Chapter 18 Hongmen Banquet
An invitation was sent to the Lu family, which touched the nerves of the elders.
Zhou Ruoxue held a banquet in Baixianglou and invited Lu Chen.
As long as Lu Chen showed up, he would be given 50 inferior spiritual energy pills as a return gift.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was a Hongmen Banquet and he couldn't go.
However, no matter how the elders persuaded him, Lu Chen still decided to attend the banquet.
The reason was simple, just for 50 inferior spiritual energy pills!
Baixianglou.
The best restaurant in Shuangmu City was reserved today.
Not only Lu Chen received the invitation, but also some young masters of big families and many martial arts talents in the city.
This was Zhou Ruoxue's little idea. She wanted to slap Lu Chen's face in front of all the martial arts talents in the city.
The banquet was held on the fourth floor. The talented people who attended the banquet arrived early, surrounding Zhou Ruoxue and Jiang Yao like stars surrounding the moon.
Zhou Ruoxue was the daughter of the city lord, and Jiang Yao was a disciple of Ziyunmen. The two were so noble, why didn't they flatter them in time?
"Everyone, look, Lu Chen is here."
A surprised voice sounded.
"I invited him here."
Zhou Ruoxue said coldly, then stood up and walked to the railing with Jiang Yao to watch, followed by a large group of people.
Everyone in Shuangmu City knew that the city lord had abolished Lu Chen, but not completely.
No one knew why Lu Chen was abolished, but everyone could guess that there was definitely an unspeakable grudge between Lu Chen and Zhou Ruoxue.
"Lu Chen dared to come to see Miss Zhou, he is so thick-skinned."
"Recently there are rumors that his cultivation has recovered, I wonder if it is true or not?"
"Even if his cultivation is restored, what does it matter? His Dantian and Wumai are almost as bad as before. Does he still have the strength he had before?"
"Even if he has, he is far from Miss Zhou."
"Why don't we try him?"
A series of discussions sounded.
These people denounced Lu Chen in order to please Zhou Ruoxue.
They are not fools, how could they not guess the purpose of Zhou Ruoxue's invitation to Lu Chen? She must want to slap Lu Chen in the face.
However, they didn't know about the changes in the Lu family, and only knew about Lu Chen's affairs in the alchemy hall.
Because the elder had issued a gag order, the Lu family's affairs were not to be spread.
Therefore, they didn't know what kind of strength Lu Chen had.
Downstairs, Lu Chen, dressed in a white robe, walked slowly.
"Let me try him?"
A figure jumped over the railing, jumped down from the fourth floor, landed steadily, and blocked Lu Chen.
"Good skills!"
There was a burst of cheers from the fourth floor.
"Sun Delin?"
Lu Chen raised his eyelids and recognized that this person was the young master of the Sun family. He was a coward who bullied the weak and was beaten by him before. Today, this guy showed up again, probably to get back at his old place.
However, this guy was only in the ninth level of the body refining realm.
Lu Chen shook his head, raised his eyelids again, looked at the fourth floor, and saw Zhou Ruoxue looking down coldly.
Zhou Ruoxue was indeed beautiful, but now this kind of beauty was as ugly as a snake and scorpion in Lu Chen's eyes.
"Zhou Ruoxue, is this your way of entertaining guests?"
Lu Chen asked calmly, his tone was filled with endless chill and sigh.
In the past, they were affectionate with each other, but now they are irreconcilable, and blood feuds must be paid with blood.
"You are the number one martial arts genius in Shuangmu City, are you still afraid of this little test?"
Zhou Ruoxue's expression was cold, and she squeezed, "The banquet is on the fourth floor. If you can come up, I will personally pour you tea, so what?"
"The tea you pour is poisonous, I dare not drink it."
Lu Chen responded calmly, and a sarcastic remark directly ignited the whole scene.
Those young masters of the families and martial arts talents could not help it, and they all jumped out to defend Zhou Ruoxue.
"Miss Zhou invited you to the banquet because she pity you. You dare to offend her. Are you still a human being?"
"Lu Chen, you dare to disrespect Miss Zhou. I will make you die without a burial place."
"Lu Chen, if you don't want to die, kowtow to Miss Zhou and apologize, otherwise I will peel your skin off."
"Lu Chen, your realm has dropped sharply. Everyone can bully you. I will teach you how to be a man later."
These people shouted, but did not go down, because Sun Delin was below.
"Lu Chen, I heard that you turned over and defeated Zhou Hong. Can you defeat me?"
Sun Delin walked towards Lu Chen step by step, grinning and said, "Zhou Hong is at the same level as me, but he is a pill cultivator and his combat power is not strong. But I am different. I cultivate the middle-grade combat skills of the yellow level. My combat power is stronger than you can imagine!"
"Noisy!"
Lu Chen was impatient and suddenly stretched out his hand to scrape it, as fast as lightning.
Snap!
A loud slap in the face.
Sun Delin was slapped and flew more than ten feet away. His right face was swollen and he lay on the ground.
Instantly, there was a silence on the fourth floor.
Lu Chen's move was so fast that few people could see it clearly.
Moreover, Lu Chen easily knocked Sun Delin away without even revealing his realm. It was a bit scary.
Lu Chen raised his head and pointed at the people on the fourth floor, calling out their names one by one: "You, you, and you, all three of you come down together. Didn't you want me to die without a burial place just now? Do you want to peel my skin? Do you want to teach me a lesson? I really want to see if you can do it?"
As soon as these words came out, the fourth floor exploded.
The three people named by Lu Chen immediately burst into aura, and each of them was at the peak of the ninth level of the body refining realm!
"Let's go down and beat him to death."
"He wants to fight three people alone, let him do it."
"Let's go to the second floor and wait for him."
The three people walked down the stairs one after another.
At this time, Lu Chen entered the Baixiang Building and was walking down the stairs to the second floor.
Soon, there was a crackling fight on the second floor, and then silence fell.
If someone is doing something good, run down and see what happens.
After a while, the good guy ran back and told the situation in shock: "They lost. One was beaten to death and died without a burial place. One was skinned and could not die. The other was begging for mercy and begging Lu Chen to teach him how to behave."
Everyone on the fourth floor was stunned and felt terrified.
Violence must be repaid!
Explosive body peeling!
So cruel!
What frightened everyone the most was that he had won one on three. What level was Lu Chen in?
At least get the first level of true essence!
Without this realm, it would be impossible to defeat the combined efforts of three peak warriors at the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm.
"Who will check the third floor?"
Zhou Ruoxue glanced around and saw that all those people's faces were ashen, and they no longer looked as high-spirited as before.
"I'll go."
A young man about thirty years old stood up.
That young man is a martial arts talent from Shuangmu City, his name is Zhang Chengbin, he is at the second level of the True Yuan Realm. He is the highest among these talents and the strongest in strength. Unfortunately, he is too old and has passed the martial arts recruitment age.
When everyone saw Zhang Chengbin coming forward, they immediately became confused.
He is at the second level of the True Yuan Realm. He is definitely not a cabbage. Why don't you beat Lu Chen half to death?
"If Lu Chen defeats Zhang Chengbin, he will come up and get fifty low-grade spiritual energy pills."
Zhou Ruoxue leaned beside Jiang Yao, half coquettishly, half complaining, "I told you earlier, what kind of return gift is written on the post, whether he will love you or not, fifty low-grade spiritual energy pills is not a small amount."
"If what Lu Zhengning said is true, Lu Chen can't beat Zhang Chengbin. At most, they are evenly matched. He can't go up to the fourth floor and can't get a gift in return."
Jiang Yao looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in his hand. He glanced at Zhou Ruoxue again and said with a smile, "He and you are like fire and water. Without any sweetness, he will not come back. Besides, it's just fifty low-grade spiritual energy pills. What's wrong with you?" Shuangmu City is a treasure, but it’s nothing in my eyes. There are many Ziyunmen.”
While talking, there was an explosion from the third floor!
