Chapter 3486: This Karmic Tie Cannot Be Undone
The Ancient Lotus Immortal Banquet began. The original seats slowly rose, dividing into upper and lower layers.
The disciples brought by the elders sat on the lower layer, while the elders themselves sat on the upper layer.
The two layers were separated by about ten meters, like two different worlds, thus also separating their status.
However, the Ancient Lotus Holy Land's rules weren't set in stone. For example, Gu Hanjing, due to her special status, was also on the upper layer, on par with the other elders.
Lin Moyu and Little Mei got on the Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden's lotus flower. The lotus flower flew to a seat on the upper layer, which turned out to be the seat of honor.
Lin Moyu transmitted his voice to ask, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
The Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden said, "This is the Holy Lord's arrangement. The ancestor said to treat you as they would treat her, so you should sit in the seat of honor."
"Alright then." Lin Moyu didn't refuse further and directly sat down.
This action stunned everyone present.
The seat of honor should be the Ancient Lotus Holy Lord's position, but now Lin Moyu was sitting there. Where would the Holy Lord sit?
"Could there be a mistake? I remember that was the seat of honor."
"Has the seating arrangement changed this time? Has the seat of honor changed?"
"It definitely hasn't changed. Haven't you noticed that lotus flower is the same?"
"Could it be that the Immortal Lotus Holy Maiden made a mistake? If so, that's possible."
"Who exactly is this little fellow? Merely at the fifth level of Dao Venerable, yet he can sit in the seat of honor."
"Him sitting in the seat of honor is one thing, but the person beside him is even more interesting. Only at the God King realm."
The elders discussed among themselves, not understanding why Lin Moyu and Little Mei could sit on the upper layer.
Although they didn't understand, everyone still took their seats according to the Ancient Lotus Holy Land's arrangement.
Lin Moyu felt many gazes falling on him, including one filled with hatred from the Heavenly Phantom Holy Son.
Lin Moyu felt nothing about this. Such a person could be destroyed with a flick of his finger.
After everyone was seated, several elders from the Ancient Lotus Holy Land arrived riding lotus flowers.
"There's going to be a good show!"
"I wonder how the Ancient Lotus Holy Lord will react when she sees her seat occupied."
Many people had already revealed expressions of anticipation for a good show.
After the elders of the Ancient Lotus Holy Land arrived, they all turned and first bowed to Lin Moyu, "Greetings, Mr. Lin!"
Lin Moyu didn't stand up, but casually said, "Elders, there's no need to be so formal. Please be at ease."
The Ancient Lotus Holy Lord walked to Lin Moyu's left side and sat down gracefully, not mentioning the seating issue at all throughout.
From their unified address of "Mr. Lin" to not questioning the seating arrangement, clever people already knew that Lin Moyu sitting here was arranged by the Ancient Lotus Holy Lord.
At this moment, Elder Dream Landscape's gaze towards Lin Moyu changed.
He seemed to start considering whether Lin Moyu's words were true, whether their chosen heir really wasn't suitable.
He told this matter to the other two elders of the Ten Thousand Scenes Holy Land, but didn't get a response.
Choosing a new heir was a major matter. It wouldn't be changed just because of one person's words.
The Ancient Lotus Holy Lord spoke in a clear voice, "Everyone must be wondering why this Ancient Lotus Immortal Banquet, which is held once every ten thousand years, has been brought forward by a thousand years this time."
"It's because something very important happened in our Ancient Lotus Holy Land. A matter that has troubled our Ancient Lotus Holy Land for countless years has been resolved."
Those present had all heard more or less about a matter that had troubled the Ancient Lotus Holy Land for countless years. They didn't expect it to have been resolved.
Dongfang Wuding's eyes turned slightly, "May I ask the Holy Lord, was your Holy Land's trouble resolved by Mr. Lin?"
The Ancient Lotus Holy Lord said, "That's correct. It was resolved by Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin is our benefactor. We have no way to repay this debt of gratitude."
People speculated about what kind of favor could be so great as to reach this extent.
For even the Ancient Lotus Holy Lord to say they had no way to repay, didn't that mean the entire Ancient Lotus Holy Land would remember Lin Moyu's kindness?
From now on, the Ancient Lotus Holy Land would be Lin Moyu's backing.
The Ancient Lotus Holy Lord waved her hand, and several lotus-shaped wine cups flew out from the central table, coming to her and several Ancient Lotus Holy Land elders, as well as one to Lin Moyu.
The cups were filled with fine wine. As soon as they left the formation, the wine's fragrance spread, filling this space.
The elders couldn't resist the temptation and swallowed their saliva, saying in low voices, "It's the Immortal Lotus Intoxication, the best wine of the human race."
"Indeed, it's the best wine. In the past, the Ancient Lotus Immortal Banquet didn't always have Immortal Lotus Intoxication."
"It seems the Ancient Lotus Holy Land has really gone all out this time. I see they've prepared quite a lot of Immortal Lotus Intoxication. We can have a good taste later."
The Ancient Lotus Holy Lord raised her wine cup, "My fellow elders and I, with this wine, express our gratitude to Mr. Lin."
Lin Moyu smiled and stood up, "It was a small matter. The elders are too kind."
As the Ancient Lotus Holy Lord drank her wine in one gulp, Lin Moyu did the same.
Although he accepted this cup of wine, Lin Moyu was wryly smiling in his heart, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come to this Ancient Lotus Immortal Banquet. Now the karmic tie with the Ancient Lotus Holy Land can't be undone."
"However, this wine is indeed excellent, the best I've ever drunk. It's a pity there's so little. It would be good if I could take some home."
"I should ask about the recipe later, see if I can brew it myself."
The Ancient Lotus Holy Land couldn't be killed, and this karmic tie was getting deeper and deeper. Lin Moyu was also helpless.
But he was also straightforward. Since the karmic tie couldn't be undone, he wasn't afraid of it getting deeper. He should first take all the advantages he could.
Everyone envied Lin Moyu, only Little Mei understood Lin Moyu's thoughts, secretly amused on the side.
At this moment, Dongfang Wuding suddenly spoke, "Ancient Lotus Holy Lord, could you give this old man a cup of wine too? This old man also has something to thank Mr. Lin for."
The Ancient Lotus Holy Lord's eyes flickered, "Certainly, Elder Wuding, please help yourself."
Elder Wuding had a thought, and several cups of Immortal Lotus Intoxication flew out.
Four cups were for himself and the other three elders of the Dongfang family, while one cup came to Lin Moyu's hand.
Elder Wuding raised his wine cup and bowed to Lin Moyu, "Our Dongfang family also had a puzzle that had troubled us for countless years. Thanks to Mr. Lin's help, the puzzle was solved. Dongfang Wuding and the other elders of the Dongfang family thank Mr. Lin."
"In the future, if Mr. Lin has any need, just call out, and the Dongfang family will certainly do our utmost, without hesitation."
"Elder Wuding is too kind." Lin Moyu said as he drank the wine, accepting Dongfang Wuding's thanks.
In one move, two formidable powers were standing behind Lin Moyu. After this Immortal Banquet, Lin Moyu's name would certainly resound throughout the entire Southern Continent. Anyone wanting to provoke Lin Moyu would have to think twice.
After the Ancient Lotus Holy Lord and Dongfang Wuding thanked Lin Moyu in turn, the Immortal Banquet didn't officially begin.
The Ancient Lotus Holy Lord said, "Please, everyone, wait a moment longer. There are still a few honored guests who haven't arrived."
People were puzzled. The top elders of the Southern Continent were all here. Who else could be coming?
They couldn't think of anyone, and someone asked, "Who else hasn't arrived?"
The Ancient Lotus Holy Lord said, "They should be here soon. Please wait a moment longer."
The elders naturally had this patience. After waiting for two minutes, a massive aura came from the distance.
A mass of mist appeared in the distance, covering the sky and earth, coming with the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping.
The person hadn't arrived, but their voice came first, "Congratulations on your return, fellow Daoist. This Emperor has come specially to drink a cup of wine!"
