Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"An absolute expert."

In Yi Chen's vision, this person appeared to be shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see the depth. This situation, if not protected by a powerful artifact, implied that this person's strength was comparable to his—maybe even stronger.

With this thought, he became more cautious in his heart, not daring to scrutinize any further.

This time, a total of eight major powers were invited to attend the Carefree King's banquet.

Among them, what caught Yi Chen's attention were the Black Shark Tower, the Savage Fang Pavilion, and the Pink Tassel House, whose Family Heads were all of the eighth level of the True Person Realm.

The master of the Black Shark Tower was a burly man with a dark face; his imposing stature and ugly features coupled with a long, narrow scar stretched from his brow to the corner of his mouth, making him look even more ferocious.

The master of the Savage Fang Pavilion was a young scholar with rosy lips and white teeth, appearing gentle and innocent, but those who sat in this grand hall were naturally not of the benevolent sort.

The head of the Pink Tassel House was a sultry, red-dressed young woman with a slender waist and long legs. She was charmingly attractive and wore a tight, low-cut dress, not considering the attendees as strangers at all, half-exposing her ample bosom.

Yi Chen had clearly perceived this through his mind's eye mirror and offered a high appraisal, "This is generous, magnanimous, embodying the spirit of sharing characteristic of the early Internet era..."

The Carefree King flicked his robe and sat down with a smile, "Everyone here is part of our Carefree Alliance. We brothers rarely gather together, so today we must drink a few extra cups."

At his gesture, a pink-dressed young girl clapped her hands, and immediately a group of beautiful maids entered, carrying various delicacies in succession.

"The prince's hospitality is generous!" Everyone rose to their feet and respectfully toasted the Carefree King from afar.

Yi Chen had just put down his wine glass when suddenly an off-key note reached his ears.

"While it's true we all belong to the same alliance, it seems someone is breaking the rules. Gui Zhongdao, wouldn't you agree?"

"Do you realize Yan Renhen is my sworn brother? How did he offend you for you to take such ruthless action?"

The master of the Black Shark Tower was actually the first to confront Yi Chen.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's gaze converged on Yi Chen, with the Carefree King sitting at the head, a picture of detached calmness.

"Black Shark, someone from Blood Killing Tower slaughtered one of my silver badge assassins. Do you want me to wash my neck clean for Yan Renhen to take a swipe at it too?" Yi Chen replied with a cold laugh.

"For the sake of a silver badge assassin, you killed someone's own younger brother? Gui Zhongdao, who do you plan to swallow up next?"

Looking at the other leaders around him, Yi Chen began to surmise the situation.

It seemed they had colluded in advance to demand an explanation from him. It appeared his ruthless actions from the day before had provoked their wariness, prompting Black Shark to speak on their behalf.

They were rather mistaken in this; Yi Chen had little interest in their possessions. They didn't have Deep Red Points, and without it, why would he want their Gold Coins? It would just be exhausting and not worth the trouble.

Yi Chen swept his gaze around the hall, increasingly sensing an air of pretense from everyone, reminiscent of the Empress of the East Palace making pancakes and the Empress of the West Palace rolling scallions.

The first reason he had killed the master of the Blood Killing Tower was for Deep Red Points; the second was to intimidate other powers, to minimize interference as his people from Blood Killing Tower searched for malevolent spirits on his behalf.

He did not want to become the next Carefree King; too high a profile meant too many eyes from the Peacekeeping Division were watching.

The existence of the Carefree King served a purpose, creating a figure like him. Once the Carefree King became a liability or offended someone too important to be antagonized, the soldiers of Da Yue would descend, and those who had pushed him up would cast him into the abyss as if discarding trash.

With a clear understanding of the situation, things would be easier to handle.

Under the gaze of everyone present, Yi Chen replied expressionlessly, "If the Blood Killing Tower ceases to provoke, I naturally will not make another move against them."

At these words, the atmosphere in the hall immediately relaxed considerably, especially for the surviving vice master of Blood Killing Tower who heaved a long sigh of relief and repeatedly expressed his respect towards Yi Chen.

People are always more tolerant towards the strong. Having received the answer they wanted, no one was interested in seeking justice for a dead man, including Black Shark, the sworn brother of Yan Renhen.

"Now that we've cleared the air, there's no issue. Now then, you all have traveled from afar. I've put a lot of thought into this gathering. I have collected many exquisite beauties from all over the world to enhance your enjoyment," the Carefree King said with a beaming smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, a ripple of excitement passed through the crowd within the hall.

Yi Chen also showed a look of anticipation, his heart already starting to itch with eagerness.

At last, the main course was about to be served.

He had long heard that the Carefree King's feast was a splendid auditory event, and Gui Zhongdao wanted to see if it really lived up to its reputation.

He absolutely had to criticize such behavior~

As soon as the Carefree King's words ended, a row of maids pushing carts adorned with fresh flowers came out from the corridor beside the main door.

It was indeed like serving dishes, with each cart bearing the name of its maiden.

Eight stunningly beautiful women were immobilized by spirit-binding and body-sealing talismans, each with her own unique physique, some voluptuously rounded, others slender as swallows.

Some had a cool and aloof demeanor, some were sweet and endearing, some were bewitchingly beautiful, and some were tender and boneless.

Each one was a peerless beauty in the human world.

At this moment, the leader of the Blood Killing Tower couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Isn't that the former Family Head's wife?"

"And that one, seems like an Inner Sect Disciple of the Floral Faction."

"And that one, isn't she Shui Lingyue from the Shui Family?"

His recognition of three of the stunning beauties in this place showcased his excellent vision.

Black Shark was also staring wide-eyed: "That lady in green looks like she's from the Azure Cloud Sect. His Highness the King is really splurging this time."

The Carefree King nodded in satisfaction as he watched the astonished reactions of everyone present.

The eight beauties in the hall had all been carefully selected and kidnapped over the past two days.

"Gentlemen, indeed you have good eyesight. These people are either wives or daughters of small and medium-sized noble families or Inner Sect Disciples of various factions. Just make sure not to spread the word after you have enjoyed them."

The Carefree King was truly adroit.

When beauty reaches a certain level, what remains beyond the charisma is status.

And these women had statuses that were exceedingly sensitive. Each one had her own cultivation, noble identity, and if one could…

Yi Chen couldn't help but admire the Carefree King at this time. The man was truly a mad gambler. If they were to touch these women, their relationships would naturally become even closer.

Committing a misdeed together, having a shared secret, could indeed strengthen relationships more than doing a good deed together.

Yi Chen really hadn't expected the Carefree King to dare to meddle with all these women. This move was clearly audacious.

While everyone else's gaze flickered, weighing their thoughts, Yi Chen had already stood up decisively, pointing at a girl in white and saying, "I want this one, whoever dares to compete with me is disrespecting me, Gui Zhongdao."

Yi Chen had never expected to encounter Abbess Shuiyue here again.

At this time, Abbess Shuiyue, with her pointed chin, looked somewhat leaner, but was still plump and fruitful, and now had long, waterfall-like black hair. Panic filled her beautiful eyes, much like a little rabbit that had blundered into a wolf's den.

In this demon's lair, encountering an old acquaintance, Yi Chen could only extend a helping hand.

It was necessary to take some risks for this, and as for the other seven women, Yi Chen was powerless. It was not that they were not excellent, but because he was more familiar with Abbess Shuiyue. In the past, the Abbess had even served him a chicken leg, and he still held that kindness in his heart.

"Gui Zhongdao, I've also taken a liking to Shui Lingyue. You're making it difficult for me," declared the leader of the Black Shark, once again speaking up to confront Yi Chen. His gaze intensely fixed on Abbess Shuiyue, it was unclear whether he was trying to disgust Yi Chen on purpose or if he was truly earnest.

"Difficult? Then don't bother!"

Yi Chen stood up abruptly, a kick sending the table in front of him shattering to pieces. He sneered, turning to Black Shark with a cold voice, "Black Shark, I've tolerated you for a long time."

"Do you want to start a fight? I'm giving face to the King today and don't wish to lose my temper. If you want a fight, Blood Killing Tower will oblige. If you want a life-or-death struggle, I, Gui Zhongdao, am ready."

"Today, I want this woman, and I'll see who dares to stop me!"
