In the central city regions of Lifire City, the region that Governor Xia Hou was in charge of.
There was an independent courtyard in the central city region. Recently, there would often be people coming here to pay a visit. Because, that formation grandmaster was temporarily staying here.
At this moment, at the entrance of the courtyard, many people came here, requesting to see the formation grandmaster. However, all of them were stopped by a serving girl. Although this serving girl's cultivation base wasn't high, only at the immortal king realm, no one dared to be disrespectful to her. In addition, her looks were extremely outstanding and she exuded a sense of experience.
"Fairy, we do have an important matter to seek an audience with the grandmaster." The people outside the courtyard clasped their hands to the serving girl.
"Grandmaster Di is currently focused on researching formations and doesn't have much time. Everyone, please come again another day." The serving girl clasped her hands to everyone.
"I wish to invite the grandmaster to inscribe a grand formation for me. I will definitely not mistreat the grandmaster. Fairy, please pass the message to him." Someone insisted.
"Do you all think that the grandmaster lacks cultivation resources?" The serving girl laughed, causing everyone to be speechless. Indeed, a powerful formation grandmaster wouldn't lack cultivation resources. Also, before this, this grandmaster had already proven his attainments in the dao of formations in Lifire City. Seems like during these days, the reason why he acted was because he wanted to become famous. Only then would he be able to gain more attention and at the same time, he would be able to earn more cultivation resources.
Right now, this grandmaster was already famous. In the future, he naturally wouldn't lack cultivation resources.
"What arrogant airs." At this moment, a person coldly snorted. The gazes of everyone turned over as they felt bewildered. There was actually someone here to create trouble? Offending a powerful formation grandmaster wasn't a wise thing to do.
"It's not that Grandmaster Di is arrogant. It's just that he is indeed cultivating. If you want to say this, I have nothing to say." The serving girl smiled and shook her head. She could still maintain her composure even when facing an immortal emperor.
"Hmph." That person snorted coldly. "Although this formation grandmaster is strong, he is merely an initial-stage immortal emperor grandmaster. The strength of a single person is limited and there are many aristocratic clans that specialize in formations in Lifire City."
When everyone heard this, they looked at the newcomer curiously, revealing a look of interest.
"Senior, what do you want to say?" That serving girl was still as polite as ever.
"I come from the Yan Clan." That person faintly spoke, his calm tone didn't conceal his arrogance at all. The eyes of the experts in the surroundings flashed before smiles appeared on their faces as they clasped their hands together, "So it's the Yan Clan, we apologize for our rudeness."
Many people walked up to talk to him, but he only nodded lightly, his face full of pride.
The Yan Clan was an aristocrat clan that specialized in formations in Lifire City. There were many powerful formation experts in this clan and they had a transcendent status in Lifire City. Many of the constructions and formations in Lifire City were inscribed by them. When the major powers wanted to inscribe formations, they would respectfully pay a visit to them and pay a high price to hire them.
Right now, someone from the Yan Clan appeared here. The hearts of everyone were as clear as a mirror. This undoubtedly proved how powerful Grandmaster Di's formations were. He actually managed to attract the attention of the Yan Clan.
"And then?" The serving girl smiled.
"My Yan Clan is preparing to gather some independent formation grandmasters in the central regions of Lifire City to discuss the dao of formations. At that time, my Yan Clan will take out some rewards and even invite the most outstanding ones among these independent formation grandmasters to become guest elders of my Yan Clan. Hence, I intentionally came here to invite Grandmaster Qin to participate. Who would have thought that I wouldn't even be able to enter the door." That person's tone was filled with arrogance, causing the eyes of many to gleam with a strange light.
Although they said they wanted to discuss the dao of formations, in truth, it was a competition in the dark. In addition, the Yan Clan invited independent formation grandmasters and even said that they would take out rewards to invite the most outstanding ones to become guest elders of the Yan Clan. This was a lofty and lofty attitude, wanting to use this to raise the status of the Yan Clan, making it seem as though they were above these independent formation grandmasters.
The Yan Clan had always felt that they were an aristocrat clan that specialized in formations. In truth, they did have such capabilities. In that case, there was no need to explain why they did this. They wanted to let everyone see that their Yan Clan was far from what those formation grandmasters outside could compare to. They were an aristocrat clan with deep foundations.
"Grandmaster Di wouldn't do such a senseless thing." The serving girl didn't ask and directly replied with a smile. Everyone here was intelligent, how could they not understand the meaning of the other party's words?
The eyes of that person from the Yan Clan flashed with sharpness. "Impudent. Do you know who the person who invited you is? You are just a little lass, yet you dare to reject him directly? You call this a senseless thing? "
"Senior, please calm your anger." The serving girl wasn't frightened. She merely bowed and spoke humbly, "I understand the personality of my grandmaster. To him, this is truly senseless."
"In that case, you can go and ask this grandmaster of your clan. I want to hear for myself how senseless this is exactly." The person from the Yan Clan felt that his pride was being trampled on. A newly established formation grandmaster actually dared to be so arrogant? He didn't even have their Yan Clan in his eyes.
"Senior, why must you make things difficult for me?" The serving girl bitterly smiled.
"BOOM!" That expert from the Yan Clan stepped out, his aura was tyrannical, causing the serving girl to groan in pain.
"Impudent." At this moment, a cold voice rang out from the courtyard. After that, that expert from the Yan Clan inclined his head and stared in.
"Grandmaster Di, what do you think of my invitation?" That expert from the Yan Clan directly asked.
"I'm not interested. Someone from the Yan Clan bullied my serving girl. Three days later, I will directly head to the Yan Clan to seek guidance from them in the dao of formations." A voice rang out, causing the eyes of many to gleam with sharpness as their hearts involuntarily trembled.
This Grandmaster Di not only rejected the Yan Clan, he even wanted to challenge the Yan Clan, an aristocrat clan that specialized in formations. He actually wanted to seek guidance from them? Too arrogant.
The Yan Clan invited unaffiliated formation grandmasters to a gathering, wanting to show their arrogance. However, this Grandmaster Di directly ignored them and chose to pay a visit instead.
Seems like this Grandmaster Di was as the rumors said, an extremely arrogant person. However, he did have the qualifications to be arrogant. However, wasn't it a little too rash for him to directly pay a visit to the Yan Clan?
The expression of that expert from the Yan Clan instantly turned unsightly. In truth, his Yan Clan had done this before. Many unaffiliated formation grandmasters were willing to participate because their performance was outstanding. If they could become a guest elder of the Yan Clan, they would undoubtedly gain the recognition of the aristocrat clan. Others wouldn't suspect that their proficiency in formations was just bragging. In addition, the identity of a guest elder of the Yan Clan would be able to raise their status by a lot. This was a win-win situation for the Yan Clan.
But this person before him not only didn't give them face, he even spoke such arrogant words.
"You overestimate yourself. You aren't qualified yet." That expert from the Yan Clan coldly spoke.
"Go back and report. Three days later, I, Di, will head there. At that time, I, Di, will welcome everyone from Lifire City to come and watch. Scram." That voice impolitely chased the guest away.
"Kacha." That expert from the Yan Clan clenched his fists tightly, causing a crisp sound to ring out. His face turned ashen. He flicked his sleeves and coldly spoke, "Since you want to court humiliation, I'll wait for you then."
After speaking, he directly flicked his sleeves and departed.
"Grandmaster Di, are you really going to pay a visit to the Yan Clan three days later?" Someone asked.
"I have something to discuss with Grandmaster Di. Can we meet?"
"Everyone, please leave first. Three days later, I'll see you all at the Yan Clan." A calm voice rang out from within. Everyone knew that they wouldn't have a chance to see this formation grandmaster. A person who even dared to provoke the Yan Clan, he naturally wouldn't go back on his words. Hence, all of them respectively departed.
After everyone left, the serving girl returned to the courtyard. In there, a black-robed figure with a mask sat cross-legged.
"Sir, do you really want to go?" The serving girl asked.
"Mhm." The black-robed figure nodded.
"The Yan Clan is an aristocrat clan that specializes in formations. If Sir can defeat some of the grandmasters of the Yan Clan, your fame would surely soar. At that time, there would be even more major powers inviting you to join them." The serving girl smiled sweetly, appearing even more beautiful. But what made her feel a little disappointed was that this mysterious expert who had saved her life before, from the start to the end, had no interest in her beauty at all. In fact, he had never seriously observed her countenance. Maybe, if it wasn't for the fact that he needed someone to help him with some matters, he wouldn't even allow her to follow him.
Sometimes, she would wonder what sort of person he was exactly. Under that mask, what sort of countenance was there? She was extremely curious.
…
A piece of news rapidly circulated through Lifire City. Recently, the famous formation grandmaster Grandmaster Di would be visiting the Yan Clan three days later. In addition, he wasn't there to pay a visit, he was there to issue a challenge.
For a period of time, many major powers cast their gazes over, feeling that this was extremely interesting. The Yan Clan has been established in Lifire City for many years and was famous for its formations. But as they developed, they gained vast amounts of resources and their martial arts were also extremely powerful. However, a newly famous formation grandmaster actually dared to come to their door to issue a challenge? How audacious.
However, when some people thought of the status of the Yan Clan, they guessed that maybe this formation grandmaster wanted to borrow the Yan Clan's name to let more people know of his existence. After all, it was very normal for him to lose to the Yan Clan. Or to put it more accurately, it was something inevitable. However, he had already attracted the attention of Lifire City.
One couldn't help but say that this was a chess move. Most probably, the Yan Clan had been made use of by someone.
Hence, many people were waiting.
Three days passed by very quickly.
The Yan Aristocrat Clan occupied a vast amount of land and was an extremely powerful aristocrat clan. Outside the aristocrat clan, there was a vast area where many people gathered. All of them were interested in the matter of Grandmaster Di paying a visit. Among these people, there were many experts from major powers.
After all, this was a formation grandmaster challenging an aristocrat clan. Even if he was defeated, they could still take the opportunity to recruit a formation grandmaster.
"He's here." At this moment, a voice rang out. From afar, two figures appeared. One was a master and the other was a servant. The servant had a calm expression on her face but her heart wasn't as calm as she appeared.
As for the rumored Grandmaster, he was still as mysterious as ever. He wore a cold mask, and his aura was very cold. His long black hair draped over his shoulders, and his entire person emitted a cold and sharp aura. His ramrod straight body seemed to be filled with the pride in his bones.
