Chapter 64: A Battle to Surprise the City (I)

Yun Che and Xia Yuanba had just walked into the main hall when they happened to encounter Murong Night. His eyes slanted as he nonchalantly said, ”What are you two doing here? Do you know what kind of banquet this is? Hurry up and get out!”

“It was Elder Sikong who allowed us to come.” Xia Yuanba held back his anger and said.

“Elder Sikong? Allowed you guys?” Murong Night laughed disdainfully, “Let you guys come to disgrace yourselves? This isn’t some ordinary banquet, a battle with disciples from various sects will surely take place afterward, what are you two trash that can’t even be counted as fish doing here? Hmph, forget it, since Elder Sikong asked you to come, then you guys go in, and be honest later, if you make our New Moon Xuanfu lose face, don’t blame your senior brother for being impolite to you at that time.”

Following behind Lan Xueruo’s ass for the whole afternoon, Lan Xueruo had always had a smile on her face and a soft voice, but she never looked at him squarely once. This had caused him to hold back a bellyful of displeasure, and now that he had encountered Yun Che and Xia Yuanba, it was just the right time to vent it out.

Even if Xia Yuanba’s temper was good, suddenly being scolded by someone for no reason was still angry. Instead, Yun Che pulled his arm and blandly said, “Let’s go in.”

When they entered the main hall, they saw Sikong Han waving at them, and then had them sit at the arranged seats. The two of them’s seats were in the last row, and also the least noticeable …… However, even though the position was not noticeable, Xia Yuanba’s size and body type was placed there, it was really hard not to want to draw attention to them.

“Yun Che, Yuanba, in the future, if there is an engagement, you guys will watch it well, and it would be best if you can learn something. Both of you have come to Xuanfu for a short period of time, so no one should challenge you. Just watch peacefully from the back.” Sikong Han reminded.

“Understood, Elder Sikong.” Xia Yuanba nodded, then obediently sat down.

Yun Che also slowly nodded his head as he swept his surroundings and found that there were thirty or so Xuanfu disciples present, without any surprises, these should be the most elite group of disciples in Xuanfu, the three thousand disciples of Xuan’s Mansion had picked these thirty or so, and each one of them was undoubtedly one out of a hundred. Soon, Yun Che saw Lan Xueruo, who was clearly sitting in the center of the first row of the disciples’ seats, a position that also left Yun Che without any surprises. Eighteen years old at the eighth level of the Xuan Realm, still a girl, even within an upper-middle class sect, it was an upper class qualification.

Yun Che, also attracted the attention of quite a few Xuanfu disciples, those who could come to participate in this banquet, were all the top tier disciples, competing fiercely with each other, and were all familiar with each other, Xia Yuanba’s arrival surprised them …… because Xia Yuanba’s Xuanpower was only at the sixth level of the Beginning Xuan Realm, and was at the lower reaches of the Xuanfu, and was simply not suitable to be here, and Yun Che, who had come along with him , on the other hand, was a complete new face.

“Huh? Are you the new senior brother? I don’t think I’ve seen you before?” Sitting in the front row of Yun Che, a girl dressed in fiery red turned around and asked with blinking curious eyes.

“Hello senior sister, my name is Yun Che, I just entered the Xuan Zhi Palace today.” Yun Che nodded slightly, a very lethal smile appearing on his face.

The girl instantly had a feeling of being electrified, and her cheeks slightly reddened a few points before she let out a low cry, “Wow! It looks so small, but it’s actually already in the Xuan Realm! No wonder he was allowed to attend this banquet on only his first day in the Xuan Province.”

“That’s right, he’s my brother-in-law, he can’t be less powerful!” Xia Yuanba said with a smug expression, as if hearing others praise Yun Che was even more pleasing than praising himself.

“Ah? Brother-in-law? You’re already …… married?” The girl’s pink lips opened up, and a flash of obvious regret flowed from her eyes.

Yun Che resisted the urge to strangle Xia Yuanba to death and said with a calm face, “Yes. Senior Sister is so beautiful, she must have already gotten married as well, right?”

“I wouldn’t get married that early. Right, my name is Ye Hongling, Xuan Zhi Fu class 1, seventeen years old, if there are problems in the future, I’ll cover you yo!” The girl said in a very righteous manner.

“…… Thank you first, senior sister.”

Knowing that he might have made a mistake, Xia Yuanba lowered his head deeply and didn’t dare to speak to Yun Che for half a day.

And at this time, the protagonist of this banquet, the Crescent Moon Xuan Mansion’s new head of the Mansion, Qin Wuyou, finally arrived. Qin Wuyou looked to be around sixty years old, his face was calm and peaceful, his eyes were clear and wise, and his body exuded a transcendent and out of the ordinary aura. Qin Wuyou was originally one of the elders of the Cangfeng Xuanfu in the imperial city of the empire, and now he had been specially assigned to Crescent City as the head of the house, his strength was unfathomable.

Qin Wuyou had arrived at the Crescent Moon Xuanfu a month ago, and it was only today that the new banquet was officially held. In just one month, he had already convinced all the great elders and disciples and was widely respected. After he took his seat as chairman, those few people from the great sects also came one after the other as if they had discussed it.

“Hahahahaha, Iron Gun Sect’s Tie Zhan Cang, along with his canine son, Heng Jun, have come here to congratulate Mistress Qin on her new appointment.”

Along with a loud and cheerful laugh, a middle-aged man walked in stridingly with seven disciples.

“This person is the current sect master of the Iron Gun Sect.” Xia Yuanba said in Yun Che’s ear, “The person following behind him is his youngest son, Iron Hengjun, who, despite his young age, is incredibly talented. Rumor has it that if nothing goes wrong, he will be the first choice for the Iron Gun Sect’s next Sect Master in the future.”

“Mistress Qin, goodbye. Half a month ago by chance, I was deeply impressed by Mistress Qin’s elegance, and today I purposely brought my canine son here …… a little thin gift, no honor.”

Qin Wuyou personally descended from his seat to greet him and accepted the gift: “Tie Sect Master is really too polite, you personally came already gave old me great face, what other gifts do you bring. Your son’s talent is amazing, and his temperament is even more extraordinary, in the future he will be a dragon among men, maybe he will be far better than you as a father, hahahaha …… come, please take your seat.”

“Yuanba, this situation seems to be overly harmonious, it doesn’t look like tit for tat at all.” Yun Che nodded his chin and said.

“Eh …… this, the Iron Gun Sect’s reputation has always been very good, and although their overall strength beats our Xuan Fu, their relationship with the Xuan Fu is quite good. But the others are ……”

As Xia Yuanba was speaking, the people from the Yunyang Sect also arrived.

“Yunyang Sect’s Chief Elder, Yan Zi Zi Zai, has come to congratulate Qin Mansion Master on his new appointment.”

After the Yunyang Sect, people from the Xuanxin Sect, the Seven Slaughter Sword Pavilion, and the Wind Cloud Xuan Mansion also arrived, each sect bringing seven or eight disciples with them, and Qin Wuyou also personally went down to the table to greet them. And it wasn’t until the banquet was about to reach its official start time that the Burning Sky Sect arrived late.

“Sixth Elder of the Burning Sky Sect, Burning Cold Smoke, congratulations to Mistress Qin on her new appointment.”

The Burning Sky Sect …… was accurately described as the outer gate of the Burning Sky Sect located in Crescent Moon City, and the one leading the way was an old man with a full body red robe, which was showered with crimson flame clusters. When he stepped into the main hall, everyone clearly felt a touch of warm air brushing against their face.

After the outer gate of the Burning Sky Sect, the Xiao Sect subclan was the last to arrive. And the one leading the way was clearly a young man who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old! Behind him, he also only brought along a middle-aged man in his early forties and six young disciples under the age of twenty.

“Late generation Xiao Zong Xiao Luocheng, I have met Mistress Qin.” Entering the main hall, the teenager performed a junior salute in Qin Wuyou’s direction, his demeanor was calm and gentle, and he was not overbearing……. However, as a junior who came to pay his respects and the object was still the Imperial Xuanfu’s House Master, not being overbearing would already be a kind of arrogance.

“It’s Xiao Luocheng!!!” Xia Yuanba suddenly let out a low cry as he immediately said in Yun Che’s ear, “I didn’t expect him to come! The first day I came to New Moon City, I heard his name several times. He’s the same age as brother-in-law this year, and he’s also only sixteen years old, yet he’s already the Young Sect Leader of the Xiao Sect Sub-Sect, and he’s recognized as the number one person of the younger generation in Crescent Moon City!”

“Number one?” Yun Che immediately looked at this Xiao Luocheng a few more times. He indeed looked very young, but his demeanor was very old and mature, and between his eyebrows and eyes, he was filled with undisguised dignity and arrogance. And the sights of the people who looked at him were all filled with different …… or marveled, or appreciated, or envied and jealous, or ashamed of themselves.

“Yes, in terms of talent, the undoubted number one! He’s only sixteen years old, yet he’s already at the tenth level of the Entry Xuan Realm! I heard that it’s not far from breaking through the True Xuan Realm as well. Brother-in-law, do you believe it?”

Sixteen years old …… at the tenth level of the Entry Xuan Realm!

Yun Che’s face was also moved for a moment. His gaze subconsciously looked towards Lan Xueruo and realized that a deep layer of gravity had indeed covered her pretty face.

“Hehe, Xiao Luocheng? This name, old me has heard it like thunder. I didn’t expect that I would actually be able to meet the number one person of the younger generation of New Moon City today. Your father didn’t come?” Qin Wuyou said smilingly.

“Mistress Qin is flattering. Although my father wanted to personally congratulate House Master Qin on his new appointment in a million ways, but he was too ill to come, so he was replaced by a junior, please don’t be offended, House Master Qin.” Xiao Luocheng was full of smiles and said in a gentle manner.

Qin Wuyou was a hand of Crescent Moon Xuanfu, his new banquet should also be attended by a hand of each major clan in person in order to appear respectable enough, no more than a Chief Elder. Of the seven major sects, the Iron Gun Sect, Seven Slaughter Sword Pavilion, and Feng Yun Xuanfu were personally arrived by the patriarchs, while the Xuanxin Sect and Yunyang Sect were the chief elders. Although the Burning Sky Sect Outer Sect was big-headed, at least a Sixth Elder had come.

This Xiao Sect Outer Sect, on the other hand, was led by a latecomer!

Although Xiao Luocheng was polite, as long as one was not stupid or blind, they could see that this was clearly a naked contempt.

“Hahahahaha,” Qin Wuyou but laughed cheerfully, seeming to be completely unconcerned, “Where are these words from Young Patriarch Xiao. I have heard of Young Sect Master’s elegance for many days, and to be able to see him today is to fulfill a wish, so I can’t even wait to be happy. All honored guests of the Xiao Sect, please take your seats.”

By now, the invited guests had all arrived, the Xiao Sect Subclan and the Burning Sky Sect Outer Sect naturally occupied the two uppermost seats, followed by the five major clans, and then after that, it was the Crescent City Lord Murong Hang’s seat, and he was not half dissatisfied with this seating arrangement. Although the Murong family calls the shots in Crescent City, but that is in the face of civilians and small clans, in front of the seven big clans, even if he is the Lord of Crescent City, he must obediently pin his tail between his legs and dare not be half offended.

As for those invited medium-sized clans, they are all trembling with fear and trembling, the scene of the seven great clans gathering, they can not have several chances to see, and even more so, they can not afford to mess with one.
