"I don't know. When we left, we informed the Heavenly Era Hall and Divine Era Hall, but they didn't respond, so we could only come here on our own!" Lian Xi replied to the Elder's question.
Upon hearing Lian Xi's answer, the Skycloud Academy's elder and the other elders knitted their brows in unison, but there was also a trace of helplessness between their brows.
Among the five great halls of the Sky Firmament Academy, the Heavenly Era Hall and the Divine Era Hall had a transcendent status. They had always been under the direct command of the Principal, Vice Principal, and the various Hall Masters.
This was especially true for the Divine Era Hall's Fan Changkong and the other two. They were the personal disciples of the Laozu Sect in the Sky Firmament Academy. Apart from the few Laozu Sect disciples, they obeyed the Principal's words. No one else dared to say a word to them.
The Elders of the Sky Firmament Academy could only command the disciples of the Small Era Hall and Grand Era Hall because they were from the Small Era Hall and Grand Era Hall. Even the disciples of the Sacred Era Hall could only negotiate with them and did not have the authority to command them.
Therefore, when they heard that the disciples of the Heavenly Era Hall and Divine Era Hall would not attend the banquet to welcome Xiao Fan and Long Zheng, they could only smile bitterly, unable to say anything.
"Forget it!" A Sky Firmament Academy Elder shook his head and sighed, then said helplessly, "The few Laozu Sect disciples should be well aware of this matter. They have their own plans, so we won't interfere!"
The other Elders of the Sky Firmament Academy also sighed softly and no longer mentioned this matter, pretending not to have seen it.
After a simple exchange of greetings with the Elders of the Sky Firmament Academy, the Sacred Era Hall disciples led by Lian Xi walked forward and prepared to take their seats.
As they walked forward, they also looked at Xiao Fan and Long Zheng, who were right in front of them. Their gazes were filled with various emotions. Curiosity, scrutiny, surprise … and so on.
Moreover, there was a lot of hostility.
However, this hostility was very fleeting and was very well hidden, as if it had never appeared. It was very difficult to detect.
As soon as Xiao Fan and Long Zheng entered the Sky Firmament Academy, they were treated with the greatest sincerity and courtesy by the several Laozu Sect disciples of the Sky Firmament Academy. They were allowed to use all the cultivation resources of the Sky Firmament Academy freely. Their authority was even higher than Fan Changkong and the other two Divine Era Hall disciples.
Most importantly, Xiao Fan and Long Zheng were only chosen by the Heavenly Stone Stele and were believed to be the prophesied people. Putting aside who was real and who was fake, Xiao Fan and Long Zheng did not show any advantage over the others.
In the Sky Firmament Academy, strength was everything!
Xiao Fan and Long Zheng did not have the strength to match their current status, so naturally, many Sky Firmament Academy disciples did not consider them as one of their own. In their hearts, they were hostile towards Xiao Fan and Long Zheng.
After taking a deep look at Xiao Fan, Lian Xi did not step forward. Instead, she found her seat and sat down. Then, she did not say anything and quietly waited for the banquet to begin.
The other Sacred Era Hall disciples did the same. They sat down one after another without saying a word, just like clay statues.
Not long after the Sacred Era Hall disciples led by Lian Xi arrived, another person walked up from the foot of the Sky Firmament Mountain.
This person was a young man with a tall and straight body. His long black hair casually draped over his shoulders. His face was like jade, his eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. His expression was indifferent, as if there was a vast universe in his eyes. He wore a white battle robe with two rows of crystal buttons and wide sleeves that reached his elbows. At a glance, he looked like a floating cloud or a dragon.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Wuqing!"
"Greetings, Senior Brother Wuqing!"
Seeing the arrival of this young man, all the Grand Era Hall and Small Era Hall disciples quickly stood up and respectfully greeted him from the bottom of their hearts. No one dared to show the slightest disrespect.
The number one of the Grand Era Hall, Zhao Wuqing!
"Zhao Wuqing!"
Seeing Zhao Wuqing's arrival, all the Sacred Era Hall disciples, except for Lian Xi, narrowed their eyes and a hint of dread emerged in their eyes.
Although Zhao Wuqing was a Grand Era Hall disciple, it was said before that he did not want to enter the Sacred Era Hall and compete with Lian Xi for the number one position.
This was because Zhao Wuqing did not have absolute confidence in winning against Lian Xi. Moreover, it was rumored that Zhao Wuqing had some feelings for Lian Xi. Therefore, Zhao Wuqing was willing to stay in the Grand Era Hall and not enter the Sacred Era Hall.
In terms of strength, Zhao Wuqing was the number one person in the Sacred Era Hall besides Lian Xi. Therefore, when they saw Zhao Wuqing's arrival, all the Sacred Era Hall disciples became incomparably dignified and abnormally fearful.
Zhao Wuqing nodded towards all the Grand Era Hall and Small Era Hall disciples as a response. Then, he swept a glance at Lian Xi and the other Sacred Era Hall disciples before his gaze finally landed on Xiao Fan and Long Zheng.
To be more precise, it was left on Xiao Fan's body.
However!
Looking at Xiao Fan, Zhao Wuqing suddenly smiled. His smile was incomparably brilliant, like a spring breeze caressing one's face. It was extremely warm. Not only was there no trace of coldness in his smile, it was as if he had seen his two battle servants and his own brother, Zhao Rong, who were killed by Xiao Fan. Instead, it was as if he had seen a good friend of many years.
Looking at Zhao Wuqing's warm smile without the slightest bit of killing intent towards Xiao Fan, the air on the peak of the Cloud Sky Mountain seemed to freeze at this moment.
Almost everyone's gaze shifted back and forth between Xiao Fan and Zhao Wuqing. Many people looked at Zhao Wuqing in a daze, almost not daring to believe their own eyes.
Zhao Wuqing, as his name suggested, was quite ruthless, and his methods were extremely cold. Not only were the Sacred Era Hall disciples incomparably fearful of Zhao Wuqing, even the Heavenly Era Hall disciples would frown when they saw Zhao Wuqing, unwilling to confront him directly.
A large part of the reason why the Grand Era Hall and Small Era Hall disciples were incomparably respectful to Zhao Wuqing was because they were completely afraid of him.
But now, facing Xiao Fan, this great enemy, Zhao Wuqing was actually as affectionate as if he had seen an old friend, smiling wholeheartedly. This made people unable to understand what Zhao Wuqing was planning.
"Greetings, God Child!"
Zhao Wuqing unhurriedly walked forward. Under countless bewildered gazes, he arrived in front of Xiao Fan, cupped his hands, and greeted him with a smile.
"Well said!"
Looking at the smiling Zhao Wuqing, Xiao Fan also did not reveal any coldness or killing intent. He only leisurely nodded and replied.
"Previously, it was my fault for not teaching properly, allowing my two useless servants and my reckless brother to offend God Child. They deserved to be killed on the spot by God Child!" Zhao Wuqing said with a smile, "I ask God Child not to take this matter to heart!"
"Boom!"
