Chapter 28: Confrontation in Public

The many guests wore varied expressions, their inner thoughts suddenly growing complex.

What is the Tianming Sect trying to do? The hatred between Langya Pavilion and the Tianming Sect is known to all; it is absolutely not something that can be cleared up in a short while.

For a moment, the people present began to discuss it in hushed tones.

"Could this Tianming Sect be here to crash the party? Both the Sect Master and the Ancestor have come."

"Indeed, and I wonder if Langya Pavilion can survive this tribulation today," said another representative of a faction. In his impression, Bing Zunzhe did not seem to be a match for the Tianming Sect Ancestor.

"Am I the only one who just found out that the Tianming Sect has an Ancestor?" someone said gloomily from the side.

"Friend, I didn't know either. We are fellow travelers in this!" another person chimed in at this moment.

"Yes, that's right, fellow travelers..."

"......"

The others had no heart for joking around at this time; the existence of Tianming Laoyao was only known to the major factions of the Central Plains and some sects with long-standing traditions.

If Langya Pavilion did not have Bing Zunzhe presiding over it, it would likewise not be qualified to know such secrets of the Central Plains.

In other words, if you don't know about Tianming Laoyao, your strength is definitely not up to par, so there is no need to care.

Many people, seeing this formation today, had already begun to retreat, calculating how to slip away from the battlefield if the two sides started fighting directly.

However, there was another group of people wearing expressions of watching a good show, looking relaxed with their arms crossed over their chests. These were representatives of major factions who had absolutely no need to worry about being caught in the crossfire.

"You say, if Tianming Laoyao and Tianmingzi were directly wiped out, would the Tianming Sect be finished?" one of the faction representatives who had a grudge against the Tianming Sect said playfully.

"That goes without saying; you know how much the Tianming Sect invites hatred." It was clear that the Tianming Sect was definitely one of the most unwelcome sects in the Central Plains.

If not for Tianming Laoyao being a Half-Saint, heh, the fate of that former so-called Cloud Rain Sect would be a warning from the past.

"However, it shouldn't be realistic for Langya Pavilion to keep them here, right?" At this time, another powerhouse raised a question.

"If it were only Langya Pavilion, of course not, but have you forgotten who is present today?" After saying this, the man used his eyes to obscurely signal toward Tianyin Laoren, who had remained indifferent until now.

As fellow Half-Saints, Tianyin Laoren naturally did not fear Tianming Laoyao. In a life-and-death battle between the two, it was not certain who would win or lose.

Furthermore, this is Langya Pavilion; given his relationship with Langya Pavilion, it could even be considered half a home field. He was already in an invincible position.

However, Tianyin Laoren had no intention of making a move immediately. On one hand, the Tianming Sect had not yet acted. On the other hand, he wanted to see just how far that miraculous young man from back then had come.

Pushing time back a little further.

Langya Pavilion Disciples were diligently receiving the guests who had come to offer congratulations; after all, these were all money!

"Master of Kongyuan Gate, please enter." After checking the invitation, the Langya Pavilion Disciple said to the powerhouse before him with a smile.

Suddenly, he was tugged on the sleeve by a junior brother beside him. He frowned and turned to look, "What is it?"

The junior brother did not speak, or perhaps he was too excited to speak, and could only point in one direction. Following the direction of his finger,

"Tianming Sect!?" Without saying anything else, he immediately transmitted the news to an Elder.

Then he tidied his appearance and wore a smile as refreshing as a spring breeze.

"May I ask if the seniors of the Tianming Sect have come to offer congratulations to our Langya Pavilion?" the Disciple asked respectfully.

"That is correct. My Tianming Sect Ancestor and Sect Master have come to congratulate Bing Zunzhe on his wedding." An Elder of the Tianming Sect behind the two stepped forward and spoke, even using Dou Qi so that his loud voice carried directly to the venue.

This person was also someone the Langya Pavilion Disciple had seen; it was Senluo Guizun.

When Langya Pavilion and the Tianming Sect were at odds, this person had killed many Langya Pavilion Elders and Disciples.

A trace of hatred flashed through the Langya Pavilion Disciple's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

He just smiled and said, "Then please show your invitation."

"Invitation?" Before Tianming Laoyao or the other could say anything, Senluo Guizun jumped out first.

"The two most noble people of our Tianming Sect have come in person; this is an honor for your Langya Pavilion. You ignorant Disciple actually dare to ask us for an invitation?"

"Showing an invitation is the rule." At this moment, the Disciple's face also turned cold. People of Langya Pavilion, from top to bottom, were deeply influenced by Xiao Han; even if they did not like to cause trouble, they would never bow their heads or swallow their pride for others. Even if the Tianming Sect was stronger on paper.

When Langya Pavilion was first established, the strength of the Disciples and ordinary Elders was not strong, and because Xiao Han had offended many people, many factions would make things difficult for them when they went out.

At first, everyone considered the big picture and kept swallowing their pride, until Xiao Han found out...

"No need to endure. If you cause trouble, Langya Pavilion will help you block it. My Langya Pavilion's people can only be handled by Langya Pavilion."

This moved the Disciples deeply, and after a few large-scale sect brawls, there were not many people who dared to provoke Langya Pavilion Disciples anymore.

This was also the confidence Xiao Han had given them back then.

"Please do not make it difficult for me." Before the words fell, the Disciple's Dou Qi had already begun to circulate. At this time, other Disciples also gradually surrounded them.

This drew the attention of the surrounding guests, who simultaneously felt a trace of respect for the Langya Pavilion Disciples.

A group of Disciples, at most Dou Zongs, with a small number of Dou Huangs and the vast majority being Dou Wangs, were actually this brave.

Senluo Guizun's face suddenly turned ugly. Just as he was about to make a move to teach this ignorant Langya Pavilion Disciple a lesson, Tianming Laoyao spoke,

"Who said we don't have an invitation? Give him the invitation." After finishing, he signaled to Tianmingzi.

Tianmingzi, who was a step behind, took out the invitation and handed it over.

Now it was the Langya Pavilion Disciple's turn to be surprised. How could the Tianming Sect have an invitation to Langya Pavilion? After carefully verifying it repeatedly, it was indeed genuine.

Now he couldn't save face; it was a bit awkward...

However, what followed was relief; after all, if they fought, his side would definitely be unilaterally crushed.

"Apologies, this junior was anxious just now and was offensive. Please enter, honored guests."

At the same time, he cursed the Elder and Disciples responsible for this aspect in his heart. How did they manage to send an invitation to the Tianming Sect?

Well, when this matter is over, I will report it. The Disciple thought to himself.

Finally, the Elder arrived at this moment; it was that Elder Wang who had been in charge of the handover. He received an appreciative look from the other party.

You kid actually dared to stop the people of the Tianming Sect; I, old Wang, respect you as a man.

The Disciple felt as if he had been granted an amnesty; heaven knows where a "common" Dou Zong realm Disciple like him got the guts to challenge a group of Dou Zuns and a Half-Saint.

Before entering, Tianming Laoyao looked enviously at the surrounding Langya Pavilion Disciples who were eyeing them like tigers. Although he was not a good person, he still had an eye for talent.

This group of Disciples is much stronger than the crooked melons and split dates of the Tianming Sect; although their strength is not considered very high, their mental fortitude is extraordinary.

They dare to step forward even when facing people several major realms higher than themselves; compared to them, that group of Disciples from his own sect only knows how to bully others by relying on their status.

Sigh! It is simply too painful to watch.

Originally, the people from the Tianming Sect and Elder Wang could still "chat quite happily," but with the appearance of the congratulatory gifts, Elder Wang prepared to start calling for people.
