The Fourth Prince sat opposite Uriyangkhad and noticed the change in Uriyangkhad's mood, but he was in a very good mood.
"Come, gentlemen, let me offer you a toast!"
"Dry!"
The Fourth Prince stood up, holding a cup of wine, and slowly addressed everyone at the banquet.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The cultivators at the grand feast rose to return the greeting and drank the spirit wine in their cups in one gulp.
Seeing the scene and the eager looks people were giving the Fourth Prince, Uliangha felt a surge of displeasure. He knew the Fourth Prince was trying to win people's hearts, but he was powerless to change anything.
The thought that the Fourth Prince would become powerful in Zichuan City, while he could only watch helplessly, filled him with resentment.
"Uriyangha!"
After everyone had sat down again, the Fourth Prince suddenly looked at Uriyangkha and slowly spoke.
Unfortunately, Uriyangkhad was lost in his own thoughts and did not respond at all to the Fourth Prince's soft greeting.
"Uriyangha!"
Upon seeing this, the Fourth Prince slowly raised his voice.
However, Uriyangkhad still did not respond.
"Commander!"
Seeing that Uriyangkhad was not responding to the Fourth Prince, Zuo Tang, who was sitting next to Uriyangkhad, became a little anxious and raised his hand to give Uriyangkhad a slap.
"presumptuous!"
Wuliangha was suddenly jolted back to his senses by Zuo Tang's slap. However, upon snapping out of his daze, he actually struck out at Zuo Tang with a palm.
This palm strike was an instinctive attack from a Nascent Soul peak cultivator, and its power was extraordinary.
Although Zuo Tang is the deputy general of the cultivator garrison of Zichuan City, he himself is also at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. It's just that his background is not as good as Wuliangha's, which is why he can only be a deputy general.
Faced with Wuliangha's instinctive attack, Zuo Tang reacted quickly and used his spiritual power to seal Wuliangha's palm strike.
The power of a battle between Nascent Soul stage cultivators is quite extraordinary.
As the two clashed, terrifying shockwaves of spiritual energy spread out, destroying several tables in the vicinity and sending a group of cultivators with insufficient cultivation levels flying.
"Uriyangha!"
Are you looking for death?
The Fourth Prince immediately stood up and roared.
Uliangha had exchanged blows with Zuo Tang and had already regained his senses. Hearing the Fourth Prince's roar now filled him with inexplicable fear. What was wrong with him?
"Your Highness, please calm your anger!"
Uliangha snapped out of his daze and quickly apologized to the Fourth Prince.
"How can you expect me to calm my anger?"
The Fourth Prince glared angrily at the Uriyangkhai. Knowing that he had no chance of getting the Uriyangkhai to side with him, the Fourth Prince had been thinking about how to win over the Uriyangkhai. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, how could he give it up?
Outside the Prince's Mansion, Dai Duo did a very good job.
Making an example of someone to scare others is the effect the Fourth Prince wanted. As for those spirit food hunters, they are certainly a formidable fighting force, but these unruly individuals need to be taught a lesson first.
Now, within the Prince's residence, how could the Fourth Prince, as a prince, possibly be inferior to even his own subordinates?
"I invited you to this banquet out of kindness, and this is how you repay me?"
"Or do you think I'm easy to bully in your eyes, Uriyangkha?"
The Fourth Prince would certainly not let go of such a good opportunity to take down the Uriyangkhai.
"Your Highness, I was just thinking about something and lost in thought. When Deputy General Zuo Tang made his move, I only acted instinctively. I did not intend to offend Your Highness. Please forgive me!"
Wuliangha felt utterly utterly pissed off. He had genuinely been momentarily distracted, and when Zuo Tang slapped him, he instinctively retaliated, completely forgetting that he was at the Spirit Feast.
This kind of instinctive response is something that most practitioners possess.
Uriyangkha felt that he had explained enough, and if the Fourth Prince insisted on not giving up, then he would not continue to swallow his anger.
The Fourth Prince stared coldly at the Uriyangkhad, chuckled, and said, "Uriyangkhad, do you think I'm a fool? This is a grand feast!"
"Although I have not been cultivating for long, I know that no cultivator has ever had the mind to think about anything else when faced with spiritual food, let alone be so distracted as to be lost in thought."
Spiritual food is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.
Even the emperor could not have a meal of divine food every day.
"If I remember correctly, you, Uliangha, once ate a divine meal, which led to your current achievements and status. Now, you tell me you were distracted? Do you even believe yourself?"
Do I believe it myself?
Uriyangkhad was speechless.
The idea of being distracted while eating spiritual food is something that Uriyangkhad would never believe unless he had experienced it firsthand.
But he really was daydreaming!
"Uriyangkha, I want to know, where have I offended you?"
"Are you going to ruin the grand feast that I, the king, have so kindly prepared?"
The Fourth Prince simply shoved an enormous hat onto Uriyangkhapa's head.
"This servant wouldn't dare! This servant never thought of such a thing!"
Uriyangkhad was getting anxious; he really couldn't bear this crime!
"Your Highness, this servant is about to break through to a higher level, I must take my leave now!"
Just then, Zuo Tang stood up, bowed to the Fourth Prince, and flew away.
The moment Zuo Tang left, everyone felt his aura surge.
Nascent Soul Realm, advancing to Deity Transformation!
Once Zuo Tang advances to the Nascent Soul stage, according to the Qing Dynasty's custom, he will be granted a noble title and a fief.
"Su Peisheng, take some men to protect General Zuo Tang!"
The Fourth Prince originally intended to take this opportunity to capture Uriyangkhad directly. However, with Zuo Tang's advancement in rank now emerging, he has no choice but to let Uriyangkhad go for the time being.
However, after what just happened, he and Uriyangkha had completely broken off relations.
"Your Highness, this servant will take his leave now. Deputy General Zuo Tang's promotion is a matter that cannot be overlooked!"
Uriyangkhad was a shrewd man, and immediately took his leave.
Then, before the Fourth Prince could speak, he had already gathered the eight Nascent Soul Captains of Zichuan City in his capacity as commander to protect Zuo Tang.
Although Uliangha was consumed by jealousy, he understood that he had inadvertently incurred a tremendous favor from Zuo Tang. If the Fourth Prince were to attack him at this time, he would be utterly powerless to retaliate.
"Let's go together!"
The Fourth Prince suppressed his displeasure and led his men outside.
Nascent Soul cultivator advances to Deity Transformation!
If Zuo Tang successfully advances, the situation in Zichuan City will change again. Fortunately, Zuo Tang's advancement is aided by spiritual food, and a karmic connection has been established between Zuo Tang and the Fourth Prince.
"Your Highness!"
When the group arrived outside Zichuan City, Dai Duo quickly arrived as well. Half of the troublemaking Spirit Hunters in the city had been killed, and the rest had all submitted.
