The Fallen God Palace? Are they really that impressive?"
The elder quickly bowed and explained, his tone filled with even more reverence. "Senior... The Fallen God Palace is the most powerful force on our planet, Lan Star. The palace master is the ruler of our star. We are deeply grateful for your noble assistance, but please, do not act rashly and offend these great beings.
"We had no choice but to send for you, Senior, but we dare not have any grand expectations. We only hope that you can mediate and help us retain the Crystal Sand Mine. If you find it difficult, we will not hold any resentment."
As soon as he finished speaking, many others around him nodded in agreement.
Despite the anger in their eyes, faced with the terrifying power of the Fallen God Palace, they could only lower their heads, not daring to show any disrespect. Even the blood feud from earlier was swallowed in silence.
Yi Feng looked around and felt the heavy weight of their helplessness.
No wonder they had urgently called for help. The other party was indeed terrifying!
Just hearing their name brought an unprecedented sense of oppression. Since witnessing the power of a Martial Spirit expert years ago, he had never felt this tense.
This was a force under the command of the Star Lord. Such a terrifying existence could indeed dominate the Fallen God Lands. Their arrogance in killing and plundering was backed by real power. They definitely had something.
Whether out of a sense of duty to keep his promise or to fulfill his grand plan of seeking death, this opponent was a must-fight!
After quietly observing for a few moments, Yi Feng saw the young man in the air, his face calm and filled with an air of invincibility, unlike any of the previous weaklings he had encountered. Yi Feng's fighting spirit began to rise, and he took a firm step forward.
Just one step.
The entire scene seemed to freeze, the tension skyrocketing.
In the air, the old men who had initially looked down on the so-called "backer" now showed a hint of surprise after a casual glance. As Yi Feng stepped forward, they couldn't help but exchange whispers.
"This man does have some strength. It seems he has a rare treasure concealing his cultivation. Knowing the young master's identity, he still dares to step forward. He must have some confidence."
"Indeed, Brother Chang is right. I didn't expect these ants to actually find a backer."
"Haha, you two are giving this man too much credit. Even if he has some strength, he's still just a slightly larger ant."
"That's true. In the face of our Fallen God Palace and the young master, any so-called strongman is insignificant."
The old men chuckled and exchanged glances, all turning their respectful gazes toward the young master in luxurious robes.
Feeling the weight of their reverence, Liu Haotian's lips curled into a faint smile, his starry eyes gleaming with a steady light, as if they contained the vastness of the cosmos.
He spoke with unwavering confidence, his tone brimming with self-assurance.
"Even if he is an ant, the fact that he dares to step forward shows some courage, surpassing many ordinary people."
"Later, you are not to act without my command."
"I will personally deal with him. Let's see if he can entertain me with all his might. If his talent is passable, I might reluctantly take him as a servant."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old men bowed in unison.
"We obey the young master's command."
Then, with admiring smiles, they continued to praise.
"For this man to encounter Young Master Liu is truly a stroke of fortune."
"He does have some luck. A small ant actually has the chance to rise to the heavens and serve by the young master's side. What a great honor."
"Whether he has the honor of serving the young master depends on his abilities. It's too early to say for sure now."
Hearing the comments from above, everyone on the ground wore expressions of extreme tension, as if facing the end of the world.
No one had expected the Fallen God Palace's experts to be so domineering!
Without even giving them a chance to speak, they seemed ready to bully the weak again. Their casual tone showed no regard for Senior Yi Feng, their strength unimaginable!
A sense of despair washed over the Divine Path Sect elder, his face filled with regret.
The entire scene fell into complete silence.
Only Yi Feng remained calm, looking up at the sky.
The confidence in the voices and demeanor of those above gave him the impression that they were truly powerful. While it stirred his fighting spirit, it also left him feeling a bit uneasy.
To casually demand someone become a servant, as if it were a generous offer, was truly nauseating.
From the practiced way they carried themselves, this Liu guy must be more than just a little strong. That was why he had the confidence to act so arrogantly.
But could he really kill Yi Feng?
Doubt crept into Yi Feng's mind.
So many seemingly powerful figures had turned out to be paper tigers when it came to actual combat. This Liu guy was hard to fully trust!
What if...
What if he wasn't a match for Yi Feng? Wouldn't that be a wasted opportunity?
Thinking this, Yi Feng suddenly felt a bit anxious.
Every time he made a move, his opponents ended up dead on the spot. There had been too many failures like this. Now that he had finally encountered a worthy opponent, it was time to adjust his strategy...
As he pondered, the young master in the air looked down and chuckled.
"You're not bad."
"If you can make my clothes flutter within ten breaths, I will make an exception and take you as my servant. This is an opportunity millions dream of. You should feel honored."
Wow.
This guy really knew how to put on a show.
Despite his internal吐槽 (complaints), Yi Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.
That's right...
Even if the other party couldn't defeat him, as long as he let them make the first move, there was still a chance they could kill him, right?
No matter how weak they were, if he just stood there and let them attack, surely they could manage it, right? Could everyone really be that weak?
Ah!
Why hadn't he thought of this earlier?
Suddenly realizing this blind spot, Yi Feng felt as if he had woken from a dream. He stepped forward and boldly retorted to the figure in the air.
"Stop bragging!"
"I'll let you make the first move. If you can mess up my hair, I'll take you as my servant!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the world fell into an eerie silence.
Whether it was the people in the air or those on the ground, no one made a sound. Only their eyes grew wider and wider!
