In the Sacred City, the Heavenly Demon Sect and Immortal Sword Sect had secretly made their moves before the Three Sects Alliance. They had forcefully tied all the large and small vassal sects to their own warships.
As for the Beauty Sect, they had sent out messages to try and rope them in. It must be known that a centipede dies but never falls down. No matter what, even if Yan Bingyan was no longer around, the Beauty Sect was still supported by Yan Fanxin. With Yan Zhao Xue's assistance, the gains would not make up for the losses.
If he really wanted the Beauty Sect to submit, he would have to work on these two Yuanying cultivators. The Heavenly Demon Sect's opportunity had long been calculated. By roping Yan Zhao Xue in, the Beauty Sect would be branded with the Heavenly Demon Sect's mark, and the two sects would work together to deal with the Immortal Sword Sect.
The Immortal Sword Sect's Yuanying cultivators were Situ Ruiyu and Xing Yuan. Yi Tian knew that the two of them had some dealings with him, so he did not want to face them head on. This way, he could at least give them some face.
As for the jade slips and letters that he had asked Yan Fanxin to pass to him, they were all sealed with a special method. If anyone below the late Nascent Soul stage tried to open the jade slips by force, they would definitely suffer a backlash from the soul spikes that were connected to the jade slips.
After Yan Fanxin passed the two jade letters to the Heavenly Demon Sect and Immortal Sword Sect, she hurriedly left.
But in less than half a day, the two sects fell into silence, and did not continue to promote the Three Sects Alliance.
At this time, Yi Tian was sitting in the backyard of the Beauty Sect and was chatting with Yan Zhao Xue. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "The matter is done. I think that not long after, we will have guests."
Yan Zhao Xue was startled when she heard that. She hurriedly asked, "Did Yi Tian discover something? Please let me know."
After nodding his head, Yi Tian took out a jade letter and passed it to Yan Zhao Xue and said, "Tell your aunt to tidy up the courtyard. Then, follow the instructions in the jade letter. I will wait here for them to arrive."
Yan Zhao Xue hurriedly sent a message to Yan Fanxin. The entire Beauty Sect's encampment immediately became busy. Lanterns and streamers were everywhere, as if the sect was holding a joyous occasion.
The cultivators of the other two great sects were extremely puzzled by this, but due to the warnings of their Nascent Soul Elders, they didn't ask about this matter. Instead, they sent many of their sect's disciples to keep an eye on the Beauty Sect's movements.
Three days later, a jet black streak of light flew over from the horizon. The person leading the streak of light was none other than the late stage Heavenly Devil Sect's Grand Elder Yuanying, Dugu Tianfeng. However, at this moment, his face revealed an incomparably solemn expression. Ximen Kuangao and his great-great-grandson Dugu Ao followed behind him.
The three of them arrived at the Holy City, covered in dust. As soon as they entered the city, Dugu Tianfeng didn't even go to the Heavenly Demon Sect's encampment. Instead, he went straight to the Beauty Sect's encampment.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the courtyard of the Cha Nu Sect, only to find that there were big red lanterns hanging here. Looking at the color of the sky, it was already nighttime. The entrance of the Beauty Sect's encampment was wide open. Dugu Tianfeng walked over to the entrance and shouted, "Heavenly Demon Sect's Dugu Tianfeng is here to pay a visit. Sect Master Yan, please come out to meet me."
Not long after, a blue figure floated over. Yan Fanxin, dressed in a blue robe, came out of the front courtyard and welcomed the three of them inside.
While walking over from the front door, Yan Fanxin opened her mouth and said, "Today is a joyous occasion for our humble sect. Since Senior Dugu has received the master's invitation, please come to the rear courtyard to meet the newcomer. The sect has already prepared a banquet. Fellow Daoist Ximen and Dugu Ao, please take a seat. "
Hearing that he couldn't even meet the master, Ximen Kuangao's spiritual energy immediately surged, as if he was about to flip out. He shouted, "Even I don't have the qualifications to enter the rear courtyard to meet the newcomer. Isn't your Beauty Sect looking down on people too much?"
Yan Fanxin seemed to have already prepared and hurriedly explained, "Please don't be impatient. According to the rules, only those who received the invitation can enter to meet the master. If Fellow Daoist Ximen insists on going your own way, you can imitate Fellow Daoist Situ from the Immortal Sword Sect and break through the array in front of the rear courtyard. As long as you can break through the array, my Beauty Sect will not stop you. "
Ximen Kuangao's face changed and he asked in surprise, "That woman Situ Ruiyu also came. What was the result? Did she break through the array and enter?"
Hearing this, the smile on Yan Fanxin's face grew even wider. That smug look on her face was even more apparent. After a while, she replied, "Previously, when Senior Darknorth came, he also came in with an invitation. As for Fellow Daoist Situ, she is currently resting in the central courtyard with Fellow Daoist Xing."
Hearing this, Dugu Tianfeng's face changed and said, "I didn't think that Old Bei Ming would come so quickly. It seems like I'm late. You two can go ahead. I'll go in first. After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for their reaction and walked in with the jade letter in his hand.
Ximen Kuangao was startled. He looked at the situation in front of him in disbelief, then turned to Yan Fanxin and said, "Then let's take a seat. Otherwise, the Immortal Sword Sect will feel awkward alone."
Dugu Ao angrily said, "Martial Uncle, how can you boost the morale of others and diminish your own prestige? Let's go and test the power of the array. Situ Ruiyu and Xing Yuan might not be able to break through it, but it doesn't mean that we can't."
Yan Fanxin nodded her head and said, "That person said that Dugu Ao is a straightforward person. He will definitely not be frightened by the obstacles in front of him. His dao heart is steady, and he will definitely be able to walk further than Xing Yuan from the Immortal Sword Sect. "
Dugu Ao suddenly stopped and stared at Yan Fanxin, sizing her up before saying, "Those words really came from that person's mouth."
"Indeed." Yan Fanxin hastily replied.
Ximen Kuangao interrupted, "Martial Nephew, could it be that you know the person inside?"
"I can't be sure, but from his tone, he seems to know a lot about me. Furthermore, he knows about the dispute between Xing Yuan and me." Dugu Ao suspiciously said, "In this world, the only person who knows so much is that person. However, there has been no news about him for many years, so I can't be sure."
Yan Fanxin, who was leading the way, said, "You two don't have to worry too much. Why don't you go and break through it? Or maybe you can chat with the Immortal Sword Sect's friends. Maybe there will be some unexpected clues."
Ximen Kuangao coldly snorted to show his dissatisfaction, then sighed and said, "Since Situ Ruiyu can't break through it, then wouldn't I continue to lose face if I go? If that's the case, why don't we go to the banquet and chat with them? While we're at it, we can also ridicule the Immortal Sword Sect. Martial Nephew, if you have the idea, then go and play. I think that person set up the array just to test the people who come down. You're an early stage cultivator, so even if you can't break through it, it's fine. In any case, the middle stage cultivators of the Immortal Sword Sect couldn't break through it and retreated. "
"Martial Uncle, what are you saying? It's as if you're looking down on me." Dugu Ao shook his head and said, "But since that person arranged it this way, I think there must be a deep meaning behind it. If that's the case, then I'm even more interested."
After the three of them passed through the front hall, they arrived at a large living room. At this moment, there was only one table in the living room. Immortal Sword Sect's Situ Ruiyu and Xing Yuan were sitting at the table and chatting.
Ximen Kuangao didn't stand on ceremony when he saw them, and directly sat opposite of them. Soon after, he called for a maid from the Cha Nu Sect to serve them good wine and dishes. Dugu Ao and Xing Yuan looked at each other for a moment, then followed Yan Fanxin and walked towards the courtyard.
