Volume 1: The Beauty That Causes Trouble Chapter 64: A Battle That Shocked the City (I)

Yun Che and Xia Yuanba just walked into the main hall and happened to meet Murong Ye. He squinted his eyes and said bluntly: "What are you two doing here? Do you know what kind of banquet this is? Get out!"

"Elder Sikong allowed us to come." Xia Yuanba said with anger.

"Elder Sikong? Let you?" Murong Ye laughed disdainfully: "Let you come to embarrass yourself? This is not an ordinary banquet. There will definitely be a battle with disciples from various sects in a while. What are you two worthless people doing here? Humph, forget it, since Elder Sikong asked you to come, then you go in, and be honest later. If you embarrass our Xinyue Xuanfu, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Following behind Lan Xueruo for an afternoon, Lan Xueruo kept smiling and speaking softly, but never looked at him straight in the eye. This made him feel aggrieved and unhappy, and now that he met Yun Che and Xia Yuanba, he just vented it.

Even if Xia Yuanba had a good temper, he would be furious when he was suddenly scolded for no reason. Yun Che pulled his arm and said calmly: "Let's go in."

After entering the main hall, they saw Sikong Han waving at them, and then asked them to sit in the arranged seats. Their seats were in the last row, and they were the least noticeable... However, although the position was not noticeable, Xia Yuanba's size was there, and it was really hard not to attract attention.

"Yun Che, Yuanba, if there is a fight later, you should watch carefully. It would be best if you can learn something. You two have been in Xuanfu for a short time, and no one should challenge you. Just watch quietly from the back." Sikong Han reminded.

"Got it, Elder Sikong." Xia Yuanba nodded, and then sat down obediently.

Yun Che also nodded slowly. He glanced around and found that there were about thirty Xuanfu disciples present. If nothing unexpected happened, these should be the most elite disciples in Xuanfu. These thirty or so were picked out of the three thousand disciples in Xuanfu. Each of them was undoubtedly one in a hundred. Soon, Yun Che saw Lan Xueruo. She was sitting in the middle of the first row of the disciples' seats. This position did not surprise Yun Che at all. An eighteen-year-old girl at the eighth level of the Entry Profound Realm was considered a top-notch talent even in the upper-middle sects.

Yun Che also attracted the attention of many Xuanfu disciples. Those who could attend this banquet were all top-level disciples. They were very competitive and familiar with each other. Xia Yuanba's arrival surprised them... Because Xia Yuanba's profound strength was only the sixth level of the Initial Profound Realm, which was at the lower end of the Xuanfu. He was not suitable to come here at all. Yun Che, who came with him, was a complete stranger.

"Eh? Are you the new junior brother? I don't think I've seen you before?" Sitting in the front row of Yun Che, a girl in a fiery red dress turned around and asked with curious eyes.

"Hello, senior sister, my name is Yun Che, and I just entered Xuanzhi Mansion today." Yun Che nodded slightly, revealing a very lethal smile on his face.

The girl felt as if she was electrocuted, and her cheeks were slightly red. Then she exclaimed: "Wow! He looks so young, but he has already entered the Xuan realm! No wonder he was allowed to attend this banquet on the first day of coming to Xuanzhi Mansion."

"That's right, he is my brother-in-law, how can he not be amazing!" Xia Yuanba said with a proud face, as if he was happier to hear others praise Yun Che than to praise himself.

"Ah? Brother-in-law? You are already... married?" The girl opened her pink lips, and there was a trace of obvious regret in her eyes.

Yun Che resisted the urge to strangle Xia Yuanba to death, and said calmly: "Yes. Senior sister is so beautiful, she must have been married, right?"

"I won't get married so early. By the way, my name is Ye Hongling, from the first class of Xuanzhi Mansion, seventeen years old. If you have any problems in the future, I will protect you!" The girl said very loyally.

"...Thank you, senior sister."

Knowing that he might make a mistake, Xia Yuanba lowered his head deeply and did not dare to talk to Yun Che for a long time.

At this time, the protagonist of this banquet, Qin Wuyou, the new master of Xinyue Xuan Mansion, finally arrived. Qin Wuyou looked about sixty years old, with a calm and peaceful face, clear and wise eyes, and a transcendent aura. Qin Wuyou was originally one of the elders of Cangfeng Xuan Mansion in the imperial city. Now he was specially appointed to Xinyue City as the master of the mansion, and his strength is unfathomable.

Qin Wuyou had arrived at Xinyue Xuan Mansion a month ago, but the new banquet was only officially held today. In just one month, he had already impressed all the elders and disciples and was widely respected. After he took the chair, the people from the major sects followed suit as if they had discussed it.

"Hahahaha, Tie Zhancang from the Iron Spear Sect, and his son Hengjun, have come to congratulate the new head of the Qin Palace."

With a hearty laugh, a middle-aged man strode in with seven disciples.

"This man is the current head of the Iron Spear Sect." Xia Yuanba said in Yun Che's ear: "The man following behind him is his youngest son Tie Hengjun. Although he is very young, he has amazing talent. It is rumored that if nothing unexpected happens, he will be the first choice for the next head of the Iron Spear Sect in the future."

"Head of the Qin Palace, how are you? I met him by chance half a month ago and was deeply impressed by his demeanor. Today, I specially brought my son here... It's just a small gift, not a respect."

Qin Wuyou personally got down from his seat to greet him and took the gift: "Master Tiemen is so polite. You have already given me a great honor by coming here in person. Why bring a gift? Your son is extremely talented and has an extraordinary demeanor. He will definitely be a dragon among men in the future. He may even be far better than you as a father. Hahahaha... Come on, please take a seat."

"Yuanba, this situation seems to be too harmonious. There is no sign of tit-for-tat at all." Yun Che said, tapping his chin.

"Uh... this, the reputation of the people of Tieqiangmen has always been very good. Although their overall strength is better than our Xuanfu, their relationship with Xuanfu is still pretty good. But the others..."

As Xia Yuanba was talking, the people of Yunyang Sect also arrived.

"Yan Zizai, the chief elder of Yunyang Sect, is here to congratulate Master Qin on his new appointment."

After Yunyang Sect, people from Xuanxin Sect, Qisha Sword Pavilion, and Fengyun Xuanfu also arrived one after another. Each sect brought seven or eight disciples, and Qin Wuyou also got down from his seat to greet them in person. The Burning Heaven Sect arrived only when the banquet was about to start.

"The sixth elder of the Burning Heaven Sect, Fen Hanyan, congratulates the new Lord Qin on his appointment."

The Burning Heaven Sect... to be more precise, the Burning Heaven Sect is located at the outer gate of Xinyue City. The leader is an old man in a red robe, with red flames all over his robe. When he stepped into the main hall, everyone clearly felt a warm breeze on their faces.

After the Burning Heaven Sect's outer gate, the Xiao Sect's branch sect arrived last. And the leader was a young man who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old! Behind him, there was only a middle-aged man in his early forties and six young disciples under the age of twenty.

"Junior Xiao Sect Xiao Luocheng, meet Lord Qin." After entering the main hall, the young man bowed to Qin Wuyou as a junior, with a calm and gentle demeanor, neither humble nor arrogant... But, as a junior coming to congratulate, and the object is the Lord of the Imperial Xuan Mansion, neither humble nor arrogant is already a kind of pride.

"It's Xiao Luocheng!!" Xia Yuanba suddenly called out, and he immediately said in Yun Che's ear: "I didn't expect him to come! I heard his name several times on the first day I came to Xinyue City. He is the same age as my brother-in-law this year, only sixteen years old, but he is already the young master of the Xiao Sect branch, and is recognized as the best of the younger generation in Xinyue City!"

"The best?" Yun Che immediately looked at Xiao Luocheng a few more times. He did look very young, but his demeanor was very mature, and his eyebrows and eyes were filled with undisguised dignity and pride. And the eyes of those who looked at him were also full of strangeness... some were amazed, some were appreciative, some were envious, and some were ashamed of themselves.

"Yes, in terms of talent, he is undoubtedly the best! He is only sixteen years old, but he is already at the tenth level of the Nascent Profound Realm! I heard that he is not far from breaking through the True Profound Realm. Brother-in-law, do you believe it?"

Sixteen years old... Tenth level of the Nascent Profound Realm! ?

Yun Che's face was also moved. He subconsciously looked at Lan Xueruo and found that her pretty face was indeed covered with a deep solemnity.

"Haha, Xiao Luocheng? This name is well-known to me. I didn't expect that I could meet the first person of the younger generation of Xinyue City today. Didn't your father come?" Qin Wuyou said with a smile.

"Master Qin, you are too kind. Although my father wanted to personally congratulate Master Qin on his new appointment, he was ill and couldn't come. I will replace him. Please don't be offended, Master Qin." Xiao Luocheng smiled and said gently.

Qin Wuyou is the head of Xinyue Xuanfu. His new appointment banquet should also be attended by the heads of major sects to show enough respect. At the very least, it should be a chief elder. Among the seven major sects, the Iron Spear Sect, the Seven Killing Sword Pavilion, and the Fengyun Xuanfu were attended by the sect masters themselves, while the Xuanxin Sect and the Yunyang Sect were the chief elders. Although the outer sect of the Burning Heaven Sect was arrogant, it at least had a sixth elder.

And this Xiao Clan's outer sect is led by a junior!

Although Xiao Luocheng was polite, anyone who was not stupid or blind could see that this was clearly a naked contempt.

"Hahaha," Qin Wuyou laughed heartily, as if he didn't care at all: "What are you talking about, Young Sect Master Xiao? I have heard about the young sect master's style for many days. I can see him today. It is also a wish that has come true. I am too happy. All the distinguished guests of the Xiao Clan, please take a seat."

At this point, all the invited guests have arrived. The Xiao Clan's branch sect and the Burning Heaven Sect's outer sect naturally occupied the two top seats, followed by the five major sects, and then the seat of the New Moon City Lord Murong Hang. He was not dissatisfied with this seat arrangement. Although the Murong family is powerful in New Moon City, that is when facing civilians and small sects. In front of the seven major sects, even if he is the New Moon City Lord, he has to be obedient and behave himself, and dare not offend them at all.

As for those medium-sized sects that were invited, they were all trembling with fear. They had very few opportunities to see the seven major sects gathered together, and they could not afford to offend any of them.
