It wasn't until the woman finished speaking that everyone in the hall came back to their senses.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the room on the second floor with deep reverence.
Everyone could see that the person who could use a sword ray to stop Hua Yunfei and create a crack in the ground was definitely a great expert!
The woman's voice sounded very young, as if she was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Some of the smarter youths immediately guessed that the woman must be a genius disciple of the Sky Pillar Sect!
Previously, everyone was very puzzled. Didn't the little prince say that the people from the Sky Pillar Sect would come tonight? Why hadn't they appeared yet?
At this moment, everyone finally came to a realization.
It turned out that the people from the Sky Pillar Sect had arrived long ago, but they disdained to sit in the hall with them.
The entire hall quietened down to the point that one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone looked at the second floor with reverence and didn't dare to make any noise.
Since they knew that the people from the Sky Pillar Sect were on the second floor, who would dare to be rash?
Hua Yunfei, who had been injured and spat out blood, got up in a sorry state and glared at Ji Tianxing with incomparable resentment.
His heart was filled with monstrous rage and killing intent, but he could only forcefully endure it and didn't even dare to let out a fart.
The genius disciple of the Sky Pillar Sect had already warned him.
If he dared to make a move again, the next sword ray would definitely kill him on the spot.
Ling Yunfei's expression was somewhat unsightly as a cold light surged in her eyes.
She secretly glanced at Ji Tianxing, then raised her head to look at the second floor, revealing a thoughtful expression.
"Damn Ji Tianxing! He was clearly about to die under Hua Yunfei's sword, but he was actually saved by the Sky Pillar Sect's disciple!
"What does he have to do with the Sky Pillar Sect? Why would that woman save him? "
She couldn't understand and couldn't see what was so special about Ji Tianxing that was worthy of the Sky Pillar Sect's help.
However, she thought about it and temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart.
"There were too many people at the Dragon's Gate banquet. It was indeed inappropriate to let Hua Yunfei kill him in public.
"However, Hua Yunfei has also tested Ji Tianxing's strength. He has indeed not recovered to the True Energy Stage, and is at most at the 9th level of the Body Refinement Stage."
"Since that is the case, once he leaves the Spirit Flame Palace, he will not be able to return to the Ji Mansion alive."
The dozens of young talents in the hall didn't dare to open their mouths. The room on the second floor was also silent. No one dared to open their mouths.
The atmosphere in the field was somewhat stifling, as if even the air had frozen.
At this time, Young Prince Ji Ling walked down from the second floor.
He had a modest smile on his face and opened his mouth to smooth things over. He told everyone not to be restrained and to continue exchanging pointers and showing off their strengths.
Of course, in order to ensure that there would be no more grudges, he sat on the main seat and didn't return to the second floor to serve the people of the Sky Pillar Sect.
Only then did the atmosphere in the hall ease up, and everyone's mood became much more relaxed.
Hua Yunfei suppressed his anger and humiliation and silently retreated to tend to his injuries.
Ji Tianxing didn't stay either. He silently cupped his hands towards the room on the second floor, then turned around and walked out of the hall.
In any case, his goal for coming to the banquet tonight was to see the people of the Sky Pillar Sect.
Now that he had achieved his goal, the people of the Sky Pillar Sect couldn't appear in front of everyone, so he naturally had to leave.
Ji Hao didn't leave with him and stayed in the hall to continue drinking and chatting with the other young talents.
… …
In an exquisite private room on the second floor, the furnishings were abnormally luxurious, and the air was filled with a faint sandalwood fragrance.
At a pear wood table near the window sat two young men and a woman in a white dress.
One of the young men was tall and sturdy like an iron tower. His skin was a bronze color, and his arms and chest were muscular. He emitted a ferocious aura.
This person's name was Hao Meng, and he was ranked ninth among the Sky Pillar Sect's True Disciples. He was born with divine strength and was incomparably valiant.
The other young man was thin and tall. His face was sickly pale, and he looked very weak.
In reality, he was ranked sixth among the Sky Pillar Sect's True Disciples.
His surname was Bai and his name was Wu Chen, but very few people knew his real name.
The powerhouses of the various countries in the Heavenly Chen Territory only knew his nickname — White Impermanence.
As for the woman in the white dress, she was slender and graceful, and her face was fair and beautiful. Her limpid eyes contained an unfathomable aura.
Her waist-long black hair was draped behind her like a black waterfall, making her seem even more ethereal and otherworldly like a fairy.
She was the chief disciple of the Sky Pillar Sect, the peerless genius who suppressed the young elites of the Ten Nations, Yun Yao.
The three of them tilted their heads slightly and looked at the hall downstairs through the wooden window lattice with calm and indifferent gazes.
Hao Meng stared at Ji Tianxing and watched as he turned around and left the hall, his back disappearing into the darkness outside the hall.
He retracted his gaze and turned to look at Yun Yao. He asked with a smile, "Eldest Senior Sister, that kid can clearly defeat his opponent, he's just hiding his strength. Why did you help him?"
Bai Wuchen also looked at Yun Yao with a gentle gaze, waiting for her answer.
However, Yun Yao continued to look at the hall below silently without any intention to explain.
As the chief disciple of the Sky Pillar Sect and the top genius of the Heavenly Chen Territory, why would she need to explain her actions to others?
Hao Meng smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head.
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Bai Wuchen also hurriedly changed the topic.
He looked at the crowd in the hall indifferently and said in a contemptuous tone, "If it weren't for completing the task given by the sect, why would Eldest Senior Sister participate in such a low-level and boring banquet?"
Obviously, he was very disdainful of the self-proclaimed young talents in the hall.
In his eyes, the group of young people who looked dignified on the surface but were actually sinister and despicable were simply as laughable as clowns.
Hao Meng grinned and said, "However, Senior Brother Bai, I think this Little Prince is quite capable."
"We asked the Little Prince to find a way to gather the young geniuses of the Qingyun Nation, but we didn't expect him to gather so many people in a day."
Bai Wuchen smiled slightly and didn't comment on this.
In his eyes, the Qingyun Nation was just a small and remote country. Even the top talents in the nation weren't worth mentioning in his eyes.
Yun Yao frowned slightly and said in a calm tone, "It seems that we won't be able to find the people we're looking for tonight."
She looked at Hao Meng and asked, "Junior Brother Hao, are the people who passed the sect's entrance test and are qualified to participate in next month's competition all here tonight?"
Hao Meng quickly replied, "Eldest Senior Sister, I asked the Little Prince before and he said that only a portion of the people who passed the test came to the banquet."
"Among the young geniuses who came to the banquet tonight, there are some who didn't pass the entrance test but their aptitudes are quite good."
Yun Yao nodded slightly and said to the two, "Junior Brother Bai, Junior Brother Hao, go find the two deacons who are in charge of recruiting disciples and are in charge of next month's competition. Investigate the list of people who passed the entrance test and see if you can find any clues."
Hao Meng was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Eldest Senior Sister, aren't you coming with us to meet up with the two deacons?"
Yun Yao shook her head gently, "I'm going to the Tai Ye Mountains. It'll take me a few days."
Bai Wuchen raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "Eldest Senior Sister, why are you going to the Tai Ye Mountains?"
Yun Yao said in a low voice, "It's said that there's a kind of spiritual medicine in the Tai Ye Mountains called the Red Star Flower."
"This flower is nurtured by the fire of the stars and only blooms once every sixty years. If I can get my hands on this flower, I can cure Junior Sister's illness and save her from the torture of the extreme cold poison."
Hao Meng and Bai Wuchen's expressions changed slightly at the mention of Junior Sister. Their eyes were filled with pity and sympathy.
Bai Wuchen quickly said to Yun Yao, "Eldest Senior Sister, I'll go with you!"
Yun Yao shook her head gently and said calmly, "No need. The Red Star Flower is a top-grade spiritual medicine and has a strong spirituality. Whether we can find it or not depends on luck. It's not useful with more people."
"You just need to investigate the people the sect is looking for and complete the mission as soon as possible."
