Chapter 43
Jun Wu Xie frowned. He didn't expect to be ridiculed before he even entered the door.
He could tell that the invitations to the banquet seemed to be divided into different grades by color.
He didn't know what grade the golden invitation in his hand was. Since it was written by Ji Inran, it shouldn't be too low.
He immediately took out the invitation and handed it to the receptionist at the door.
"Come, let's see what grade the invitation in his hand is …"
Yao Yan wanted to ridicule Jun Wu Xie when he saw him taking the invitation. However, before he could finish his words, the smile on his face froze.
"Gold!"
Bu Yunfei was shocked and the muscles on his face twitched violently.
"He's just a rogue cultivator. How could he have the highest grade golden invitation?"
He and Yao Yan found it hard to believe and accept.
The grade of the invitation represented the status of the holder.
Bu Yunfei was the young master of one of the Six Great Families, but he only had a purple invitation. How could a rogue cultivator have a golden invitation?
Yao Yan's expression was the worst. He looked as if he had just drunk a bowl of hot shit.
He was just ridiculing and ridiculing Xu Que, but he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye. It was too humiliating.
"Check it carefully and see if this invitation card is forged!"
Yao Yan went forward to say to the receptionist, and the gaze he was looking at Jun Xie with was rather unfriendly.
"Yes, we must check carefully."
Bu Yunfei also spoke. He didn't believe that a rogue cultivator could have a golden invitation. It was impossible.
"Young Master Bu, this invitation is real."
The receptionist said, shattering their fantasy.
"Humph! This person is just a rogue cultivator. Do you think it's possible for him to have a golden invitation? "Yao Yan said with an ugly expression," As the young master of the Yao Family in Yun City, I only have a purple invitation. I think he must have stolen it! "
"No!" Little Yueyao said angrily when she saw that her brother was being wronged. "My brother's invitation was given to him by a beautiful sister!"
"A woman gave it to you?" Yao Yan sneered and asked, "Tell me, who is that woman? What right does she have to give you a golden invitation? "
"Are you crazy?"
Jun Wu Xie was annoyed. This guy was crazy.
"You dare to scold me?" Yao Yan's eyes were cold as he said, "You thief, this Young Master will capture you first, then slowly interrogate you!"
After he finished speaking, he reached out to grab Jun Wu Xie.
"Stop!"
The receptionist's expression changed slightly. He had already recognized it and felt the Spear Intent from the Golden Invitation.
There was only one person in the capital city who had the qualifications to write a golden note and inject Spear Intent into the word 'Lan'!
However, he was still too slow.
Yao Yan's hand had already landed on the rogue cultivator's shoulder.
However, as expected, the scene of the rogue cultivator being captured did not appear.
Instead, it was Yao Yan who screamed. His outstretched hand was firmly clamped in the rogue cultivator's hand.
There was a cracking sound.
Yao Yan's wrist was broken on the spot.
"Who do you think you are to question me?"
Jun Wu Xie kicked him to the ground and stepped on his face. He looked down and said, "Who do you think you're looking down on?"
Yao Yan used all his strength to break free, but that foot was too heavy. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on his body, making it impossible for him to move.
He felt that his facial bones were about to shatter, and the pain was piercing his heart.
"I have always convinced people with reason." Jun Wu Xie's foot rubbed against Yao Yan's face. "Are you convinced now?"
"I'm not convinced!"
Yao Yan cursed loudly, so much so that his eyes were about to drip blood.
Being trampled on at the entrance of Juxian Manor, how could he still have the face to attend the banquet?
"Not convinced?" Jun Wu Xie smiled and increased the strength of his foot. "I specialize in dealing with all kinds of unconvinced people. Now, I'll reason with you until you're convinced. "
After he finished speaking, his foot ruthlessly rubbed against Yao Yan's face. Yao Yan's face was bleeding profusely.
The receptionist and Bu Yun Fei clearly heard the sound of Yao Yan's facial bones breaking.
Ah!
Yao Yan screamed, only feeling that his head was about to be crushed. His bloodshot eyes bulged out of their sockets as if they were about to burst.
He was afraid. The feeling of death made him feel fear.
"How is it? Are you convinced by my reasoning?"
Jun Wu Xie looked down at him and said coldly.
"I'm convinced, I'm convinced!"
Yao Yan was about to collapse. He had lived for so long, but he had never felt that death was so close to him like this.
"Boom!"
Jun Wu Xie kicked Yao Yan dozens of meters away, and he fell into the shallow pond in front of Juxian Manor. Half of his body was buried in the mud, leaving only his butt and two feet exposed.
"As long as the reasoning is strong, there is no illness that cannot be cured."
Jun Wu Xie said indifferently. He took back the Golden Invitation from the dumbfounded receptionist, and pulled Yueyao into Juxian Manor.
Bu Yun Fei looked at his back with uncertainty. He then asked the receptionist, "Who wrote the Golden Invitation?"
"It's, it's the Seventh Princess!"
"What?"
Bu Yun Fei's expression kept changing. He thought of many possibilities, but he never thought that it would be Ji Inran who personally wrote the Golden Invitation to a rogue cultivator.
This legend of the Great Zhou Dynasty had never written an invitation before.
She had always been arrogant. There were many talents in the capital city, but none of them could catch her eye.
Today, she actually personally wrote a Golden Invitation to a rogue cultivator!
That rogue cultivator was only a Xiantian Realm martial artist. What did he do to deserve Ji Inran's favor?
…
There were already many people in Juxian Manor. They gathered in twos and threes, chatting with each other. There were also people shuttling back and forth, mingling with everyone.
Jun Wu Xie brought little Yueyao and sat down at an inconspicuous table.
The banquet had not officially started yet, and the host of the banquet was not present.
He sized up the men and women in the banquet hall.
These young men and women were wearing luxurious clothes and expensive accessories. They were chatting and laughing with each other.
"Brother Wuxie, can Yueyao eat the food on the table?"
A timid voice interrupted Jun Wu Xie's thoughts.
"Of course you can." Jun Wu Xie pointed at a plate of exquisite pastries and fruits. "Eat whatever you want. Don't be afraid."
"Yes, yes."
Little Yueyao's eyes turned into crescent moons as she took a piece of pastry and tasted it. "It's delicious. Brother, have some too."
"Jun Wu Xie, how have you been these days?"
The familiar voice made Jun Wu Xie turn around abruptly. He could not help but be stunned. "Miss Qin, why are you here?"
Qin Keqing sat down beside little Yueyao and said, "I have a good relationship with the daughter of the Muyang family. She was the one who invited me. What about you? Ji Inran must have invited you, right? "
Jun Wu Xie nodded in tacit agreement.
"It's been more than ten days since we parted ways with Qingyang. I already know some things. It's my Hunter's Guild that didn't manage my subordinates well and brought you a lot of trouble."
"I've already killed him. As long as Miss Qin doesn't blame me, it's fine."
Qin Keqing smiled and said, "How can that be? Yuan Ji deserved to die. It's only right for you to kill him."
Jun Wu Xie did not continue this topic. He looked around and said, "It seems that Miss Qin is very popular at the banquet."
Qin Keqing was stunned. She followed his gaze and immediately understood what he was referring to. She said apologetically, "I didn't do it on purpose. I even deliberately avoided the crowded route when I came in …"
"I know." Jun Wu Xie was rather helpless. "You're very beautiful. Naturally, you'll become the center of attention. Now, I'm the target of public criticism. Look at their eyes. They all want to swallow me alive. "
At this moment, the banquet hall suddenly fell silent.
Pairs of eyes looked at the entrance of the hall.
Two people came in one after the other.
Walking in front was a young man in a python robe in his early twenties. Behind him was an old man in embroidered clothes with sharp eyes.
"Greetings, Third Prince."
Everyone greeted him in unison and only bowed slightly.
This was the rule of the Juxian Village. There was no need to bow to the members of the royal family here.
"Thank you for coming to the Juxian Village." The Third Prince smiled and greeted them. "Everyone, please enjoy yourselves. Have fun."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the corner where Jun Wu Xie was.
Everyone's gazes followed the Third Prince and shifted to Jun Wu Xie and Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing said to Jun Wu Xie, "I'll introduce you later. It's your first time in the imperial capital. It's a good thing to get to know more people from the royal family."
Jun Wu Xie did not comment.
He only came here to familiarize himself with the faces of the powerful children in the capital. As for who to befriend, he was really not interested. However, he did not want to embarrass Qin Keqing
Chapter 44
The Third Prince came gracefully before Qin Keqing and said: "For Miss Qin to be able to attend this gathering, it is truly an honour."
Qin Keqing nodded slightly: "The Third Prince is too kind."
"Is this a friend of Miss Qin?" The Third Prince turned his gaze towards Jun Wu Xie and said with a smile: "To be able to be friends with Miss Qin, I wonder which family are you from?"
Jun Wu Xie heard the Third Prince's words and he couldn't help but be startled.
Could it be that in order to be friends with Qin Keqing, one must be from a powerful family or a powerful Sect?
"Come, let me introduce you to the Third Prince." Qin Keqing looked at Jun Wu Xie and smiled at the Third Prince: "This is Jun Wu Xie, my friend, a prodigy who cultivates both sword and body."
"Third Prince."
Jun Wu Xie stood up and nodded his head in greeting.
"Cultivating both sword and body. In the entire world of Cultivators, such a person is as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn." The Third Prince smiled elegantly and said: "I wonder where Young Master Jun's Master came from?"
"The Third Prince is too kind." Jun Wu Xie smiled faintly: "I am but a wandering cultivator. I was lucky enough to stumble upon half a manual of the Body Cultivation Technique and have no Master."
"Wandering cultivator?" The smile on the Third Prince's face froze but he quickly recovered his elegant demeanour and said: "As the ancients say, a hero's background does not matter. Young Master Jun need not belittle himself."
Jun Wu Xie smiled but did not say anything. The slight change in the Third Prince's expression had been noticed by him.
People of the Imperial Family were still realistic.
They naturally valued those who came from powerful families.
After all, only those who came from powerful families were worthy of being associated and roped in. In the future struggle for Imperial power, they would be a great help.
The Third Prince's gaze once again returned to Qin Keqing's body. The smile on his face was as warm as the spring breeze: "Miss Qin, would you be willing to move and sit in my private room for a moment?"
"No need. It's very lively here." Qin Keqing flatly refused. "Third Prince, please take care."
"Since that's the case, this consort won't force you. I hope that Miss Qin will have fun."
The Third Prince's smile was still there as he said his goodbyes gracefully. But the moment he turned around, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch a few times.
He didn't expect that Qin Keqing wouldn't give him any face.
Not only did she reject him, she even asked him to leave?
In the banquet hall, although everyone was chatting in twos and threes, they were also paying attention to the situation here.
Who was that elegant and beautiful woman?
The Third Prince had personally come forward, and it seemed that he had been given the cold shoulder.
Who was the green-clothed young man sitting at the same table as that woman? Seeing how they were chatting so harmoniously, it seemed that their relationship was quite good.
"He might be different from what you think."
Bu Yunfei came to the front of several people who were talking about the identities of Qin Keqing and Jun Wu Xie. He very casually clinked glasses with them one by one.
"Young Master Bu, do you know them?"
Several people were very curious and looked at him one after another.
"I don't know that woman." Bu Yunfei raised his head and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. He said indifferently: "That green-clothed young man is just a Loose Practitioner."
"A Loose Practitioner?"
Several young men and women revealed strange expressions.
"Bu Yunfei, are you making fun of us?"
Yu Wei didn't believe it. He and Bu Yunfei were both young masters of the Six Great Families in the capital, and they usually had a good relationship.
The others also expressed their disbelief.
"It's up to you to believe it or not." Bu Yunfei said with a trace of ridicule: "When I came here, I met this person at the door. He said that he was a Loose Practitioner himself. Didn't you notice just now? That woman obviously introduced this person to the Third Prince, but when the Third Prince left, he didn't even look at him. "
"Now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case …" Nie Xiaowu, the young mistress of one of the Six Great Families, recalled and then chuckled: "I was wondering what kind of background he had. He is just a Loose Practitioner. It seems that woman's taste is not very good."
Wang Qin, one of the young masters of the Six Great Families, teased: "Xiaowu, are you jealous that she is prettier than you?"
"Haha, jealous?" Nie Xiaowu raised her beautiful face slightly and said proudly: "Does she deserve it?"
…
In the corner of the banquet hall, Qin Keqing looked at Jun Wu Xie apologetically and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this. The Third Prince is a little shallow. He has no taste to look down on you."
"Why are you apologizing?" Jun Wu Xie smiled faintly: "I have no intention of befriending anyone, especially someone from the Royal Family."
"Wuxie, you don't mean what you say." Qin Keqing's eyes sparkled and said: "What about Ji Inran? Isn't she also a member of the Royal Family? Does that count as befriending the two of you? "
"She is different from the Third Prince."
"What's the difference?"
"Well, Sister Keqing, are you talking about the beautiful sister who sent my brother the invitation?"
Little Yueyao, who was eating grapes, blinked her big eyes and interrupted.
"Yes."
Qin Keqing patted little Yueyao's head.
Jun Wu Xie smiled and said: "The world in her eyes will not be in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future. She will not participate in the struggle for the Royal Family."
"So you don't want to be involved in the whirlpool of the struggle for the Royal Family. You see it clearly."
Qin Keqing was a little surprised. Although Jun Wu Xie had amazing potential, he was still from a small city family. Normally, he would not realize these things so quickly.
But he seemed to have noticed these things a long time ago.
Jun Wu Xie glanced at little Yueyao, who was eating with relish, and said to Qin Keqing: "I don't want to attract unnecessary trouble."
At this moment, the lively banquet hall suddenly quieted down.
"Muyang Qingya is here!"
Someone cried out in surprise.
Jun Wu Xie followed everyone's gaze and saw a woman appear at the entrance of the banquet hall.
She was wearing a long yellow dress with flowers on the ground. She walked in leisurely, her waterfall-like black hair gently dancing as she walked.
This woman's facial features were exquisite beyond compare. She was comparable to Qin Keqing, but her temperament was completely different.
Qin Keqing belonged to the elegant and quick-witted type, while this woman belonged to the sexy type.
As soon as she appeared, she instantly became the focus of the entire banquet hall.
Jun Wu Xie saw that the eyes of all the men here were blazing, and some of them were even short of breath.
"Qingya is here. I can't stay here."
Qin Keqing gave Jun Wu Xie an apologetic look.
"The daughter of the Muyang family you mentioned is her?"
"Yes, the number one beauty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Muyang Qingya. If I continue to sit here, I'm afraid you will really become the target of public criticism today. "
Qin Keqing teased, then got up and walked towards Muyang Qingya.
"Keqing, I'm sorry I'm late. You've been waiting for a long time, right?" Muyang Qingya's smile was very charming, like strong wine, intoxicating.
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "I've only been here for a while."
"Keqing, who is that?" Muyang Qingya obviously noticed Jun Wu Xie, who was sitting at the same table as Qin Keqing, and said jokingly: "Let me guess … it's not someone you like, right?"
"Qingya, don't talk nonsense. We're just ordinary friends. We've only known each other for a few days."
"Is that so?"
Muyang Qingya had a look of disbelief.
"Princess Qingya." Bu Yunfei stepped forward and said in a low voice: "That person is the rogue cultivator guest invited by the seventh princess."
He deliberately emphasized the seventh princess and the rogue cultivator guest.
As soon as these words came out, the intoxicating smile on Muyang Qingya's face suddenly froze.
"Qingya is here."
At this time, a handsome man in embroidered clothes came out of the private room, elegantly came in front of Muyang Qingya, and handed her a cup of wine.
Muyang Qingya didn't take it, but smiled at Qin Keqing and said: "Keqing, you don't treat me as a sister. That young man, why don't you introduce him to me? It's too rude to leave him out like this. Why don't we go over and have a seat? "
Her voice wasn't soft.
Suddenly, everyone in the banquet hall looked at Jun Wu Xie, who was sitting in the corner.
"Qingya!"
Qin Keqing's face slightly changed. When Bu Yunfei came over and said those words, and when she saw Muyang Qingya's reaction, she knew it was bad.
Next to her, the man in embroidered clothes was still holding the wine. His hand was stiff in the air, and his face gradually became gloomy. He coldly looked at Jun Wu Xie in the corner.
Who was that azure-clothed youth?
Muyang Qingya was jealous of Qin Keqing because of that person?
Moreover, she didn't give him, the heir of the Murong family, any face in public!
The two most beautiful women in the banquet were actually thinking about that rustic azure-clothed youth.
Not only Murong Qi, but all the men in the banquet hall were coldly staring at that corner.
Jun Wu Xie felt the strong hostility in those eyes and couldn't help but frown.
He just wanted to quietly wait here for Ji Inran, but now it seemed that it would be difficult to do so.
Chapter 45
Muyang Qingya has a sexy and charming smile on her lips. She picks up two cups of wine and walks towards the corner of the banquet hall.
"Qingya!"
Qin Keqing wants to stop her, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, it's not good to forcefully pull her back.
"Young Master, can I invite you to drink a cup of wine?"
Muyang Qingya elegantly passes the wine cup to Jun Wu Xie. Her eyes seem to be able to send electricity.
Coupled with her sexy and beautiful facial features, it can be said that few people can resist this kind of charm.
The banquet hall instantly turns cold.
Every man's eyes are spitting fire.
Muyang Qingya is the number one beauty of Da Zhou!
In the entire capital, how many young talents want to get close to her but can't? Even if they can get close to her and say a few words, they will feel lucky for three lifetimes.
Now, she actually took the initiative to invite that green-clothed youth to drink!
Muyang Qingya's action makes every man who admires and fantasizes about her feel a deep sense of defeat.
Jealousy, anger, and other emotions fill their hearts.
"Sorry, I can't drink."
Jun Wu Xie's voice echoes in the silent banquet hall, clearly passing into everyone's ears.
He refused?
He actually dares to refuse?
In an instant, Muyang Qingya's admirers almost explode!
Their goddess took the initiative to invite that country bumpkin green-clothed youth to drink. The other party should be flattered and lucky for three lifetimes!
But that guy actually dared to refuse in public, not giving face to their goddess!
Based on what?
What qualifications does he have?
Murong Qi, the heir of one of the four great clans, has a gloomy and cold look in his eyes.
With his identity as the heir, how honorable is he in the capital? Moreover, he is also an elite disciple of Daiga Ken Sect.
With these two identities, he wanted to invite Muyang Qingya to drink a cup of wine, but the other party didn't give him the honor.
Now, a country bumpkin abandoned the thing he wanted but couldn't get like a worn-out shoe!
"Young Master, you have quite the character. You are the first person to refuse me, Muyang Qingya."
Muyang Qingya's heart is very angry. This is the first time she invited a man, but she was rejected like this.
But she was unwilling to give up.
She wanted to use facts to prove that Ji Inran's taste was nothing more than this. The people he liked would also submit in the face of beauty.
"Then, Young Master, may I sit here?"
Muyang Qingya seemed to be asking for permission, but when she spoke, she was already sitting across from Jun Wu Xie.
"I'm not the host of this gathering. If you want to sit here, I naturally don't have the authority to stop you from sitting. Please do as you wish."
Jun Wu Xie picked up a grape, carefully peeled it, and fed it to little Yueyao.
"Big brother, who is this big sister?"
Little Yueyao looked curiously at the beautiful big sister who had suddenly appeared and asked with blinking eyes.
"Big Brother doesn't know her. Maybe she's just a passerby who's tired from walking."
Everyone was speechless.
Muyang Qingya, "…"
She was beginning to get angry.
She, Muyang Qingya, had never been ignored by a man like this. Moreover, he was a powerless rogue cultivator.
From the beginning, that young man had never looked at her directly, as if she was air!
"Young Master, why do you keep people a thousand miles away? I don't seem to have offended you. Why don't we have a chat and become friends?"
Muyang Qingya suppressed the anger in her heart and said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, her admirers suddenly felt as if an arrow had pierced through their hearts!
How could a proud goddess lower herself like this? This made them feel incomparably angry.
"You didn't offend me?" Jun Wu Xie looked at the male animals in the banquet hall whose eyes could eat people and said, "You made me the target of public criticism."
"It's not my fault that I'm beautiful. Could it be that because I'm too beautiful, I can't make friends according to my own preferences? This is too unfair to me. "
"It's true that you're beautiful." Jun Wu Xie's mouth hooked up into a sneer, "But you're beautiful, and you still want to be beautiful. That's not right."
"Young Master, what do you mean? Qingya doesn't understand."
Jun Wu Xie stared at her sexy and beautiful face and said, "You don't understand because you like to pretend to be confused."
"Young Master, how can you misunderstand me like this?"
Jun Wu Xie looked at her pretentious posture and suddenly moved his face forward and said, "It seems that you're a person who likes to ask for a snub. Is your face too hot, so you need to stick a cold butt to cool down? "
"You, a rogue cultivator, dare to talk to me like this?"
Muyang Qingya finally couldn't control the anger in her heart and couldn't pretend anymore.
This damned rogue cultivator completely ignored her charm. Every word of his was filled with a spear, making her unable to use it. Now he was directly attacking her!
"So what if I'm a rogue cultivator?" Jun Wu Xie cast a sidelong glance at her. While feeding Yueyao grapes, he said, "If you're not convinced, you can also be a rogue cultivator."
"…"
Muyang Qingya was so angry that she wanted to kill him.
She was the dignified daughter of the Muyang family and a princess. She had the backing of a powerful family. How could she be a rogue cultivator?
This hateful guy, why did it sound like being a rogue cultivator was a supreme glory and something worth showing off from his mouth?
"Humph, I don't know which small town this bumpkin came from with a little beggar. Haven't you even eaten grapes before?" Bu Yunfei sneered in the distance.
He had lost face in front of the Juxian Manor. Now that the rogue cultivator had offended the princess of the Muyang family, the goddess in everyone's hearts, it was a good opportunity to attack. How could he miss it?
As soon as he said this, everyone in the banquet hall looked at him with disdain.
"Brother …" Little Yueyao saw everyone looking at her and her brother like this and suddenly felt so wronged that she was about to cry. She lowered her little head and said, "Did Yueyao do something wrong …"
"Yueyao, you didn't do anything wrong. These grapes are for people to eat."
Jun Wu Xie stroked little Yueyao's head and comforted her gently.
"A rogue cultivator with a beggar came to the Juxian Manor to eat and drink. Why don't you take a look at where you are!"
Bu Yunfei sneered. Anyway, Ji Inran was not here. Even if she was here, Muyang Qingya and Murong Qi, who admired her, would be there to support them.
"Brother, Yueyao won't eat. This way, they won't make things difficult for you …"
Little Yueyao felt so wronged that her tears fell. She regretted that she was so greedy and caused trouble for her brother.
"Yueyao, don't be afraid," Jun Wu Xie comforted her, and then looked coldly at Bu Yunfei in the distance and said, "You, come here!"
"What, you want to fight?"
Bu Yunfei's eyes had a trace of ruthlessness.
He was not a good-for-nothing like Yao Yan. He was cultivating in the Daiga Ken Sect and was an inner disciple. Now, he had reached the eighth change of the Qi-gathering state!
Immediately, he walked toward Jun Wu Xie aggressively.
Qin Keqing could not help but sigh when she saw that the situation had developed to this point.
She knew that Jun Wu Xie's anger had been completely aroused.
This crazy sister protector. Once his sister was wronged, he would become like a madman.
"Boy, I'm already here. You want to hit me?"
Bu Yunfei provoked. As long as the other party dared to make the first move, he would strike back with a thunderous force and cripple him. At that time, even if Ji Inran came, he could say that it was self-defense and counterattack. He would have a valid reason.
"Kneel down and apologize to my sister. Ask for her forgiveness."
Jun Wu Xie stood up and looked at Bu Yunfei expressionlessly.
"What did you say?"
Bu Yunfei was a little confused. Then, he laughed wildly as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world.
This rogue cultivator actually wanted him to kneel down and apologize to that little beggar?
Hahaha!
Everyone in the banquet hall burst into laughter.
He was just a rogue cultivator who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. He actually wanted Bu Yunfei, the young master of the Bu family and an inner disciple of the Daiga Ken Sect, to kneel down and apologize.
Chapter 46
Everyone in the banquet hall burst into laughter.
That guy was just a rogue cultivator. Where did he get the confidence to say such arrogant words?
Who was Bu Yunfei?
He was the young master of the Bu family in the capital city. At the same time, he was also one of the top inner disciples of the Daiga Ken Sect. He was someone with a high status in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
Bu Yunfei leaned forward and said, "Kid, what did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly. Come on, repeat it to this young master again. "
Jun Wu Xie was expressionless as she gave Bu Yun Fei a tight slap across his face.
Slap!
This slap made Bu Yunfei spin in a circle on the spot. In the process of spinning, the teeth in his mouth spurted out like bullets, mixed with blood.
Instantly, the entire banquet hall fell silent.
Everyone in the banquet hall was dumbfounded.
That rogue cultivator actually dared to slap Bu Yunfei in front of everyone in an extremely humiliating way!
This was out of their expectations. Even Murong Qi's eyes were filled with shock.
Muyang Qingya was also shocked.
"F * ck!"
Bu Yunfei spun 360 degrees and was stunned on the spot. He felt an intense pain on his face. When he came back to his senses, he almost exploded in anger.
A cold light flashed from his storage ring and a spiritual sword appeared in his hand. He stabbed it toward Jun Wu Xie.
As the sword Qi burst out, there was a faint sound of a river rushing. The sword waves surged like water ripples and spread in all directions. The momentum was astonishing.
Daiga Sword Technique!
This was the cultivation method and sword technique of the Daiga Ken Sect. When the sword was drawn, it was like a surging river that was endless.
"Ding!"
Jun Wu Xie's finger glowed with a golden light and shattered the sword Qi. The moment he touched the tip of the sword, he flicked his finger and the sound of metal was ear-piercing.
The spiritual sword in Bu Yunfei's hand instantly bent.
His expression changed drastically. He only felt an irresistible force coming from the sword. The force penetrated his palm and fingers. His entire palm was in excruciating pain as if it was pierced by countless tiny sword Qi.
His palm and fingers lost strength and the spiritual sword flew out of his hand.
"You!"
Before he could react, he saw the rogue cultivator in front of him. The rogue cultivator raised his golden palm high and pressed it down.
Rumble!
Under the cover of the golden palm, the airflow exploded.
The suppression of blood and qi was as heavy as a mountain!
Bu Yunfei suddenly felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him. He bent his knees and kneeled down on the ground. Blood gushed out from his knees, and the hard green jade floor was covered with cracks.
The pupils of everyone in the banquet hall suddenly shrank.
Bu Yunfei was defeated?
A rogue cultivator had raised his hand and forced Bu Yunfei, who was at the Eighth Transformation of the Qi Condensation Realm, to his knees!
How was this possible?
Such a scene was too shocking, deeply impacting the eyes of everyone present.
Bu Yunfei was considered one of the best in his generation, but he was no match for a rogue cultivator from a small place?
"Bastard! I'll kill you! "
Bu Yunfei roared in humiliation.
He had never been trampled on like this in his entire life. Where was his dignity?
Today, he had been forced to kneel on the ground in front of so many people. How would he have the face to stand in the Capital City in the future?
"No, you can't kill me." Jun Wu Xie looked down at Bu Yunfei and said, "It seems you are still not convinced? I've always convinced people with reason. Today, let's talk reason. "
"Talk reason, my ass!"
Bu Yunfei cursed. Who the f * ck would ask someone to kneel and talk reason?
"Your words have offended my sister. Shouldn't you kneel down and repent, and beg for her forgiveness?"
Jun Wu Xie was expressionless, but there was a vicious look in his eyes.
"I'll repent, you...."
Bu Yun Fei opened his mouth to curse, but before he could finish, Jun Wu Xie's palm suddenly pressed down.
There was a loud boom.
The ground where Bu Yunfei was kneeling sank by two inches.
The tyrannical blood and qi penetrated his body, causing his organs to shift. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Are you convinced by my reasoning?"
Jun Wu Xie's palm continued to press down, and Bu Yunfei's body continued to sink. The surface of his skin cracked, and his entire body was like broken porcelain.
"I..." Bu Yunfei felt humiliated. He wished he could tear this casual practitioner into pieces, but his cracked body made him feel terrified.
He didn't want to die. He was the young master of the Bu family, and he had a bright future. How could he die in the hands of a casual practitioner like this?
When he was about to admit defeat, a sword sound rang through the banquet hall in the distance. The sword intent spread out, and the temperature in the banquet hall suddenly dropped.
"You're just a casual practitioner. Who gave you the courage to behave atrociously at the Assembly of Sages? You don't know what's good for you!"
Murong Qi, who had been watching coldly, walked toward Jun Wu Xie. Around his body, there were several Sword Qi condensed by Genuine Qi shuttling back and forth. Every time he took a step, the Sword Qi vibrated, and a wave-like energy spread forward.
"Murong Qi, teach this rogue cultivator who does not know the immensity of heaven and earth a lesson." Muyang Qingya resumed her cold attitude and said, "After teaching him a lesson, let's have a drink, so as not to spoil the mood."
"Who are you? Do you want to stand up for Bu Yunfei?"
Jun Wu Xie looked coldly at Murong Qi, who came with the Sword Qi.
This person gave him a feeling that he was much stronger than any opponent he had ever met.
"I am Murong Qi, the son of the Murong family, an elite disciple of the Daiga Ken Sect! For a rogue cultivator like you to die under my sword, it can be considered as bringing honor to your ancestors. "
Murong Qi's steps were not fast, but his momentum was very scary. Along the way, the sword waves rolled, and people along the way kept retreating.
"I've heard that Murong Qi has broken into the Grotto-Heaven Realm. Seeing it today, it's really scary!"
"Murong Qi is one of the top young talents in the capital. He has outstanding talent and is naturally extraordinary. With him, that casual practitioner will not be a match for him. "
In the banquet hall, people were discussing and praising Murong Qi very much.
"Then come and try."
Jun Wu Xie was still in the posture of suppressing Bu Yunfei with one hand.
"You're overestimating yourself!"
Murong Qi sneered and waved his hand forward.
The Sword Qi shuttling around his body instantly rushed toward Jun Wu Xie. The fierce momentum made the space tremble.
Roar!
A tiger roar sounded from Jun Wu Xie's palm.
He faced the Sword Qi with a punch.
The golden Blood Qi condensed into a fierce tiger and rushed forward, colliding with the Sword Qi.
With a loud bang, the collapsed Zhen Qi sword light flew out in all directions, startling everyone and forcing them to retreat. Within a radius of ten meters, all the chairs were torn apart. Wine, pastries, and fruits were scattered all over the ground. It was a complete mess.
Murong Qi's face turned ugly when his attack failed. He was a little angry.
He was an elite disciple of the Daiga Ken Sect, an expert of the Grotto-Heaven Realm, but he could not take down a casual practitioner!
"Big River Sword!"
Murong Qi's arms spread out, and a thick stream of True Qi gushed out from his body. It was like a long river flowing backwards, and the sound of the sword rang out. The entire river of True Qi instantly turned into a giant sword, and with a buzzing sound, it slashed towards Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie's Blood Qi was surging and the violent power rushed to his palm and fingers. A dragon roar sounded in the hall.
Dragon-tiger Strength!
The Weapon Intent of the palm made the Blood Qi rush to his palm and fingers crazily, condensing into a golden dragon to meet the Big River Sword.
At the moment when the two collided, the Blood Qi dragon let out a long roar and twisted the giant sword in the air. The giant sword was broken into pieces of Sword Qi.
The next moment, the Blood Qi dragon rushed forward. With a boom, Murong Qi was blown more than ten meters away and hit a pillar in the hall, making the whole hall shake violently.
Puff!
Murong Qi covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. His back slid down the pillar and he half knelt on the ground, his hair disheveled.
Suddenly, the whole banquet hall was silent again!
Everyone was in a daze.
Murong Qi was defeated?
Murong Qi, who was in the Grotto-Heaven Realm, was defeated by a casual practitioner!
Such a fact completely overturned their cognition.
Chapter 47
How could Murong Qi be defeated?
He was a Grotto-Heaven Realm expert who had comprehended the Great River Sword Essence.
"You don't have the ability, but you want to show off in front of a woman."
Jun Wu Xie said coldly.
Murong Qi, who was half kneeling on the ground, was so angry that he spat out blood again.
"You," Jun Wu Xie pointed to all the people who were hostile to him and said, "who else is not convinced, come at me. Today, I will deal with all kinds of people who are not convinced! "
As soon as he said this, everyone in the banquet hall looked terrible.
A rogue cultivator who came from an unknown small city, was actually so domineering in this Assembly of Sages.
The young talents of the capital city felt ashamed.
This was their territory.
"Come, throw this person out!"
Muyang Qingya's face was as cold as frost. The Muyang family was also one of the organizers of the gathering.
Today, things had turned out like this.
If not for the fact that this person was Ji Inran's guest, she would have ordered him to be killed.
A group of Qi Condensation Realm guards rushed in.
"We will not leave before Bu Yunfei kowtows to my sister and admits his mistake!"
Jun Wu Xie did not want to stay here for a long time. To hell with this gathering. It was just a place for a group of hypocritical people who pursued benefits.
However, before Bu Yunfei repents, he will not leave!
Not for other reasons, but because Bu Yunfei made Yueyao sad!
"Do you want to die?"
Muyang Qingya's eyes were cold.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jun Wu Xie slapped her.
With a 'pa' sound, five deep finger marks were left on her fair and delicate face, and she fell to the ground from the force of the slap.
"Don't think that I won't hit you just because you are good-looking!"
Jun Wu Xie had wanted to slap her for a long time. If not for Muyang Qingya deliberately making enemies for him, how could things have turned out like this?
He just wanted to quietly wait for Ji Inran.
In the end, he was just sitting in a corner and disaster came from the sky.
"You … you dare to hit me?!"
Muyang Qingya's voice became extremely sharp.
In her twenty years of life, she had never suffered such humiliation!
For a moment, everyone in the banquet hall was stunned.
That rogue cultivator actually slapped Muyang Qingya!
She was the number one beauty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which man didn't want to hold her in the palm of his hand? He spoke carefully, afraid that if he spoke too loudly, it would damage his image in her heart.
Now, that itinerant cultivator had actually ruthlessly destroyed the flower without the slightest bit of pity for the fairer sex.
"Brat, you … you even hit Muyang Qingya, are you still human?"
"Of course I'm human." Jun Wu Xie sneered as he looked at the people who were staring at him as if they wanted to see through him. "I'm not a bootlicker like you guys."
"You …"
The men were so angry that their faces turned red and they almost exploded on the spot.
The word 'bootlicker' accurately hit the sore spot in their hearts.
"Brat, you dare to insult us like this? Don't even think about leaving this place alive!"
The men all jumped up as if their tails had been stepped on.
As if they had a tacit understanding, dozens of people rushed up in an instant to besiege Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie's eyes became colder and colder. He looked at Qin Keqing and said, "Miss Qin, take good care of my sister for me."
Qin Keqing didn't say anything. She silently walked behind him and hugged little Yueyao, who was sitting at the table with a worried face.
"Enough!"
Seeing that a big battle was about to break out, a cold shout came from the private room.
The Third Prince walked out with one hand behind his back. He glanced around and finally fixed his eyes on Jun Wu Xie. He said in a deep voice, "Let go of Bu Yunfei!"
"I'll let him go after he kowtows to my sister and apologizes."
Jun Wu Xie looked straight at the Third Prince. He was giving in.
After all, the Third Prince and Ji Inran were brother and sister. He thought that he should give some face to Ji Inran. When she arrived, the situation wouldn't be too embarrassing.
"How dare you!" The Third Prince's face was very cold. "Are you negotiating with me?"
"Your Highness, you're in the private room. I believe you know very well why today's matter has developed to this point. Bu Yunfei did something wrong and offended my sister. He should admit his mistake! "
"It seems that you're trying to reason with me?" The Third Prince's face was even colder. "Here, your reason is not important. My reason is the rule. Let him go immediately, or … "
Jun Wu Xie interrupted him and said, "What if I don't let him go?"
The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.
Many people were gloating.
This rogue cultivator really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He had injured Bu Yunfei, Murong Qi, and Muyang Qingya. Now he was going against the Third Prince.
As the saying goes, when the heavens go crazy, there will be rain. When the man goes crazy, there will be disaster. His death date was right before his eyes.
"You're seeking your own death! I don't care who invited you here. Don't even think about leaving here alive! "The Third Prince shouted after he finished speaking," Men, take him down! "
Instantly, dozens of guards at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm rushed out from the shadows. Among them, there were even two Grotto Heaven Realm experts.
The Third Prince waved his sleeves and sat upright on his chair, looking down.
Although this rogue cultivator had displayed astonishing strength, he had offended the Bu Clan, Murong Clan, and Muyang Clan.
He could use this opportunity to win the hearts of these young masters, nobles, and princesses.
If these three took control of their clans in the future, with their support, there would be no suspense in the battle for the throne.
Dozens of experts surrounded Jun Wu Xie.
Everyone crossed their arms, waiting for a good show.
Jun Wu Xie suppressed Bu Yunfei with one hand and glanced at the approaching guards. His eyes flashed coldly. His Blood Qi surged and his Weapon Will boiled. Sword Qi gushed out of every pore on his body.
He stood there like a treasured sword, about to be unsheathed to kill the enemy, revealing its peerless edge.
This Sword Will spread out, causing the weapons of the crowd to vibrate.
"Grandmaster of the Way of the Sword!"
Murong Qi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was shocked.
The muscles on his face twitched violently, and he was mad with jealousy.
A rogue cultivator had comprehended the Grandmaster of the Way of the Sword!
As for him, he had been cultivating in the Sword Principle Sect, Big River Sword Sect, and he had only just comprehended the Sword Essence!
"His understanding of the Way of the Sword has reached the Grandmaster of the Way of the Sword!"
The Third Prince's eyes were cold. He sighed inwardly. But no matter what, this rogue cultivator had to be killed. Otherwise, the heirs of the Bu Clan and the other two clans would be hostile to him.
"Go! Take him down, dead or alive! "
He gave the order again.
Clang!
Jun Wu Xie's Blood Qi vibrated and rushed out of his body, condensing into dozens of Blood Qi swords around his body.
He did not want to expose that he had comprehended the Way of the Sword, as he was worried that it would cause more trouble. Showing up as a Sword Cultivator could conceal his true identity.
"Who dares?!"
Just as the great battle was about to break out, an ice-cold voice that sounded like the sound of nature came from outside.
The next moment.
A silver light shuttled in like a dragon. With a boom, it stabbed into the center of the banquet hall, causing the ground to crack for dozens of meters.
A terrifying Spear Will shrouded the entire banquet hall, causing everyone to feel cold all over and find it difficult to breathe.
"Marshal Ji!"
Hearing the voice and seeing the buzzing silver spear in the center of the hall, everyone's expression changed, and they all looked at the entrance of the hall.
"Seventh Sister!"
The Third Prince suddenly stood up, his eyes uncertain.
Could it be that she had invited that rogue cultivator?
At this thought, the Third Prince's expression changed again and again.
If that was the case, his plan to win over the heirs of the Bu Clan, the Murong Clan, and the Muyang Clan would not be so easy to succeed.
Chapter 48
Ji Inran walked into the banquet hall, wearing a silver floral dress.
As soon as she arrived, the focus of the hall immediately shifted from Jun Wu Xie to her.
Muyang Qingya had the strongest reaction.
The moment she saw Ji Inran, her eyes were filled with hatred, and her beautiful facial features were slightly distorted.
"Who wants to kill the person I invited?"
Ji Inran stood in the center of the banquet hall and questioned. The hall was silent, and no one dared to look at her.
She was full of aura!
"Seventh sister." The Third Prince pointed at the seriously injured Murong Qi, Bu Yunfei who was suppressed by Jun Wu Xie, and Muyang Qingya whose face still had the finger marks. He said, "I didn't want to make things difficult for him, but look at what he has done. If I don't punish him today, how can I explain it to them, the Bu family, the Murong family, and the Muyang family? "
"Is that so?" Ji Yinlan looked at the third prince indifferently. "Why don't you tell me what happened from the beginning to the end?"
"Seventh sister, now is not the time to discuss the cause. We have to explain it to the three families. Otherwise, the royal family will be bitterly disappointed."
"So Third Imperial Brother is determined to kill him?"
The Third Prince sighed and said, "Seventh sister, now that things have come to this, I have no choice …"
There was a clang.
The silver spear vibrated and interrupted the Third Prince.
It soared into the sky and stabbed into the ground in front of the Third Prince. The spear intent filled the air and made the Third Prince sweat profusely. He sat down on the chair and his body almost went soft. His eyes were full of horror.
"If you want to kill him, you have to ask my silver spear first!" Ji Inran glanced at everyone in the banquet hall and said, "Who else wants to kill him?"
Strong!
The banquet hall was silent.
The marshal in front of them was the person that they could not afford to offend the most in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
She was not only the princess of the royal family, but also the marshal of the third army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She was also the guest elder of the Daiga Ken Sect!
Most importantly, she had a mysterious and powerful sect.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Ji Inran walked up to Jun Wu Xie and looked at him apologetically. "I didn't expect things to turn out like this …"
Jun Wu Xie shook his head and said nothing.
He was in a terrible mood today.
He just wanted to attend the banquet quietly, but he ended up being targeted for no reason. He even caused Yueyao to be called a little beggar in public.
He removed the palm that was suppressing Bu Yunfei and kicked him in front of Qin Keqing who was holding little Yueyao.
"Kowtow!"
His voice was very cold, with undisguised killing intent.
Bu Yunfei felt humiliated, but he knew that no one could stand up for him today.
With Ji Inran here to support this damned rogue cultivator, even if his father, the head of the Bu Clan, came, it would be useless.
Now, if he didn't submit, he would die!
"I was wrong. I was as blind as a bat!"
Bu Yunfei gritted his teeth and said something against his will unwillingly. Facing little Yueyao, he kowtowed three times in a row.
"Get out!"
Jun Wu Xie kicked Bu Yunfei away and took little Yueyao from Qin Keqing's arms. "Thank you, Miss Qin."
"You don't have to be so polite."
Qin Keqing shook her head. At this moment, she was still very shocked.
After parting with Qingyang, in such a short time, the young man in front of her was no longer the body cultivator who had just entered the Innate Realm.
He was now more than ten times stronger than he was then!
Such a cultivation speed, and he was a dual cultivator of body and sword, really shocked her.
"Let's go."
Ji Inran grabbed Jun Wu Xie's hand and pulled him out.
The silver spear in front of the Third Prince turned into a ray of silver light and entered her body.
This scene made the pupils of the people in the banquet hall suddenly shrink, and their eyeballs almost fell to the ground.
Ji Inran, the legend of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had high standards. Who could be so favored by her?
All these years, no one could be treated like this by her.
But this sword master who was suspected to be a rogue cultivator had this special honor.
She actually took his hand and left in front of everyone!
Qin Keqing looked at their leaving figures and was startled, but then she followed them and left.
At this moment, Jun Wu Xie was also a little surprised.
He didn't expect that Ji Inran would do this.
It was said that men and women shouldn't touch each other.
Wasn't she afraid that people would misunderstand?
"Today's matter, I didn't consider it thoroughly. I shouldn't have let you go to Juxian Manor first."
In the small courtyard of Juxian Manor, Ji Inran sighed.
Jun Wu Xie looked at little Yueyao who had fallen asleep in his arms. He turned and walked into the bedroom, put her on the bed, and covered her with a blanket. Then he returned to the pavilion in the middle of the pond and said, "You are not responsible for this matter, and I don't blame you."
"Then why didn't you say a word on the way back from Juxian Manor?"
"Yueyao was wronged, and I was in a bad mood."
"She is really lucky to have a brother like you."
Jun Wu Xie shook his head and sighed, "No, you said the opposite. I am really lucky to have a sister like her …"
"Did something happen to your sister in the past?"
Jun Wu Xie was startled and said, "Why do you ask?"
"I am just casually asking."
"Something did happen." Jun Wu Xie said with a serious expression, "She has fire poison and cold poison in her body."
"Many years?"
"I am not sure." Jun Wu Xie shook his head and said, "She is not my biological sister. Not long after my bloodline was taken away, my father picked her up from outside. My father did not tell me the details at the time. Later, my father suddenly died, and no one knows her background."
Ji Inran was silent for a moment after hearing this, as if she was thinking about something.
"Seventh Princess, you did not hesitate to offend your royal brother and several great families for me at the Juxian Assembly. Is it worth it? Are you not afraid that they will target you in the future? "
"Don't worry, they won't dare." Ji Inran was extremely confident when she said this. Then she said, "We are all cultivators. There is no Seventh Princess in front of you, only Ji Inran. Call me by my name in the future."
Jun Wu Xie was startled and said, "That is not good."
"There is nothing bad about it. With your potential and comprehension, your future achievements should not be lower than mine."
"Okay, then I will call you Ji Inran in the future."
Ji Inran smiled faintly and then said, "Today at the Juxian Assembly, you offended Bu Yunfei and Murong Qi. One of them is an inner disciple of the Daiga Ken Sect, and the other is an elite disciple of the Daiga Ken Sect. After you join the Daiga Ken Sect, you have to be careful in everything you do. You have to guard against them secretly playing tricks. "
"In a few days, it will be the examination day of the Daiga Ken Sect. I don't know what kind of sect the Daiga Ken Sect is."
Ji Inran looked at the water droplets rolling on the lotus leaves in the pond and said, "Perhaps it is different from what you imagine."
"What do you mean?"
Ji Inran was silent for a moment and then said, "Perhaps you do not know. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were originally two great sects. But for some special reasons, one of them declined."
Jun Wu Xie was startled and did not speak. He quietly looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
"Thousands of years ago, the most powerful sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty was the Sōgō Gakuin School, not the Daiga Ken Sect. Unexpectedly, the founder of the Sōgō Gakuin School suddenly died, and the Daiga Ken Sect took advantage of the situation to rise. In the later competition, the Sōgō Gakuin School gradually declined. There was an irreconcilable enmity between the two sects, and they have been fighting to this day … "
"If not for the fact that the Daiga Ken Sect is currently the number one sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I really do not want you to become their disciple." Ji Inran turned to look at him and said, "I hope that after you join the Daiga Ken Sect, you can stay true to your heart and not be influenced by the sect's ideas."
"What do you want to say? Can you say it clearly?"
"On the examination day, perhaps you will understand. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Sit quietly for a while. "
Ji Inran silently looked at the lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the pond. After leaving the capital, it would be difficult for her to have the leisure to sit quietly like this.
She liked this feeling. Unfortunately, she had not had the time to calm down in these past few years.
Jun Wu Xie looked at the demure and relaxed expression on her face and could not help but smile. For the moment, he did not say anything.
He was truly curious about this woman. It was very difficult to see through her. She seemed to have many faces and many personalities.
The valiant female general was her. The proud and cold aura in front of others was her. The demure and tranquil person was also her.
Chapter 49
Eternal Life Temple.
Jun Wu Xie fought with the mysterious woman's shadow to train himself.
After Ji Inran left, he began to cultivate again.
Recently, his cultivation level had risen too quickly and his foundation was not as solid. It was not good for him to break through to the Extreme realm.
For the next few days, other than fighting with the shadow, he spent the rest of his time in the Soldiers' Mound to train his body and purify his blood qi.
After a few days, his improvement was obvious.
On this day, the shadow dissipated and the mysterious woman in the ancient pagoda said, "Your foundation in the Connate realm is more or less solid."
"Does that mean I can try to break through to the Connate realm?"
"Yes, but there's a high chance of failure. Your body is still lacking."
Jun Wu Xie was stunned. "I'm already at the pinnacle of the Connate realm's Ten Transformations and have used various methods to strengthen my foundation. If I'm not confident, what else can I do to strengthen my body?"
The mysterious woman said, "To break through to the Connate realm, your body will reach the one-star peerless grade. Right now, your body is between superior and peerless grade. If you want to continue strengthening your body, the only way is to forge a two-star inferior-grade spirit weapon. "
Jun Wu Xie was speechless.
A two-star low-grade spirit weapon. A spirit weapon of this grade was priceless.
At the cloud ship auction, the one-star peerless grade chainmail was sold for eight to nine million gold.
If it was an offensive spirit weapon, it would be worth at least ten million gold. The price of a two-star inferior-grade spirit weapon was unimaginable.
It must be astronomical!
He was only at the Connate realm and needed such a thing to break through. The consumption was so terrifying that it made him feel suffocated.
On the other hand, other martial artists only needed a single Spirit Concentration Pill to break through to the Qi Condensation realm. And the price of a Spirit Concentration Pill was only a million gold!
"Seems like I don't have a chance to break through to the Extreme realm now. Even if I sell the fire python core, I'll have to wait until the auction to get a two-star spirit weapon. I won't be able to make it in time … "
Jun Wu Xie was speechless. He wanted to break through to the Connate realm before the test.
"There's a problem with your mentality." In the ancient pagoda, the mysterious woman reminded, "Your cultivation speed is not slow. You must have a clear understanding. Breaking through to the next realm required a solid foundation. It's like building a building. If the foundation isn't stable and you blindly pursue speed, there will come a day when the building will collapse in an instant. "
"Senior is right. I was too impatient."
"I know what you're thinking. You want to become stronger as soon as possible and completely eradicate your sister's illness. However, there are some things that if you are too anxious, it will be difficult to maintain a good attitude, and in the end, you will not get the results you want. "
"Junior will remember Senior's teachings."
Jun Wu Xie realized his mistake. He adjusted his state of mind and left the Temple of Eternal Life.
Counting the days, Daiga Ken Sect's assessment was tomorrow.
"The Flame Python beast core I have is a fourth rank Spirit grade beast core. If I use it for cultivation in the future, it will be an excellent resource. It's not worth it to sell it. I have to think of some other way to get the money to bid for a two star low grade Spirit weapon … "
With that in mind, he took out the Hunter's Order.
This Hunter's Token was not the same as the Beginner's Token. There were four Star stars carved on it, which meant that he was a Four-Star Hunter.
Qin Keqing had said that he could use this Token to inquire about and accept missions, including hidden missions that he had never heard of before.
When he activated the Token, the runes on it lit up and projected into the void, forming images and words.
"The runes in the cultivation world are really amazing!"
Jun Wu Xie observed curiously. After a while, he understood the various functions of the Token and began to inquire about the hidden missions posted on it.
"It's just some missions to collect Rare Spiritual Purity and kill high-grade Ferocious Beasts. Other than the higher difficulty and the higher reward, it seems to be no different from ordinary missions …"
Jun Wu Xie flipped through a few pages. As he flipped through, a strange expression appeared on his face.
"This is … an assassination mission?"
He saw a mission with a bounty. The target was actually Murong Qi from the Murong family in the capital?
Wasn't this the guy he had a conflict with at the Assembly of Worthies a few days ago?
The target's bounty was thirty million!
This Murong Qi was really worth a lot.
"It seems that the Six Great Families and the Four Great Families in the capital seem to be harmonious, but they are actually thorns in each other's flesh. Every family has outstanding talents that are being offered a bounty … "
Jun Wu Xie flipped through the bounty missions at the back and could not help but reveal a strange expression.
In the capital city, who else would be able to fork out such a bounty other than the aristocratic families and nobles?
If it were just rich merchants, there would be no need to offer a bounty on people from the Six Great Families and the Four Great Families. It was meaningless to them.
It could be guessed that the Six Great Families and the Four Great Families were most likely offering a bounty on each other's new generation leaders!
"Interesting. You'd better not provoke me again. Otherwise, I'll definitely earn this money!"
Jun Wu Xie was a little tempted. The bounty was tempting. Moreover, there was no need to go to the Hunter's Guild to submit a mission. He could submit it directly on the Token's interface and the bounty would be directly transferred to the Token.
This Token was not only a Hunter's Token. It also had the function of storing gold coins. It could be used directly in any business in the world.
It was obvious that the Hunter's Guild did this to ensure the safety of the hunters who completed the mission and to prevent information from being leaked and being retaliated against.
"Hmm? A reward of 50 million gold? " He continued to scroll down and a number for the bounty jumped out. It was very eye-catching and displayed in large numbers.
However, when he saw the contents of the bounty, his expression became rather interesting.
"Bounty Target: Jun Wu Xie; Target Characteristics: Dual Cultivator of Sword and Body; Target's Realm: Unlucky, estimated to be the Qi Condensation Realm. Bounty Amount: 50 million! "
"F * ck!"
Jun Wu Xie could not help but vomit. The corner of his mouth twitched violently.
Which prodigal was so willing to spend 50 million to buy his head?!
"If only I had a clone. I could kill myself and earn this 50 million …"
He sighed. He was destined to not be able to earn this bounty. He suddenly felt like he had lost 100 million.
"Who could it be? The only person who can afford this and has a deep grudge against me, other than the Bu Family, Murong Family, and Muyang Family in the capital, is probably the Third Prince of the imperial family … "
As he pondered, he continued to scroll down. Right after his bounty, he was shocked to see Ji Inran!
Someone put a bounty on Ji Inran?
Bounty Target: Ji Inran, Great Zhou's Seventh Princess, Marshal of the Three Armies; Target Characteristics: Spear Master; Target's Realm: Star Realm Ten Transformations; Bounty Amount: 300 million gold!
This was too much!
Ji Inran's net worth was six times higher than his!
"Am I that worthless?"
Jun Wu Xie stroked his chin. He could not help but think, who would dare to put a bounty on Ji Inran?
Who would be so bold?
Could it be an internal conflict within the imperial family?
He wondered if Ji Inran knew about the bounty on his head.
He continued to scroll through all the hidden bounties in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Then, he kept the Hunter's Token.
"The rewards for these bounties are very attractive, but it takes a long time to complete them. The easiest and most efficient one would be the assassination bounty. Bu Yunfei and Murong Qi are not bad. Anyway, they have a grudge against me. With their personalities, they would never let me go …"
The corners of Jun Wu Xie's mouth curled up into a cold smile. Bu Yun Fei, Murong Qi, these two heads, I will definitely take them.
It was a pity that no one put a bounty on Muyang Qingya. Could it be because she was beautiful?
"Hmm, after tomorrow's assessment, I will accept the bounty. Then, I will plan how to get their heads without anyone knowing …"
Jun Wu Xie made up his mind. He pushed open the door and walked out.
In the bamboo forest, laughter was cheerful.
Little Yueyao was playing on the swing. Su Lan was looking after her and playing with her.
Chapter 50
The next morning.
Su Lan arrived at Jun Wu Xie's courtyard early in the morning.
When Jun Wu Xie came out with little Yueyao, he couldn't help but be startled.
"I'll go to Daiga Ken Sect with you. I'll also take a look at this year's examination and join in the fun."
She smiled sweetly and walked forward. She squatted down and opened her arms. "Yueyao, let me hug you, okay?"
Yueyao looked up at Jun Wu Xie, as if asking for his opinion. Seeing him nod, she jumped into Su Lan's arms.
When they walked out of the treasure house, Qin Keqing was standing at the door. She seemed to have been waiting for some time.
Jun Wu Xie was slightly surprised and said, "Miss Qin, are you also going to Daiga Ken Sect to join in the fun?"
"No." Qin Keqing smiled and teased, "I'm going to see how you show off your prowess in the examination."
Jun Wu Xie smiled and shook his head.
… …
Daiga Ken Sect was just outside the capital city. It was very close to the city, only a few dozen miles away.
There was a mountain full of spiritual energy. At the foot of the mountain was a long flowing river, which was a tributary of the Cloud River.
Daiga Ken Sect was built on that mountain.
Looking from afar, the temple stood tall and majestic. There seemed to be sword energy that was about to rush into the clouds.
After crossing the river, they approached the foot of Daiga Ken Sect. Along the way, they could see many people hurrying toward Daiga Ken Sect. It was very lively along the way.
Of course, not all of these people were going to participate in the examination.
In fact, there were only a few hundred people participating in the examination. Most of them were just there to join in the fun.
After all, it was the number one sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty that was recruiting disciples. Naturally, it attracted a lot of attention.
There was a canyon ahead. It was the only way to Daiga Ken Sect.
The canyon wasn't very wide. It sloped upward and reached halfway up the mountain.
Jun Wu Xie raised her head and looked into the distance before she followed the crowd and walked forward.
After entering the canyon, an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.
There seemed to be an inexplicable sense of tragedy in this canyon.
They continued forward, and before long, the path gradually narrowed. A mountain path appeared in front of them. Above them was a line of sky, and the light was somewhat dim.
There were many stone pillars built on both sides of the mountain path, one every three meters.
There were lanterns hanging on the stone pillars. Inside, there was an everlasting lamp that emitted a weak light.
The moment he saw those lanterns, Jun Wu Xie's pupils suddenly shrank.
It was actually a human skin lantern!
No! It should be called a human head lantern!
Those lanterns were taken out after the human skull was shattered. The facial features were still intact, and the lanterns were lit inside.
Lantern's facial features were twisted and hideous. Blood was congealed at the corners of his eyes and under his eyelids.
"Are you not used to it?" Qin Keqing said softly beside him, "The world of cultivation has never been a pure land. On the contrary, it's very cruel."
"Who are they? How could their skulls be made into lanterns by Daiga Ken Sect?"
Jun Wu Xie's heart was really not used to it. Although he was very ruthless towards his enemies, but this kind of method was just too crazy.
At the same time, he found that the other people who were going to Daiga Ken Sect did not seem surprised by these human head lanterns. It was as if they had been used to it.
"They are the disciples of Sōgō Gakuin School for generations." Qin Keqing shook her head and sighed, saying, "Daiga Ken Sect and Sōgō Gakuin School have been fighting for thousands of years. Every year, they would choose their disciples to fight. Sōgō Gakuin School has almost never won in these years. The defeated disciples are all here, and they are the lanterns you see."
Jun Wu Xie was speechless.
The fight between the two sects was too cruel.
The disciples of Sōgō Gakuin School were made into human head lanterns after death. It was really sad.
"Let's go."
He sighed and walked along the mountain road. After passing through a line of sky, his vision became wider and the terrain became flat.
This place was close to the mountainside. It was a flat area on the mountainside.
At the end of the flat area, there was a huge sword-shaped stone tablet. There were four words engraved on it — Daiga Ken Sect!
Every stroke of these four words seemed to be intertwined with sword Qi. At first glance, they were like four swords that were about to leave the tablet. They were fierce and threatening.
At the top of the sword tablet, there was a female corpse nailed there. He did not know how long she had been dead. The blood on her body had turned black.
The female corpse's hair was disheveled. Her feet, hands, and neck were nailed. Her eyes were wide open. Blood flowed from her eyes to her face and solidified there. She looked very miserable.
"That was the former deputy leader of Daiga Ken Sect. Because she fell in love with the former leader of Sōgō Gakuin School and had a daughter with him, she was sentenced to death by the sect. She was hung on the sword tablet of the sect for twenty years."
Jun Wu Xie withdrew his gaze.
He finally understood what Ji Inran had said to him a few days ago.
There were some things that he could only understand when he came here.
Daiga Ken Sect was indeed different from what he had imagined.
At this moment, there were many people gathered in front of the gate of Daiga Ken Sect.
The disciples participating in the assessment stood at the front of the crowd, while the spectators stood at the back. There were tens of thousands of people densely packed together.
"Yueyao, wait here obediently. Once I join Daiga Ken Sect, I will be able to invite the sect's doctor to treat you."
Jun Wu Xie touched Yueyao's face. He pushed through the crowd and walked to the group of people participating in the assessment, waiting quietly.
Not long after, an old man and two middle-aged men came down from the mountain. They glanced at the crowd in front of the gate and said in a clear voice, "Today is the day of the assessment for the recruitment of disciples in Daiga Ken Sect. The first round of assessment is very simple. You have to reach the end of the stairs in front of you. Otherwise, you will fail."
Jun Wu Xie looked at the stairs. There were more than a hundred steps. It was not very high, but it should be restricted.
In addition to the stairs in front of him, there was another staircase more than a hundred meters away from it.
That staircase was covered with dust. It was obvious that no one had walked on it for many years.
There were many sword tablets on both sides of the staircase. The staircase was engraved with sword symbols. There were 99 steps in total.
"Is this the only staircase that can be climbed?" Someone pointed to the staircase engraved with sword symbols and said, "Can we take that staircase?"
"If any of you want to try, of course you can." The old man looked indifferent and said, "That staircase is called the Heavenly Sword Staircase. It was built by the founder of Daiga Ken Sect himself and set up a sword restriction. Anyone who can successfully pass it will be a sword genius and can be directly promoted to a successor disciple. However, over the past thousands of years, no one who stepped on it has survived. "
Immediately, the person who asked the question stopped talking.
"What are you thinking? You want to pass the Heavenly Sword Staircase? In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, perhaps only the Seventh Princess of the younger generation can try. The others can only die! "
Someone said so.
"The Heavenly Sword Staircase?"
Jun Wu Xie looked at it in the crowd. The sword symbols on it were indeed terrifying.
Others might not be able to feel it, but as a weapon master, he could clearly feel the terrifying sharpness contained in it.
At this moment, the old man standing on the high platform at the end of the staircase said, "Now, check your Great River Selection Tokens, and then gather in front of the test staircase."
Immediately, a group of Daiga Ken Sect disciples came forward and began to check the Sword Sect Tokens of the participants. Those who passed the check were arranged to wait in front of the staircase.
The process was very fast.
Two of them did not have the Daiga Ken Sect token and wanted to get away with it. However, their legs were broken on the spot and they were thrown out.
"Now, the first round of the assessment officially begins. The time limit is 15 minutes."
Following the old man's announcement, the participants in front of the staircase immediately rushed forward like a tide.
The moment they stepped on the staircase, everyone felt their bodies sink down, as if the weight of their bodies had suddenly increased by more than ten times.
