In the Zhongnan Mountain, it was still the same mountain, the same mountain peak.

Since the last battle, the scars on the ground had not changed at all.

After all, except for the Wulin people, no one else would come to this mountain. But how could the people of Wulin have time to repair this bluestone ground which looked like an ancient book?

People in Wulin did not pay attention to trifles.

Therefore, this was exactly what Lin Rusheng did.

Back then, after inviting Fang Qiu, Lin Rusheng invited everyone on the Wulin forum to celebrate with him.

Obviously, those Wulin people didn’t like this Lin Rusheng.

On the one hand, the fact that Lin Rusheng challenged John Doe at the auction already showed that he was narrow-minded.

Secondly, this man was too arrogant. Although it was true that he had taken that step, he showed off on the Wulin online forum before he really became a guru. He even invited his fellow practitioners to celebrate.

Although they despised him, the vast number of Wulin people were also very helpless.

After all, gurus were legendary super experts in Wulin. There were very few gurus in Wulin. Not to mention ordinary martial arts practitioners, even the Four Great Families and the top forces in Wulin were afraid of gurus.

Therefore, under the invitation of Lin Rusheng, although the vast number of Wulin people wanted to, they did not dare to refuse. No one wanted to offend a guru.

When it was time, the invited Wulin people still went to Zhongnan Mountain one after another.

Of course, in addition to those who didn’t like Lin Rusheng but still had to come, there were also many martial arts practitioners who saw the news on the Wulin online forum and knew nothing about the inside story.

“It’s all set up.”

“This place is truly suitable for holding a grand banquet.”

“There are at least fifty tables here, right?”

“Ten people at a table equals five hundred people.”

“How can fifty tables be enough? There are definitely more than five hundred people here today.”

“Where’s Mr. Lin Rusheng?”

“He didn’t come, but the banquet has been set up?”

“He battled with John Doe here before. Now that he has successfully passed that test, he can indeed hold a banquet, but why did he choose Zhongnan Mountain? Does he really regard Zhongnan Mountain as his home?”

“Isn’t he always wearing a Taoist robe? Does he want to take the opportunity to start a sect in Zhongnan Mountain?”

“Oh, it really is possible!”

“There are countless small forces in Wulin, but there’s not even one single guru among the second-class forces. Even one guru expert can promote their force to a top force. If Lin Rusheng establishes a sect here in public, I’m afraid that there will be another large force in Wulin!”

On the top of the mountain, there were so many people around that no one sat down.

The fifty tables were empty. There was wine but no food on them. Before Lin Rusheng showed up, no one dared to step forward and take a seat. After all, the number of seats was limited. It would be embarrassing if they took someone else’s seat.

At the same time, at the foot of this mountain.

Deep in the forest, a figure carrying a wooden box on his back was moving quickly through the forest.

With a closer look, one could see the man was dressed in black, and his face was covered by a black mask, revealing only his eyes.

This man was none other than Fang Qiu!

Walking out of the Death Desert, Fang Qiu rested for a night and went straight to Longquan as John Doe.

It wasn’t until today that he left the Long family for Zhongnan Mountain.

Along the way, Fang Qiu was thinking about this trip to Zhongnan Mountain.

In his opinion, although Lin Rusheng was a little arrogant and held a banquet, he had just reached the Guru Realm, so it was normal for him to be overjoyed. Since the other party had personally invited him and invited him before anyone else, he could not turn him down.

Although he was not afraid, he still couldn’t make Lin Rusheng lose face.

Of course, as the involved party, Fang Qiu didn’t have a good impression of Lin Rusheng.

However, since his opponent was able to pass through that test, it meant that he had comprehended it.

In that way, it was very likely that the narrow-mindedness Lin Rusheng showed in the past was caused by his years of being unable to break through. Now that he’d taken that step, his disposition might become better.

As a member of the Wulin, Fang Qiu certainly hoped that there would be one more good person in the Wulin.

That was why he agreed to come this time.

Just as Fang Qiu was hurrying on his way, on Zhongnan Mountain, the younger generation of the Four Great Families led by Diwu Qian and the top Wulin forces led by Yun Yangzi from Pear Garden arrived one by one.

Different from the others, after arriving, Yun Yangzi, Diwu Qian, Qian Xiao, Zhan Lin, and the young master of the Xi family did not stand around the tables at all. Instead, they directly walked into the field and were ready to sit down at the table in the center.

“Hahaha…”

A burst of laughter came from not far away.

Everyone turned to look.

They saw Lin Rusheng walking on the clouds.

His sage-like demeanor elicited a wave of exclamations from the crowd.

“Damn, that’s awesome.”

“Can a guru really go anywhere they want?”

“So awesome. He can actually fly on the clouds.”

“He’s like an immortal that has descended to the mortal world. Isn’t this amazing?”

The whole top of the mountain was extremely lively because of these discussions.

The protagonist appeared.

Naturally, everyone’s gazes landed on him.

“Thank you for coming, everyone.”

He arrived at the top of the mountain.

He landed immediately.

Although he had crossed the threshold, his real strength had not yet reached the Guru Realm. Therefore, it was indeed a little difficult for him to fly for a long while.

“Congratulations.”

The young master of the Xi family took the lead in walking forward. He took a wooden box from a servant and handed it to Lin Rusheng. At the same time, he said, “It is really worth celebrating that there is another powerful guru in Huaxia Wulin. This is a small gift I have prepared for you. I hope you like it.”

“The Confucian young master, Xi Shaolin?”

Looking at the young master of the Xi family, Lin Rusheng took the congratulatory gift without hesitation, then nodded gently and said, “The Xi family is not bad.”

“Thank you, sir.”

The young master of the Xi family Xi Shaolin took a step back and retreated to the side with a smile on his face.

“Congratulations.”

Only then did Diwu Qian, Qian Xiao, and Zhan Lin come up and give gifts with a fake smile. Lin Rusheng accepted all of them.

“Men!”

Since he couldn’t hold the gifts in his hands anymore, Lin Rusheng waved his hand and called some servants who had arrived long ago to collect all of them.

“Today is my big day. Everyone, stop standing there and take your seats.”

Lin Rusheng smiled and waved his hand.

The servants who had been prepared began to serve the dishes.

Of course, the dishes were very good, but there was no hot dish. They were all cold dishes.

“My distinguished guests, please follow me.”

After receiving Yun Yangzi’s gift, Lin Rusheng pointed to the table next to him and said, “This table is for John Doe.”

They were stunned.

Qian Xiao’s and Zhan Lin’s expressions were not very good. However, there was no change in emotions on the faces of Diwu Qian, Xi Shaolin, and Yun Yangzi.

But they still moved to another table.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

But soon, it became lively again when other people came forward to give gifts one after another.

Only after sending the gifts, did each of them dare to find a place to sit down.

Strangely, it might be an intentional act or a hidden rule. After sending gifts, the strong Wulin experts were all sitting in the inner circle, while the weak ones were sitting in the outer circle.

Soon, there were 50 tables full of dishes and wine, and there were many people standing around, with no seats.

“Thank you all for coming here to congratulate me. Unfortunately, this place is only so large. Those who don’t have seats, please forgive me.”

Lin Rusheng cupped his hands to express his thanks.

“Whoosh…”

There was a sound of rushing wind.

Hearing that, everyone immediately looked over.

They saw a black shadow leaping from the middle of the mountain like a cheetah in the forest, flying over quickly.

“It’s John Doe!”

“John Doe is here.”

“I thought he wouldn’t come.”

“John Doe promised to come.”

“Just in time for the banquet. Haha.”

Discussing, everyone shifted their focus from Lin Rusheng to John Doe.

Click!

Rushing into the field in an instant, Fang Qiu stopped and directly landed beside an empty table in the middle of the fifty tables.

At that time, Lin Rusheng was waiting by the table.

He stopped in his tracks.

Fang Qiu turned to glance at the audience and found that the Four Great Families and the top forces in Wulin had all sent people here, but he didn’t see anyone from the Sword Sect.

Whoosh!

As soon as Fang Qiu stopped, there was another sound of rushing wind.

A figure quickly rushed in front of Fang Qiu.

“Master, wait for me. You almost killed me.”

The speaker was He Gaoming.

“Brother John Doe.”

Lin Rusheng cupped his fists at Fang Qiu.

“Forgive me for being late.”

Fang Qiu cupped his fists at Lin Rusheng, then took off the wooden box on his back and handed it to Lin Rusheng. At the same time, he said, “Although you have crossed the chasm, you are still half a step away from the Guru Realm, so I have specially prepared a Guru Sword. Congratulations.”

Hearing that, all the people present couldn’t help exclaiming.

“A Guru Sword?”

“John Doe is really generous.”

“This congratulatory gift matches the event too well. A guru!”

“It seems that John Doe really has a good relationship with Lin Rusheng. Otherwise, how could he be willing to give a Guru Sword?”

“Yes, this Guru Sword is worth 200 to 300 million.”

Nevertheless, Lin Rusheng did not let the servant put away the sword, but held it in his hand.

Buzz!

With the long sword in his hand, Lin Rusheng burst out the Qi power in his body, which belonged to a Half-step Guru and instantly enveloped the whole top of the mountain.

The heavy pressure caused everyone to shiver!

“Thank you for your coming again.”

At the same time, Lin Rusheng said with a smile, “Of course, I have to thank Brother John Doe.”

After that, in front of everyone, he turned to look at Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu cupped his fists.

However, Lin Rusheng directly handed back the Guru Sword in his hand to Fang Qiu and said, “Brother John Doe, since I have crossed the chasm, this Guru Sword suits you the best. I also wish you to become a guru as soon as possible!”

Hearing that, everyone on the scene applauded.

In the next moment, “In addition to this Guru Sword, John Doe also has another divine sword. I wonder if you can part with it?”

As soon as he said that, all the people present were shocked!
