Chapter 12538
After all, this is an extraordinary figure who can directly suppress the Emperor Saint!
Upon finally seeing Lin Yi appear, the most excited person in the entire room was none other than Fang Taichu himself.
Everything had already been arranged. As long as Lin Yi appeared, his plan for today would be 90% successful.
"Your presence at the Food Festival is an honor to our Yunding Mountain Villa, and we are deeply fortunate!"
Fang Taichu said with a fawning expression, "Senior, please take a seat!"
Lin Yi replied calmly, "Thank you for your trouble."
No one was surprised or found it rude. As a super master of the Four-Zhang Dharma Form, he was entitled to such a high level of prestige.
As for Fang Taichu, he became increasingly respectful and attentive on the surface, but inwardly he was sneering.
The recipe for crafting advanced divine equipment is indeed incredibly tempting!
He knew very well that if he hadn't used this level of bait, the person who came today would likely have been the End Emperor again, and he wouldn't have been able to catch this big fish at all.
"With all our distinguished guests present, I hereby declare the Food Festival officially open!"
At Fang Taichu's command, over a hundred dishes of Daoist delicacies were served simultaneously.
Everyone present gasped in shock.
Although everyone present was a seasoned traveler, such a spectacular scene was unprecedented.
Even in previous food festivals, there have never been so many traditional delicacies!
Surprised and delighted, the group of powerful family tycoons exchanged bewildered glances.
Fang Taichu really went all out this time!
However, upon further reflection, they realized that they had all benefited from Lin Yi's presence. If this super expert hadn't personally attended the Food Festival, Fang Taichu wouldn't have gone to such lengths, selling everything he owned without considering the cost.
"Please, seniors! Please, everyone!"
Instead of giving a passionate toast as usual, Fang Taichu immediately announced the start of the banquet.
Although everyone was surprised, they couldn't have asked for this.
However, just a quarter of an hour later, everyone's expressions began to change.
Someone suddenly exclaimed, "Why is my appearance deteriorating?"
He was originally a master of the six-zhang Dharma form, but now he was horrified to find that he could not even keep the seven-zhang Dharma form, let alone the six-zhang Dharma form.
It was still rapidly flowing away even as it was being spoken.
"What's going on? Mine is declining too?"
His reminder immediately elicited gasps of surprise.
Every single one of the prominent family leaders present looked terrified.
The better ones among them only experienced a decline of one zhang in their Dharma form, while those who were a little unlucky experienced a decline of at least ten zhang!
Some people even went from a five-zhang (approximately 16.6 meters) Dharma form to a hundred-zhang (approximately 33.3 meters) Dharma form.
He fainted on the spot.
The others were also as if they had lost their parents.
At their level, they deeply understand that the path of cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind.
Once a setback occurs, the momentum is often irreversible, and it becomes extremely difficult to recover.
"Wait a minute! There's something wrong with these street food delicacies!"
Finally someone reacted.
In an instant, all eyes in the room focused on Fang Taichu.
The crowd was filled with shock and anger: "Fang Taichu! What exactly did you feed us?! You must give us an explanation today!"
Fang Taichu, however, remained unhurried and glanced at Lin Yi.
Seeing that Lin Yi's expression was also extremely ugly, and at the same time feeling the rapidly surging Dharma power within his own body, he finally felt relieved.
"You so-called aristocratic bigwigs are far too slow to realize the problem now."
Fang Taichu said jokingly, "You all ate so many of my Great Dao delicacies before, didn't you all enjoy them quite a bit?"
"We're all adults. There's no such thing as a free lunch. After enjoying so many benefits, isn't it reasonable to pay the price now?"
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
A middle-aged man stood up angrily: "Fang Taichu, are you deliberately plotting such dirty tricks to make an enemy of the entire Tian County?"
Do you have the guts?
"Or do you have the ability?"
The other powerful families echoed the call, each with a murderous glint in their eyes.
They represent the entire Tianjun County here, and that statement is by no means an exaggeration.
In everyone's perception, Fang Taichu's greatest skill is mastering the art of food, which he uses to win people's hearts. As for his actual strength, it is actually quite ordinary.
It can only have a Dharma form of ten zhang at most!
With such limited strength, how can he possibly contend with the entire Tianjun County?
Fang Taichu looked at everyone as if they were idiots: "You are all incredibly stupid, do you think I'm as stupid as you? If I wasn't absolutely certain, would I easily reveal my trump card?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Fang Taichu said quietly, "To tell you the truth, after today, Cloud Peak Manor will cease to exist. I, like all of you here, will become a victim of the invasion of evil spirits."
"However, there is one small difference between me and you all."
“You will all die here today, but I will continue to live.”
Only then did everyone realize that there was an extremely dangerous aura emanating from beneath them.
Someone couldn't help but exclaim in shock: "Like heaven and earth?"
The crowd grew increasingly horrified.
The so-called "living as long as heaven and earth" is a specially made formation.
Unlike other ordinary formations, this formation uses divine fragments as its base, and its core effect is to detonate the divine fragments.
Given the energy density of the divine fragments, their destructive power upon detonation is unimaginable.
The key point is that this is not just one or two fragments of godhood.
The array beneath their feet must contain at least fifty bombs. Once it's detonated, triggering a chain reaction, the scene is terrifying to even imagine.
At that time, Cloud Peak Manor, along with all of them, will cease to exist.
Some people realized what was happening and tried to escape.
Unfortunately, a closed barrier had already been set up around it, making it impossible to break through in a short period of time.
However, they still had one last straw to grasp.
All the powerful figures from the aristocratic families turned to look at Lin Yi.
"Senior! We still have our senior! With your meager strength, Fang Taichu, you'll never escape our grasp!"
Putting everything else aside, having witnessed the scene of the track descending earlier, they still had immense confidence in Lin Yi's strength.
Fang Taichu could outmaneuver them, but he could never outmaneuver Lin Yi!
Lin Yi remained indifferent.
Upon seeing this, Fang Taichu burst into laughter: "A bunch of brainless idiots! Did I specially arrange this food festival today because I thought it was targeting you?"
"Being self-righteous is the biggest flaw of you aristocratic bigwigs."
"In my eyes, you are nothing but side items. The four-zhang-tall Dharma Avatar master before you is my true target!"
"His condition is much worse than yours!"
As he spoke, Fang Taichu made no attempt to conceal his power and directly unleashed his surging Dharma form.
Four feet of Dharma!
The entire audience was shocked.
Everyone was doused with a bucket of ice water.
Who would have thought that this guy could break through to the four-zhang Dharma Form so easily!
