Chapter 724: Challenge at the Banquet

"The Azure Realm is a big threat.|^" Shen Zheng said. He didn't say anything about what he knew. No matter what kind of conflicts there are, the Holy Blood Empire is also a part of the Source Realm, a country of compatriots, and one of his own. Even if this empire will not become his friend in the end, as long as they will fight against the invaders from other worlds, then Shen Zheng will do his best to help them.

Listening to Shen Zheng's story, Saint Dawson's eyes became solemn, and he nodded constantly, and finally couldn't help asking: "So, where is this space crack?"

"In my legendary secret realm." Shen Zheng said. "It's very small and very safe."

"Very small?" Saint Dawson was puzzled.

"Only one person can pass through at a time." Shen Zheng said. [

"Yeah." Saint Dawson nodded slowly. Then he smiled: "The banquet should be ready, please."

Shen Zheng did not refuse, nodded and took Xuejun Xiangji, and followed Saint Dawson to the banquet hall. In the hall, beautiful waitresses stood around the long table, holding plates with fine wine in their hands. The long table was rectangular, covered with a white tablecloth that emitted a little starlight. Various delicacies were placed from one end of the table to the other, emitting an enticing aroma.

There were already more than a dozen people sitting around the table. When they saw Saint Dawson coming, they immediately stood up and nodded respectfully. Saint Dawson waved his hand, motioning everyone to sit down. He sat in the chairman's seat at the top of the long table and asked Shen Zheng to sit in the VIP seat on the left. Shen Zheng found that there was an empty seat next to him, which was obviously prepared for Xuejun Xiangji, but the little girl didn't dare to sit down. He smiled and pulled her and pressed her into the seat.

"Everyone, let me introduce you." Saint Dawson said, "This is the leader of the Yuexuan Empire Holy Alliance, Shen Zheng, who has recently become famous."

Shen Zheng looked around at everyone and nodded.

"And this is a member of our country's Xuehe Storm Family, Xuejun Xiangji." He also introduced the little girl to everyone.

"I recognize him." An officer in silver uniform said, "We are from the same clan."

"Oh, by the way, this one is also from your Xue family." Saint Dawson smiled and pointed at the officer.

Xue Jun Xiang Ji smiled at the man: "Hello, Brother Xin."

"Xiang Ji, why are you with him?" The officer frowned.

"She is fighting for the honor of your Xue family." Shen Zheng found that the officer's eyes were full of hostility, and couldn't help but smile. "Her purpose of following me is to assassinate me and take back the Xue family's treasure, the God of Desolation."

"What? Your Xue family's treasure was taken away by him?" Another officer exclaimed, exclaiming exaggeratedly. |^

"This is a great shame!" A noble in a gorgeous robe shook his head and sighed. "How can I face people if I am?"

Bang!

He slapped the table, shaking the food, and the silver-clad officer of the Xue family stood up, looking at Shen Zheng with cold eyes.

"Shen Zheng, I want to duel with you!" He shouted, "If I win, you will hand over the treasure of my Xue family!"

"Brother Xin, what are you doing? I have made a bet with Alliance Leader Shen!" Seeing that this brother of the same clan disrupted the banquet, Xue Jun Xiang Ji felt very embarrassed and scolded him.

Shen Zheng looked at him coldly and said nothing.

"Xue Xin, sit down." A noble smiled, "Rumors don't have legs, they move faster than anyone else, and every step they take, they grow a little bigger. The border is too far away from us, and some things are inevitably distorted when they are passed on. He is just the leader of a small alliance. Do you think he is the elite of your Xue family, the imperial noble? He will be worried about being injured by you and will not fight. Just sit down. Don't ruin the Marshal's banquet." [

"Not bad." An officer sneered, "You see, Alliance Master Shen only dared to bet with the little girl. Alliance Master Shen would not agree to a real fight."

"Your Xue family is really unlucky. I don't know how you lost such an important thing." Another noble shook his head and sighed, "It's a bargain for the Holy Alliance."

"By the way, Alliance Master Shen, I heard that there are orb masters in your Holy Alliance?" asked a noble. "This is incredible. I heard that there are only two gem masters in your Yuexuan Empire. Could it be that Alliance Leader Shen has some connections in the royal court and borrowed one from there?"

"It is very likely." An officer nodded very solemnly, "Gem masters are not cabbages. Do you think that every family can have one? Our Holy Blood Empire only has three gem masters. They are all adults with superior status, and they can sit on an equal footing with the elders and the Grand Marshal. How can a small alliance have them?"

"Marshal, I think everything is a conspiracy." An officer said, "I think this should be the case. Everything is a conspiracy of the Yuexuan Empire. They sent a gem master to this Holy Alliance, and then let someone pretend to inform our country of the news, luring us to explore, and ended up being ambushed by their imperial army."

"That's right!" Xue Xin slapped the table again, "Master Xue Guanglan is also a strong man in our Xue family, and his son is the direct disciple of Master Guang Haokong. With their strength, how could they lose to a small alliance?"

Shen Zheng listened quietly, feeling the ever-changing atmosphere at the banquet, with a face expression all the time. Saint Dawson was just like him, just listening with a faint smile on his face. He didn't stop or explain, just like a bystander.

Instantly Shen Zheng understood that this banquet was not a place for explanation at all. The Holy Blood Empire just wanted to get his knowledge about the Azure Realm, and then ridicule and humiliate him to save the face he had lost before.

These people, like Xue Sanchen and others, learned about their background from Guang Haokong and knew that they should only have a portable secret realm by their side at this time, and could no longer exert the powerful power that was comparable to Guang Haokong. Therefore, they wanted to take this opportunity to retaliate.

Despicable.

Xue Jun Xiang Ji looked at all this, her eyes full of confusion. She looked at Sheng Dasen, waiting for Sheng Dasen to stop her, but found that Sheng Dasen was like an audience, only knowing how to appreciate this drama, but not participating. She instantly felt more embarrassed than the big figures of her own country invited Shen Zheng to a banquet, but did the most humiliating things at the banquet.

She felt that it was not Shen Zheng who was being humiliated now, but the Holy Blood Empire.

Is this the character of the great empire? Is this the demeanor of the great empire? After others told us all the situations in the other world without knowing it, we only gave them such ridicule?

"Don't say it anymore!" Xue Jun Xiang Ji suddenly had a courage in her body, she stood up and shouted loudly. "You don't know anything at all! Alliance Master Shen..."

"Girl, sit down." Shen Zheng smiled faintly, and the power of space suddenly activated, pressing Xuejun Xiangji to the seat.

"You are a good girl." Shen Zheng looked at her, his eyes full of praise.

Then, he looked around at everyone with a confident smile.

"Very interesting, very interesting." He nodded slightly and smiled faintly. "This is the most interesting banquet I have ever attended. Although there is no singing and dancing performance, this farce makes people want to laugh. But I know that everyone present is a senior military official of the Holy Blood Empire and a noble noble, so I can only force myself not to laugh out loud and lose my composure in front of you."

Everyone was stunned, looking at Shen Zheng, vaguely feeling that the humiliated person was in control of the situation and turned everyone's initiative into passivity.

"Whether it's this officer of the Blood Family or any other curious person who thinks I'm not worthy of my name." Shen Zheng said, "I accept all your challenges. The time, place, and content are up to you."

"Arrogant!" A noble slammed the table after being stunned for a while. "Who do you think you are? Where do you think this is? This is not the desolate little place on the border. This is the center of the Holy Blood Empire, the most noble place in the starry sea!"

"Then what do you mean?" Shen Zheng smiled helplessly. "It was your people who challenged me first, and I just accepted the challenge. If I don't speak, you say I'm timid; if I speak, you say I'm arrogant. What do you want? Why don't you discuss it among yourselves first, and then tell me." [

As he said this, he raised the cup by himself, but the beautiful woman with the tray behind him was stunned, but didn't know how to step forward. He smiled and shook the wine glass: "The quality of the imperial maids seems to be not high. Can't they even add wine?"

The maid stared at Saint Dawson in a daze. When she got the latter's vicious look, she hurried forward and filled Shen Zheng's glass with wine. Shen Zheng leaned back leisurely on the chair and tasted the wine slowly.

"Too arrogant!" Many people shouted, jumping up and down, roaring loudly, which formed a sharp contrast with Shen Zheng's calmness. Xue Jun Xiangji watched quietly, and suddenly felt that Shen Zheng, who was so calm, had such a fascinating charm.

"Enough!" Xue Xin looked at Saint Dawson in doubt, but after getting a slight nod from the other party, he slapped the table again. "Everyone, this is our Xue family's business, please let me solve it! Shen Zheng, I formally challenge you!"

"I've said it, I accept it." Shen Zheng slowly tasted the wine and nodded slightly in approval. "The wine of the Holy Blood Empire tastes really good. It's a pity that I'm not a wine lover, and I can't tell the difference between it and the wine brewed in my remote and desolate secret place."

"Arrogant, arrogant!" Many people followed suit and slapped the table. The banquet was in chaos, as if it was a drum and music competition. Xuejun Xiangji saw it with her eyes and heard it with her ears. She just felt so funny and couldn't help laughing, but these embarrassing guys were actually her compatriots, and Shen Zheng was a foreigner, so she couldn't help blushing.

"Marshal." Shen Zheng slowly put down the notebook and looked at Sheng Dasen with a friendly smile. "I have an unwelcome request."

"Please speak, Master Shen." Sheng Dasen responded with a friendly smile.

"Can you lend me a place so that I can have a friendly exchange with these friends?" Shen Zheng asked calmly, and then added an explanation. "You know, for the strong, exchange and exchange is the best way to increase friendship. In this kind of exchange, it can promote the feelings between the two countries and improve their respective military strength."

"That's true." Sheng Dasen nodded, then smiled helplessly. "Alliance Master Shen, I'm sorry to embarrass you. We in the Holy Blood Empire are so impulsive. You should calm down!"

When he said this, a gloomy aura spread to the crowd, and the people who were jumping up and down shuddered and quieted down.

At this time, they realized that they actually made Shen Zheng look taller.

"Damn it!"

They cursed in their hearts and swore in hatred.

Originally, I just followed the instructions of the Marshal to humiliate you and save the face of the empire, but I didn't expect that you, such an arrogant guy, would accept the challenge. Well, then I'll kill you!
