Hearing Qingfeng Li's words, all the self-cultivators around them began looking embarrassed.
It was because when the wave of demonic beasts came, they just stood on the city wall blocking the attacks from the demonic beasts instead of jumping off the city wall to attack them. It had been Qingfeng Li who had killed all the demonic beasts.
They felt ashamed when Qingfeng Li mentioned it and even Meng Lin, the City Lord was a bit embarrassed.
Thinking Qingfeng Li was trying to protest against him, Meng Lin glanced at him with disapproval in his eyes. But as a man of the world, he kept his anger in check instantly.
Meng Lin said, "I knew Qingfeng Li was not an ordinary man with his super powerful combat abilities, and that's why I gave him the opportunity to toughen himself. It was a pleasant surprise to me that he was so powerful that he actually managed to kill 100, 000 demonic beasts. He is a role model for all the self-cultivators."
Listening to Meng Lin's compliments, Qingfeng Li remained silent because he had seen the fleeting chilling light and indifference in Meng Lin's eyes under the fake smiles and praises.
He wondered if he had offended the City Lord somehow and made himself a target of the City Lord's schemes.
However, Qingfeng Li was not a bit of afraid since his strength had reached the first level of spirit monarch realm. Although he was still two levels lower than Meng Lin, he didn't think it was a bit problem.
If Meng Lin wanted to battle with him, he didn't mind showing his muscles off.
Lifting his wineglass, Meng Lin said, "Qingfeng Li, let's have another drink."
Without a word, Qingfeng Li lifted his wineglass and drained it.
Meng Lin glanced at the vice City Lord and the other subordinates meaningfully. The vice City Lord stood up and walked up to Qingfeng Li, saying, "Qingfeng Li, you are a hero today, saving the whole Emerald Lake City. Here I'll make a toast to you."
Qingfeng Li glanced coolly at the vice City Lord whom he thought an unsavory figure. Still he drained his glass with indifference.
When the other self-cultivators began to line up to drink with him, he was surprised but then he understood their intention, they were trying to drink him under the table before dealing with him.
Unfortunately, they underestimated Qingfeng Li's capacity for liquor. Equipped with his Devourer Bloodline, Qingfeng Li was like a bottomless hole and could turn all of the liquor into his energy.
In a short while, Qingfeng Li had drunk half of all the wine at the banquet, but he was as sober as a judge.
But some of the self-cultivators had drunk themselves senseless and several of them even fell asleep on the ground.
Meng Lin and the vice City Lord exchanged expressions when they found that they were no match for Qingfeng Li in drinking. They stopped drinking with him.
With a frown, Meng Lin said, "Qingfeng Li, today I have a proposal for you. I intend to invite you to join our dynasty."
Qingfeng Li asked, "Which dynasty do you belong to?"
Proudly, Meng Lin said, "I'm the emperor of the Meteorite Dynasty. We came into the Sun Mystic Realm quite early and had taken possession of Emerald Lake City and this mansion, which had once been the abode of a third level spirit monarch realm master. Once you join our dynasty, I will give you a spirit monarch realm elixir for your breakthrough."
Qingfeng Li frowned with surprise at the name of Meteorite Dynasty since he was not familiar with the kingdoms on the mainland and didn't know what level of existence Meteorite Dynasty was.
On the side, the emperor of Lingyun explained to him, "The Meteorite Dynasty is an intermediate dynasty 100 times bigger than Lingyun. The emperors of the intermediate dynasty are usually among the first to third level of the spirit monarch realm and even one of their princes has the power to destroy the Country of Lingyun."
Hearing the Lingyun Emperor's explanation, Qingfeng Li frowned while he began to understand the great power of the Meteorite Dynasty.
But Qingfeng Li was indifferent to its great power since he had many spirit treasures, each of which was extraordinary. Besides, as a resident of the Country of Lingyun, he wouldn't join the Meteorite Dynasty.
With a wave of his hand, Qingfeng Li refused the offer."Sorry, but I won't join the Meteorite Dynasty."
Hearing Qingfeng Li's refusal, Meng Lin's face turned dark, having not expected Qingfeng Li would refuse his offer to join the Meteorite Dynasty in front of all the self-cultivators. It was basically slapping his face.
With a sneer, Meng Lin asked, "Qingfeng Li, are you certain of your decision? Have you thought about the consequences?"
Qingfeng Li sneered at Meng Lin's threat, saying, "I'm a self-cultivator of the Country of Lingyun and won't join any dynasty, so save your breath. Besides, I have no interest in the Meteorite Dynasty or in you as a person."
Then he turned to the Sky Wolf Emperor, Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, and the others, saying, "Let's get out of here."
Abruptly, Meng Lin stood up and said coldly, "Without my permission, you can't leave."
With a thought, he emitted an overwhelming presence which filled the whole hall.
The vice City Lord and other self-cultivators all stood up and encircled Qingfeng Li.
Glancing around, Qingfeng Li found that the emperors of the lower tier kingdoms also regarded Meng Lin as their leader and took his orders.
Among the many self-cultivators, only one person looked embarrassed, and this person was the Chief Commander.
The Chief Commander had belonged to another force before he was recruited by Meng Lin into his dynasty.
He had joined Meng Lin reluctantly since he had been threatened. And that was why he looked at Qingfeng Li with sympathy in his eyes and was unwilling to attack him.
Qingfeng Li glanced at the Chief Commander with appreciation but regarded everyone else as his enemies.
The atmosphere turned dangerously tense, as a battle was about to break out any second.
Deng! Deng! Deng...
Suddenly, a series of urgent footsteps sounded from outside, shaking the whole ground.
An elder in a ragged grey robe ran in from outside as he cried excitedly, "Master! I have refined the second level spirit monarch elixir. Hurry up and take a look at it!"
The elderly in a ragged robe was none other than Wuheng Di, the spirit monarch realm alchemist of the Pharmacy.
