Fu Bo Dragon King was not qualified to build the Dragon Palace, and the Dragon King Banquet was not held in the pond, but on the mountainside near the pond.

A large number of demons had already leveled the mountains and built huge platforms around Fubo Lake.

It was almost noon, and a large number of guests were already seated at Fubo Lake.

On a platform at the front, Liu Yao brought a group of human practitioners to the platform.

Even though they were well prepared, many human practitioners still couldn't help feeling a sense of panic when they saw the guests before them.

On the platforms that had already taken their seats, there were colorful leopard demons in suits and leather shoes, pig demons covered in mud as thick as armor, and tree spirits in coarse clothes with old faces.

Most of these monsters are in the stage of refining essence, and only a very small number can reach the stage of transforming qi.

The Qi-transforming demon clan is often surrounded by many little demons, and in this era when the spiritual energy tide has just returned, they are able to occupy the mountains and rule a region.

These Qi-transformed demons chatted with each other, and their gestures and words seemed to be imitating humans intentionally or unintentionally.

There were also demons holding bloody flesh and biting them with their mouths wide open, their eyes constantly looking towards the human practitioners, as if they were biting their flesh and blood, which made the human practitioners feel horrified.

"We have Master Ge's protection, and my Liu family has a close relationship with Lord Fubo Long, so we don't have to worry about being threatened by these monsters."

Liu Yao, who was sitting at the first seat, comforted the group of practitioners with a smile on his face.

Hearing Liu Yao's words, many practitioners felt relieved and subconsciously looked at Master Ge, who was holding a jewel and looking solemn, standing beside Liu Yao.

"This time it's all thanks to Master Liu."

"These demons really have no scruples."

“No one expected that this so-called Dragon King Banquet would actually be a feast full of demons dancing wildly.”

"If it weren't for Master Liu, we would have been killed by the monster long ago."

Amidst the rainbow farts, someone suddenly spoke up:

"What happened to He Yao?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet, and then a practitioner immediately said indignantly:

"Why mention this guy? It's really unlucky!"

"Mr. Liu took the initiative to invite you, but you didn't know how to refuse."

"It's a pity that Master Liu is too kind and took the initiative to arrange for his servants to protect He Yao. That guy is likely to be able to save his life."

"This kind of person is really not worth it!"

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Liu Yao's smile grew brighter.

He Yao is the only lucky one among the geniuses selected by the Liu family who saw through the trap of the spirit beast contract.

For the Liu family, He Yao is definitely an unstable factor. If killing a genius of this level would not attract the attention of the Imperial Observatory, the Liu family would have taken action against He Yao long ago.

Before, when they were at the foot of the mountain, Liu Yao seemed to have taken the initiative to invite He Yao, but in fact he had already grasped He Yao's character and tempted He Yao to get angry and reject his kindness.

Once this factor is in place, He Yao's death has nothing to do with their Liu family. It was all the work of Fu Bo Long Jun's men.

Although the Imperial Observatory was overbearing, it had no control over Fu Bo Long Jun.

What's more, Fubo Longjun will soon take a step further.

Liu Yao was naturally very happy that he had gotten rid of a small trouble for the Liu family.

But on the surface, Liu Yao still refuted the people who denounced He Yao:

"As human beings, it is only natural for us to help each other when we are out in the field. How can we abandon our own people for a momentary selfish desire?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the practitioners who had denounced him lowered their heads in shame.

"We are still fighting for our own selfish interests, but Master Liu has already laid out his sights on the entire human race."

"I am not as good as Master Liu." "Master Liu is right, I am obsessed with appearances."

The curve of Liu Yao's mouth became more obvious, and he said in an excited tone:

"He Yao is a human being. Even if he has done many wrong things, as long as he is here, I have the obligation to protect him."

The polite words got stuck in his throat halfway through, and Liu Yao looked into the distance with a look as if he had seen a ghost.

At the entrance of the banquet, Shen Yuan and He Yao were seen walking slowly towards the platform.

He Yao seemed to fall behind unintentionally. Shen Yuan, who was walking in front, was wearing an elegant white robe and an ancient bronze sword on his waist. He had an extraordinary temperament.

"How did they get up here?"

"They must have used Young Master Liu's face to get the monsters down the mountain to let them up."

"Master Liu is worthy of being the guest of honor of Lord Fubolong!"

"What a pity, two people came to disrupt the banquet."

"Shut up! Didn't you just hear Master Liu say that he was taking into account the interests of the entire human race?

If you refute again, wouldn't you be trying to trap Master Liu?"

Because of Liu Yao's righteous words before, not many people criticized He Yao and Shen Yuan. Instead, they showed admiration for Liu Yao.

In their view, this is a reflection of the Liu family's influence.

Liu Yao forced himself to put on an ugly smile, then glanced coldly at the servant who had gone to inform the wolf demon before, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

Not far away, Shen Yuan and He Yao had arrived in front of several platforms.

At this time, He Yao's admiration for Shen Yuan had reached its peak.

Whether it was the fact that he saw through the Liu family's conspiracy at a glance, or the fact that he killed dozens of little spirit-refining demons and a wolf demon in the Qi-transforming state with one sword at the foot of the mountain, He Yao felt how unfathomable Shen Yuan was.

When he thought about his attempt to save Shen Yuan, his face suddenly became hot.

Shen Yuan walked between the platforms, but his eyes fell on Fubo Lake.

In fact, as soon as he arrived here, Shen Yuan could feel the concentration of spiritual energy in the air increasing rapidly, even higher than that of Yunmeng Village.

The source of this spiritual energy obviously comes from the natural spiritual pool in Fubo Lake.

"Just by stepping into the range of the Tiansheng Spirit Pond, one can feel such rich spiritual energy. It is truly worthy of being the treasure of the Dragon King of the Water Tribe."

Shen Yuan sighed in his heart.

The platforms built around Fubo Lake were arranged in an orderly manner. The closer Shen Yuan walked towards the platform in front, the more he could feel the increasing concentration of spiritual energy around him.

At this moment, the essence in his body had entered an extremely active state, and it only took a thought to refine the essence into qi and derive magic power.

However, Shen Yuan’s purpose is certainly not just to refine essence into qi, completing the last link of novice guidance is the top priority.

Now we have entered the range of the Natural Spirit Pool. We just need to find an opportunity to designate the Natural Spirit Pool as the sect's spirit pool, and then complete the refining of essence into qi, and we can completely get rid of the trouble of this novice guidance.

At this moment, the system interface suddenly flashed in front of Shen Yuan.

In the column for novice guidance tasks, there was a string of prompts that Shen Yuan had never seen before.

System: The host has entered the range of the natural spirit pool, which is still ownerless. Should we use the authority of Luoyun Sect Leader to forcibly plunder it and use it as the sect's spirit pool?
