Chapter 167 - A feast of wolves

Suddenly, one of the younger men among the group noticed Xia Xuan's gaze and turned to look at Xia Xuan. When he saw that Xia Xuan, who was only at Sixth grade Profound King, had noticed her presence, he smiled.

The man nodded towards Xia Xuan, his lips moved, as though he had said something.

Seeing the man's lips move, Xia Xuan's lips move as well, as if responding to his words.

Receiving Xia Xuan's reply, the man could not help but smile, and the way he looked at Xia Xuan became interested.

"Xiao Yu, what's wrong?" A girl around the same age as the man asked curiously after noticing his gaze.

The woman instantly saw Xia Xuan, but when she sensed his strength, the brow couldn't help but freeze. How could a Sixth grade Profound King attract his attention?

"Sis, this person is very interesting." The man gave her a look and said mysteriously.

"What can a Sixth grade Profound King do?" The woman disapproved, and her voice was filled with disdain.

"What's wrong with Sixth grade Profound King? I heard that not long ago, a Mystical King also defeated Wu Chang at dried bone forest. The man retorted.

The woman did not speak anymore, and with her Mystical King's strength, she appeared at the Taotie feast. Furthermore, a Mystical King that Wu Chang defeated recently appeared, so the man in front of her might be Xia Xuan.

"Everyone, thank you for coming. All sorts of experts have gathered today. Our Northern Imperial Clan truly brings light to our humble dwelling!" Han Shuanglong cupped his hands towards everyone and said with a smile on his face.

The more people came to attend the banquet, the more they said that their Northern Imperial Clan received more respect. The densely packed heads in the hall already proved everything.

"Sect Leader Han, there's no need to speak any unnecessary words. Let's begin the grand feast." Everyone's gaze turned towards a chair not far from Han Shuanglong. Seated on that chair was a white-haired Old Man.

Normally, if he were to disturb his master at a time like this, Han Shuanglong would be extremely angry, and the person who disturbed him would be reprimanded. However, when they saw Old Man, not only did they not take joy in his misfortune, they were even surprised.

"Snake Staff Old Man!" A person in the crowd who had not yet recovered his strength shouted. There were only a few supreme sects in the Wasteland. The Sect Leader s of these sects were all figures that could not be seen even if a dragon appeared before their eyes. Thus, the elders of these sects became the representatives of this sect.

The old man was from a super sect called the Xingyun Sect. Currently, the old man was a sixth stage expert at the peak of Xuanzun, how could a mere one stage sect compare to him? It could be said that it was already giving enough face to the Northern Emperor's Hall to have such an expert participate in the Taotie feast.

"Senior snake staff is right, the feast of the Taotie will begin now." Han Shuanglong naturally did not dare to slight the old man with the snake staff.

Just as Han Shuanglong finished speaking, a servant walked over with a plate in hand. The plate was covered with a red cloth, and something could be seen under the red cloth.

The things under the red cloth were the food for this Taotie feast. It could be said that people came to the feast to deepen the relationship between the sects, and on the other hand, they came for the food.

Under the gazes of everyone present, Han Shuanglong slowly removed the red cloth and revealed a purple gold bell in front of them. The bell released a special kind of fluctuation;

As they looked at that bell, greed was revealed in their eyes. Perhaps the things stored in the bell were not much to the Northern Imperial Clan, but to a single person, they were incomparably precious.

"Please take your seats." Han Shuanglong did not pick up the purple gold bell immediately, but said to the people who were lusting over the Saliva.

There were many seats in the hall, and practically everyone who was invited would have their own seats. Xia Xuan quickly found his own seat and sat in his own seat without saying a word.

Seeing that everyone was sitting upright, Han Shuanglong finally turned his gaze towards the purple gold bell. He saw the thud of the purple gold bell as it rang out with a light shake.

As the voice was emitted, a dense wave that was visible to the naked eye was emitted from the bell.

This was the food of this Taotie feast — Life. Using some special method, one could extract the life force of a person, but the person whose life was being proposed would also die. Extracting life was something that could not be exposed, and if one wanted to accumulate enough food for the Taotie feast, it was unknown how many evil things the North Emperor's Gate had done behind the scenes.

Of course, Xia Xuan would not refuse to absorb these living things just because they were dirty. In this place called Hundred Desolations, kindness would only be mocked and trampled upon by others.

Xia Xuan activated his meridian, and the life force that filled the entire palace immediately surged towards Xia Xuan, but the life force was clearly faster than the others.

No matter if it was absorbing spiritual energy or absorbing life, their speed would depend on the number of meridian opening up one's body. And the opening up of meridian relied on a person's cultivation technique, Xia Xuan's cultivation technique was Primal Chaos.

The cultivation techniques were divided into two ranks, the God Realm and the Human Realm. Each of them were of a low, medium and high rank, and even the super sects only had mid-grade Mortal Realm cultivation techniques. This cultivation technique could only open up to a hundred and fifty meridian, and the speed at which the spiritual energy was absorbed could only be considered average.

The reason why Xia Xuan had initially said that the Primal Chaos was powerful was because after he had successfully cultivated, the Primal Chaos had helped him to open up to five hundred meridian. One must know that the more meridian he opened, the harder it was to open.

Xia Xuan, who had cleared five hundred meridian, was truly like a Taotie fierce beast in this place, as an unending stream of life rushed towards him, causing some people in the great hall to be unable to absorb life.

There were already people in the arena who were unable to absorb their life force as Xia Xuan's life force was too strong. Helplessly, Han Shuanglong could only ring the bell, and then, an endless stream of life force flooded the entire hall.

"Sis, I already said that this person isn't simple, right?" Previously, the man who was opposite of Xia Xuan had been staring at Xia Xuan, he did not care about these lives, if he really wanted to increase his life span, just one word from him, the sect would naturally give him a large amount of life.

"Try your best to befriend this person. You must not offend him." The lady at the side also stared at Xia Xuan closely. Naturally, she could tell that Xia Xuan had as many as five hundred meridian, which meant that Xia Xuan cultivated a divine rank cultivation technique, so it was impossible for him to rely on chance to obtain it. She thought that there was a very powerful person standing behind Xia Xuan, and that person could be — God!
