Chapter 646: 646

HuangFu YanHan and Song TianQiao were both extremely clear that while the Shui Family castle was filled with killing intent at every turn, it was the safest place for them . At the very least, the members from the Sky Alliance would not dare to infiltrate this place . Their number one priority now should be to protect their own lives .

In the middle of the hall, a banquet was laid . Regardless of whether they were enemies, friends or the judges from both the hidden sects, not a single person was missing .

After this meal, it would probably be impossible for these people to have the chance to dine together again! Among all of the people present, there would be a portion of them who would not have the chance to have another meal! This meal was considered a sacred feast for both the Yu and Shui Families . Regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, this was the final parting feast!

Historically, this meal before the battle was also the final attempt of the two hidden sects to resolve the hatred between both the families from a thousand years ago . However, this meal did not have any effect and rivers of blood were still created! At that time, the sect heads of both the hidden sects let out a long sigh to the heavens, ”Who would have thought that the banquet organized by both our sects would become the final meal for so many experts?!”

From then on, a rule was created . Before the final battle, the two families must gather together for a banquet! This banquet was the declaration of war and also their final goodbye! After the banquet, regardless of life or death, both the families would have to live peacefully for the next sixty years! All of their grievances and enmity would be settled after the banquet!

If the battlefield was in Heavenly Star, the Yu Family would naturally be the host . In Heavenly Wind, the Shui Family was naturally responsible! This had never changed for the past thousand years!

However, the meal this time was a little different than before . In the past, no one apart from the two sects would partic.i.p.ate in this feast but there were two additional individuals today . They were naturally the thick-skinned HuangFu YanHan and Song TianQiao . This was the first time a bystander was present during their banquet .

All of their faces were solemn .

Shui ManKong was seated on the master seat and beside him was the skinny number one expert in the family, Shui WuBo . Going down from there, the ones seated were the three cousins of Shui ManKong and finally, it was Shui QianRou . Below Shui QianRou were then the two hundred experts of the Shui Family taking part in the upcoming battle!

Shui ManKong was seated down silently without any expression on his face . No one would be able to tell the chilliness hidden within his eyes when he looked at his three cousins and the two hundred partic.i.p.ating Shui Family warriors .

Currently, Shui ManKong's hatred towards them had actually exceeded his hatred towards the Yu Family! For the Yu Family to scheme and plot against him, it was only to be expected as their families were enemies! Even if he died in the hands of the Yu Family, Shui ManKong would not let out a single complaint . As someone from the pugilistic world, it was only natural to die in the hands of his enemy! It was just like how a general would wish to give his life on a battlefield . However, for the members of his own family to plot and scheme against him with nefarious intentions, this was an unforgivable sin!

On the opposite of Shui ManKong and in the master seat of the guest seat was Yu ManLou . Below him was Yu ManTang, Yu ManTian, and Yu BingYan . Following them were the 200 Yu Family white jade experts led by 16 elders of the Yu Family! Their faces were all extremely calm as though they were having an ordinary meal .

In the midst of the silence, Shui WuBo's cold gaze suddenly looked towards Yu ManLou . Among all of his opponents, the only person who he considered as an equal was Yu ManLou . Yu ManLou who was originally seated calmly felt Shui WuBo's gaze and welcomed it with a smile . The moment the two of their gazes crossed, both of their bodies trembled imperceptibly .

The way the others saw it, these two gazes of these two individuals only met by coincidence but waves were generated in Shui WuBo's heart! He naturally knew that he was the one who took the initiative in their exchange and Yu ManLou had only welcomed his gaze .

Despite Shui WuBo taking the initiative and Yu ManLou being on the pa.s.sive side end, the two of them were still evenly matched!

The superior individual was immediately obvious!

Yu ManLou's martial arts were actually a level higher than his! This was Shui WuBo's conclusion! This conclusion made Shui WuBo's heart turn heavy .

Shui WuBo originally thought that with him around, no matter how powerful the Yu Family was, the victory of the number one expert should be firmly in their grasp . Who would have thought that Yu ManLou's martial arts were actually at such a level?!

This made Shui WuBo puzzled . He had spent all of his attention and energy in cultivating and his current attainments in his martial arts were only natural . However, as the Family Head of the Yu Family, Yu ManLou should have been bogged down by all of his responsibilities . Just how then did he cultivate to such a level?

With regards to the hidden exchange between these two individuals, there weren't many present who could tell . However, the eyes of those from Beyond Heavens and Outside Heavens glimmered slightly . Shui ManKong also frowned slightly and a few other experts from the Yu and Shui Family camps looked at each other with a knowing gaze .

In a corner where no one was paying attention to, Shui QianRou and Yu BingYan looked at each other with a mischievous expression . Shui QianRou grinned slightly and Yu BingYan made a funny face . However, the expressions on both their faces quickly returned to normal .

The servants of the Shui Family served up an endless amount of dishes . In the gigantic hall, apart from the footsteps of the servants and the sounds of the cutlery being placed on the table, no other sound could be heard . The atmosphere within the room was stifling to the extreme!

”It has been 120 years and we are gathered in this hall again . It is truly a joyous occasion!” As the host of this place, Shui ManKong naturally had to be the one to break the silence . The moment he spoke up, everyone's gaze looked over towards him, ”Allow me to first introduce our esteemed guests . ”

”These four are the experts from Beyond Heavens, fortune teller Ye QingChen, refined scholar Li ZhiFang, woodcutter Sun ChengLi, and chess fanatic Shen XiaoQiao . ” With Shui ManKong's introduction, the four individuals smiled and bowed their heads slightly .

”These experts are . . . ” Just when Shui ManKong was about to introduce the experts from Outside Heavens, a cold voice sounded, ”Is the legendary number one expert in the world, Justice, not present?”

The moment these words were spoken, the expressions of all eight experts changed!

The one who spoke was Shui WuBo . He was truly a crazy martial arts fanatic who was completely immersed in martial arts . He did not know what it meant to have manners and only he would feel a tinge of delight when saying such words in this setting! He interrupted the words of Shui ManKong, and this was a large taboo in any aristocratic family .

Furthermore, the meaning behind his question also implied that he only had Justice in his eyes and did not place the others in Beyond Heavens within his sights! This was a great humiliation to Ye QingChen and the others!

Furthermore, there was another severe consequence! That was Outside Heavens! Just when Shui ManKong had finished his introduction of the experts from Beyond Heavens and was about to introduce those from Outside Heavens, he was interrupted! This meant that this number one expert of the Shui Family no longer bothered about the existence of Outside Heavens and did not place them in his sights at all! This was akin to blatantly disregarding those from Outside Heavens and it was utter humiliation!

However, Shui WuBo did not have the intention of committing the above three transgressions . He did not have the intention to humiliate his family head, look down on Ye QingChen and the others or disregard Outside Heavens . He was only extremely interested and filled with respect towards the number one expert in the world, Justice . When he noticed that his Family Head did not introduce Justice's name, he naturally could not help but ask about Justice . But in the ears of others, this simple question of his seemed sufficient to stir up a b.l.o.o.d.y battle!

With Shui WuBo's status, Shui ManKong couldn't possibly openly give an explanation for Shui WuBo and say that Shui WuBo didn't know how to speak appropriately in such circ.u.mstances . Shui WuBo would also not bother giving any form of an explanation and thus caused the huge trouble that came with those words!

Feeling the eight unfriendly gazes filled with anger being fixed on him, Shui WuBo let out a grunt and glared back at them without backing down! You guys actually dare to provoke me?! Are you guys sick in the mind to provoke me at such a time? Do you think that I, Shui WuBo, will be afraid of you?!

Ye QingChen glanced at Shui WuBo before signaling to his companions to calm down . With his experience, he naturally understood that this wasn't the time to incite trouble . His three companions let out an unsatisfied grunt and sat down .

Even if Ye QingChen did not want to blow things up, it didn't mean that the others wouldn't .

An Outside Heavens elder with a hooked nose like an eagle's beak said with an unfriendly and chilly tone, ”I wonder what Elder Shui WuBo mean by those words?” Shui WuBo's disregard of their Outside Heavens had enraged him!
