CHAPTER 866: CHAPTER 883: THE CRISIS ARRIVES

"What’s happening?" After witnessing this scene, everyone present was stunned, each person widening their eyes, feeling incredibly unbelievable. Gao Tianshou, unbelievably, was kneeling before that elderly man named Duan Lingfeng.

Everyone knows what kind of person Gao Tianshou is; he is the head of the top five wealthy families in Longdu of Dragon Country.

A terrifying bigwig managing trillions in assets, now actually kneeling on one knee before this elder named Duan Lingfeng.

Everyone held their breath, feeling as though their hearts were about to jump out of their chests, feeling as if they were dreaming. Even a person like Gao Tianshou has to kneel before him, then the background of Duan Lingfeng must be unimaginably terrifying, something people dared not to imagine.

Gao Tianshou revealed a look of respect in his eyes and loudly said, "Young man Gao Tianshou, pay respects to the Old War God!"

"Old War God!" Upon hearing these three words, everyone was shocked, and instantly the entire venue seemingly exploded like a cauldron, becoming frenzied. Everyone widened their eyes in surprise, looking at Duan Lingfeng; Gao Tianshou actually called him Old War God!

Everyone present knew clearly that the term "Old War God" represents a god, the Guardian of Dragon Country, the previous War God.

Back decades ago, when Dragon Country fell into the most difficult times, it was the generation of the Old War God who defended Dragon Country.

Indeed! Duan Lingfeng is the name of the Old War God, and the Old War God’s contributions to Dragon Country only surpass those of Ye Feng and wouldn’t be less. The identity, status, and reputation of the Old War God, whether in Dragon Country’s war zones or within the Martial Artist community, rank at the very top, and today, Lin Zhen’s hosting merely a birthday banquet, the Old War God unexpectedly personally came here.

Everyone felt as if they were dreaming, the Old War God, such a legendary figure, they were fortunate enough to see in their lifetime, how could they not be shocked, how could they not be excited.

And the Old War God is the founder of the Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall of Dragon Country, with disciples spread across the entire Dragon Country.

There would be no doubt in the identity of the Old War God, because a big figure like Gao Tianshou, in front of the Old War God, refers to himself humbly as a young man; naturally, the Old War God’s identity would not be a fake.

The Old War God, a person who has lived near to one hundred thirty years, Gao Tianshou, although not young himself, indeed appears as a child before the Old War God, so Gao Tianshou calling himself a young man is not strange.

Lin Zhen felt shocked and excited, trembling all over, knowing that today is his birthday banquet, the Old War God pointedly came here and even presented a gift, what great honor that is, enough to boast and be proud his entire life.

Lin Zhen directly knelt on one knee before the Old War God, respectfully addressing, "Young Lin Zhen, pay respects to the Old War God."

The Old War God chuckled and smiled, "No need for formalities everyone, please stand up, relax a bit, just treat me as an ordinary guest coming to attend the birthday banquet, there is no need to be so restrained."

The Old War God’s words were very gentle, making people feel a kind of reassurance and comfort upon hearing, quickly easing one’s inner pressure, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Zhen promptly led the Old War God to the main seat: "Please sit, Old War God."

The Old War God nodded, then sat down, smilingly looking at Lin Zhen and said, "Lin Zhen, it’s really not polite of me to come uninvited here, I hope it doesn’t seem abrupt."

Lin Zhen quickly shook his head in a surprised and flattered manner: "Not at all, not at all, the honor of the Old War God being able to grace us with his presence is a blessing from Lin Zhen, the Lin Family reaped from several generations, how could we feel it’s abruptness, the Old War God overstates."

Afterward, Lin Zhen and others all curiously watched the Old War God; for them, regarding the Old War God, not to mention Lin Zhen, even Gao Tianshou is merely a small figure, yet he came here, everyone was curious.

The Old War God naturally saw the confusion in everyone’s hearts and explained, "I previously promised Ye Feng to help him find something; I have found it now and brought it to him, also having things to talk to him about, so I came, and then heard you were hosting a birthday banquet, it seemed impolite to come empty-handed, so I brought some things, hoping you wouldn’t mind."

"Not at all!" Lin Zhen quickly shook his head, knowing that it was two thousand-year-old Blood Ganodermas, something that can extend life and strengthen the body, a great thing. If Lin Zhen consumes it, as long as there are no surprises, living to a hundred would be challenging, so how could Lin Zhen feel mind?

For ordinary people, Blood Ganoderma is indeed precious, but for Legendary-level powerhouses, it has no effect because living to be one hundred thirty is common for them, and their physique far exceeds common people.

Therefore, the effects of Blood Ganoderma to extend life and strengthen the body are nearly ineffective for them.

"Alright, everyone, carry on as usual, Ye Feng should be coming out soon, I’ll just wait for him here!" the Old War God said.

Everyone nodded, the Old War God was very gentle with people, without any airs, constantly conversing with Lin Zhen, Gao Tianshou, and others, enthusiastically engaging, very delightful, quickly helping everyone gradually recover from the previous shock.

The birthday banquet proceeded as usual, right at this moment, at the Lin Family’s entrance, a middle-aged man slowly approached.

That middle-aged man, dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, exuding intense hostility between his brows, eyes sharp like carrying an unparalleled blade, invisibly emanating a powerful pressure.

The man approached step by step, with every step, the surrounding space would slightly distort.

And behind the man followed an elderly person. If Ye Feng, Lin Zhen, or Lin Shiyu were here, they would easily recognize that elder; it was none other than the last surviving mid-Legendary Martial Artist of the Huangfu family who previously came to the Lin Family to take Lin Shiyu.

At this moment, the middle-aged man looked at the mid-Legendary Martial Artist and said: "Gui, is this the Lin Family?"

"Family Head, it should indeed be here, the previous home of the Lin Family was destroyed, but they own many properties. I have already investigated and determined that the Lin Family has indeed relocated here," replied the elder named Gui with a look of respect in his eyes.
