The food and wine for the banquet were of the highest quality.
All arrangements were top-tier.
Moreover, someone as aloof as Young Master Tuoba seemed to highly value this banquet.
Mo Hua witnessed this and pondered in curiosity:
"This Young Master Tuoba... who is he actually hosting?"
Mo Hua’s eyes flickered as he held his breath and silently observed from the side.
Exquisite alcohol and food, various spirit beast delicacies, were arranged.
About an hour later, someone arrived at the door.
A short and pudgy Golden Core cultivator and a tall and thin Foundation Establishment cultivator entered, bowing to Young Master Tuoba sitting at the top.
The pudgy Gold Core bowed, "Greetings, Young Master Tuoba."
Young Master Tuoba nodded.
The tall and thin Foundation Establishment cultivator, with a grim and resolute expression, his eyes holding a touch of madness, also bowed to Young Master Tuoba but said nothing.
Young Master Tuoba glanced at him, saying nothing either.
However, Mo Hua, standing beside him, was stunned.
This tall and thin Foundation Establishment cultivator looked oddly familiar; he seemed... to have seen him somewhere?
Who is he?
Mo Hua frowned, striving to recall, searching for clues from fragmented, faded memories.
Suddenly, his heart trembled, and he remembered.
"He is..."
Li San?!
Back then, when going against the Demon Sect at the Qian Learning State Boundary, the one bewitched by Mo Hua with the Thunder Magnetic Order and using the name of "Elder You" to exchange for the Second Grade Reverse Spirit Formation Map from the Demon Sect, and personally delivered it, the elite disciple of the Demon Sect... Li San.
"But... how could it be Li San?!"
Mo Hua thought in bewilderment, unable to unravel the mystery.
"Wasn’t Li San captured and locked in the Taoist Prison? How did he get out?"
"Moreover, how could he travel thousands of miles from the Qian Learning State Boundary to this Great Wilderness Territory?"
"And, who is the pudgy Golden Core Elder beside him..."
Throwing a glance at the Golden Core Elder, Mo Hua confirmed that he had indeed never met him.
Yet a vague sense of familiarity lingered within him.
It was as if this person had intersected with him repeatedly before.
This person... who could he be?
Mo Hua frowned and pondered for a moment, then an odd name popped into his mind.
Mo Hua’s heart skipped.
Could it possibly be...
Elder You?
The Elder You who was adept and cunning within the Demon Sect at the Qian Learning State Boundary?
The Elder You who leveraged the Demon Sect Token’s messengers to hire him for Thunder Magnetism trading?
The one who...
Still owes him a million and eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones... Elder You?
