Chapter 803 - 12: My Lord... Your Humble Servant Greets You

This young man in green is named Liu Junyan, and he is a legitimate descendant of the Liu Family from the Ancient Noble Families.

This person is twenty-six years old, has cultivation in the Sixth Layer of Yin-Yang Realm, and in the East County Divine Land, he is considered a top-notch talent.

After all, compared to other regions, the East County Divine Land is relatively barren, and the cultivators’ level is much lower.

Lin Feng didn’t care about how Liu Junyan or those Stone City’s heavenly prides viewed him.

In Lin Feng’s eyes, these people were no different from passersby.

"Let’s go up." Shi Ningmeng said with a charming smile.

Many young men of Stone City were stunned.

When had they ever seen Shi Ningmeng treat a man with such gentle demeanor?

Anyone could see that there was a definitely unusual relationship between these two.

This made many people extremely envious.

Because many of the young masters present had pursued this number one beauty of Stone City.

Yet they were all rejected.

Seeing Shi Ningmeng treating Lin Feng so gently, how could they not be jealous?

Liu Junyan’s face was particularly grim, as his family had been discussing seeking marriage with the Alchemist Guild’s president Shi Yan.

So Liu Junyan had already considered Shi Ningmeng as his woman.

But now, the appearance of Lin Feng made him feel threatened.

"Let’s go up too."

Liu Junyan said with a gloomy face. He had a high reputation among the younger generation of Stone City, and these young ladies and lords followed his lead.

The Stone Tower had seven layers.

An altar was set up on the top layer, facing the Stone God.

Lin Feng and Shi Ningmeng reached the seventh layer.

Below, the plaza was packed with people.

Everyone was worshipping the Stone God, many praying for the blessings of the Stone God.

Lin Feng glanced toward the Stone God and saw the thousand-meter-high stone statue.

The stone statue was clad in armor, holding a massive stone axe, shrouded in a layer of divine light.

This made Lin Feng feel surprised; he vaguely felt that the statue seemed to possess life force.

"Lin Feng, let’s perform the worship too."

Shi Ningmeng said with a smile, having prepared offerings and was now taking them out.

Lin Feng nodded.

He helped Shi Ningmeng arrange the offerings and then lit the incense.

It was rumored that incense smoke could communicate with the divine.

Therefore, incense was an indispensable aspect of worship.

The legend of the Stone God’s blessings was mythical, and Lin Feng wanted to see if blessings would indeed come.

"Hold on..."

At this moment, a light yet cold voice was heard.

Liu Junyan stepped forward.

"What’s the matter?" Lin Feng looked at Liu Junyan coldly.

"According to Stone City’s regulations, there are four kinds of people who can worship at the Stone Tower: first, people from Stone City’s Seven Great Forces; second, members of the Spirit Array Master Guild; third, people from the Alchemist Guild; fourth, renowned unparalleled powerhouses—apparently Brother Lin does not belong to any of these groups, and thus has no qualification to worship here."

Liu Junyan looked at Lin Feng with a smirk yet no humor.

Shi Ningmeng’s pretty face turned unsightly, and she coldly said, "Young Master Lin is with the Alchemist Guild and naturally qualified to worship here."

Seeing Shi Ningmeng so partial to Lin Feng, Liu Junyan’s heart burned with jealousy, and he sneered as he said, "If you are with the Alchemist Guild, then show us the identity token of the Alchemist Guild."

"Yes, prove your identity."

"If you can’t prove your identity, it means you are impersonating, and you have no right to worship the Stone God here."

The cultivators following Liu Junyan started jeering.

Liu Junxian said with a forced smile, "I’m not trying to make things difficult for Brother Lin, but it’s the rules of Stone City—we must adhere to them."

Lin Feng said calmly, "I may have more qualifications to worship here than you."

Liu Junyan’s face slightly darkened; a young man from a non-influential family dared speak to him like this?

Was it because he was relying on Shi Ningmeng’s support?

He snatched the incense from Lin Feng’s hand.

Lin Feng unemotionally said, "What does Brother Liu think he is doing?"

"Didn’t I say you have no rights here? Why do you insist on staying?"

Liu Junyan coldly replied and knocked the incense to the ground, extinguishing it with a stomp.

"Pick it up and light it for me." Lin Feng said coldly.

"What’s this kid saying?"

"Did he just order Liu Junyan to pick up the incense and light it again? Is this kid out of his mind?"

"A young man from a non-influential family talking that way to Liu Junyan—does he have a death wish?"

Many aristocratic family members pointed and snickered at Lin Feng, seeing his words to Liu Junyan as self-destructive.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Someone shouted that Zhan Junhua, the president of the Spirit Array Master General Union, had arrived.

As soon as they heard that, everyone’s expressions shifted in shock.

Zhan Junhua was considered the number one figure in the entirety of Stone City.

As the one who presided over the Spirit Array Master General Union of the East County Divine Land, Zhan Junhua was a person everyone wanted to curry favor with.

Soon, a crowd surged forward.

Zhan Junhua came with City Lord Shi Hao to the platform on the seventh layer of the Stone Tower.

And leaders from the other Six Great Forces arrived as well.

"The Clan Leader of the Liuu Family in Stone City, Liuu Wuming."

"The Zhang Family Patriarch in Stone City, Zhang Chen."

"The Sect Master of Tyrant Martial Sect in Stone City, Sun Ba."

"The Patriarch of the Liu Family in Stone City, Liu Xian."

"The Sect Master of Panlong Sect in Stone City, Nalan Ya."

"The Sect Hierarch of Qingcheng Sect in Stone City, He Daoyuan."

...

Besides these seven leaders, many high-ranking officials from the Seven Great Forces of Stone City surrounded Zhan Junhua.

"Salute Lord Zhan!"

Shi Hao shouted in a deep voice.

Coming to their senses, everyone quickly bowed and saluted Zhan Junhua.

Zhan Junhua nodded with satisfaction.

"Lin Feng, hurry and salute!"

Seeing Lin Feng standing motionless, Shi Ningmeng was very anxious.

Offending the president of the Spirit Array Master Guild was equivalent to inviting disaster.

But Lin Feng seemed not to hear Shi Ningmeng’s words, remaining still.

Seeing this, Liu Junyan was trembling with excitement.

He was bursting with joy inside, "Kid, I haven’t even started to deal with you, and you’re already courting death; just wait for how Lord Zhan of the Spirit Array Master Guild will deal with you."

In Liu Junyan’s eyes, offending the president of the Spirit Array Master Guild meant Lin Feng was doomed.

And the clan leaders and sect masters of the Seven Great Forces saw Lin Feng daring not to greet Zhan Junhua, and their faces grew grim.

Zhan Junhua’s face was also very stern. His cold gaze swept over Lin Feng, wanting to see who dared to be so disrespectful.

Later he would make sure to deal with him properly.

But when Zhan Junhua saw Lin Feng’s face, he shivered all over.

He rubbed his eyes, fearing he had seen it wrong.

But after looking again.

He found he wasn’t mistaken.

Zhan Junhua hurried over; the ’big figure’ who was once so high and mightily pointing fingers in front of all in Stone City.

Now, he nodded humbly, bowing ninety degrees, looking at Lin Feng with a flattering expression, "My lord... this small one pays his respects to you."

Silence.

The entire seventh layer of the Stone Tower, with hundreds of cultivators gathered.

But now it was silent enough to hear a needle drop.
