Along the way, Yi Tian noticed that many cultivators around him were looking at him with envy. To be exact, they were staring at the golden invitation in his hand. However, the female attendants of the Cha Nu Sect were used to it and were maintaining order at the scene.
When he reached the entrance of the palace, a deacon came forward to welcome him. After taking Yi Tian's invitation, he began to check it one by one.
It seemed that the invitations were specially made, and each one corresponded to a special stub. However, after the deacon checked thoroughly, he did not find any information. He raised his head and asked doubtfully, "Brother Yi, right? Who sent you this invitation? "
Hearing this, Yi Tian frowned slightly and thought to himself, "Yan Zhaoxue, this little girl, really did not finish her work well. She made such a mistake, but it is hard to say that she personally gave it to me on the bull-cart. Otherwise, most of the people here will explode and chop me up."
He put on a calm expression and said, "I am a guest of the Immortal Sword Sect. The invitation was given to me by fellow daoist Hong Luanxin."
The deacon looked at it suspiciously, then picked up the communication jade tablet and sent a message to verify. This time, some strange sounds came from the crowd of cultivators who were waiting for the test. Fortunately, in less than half a quarter of an hour, Hong Luanxin personally came to the door and spoke to the deacon.
Then, in front of everyone, she admitted that she had just sent the invitation, because Yi Tian was the number one refiner in the Western Wasteland, Jin Dan. He was definitely qualified to receive the invitation.
Only then did the surrounding people turn their heads and look at Yi Tian with envious and worshipful gazes. The whole place returned to silence.
Then, Yi Tian followed Hong Luanxin slowly into the Madonna Palace. This time, the marriage banquet was held in the main hall of the Madonna Palace. Along the way, Yi Tian noticed that several female attendants were secretly sizing him up. Yi Tian opened his mouth and asked softly, "Fellow Daoist Hong, thank you so much this time. I wonder how Yan Zhaoxue arranged this matter. The little lass always makes mistakes when she does things."
Who would have thought that Hong Luan's heart was neither cold nor warm as she said, "Young Master is resting in the rear hall. He will come to the main hall to meet with all of you in a moment. I am only obeying the Sect Head's orders to bring Brother Yi here."
After being rebuffed, Yi Tian could only smile awkwardly. Obviously, she knew something about Hong Luanjing, so she had some opinions about him.
After that, he didn't say anything else and just followed her in quickly.
A good number of cultivators were seated within the hall. A rough glance revealed that there were over ten of them. Additionally, those with invitations were seated at the front few tables.
Yin Jie and Xing Lin, who had entered earlier, were seated at two tables on the right side of the hall. Next to them were a middle-aged cultivator and a monk. The two of them didn't speak much. The middle-aged cultivator was just drinking wine, while the monk was sitting in meditation with his eyes closed.
Yi Tian understood that these two should be the guests from the Central Region, Master Gu and Monk Hui Yuan.
On the right side were Heavenly Devil Sect's Dugu Ao and Huo Chilian. It could be seen that the two of them had dressed up meticulously. As for Huo Yunbiao, he was sitting behind Huo Chilian. He was holding a wine cup in one hand. He seemed to be drinking wine, but he was actually sizing up the participants.
Sitting next to Huo Chilian were the representatives of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, Li Cunzhi and Guo Bingnan. The two of them were wearing the robes of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, so they could be recognized at a glance.
Sitting in the front were the guests invited by the big sects. The few tables behind them were the masters of the aristocratic clans and rogue cultivators. Everyone had a big red gilded invitation on their table.
As for the few tables further away, they were the cultivators who had passed the test. However, there were only a few of them. At this time, Yi Tian couldn't help but think that he had underestimated the test. There were dozens of people waiting outside for the test, but no one had come in for a long time.
No wonder he had been criticized for taking the wild card and directly rushing into the second test. Or it could be said that they were envious. It seemed that Yan Zhaoxue had high expectations of him.
After walking forward and greeting everyone, Hong Luanxin indicated that Yi Tian's seat was behind Yin Jie's table. But when Yi Tian passed by Monk Hui Yuan's table, he clearly saw that the monk opened his eyes and carefully looked at him. Then, the monk nodded with a smile.
Although he didn't have any interaction with him, he naturally couldn't lack the necessary etiquette. He also slightly nodded in return. On the contrary, Master Gu, who was sitting to the side, put down his cup and stared at Yi Tian. Then, he turned his head and privately transmitted with Monk Hui Yuan.
Ignoring the small movements of the two, Yi Tian also hurriedly passed by their table. This Master Gu clearly came to seek revenge. As the main character, he couldn't be seen through at this time.
Moreover, the tracking blood contract had already been removed. Master Gu probably couldn't be sure that he was the one who killed Gu Canglang.
After sitting down, Yin Jie turned his head and said, "Junior Martial Brother Yi is really lucky to be able to get an invitation so quickly. It seems that the Cha Nu Sect still respects your name and gave you some face."
Fortunately, he still had the name of a refiner. He believed that people who knew him would think that way. As long as he didn't expose his relationship with Yan Zhaoxue, it would be fine.
After listening, he nodded his head and replied, "Senior Martial Brother Yin, you flatter me. I only have a bit of an undeserved reputation. Moreover, this time, I even implicated Fellow Hong Luanjing. Presumably, I will have to spend a lot of effort to resolve this matter."
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of a gong coming from the entrance of the palace. After that, a female servant brought a cultivator into the main hall. Looking up, it was Xing Yuan. The surrounding cultivators in the front row all turned around to look at the entrance. They wanted to see who it was.
At this time, he was walking without any change in his expression. The cultivators in the back row all raised their heads to look at him. Their eyes were filled with reverence.
But when they saw that Xing Yuan was wearing the Immortal Sword Sect's disciple robes, they understood and nodded their heads. These people who had passed the test to enter the main hall all knew that if they wanted to ring the Heaven Piercing Gong once, they would definitely not be able to do so without some strength.
On the contrary, the cultivators sitting in the front with the invitation were all secretly despised by the people behind them.
The female servant who led the way arranged for Xing Yuan to sit at the back of the first row on the left. However, after Xing Yuan lowered his head and said a few words, the female servant led him to sit in the second row behind Xing Lin.
After Xing Yuan sat down, Yi Tian picked up his wine cup and said to Xing Yuan, "Senior Martial Brother Xing is truly formidable. With one move, you managed to subdue everyone here."
"Don't mention it, don't mention it. I only used some tricks. I came here this time to escort Brother Lin." After speaking, Xing Yuan turned his head and said to Dugu Ao, who was seated on the right, "Brother Dugu, it has been many years since we last met. If we have the chance to meet again today, we must find an opportunity to spar."
It seemed that Xing Yuan regarded Dugu Ao as his biggest opponent in this competition. He believed that as long as he could delay Xing Lin, he would have a chance to win. However, Xing Lin was only an early Jin Dan Realm cultivator. It seemed that he would be in a difficult situation.
Fortunately, Dugu Ao had come here to consider how to deal with this situation. Originally, he wanted to receive the help of Yi Tian and Crimson Flame. However, seeing that his old rival had appeared, he could not help but be overjoyed. Now, he had a ready-made excuse.
Dugu Ao smiled and put down his wine cup. He stood up and saluted, "Fellow Daoist Xing, last time, during the Sect's Foundation Establishment Competition, I had an unfair advantage. I hope that this time, we can fight evenly and fulfill my wish."
