Chapter 86: Ace Decisive Battle
With over a hundred attendees, the banquet was held outdoors.
Workers from the Righteous Path Alliance swiftly and skillfully prepared the venue. Cooks divided into two groups to prepare temple cuisine and banquet dishes, while attendants brought ample wine to fill the tables.
After all preparations were complete, the Alliance Leader and other high-ranking officials of the Righteous Alliance attended.
“Hmm, hmm. The proud warriors of the Righteous Alliance, who uphold the banner of the righteous faction…”
“The Way has the sword, and the sword has the Way…”
“The Buddha taught us: ‘Do not kill living beings, do not harm living beings.’ Therefore, in our cultivation of martial arts…” (武) in our martial training…”
The tedious exhortations from the Alliance Leader, the Wudang Sect Head, and the Shaolin Abbot began, lasting a considerable time before ending.
Then, the envoys who had been seated together immediately rose and headed toward the young warriors of the Zhengdeng Alliance.
Probably to meet familiar faces or forge new connections.
After a while, only the senior members of the Zhengdomaeng, North Palace Lord Baek, and I remained at the head table.
Why did I stay?
Well, well.
Because the food here looked the most delicious.
Especially the seasoned vegetables, said to be made by the master chef of the Shaolin Temple’s kitchen, truly elicited admiration.
‘Wow, this is insane…’
Who knew plants grown in mere soil could produce such a sophisticated flavor?
