At this moment, Ling Chen's sudden appearance attracted the attention of every single person in the main hall.
The feast in the main hall was only reserved for the most powerful existences and families within the Sun Demi-God Domain, as such, each one of these guests presents wasn't some nameless character.
With so many powerful guests coming to the Long Family Estate, there were different levels of reception and areas for them to stay.
For example, esteemed guests such as the people from Sun God Palace and the Nine Ancient Families would be in the Main Hall while enjoying the highest level of treatment.
However, at this moment, the eyes of these big shots were fixated on Ling Chen. The scene went completely silent as everyone was looking at him.
At this place, no one was stupid, especially the patriarchs of the ancient families and the other powerful existences. Which one of them wasn't a sly fox?
The moment they saw Ling Chen appeared in the Main Hall, they knew that he wasn't a simple character. At the same time, they were all silently probing Ling Chen's strength with their spiritual sense.
However, they all came with nothing. They couldn't feel an ounce of True Qi energy in his body. After checking a few more times, they all stopped because they understood that the stronger a person was, the easier it was to conceal his True Qi energy vibrations.
Even those old bastards were peeping on him, Ling Chen didn't get mad or retaliate. He looked as calm and composed as usual.
He had an amiable smile on his face which would fool anyone into thinking that he was an accomplished monk as well as a gentle and peaceful old man instead of the incarnation of the devil himself.
"Venerable Monk, I don't know whether or not you are allowed to drink alcohol or eat meat." Long Yi suddenly asked with an embarrassed expression on his face.
Long Yi had suddenly realized that Ling Chen wasn't like the other guests and was in fact a Monk.
He already knew that he was a monk, but he seemed to have forgotten that there were some rules that forbid monks to drink alcohol and eat certain types of meat.
The whole party was about drinking and having fun. If the Venerable Monk wasn't able to drink or eat, what was the point of inviting him or him being here?
"Amitabha. Don't worry, benefactor. This poor monk can drink alcohol. As long as this poor monk doesn't get drunk, everything is fine. As for the meats, it wasn't prepared especially for the poor monk but rather offered, so it's fine." Ling Chen answered as he placed his hands together and put on the appearance of a wise monk as usual.
"Good, I'm glad to hear that." Quickly answered Long Yi with a sigh of relief. It would have been very awkward if the Venerable Monk couldn't eat or drink alcohol.
After knowing that Ling Chen was able to eat and drink like the rest of the guests despite being a monk, Long Yi led Ling Chen to his table which was at the front.
Those who could sit near the front were all untouchable existences in the Sun Demi-God Domain, such as the envoys of the Sun God Palace and the patriarchs and grand elders of the other nine ancient families...only they were qualified to have the closest seats.
However, a nameless monk such as Ling Chen was seating there. This caused many guests to become quite puzzled. They didn't know why a nameless monk such as Ling Chen was qualified to occupy such a seat.
Though many speculations ran wild in their minds, they didn't ask any questions. They could only stay quiet. At the same time, their interest in Ling Chen seemed to have sparked even more fervent.
"Where might Venerable Monk be from?" When Long Yi left, a middle-aged man from the table next to Ling Chen suddenly came to him and asked.
This middle-aged man's name was Mu Tian, the patriarch of the Mu Family, one of the nine ancient families in the Sun Demi-God along with the Long Family.
The moment the Mu Tian asked Ling Chen about his origin, he couldn't help but assess him. No matter how he looked at it, Ling Chen appeared to be very ordinary. There seemed to be nothing impressive about him at all.
However, Long Yi was treating him as though he was the Sun Demi-God. Thus, the Mu Tian found it very strange. He had never heard of that nameless monk before. Just what was the background of this monk who even Long Yi, the right-handed man of the Long Family's head had to treat him with such respect?
Mu Tian was very confident that he would be able to recognize anyone who was famous and the powerful existences in the Sun Demi-God Domain as well as the other Domains, but the monk before him was a complete mystery.
"Amitabha. I'm sorry benefactor but this poor wandering monk has been traveling the world for so long that he even forgot about his place of birth and even his real name." Answered Ling Chen with a compassionate smile on his face.
"Well, it's an honor to have you here with us." Mu Tian answered politely.
Meanwhile, he was cursing Ling Chen inwardly, ' Old bastard, enough with the bullshit. If you don't want to tell me about your background, just shut up.'
Mu Tian was also smart. Seeing that Ling Chen wasn't interested in talking to him or divulging his background, he took his leave after a few more polite sentences.
After Mu Tian left, Ling Chen shifted his gaze onto his table that was filled with delicious foods and alcohol. The sweet fragrance of alcohol permeated the air. The dishes served consisted of valuable demonic beast meat, brewed, and of top-grade quality.
Without any hesitation, Ling Chen picked up a bottle of wine and filled his glass. Before long, he was sipping on his wine while checking out the guests in the main hall.
Meanwhile, He didn't know why but he had a bad feeling about this whole invitation party. He could feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger around it. However, he was sure of one thing, this party won't end well.
While Ling Chen was still immersed in his thought, a middle-aged man clad in luxurious robes suddenly walked into the main hall.
The moment he appeared, the entire main hall became quiet as everyone's gaze was fixated upon him.
The middle-aged man was over six feet tall and he had long bluish-gray hair. Despite his gray hair, his complexion was still good for he was in high spirits and had a youthful vigor.
His face was extraordinarily handsome but it also instilled fear in the hearts of anyone who gazed upon it.
This was especially true when it came to this man's eyes. Despite restraining his terrifying aura, just his gaze alone was enough to instill cold chills into others.
"It seems like Long Bai has gotten even stronger." Murmured one of the guests after seeing the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was none other than the current master of the Long Family, the reason for this celebration — Long Bai.
Even though he was 900 years old today, but his entire person was unnecessarily white, with not the slightest of wrinkles. He seemed that he was at most forty years of age.
When the Long Bai appeared, he sat in the seat of honor. After seeing Long Bai, Ling Chen was now sure that he had never met him in his life.
At the same time, another young man appeared and sat down next to Long Bai.
Without any introduction, Ling Chen already had an idea who this young man was. He was the legendary Long Zhentian, one of the Twenty Young Deities. The young man who wielded the highest amount of authority in the entire Long Family except for the patriarch.
Long Zhentian wore a yellow robe with golden stitches, looking as dominant and stately as can be. He had a powerful and magnanimous presence without peers. His presence alone commanded respect.
Even though it was very quick and subtle, before Long Zhentian sat down on his seat, a strange glow flashed in the depths of his eyes as he took a quick glance at Ling Chen.
At the same time, Ling Chen didn't seem to shy away from his gaze as he stared at him as well with an amiable smile on his face.' He's indeed a genius. At such a young age, he had already broken through the 5th Tribulation Martial Saint."
One had to understand, Long Zhentian wasn't like him or his children that didn't need to spend years cultivating in order to increase their strength. Yet, despite cultivating the old fashion way, he had already broken through the 5th Tribulation Martial Saint at such a young age.
He truly deserved respect.
After sitting on the seat of honor, Long Bai cleared his throat and looked at the guests before slowly speaking: "Today is this old man's 900th birthday party celebration, and all of you traveled from afar to come here."
"I am very grateful for this, so I offer everyone a toast!" Having said that, he slowly raised his cup.
After hearing Long Bai's little speech, all of the guests present quickly raised their cups as well.
After the toast, all the guests were still looking at Long Bai who seemed to have more to say. Sure enough, he didn't let them wait long as he continued." Aside from thanking everyone for coming and celebrate this joyful day with this old man, I also want to offer a special toast to a special guest."
Having said that, he stood up and stared in the direction of Ling Chen as he said with a mysterious smile on his face." I'd like to thank Ling Chen, also known as the Fateless monster or the little devil, for coming all the way from Heaven Desolate Region to attend this old man's birthday party."
As the sound of Long Bai's voice faded, The main hall instantly became so quiet that a needle falling could be heard.
There was absolute stillness. It was so quiet that the guests could even hear each other breathing.
There was no other sound because people had yet to return from their shock.
