What? Master, y-you're saying that an Emperor's Throne powerhouse broke into the Jade Lake Sacred Land at night?! "
In the room, Hu Lei sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Hu Baimei and the rest in shock.
He was not the only one. All the Hu family disciples, including Hu Fei and the rest, had disbelief in their eyes.
They had heard the cries of the Nine Eagle Phoenix earlier, but they didn't associate it with a strong cultivator of the Emperor's Throne Realm. Now that Hu Baimei and the others had told them about it, they finally understood.
How could they not be shocked?
A peerless sect like the Jade Lake Sacred Land was like a mountain that the Hu family had to look up to. However, it was almost overturned by someone, and even the Sacred Mountain Guardian Beast was beaten half to death?
"That's right!"
Hu Baimei forcefully suppressed the shock in her heart and said in a deep voice, "Therefore, during the Jade Lake Convention, no one is allowed to go out without my orders!"
"Alright!"
Hu Lei and the rest immediately agreed.
After such a huge incident, the Jade Lake Sacred Land was in a rage. Who would dare to look for trouble?
"An Emperor's Throne powerhouse …"
Even so, Hu Lei still said regretfully, "It's a pity that I wasn't there to witness such a person's glory."
Hu Baimei also sighed faintly, "If only our Hu family could restore the glory of our ancestors and have an Emperor's Throne powerhouse!"
Ye Chen shook his head speechlessly when he heard that.
Among everyone, only Hu Fei was calm. He took a good look at Ye Chen with fanaticism in his eyes.
Even though Ye Chen did not tell him where he had gone, he could roughly guess that the Emperor's Throne powerhouse that the master and the rest respected must be Ye Chen.
Sweeping through the Jade Lake Sacred Land and beating up the Sacred Mountain Guardian Beast …
His fanaticism toward Ye Chen grew stronger as he thought to this point. My lord is really terrifying!
However, Ye Chen ignored his gaze. He could not stop thinking in his heart.
He was certain that the owner of the giant hand in the Jade Lake Sacred Land's forbidden area was the Jade Lake Sacred Leader!
Logically speaking, the Jade Lake Sacred Leader would not be able to tolerate him deliberately causing such a huge commotion in the Jade Lake Sacred Land. However, that person did not show up from the beginning to the end, as if he was watching everything from the sidelines.
"There's something wrong with this Jade Lake Sacred Leader!"
Ye Chen squinted as his eyes flickered. "There's something even more wrong with the forbidden area of the Jade Lake Holy Land. It seems like I'll have to explore it again if I have the chance …"
Just as Hu Baimei was about to let everyone rest, a distinguished guest arrived outside the door.
It was Lin Lan and Lin Yiyi.
Lin Lan took the initiative to greet Hu Baimei. Then, she smiled and said, "Patriarch Hu, please forgive me for disturbing you so late at night!"
"Miss Lin, you're too polite."
Hu Baimei felt honored and shook her head. Then, she carefully said, "I wonder if Miss Lin has come to visit so late at night?"
First, a mysterious expert had barged into the Jade Lake Sacred Ground, and now, a disciple of the Jade Lake Sacred Ground had come knocking on her door. How could she not be nervous?
As if sensing her nervousness, Lin Lan smiled and said, "This time, we are here because there will be a banquet of geniuses in the Tower of Virtue tonight, also known as the Mountain River Banquet. The participants are all young talents from various forces."
At this point, her beautiful eyes could not help but size up Hu Lei and Hu Fei, "That's why I took the liberty to come and ask if your Hu family is interested?"
As soon as this was said, Hu Lei and the others were immediately overjoyed. After all, young people were always restless, especially after hearing that they could get to know young talents from other forces. They were even more eager.
Hu Baimei looked troubled, and she wanted to refuse.
Lin Yiyi, who was behind Lin Lan, stood up and smiled playfully, "Senior Hu, don't be in a hurry to refuse. The people of the Jade Lake Holy Land are only the hosts of this banquet of geniuses. Whoever can come out on top will get a Heavenly Pill!"
As soon as she said that, there was a sudden gasp in the room, and everyone's expression changed.
Heavenly Pill!
That was something that could only be refined by an Alchemy Master. It had the effect of defying heaven and changing one's fate. Throughout the entire Ancient Desolate Realm, there were only a few Alchemy Masters, so the Heavenly Pill became more and more precious.
Even Hu Baimei was slightly surprised, "Heavenly Pill?"
"That's right. This banquet of geniuses is organized by Senior Brother Xie Dengfei of the Purple Sword Peak of the Jade Lake Holy Land! “
Lin Yiyi smiled proudly, "That Heaven Elixir Pill was brought by Zijianfeng as the prize of this Tianjiao Gala."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Lei and the others could not help but say, "Patriarch, let us go."
If they had the Heavenly Elixir, they would definitely be able to break through and become Martial Saints. How could this not be tempting?
"This …"
Hu Baimei hesitated for a moment before finally nodding her head. "Sure. Hu Lei, Hu Fei, you two follow Miss Lin."
Apparently, even she could not resist the temptation of the Heavenly Pill.
However, Lin Lan was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she looked at Ye Chen, "Young Master Ye, I wonder if you'd like to take a look?"
She emphasized the word 'knowledgeable'.
Everyone could not help but look at Ye Chen, especially Hu Lei and the rest. Mockery filled their eyes.
To them, Ye Chen did not have the courage to attend this so-called banquet.
However, Ye Chen nodded, "Sure!"
Lin Lan was secretly shocked. She was prepared to provoke Ye Chen, but she did not expect him to agree so straightforwardly.
Subsequently, she could not help but shake her head secretly, "That's good too. You'll realize the difference between you and Sister Mu after you meet the Middle State's geniuses."
…
An hour later, at the Virtuous Gathering Tower.
As the name suggested, the Virtuous Gathering Tower was a place where all the geniuses in the world gathered. It was a property of the Jade Lake Holy Land. Just a cup of tea was comparable to a medicinal pill, and the food was not ordinary extravagant.
At this moment, the ninth floor of the Virtuous Gathering Tower was filled with spiritual energy and dazzling gold and jade. Many maidservants with powerful auras stood respectfully at the side with trays in their hands.
In the middle, a crowd of people were moving and shouting. Apart from the host, the Jade Lake Holy Land, there were also disciples of several top sects. Every single one of them would cause a stir everywhere.
"Everyone, this dao sword of mine is called Kun Yu. There's a spiritual formation inside. I've nurtured it for a hundred years. I only need to activate my True Origin Energy to activate the seven sword intents …"
On the stage, a long-haired young man in a Daoist robe and holding a snow sword smiled faintly. However, the pride between his brows could not be concealed.
"Good!"
"As expected of Brother Leng from the Bright Sword Pavilion. To be able to comprehend seven sword intents at such a young age. You must know, even the Sword Fanatic Yi Xuanyuan who is on the Mountain River List only managed to comprehend 13 sword intents!"
Many people in the surroundings cheered.
As the host, the inner sect disciple of the Jade Lake Holy Land, Wei Zheng, could not help but praise: "I am certain that in less than a year, Brother Leng will definitely have a place on the Mountain River List."
Hearing that, the long-haired young man from the Bright Sword Pavilion shook his head modestly: "Brother Wei thinks too highly of me. How can the Mountain River List be so easy to enter? On the contrary, Brother Wei, Fairy Mu from the Jade Lake Holy Land has only been in the sect for a month, and she has already risen to the tenth position!"
The rest of the people were filled with admiration.
"Brother Wei, why hasn't the Mountain River Banquet started yet? Could it be that someone hasn't arrived yet?" The successor of the Styx Sect from the Eastern Region of the Central Prefecture frowned.
Wei Zheng took a sip of wine and pretended to be in a difficult position: "Brother Li, you might not know, but I, Junior Sister Lin Lan and I know someone. If I were to reveal his identity, everyone would definitely be shocked."
"Is that so?"
The direct disciple from the Limitless Sect from the Northern Region's Lan Province squinted: "Could it be that this person is an existence on the Mountain River List?"
Wei Zheng shook his head: "This person is not an existence on the Mountain River List. His cultivation cannot even compare to everyone here."
