Hearing this, Yuan Ke shrugged and spread his hands towards Yuan Jing.
"Third Prince, you're wrong. I saw that this banquet wasn't lively enough, so I brought people over to liven things up for you. And you're still unhappy? Should a Prince like you be trying to win over so many young talents?"
The Second Prince shook his head disdainfully at Yuan Jing.
"Third Prince, behave yourself. Today, I've invited Gu Xuantong, Brother Gu, from the White Tiger Family, and next to him is Yu Jingzi, the Grand Disciple of Great Master Zhu from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. I don't need to tell you their identities and statuses, do I?"
"Third Prince, if I give you face today, I'll treat you as the Third Prince. But if you don't appreciate it, I'll let you know what you're up against."
Yuan Ke's expression darkened.
Not only him, but everyone present also fell silent, as if the identities and statuses of these two were quite extraordinary.
"I do know a bit about Gu Xuantong; he indeed has some identity and status. But what exactly is going on with this Yu Jingzi from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?"
Qin Xuan was truly unclear.
Not only him, but even Han Ye had never heard of it.
"If even I haven't heard of it, then it means it's definitely not some extraordinary place."
Although Han Ye had been hidden on Lei Yun Peak for many years, with his extensive knowledge, if it were truly a major power, he would naturally have known about it long ago.
The fact that even he didn't know meant that this power was indeed not that impressive.
However, Qin Xuan looked around, and almost everyone present had fallen silent at this moment. This indicated that this power was certainly not ordinary, which left Qin Xuan a bit puzzled.
His gaze passed over the Second Prince and Gu Xuantong, landing on the last person.
This was the Yu Jingzi the Second Prince had spoken of.
This person was completely enveloped in a black robe, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Those eyes were distinctly different from human eyes; their pupils were vertical.
This Grand Disciple of Great Master Zhu was not human at all.
If Gu Xuantong was a Human Race Cultivator with the White Tiger Bloodline, then this so-called Grand Disciple of Great Master Zhu from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain had absolutely no trace of human Bloodline!
Golden light flickered within his double pupils. A moment later, Qin Xuan had seen through the 'person's' true form.
This was actually a half-human, half-snake demon!
A demon had appeared in the capital of Da Gan, and even at the banquet prepared by the Imperial Family!
Qin Xuan felt a cold sweat run down his back.
"So it's Brother Yu Jingzi from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and Brother Gu from the White Tiger Family. Then I was indeed rude. I will immediately have a new banquet prepared for Brother Gu and Brother Yu."
Yuan Jing hastily ordered his subordinates to prepare food.
"No need!"
Just then, a sharp voice emerged from beneath the black robe.
"So many living people, just give me a few, no need for so much trouble?"
A strange laugh came from that direction, and everyone present instantly changed their expressions.
This Grand Disciple of Great Master Zhu from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain actually wanted to eat people!
"This... isn't appropriate. I'll immediately have people slaughter cattle and sheep."
The Third Prince's face had become incredibly cold. He clenched his fists.
Today, he had gathered everyone here, originally intending to win over everyone.
But now, the situation had turned into this.
If people were eaten here today, how could he establish himself in the future?
"Heh, I'm tired of eating cattle and sheep in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. I still want to eat a person or something. When I came, I heard that His Highness, the Third Prince, gathered the Disciples who are going to the Kun Peng Nest for a banquet this time."
"That's great. The flesh of a Cultivator contains a large amount of Spiritual Qi, so it's naturally the most nourishing to eat. How about His Highness, the Third Prince, reluctantly parts with a few Cultivators for me to eat? In return, when Da Gan goes to war with other countries next time, I'll have my Old Ancestor help you all, how about that?"
The demon from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain laughed coldly, his voice icy and sharp.
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present immediately changed.
Especially those Cultivators, all of them looked at His Highness, the Third Prince, with grim faces.
If His Highness, the Third Prince, really allowed this demon to eat people, they would flee on the spot.
"There's no need to make His Highness, the Third Prince, uncomfortable. I have a good idea here."
Just then, Qin Feng suddenly spoke coldly, his gaze fixed on Qin Xuan.
"What good idea?"
Hearing this, the Third Prince, who was very troubled, immediately asked the other party.
If there truly was a good idea, he would certainly adopt it.
"It's very simple. It's for me and this Qin Xuan to have a fight. If he loses, then let His Highness Yu Jingzi eat him. Wouldn't that work?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present immediately erupted in an uproar.
To say that, was it still about eating people?
Qin Feng looked at Qin Xuan coldly, a cruel smile on his lips.
He, of course, knew Yu Jingzi's true identity perfectly well. Therefore, to deal with Qin Xuan, he deliberately drew Yu Jingzi's attention to Qin Xuan.
"How outrageous!"
The Third Prince coldly flicked his sleeve, his face already becoming extremely grim.
Qin Xuan was the target he was focusing on winning over this time.
If he couldn't protect Qin Xuan, then who would trust him in the future, who would believe he could protect them?
In that case, how could he establish himself in the future?
Thinking of this, he flicked his sleeve and rose, looking coldly at the Second Prince.
This Second Prince had absolutely brought people here on purpose today.
"Your Highness, the Third Prince, you must be well aware of today's matter. Qin Xuan, a member of a branch family, dared to lay a deadly hand on a main family member. How can this be tolerated!"
Qin Feng stepped out, and an ice-blue long spear flew from his hand, pointing directly at Qin Xuan.
"This is beyond endurance."
"Today, only his death can wash away the great humiliation our Qin Family has suffered!"
Qin Feng looked at Qin Xuan coldly.
"Yu Jingzi is a distinguished guest from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. I believe the Third Prince also understands how precious his status is. Please, Your Highness, do not interfere in this matter!"
Qin Feng spoke as he walked towards Qin Xuan, flicking the long spear backward, its tip scraping across the ground and sending up countless sparks.
"You, you deserve to die, you actually want to force me..."
The Third Prince's face was flushed with anger. He really wanted to summon his Dao Protector to act.
But he understood that the Second Prince also had his own Dao Protector. In that case, not only would he fail to establish his authority, but he would also offend Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Although he was unsure of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain's true power, his Imperial Father and Supreme Emperor Grandfather had never offended Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
The other party must possess sufficiently powerful strength.
Thinking of this, the Third Prince was momentarily caught in a dilemma.
"Oh, so you really want to fight me?"
Just as the Third Prince was in a difficult position, Qin Xuan suddenly spoke calmly.
Hearing this, Qin Feng raised his head arrogantly, looking down at Qin Xuan with a condescending expression.
"Very well!"
Taking a sip of the fine wine, Qin Xuan put down the cup and slowly stood up.
"Qin Xuan..."
The Third Prince wanted to say something, but Qin Xuan smiled and cupped his hands.
"Your Highness, this matter began because of me, so let it end because of me."
"However, if this joyous banquet is stained with blood because of this, I ask for Your Highness's understanding."
