The twelve petals of the Golden Lotus bloomed, releasing an exotic fragrance.
After a while, the Golden Lotus slowly closed up.
Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu and could not help but marvel at them. These two were the best sky-prides in the world.
Thinking of this, everyone could not help but sigh.
God was so unfair. Not only did he give them stunning looks, but he also gave them unparalleled cultivation talents.
Comparing oneself to others was infuriating.
Everyone looked at the delicacies in front of them and felt that it was tasteless.
It was obvious that they were all shocked.
"I almost forgot to mention that the White Jade Hotel has recently brewed a new batch of wine. I'll bring it out for everyone to try."
Li Xingchen suddenly laughed.
He sensed that something was wrong and was trying to ease the atmosphere.
Soon, with his efforts, everyone regained their vitality. After a round of toasting, the banquet was finally over.
…
The next morning.
Chu Kuangren woke up from his cultivation.
As usual, he summoned the Fantasy Roulette and started the lottery.
It was a Steel reward, a hundred Top-tier soulstones.
It was almost the entire net worth of an ordinary cultivator.
Chu Kuangren did not even look at it. He threw it into the mountain of soulstones in his Yin and Yang Ring and began his boring day.
After leaving the room, Li Xingchen invited him to have breakfast.
During that time, he saw a group of people gathered in the hall.
It was as if they were watching something.
When he walked closer, he saw that they were all looking at the words on the wall.
"The White Jade Capital in the sky, twelve towers and five cities, the immortals touch my head, my hair is tied and I receive eternal life … What a good poem."
"Isn't the White Jade Capital referring to the White Jade Tower? With the beauty of the White Jade Tower, it could be considered a paradise on earth.
"Wait, look at the signature below. It's Chu Kuangren. This poem was written by Chu Kuangren. Is it the Chu Kuangren who declared war on the world?"
"This person has such literary talent …"
Everyone was discussing.
In their opinion, Chu Kuangren was arrogant and arrogant. He entered the world to declare war on the world, so he was probably the kind of arrogant person with no literary talent.
However, this poem was majestic and magnificent, expressing the beauty of the White Jade Hotel. It was so brilliant that it was hard to associate it with Chu Kuangren.
For a moment, everyone was shocked and emotional.
"He really framed it?"
Chu Kuangren glanced at the words on the wall and walked away.
After that, under Li Xingchen's guidance, Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu toured around White Cloud City.
When Chu Kuangren returned to the White Jade Hotel, an old butler came over with an invitation and handed it to Chu Kuangren. "Master Chu, this is an invitation from the City Hall. They would like to invite you to a banquet tomorrow."
"Oh, the people of White Cloud City are quite friendly."
Chu Kuangren smiled as he accepted the invitation.
He had just held a banquet last night, and today, someone came to invite him again.
Alright.
He wanted to pay a visit, but the White Cloud's Honorable Swordsman had been in isolation for a long time, so the chances of meeting him were slim.
…
People were coming and going in the City Lord Residence.
Outside the door, an old man was looking around.
When he saw the man and woman walking over, a glint flashed in the old man's eyes, and he chuckled as he walked up to them.
"Young Master Chu, Miss Lan, please come in."
"Uncle, you deliberately waited for us here."
"Yeah."
A strange look flashed in Chu Kuangren's eyes.
His Eye of Revelation allowed him to read a person's information, and in his eyes, this old man was a Battle Monarch.
For a Battle Monarch to greet him outside, did the City Lord Residence really have a lot of money, or did they have some ulterior motive?
Chu Kuangren vaguely felt that there was something fishy going on.
But he could not think of any benefits the City Lord Residence would gain from harming him.
After entering the City Lord Residence, the banquet was already prepared.
In the main hall, three men were sizing up Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu. These three men were Ye Baifeng and his brothers.
"I've long heard that the Black Heaven Sect's lead disciple is a rare peerless sky-pride with the potential of a Young Emperor. Now that I've met you, you're indeed extraordinary."
Ye Baifeng laughed out loud.
"Senior, you're too kind." Chu Kuangren smiled.
"Oh right, two days ago, Honorable Yuan Ling's treasury appeared. Did you go in and explore it? Did you find anything?"
At that moment, Ye Baifeng changed the topic and asked.
But Chu Kuangren did not blush nor did his heart skip a beat. Instead, he showed a regretful expression, "Although I did go in, I found nothing."
Hearing this, Ye Baifeng's forehead twitched.
Found nothing?
You've emptied the entire treasury.
And you still say you found nothing? How shameless can you be!
"It can't be. You're so talented, could it be that you really did not find anything?" Ye Baifeng said with a fake smile.
"I really didn't."
Chu Kuangren shook his head and smiled helplessly.
At that moment, Ye Baifeng's face was a little gloomy, and his tone was cold, "My friend, I'll ask again, did you find anything or not!"
If Chu Kuangren did not speak.
He had already guessed that this was a trap.
He just did not know how Ye Baifeng knew that he had taken everything from Yuan Ling's treasury.
"You already know the answer, why ask again?"
Chu Kuangren said calmly.
"My friend, if that's the case, then I'll be frank. The Ye family wants the Primordial Purple Haze, and we're willing to exchange it with a million top-tier soulstones. As long as you agree, you'll be our honored guest."
"What do you think?"
After that, Ye Baifeng stared at Chu Kuangren.
"I think you're out of your mind."
Chu Kuangren sneered.
A million soulstones for a Primordial Purple Haze?
Not to mention the mountain of soulstones in his Yin and Yang Ring, was this Primordial Purple Haze worth a million soulstones?
People would fight for a treasure like this even if it cost a million soulstones.
"How dare you!"
"How dare you insult me, you're asking for death!"
Facing the crowd's questions and curses, Chu Kuangren remained calm.
The Second Master of the Ye family also spoke, "My friend, this is the Ye family. If you don't agree, don't blame us for taking action."
Chu Kuangren smirked, "You can try."
"Hmph, cut the crap, do it!"
"Let's kill him here and get the Primordial Purple Haze first!"
The temptation of the Primordial Purple Haze was too great.
It was so great that some of them were blinded by their greed and rushed out without caring about the Black Heaven Sect behind Chu Kuangren.
Several different spiritual powers and Daoist Rhymes erupted and locked onto Chu Kuangren!
The weakest among them was still in the Paradise Realm.
Meanwhile, the old man who welcomed Chu Kuangren and Ye Baifeng also raised his hand to grab Chu Kuangren's head!
"Hmph."
A soft grunt was accompanied by a burst of Honorable Poise!
The few cultivators who rushed towards Chu Kuangren were instantly blasted into clouds of blood mist. In the void, the Seventh Forefather slowly walked out.
A terrifying Honorable Poise spread out unscrupulously!
"That's an Honorable!"
"His protector is an Honorable!"
The entire city hall was shrouded in the Honorable Poise. Countless cultivators trembled and looked at the Seventh Forefather in fear.
It was also Chu Kuangren's first time seeing the Seventh Forefather in person.
Although he was old and his body was a little hunched, his terrifying Honorable Poise was still enough to shock the world.
Chu Kuangren subconsciously used the Eye of Revelation to look at the Seventh Forefather's information, and his expression changed slightly.
