“It’s you?!” Hu Bawan recognized Chen Xiaobei immediately. “Of all the gin joints in the world, you chose to come to the lion’s den! Are you tired of living?”
“You know very well why I’ve come!” Chen Xiaobei’s eyes darkened.
“I do! Of course, I do!” Hu Bawan smiled. “Your woman, Lin Xiang killed Lin Chaoyin! So, the people of Tidal Faction killed Lin Xiang! So, you’ve come here to kill me, right?”
“Only the last sentence is right. The two before that are wrong.” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
“The two sentences before that are wrong? Lin Chaoying and Lin Xiang are not dead?” Hu Bawan frowned.
Master Er, dressed in a black robe said, “That’s impossible! As long as the Mind Botching Pot’s Special Ability is in effect, the two women will surely die!”
Master Er was the one who had cooked up the scheme and the one who had lent Hu Bawan the Spiritual Item Mind Botching Pot.
If Lin Chaoyin and Lin Xiang were still alive, it meant that Master Er’s plan had failed and the Mind Botching Pot’s Special Ability was no longer in effect. Master Er would never believe that.
“That’s right! Master Er is right! The both of them are dead for sure!” Hu Bawan was a little shaken earlier but hearing what Master Er had to say reaffirmed him.
Based on this observation, Master Er’s status must have been pretty high. The words that came out from his mouth did carry some weight.
“Whether you believe it or not is up to you. But today, I will cut off your head!” Chen Xiaobei said in a fierce calmness.
“Oh, hahaha!” Every person in the hall laughed.
Even the poker-face Master Er smiled.
“Hey kid! Did losing your woman mess with your brain? You want to kill our faction leader? That’s a pipe dream, my friend!”
“Do you know that our faction leader is a powerful Celestial Cultivation fighter?! His combat power is 70,000! Could you even reach one tenth of that? Hahaha!”
“This guy is a joke! He did not even do his research before he came here to die!”
All the core members of the Wrath Wave Faction scoffed.
From their point of view, Chen Xiaobei was a pea-brained moron like the tortoise who tried to fly!
Outside the banquet hall, Elder Jiu’s two bodyguards chatted between themselves.
“Why do I feel like this guy’s just exaggerating? How could he possibly fight a Celestial cultivation elite?”
“I think so too! My guess is that he’s going to drop our Elder Jiu’s name at the right time! That’s the only way he can leave with his head intact!”
“Shut up!” Elder Jiu rebuked. “I happen to believe Mr. Chen. Does that mean that the both of you question my judgement?”
“We won’t dare.”
Both bodyguards swallowed, too afraid to continue discussing about Chen Xiaobei.
Back inside the banquet hall, Hu Bawan was losing his patience. “Elder Ba, kill this idiot! Don’t allow him to spoil Master Er’s mood!”
A bald man stood up, stretching his leg until he stood towering at two meters tall. He was muscular, full of vigour and ready to grapple.
“Get it done quick and clean! I don’t want blood everywhere! It’ll ruin my appet.i.te!” Master Er instructed.
“Don’t worry, I will kill that kid in one move! There will be no blood at all!” Elder Ba was very confident as he approached Chen Xiaobei.
“Come come! Let’s continue to drink! Don’t let this fly ruin your mood!” Hu Bawan said, raising his cup.
“I don’t want to drink anymore!” Master Er said. “Have you forgotten our little agreement? I help you kill Lin Chaoyin and you tell me where the G.o.ddess is! If you fail to tell me clearly, I will teach you a lesson!”
“Of course not!” Hu Bawan smiled. “That G.o.ddess is on Penglai Island! I heard that her relations.h.i.+p with the core disciples of Penglai Faction is pretty good. She’s been staying there all this while and is accepting challenges from young men of ancient factions!”
“How is it that I am unaware of such big news?” Master Er asked.
“Do you even have to ask? Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. The core disciples have fallen in love. He wants to keep the G.o.ddess, so he m.u.f.fled the news!” Hu Bawan cracked a sinister smile and said, “The lesser the number of men who see her, the lesser love rivals he would have, right?”
“No wonder!” Master Er’s face sank. “I once saw that G.o.ddess on Nine Forest Island! I only caught a fleeting glimpse at her beauty but she was like an angel! I can’t believe Penglai Ying Shaohua kept her for himself! I’m going to Penglai Faction tomorrow!”
“Haha! Master Er really is quite the romantic! I wish you success! May the beautiful woman fall into your arms! Huh…” Hu Bawan stopped midsentence.
All the other people in the hall too, were dumbfounded, staring at the scene before them like they had just seen a ghost.
Smack!
Chen Xiaobei had hit the Elder Ba across the face, and sent him flying.
His two meter long body bent like a bow and glided through the air from the door to the center of the dining table.
Thump!
The table gave in with a loud thud and the tableware smashed into a million pieces, sending food and liquor flying all over the place while drenching the diners.
“Sweet mother of G.o.d.”
“Elder Ba is a 40,000 combat power elite! How is it that he was defeated with a slap?”
“G.o.d, it’s painful to even look at his face. It’s all twisted in a weird angle. How in the world did that kid manage that? How strong is he anyway?”
“I’m not sure. We were all too busy listening to the faction leader talking to notice what was happening.”
No one could believe what they had just seen.
“Faction Leader Hu! I won’t be drinking anymore. Take care of this yourself. I’m going to go get ready for my trip to Penglai Faction!” Master Er looked unhinged, wearing an irritated expression on his face as he gathered his robe and began to leave.
Chen Xiaobei’s gaze turned to Master Er. “I did not say you can leave!”
“What?!” Master Er turned around, surprised. “Don’t you know who I am? Here on these waters, I don’t need anyone’s permission to do anything!”
“You little s.h.i.+thead! How dare you treat Master Er in such rude manner?!”
When Hu Bawan saw his honoured guest being inhibited from leaving, he came running and barking like a loyal dog protecting its owner.
But Chen Xiaobei chose to ignore the imposing Hu Bawan, keeping his gaze on Master Er. “I don’t care who you are. Don’t even think of stepping out of these doors without my permission!”
“Hmph!” Master Er scoffed. “Come find me after you’ve endured 10 strikes from Hu Bawan!”
“10?” Chen Xiaobei raised his chin. “One move is more than enough!”
