Chapter 1383: Nine out of ten parts are wrong
Looking at Li Zhengqing and the others' absent-minded appearance, the Cloud Luo Sacred Master was speechless. He had racked his brains here and couldn't find an answer, but these guys were good, each of them had wandered off.
Just then, a rich fragrance drifted through the air, and Li Zhengqing and the others' eyes lit up.
"Is it time to eat?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Sacred Master, let's go quickly, we won't be able to eat if we're late."
Completely unable to understand what they were talking about, the Cloud Luo Sacred Master was forcibly dragged away, heading straight for the City Lord's Mansion.
Li Zhengqing and the others had been thinking about this meal for too long.
Sprinting all the way, they soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, outside the City Lord's Mansion, a large number of cultivators had already gathered.
Each of them was impatient, as if waiting for something.
"This is..."
The Cloud Luo Sacred Master was a bit confused. What are they doing? Why are they all surrounding it?
"What are you doing?"
"Greetings, Sacred Master, we are preparing to eat."
"Eat?"
After asking a few cultivators and learning that they were all waiting to eat, the Cloud Luo Sacred Master was even more confused.
Their cultivation levels are not low, shouldn't they have been fasting long ago?
Looking at Li Zhengqing and the others beside him, they were almost drooling, clearly also waiting to eat.
"You are just for a bite of food?"
"Otherwise?"
Li Zhengqing replied as a matter of course. Upon hearing this, the Cloud Luo Sacred Master was numb. You are at least Great Saints, and a bite of food has made you crave it like this?
Just as the Cloud Luo Sacred Master wanted to say something else, the courtyard door opened, and Li Zhengqing and the others hurriedly walked in.
Seeing this, the Cloud Luo Sacred Master followed with a complex expression. It's just a meal, I want to see what kind of magic it has.
Thinking this, he soon arrived at the backyard.
Today, to entertain the Cloud Luo Sacred Ground and the Jade Pool Sacred Ground, the Dao One Sect specially prepared a banquet. Of course, the Heaven-Reaching Sacred Ground had no share.
With the arrival of the Cloud Luo Sacred Master, Lu Youyou, Liu Shuang, and others soon led the group into the room.
At this time, the Jade Pool Sacred Master and the elders of the Jade Pool Sacred Ground had also arrived.
"You are here too?"
Seeing the Jade Pool Sacred Master and her group, the Cloud Luo Sacred Master was stunned. This was rare; usually, these women were all very cold.
Everyone sat down, with Facing Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, Yu Mo, and others accompanying them.
As dishes were brought up one by one, a rich fragrance made the Cloud Luo Sacred Master take a deep breath.
"So fragrant."
This was the first time the Cloud Luo Sacred Master had smelled such a scent, and it seemed he could understand Li Zhengqing and the others a little.
"Everyone, don't be polite, let's drink this cup."
As the host, Facing Qi Xiong naturally took the initiative to toast, and the Cloud Luo Sacred Master and the Jade Pool Sacred Master did not refuse.
After drinking a cup of wine, everyone took a bite of food.
As the delicious taste exploded in their mouths, not to mention the Cloud Luo Sacred Master, even the Jade Pool Sacred Master, who had always been calm, had her eyes wide open, looking incredulous.
This taste was simply beyond their imagination. Could there be such delicious food in this world?
No wonder the cultivators in Ten Thousand Demon Pass were crazy for a bite of food; this taste was simply unique.
Next, the Cloud Luo Sacred Master and the Jade Pool Sacred Master saw their speed increasing, almost eating until they left afterimages.
"Holy crap, Sacred Master, slow down, leave some for us."
"Senior Sister, I haven't even eaten a bite yet."
"Wuwuwu, you are slow, can you blame me?"
"Don't take the plate, that's cheating."
"You guys have such good things and never told me, and you still have the face to eat?"
The ingredients were just ordinary Demon King ingredients, but through Ye Changqing's craftsmanship, the taste indeed made the two Sacred Masters go crazy.
After a whirlwind of eating, at least half of the full table of dishes went into the stomachs of the Cloud Luo Sacred Master and the Jade Pool Sacred Master.
The Cloud Luo Sacred Master was okay, but after eating, the Jade Pool Sacred Master wiped her mouth with a flushed face.
For her, who had always paid attention to etiquette, today was truly a bit impolite, but there was no way, the food was too fragrant, and it was really irresistible.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Yu Mo, Sect Master Qi, your sect's food is really delicious."
Even the Cloud Luo Sacred Master smiled a bit embarrassedly.
To this, Facing Qi Xiong and the others smiled and nodded indifferently.
Now that the meal was over, it was time to talk about business. Facing Qi Xiong immediately restrained his smile and said seriously.
"I wonder how the two Sacred Masters view the current situation in Central Continent?"
"This..."
The two could become Sacred Masters, so they were naturally not ordinary people, and they instantly heard the subtext of Facing Qi Xiong's words.
It was just that they weren't sure what he meant for a moment, so they didn't answer, but asked back.
"I wonder what Sect Master Qi means by this..."
"Actually, there is nothing to hide. I'll just say it directly. Given the relationship between the Dao One Sect and the Heaven-Reaching Sacred Ground, there will probably be a battle in the future."
Sure enough, it was related to the Heaven-Reaching Sacred Ground. The Cloud Luo Sacred Master and the Jade Pool Sacred Master both fell into silence.
Regarding this matter, their attitude was surprisingly consistent: they would not intervene.
They would not help the Heaven-Reaching Sacred Ground, and of course, they would not help the Dao One Sect. So, now that Facing Qi Xiong proactively brought it up, the two naturally would not give any promises.
Of course, all of this was within Facing Qi Xiong's expectations.
Seeing the two silent, Facing Qi Xiong also stated his purpose directly.
"I know the two of you are in a difficult position. Actually, what my Dao One Sect wants is very simple. The Cloud Luo Sacred Ground and the Jade Pool Sacred Ground should not participate in this matter. I think this should be in line with the two of you's thoughts, right?"
Hmm???
Just this one request? Hearing this, the Cloud Luo Sacred Master and the Jade Pool Sacred Master's eyes fell on Facing Qi Xiong.
Just not intervening? But where does the Dao One Sect get the confidence?
Don't look at the Dao One Sect's current momentum, but to be honest, compared to the Heaven-Reaching Sacred Ground, there is still a gap.
However, from Facing Qi Xiong's words, it was not hard to hear the thick confidence—a confidence to replace the Heaven-Reaching Sacred Ground.
For a moment, they were a bit confused, but if it was just this, the Cloud Luo Sacred Master and the Jade Pool Sacred Master could accept it.
The Heaven-Reaching Sacred Master didn't know about the conversation between Facing Qi Xiong and the two Sacred Masters.
At this time, he was thinking about the Dao One Sect's various actions today. Tomorrow is the negotiation with the demon race. What kind of medicine is the Dao One Sect selling in its gourd?
It was just that no matter how he guessed, he couldn't think of an answer.
A night passed, and the next morning, the rich fragrance of food drifted through Ten Thousand Demon Pass again.
The people of the Heaven-Reaching Sacred Ground also smelled it, and each of them was craving it.
"This fragrance seems to be drifting from the City Lord's Mansion." ===== CHAPTER 1384 =====
