Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!-Chapter 238 The Revenge is On!
"I am sorry for the delay. I was stuck somewhere and had to delay a little. I hope it was not inconvenient for anyone."
"Not at all, we are happy that we got the time to prepare for your 'welcome'." Lin Dan waved his hands, dismissing Noah's words with a laugh before suggesting, "Shall we move towards the guest hall? Everyone is waiting for you both there."
"Lead the way then." Noah looked at Xin Yan before nodding in agreement while also covering the whole sect with his soul sense easily.
Lin Dan, along with the elders, happily led the two of them inside. Elysia, hidden from everyone else, silently followed behind, looking at everything along her way.
*Clank*
Entering through the majestic gates of the huge hall, Noah found himself in a beautifully decorated hall. Including the ornamented chairs, handcrafted walls, and the expensive furniture made from beasts, everything was extraordinary, but what caught Noah's eyes the most was the beautiful ceiling.
"This hall was specially made to attend gatherings under the open beauty of the stars and moon." Seeing Noah glancing at the transparent ceiling, Lin Dan explained enthusiastically. Just as he said, everyone could see the beautiful sights of the sun rays disappearing and night descending clearly.
Xin Yan and Noah saw many familiar faces in the room. The elders and leaders of the three families from the Primal Dawn City were present in the room. There were also some of the people they did not recognize in the room.
They stood among with other elders in the room! Their eyes scanned him as he was scanning them. Since Noah had his aura restrained, no one could tell what realm he was in. They did not bother to check, as who would believe that someone broke through a realm in just an hour or two and became proficient enough to hide his aura?
"Here, please take your seats." Lin Dan guided Noah and Xin Yan to their seats before he took his own seat along with the elders.
At his signal, the servants brought in several dishes and drinks to their tables. Several types of dishes were placed on the table as they
Seeing the drinks and food not laced with any kind of drug, Noah understood that it was not the main part of the plan.
'Maybe they want to see your face using this as an excuse to get us to remove our masks.' Noah thought as he looked at the smiling look on Lin Dan's face. Noah picked up the food with his chopsticks and brought it to his face.
Everyone followed his hands and waited for what was supposed to happen next, but to their disappointment, the piece of meat phased through the mask, as if it was sucked in by something.
Xin Yan also saw this scene and took a bite without hesitation. She was worried about being poisoned, but seeing Noah not reacting to anything, she followed his actions.
Lin Feng, who was sitting beside Lin Dan and Xiao Mei, seemed a little uncomfortable. Since everyone was focused on Noah, they failed to see his expression, but Noah, who was looking at the whole hall with his soul sense, noticed this change.
'You seem troubled; what happened?' he sent him a thought transmission. Hearing Noah's voice, Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied.
'My father is planning an ambush; he thinks there was a Golden Blossom Lotus in one of your rewards, and he wants to get it by killing you. There is an incense stick in the room that will put both of you to sleep; we have taken an antidote.'
'Calm down, do you think my eyes did not tell me about what was about to happen here?' Noah sounded confident, which made Lin Feng's panic disappear. He cursed himself for not thinking of this before, just like how he did not think of how he should have contacted the boy himself using the thought transmission.
"I wonder where the young master came from; we have never heard of someone as talented as you in this area or even the kingdom."
"I am just a wandering cultivator; I have yet to join a force. Me and my friend here have been on our journey for a couple of years."
Noah calmly continued eating while Lin Dan started engaging in talking to buy time for the incense stick to work. He noticed the incense stick in the corner of the room and understood the reason why they wanted to take their masks off.
'There is poison in the air. Activate the filtering function of the mask.' Just to make sure, Noah sent Xin Yan a message while his own was already active. Since he had barely scraped the surface of the knowledge Elysia gave him, Noah was still not aware of most of these things.
He did another thorough scan to see if there was something he had missed.
'So they are only relying on the seals and poisons. Well, there are also numbers.' Noah mused himself as he looked around the room.

Dinner almost came to an end, but seeing the two of them still eating calmly, everyone in the room started sweating.
Lin Dan looked at one of the other elders and signaled him with his eyes. At his signal, the elder activated the array covering the whole sect silently. Noah, who was about to eat another piece of meat, suddenly stopped his actions.
"Sigh~" placing the meat and chopsticks back on the table, Noah sighed out loud, puzzling everyone. Xin Yan grinned, seemingly aware that the time to act had arrived. Her hands trembled to draw blood from the people she wanted to grill alive.
"What seems to be the problem, young master?" Lin Dan asked with a tense look on his face. He did not think that the boy would notice something, but he was on guard to not let something bad happen.
"Why? We were having dinner peacefully; you just have to draw the time of your death closer…" Noah stood up as he spoke those words. Seeing him standing up, everyone, including Xin Yan, stood up.
"What are you-"
"Do it." Before he could say anything to act or defend himself, Noah interrupted him.
*Stab!*
*Shhaaa!* Lin Dan turned around to see the most heartbreaking scene in his life.
