Chapter 98 - 98 : Gathering of Experts (2/2)

”Kilan, As friendly and forceful as ever, huh?”

The red-haired Meyzu was an old friend of this white-haired man so despite Kilan never ceasing to talk with him, he didn't appear disgusted or irritated.

”Oh come on don't say that, I was very happy to come here you know, it's been centuries since we met.”

This man was called Kilan, the current leader of the Monster Race and a person at the God Realm 8th Grade too. Many Monster generals and elders came with him too and sat a corner like the others too.

Only the Abyss Valley people didn't come, no one did expect them to come anyways but that didn't mean they were afraid, it was the strongest faction and the most mysterious one, no one would be brave enough to belittle it or pick a fight with it.

It is said that the Void Behemoth had long since transcended the God Realm, so people like Aborak and Kilan are no match for him even if they joined hands.

Aborak didn't seem to mind that Lucy was wearing a mask, with his Realm, it was very easy to see her real appearance but he didn't bother to dig further.

As for Kilan, he frowned as he inspected Lucy then Arthur, they were only at the Immortal Realm and weren't special or strong enough to sit where they were sitting, so he was kind of curious.

”Hey Meyzu, who's those two over there?”

As he said that, he pointed at the two of them with his eyes. The red-haired Meyzu glanced at them but didn't seem interested or curious like Kilan, after looking at them for a couple of seconds, he shook his head whilst replying

”I don't know, probably some people from one of those reclusive sects, they are like flies after all, why are you so interested...”

Kilan slapped Meyzu's shoulder while chuckling, he didn't reply to that question, no one knows what he was thinking at that moment.

...

Arthur obviously knew he was probed by Kilan more than one time but he wasn't worried much as someone such as Kilan wouldn't dare act in here.

Lucy's gaze never left Lissandra, who was enjoying the banquet to its fullest, she would talk with some of the elders or gaze at the guests with a seductive smile on her face.

She was considered a god to the people in Astria and she was indeed at the God Realm, she only stumbled upon Astria by chance and made a small organization there as she found a portion of Zodiak's power there, so she instructed people to look for more but apart from 2 portions in the Demon Continent and 1 portion in the Western Continent, there nothing in the rest of the world.

The Grand Banquet livened up as Juniors began showcasing their skills and techniques in front of the elders, whether to display their power or entertain the older generation.

”We proceed as planned, begin preparing.”

Arthur reminded Lucy so as she would not lose focus because of her anger, things need to be done according to the plan, It's true Lissandra is in the God Realm but they would still follow their plan.

All 6 of the 7 seats were now full, there was only one seat left empty, many people wondered who that person was, maybe it was for the leader of the Abyss Valley? But the behemoth's body is way bigger than the whole garden so it left them curious about the identity of this mysterious person.

As the atmosphere was as its peak, a floating figure appeared in the night sky. It was an azure-clothed middle-aged man, he had a serene and calm face and showed a friendly smile as he was coming down.

”Excuse me for being late.”

Bai Lingyue apologized as he descended on the stage.

”Hahaha, no need for Senior Bai to apologize, the banquet had just begun.”

The one who spoke was the old man from the Royal Cobra Clan, he wasn't offended by the lateness of Azure Bai and welcomed him to sit in the chair right next to him.

Bai Lingyue just nodded and sat next to the old man, just as he sat, he began chatting with old Li, who was the clan master old man of the Royal Cobra Clan.

Their relationship couldn't be considered great, they were just being respectful to him because his position was rather high. Although he was only at the Peak of the Divine Realm, he was respected by all the three clans masters.

As for Aborak, he remained silent since he got here, only lifelessly staring at the riven just below.

Kilan was opposite to Aborak, he wanted to build a good relationship with Azure Bai so he butted in and tried to give a good impression.

”I see that the juniors are exchanging pointers, good good, I heard that there are some amazing talents in here.”

Bai Lingyue said that as he gazed at the stage that was put in the center of the garden, it was meant for the juniors to fight each other and learn from each other.

His gaze passed Lucy and Arthur for a second before he stared back at them again; Arthur had a completely different aura to him, he also broke through to the Immortal Realm, so no matter how much he thought, Bai Lingyue couldn't guess who the person next to Lucy was.

As for her, he just nodded at her while smiling, he was very curious about why Arthur is not here and who the person next to her is, but he didn't go and ask. No matter was he thought, the idea of the male near Lucy being Arthur never crossed his mind.

He had unfathomable strength and could see through Lucy's mask, so he probed Arthur's current 'body' and couldn't find even a strand of Arthur's presence, for someone as talented as him, that only meant one thing and that it's not Arthur but a different person, too bad he is totally wrong and that Arthur had a special race.

The fighting that occurred from the start was considered just a beginning, the real show will begin only when all-powerful figures are present and paying attention, with that in mind the talent youths readied themselves to begin and show their awesomeness and improvement to their elders.

Arthur circulated the two techniques he practices and absorbed Nether Energy to ready himself.

”It's time to begin....”
