"If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me," Gu Yifeng said calmly. Then he rose into the air and floated to the side, standing there quietly like a passerby.
"How arrogant!" A murmur of astonishment rippled through the crowd, and they couldn't help but glance at Gu Yifeng a few more times. Although his cultivation level was slightly inferior, his demeanor far surpassed that of the others.
Yuan Ba stared at Gu Yifeng, a hint of excitement in his eyes. This guy was quite something, not afraid of him at all.
He then flashed to the outside of the restaurant, immediately attracting countless envious and admiring glances.
Ape Overlord was a burly and robust man with bulging muscles that exuded explosive power. In particular, the prominent, dragon-like muscles on his body seemed to contain extremely powerful strength, and his mere presence gave people a sense of suffocation.
He took a step forward, and with a loud thud, the entire restaurant shook as his foot landed, causing many people to turn pale with fright and quickly retreat.
Gu Yifeng's pupils contracted slightly; this Yuan Ba was indeed very powerful.
"Roar!" Yuan Ba roared to the sky, venting his inner resentment. Then he turned his gaze to Gu Yifeng, grinned maliciously, and said, "Let's continue the fight."
"I refuse," Gu Yifeng said slowly, his tone indifferent, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
"Why?" Yuan Ba frowned, looking at Gu Yifeng with some confusion. Was this guy stupid?
"I can't muster the desire to defeat you," Gu Yifeng said casually, as if he were stating something as simple as it was. He had never experienced many battles, so his understanding of war was much worse than that of the average person. His impression of Yuan Ba was that he was too fierce and didn't know how to cherish women, so he couldn't muster any fighting spirit.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ba froze, then a look of anger crossed his face. He cursed, "Are you even a man? You don't even dare to fight me. What kind of hero are you?"
"I don't need to be called a hero." Gu Yifeng looked calmly at Yuan Ba and said, "Since you are unwilling to fight me, then I will take my leave."
After saying that, he took to the air and left.
"Wait a minute." Just then, Yuan Ba suddenly called out to Gu Yifeng.
Gu Yifeng paused for a moment, then slowly turned around, seemingly having guessed Yuan Ba's intentions.
Sure enough, Yuan Ba pointed in the direction of the restaurant and said, "That guy just said that I am not worthy to be a member of the Yuan Clan. I disagree, so I am going to the Yuan Clan to report this matter and hope to get the support of the elders."
"Go ahead," Gu Yifeng said, waving his hand without stopping him.
Yuan Ba nodded, then took a step towards the door. However, just as he was leaving, a chilling voice entered his ears: "I hope this matter doesn't implicate anyone else, otherwise..."
As the voice entered his mind, Yuan Ba's expression froze. Where did this voice come from?
He looked around and, finding no one paying attention to him, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, a deep meaning appeared in his eyes. This guy was probably warning him, but why did he think he would agree?
Having figured all this out, Yuan Ba revealed a hint of pride on his face. He was the most talented among the demon race, and was being groomed by the Yuan clan to be the next clan leader. How could he be willing to be coerced like this?
He took a step forward and headed straight for the place where the Ape Clan was.
Inside the restaurant, Gu Yifeng looked towards the second floor and saw a graceful woman in a purple dress leaning against the railing. She was tall and well-proportioned, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on the direction where Yuan Ba had left, with a complex expression in her eyes.
"Master," Xiao Mu called out.
The woman in purple robes abruptly withdrew her gaze, looked at Xiao Mu beside her, and asked softly, "Do you think he's deliberately causing trouble?"
“Yes, I invited him to this banquet, but he suffered this humiliation. I must take full responsibility,” Xiao Mu said after a moment of silence.
"What do you think of his strength?" the woman in purple robes asked again.
Xiao Mu thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know, but I think I'm no weaker than him."
"Hmm." The woman in purple robes nodded, then gazed into the distance and murmured, "This era has changed. They've all become stronger. You and I can't afford to slack off!"
"Master, what do you mean..." Xiao Mu's eyes trembled suddenly. Could it be that Master was planning to break through to the Emperor Realm?
The woman in purple smiled sweetly, then turned to look at Xiao Mu and said, "Your talent is comparable to others."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu trembled, his heart pounding faster and faster. He had been studying under his master since childhood and had cultivated for over eight hundred years, but he was still stuck at the peak of the fifth level of the Yuanhuang realm and could not break through to the Emperor realm. What did it mean that his master wanted him to break through to the Emperor realm?
"Master..." Xiao Mu's voice choked, and his eyes welled up with tears. He never expected that his master would be willing to help him. He was overwhelmed with excitement. It turned out that his master had already seen his talent.
"You are my disciple, and I naturally cannot bear to see you buried in obscurity." The woman in purple robes stroked Xiao Mu's cheek, her eyes revealing a hint of doting affection. He was her only family member, and how could she not cherish him?
"Disciple will remember Master's teachings!" Xiao Mu nodded solemnly, then his figure transformed into a ray of sword light and shot into the void, speeding away into the distance.
Seeing Xiao Mu leave, Yuan Ba smiled broadly and then turned to leave.
"Brother Yuanba." The girl beside him suddenly called out. Yuanba turned his head, his gaze falling on the girl's delicate and fair face, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The girl looked in the direction where Gu Yifeng had disappeared, gritted her teeth, and whispered, "Does he really not want to fight you?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ba was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and looked at the girl with a hint of relief. This girl actually spoke up for someone else.
"Don't worry, I certainly won't let him escape. I will personally kill him to wash away the humiliation I suffered today!" Yuan Ba said coldly. As a core member of the Nine Yang Divine Sect, if he were to be defeated by someone at the eighth level of the Yuan King realm today, wouldn't that be a laughing stock?
More importantly, he was extremely dissatisfied. He couldn't believe that a mere youth at the eighth level of the Yuan King realm could withstand his attack.
"Mm." The girl nodded gently, the weight lifted from her heart.
In another direction, the Sanqing Immortal Palace, Xing Ling'er and others gathered together, all looking at the figure standing with his hands behind his back, their eyes filled with a hint of awe.
They all knew very well that the reason why Yuan Ba was unwilling to fight Gu Yifeng was because he himself was not confident in defeating Gu Yifeng.
This means that Gu Yifeng is much stronger than him.
"Are you really determined to gamble your life with him?" Xing Ling'er asked Gu Yifeng, her tone quite solemn. Although Gu Yifeng was very strong, he was probably no match for Yuan Ba.
