Chapter 1604

Since the Nine Nether Realm showed no hostility, Shi Song and the others naturally wouldn't provoke trouble.

Thus, facing the approaching netherworld experts, Shi Song and the others greeted them with smiles.

"I am Shi Song, welcome, fellow netherworld dao friends."

"Shi Song dao friend, you're too polite; we came hastily, sorry for the disturbance."

After a brief exchange, everyone went together to the main hall, took their seats, and a steward served tea.

However, what surprised Shi Song was that among these netherworld experts, there were three Emperor Sovereigns, one of them at the Emperor Sovereign Perfection level, while the other two were Emperor Sovereign Great Accomplishment.

The remaining few were all at the Great Emperor Perfection realm; though few in number, their strength is not to be underestimated.

But in their speech and actions, it seemed they all took the youth in the middle as their leader.

This youth seemed to be the backbone of the group.

Shi Song was curious inside, but it wasn't proper to directly ask more.

However, this doubt didn't last long, because the netherworld Emperor Sovereign Perfection expert spoke up on his own.

"Shi Song dao friend, this is our netherworld's young master, Luo Jiuyou; we are accompanying him on his travels, and incidentally gathering some heavenly dao fortune."

"Netherworld young master?" Upon hearing, Shi Song returned the salute to Luo Jiuyou while secretly sizing him up.

"Great Emperor cultivation?" This was the first time Shi Song saw someone whose age matched Ye Zhangqing's yet whose cultivation was not lacking.

Of course, if calculated strictly, Luo Jiuyou's age is certainly older than Ye Zhangqing's, but he can still be considered of the same generation.

In other words, Luo Jiuyou is, so far, the only peer Shi Song has seen whose cultivation does not fall behind Ye Zhangqing's.

Like Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie, their talent is indeed good; they are Inner Disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi, and their cultivation resources are ample.

But now, how great is the gap between them and Ye Zhangqing?

Ye Zhangqing has already entered the Great Emperor realm, while Xu Jie and the others' strongest is only the Sacred Realm.

Even some Inner Disciples have not broken through to the Sacred Realm.

No wonder they could become Inner Disciples of the netherworld; it's not without reason—this talent likely stands at the very peak of all heavens and worlds, not yielding to Ye Zhangqing.

Shi Song didn't know that Ye Zhangqing's progress relied entirely not on talent; talent had nothing to do with it.

Brother is cheating; what need for talent?

Next came a bit of meaningless chatter; the Netherworld Realm was very interested in the Haotu World, and Shi Song and the others were likewise interested in the Netherworld Realm.

Both sides introduced each other's world characteristics, customs, and so on.

Of course, they also expressed some cooperative intentions, but this sort of thing cannot be decided upon a single meeting.

Especially the Netherworld Realm, standing at the peak of all heavens and worlds, their every move carries significant weight.

To cooperate, many aspects need consideration.

Shi Song didn't expect anything to come of it, but during the chat he had already sent word to Ye Zhangqing to host a banquet tonight for the many netherworld experts.

Ye Zhangqing nodded; more than ten people plus Shi Song's group, two tables would suffice, and it wouldn't be troublesome.

He threw the token to Chen Mang.

"Go to the sect's treasury and fetch a demon emperor ingredient; do not cause trouble."

"Yes, Elder Ye."

Too lazy to run himself; anyway, holding his own token, he could enter the sect treasury.

After giving instructions, Ye Zhangqing busied himself with other matters.

Unnoticed, it became dinner time; many disciples still gathered at the canteen entrance, the canteen bustling extraordinarily.

At the same time, Shi Song also brought the netherworld people to the canteen's private room.

After everyone sat down, Bai Hua Xianzi, Jueying, Chijiao, Qiu Baiyi, Bai Xian'er, and the five women again took on the role of attendants.

Just seeing Qiu Baiyi and Bai Xian'er bringing in the dishes, the netherworld experts were visibly startled.

It wasn't because of the ladies' looks; they were Emperor Sovereigns, Great Emperor cultivators, so their composure wouldn't be shaken by such a thing.

Even if they were dazzled, it would be just a flash; certainly they wouldn't do anything improper—only a fool would.

What surprised everyone was how these attendants could have Great Emperor and Emperor Sovereign cultivation.

Especially Qiu Baiyi and Bai Xian'er, Emperor Sovereign cultivation, coming to serve dishes? What does that mean?

But soon, everyone was drawn to the delicious food on the table.

"Shi dao friend, this dish.................."

"Haha, this is personally made by Elder Ye Zhangqing of our Dao Yi Shengdi; the taste is not bad, please try it."

Hearing that, the netherworld experts politely replied and each picked up their chopsticks to take a bite.

The next second, everyone's eyes widened; Luo Jiuyou looked at Shi Song with a shocked expression.

"Senior, you call this merely passable?"

As the netherworld young master, Luo Jiuyou has eaten untold mountain delicacies, sea treasures, and heavenly materials.

To speak without exaggeration, if something exists in all heavens and worlds, Luo Jiuyou need only say the word and he can obtain it.

But that single bite just now left Luo Jiuyou completely stunned.

Before he could recover, the Emperor Sovereign Perfection netherworld expert beside him mumbled unclearly.

"Young master, don't just stand there—eat... hurry up and eat."

Huh???

This guy is definitely loyal enough; even now he hasn't forgotten to remind Luo Jiuyou.

Having come to his senses, Luo Jiuyou watched the dishes disappearing from the table, his heart leapt, and he hurriedly began to eat.

If he doesn't eat now, there'll be none left.

The taste is absolute, the effect absolute; the more they ate, the more Luo Jiuyou and the netherworld experts' hearts were shocked.

This food is simply heaven-defying.

The table of food was eaten up just as before, like wind sweeping away scattered clouds, and everyone still looked unsatisfied.

Especially the underworld tribe, their tongues couldn't help but keep licking their lips.

Luo Jiuyou couldn't help but turn her head and say to the Emperor Sovereign of the underworld tribe beside her.

"I think we can stay a bit longer in the Haotu world."

"That's what the Young Master said."

Upon hearing that, the Emperor Sovereign of the underworld tribe nodded without hesitation, agreeing—he also had that idea.

"As for the Tiāndào Qìyùn, aren't there other teams? Anyway, their Nine Nether Realm isn't lacking in Tiāndào Qìyùn."

"This is the confidence of the top-tier worlds of the Zhu Tian Wan Jie."

"Hearing Luo Jiuyou's words, Shi Song naturally welcomed it greatly; the three Dongfang brothers rolled their eyes, secretly wondering if they could also win over the Nine Nether Realm."

"If that's the case, then we truly need not fear the Human Emperor Palace and the demon tribe."

"In casual chat, the people of the Nine Nether Realm unintentionally learned from Shi Song that the Eternal Night Old Ancestor was actually also in the Dao Yi Shengdi."

"Upon saying that, the faces of the three Emperor Sovereigns of the underworld tribe from the Nine Nether Realm obviously changed, some doubtful."

"Is what Fellow Daoist Shi Song saying true? Is the Eternal Night Old Ancestor really in the Dao Yi Shengdi?"

"That's natural; I wouldn't deceive you all over this matter."

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand; we think since the Eternal Night Old Ancestor senior is also here, we should proactively pay a visit."
