Because he knew some inside information, he was so shocked.
Ling Fan's strength was probably even more terrifying than he had estimated.
"It is a great loss to the Hundred Saints Banquet that Pavilion Master Ling cannot attend!" The Divine Machine Emissary said regretfully, "However, it is also a great honor for our Divine Machine Tower to have Lord Ma Yaojun grace us with his presence. The Divine Machine Tower awaits your arrival!"
The Divine Machine Emissary respectfully handed an invitation to the demon horse. Thinking that he could finally return to report, he breathed a sigh of relief and left.
Time quickly passed until evening.
The demon horse was dressed in a flamboyant manner. Its powerful demonic energy transformed into a purplish-red battle armor. The single horn that Ling Fan had broken off on its head was specially reconnected with a fake divine metal. The tuft of curly hair on its head was also meticulously combed until it shone. Its four hooves were like steel and bronze, and its body was as sturdy as a dragon. It held its head high and chest out to attend the Hundred Saints Banquet.
The toad also insisted on going and followed along.
Ling Fan was still recuperating in the riverside tavern.
On the side of the Divine Machine Tower.
When the demon horse and the toad arrived, the top forces and top powerhouses from the other ten domains had also basically all arrived.
Among them, the Heavenly Dragon Academy and the Eastern Lin Dynasty from the Eastern Lin Domain had Quasi-Saint giants participating.
The Sect Master of the Heavenly Net Sect from the Heavenly Net Domain was also among the invited guests. If Ling Fan were here, he would not be unfamiliar with him, as the Sect Master of the Heavenly Net Sect had a grudge of a son's murder to avenge against him.
In addition, the top Seven-Star Martial Dao forces from various domains, such as the Red Sea King Sect and the Sea Demon Cult from the Yonghai Domain, the Blood Sea Golden Dragon Temple and the Supreme Seven Emotions Sect from the Nankang Domain, the Golden Crow Mountain Villa and the Golden Wind Palace, the Five Prisons Evil King Sect, and the Thunder God Palace from the Panshan Domain, the Heavenly Wolf Divine Hall and the Nine Stars Spiritual Emperor Sect from the Dongqing Domain, and so on, as well as the Demon Cloud Hall and the Sword King Mountain Villa, the Nine Rivers Dragon Palace from the Jiucang Domain, and so on...
The Heaven Mending Sect had also sent people, but the Sect Master Supreme of the Heaven Mending Sect did not attend in person. Instead, another powerful Quasi-Saint from the sect and other Quasi-Saints attended. Elder Jin also came. A total of four Quasi-Saints, which showed the formidable strength of the Heaven Mending Sect.
Nearly ninety Quasi-Saint level powerhouses had arrived.
Of course, the strength of each Quasi-Saint varied.
There were Quasi-Saints who had just entered the Quasi-Saint realm and had integrated less than 20% of the Dao, and there were also top Quasi-Saints who had integrated more than 90% of the Dao, with their saintly power vast as the sea. However, such powerhouses were a minority. Most of them were Quasi-Saint powerhouses who had integrated between 40% and 70% of the Dao.
The楼主 of the Divine Machine Tower appeared.
He wore a star crown and a cloud dragon robe. A rich treasure aura emanated from his star crown and robe, indicating that both were extremely powerful saint artifacts, showing the incredibly deep foundation of the Divine Machine Tower.
Moreover, the saintly aura emanating from the楼主 of the Divine Machine Tower was majestic and magnificent. He was at least a top Quasi-Saint who had integrated more than 90% of the Dao, a true giant. Like the Sect Master Supreme of the Heaven Mending Sect and the楼主 of the Demon Cloud Hall, he was one of the most popular candidates for the Saint Creation Assembly.
After the楼主 of the Divine Machine Tower introduced everyone, the Hundred Saints Banquet officially began. Various delicacies were served like a flowing stream, but none of these Quasi-Saint powerhouses were people who had not enjoyed the luxuries of the mortal world, so not many people actually ate these things.
Although these were also delicacies cooked with rare treasures from heaven and earth, and their nutritional value was extremely high, their real interest was in the prizes of this Hundred Saints Banquet.
Just as all the Quasi-Saint powerhouses were waiting for the prizes to be presented.
A sound like a wild boar that had been starving for ten days and half a month, grunting and gobbling, came from the side.
All the Quasi-Saint powerhouses had strange expressions on their faces, thinking who this person was, so shameless. They were all Quasi-Saint level figures with reputations, and they didn't care about their dignity at all, eating like starving ghosts.
They followed the sound and looked.
In a corner, a demon horse had its two hooves on the table, stuffing large pieces of meat into its mouth and pouring large amounts of fine wine into its mouth. It was eating with great joy, and its two large incisors were particularly conspicuous!
Beside the demon horse, a large golden toad was squatting on the table, afraid of losing the eating competition, and stuffing food into its mouth with its two claws.
This demon horse and this toad were eating as if no one else was around.
Where was there any trace of a master's demeanor!
They were clearly hooligans and starving ghosts reincarnated!
Immediately, some Quasi-Saint powerhouses were displeased, feeling that it was too demeaning to their reputation.
Did the Divine Machine Tower invite such monsters to the Hundred Saints Banquet, wasn't this disgusting them?
Moreover.
The strength of these two demonic beasts was clearly only at the peak of the Golden Core realm. How could they be qualified to sit at the same table and eat?
"楼主 of the Divine Machine Tower, where did these two beasts come from? They are merely at the peak of the Golden Core realm, why are they allowed to be seated and eat at the banquet!"
A powerful Quasi-Saint questioned.
The楼主 of the Divine Machine Tower smiled slightly, looking very refined and amiable, and said, "These two fellow Daoists of the demon race are new nobles from the Eastern Lin Domain, the people of Ling Tian Pavilion who defeated the Three Kings Hall... the demons."
"What is the origin of this Ling Tian Pavilion, that it could defeat the Three Kings Hall!"
Some Quasi-Saints could not help but say.
Although the Three Kings Hall was not among the top ranks in the ten domains, it was still well-known. Many powerhouses from other domains had heard of the Three Kings Hall.
Especially the Great Hall Master, King Wei, was a powerful Quasi-Saint who had integrated more than 70% of the Dao. Even in this Hundred Saints Banquet, there were not many who could surpass this King Wei.
If such a Quasi-Saint lost, then the Pavilion Master of Ling Tian Pavilion must be extraordinarily capable!
"Being able to defeat the Three Kings Hall, they are indeed qualified to be listed. However, why did the Pavilion Master of Ling Tian Pavilion not come in person, but instead sent two demonic pets to attend, isn't this lowering our status!"
Some Quasi-Saints were still unwilling to let the matter go.
The楼主 of the Divine Machine Tower smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, do not underestimate this Lord Ma Yao, a few days ago, Jin Buhuan, a Quasi-Saint of the Heaven Mending Sect, was defeated by the iron hooves of this Lord Ma Yao."
As soon as this was said, there was a slight commotion in the hall.
Many powerhouses could not help but look at the demon horse with proper eyes.
The demon horse accepted it calmly, feeling no pressure at all. It was a fierce and stubborn creature that feared nothing, so how could it show cowardice in such an occasion.
On the other hand, the toad was a little nervous in its heart.
After all, it was the weakest present. It was barely qualified to fight against a newly entered Quasi-Saint powerhouse, but any stronger Quasi-Saint, and it could only flee.
"Humph!"
"How dare you lay hands on my Heaven Mending Sect members! Today, I shall challenge you, you beast, to your esteemed skills!"
A cold snort came.
The leading Quasi-Saint of the Heaven Mending Sect who had come to attend the Hundred Saints Banquet stood up, his gaze like two soaring sharp blades, directly pointing at the demon horse.
The楼主 of the Divine Machine Tower's expression was calm, and he said, "It seems that the Absolute Quasi-Saint of the Heaven Mending Sect and this Lord Ma Yao have some past grievances. If that is the case, then the highlight of our Hundred Saints Banquet shall begin. All Quasi-Saints can spar with each other and verify their saintly paths. The one who ultimately wins and gains the approval of the crowd can receive the prize, which is this rare saint artifact taken from the Nine Cang Sacred Cave."
...
Just as the atmosphere of the Hundred Saints Banquet was about to reach its climax.
On the other side.
Ling Fan, who was cultivating with his eyes closed in the riverside tavern, suddenly opened his eyes and looked sharply in the direction of the Nine Cang Sacred Cave.
He cultivated all methods, and his perception of various mana, laws, and even saintly fluctuations was extremely keen. In that instant, he sensed very obvious fluctuations of all Dao from the Nine Cang Sacred Cave.
This kind of fluctuation was difficult for anyone who did not cultivate the Dao of All Methods to sense.
