Chapter 2571

The group of spellcasters had arrived with great momentum; after all, they had blockaded the wasteland planet, swearing to eliminate Su Xiao today. The result was that they did indeed find Su Xiao, but they could only leave in disgrace, and had to retreat within 5 seconds.

In Serphilia's view, Beast King White Bull was a desperado in the top tier of the Void; there was nothing he dared not do. He had offended major races like the Feather Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Star Clan, yet until today, he was still alive. White Bull was the leader of various dark forces in the Void.

"Serphilia, are we just going to withdraw like this?"

A middle-aged spellcaster spoke, his face full of anger. When had the Arcane Eternal Star ever suffered such humiliation?

"Why withdraw?"

"Although we don't fear him, that desperado White Bull..."

"The Empty Seat Banquet will end before long; we just need to continue blockading the wasteland planet."

Hearing Serphilia's words, the spellcaster behind her suddenly realized; he had been blinded by anger and had forgotten this point.

"Blockade the surrounding areas. Don't worry about where the Saintess, Blade Demon, White Bull, or that mysterious person go; just block Kukulin Bai Ye."

"Understood."

The spellcasters dispersed, surrounding a large area. Not only that, more spellcasters continued to arrive at the wasteland planet.

On the steps in front of the fog wall, Su Xiao was checking the items in his storage space. In the transactions at this Empty Seat Banquet, he didn't have many bargaining chips, as the strength of the other Starry Sky Seat members was far greater than his.

This time, Su Xiao brought 10,000 grams of Black Maple Tree branches, which was 20 catties. Besides the branches, there were also 570 Black Maple leaves.

During the growth process of the Black Maple Tree, the branches would fall off layer by layer as it grew, and the leaves didn't fall slowly either. This shedding process was called the produce of the Black Maple Tree, rather than actively cutting branches or pulling off Black Maple leaves.

Su Xiao didn't know how much produce other Black Maple Trees had, but his tree had quite a lot. Moreover, he discovered that his tree was somewhat different from the one in the Black Abyss.

Many people had seen the Black Maple Tree at the bottom of the Black Abyss, so many photos and images had circulated. The Blade Demon didn't stay in the Sea of Living Flowers all the time, but no one could get close to the Black Maple Tree in the center of the sea of flowers.

Su Xiao compared the Black Maple Tree in the Abyss with his own. He found that the bark of the Black Maple Tree in the Abyss tended to be black-brown, while the bark of his tree was pure black. Beneath the bark was a tree trunk as white as jade, making one want to tear off a piece and chew it in their mouth.

Su Xiao felt that this was likely caused by the growth environment. He didn't know what kind of treatment other Black Maple Trees had when they first broke through the soil, but his tree was served with Soul Crystals as soon as it broke through.

Later, Su Xiao used his Hunter permission to simulate the harsh environment suitable for the growth of the Black Maple Tree through Reincarnation Paradise, allowing this Black Maple Tree to grow sturdily while also experiencing wind and rain, rather than becoming a mass-produced item in a greenhouse.

Moreover, the origin of this Black Maple Tree was also quite special. The location where the old Law-Breaker was originally located was the Land of Origin and End. That was not a place in the Void, so the Black Maple Tree that could grow there was certainly not ordinary.

Su Xiao didn't know if Black Maple leaves would produce tree seeds, but there were only 3 Black Maple Trees in the Void, which explained a lot.

Su Xiao only tore off a piece of bark from the Black Maple Tree growing in the Land of Origin and End, and he successfully planted a Black Maple Tree. Of course, this also had a lot to do with the environment inside Reincarnation Paradise.

"Blade user, how much Black Maple Tree produce did you bring this time?"

The Saintess spoke. Hearing her words, Su Xiao had a moment of doubt in his eyes, but then he realized she was asking the Blade Demon.

"Stolen."

The Blade Demon spoke in a low voice. The other Starry Sky Seat members weren't surprised; when the Blade Demon was relatively clear-headed, he could communicate, but this state wouldn't last long.

"Stolen? Your Black Maple Tree produce was stolen?! Who was it? Too wicked. I urgently need Black Maple Tree produce. No, go back and cut some off, go now, woo~ I beg you."

The Saintess's mentality collapsed. The Blade Demon ignored her completely, just sitting there with his head slightly lowered, seemingly pondering something.

"I've waited so long, just waiting for you to bring Black Maple Tree produce when you're relatively clear-headed."

White Bull's tone was inevitably disappointed. However, besides the Black Maple Tree produce, transactions with others were equally important; he had brought quite a lot of resources this time.

Su Xiao remained silent. He vaguely guessed who had taken the Blade Demon's Black Maple Tree produce.

A cloud of black mist emerged. A few seconds later, the black mist gathered more and more, finally forming a human shape.

"Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting."

The Black Mist figure arrived. His voice was very old. Initially, Su Xiao thought he was using black mist to hide his appearance, physique, etc., but now it seemed that wasn't the case; his true form was black mist.

The Black Mist figure drifted to the front of the fog wall, and his arm, made of black mist, pressed onto it.

Click, click~

A strained door-opening sound came; it seemed a giant door behind the fog wall was opening.

"Finally starting. The last time the Empty Seat Banquet was held was five years ago, right?"

The Saintess walked into the fog wall, and her aura completely vanished.

"Indeed. I hope the next one can be sooner, preferably once a month."

As White Bull spoke, he also walked into the fog wall. The Leader and the Blade Demon had already entered.

Bubu Wang ran forward and poked its dog paw forward. No sense of danger appeared, so it also entered the fog wall. Just at this moment, the Starry Sky Ring on Su Xiao's index finger lit up with a faint glow.

Su Xiao came to the front of the fog wall and stepped forward on the steps. Mist filled his vision. After walking a few meters, two open giant metal doors appeared ahead.

Following the steps upward, after walking into the tall door that was at least several dozen meters high, a great hall shrouded in mist appeared before his eyes.

A circular stone table with a wide diameter was located in the center of the hall, with seven seats around it, and the Void numbers 0~6 on the back of the chairs.

The Black Mist figure was already sitting in the seat representing 0. Seeing this, Su Xiao came to the seat representing 5 and sat down.

With a loud boom, the giant doors of the hall closed, and mist emerged on the surrounding walls, sealing this place.

"Let's begin. When the last Empty Seat Banquet ended, the Saintess hoped to obtain the 'Star Imprint', White Bull needed 'Life Source', the Phantom Troupe Leader needed the 'World Core', and the Blade Demon needed... cough, the Blade Demon didn't come last time."

The Black Mist figure's fingers tapped on the stone table, and the phantoms of three items appeared. These were the items needed by the Saintess, White Bull, and the Leader at the end of the last Empty Seat Banquet. If any member had obtained them, they could trade with them now.

"Leader, I've obtained the World Core. This is the core of a world outside the Void. It cost me over a hundred thousand people to get this thing. If you have 'Life Source' in your hand, I can exchange it with you. You all know that for me, 'Life Source' is more important than anything else."

White Bull took out a translucent crystal, a World Core the size of a walnut.

"Coincidentally, I found 'Life Source'."

The Leader snapped his fingers, and his seat and White Bull's were shrouded in mist. A moment later, the mist dissipated.

"Very good. Eating it will at least suppress my injuries for a few years. Sooner or later, I'll slaughter that Abyss Dragon."

White Bull was very satisfied and nodded to the Leader. The Leader smiled and said nothing.

"What about mine? Who found the 'Star Imprint'?"

Everyone was silent. Just as the Saintess sighed, a voice came.

"I have, Star, Imprint."

The Blade Demon suddenly spoke. The next instant, the Starry Sky Seat went quiet. Everyone's gaze turned to the Blade Demon, and the Saintess had an expression of having seen a ghost.
