Even Lan Ao, who had brought up this topic earlier, couldn't help but frown slightly.
His original intention was to test Meng Dongsheng's attitude toward this genius.
Unexpectedly, Meng Dongsheng actually took the bait shamelessly.
Not ashamed, but complacent?
How badly off must Sect of Flaming Fire be to place their hopes on such a person?
Of course, many of the guests in the venue are results-oriented people.
Meng Dongsheng had turned his back on the Sect of Flaming Fire and joined the Sword Pavilion of the East. This choice proved that his decision was the right one.
The rest had no reason to criticize.
"The Sect of Flaming Fire members are too persistent. They've lost so many games to us already, but they haven't won a single one. With each additional corpse hanging from Duan Tianya, they must have become anxious and put all their resources on this one person, creating this 'Lin Chen'!"
Meng Dongsheng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, smiling confidently, "The Sect of Flaming Fire's move is futile. It will only bring shame upon themselves."
"Yes, Mr. Meng is right."
"When the entire territory of Dongyuan regards the Sword Pavilion of the East as the most respected sect, what is the Sect of Flaming Fire trying to prove?"
"The main issue is that the Sect of Flaming Fire is too arrogant. They've fallen to this point and still refuse to admit defeat!"
"If they don't admit defeat, they will continue to fight. Sooner or later, the geniuses of the Sect of Flaming Fire will be wiped out."
Many guests praised Meng Dongsheng with every word.
Meng Dongsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, evidently enjoying the feeling of being praised.
He changed his tone and said arrogantly, "From the beginning, the Sect of Flaming Fire should not have opposed the Sword Pavilion of the East. They should have knelt down and begged for mercy, without even considering their own strength. They had to be stubborn. Look at those twelve corpses hanging on Duan Tianya, they are the best proof!"
His words were full of pride.
Especially Meng Dongsheng's haughty appearance that made Lin Chen surge with rage from afar.
He had completely forgotten that he was once... also a disciple of the Sect of Flaming Fire!
He had also sworn to Duan Tianya that no matter what, he would retrieve the corpses of his senior brothers in the future.
The key point was that apart from Meng Dongsheng, there were others who had also been humiliated in various ways.
The many guests were all mocking the Sect of Flaming Fire for overestimating their abilities.
"Creak."
Lin Chen clenched his fists tightly, and unimaginable, crazy killing intent emerged from his eyes.
It was as if the wind and clouds were gathering at this moment to form a terrifying attack.
"Lin Chen, calm down!"
Tuntun sensed his killing intent and quickly tried to persuade him, "You're no match for him at all. Even if you go up, you'll just be courting death!"
"I know."
Lin Chen said word by word, "But I can't stand his attitude."
This is the territory of Dongyuan!
This is the City Lord's Mansion of the Seven Heart City!
The guests present were all renowned.
If he were to stand up and cause a scene, it would be difficult for him to leave the City Lord's Mansion safely.
"If I challenge Meng Dongsheng, what do you think my chances of winning are?"
Lin Chen gritted his teeth, his voice cold.
"Chance of winning?"
Tuntun was momentarily stunned, then he smiled bitterly, "Meng Dongsheng's aura has probably reached level three of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Even compared to the older generation of experts, he is not inferior. You can't be reckless!"
"In other words, my chances of winning are very low?"
Lin Chen asked unwillingly.
"That's right, very low."
Tuntun said seriously, "However, you can surpass him within a month at the most! As long as you advance to the Heavenly Spirit Realm and allow me to understand the 'Awakening Technique', I will not be afraid of him in the slightest in a head-on battle!"
Tuntun said this with great confidence.
Lin Chen was now at the ninth level of the Earth Spirit Realm.
He was still two realms away from the Heavenly Spirit Realm!
Crossing two realms in one month.
This kind of talent was absolutely monstrous!
As long as he could reach the Heavenly Spirit Realm, he would definitely be able to defeat Meng Dongsheng!
"What a coincidence, there is one and a half months left until the battle between the Sect of Flaming Fire and the Sword Pavilion of the East."
A thoughtful expression flickered in Lin Chen's eyes.
Previously, that young senior sister had sent a message saying that in a month at the most, the Sword Pavilion of the East would begin attacking the sword bones in her body!
He was afraid that before this battle, he would have already come into conflict with the Sword Pavilion of the East.
Become stronger!
He had to become stronger!
Only when he was strong enough would he be able to deal with all of this.
At this moment, Meng Dongsheng also sat back down, chatting and laughing with Zhang Lu.
Obviously, they were determined to win over Lan Ao!
This banquet ended very quickly.
Meng Dongsheng took Zhang Lu with him and followed Lan Ao toward the inner palace.
Some of the other factions who had also wanted to win over Lan Ao all showed helplessness when they saw this.
The Sword Pavilion of the East had even sent Zhang Lu, and they showed no intention of giving the other factions any opportunities.
Zhang Lu was one of the top three spirit pattern masters in the entire territory of Dongyuan!
If even he couldn't do it, then there was probably no one in the territory of Dongyuan who could.
"Come on, let's go in too."
Lin Chen followed closely behind Tuntun.
Upon entering the inner courtyard, two guards reached out to stop Lin Chen.
"Move out of the way, I'm going in to treat City Lord Lan!"
Lin Chen glanced at the two of them and said coldly.
After experiencing being blocked by a steward before, Lin Chen knew that he had to be tough!
He had to maintain a certain aura!
Otherwise, people would look down on him.
The two guards were shocked, "Didn't the master who came to treat him just now already go in?"
"Stop talking nonsense, you're delaying City Lord Lan's treatment. Even if the two of you have nine lives, it won't be enough to pay for it!"
Lin Chen pushed the two of them away and snorted coldly, striding inside.
The two guards looked at each other, not daring to catch up and ask any more questions.
At this moment, inside the room in the mansion, a handsome young man lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
The young man's name was Lan Qingfeng, and he was Lan Ao's only son!
His face was pale, and his upper body was bare, revealing three clearly visible wounds on his chest.
The wounds looked like they had been scratched by sharp claws. The scars were so deep that flesh and blood were visible.
The main issue was that the scars extended all the way to his lower abdomen, actually injuring his dantian!
It was no wonder that even with the City Lord's Mansion's financial resources, Lan Qingfeng's injuries could not be treated.
His injuries were far more serious than rumored!
"Young master is in the room, Master Zhang Lu, please come in!"
Lan Ao walked into the courtyard.
Behind him were Meng Dongsheng and Zhang Lu.
At this moment, a clear voice came from not far away, "City Lord Lan, I can cure your young master's illness!"
The three people couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the speaker.
It was a young man with a handsome face, striding over like a sharp sword.
He wore a black robe, and his expression became even more determined under the sunlight.
Meng Dongsheng's pupils shrank slightly. Wasn't this the kid he had seen on Duan Tianya before?
His eyes met with his, and there was a faint flash of killing intent in his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, it was him!
"Who are you?"
Lan Ao frowned, feeling slightly displeased.
Where did this kid come from?
"Sect of Flaming Fire, Lin Chen."
Lin Chen looked proud and said, "City Lord Lan can let him try first. If he can't cure him, then please let me try!"
