Chapter 278: A Night of Insomnia is Destined
At that moment,
many prominent figures in the banquet hall suddenly stood up, shifting their gazes toward the entrance.
Zhou Kun and his companions also turned to look.
They saw an old man in black, flanked by several subordinates, striding in!
“My goodness, it’s actually the old patriarch of the Lu family!”
“Isn’t the old patriarch Lu in seclusion for many years, trying to break through to the Martial Saint realm? I can’t believe he has come out to attend the banquet today!”
A group of guests murmured among themselves, their expressions filled with awe.
At this time,
another elder dressed in gray entered, accompanied by a crowd, smiling as he walked in!
The old patriarch of the Yang family has arrived!
Yang Dong is also a peak Martial Soul, a super powerhouse with one foot in the Martial Saint realm!
He scanned the entire hall and finally fixed his gaze on Lu Jialin, a smile appearing on his aged face as he said:
“Hehe, Patriarch Lu has arrived quite early!”
“How could I not? I was so excited last night that I couldn’t sleep a wink!”
Lu Jialin replied with a smile.
“Indeed! I’m just like you!”
Yang Dong nodded.
The two were like old friends who hadn’t seen each other in years, chatting and laughing harmoniously,
and finally, they sat together at the frontmost seats…
Seeing this, the leaders of other factions approached with flattering smiles, eager to forge connections…
Witnessing this scene,
Zhou Kun’s expression turned grave.
There are three top families on the island!
They are the Wu family, the Lu family, and the Yang family,
with the Wu family being the strongest, while the Lu and Yang families are slightly weaker, though still formidable.
Most importantly,
each of the three families has a Martial Saint-level presence…
In this era, a Martial Saint represents invincibility; if a Martial Saint appears tonight, the three of them will undoubtedly die!
……
As time ticked by, at around six fifty,
“Bang bang bang!”
Suddenly, several heavy footsteps echoed from outside the door!
A stunning woman in a red short dress, wearing high heels, walked in!
The woman had a cold expression, her emerald eyes scanning the room, her face betraying no emotion, as if the leaders of the various factions were mere ants in her eyes.
This person is none other than Madam Maria, a high-ranking official from the American Gene Laboratory!
Beside Madam Maria,
a middle-aged man in a suit accompanied her; this man is the island’s master, Wu Tianlong!
And behind the two of them,
followed a group of bodyguards!
Among them, a particularly striking figure was a tall, muscular man with blonde hair and blue eyes.
This muscular man stood nearly two meters tall, his muscles bulging like a small mountain!
Their heavy footsteps were the source of the earlier “bang bang bang” sounds!
“Modified human!”
The crowd’s expressions turned serious.
Westerners, due to their physical constitution, cannot cultivate martial arts by nature, so they use science and technology to modify their bodies to reach a level comparable to martial artists!
This muscular man exuded no visible aura, yet he gave off a strong sense of oppression, clearly a modified human!
And since he was sent to protect Madam Maria,
he must be an elite among modified humans!!!
“Target has appeared, prepare to act!”
Seeing Maria’s arrival, Zhou Kun immediately whispered to Qian Ming and Zheng Dahai beside him.
The assassination must be swift; it cannot be delayed, as the longer it drags on, the more likely changes will occur!
……
Meanwhile,
outside the Dragon Scale Hotel,
Lin Feng stood in front of an ancient statue, observing it with great interest.
The statue stood about two meters tall; although its carvings had weathered considerably, it was still recognizable as a beautiful woman’s figure!
The woman had a voluptuous figure, her chest held high…
Of course, that wasn’t the key point!
The key is that
Lin Feng sensed a strange aura emanating from this statue, somewhat similar to the aura of a formation!
“Could this statue be a formation eye?”
Lin Feng pondered for a moment.
He decided to extend his spiritual sense, enveloping the vast Dragon Scale Hotel,
and sure enough!
Centered around the Dragon Scale Hotel, a formation was laid out encompassing nearly a thousand meters, with the inconspicuous female statue in front of the hotel serving as the formation eye!
This formation is quite exquisite!
It subtly aligns with the principles of yin and yang, mutually repelling yet also nurturing, clearly a formation that combines offense and defense!
“Strange, why would there be a protective formation here? Could it have been left behind by the Dragon Spirit Sect years ago?”
Lin Feng thought carefully.
He knew that such a formation could not be set up by martial artists; only cultivators could do it!
At this moment,
Lin Feng’s mind stirred, and he took out his phone to search for information about the Dragon Scale Hotel.
He found out that this hotel was established seventy years ago…
This means that
the formation was laid out within the last seventy years, intended to protect the Dragon Scale Hotel!
“Interesting! It seems there are still cultivators on this island! To set up such a formation, they must at least be at the Great Perfection stage of the Golden Core realm…”
“Seventy years ago, a Golden Core Great Perfection, now seventy years later, surely they have broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, right?”
“Very good, very good! I haven’t used my Essence Absorption technique in a long time!”
A glint of excitement flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes,
and he felt the blood and energy within him starting to boil.
He didn’t expect that this time, in addition to the energy orbs from those modified humans, he would have unexpected gains!
At that moment,
a security martial artist from the Dragon Scale Hotel noticed Lin Feng,
and a sinister smile appeared on his face as he quickly approached!
It was already past seven, and the banquet had long since begun; for safety reasons, they had cleared the area around the hotel!
This kid didn’t know how he slipped in and even dared to stand here openly; he was truly ignorant and fearless!
“Kid! Have you lived too long to dare sneak in here?”
The security martial artist sneered as he approached Lin Feng.
Lin Feng glanced at the security martial artist and asked:
“Where are you from?”
“None of your business!”
The security martial artist scoffed coldly.
“Hehe…”
Lin Feng chuckled, suddenly reaching out and giving a gentle twist.
“Crack!”
The security martial artist’s neck snapped with a sound,
and he clutched his neck, looking at Lin Feng in disbelief, his eyes filled with confusion, as if he couldn’t believe he had died just like that…
“Remember in your next life, when someone asks you a question, you should answer politely.”
Lin Feng ignited a flame with a finger, turning the security martial artist to ashes.
And this scene,
was immediately noticed by other patrolling martial artists not far away,
who all rushed toward Lin Feng with cold expressions.
Lin Feng stood still, quietly waiting for them to arrive, a bloodthirsty smile creeping onto his lips as he murmured:
“Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!”
