"Exorcise demons? Do you think our Yao Nation has no one capable?! "
A cold laugh rang out as another group of people descended. A square-faced man dressed in embroidered robes stood with his hands behind his back, his cold gaze sweeping across the crowd. He exuded an intimidating aura without being angry. Behind him was a group of people, including Ji Meimei and Bai Ziliang.
Naturally, they were Yao Nation cultivators. Leading them was Yao Sage Ji Huan's son, Ji Dehai, who was also Ji Meimei's third brother.
Ji Dehai turned around and cast a cold glance behind him, then walked forward with his hands behind his back. Behind him, twelve people voluntarily stepped forward and followed him towards the encirclement.
Even though Lie Huan and the others didn't have a good impression of Yao Sage's people, they were invigorated by the arrival of powerful reinforcements.
In the grand scheme of things, the Yao cultivators in the Sea of Constellations were also members of the Yao Nation. Nominally, the Yao cultivators in the Sea of Constellations were under Ji Huan's command. Naturally, Ji Dehai couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
"Cloud Leopard, someone has a foul mouth. He's always talking about exorcising demons. What do you think, devil?" Ji Dehai asked as he walked over.
Cloud Leopard immediately burst into laughter. "I'm not afraid! I'll join forces with them to get rid of you first. Then, I'll wait for them to come and subdue me, the devil. I wonder who will be the one subduing who. We've always been the ones subduing others. I've never seen anyone subduing us. "
"Hmph!"
A cold snort suddenly came from the back of the Exquisite Refinement Sect's main hall. It wasn't loud, and didn't seem particularly frightening. However, it felt as though someone had snorted in everyone's ears.
Whether it was Zong Zhen, Lie Huan, or Ji Dehai, their expressions all changed. Everyone turned to look in the direction of the Exquisite Refinement Sect's main hall.
"Amitabha!" Grandmaster Qi Jie chanted the name of Buddha, seemingly relieved.
"So Old Man Feng was already here." Cloud Leopard chuckled, then turned to Fahai and said, "Fahai, exorcising demons is the slogan of you monks. I'll leave the matter of subduing demons to you." He turned to his own people and waved, then led the Devil Nation cultivators away. He was very shrewd, and not as reckless as he seemed.
Fahai's mouth twitched. He stood there unmoving, completely defeated by Cloud Leopard's words.
Very soon. Thirteen people flashed into the Grand Hall of the Exquisite Refinement Sect, and the one in the lead was Feng Beichen's disciple, Fu Yuankang. He led a group of people to take the place where Cloud Leopard and the others had left. He cupped his hands towards the crowd and said, "Everyone. My Boundless Nation invited everyone to participate in this grand event, not to ruin it. I hope everyone can give us some face and not spoil everyone's mood! "
His words weren't important. What was important was that he had someone backing him up to hold the fort. The large group of people surrounding Lie Huan's group dispersed as if nothing had happened. Fahai, who had been shouting the loudest for demon slaying, also stopped talking. He turned around and led his men away.
Yue Tianbo returned to his side, and Cheng Aofang asked in a low voice, "Overlord, what was that?"
Yue Tianbo said indifferently, "Feng Beichen is here."
Feng Beichen? Dao Sage Feng Beichen had also come? Miao Yi immediately looked around. He had never seen what the Six Sages looked like, so he really wanted to broaden his horizons.
After successfully dissuading everyone, Fu Yuankang turned around and waved his hand in the direction of the grand hall.
Ding, ding, ding. Three crisp sounds of gold and jade striking resounded throughout the mountain peak, sending out invitations for the guests to take their seats. The thousand or so people present immediately found their seats and arranged them in an arc. They didn't want anyone to feel that there was a difference in status between the seats.
Seeing Zong Zhen turn back to look, Yue Tianbo gently waved his hand and led the crowd towards Zong Zhen.
The Celestial Nation's Twelve Overlords arrived together with their people. Zong Zhen led them to their respective seats and sat down.
The Twelve Overlords stood to the left and right of Zong Zhen, with six on each side. Yue Tianbo suddenly waved at one of them and said, "Ouyang Guang!"
And so, the Fifth Earthly Branch and the First Earthly Branch sat together.
The two handmaidens, Chang Huan and Chang Le, stood behind Yue Tianbo. Even though they held high positions in the Fifth Earthly Branch, handmaidens were still handmaidens. There was no place for them to sit in a formal setting like this. Even Miao Yi had a seat, but the two of them could only stand.
That was why Miao Yi found it strange. Not only did the twin sisters, Wu Zhen and Wu Ming, sit down, they even sat at the same table as the white-haired old man. 'What's going on?'
Cheng Aofang and Feng Ze sat behind Yue Tianbo, while Miao Yi and Zhuang Youwen shared a long table, while Zhu Shangpo and Yan Ziqiu shared another. Once again, the four of them sat behind Cheng Aofang and Feng Ze.
"Who are those twins?" Miao Yi suddenly transmitted his voice to Zhuang Youwen, who was sitting at the same table as him.
Zhuang Youwen looked in the direction Miao Yi was looking at and replied, "Didn't you hear how the Overlord addressed them? That white-haired old man is the Overlord of the First Earthly Branch, Ouyang Guang. As for the twins, I've never seen them before, but I've heard that the Overlord of the First Earthly Branch, Ouyang Guang, has a pair of twin daughters. Since they can sit at the same table as Ouyang Guang, and even sit on his left and right, they must be his twin daughters. Why? Have you taken a fancy to them? "
"How could that be?" Miao Yi gave a perfunctory reply, but he didn't know whether to laugh or cry inside. 'No way? The one who molested me was the Overlord of the First Earthly Branch's daughter? How did An Zhengfeng manage to get the Overlord of the First Earthly Branch's daughter to serve as his bodyguard? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible. How could An Zhengfeng command the daughter of a local feudal lord to serve as his subordinate? The Overlord of the First Earthly Branch was someone who could communicate with the Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun at any time. Other than Mu Fanjun, there was probably no one else who could command such a person.
"Miao Yi, be careful. The Lady Boss of Tempest Tavern has her eyes on you." Cheng Aofang, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly turned around and transmitted her voice to warn him.
Miao Yi was taken aback. He turned his head to the side and saw the Lady Boss leading the carpenter and stonemason in the middle of a conversation with someone from an artifact refining sect. The other party readily nodded and stood up to make room for them.
The Lady Boss cupped her fists in thanks, then shot a glance at Miao Yi before casually sitting down. She sat next to Miao Yi, only three steps away, while the carpenter and stonemason sat behind her.
Miao Yi was completely speechless. 'What the hell is this woman doing? Feng Beichen is right here. If he gets exposed, he won't be able to escape even if he wanted to!'
Seeing the Lady Boss nonchalantly turn her head to look at him, Miao Yi could only glare at her. Unexpectedly, the Lady Boss transmitted her voice over, "I didn't want to get so close either, but I had no choice. You were staring at the twin beauties so preoccupied. If I didn't come over, your soul would've been stolen away. Niu Er, look at your shifty-eyed face. Are those twin beauties pretty? "
Miao Yi was impressed, but he still felt a little guilty. He explained, "It's not what you think. I'm just curious about who those twins are. How could they be sitting together with the Overlord of the First Earthly Branch?"
"Don't give me that. Ou Yangguang has twin daughters. Even I know that. Do you think you don't? What's the point of pretending when you men are so petty? You've never tasted twins before. You're itching for them, aren't you? Don't worry, I'm not related to you. I can't control you. You don't have to explain yourself to me. "The Lady Boss scoffed.
"I really didn't know … Lady Boss, you didn't come all the way here just to talk to me about this, did you?"
"Oh! You're angry! Fine. Just tell me if you find me annoying. I'll just walk away now. "The Lady Boss looked like she was about to leave.
Miao Yi hurriedly called out, "Lady Boss, can you stop fooling around? You've already scared me. I'm still on tenterhooks right now. How can I possibly be in the mood to think about what you're talking about? Do you know how I felt when I first saw you here? It was a huge surprise. My blood was boiling, and I wanted nothing more than to rush over and hug you. How can my heart contain any other woman other than you? How could I possibly be in the mood to think about anything else? "
The feeling he was talking about was exactly the same feeling she had before. It was the exact same feeling! The Lady Boss suppressed the sweetness in her heart. Biting her lips, she said, "I'm just joking. Why are you in such a hurry? Let me ask you, why did you come all the way here? Don't you know that you might be exposed? If I don't make things clear, people might start to suspect me. "
"How would I know that this Treasure Appraisal Conference has such high standards? It's not like I wanted to come. Our Palace Lord was the one who asked me to come. First, someone recognized me as Yan Beihong of the Sea of Constellations, and now you're pointing out that I'm Niu Er. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have come even if you beat me to death. "
"It's your fault for liking to do sneaky things."
"When did I ever do sneaky things?"
"You even stole someone else's wife, and you still dare to lie through your teeth?"
Miao Yi was completely speechless. He was instantly rendered speechless. At that moment, Cheng Aofang transmitted her voice over to join in the fun. "What did that woman say to you?"
Sitting so close to the Lady Boss, Miao Yi and Cheng Aofang could easily sense the fluctuations of their transcendence energy.
Miao Yi replied, "What else can she say? She hates me so much that she's gnashing her teeth and cursing at me." Now that he realized the Lady Boss had pointed out the truth, things were much easier to deal with. He now had an excuse to cover up.
Cheng Aofang asked, "So you're that Niu Er who infiltrated Tempest Tavern and infiltrated her side?"
Miao Yi replied, "That's not true."
Cheng Aofang raised her brows, but didn't say anything else.
The Lady Boss had also sensed the fluctuations of transcendence energy. She transmitted her voice over and asked, "What were you talking about with that woman?"
"Sigh! She asked me what we were talking about, and I told her that you were cursing at me. " Miao Yi sighed, then turned to look at Zhuang Youwen beside him. He noticed that Zhuang Youwen was looking at him suspiciously from time to time. Clearly, he had also sensed the fluctuations of transcendence energy.
Zhuang Youwen also transmitted his voice over to him. "You're so busy!"
Ding ding ding! The three sounds of jade clanking rang out once more. The commotion in the grand hall attracted everyone's attention, and they saw two people walking out from the entrance of the Exquisite Refinement Sect's grand hall.
One of them was a tall Daoist dressed in a black Daoist robe. His hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and his fair complexion exuded a sense of elegance. Three strands of inky black beard hung from his chest, and his eyes were cold as he swept his gaze across the crowd below. His expression was calm, and he exuded a domineering aura.
Beside him was a beautiful woman who looked like she had just walked out of a painting. She was dressed in a snow-white dress, and her figure was slender yet graceful. Her face was as beautiful as a dream, and her hair was tied up in a simple bun. She didn't wear any jewelry, and her entire person exuded a sense of elegance and purity. Her beauty was in no way inferior to that of Fairy Hong Chen and Fairy Yue Yao. It was just that her expression was a little dull.
"Feng Beichen has come out." A soft murmur came from nearby.
Miao Yi was surprised. He immediately transmitted his voice over to the Lady Boss and asked, "That Daoist is Feng Beichen?"
"Mhm!" The Lady Boss replied.
Miao Yi then asked, "Then who is the woman qualified to walk beside him?"
