Chapter 371: There's Little Difference Between My Elder Brother and Su Yi

The whole venue fell silent, not even the sound of a pin dropping.

Shangluo Yu's words startled the prominent figures present.

After all, while Shangluo Yu could be considered a legendary figure among the younger generation, she was ultimately a junior of the Donghua Sword Sect. Her words were disrespectful and showed a complete disregard for seniority!

Master Yunlang stood still, his eyes cold as lightning, staring at Shangluo Yu. He said, "Little girl, ever since you gained the recognition of the Tianxie Ancient Sword, you've become more and more arrogant!"

His words were filled with anger and a daunting presence.

Shangluo Yu took a deep breath, stood up, and slightly bowed, showing respect. She said, "Disciple lacks restraint with her words and unintentionally offended Senior Uncle Lanza. I hope Senior Uncle Lanza will not be angry."

Pausing for a moment, she raised her head, looked straight at Master Yunlang, and said, "However, I have heard something and would like to seek guidance from Senior Uncle Lanza."

Master Yunlang frowned, suppressing his inner anger, and said, "Speak."

Shangluo Yu's voice was cold as she earnestly asked, "Senior Uncle Lanza, you once went to the Yujing City of the Great Zhou and visited Su Yi. I want to ask, what kind of relationship do you have with Su Yi?"

Her question stirred up a thousand waves!

The eyes of the prominent figures present narrowed.

Qin Dongxu's expression darkened, and his tone turned unfriendly as he said, "Brother Fu, is there really such a thing?"

A trace of suspicion appeared in Master Yunlang's eyes. This matter was extremely secretive, yet this junior, Shangluo Yu, seemed to know everything. It made him realize that something was amiss.

After a moment of silence, Master Yunlang calmly said, "Yes, Su Yi once saved the life of my disciple Lanza. It is only natural and right for me, Fu Yunlang, to personally express my gratitude."

With that, he looked coldly at Shangluo Yu and said, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Shangluo Yu glanced at the others present and said, "Senior Uncle Lanza, with this kind of answer, how should the fellow cultivators here interpret it?"

Qin Dongxu, Cheng Zhen, Gu Qingdu, You Changkong, and others furrowed their brows, while the rest had various expressions.

"Heh, using others to pressure me?" Master Yunlang sneered, his gaze turning to Qin Dongxu and the others. He said, "Then let me ask, what are your opinions?"

Standing there, he looked down upon everyone, and everyone could tell that this renowned sword master who had earned fame throughout Da Qin was truly angry.

"Fellow Daoist, calm down," Qin Dongxu smiled and said, "It's understandable that Brother Fu doesn't want to join forces with us. However, I advise Fellow Daoist to refrain from getting involved in the chaos of the Chaotic Spirit Sea."

Master Yunlang possessed astonishing strength and held a high position in the Donghua Sword Sect. Unless necessary, Qin Dongxu did not dare to easily offend him.

"The opportunities of the Qunxian Sword Tower can be sought by anyone. Why can't I, Fu Yunlang?" Master Yunlang coldly snorted.

Qin Dongxu's brows furrowed, and his expression became somewhat grim.

Gu Qing of Xuan Yue Pavilion smirked and said, "Fu Yunlang, of course you can meddle, but you better not let us discover your secret collusion with Su Yi. Otherwise, none of the fellow cultivators here will agree!"

His words carried a warning tone.

"Is that so? Let's wait and see," Master Yunlang said indifferently.

After speaking, Master Yunlang had no intention of staying any longer. He led Lanza and left directly.

As they watched their figures disappear, the prominent figures present furrowed their brows, but in the end, no one said much.

Indeed, the expedition to the Chaotic Spirit Sea had not yet begun in earnest, so it would be unwise to confront Master Yunlang at this moment.

"I didn't expect it. Master Yunlang and Lanza are quite something. In this situation, they would rather offend those old guys present than become enemies with you, Young Master. It's truly rare," Hua Xinfeng transmitted her voice, filled with emotion.

Su Yi drank a cup of wine and said, "Let's go as well. This kind of banquet is too boring."

The individuals present might be the top cultivators in Da Qin, with each one holding a higher position and a more distinguished status than the other.

But in Su Yi's eyes, they were nothing more than a group of insignificant elemental cultivators. Even the topics discussed at the banquet were extremely tedious and failed to arouse any interest.

As he was about to get up, Hua Xinfeng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Young Master Su, we can't leave, or else we'll miss an extremely rare opportunity!"

Su Yi was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Young Master, Qin Dongxu and the others plan to join forces to explore opportunities, but at the same time, they see you as their enemy. In such a situation, why can't we join forces with them?" Hua Xinfeng's voice became excited. "As long as we infiltrate their camp, we can not only use them to explore opportunities in the Chaotic Spirit Sea, but when the opportunity arises, we can catch them off guard and take them all down!"

Her eyes sparkled. "By then, the opportunities of the Qunxian Sword Tower will be ours, and all the treasures they possess will be ours too!"

Su Yi remained silent for a moment before giving a thumbs-up. "How devious."

Hua Xinfeng chuckled, "Thank you for your praise. I am honored."

"So, how do you plan to join them?" Su Yi asked with interest.

"Watch me," Hua Xinfeng said, taking a deep breath and standing up.

Her gaze fell on Qin Dongxu as she said, "Senior Qin, my elder brother and I are also willing to join forces with you to deal with that thief, Su Yi!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes turned to Hua Xinfeng. Many people wore a puzzled expression. Who was this woman?

Even Qin Dongxu was momentarily stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Forgive my ignorance, may I ask for the lady's name and her teacher?"

Everyone became even more perplexed. The level of this banquet was so high that ordinary people had no chance to participate.

However, as the host, how could Qin Dongxu not know the names of the qualified guests?

Qin Dongxu felt embarrassed in his heart. The invitations for this event were sent out by his old servant. How could he have known that there would be unfamiliar faces among the attendees?

Previously, he had simply assumed that Hua Xinfeng and Su Yi were juniors brought by some senior figures, so he didn't pay much attention.

At this moment, an old servant hurriedly approached Qin Dongxu and whispered, "My lord, that woman came with the token of appointment from Green Cloud, the second disciple of the True Lord Liuhuo. I have verified the authenticity of the token, so I allowed them to come."

Qin Dongxu's pupils suddenly contracted. He nodded but felt a surge of turmoil in his heart.

The True Lord Liuhuo!

He was the most mysterious and terrifying existence in Da Qin, hailing from Da Xia and possessing a formidable cultivation that seemed to reach the level of Spirit Dao.

In Da Qin, the True Lord Liuhuo had three direct disciples: the eldest disciple Xu Yin, the second disciple Green Cloud, and the third disciple Ran Chongyang.

These three individuals were all top-tier figures at the Elemental Dao level, each with extraordinary talent!

Now, a man and a woman came with the token of Green Cloud, the second disciple of the True Lord Liuhuo. Even Qin Dongxu did not dare to underestimate them.

At this moment, Hua Xinfeng smiled and said, "I inform the senior that my name is Zhou Feng, and this is my elder brother Zhou Yi. We both come from Da Xia. It's reasonable that the senior is unaware of our origins."

She casually created an identity for herself and Su Yi, speaking and acting naturally without any hint of strangeness.

"Da Xia!?"

Suddenly, there were many exclamations in the room.

Da Xia was extremely distant from Da Qin and was a dominant nation on the Cangqing Continent. Throughout history, very few cultivators from Da Xia had appeared in Da Qin.

Now, with Hua Xinfeng revealing such an identity, it was impossible not to attract attention.

Only Qin Dongxu showed a look of realization. The True Lord Liuhuo was indeed from Da Xia, and since this pair of men and women from Da Xia came with Green Cloud's token, it was natural and reasonable.

"Miss, do you also intend to join forces with us to exterminate Su Yi?" Qin Dongxu asked with a gentle expression.

"Exactly," Hua Xinfeng replied. "This Su Yi has offended the True Lord Liuhuo. Since my brother and I have encountered this opportunity, we cannot sit idly by."

The True Lord Liuhuo!

Upon hearing Hua Xinfeng mention this title, the expressions of the prominent figures in the room changed. They couldn't help but wonder if this woman from Da Xia was someone close to the True Lord Liuhuo?

Even Su Yi couldn't help but glance at Hua Xinfeng. Her lies were interwoven, and she dared to use the name of the True Lord Liuhuo to act. Wasn't she worried about being held accountable by the True Lord Liuhuo once he found out?

"Well..."

Qin Dongxu hesitated.

To him, having two unfamiliar individuals from Da Xia involved in this matter made him uneasy.

Especially since this operation had significant implications, the consequences were unpredictable in case of any mishap.

But if he refused, it was highly likely to offend the other party.

Furthermore, Qin Dongxu suspected that these two men and women from Da Xia were most likely sent by the True Lord Liuhuo to meddle in this opportunity-seeking mission!

If that were the case, he couldn't refuse them even more.

It would be troublesome if they offended the True Lord Liuhuo.

Seemingly understanding Qin Dongxu's thoughts, Gu Qingdu of the Xuanyue Sect spoke in a deep voice, "Miss, our operation is not something anyone can participate in casually. If you claim to act on behalf of the True Lord Liuhuo, you should demonstrate some strength to convince us of your abilities, shouldn't you?"

This was a test.

The other prominent figures in the room nodded in agreement.

Hua Xinfeng frowned slightly, seemingly displeased, but reluctantly said, "Fine then, my brother and I come from Da Xia after all. If you all have doubts, it's only natural."

After a brief thought, she revealed a confident and proud expression, as if making a decision. She said, "Alright then, whoever among you wants to test the abilities of my brother and me, step forward!"

Her words echoed throughout the room, drawing everyone's attention and causing astonishment.

The implication of her words was too arrogant. It was clear that she was saying anyone could come forward and spar with her and her brother, displaying an attitude of fearlessness.

"Miss, I see that you only have the cultivation level of Pigu realm. But you speak with such confidence. Aren't you afraid of losing face when defeated?" Shang Luo's voice was cold and clear.

Hua Xinfeng smiled faintly and pointed at Su Yi beside her, full of self-assurance. She said, "You misunderstood. My brother will fight on my behalf. Don't underestimate him just because he's only at the Innate Martial Ancestor realm. I'm not boasting, but in terms of combat power, he should be on par with that Su Yi from the Great Zhou."

As soon as she spoke, the whole room was in disbelief, showing expressions of incredulity.
