The congratulations from outside instantly surprised everyone in the room.
"Oh my god, he actually dared to come to the City Lord's Mansion, doesn't he know we are all here?" The Minotaur touched his horns and said harshly.
The other people all looked at the three people who came in with gloomy faces. Even Mu Lao, who was sitting at the head seat, looked at the newcomers. The red-dressed girl who was pouring wine for Mu Lao looked up at the newcomers with curiosity in her eyes.
The leaders of many small forces below also began to discuss the matter.
"These three people are the members of the Demonic Cult who flew up from the lower world!"
"I heard that this guy crippled Lord Longchang with just one move. I wonder how high his cultivation level must be..."
"He actually dared to come here, isn't he afraid of death?"
"Jingsheng, if he heard you, you would be courting death. It's obvious that this man is not a righteous person. You and I can't afford to offend him!"
Zhou Qiong and the other two hurried into the hall, bowed and said, "I am the leader of the Demon Cult, Zhou Qiong. I heard that you, Master Mu, are celebrating your birthday, so I came to congratulate you. I wonder if you welcome me!"
Mu Lao smiled and nodded, "Since you are here, you are a guest. Please take a seat!"
The minotaur on the side said jokingly, "There is no room up here. Master Zhou, please find a seat down below!"
The others also looked at Zhou Qiong and the other two with a joking look on their faces.
Zhou Qiong did not respond. He took the two of them and walked directly to Long Chang's original seat and sat down. Lian Shengxuanyi and the other two stood behind him.
After sitting down, he said in a deep voice, "This should be the seat of the one-eyed monster. From now on, it belongs to me. Do you have any objections?"
As he spoke, Zhou Qiong emanated a boundless aura and was surrounded by boundless demonic energy, as if an ancient demon god was sitting there. For a moment, no one dared to respond.
"Ahem..." Mu Lao, who was sitting in the upper seat, coughed lightly, and the pressure in the hall dissipated instantly. "Since Sect Leader Zhou wants to sit there, just sit down!"
Seeing that Mu Lao had spoken, the others stopped talking. On Zhou Qiong's left was Shangguan Yun, whom he had met last time, and on his right was the chief of the Red Fox Clan.
Shangguan Yun raised the wine in his glass to Zhou Qiong with a smile on his face. Zhou Qiong also picked up the glass, took a sip, and nodded with a smile.
The red-dressed girl who was pouring wine for Mu Lao stood up and said loudly, "Now that the guests are all here, let's start the ceremony!"
A member of the tribe came out from behind Lan Yukong and shouted, "The Lan Yu tribe sends a Xuanyang Golden Pill to wish Elder Mu a long life!"
The Red Fox tribe also shouted loudly, "The Red Fox tribe sends a piece of Wanzaikongqing, wishing Mu Lao eternal youth!"
The Tauren sent——
Jian Zong sent——
Dajiang Gang sent——
First, the seven major forces, and then some smaller forces began to offer gifts, each of which was a rare treasure, but the elder Mu, who was sitting on the throne, had a smile on his face from beginning to end. It seemed that nothing could attract his attention!
At this time, the ghost tribe leader who was full of ghostly aura laughed sinisterly and said, "Haha, Master Zhou, don't you even bring a gift to Mu Lao's birthday party? You are looking down on Mu Lao!"
When the others heard this, they all looked at Zhou Qiong. They were very happy to see someone step forward to embarrass Zhou Qiong.
Zhou Qiong ignored everyone and looked up at Mu Lao. The silver-black lightning between his eyebrows began to emit a faint light, and then the light disappeared.
Mu Lao looked at Zhou Qiong in surprise. When Zhou Qiong looked at him just now, he actually felt like he was seen through. You know, he has the cultivation level of Zhenwu Realm. It seems that this Demon Cult leader really has some tricks!
Zhou Qiong lowered his head and thought secretly. It turned out that the real body of this old man Mu was a fairy peach tree. It was radiant with light and also revealed a sense of confinement. It should be on the verge of a breakthrough, but was unable to break through due to the limitations of its real body!
"System, is there anything that can help the Fairy Peach Tree break through the limitations of its body?"
"Some hosts have immortal spirit essence, which is the most precious treasure of the plant family. One drop can help him break through the limitations of his body! One hundred thousand villains are worth one drop."
"System, how many villain points do I have left!"
"The host currently has 80,000 villain points left!"
"System, help me exchange for half a drop of immortal essence..."
"Okay, the half drop of immortal essence has been exchanged successfully, costing 50,000 villain value, and the remaining villain value is 30,000!"
A porcelain bottle suddenly appeared in Zhou Qiong's hand. He handed it to Xuan Yi and gave him a few instructions.
Xuanyi walked to the center of the hall with the porcelain bottle, facing Mu Lao, and shouted loudly, "The Demon Cult congratulates Mu Lao on his birthday and gives him half a drop of immortal essence. I wish Mu Lao great progress in his cultivation and reach the next level."
"What..." Mu Lao, who was always calm, stood up directly. With a wave of his hand, the porcelain bottle in Xuan Yi's hand instantly appeared in his hand. He slowly opened the porcelain bottle, and a fragrance instantly filled the hall. Others didn't mind.
But the plants in the field seemed to be under fatal temptation and looked at the porcelain bottle with desire.
Mu Lao closed the bottle cap, waved his hand to dispel the fragrance in the hall, carefully put away the porcelain bottle, turned around and arched his hands to Zhou Qiong, "Thank you for the gift, Master Zhou, it's thoughtful!"
Although everyone in the field had never heard of the name of the Immortal Essence, they could tell from Mu Lao's reaction that it was definitely not an ordinary thing. You know, after they presented the gifts, Mu Lao didn't even nod his head!
Lan Yukong looked at Zhou Qiong with a plundering look in his eyes. If it wasn't for Mu Lao's birthday, he would have rushed up to grab Zhou Qiong and plundered everything he had. But wanting to do something and being able to do it are not the same thing.
The red-dressed girl next to Mu Lao looked at Zhou Qiong deeply. She became more interested in this mysterious cult leader. Just now, Mu Lao opened the porcelain bottle.
She was the closest to it, and the fragrance emitted from it alone made her feel a breakthrough in her body. She really didn't know what kind of treasure this fairy marrow was.
The red-dressed girl stood up and said, "It's still the same old rules. Each major force sends two Tongxuan realm masters to participate in the competition, and finally eight people are selected to obtain the qualification to enter the Kongtong Secret Realm. Each of the eight major forces selects one person to directly advance to the finals."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Qiong again and added, "The original qualifications of the Single-Eyed Clan will be taken over by the Demon Cult. The competition officially begins! Set up the banquet!"
Countless maids suddenly came up from both sides, holding trays with all kinds of rare fruits on them, and placed them on the tables of the leaders of the major forces.
Two maids brought fruit plates and placed them on Zhou Qiong's table. One of them pointed to a fairy peach placed alone on a plate and said softly, "This is what Mu Lao specially prepared for Master Zhou."
Zhou Qiong looked at the fairy peach, which was shining brightly. It was obviously different from other fruits. He turned his head to look at Mu Lao, and then laughed, "This Mu Lao is really willing to give it up!"
