Though there were Innate level experts among them, they still died against an expert of this level.

Everyone fell silent. Many were frightened by the methods of the Heavenly Dragon Elder. Speaking of which, the elder had not done such a thing in decades. This was because other than the traditional forces of the Federation, he was neutral.

Most people did not dare to provoke the Heavenly Dragon Villa. Naturally, there were fewer opportunities for the elder to make a move. All sorts of rumors about the elder’s old age were spreading. action

After all, the Heavenly Dragon Elder was already close to 200 years old. Even according to the lifespan of Divine experts, he had already entered old age.

With the current lifespan of humans, most people could live past 100 years old. They could reach the limit of the number of times the human cells could divide—120 years old.

Those who reached the Innate Stage would be able to break through this limit and live past 150 years old. However, those who could live past 200 years old were only Divine experts

However, even for Divine experts, this was considered as stepping into old age.

Regardless of what kind of expert it was, once they stepped into old age, their abilities would start to decline in all aspects. This was in accordance with the laws of nature.

The principle that the fist was afraid of the young was true most of the time.

Many people even began to belittle them. There was even a saying that Divine experts who had reached their old age could be surrounded and killed by a few peak Innate experts.

This kind of rumor was quite popular in private.

And now, the Heavenly Dragon Elder had used the blood of these cult members to declare that he was not that old. If one thought that he could be belittled just because he was old, that would be a huge mistake.

Although the elder was old, he was not so old that he could not wield a blade.

The crowd did not know how much of the Heavenly Dragon Elder’s intention was to demonstrate his power, but they sensed it. Moreover, they also understood that even if the elder demonstrated his power, it would not be in their favor.

People like them might be important figures in the Federation, but to experts like the Heavenly Dragon Elder, they were nothing.

The true targets of the elder’s demonstration were the other Divine experts.

Why did he, the Heavenly Dragon Elder, have to hold a grand birthday banquet every ten years? It was not to show off. It was to announce to the public that he was not dead yet. As long as he was not dead, he would serve as a great deterrent.

“All right. The pests have been cleared out,” the elder said with a smile. Then, he raised the wine cup on the table in front of him and said loudly, “Everyone, I won’t say anything else. Cheers!”

Everyone raised their cups and drank. Following that, the entire atmosphere became lively again. They exchanged greetings and toasted each other.

Then, the important figures of the Federation whom many would only ever see on television left their seats one by one. Then, they took turns to come forward to toast and celebrate the elder on his birthday.

Only the important figures of the Federation were qualified to come forward to toast. After these important figures had taken turns to greet the elder, it was Chu Yunfan, Feng Tianyuan, and Jiang Beixuan’s turn to come forward and toast him.

“We wish you a long and boundless life, Heavenly Dragon Elder,” Chu Yunfan and the other two said as they raised their cups.

The elder smiled and drank his wine for the first time. The elder’s cup had only touched his lips when those important figures had toasted him. Many were secretly paying attention to this and were shocked. The elder’s concern for these few people was really incredible.

“Good. Very good. You guys are not bad. In the future, mankind will still have to depend on you. The world is ultimately yours,” the elder smiled and gave them encouraging words. Chu Yunfan and the others humbly said a few words before returning to their seats.

“These are the three little guys who received the invitations this year?” the elder said to the Heavenly Dragon Villa’s leader who was sitting beside him.

With his status and age, there was nothing wrong with the elder calling them little guys.

“That’s right. They’re the three elites who received the invitations this year.” The leader nodded. He was the leader of the Heavenly Dragon Villa, but at this moment, he was only a son.

“Only three people came this year? interesting. And that Chu Yunfan is not even 20 years old?” the elder said with a smile.

“That’s right. Chu Yunfan is a branch descendant of the Chu family. He’s only 19 this year. But according to the information I received, he’s extremely powerful. In his second year, he’s already the second-strongest person at Federation University. He’s only second to Jiang Lingxiao who did not come this time,” Lin Shaoyu said.

“That’s indeed impressive. I didn’t expect that a branch descendant of the Chus would have such a cultivation level,” the elder said. He knew too well how important resources were during the cultivation process. As a branch descendant of the Chud, Chu Yunfan definitely would not have been able to obtain many resources. However, he was still able to surpass everyone else. This could only be attributed to Chu Yunfan’s talent.

“I heard that you plan on choosing a husband for Shuna?” the elder asked. He was talking about the leader’s daughter, Lin Shuna.

“Yes. Shuna is already 22. It’s about time for her to start a family. Although martial artists usually start families late, it’s not a bad idea to get engaged first. Those who managed to get their hands on an invitation and come here are the cream of the crop among their peers. If they become Shuna’s husband, she definitely won’t be wronged,” the leader said with a smile.

“This is not a matter of grievance. Our family isn’t in any difficulty that we need to use Shuna to form a marriage alliance. Let her choose her own husband. None of you should interfere,” the elder said.

The leader smiled bitterly. There were many girls in the Heavenly Dragon Villa who had chosen their husbands this way, but the elder did not wish to interfere in Shuna’s affair. It was clear how much he loved this little granddaughter of his.

However, since the elder had spoken, the leader naturally had nothing to say.

After drinking and eating, everyone stopped and looked at the elder sitting on the throne. They knew that the main event had yet to begin.

The elder glanced at everyone, then said, “Everyone, I believe you have heard that the Heavenly Dragon Villa will be giving out a peak Innate monster’s inner core as a reward. The reward will be given to the most outstanding junior of humanity in the past ten years.”
