Chapter 370: Night Banquet Storm

Su Yi swept his gaze around and said, "There are two more."

Hua Xinfeng's pupils slightly contracted. "Who?"

Su Yi immediately pointed out the two individuals.

One of them was a golden-robed man sitting beside Gu Qingdu, the Elder Supreme of Xuan Yue Observation Pavilion.

This person wore a bright yellow jade robe, had fair skin, and handsome features. When he smiled, the corners of his eyes slightly lifted, exuding a touch of arrogance and unruliness.

"Prince Qin Fu of Da Qin?"

Hua Xinfeng couldn't help but be startled, showing a surprised expression.

Qin Fu, the sixth son of the Da Qin Emperor, was a noble and outstanding figure. He had been cultivating at the Xuan Yue Observation Pavilion since childhood, possessing extraordinary talent and excellent aptitude. He was highly regarded by the influential figures of the Xuan Yue Observation Pavilion.

At present, with his cultivation at the Innate Martial Ancestor Realm, he ranked first among the "Eight Prodigies of Da Qin" and was hailed as the strongest Innate Martial Ancestor in a hundred years!

But Hua Xinfeng had never expected that someone as prestigious as Qin Fu could have already been possessed!

Did the Da Qin imperial family know about this?

What about those old fellows in the Xuan Yue Observation Pavilion? Had they discovered something unusual about Qin Fu?

Hua Xinfeng couldn't help but become absent-minded.

Although the Ten Directions Pavilion possessed numerous secrets and had extremely well-informed intelligence, they had completely overlooked the fact that there could be such a body possessor within the Da Qin imperial family.

"What about the other person?"

After a moment, Hua Xinfeng couldn't help but ask.

"Consider them as half."

Su Yi said and looked towards Shang Luo Yu of the Donghua Sword Sect. She wore a black veil dress, had snowy-white skin, cold eyebrows and eyes, and carried a broad-mouthed giant sword on her back. Her demeanor was unparalleled, and her aura was awe-inspiring.

"How is that possible..."

Hua Xinfeng was completely stunned. Among the hidden secrets they possessed at the Ten Directions Pavilion, Shang Luo Yu, the personal disciple of the Donghua Sword Sect's sect master, was like Moon Shichen of the Great Zhou, both legendary figures among the younger generation that appeared once in thousands of years.

According to reliable information, Shang Luo Yu possessed exceptional talent and possessed mysterious bloodline power. Several years ago, she obtained the recognition of the Donghua Sword Sect's Tianxie Ancient Sword, and her cultivation surpassed many older generation cultivators of the Donghua Sword Sect.

How could such an extraordinary female sword cultivator be a body possessor?

"By the way, what does 'half a body possessor' mean?"

Hua Xinfeng couldn't help but ask.

"It means that they haven't been possessed yet, but there is a mysterious soul power within their bodies."

Su Yi casually explained, "Do you remember the demonic spirit that possessed Su Hongli? The situation with Shang Luo Yu is similar. If I'm not mistaken, that mysterious soul power within her should come from the giant sword she carries on her back."

"The Tianxie Ancient Sword!"

Hua Xinfeng's heart shook, and she immediately understood, "So that's it. The Donghua Sword Sect's Tianxie Ancient Sword was brought back by their sect master from the depths of the Chaotic Spirit Sea thirty years ago. It is said that this sword came from an ancient relic left by a sect called the 'Tianxie Spirit Sect'."

"Thus, it seems that when Shang Luo Yu obtained the sword's recognition, she also became host to a soul power residing within the sword!"

As she said this, Hua Xinfeng couldn't help but give Su Yi another look, her heart filled with doubts. This guy's insight is truly extraordinary. He can discern so many secrets with just one glance.

While they were conversing, the discussions on the jade platform suddenly ceased. The influential figures who were engaged in conversation all turned their gazes to the same place.

In the distance, an elderly man with a youthful appearance and graying hair, dressed in a flowing purple robe, ascended the jade platform. He was the host of tonight's banquet, Qin Dongxu, the second elder of the Wulong Mountain in Da Qin.

With a smile on his face, he scanned the crowd and greeted, "I apologize for the wait. The banquet shall now begin."

As he finished speaking, numerous young maidservants carried various exquisite and delicious dishes, placing them one by one on the tables in front of the guests.

Qin Dongxu exchanged pleasantries and offered three rounds of drinks before speaking with a smile, "I know that all of you have come for the opportunity presented by the 'Qunxian Sword Tower.' The purpose of this banquet is for us to discuss this matter together."

The guests put down their utensils and turned their gazes to Qin Dongxu.

The atmosphere became quiet.

Seeing this, Qin Dongxu no longer concealed anything and said frankly, "To be honest, I possess an ancient secret map that is believed to be related to the ruins left by the Qunxian Sword Tower. If we follow this map, we may be able to avoid many dangers and seize great opportunities."

As soon as these words were uttered, the whole venue trembled, and many important figures were moved.

No one had expected that Qin Dongxu would possess such an ancient secret map.

Hua Xinfeng's eyes lit up, and she transmitted her voice to Su Yi, saying, "We've come at the right time this time. If we can see that secret map, it will greatly assist us in our future actions."

Su Yi responded calmly, "If you had such a secret map, would you make it public?"

Hua Xinfeng was taken aback, contemplating the question. "In that case, this old guy Qin Dongxu must have another motive."

"Friend Qin, are you serious about this?" Gu Qingdu, the Elder Supreme of Xuan Yue Observation Pavilion, asked.

"No falsehood," Qin Dongxu smiled faintly. "I have gathered this banquet with the intention of inviting some fellow cultivators to join me in exploring this great opportunity."

The crowd became restless, and many were tempted.

"In that case, may I ask, Brother Qin, what conditions are required to join forces with your Wulong Mountain?" Gu Qingdu asked again.

"Discussing conditions is not my intention," Qin Dongxu's expression turned serious. "However, if you wish to act together with me, you must guarantee one thing."

"What is it?" Everyone showed a concerned expression.

Qin Dongxu's gaze swept over the people around him, and he softly uttered three words from his lips, "Kill Su Yi!"

The whole venue fell silent.

Su Yi!

This name seemed to possess a mysterious power, causing the expressions of the prominent figures present to subtly change.

It was at this moment that they finally understood why Qin Dongxu had revealed the secret map. The key was to unite a group of formidable individuals to deal with Su Yi!

Hua Xinfeng's eyes showed a hint of peculiarity.

She had previously gathered information that Qin Dongxu would announce a major event at tonight's banquet, but she had never expected that it would be related to dealing with Su Yi!

This... was truly coincidental.

Su Yi sat there, drinking on his own, seemingly unaffected by anything.

"Could it be that Su Yi is also going to the Chaotic Spirit Sea?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Yes," Qin Dongxu said, "According to the information I received, two days ago, this young man left the Dazhou Celestial Academy. Without any accidents, he should have already arrived within Da Qin's territory, possibly even in Dongfu County."

As soon as these words were spoken, the venue stirred once again.

"I, Gu Qingdu, will not stand idly by in dealing with Su Yi," Gu Qingdu said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with a murderous intent.

This was equivalent to Xuan Yue Observation Pavilion expressing their stance to cooperate with Qin Dongxu and deal with Su Yi together!

"Su Yi has killed countless people from my Shanglin Monastery, even Elder Jihe fell victim to his poisonous hands. If he dares to appear, my Shanglin Monastery will not stand aside," a resolute middle-aged monk next to Cheng Zhen spoke, expressing his determination to kill Su Yi.

This scene caused even more commotion among the prominent figures present.

"Qin Brother, count me in," the refined and elegant You Changkong calmly spoke, "I won't hide it from everyone. I came here not for opportunities but solely to take Su Yi's head."

Up until now, Xuan Yue Observation Pavilion, Shanglin Monastery, and the You Clan had all expressed their intention to join forces and deal with Su Yi!

This was undoubtedly a terrifying lineup!

Qin Dongxu's smile grew wider on his face as he said, "By the way, I forgot to mention one thing. Nie Xingkong, the Grand Master of the Dazhou Hidden Dragon Sword Sect, will also join us."

The whole venue erupted into an uproar, and everyone's gaze turned towards Nie Xingkong. As the sect master, he sat next to Cheng Zhen, his expression wooden and emotionless. Clearly, he had already been in contact with Qin Dongxu beforehand.

"Tsk, is this Possessor trying to avenge Feng Liu?" Hua Xinfeng raised an eyebrow.

"He's seeking death," Su Yi said, taking a sip of his drink.

In the following time, one after another, cultivators from Da Qin expressed their willingness to join forces with Qin Dongxu.

There were figures like Lin Yubei, the Lord of the Honglian Sword Mansion, and other names that Su Yi had never heard of.

"Is there anyone else willing to join hands?" Qin Dongxu spoke, his gaze turning towards the direction of the Donghua Sword Sect.

Among the three major cultivation forces of Da Qin, two had already expressed their stance, leaving only the Donghua Sword Sect.

Master Yunlang remained silent, while Lansa straightforwardly said, "We're not interested in joining forces."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole venue was taken aback.

Qin Dongxu frowned.

Gu Qingdu, Cheng Zhen, You Changkong, and others in the distance all cast their gazes over.

At this moment, an unexpected scene unfolded—Shangluo Yudai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her voice cold as she said, "Senior Uncle Lanza, I heard that Su Yi saved your life during the Great Zhou period. Could it be because of this that you refused?"

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became strange.

Lansa was Master Yunlang's direct disciple, while Shangluo Yu was the direct disciple of the Donghua Sword Sect's Sect Master, with a difference in seniority between the two.

That was why Shangluo Yu referred to Lanza as "Senior Uncle."

But Shangluo Yu's words were straightforward and obviously had a hidden meaning!

Especially when they learned that Su Yi had saved Lanza's life, many eyes in the venue carried a hint of coldness as they looked at Lanza.

Lansa keenly sensed the change in the atmosphere of the banquet, but she remained indifferent and said calmly, "Shangluo Yu, you're overthinking."

Shangluo Yu shook her head and said, "Even if I am overthinking, Senior Uncle, your personal stance cannot represent the entire Donghua Sword Sect."

With that, she looked at Qin Dongxu and said, "Senior, if you are willing to let me have a look at that secret map, I can promise to join forces to deal with Su Yi!"

Qin Dongxu smiled and said, "Naturally, that can be arranged."

A trace of anger flashed in Lanza's eyebrows. "Shangluo Yu, you have always targeted me before, and I couldn't be bothered to argue with you. But now, at such a time, aren't you afraid of inviting trouble upon yourself?"

Shangluo Yu's expression turned cold. "Senior Uncle, in your eyes, do you think all of us who want to join forces with Senior Qin to deal with Su Yi are just causing trouble? As for inviting trouble upon oneself, don't you find such words laughable?"

Seeing the tension escalating between the two women, Master Yunlang furrowed his brows and reprimanded, "Enough, the two of you, stop arguing."

He looked at Qin Dongxu and said, "Both Lanza and I will not be involved in this matter. That is the stance of Fu Yunlang! It's getting late, and I will take my leave first."

With that, he stood up, preparing to leave with Lanza.

As for Shangluo Yu, she was completely ignored.

Shangluo Yu's face slightly changed, and she couldn't help but say, "Senior Uncle, by doing this, aren't you making enemies out of all the fellow cultivators present?"

This was a disrespectful remark!
