As the Blue Cloud Sect's Sect Master, Chen Xuanhua, issued his orders, the usually quiet and elegant Blue Cloud Sect suddenly became busy. All the disciples methodically carried out their duties according to the drills they had been practicing for the past half a year. In the short time it took for a joss stick to burn, the Blue Cloud Sect was already filled with spiritual herbs, treasured incense, and green smoke, giving off an extraordinary air of nobility.
"Elders Chen, Lu, Huang, the three of you, quickly go ten thousand miles away and set up a cloud carriage. After receiving the esteemed guest, lead the way!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Chen Xuanhua ordered. Immediately, three Foundation Establishment Elders left to carry out the order.
These three Elders Chen, Lu, and Huang were the ones who guided Fang Xing when he first entered the inner sect. They were all in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and had noble statuses, only below the four great Imparting Elders. However, in front of this esteemed guest, they were only qualified to lead the way.
"Elders Ru Kuang and Baoyan, the two of you, go three thousand miles away to receive the esteemed guest and guard him!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Receiving the order, Iron Like Madness and the Literary Valley Elder each rode a cloud and left.
"Elders Qing Niao and Shan He, the two of you, go a thousand miles away to receive the esteemed guest. Serve the elixir tea and spiritual fruits, and invite the esteemed guest to rest!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The two Imparting Elders of Vermilion Cloud Valley and Mountain Valley Valley also received the order and left.
Although their duty was to receive the esteemed guest, they did not feel the slightest contempt. Instead, they felt a faint sense of pride.
"The rest of the Blue Cloud Sect disciples, follow me to the mountain gate. When the esteemed guest arrives, perform the ancient etiquette and perform the celestial music …"
A Fuyao Palace's esteemed guest directly caused chaos in the Blue Cloud Sect.
At this time, Fang Xing, who was in seclusion in the Hidden Dragon Valley, could not hold it in any longer. He slipped out of the Hidden Dragon Valley. The two outer sect disciples who were supposed to guard him were directly kicked aside by him. How would they dare to provoke him? However, Fang Xing didn't swagger in front of everyone. Instead, he went to a place on Flying Rock Peak with a good view and looked at the bustling mountain gate from afar.
Around an hour later, a jade chariot that emitted an oppressive aura of treasure flew over from the northeast horizon. The jade chariot was around ten feet long and three and a half feet wide, and it was carved with intricate and complicated inscriptions. It was even to the extent that all the inscriptions were combined together to form numerous exquisite patterns that were both grand and exquisite. In front of the jade chariot, there were 18 yellow-turbaned strongmen leading the way. Beside them, there were 12 beautiful and nimble little maids and children. There were also a few old women with unknown cultivation base following slowly behind the chariot.
The three elders of the Blue Cloud Sect, Chen, Lu, and Huang, could only follow from afar with a cautious expression. As for the four great Law Imparting Elders, they could only follow behind the few old women. It seemed that even with their status, they were unable to get close to the jade chariot.
Before the jade chariot reached a thousand feet away from the Blue Cloud Sect, Sect Master Chen Xuanhua had already flown up on a cloud and greeted from afar. He cupped his hands in salute and said loudly, "The current Sect Master of the Blue Cloud Sect, Chen Xuanhua, respectfully welcomes the Fourth Princess of the Fuyao Palace …"
The jade chariot stopped for a moment and a faint voice came from inside the chariot, "Sect Master is too polite!"
Chen Xuanhua hurriedly said, "The Fourth Princess's arrival is a grand occasion for the Blue Cloud Sect. Xuanhua's hospitality is only part of my duty. How can I deserve the word 'polite'? Princess, please take it back. Don't embarrass me. Currently, there is a new palace in the sect, the Jade Base Hall. After it was built, no one has lived there yet. Princess, please move your jade steps and rest in the palace for a while. If there is a shortage, Xuanhua can make preparations … "
"That's fine too. Sect Master, please lead the way!"
The person inside the jade chariot spoke softly.
Chen Xuanhua immediately saluted again and led the way.
The jade chariot slowly descended along with Chen Xuanhua's cloud and hovered in front of the mountain gate. The inner sanctum disciples of the Blue Cloud Sect were already prepared. When they saw the jade chariot descending, they immediately played the flute and the zither, playing the zither and flute, playing the celestial music to welcome the guest. It was melodious and beautiful. There were even spirit birds and celestial cranes that were trained in advance dancing in front of the jade chariot. The place in front of the Blue Cloud Sect's mountain gate was like a fairyland.
"Sect Master, Xuan Si must be tired from the journey. You don't have to be so polite!"
The gentle voice from inside the jade chariot spoke again. Although it was polite, there seemed to be a hint of a smile in it.
Chen Xuanhua's face turned red. He immediately understood that the other party did not like the welcoming gift he had prepared. He hurriedly waved his hand and the disciples who were playing the celestial music put away their instruments. Another person came out and captured the stiff spirit birds and celestial cranes.
It was quiet in front of the mountain gate. Only then did the jade chariot enter the mountain gate. At this moment, an old woman following behind the jade chariot waved her sleeves and immediately put away the dozen or so Yellow Turban Strongmen and maidservants in front of the jade chariot. Only then did everyone realize that these lifelike Yellow Turban Strongmen were actually pieces of yellow cloth embroidered with talismans. Those maidservants and boys were just made of paper.
The jade chariot flew slowly and did not land on the ground. It followed Chen Xuanhua to the main peak of the Blue Cloud Sect. On the peak, there was a brand new and vast palace. Compared to the few palaces that the Blue Cloud Sect currently had, it was more magnificent and luxurious. Its position was also the highest. At this moment, the gate was tightly shut. The doors and windows around the palace were also tightly sealed with a secret technique, as if there was some kind of treasure hidden inside.
However, in reality, all these secret techniques were just to prevent dust bugs from flying in.
When they arrived at the front of the palace, Chen Xuanhua personally went forward to open the door. He immediately saw that the palace was filled with jewels and treasures. No one knew how many extremely valuable decorations were placed inside. They were all items that the Blue Cloud Sect had accumulated over the past thousands of years. Even the two old women beside the jade chariot could not help but nod gently at the decorations. They looked at each other and smiled, as if saying that the Blue Cloud Sect had indeed put in a lot of effort to receive them.
"Damn, how many good things are placed in that palace …"
Fang Xing clicked his tongue and said on the peak of the mountain far away.
The Golden Crow was also drooling and said, "It would be great if we could go in and loot it!"
"You're so useless!" Fang Xing looked at him in disdain.
The Golden Crow rolled his eyes. "If you're useless, why are your eyes so bright?"
Fang Xing said, "I was thinking that instead of looting this palace, why don't we kidnap the person in the jade chariot? She must be rich!"
The Golden Crow was completely speechless. He said, "With our cultivation, we'll be turned into ashes once we get close to the chariot. Kidnap … Think of something practical!"
Fang Xing said, "This is called having great ambitions. What do you know!"
At that moment, in front of the palace, the silk curtain in front of the jade chariot had already been lifted. A graceful lady walked down from the chariot. Her face was covered with a white veil, and she wore a jade pendant. She looked extremely noble. Seeing that she had come out of the jade chariot, Chen Xuanhua immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at her. The lady nodded at Chen Xuanhua and walked into the palace, not caring if he could see her or not.
The few old women behind her walked up. One of them stopped and put the jade chariot into her storage bag. She smiled at Chen Xuanhua and said, "Our master must be tired from the journey. We didn't mean to neglect you, Sect Master. Please forgive us!"
Chen Xuanhua hurriedly said, "I understand!"
The old woman smiled and said, "We have come from afar to the Blue Cloud Sect. We have disturbed you. Sect Master, please don't be so polite. In fact, we have come to the Chu Territory to ask for a favor!" She paused and said, "The Great Palace Master wishes to make a magical weapon, Nan Zhan's mental map. We need the distribution map of all the mountains, rivers, valleys, and towns within a hundred thousand miles of the Blue Cloud Sect. I wonder if Sect Master can help?"
"Map?"
Chen Xuanhua was slightly stunned. He knew that the people from Fuyao Palace were not here to have fun. They must have something to do. However, he did not expect that they wanted a map. He did not dare to ask too much and immediately agreed. "Since Fuyao Palace has given the order, Xuanhua will naturally give the order to measure the landscape of a hundred thousand miles of mountains and rivers and present it to the Fourth Princess …"
The old woman nodded and smiled. "Our Fuyao Palace is not the royal family. You don't have to call our master princess. You can just call her Fourth Lady Xuan. The most important thing is this map. Three months should be enough, right?"
Chen Xuanhua calculated for a while and said, "It should be enough!"
The old woman nodded and was quite satisfied. "That's good. Thank you, Sect Master!"
Seeing that she was about to leave, Chen Xuanhua hurriedly said, "How should I address you, Granny?"
The old woman smiled and said, "You can call me Granny Qian. If you have any problems in the future and it is not convenient for you to ask the Master, you can look for me!"
Chen Xuanhua agreed and said, "Xuanhua has already prepared a banquet. I wonder if the Princess … Fourth Lady Xuan …"
The old woman smiled and said, "Since Sect Master has the intention, the Master will not refuse. We will listen to Sect Master's arrangements!"
Chen Xuanhua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fourth Lady, please take a rest first. Xuanhua will make the necessary arrangements and then come back!"
With that, he excused himself and dismissed the disciples.
He also issued a decree that the disciples should not cause any trouble during this period of time. If they offended the honored guests, they would be severely punished.
After nightfall, in the main hall of the Blue Cloud Sect, spiritual fruits and celestial wine were already prepared. They were all top quality items that the Sect Master and the four Great Elders could not bear to enjoy. Then, Sect Master Chen Xuanhua went up to the Peak Master and invited Fourth Lady Xuan of Fuyao Palace to attend the banquet. The people inside did not delay for too long. Not long after, a few old women came to open the door and Fourth Lady Xuan, who had changed into a purple dress, came out.
This banquet's standard was too high. Only Sect Master Chen Xuanhua and the four Great Elders had the qualifications to attend. After sitting down, these five Foundation Building cultivators were all trembling with fear and respectful. When they talked, they did not seek to make any mistakes, only to not make any mistakes. As a result, they appeared taciturn and the atmosphere was very heavy. Fourth Lady Xuan did not eat the spiritual fruits, nor did she drink the celestial wine. She did not speak and was like a wooden person.
Sect Master Chen Xuanhua felt a little awkward and said with a smile, "Although the Blue Cloud Sect does not have many geniuses, we do have a few disciples whose talents are not bad. With the arrival of the honored guests, the Blue Cloud Sect is despicable and does not have much to entertain us. How about we summon them out to display their skills and liven things up for Fourth Lady Xuan?"
Fourth Lady Xuan still had no reaction, but the old woman under her nodded on her behalf and said, "Very good!"
Chen Xuanhua then nodded slightly at the four Great Elders, indicating that they could take out the things that they had prepared beforehand.
