Qu Feng looked at the approaching figures and sneered, "Dark Temple members, I don't think my Star Temple invited you. Why have you come uninvited?"
Elder Dilin, the leader of the Dark Temple, took out a brocade box and smiled faintly.
"Everyone in the Zhongtian Star Region knows that the Star God Temple will be bestowing divine titles upon its sons and daughters today. My temple master is concerned about the development of your temple."
"Although we didn't receive an invitation, we've prepared a generous gift. Does our host intend to kick us four guests out today?"
Although Dilling's voice was dry and hoarse, it was not low, and the people in the crowd could hear it clearly.
To everyone's surprise, this dark temple not only arrived uninvited, but also uttered such barbed words.
Most importantly, they brought gifts. Although the Star Temple and the Dark Temple have been at odds since ancient times, with countless battles large and small, they can't stand each other.
But given the current situation, we still need to consider this carefully.
Qu Feng took a deep breath, met Di Lin's sinister gaze, and said in a low voice, "Guests are always welcome. Since the Dark Temple has this intention, then my Star Temple also welcomes your arrival."
"But you need to understand one thing: this is the territory of my Star Temple, and running wild is prohibited!"
The last sentence was spoken by Elder Qu Feng with a cold tone. Di Lin was not annoyed at all upon hearing it and handed the brocade box to Qu Feng.
He gestured for the latter to open it.
Qu Feng accepted the gift box. The gift box was relatively light and not too heavy. Just in case, Qu Feng activated the power of the stars in his body in advance to prevent any dangerous weapons from emerging from the box.
Once everything was ready, Elder Qu Feng waved his hand, and with a burst of energy, he opened the box, revealing its contents to everyone's view.
The audience members all stood up, and after seeing what was inside, they were all puzzled.
Inside the brocade box lay three jade pendants, unremarkable in appearance, devoid of any starlight or dark aura, just like ordinary jade stones.
Upon seeing the three jade pendants, Elder Qu Feng became so enraged that he unleashed his full power as a peak Golden Immortal.
His face was sinister, and his words were utterly rude.
"Dilin, what do you mean by giving this as a congratulatory gift? Are you trying to humiliate my Star Temple?"
The crowd in the square was puzzled to see Elder Qu Feng so agitated, as if he was about to teach those people from the Dark Temple a lesson.
Logically speaking, Elder Qu Feng is not the kind of person who is materialistic. He has never made such an expression or gesture when other forces send ordinary congratulatory gifts.
An old man, who had seen much of the world, exclaimed loudly after recognizing the jade pendant.
"Oh dear, this Dark Temple is so humiliating."
Some of the younger cultivators nearby immediately urged the old man to tell them what he knew about the three jade pendants.
Left with no other choice, the old man began to explain.
"Thousands of years ago, the Dark Temple and the Star Temple fought a large-scale war, in which both sides suffered heavy losses."
"Just then, the Dark Temple suddenly announced its surrender and prepared to negotiate with the Star Temple at a pre-arranged location. The Star Temple only had three brothers who were still at full strength."
"Moreover, these three brothers are all at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. In a few decades, they could reach the level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal."
"When the three brothers arrived at the negotiation location, the Dark Temple, in conjunction with other top-tier forces, launched a sneak attack on them, and the three brothers immediately broke through the encirclement."
"Just then, the Lord of the Star Temple suddenly appeared and asked the three brothers to come over to him. When the three brothers saw the Lord of the Star Temple, they went straight over without thinking."
"Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a Grand Elder of the Dark Temple in disguise, using a high-quality replica of human skin from the Harmony Temple. By the time the three brothers realized it was a trap, it was too late."
"Ahead are the Supreme Elders of the Dark Temple, and behind are countless pursuers from the Dark Temple."
"As you can imagine, the three brothers didn't even have a chance to self-destruct and died at the negotiation site."
"The Dark Temple looted three jade pendants from them. These jade pendants were connected to the Soul Jade Container. These beasts of the Dark Temple deliberately spread the word."
"The three brothers have agreed, but now more elders are needed to discuss the details, as the three of them cannot make the decision themselves."
"When the people from the Star Temple saw that the Soul Jade Container was safe and sound, they immediately sent people over, but after several groups of people went, there was still no movement."
"The temple master became alert and led the last remaining elders with strong combat power to the negotiation point, only to find that it was the Dark Temple guys using the jade pendant as bait to lure the people from the Star Temple to their deaths."
"The people from the Star Temple were furious and immediately engaged in a bloody battle with the people from the Dark Temple. In the end, the people from the Dark Temple fled in disarray, taking the three jade pendants with them."
"The head of the Star Temple wanted to give chase, but he was too badly injured, and the elders he brought were all weak and listless. Frustrated, he decided to give up for the time being and take the bodies of the three brothers and other elders of the Star Temple back for a proper burial."
"I never expected that the Dark Temple would dare to bring out this jade pendant, which represents the humiliation of the Star Temple, during the Star Temple's investiture ceremony. This is a slap in the face to the people of the Star Temple!"
The moment the old man finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
No one expected that these three small jade pendants would carry so many stories.
If you look at Elder Qu Feng's angry face again, you'll immediately understand the latter.
"People of the Dark Temple, you are not welcome in my Star Temple. Take these things and get out! If you stay any longer, don't blame me for killing you."
"Haha, Elder Qu Feng, why are you so anxious about three ordinary jade pendants?"
Dilin watched Qu Feng's momentum rise steadily, but his face remained calm and composed, as if the Grand Elder of the Star Temple opposite him was nothing more than that in his eyes!
Qu Feng looked at Di Lin's mocking gaze and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Very well, I should have known. The people of your Dark Temple couldn't possibly be here to offer congratulations. Well then, don't blame me today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Qu Feng pushed his power to the limit, and endless star power formed a purple longsword above his head.
The surface of the longsword shimmered and sparkled.
“You beasts of the Dark Temple, die!”
As Elder Qu Feng uttered these furious words, the longsword slammed heavily towards the four black-robed men from the Dark Temple.
