It was a short monk as thin as a match. He was very old, and not only was his skin full of wrinkles and marks, they were very loose, as though they were detached from flesh. He was simply like a dead person already in a coffin.
He was a rank seven Martial Lord, and his cultivation was not inferior to the sect head's. He too was a famous person in the Winter Plains, named Monk Pingjing.1
"Sir Pingjing's words are reasonable." After hearing that monk's words, the crowd nodded, expressing agreement.
Seeing there was someone speaking against him, the head of the Stone Sword Sect tightly furrowed his brows. He felt quite displeased, but didn't know how to defend himself. As such, he could only cast his gaze at the black-haired old man by his side.
That black-haired old man was not a simple person at all. He was not only a rank eight Martial Lord, he was even sitting on the main seat in the banquet. Moreover, the clothes he wore made everyone feel both respect and fear, because he was a person from the Immortal Execution Archipelago.
Many of the peak characters in the Winter Plains had gathered here for that person, not really for the head of the Stone Sword Sect.
"Who made the rule that the omen for the arrival of a Divine Body couldn't contain deterrence?
"And who made the rule that the arrival of a Divine Body demanded an announcement to the world which family it would appear in?" The black-haired old man calmly spoke, but his serene words were full of threat.
"Eh..."
"This..."
After he spoke, the crowd was speechless. No one dared to argue whether the lightning was an omen of a Divine Body. Not because they didn't know how, but because they didn't dare.
"Haha, Lord Yan is correct. It's most likely a Divine Body, otherwise how could something like that suddenly appear?
"But so what if it's a Divine Body? A Divine Body did appear at that Zi family, but other than a beautiful complexion, she had no accomplishments in cultivation.
"So, legends will only be legends. Even if it truly appears, it may not be as powerful as rumoured." After a short moment in silence, there was someone who added on, agreeing with that Lord Yan's perspective. It was quite a well-done bootlicking.
"Yeah! Not to mention the Divine Body isn't as powerful as the legends, even if it were, so what? Right now, it's said the most powerful genius is Chu Feng in the Eastern Sea Region. He is indeed quite shocking and grasps many legendary techniques.
"Yet, back then, wasn't he still driven away by Sect Head Shi? Even an exceptional genius will be no match in front of a true expert." More and more people started joining in. They used Chu Feng's escape due to Shi Jingtian as an example to insult the title of "genius".
"That's right, that's right! I've also heard of that, but regretfully, I wasn't able to personally see it. Sect Head Shi, how about you tell us what happened back then?"
"Right right right! Sect Head Shi, quickly tell us whether that genius was as powerful as the rumours, and how he was beaten away like a dog by you!"
At that moment, the crowd's tense emotions started to be relieved. They, who did not know the truth, actually took Chu Feng as a joke. They even asked the head of the Stone Sword Sect to narrate Chu Feng's disgraceful scene.
As he heard their words, the head of the Stone Sword Sect first drank a cup of wine, then wiped his mouth before proudly smiling and saying with a wave of his hand, "That Chu Feng was no match for me. He's unworthy of a mention."
"Unworthy of a mention, or too embarrassed to mention?
"You're afraid of telling the truth and being laughed at everyone here, right?" But just at that moment, a voice filled with mocking rang out from the disciples below. It shocked everyone.
"Insolence! Who dares to be so audacious and speak such nonsense?!" The head of the Stone Sword Sect was enraged when he heard that. He violently slammed the table, then stood up and loudly questioned as he pointed at a certain location in the plaza.
Seeing that, many disciples changed their expressions greatly from the fright. Their bodies trembled, and all of them drew some distance from the person who spoke, greatly afraid they would be affected by that fearless person. They wanted to rid themselves of fault.
In a situation like that, the densely packed plaza very soon became empty. Only a single person remaining standing there.
It was a young man. He was not only fearless, he even had a smile on his face. He was smiling and looking at the head of the Stone Sword Sect who stood at the peak of the palace, and said, "Old bastard, I didn't expect you were still alive."

MGA: Chapter 867 - Chu Feng's Attack
"Chu Feng? It's Chu Feng!" After they saw his person, everyone was shocked.
The famous people within the peak of the palace all stood up, as if they were facing a huge enemy. The disciples on the plaza all rose into the air, quickly backing away, creating some distance.
At present, his name was too ferocious. And, since everyone here was a part of the Immortal Execution Archipelago, they were enemies to the Crippling Night Demon Sect. So, to them, Chu Feng was definitely an extremely dangerous person.
However, at that instant, the person who felt the most alarmed was none other than the head of the Stone Sword Sect. He was the only person here who had seen Chu Feng's strength and techniques.
He knew very well what sort of person he was. Not only was his strength unbelievably strong, as a person, he was ruthless and cruel. He would never forget how Chu Feng and Eggy tortured him when he was receiving the backlash of the Forbidden Medicine.
If the Third Immortal hadn't arrived, who knew how much more pain he would have felt.
So, when he saw Chu Feng again, he felt very afraid. His fear towards Chu Feng was already imbued into his bones.
But, no matter how afraid he was, he could not display any of it, and when he thought of the Third Immortal's subordinate, Lord Yan, he felt quite a bit more at ease.
So, the head of the Stone Sword Sect coldly snorted, and said domineeringly, "Chu Feng, you truly have quite the nerves! Back then, I spared your life, yet you still dare to stir up trouble in my Stone Sword Sect? Do you truly think I won't kill you?"
