39 - Banquet 2

"Really? But I think Both Junior Brother Xia and this Yun Che are very busy. They most likely will go back to Elder Sikong" The man surnamed Murong said causing Lan Xuerou to frown.

"Is that so? Will the both of you be joining elder Sikong after you finish eating?" Lan Xuerou asked Xia Yuanba.

"MMN? Eh, no. Elder Sikong just told us to enjoy ourselves, although some people will likely start challenging others. He only warned us that some people may try to make excuses to challenge us as well" Xia Yuanba said after he swallowed all his food.

"Challenge, you? Although you are at the First of Nascent Profound, you are most likely one of the weakest here. The banquet is for geniuses, you only joined because of your connections" Yuanba's senior brother said with a snort.

Though what he said was completely true. There were some disciples that were at the Ninth and Tenth of Elementary Profound but the majority were at least Second of Nascent Profound or higher.

"Ehehehe, you're right. I just wanted to tag along and see the fights" Yuanba said as he scratched his head. It seemed he didn't even know that his senior brother was insulting him. Itachi only stared at the sight in front of him but didn't bother to do anything. The man surnamed Murong wasn't doing anything physical anyway, he wouldn't want to risk causing a ruckus because of an overly jealous fool courting for attention of a girl.

"And your friend, I don't even feel his cultivation. Is he a cripple?" The man laughed. Though this time Yuanba reacted differently. He didn't care about others making fun of him but he definitely hates it when those close to him gets made fun of.

"Senior Brother Murong! I request you to watch yourself, elder brother is more amazing than even you. Have you ever thought to think why you can't sense his cultivation!" Yuanba stated angerly.

'His veins flashed for a moment, it was very brief but I definitely felt it fluctuate!' Jasmine said causing smile very faintly.

'...So I didn't judge Yuanba's character wrong. He would definitely give it his all to protect the people he cares about.' Itachi thought

"Hah? More amazing than even myselft? Don't make me laugh!" The senior brother said loudly drawing some stares. Itachi saw this and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. Did this fool know how to remain low profile?

Itachi sighed lightly before he spoke out. He showed part of his cultivation and made it seem that he was in the Tenth of Nascent Profound.

"Enough" Itachi said, making sure to put pressure on Xia Yuanba's senior brother with profound energy.

"arg-" The man surnamed Murong was about to retort when he felt it harder to breath and that he felt like someone put a mountain on his shoulders.

"You are making a ruckus. I advise you to be quiet or else I will personally deal with you" Itachi whispered lightly enough for Xia Yuanba, Lan Xuerou, and the senior brother. After all three became silent did he retract his cultivation.

Thankfully most people weren't paying attention to them. Only a few but it was only those of the younger generation. All the elders of each sect were still busy talking amongst each other.

"Leave us" Itachi said coldly to Xia Yuanba's senior brother. He was the reason for attracting attention therefore Itachi didn't like him. Not to mention he openly mocked Xia Yuanba and Itachi in front of them.

"You!" the man said but was cut off by Itachi.

"I didn't want to reveal myself but you were just too petty, do you really want to anger me?" Itachi said to the man in a cold monotone voice.

"Do you know who my, Murong Ye's father is?" The man relented before Itachi himself replied back.

"And do you know who I am? You know nothing of me nor my backing. You are the top of this sect but are only a mere Eight of Nascent Profound practitioner at eighteen to nineteen years old. Where as I am only sixteen and am already stronger. What if I said I was one of the weakest from where I come from?" Itachi replied causing the man to go silent.

Hearing Itachi's words, Murong Ye finally shut his mouth as he thought of what Itachi said. 'This bastard... but what if he is actually telling the truth. He is already one realm higher than me but he is younger than me by at least three years... could he really be the least talented of his Sect?! But who could be his Backing?!' Murong Ye internally questioned as cold sweat began to form on his back.

"Y-You! How do I know you aren't lying!?" Murong Ye said as he bluffed. After all, there still isn't any proof that Itachi came from a top clan. What if he was just a rogue cultivator? He also had his connections, his cousin was an inner sect disciple and a late stage True Profound Realm practitioner while his father was also at the Middle stage of Earth Profound.

"Really" Itachi said as he once again unleashed his cultivation. Though this time, nearly everyone in the Banquet hall felt it causing all the eyes to look over Itachi's direction.

Fifth of True Profound Realm! That was the cultivation that Itachi was showing off! Everyone present sucked in a breath of air as Itachi was so young but already so strong. Their all thought what a prodigy like him was doing here.

"Tell me, do you really want me to deal with you myself?" Itachi said in a low but cold voice that was only heard by Yuanba, Lan Xuerou, and Murong Ye. Though those that were at least Earth Profound also heard him.

"I-I- I was just kidding" Murong Ye said a bit fearfully. He could only grit his teeth and apologize as he remembered Itachi's earlier words. He was the weakest of his Sect! Was he perhaps from one of the 7 great sects?

Meanwhile, as everyone was looking at the scene that was caused by Itachi, there was one person who was laughing to himself.

It was Qin Wuyou.

'Hahahaha! Old Lie! To think you have such a dragon among men as your Grandson!' He thought.
