Chapter 341: Chapter 340 The Planning Behind Chaoyan and Chaoruo

No matter how the others clamored, Chaoyan simply wouldn’t take it out.

He sent a message asking Xie Jiu’niang.

Xie Jiu’niang said it was a Spirit Crystal.

How could such a thing be shown to others?

With a grand gesture, Chaoyan invited all the fellow Daoists to take their seats, "I’m truly grateful to you all for coming from afar. Today, I’ve prepared some drinks, and later on, we’ll surely drink to our heart’s content."

"That’s right, I’ve been looking forward to your wine," Lord Xiaoyuan responded with a hearty voice.

The others followed suit, showing due respect.

The banquet that followed lasted for seven days.

The first day’s feast was personally hosted by Chaoyan and was for the distinguished guests.

On the second day, not a single Divinity Transformation mighty one was to be seen, and without their presence, the banquet became even more lively.

Xie Jiu’niang spotted the people from the Xie Family who had come to present their congratulatory gifts.

It was a Nascent Soul elder.

The Clan Leader of the Xie Family had entered seclusion, it was said that even the old ancestor had also closed off for seclusion.

They also brought two letters and a Storage Bag filled with Spirit Stones.

One letter was from her parents, lettting her know they were safe.

The other was from the Clan Leader of the Xie Family, and the gist of it was to thank her. Xie Jiu’niang had counted the number of Spirit Stones, a very large sum, equivalent to purchasing a Divinity Transformation Pill.

Xie Jiu’niang raised an eyebrow.

They took advantage of her, yet they had repaid her with a sum.

She tossed the Spirit Stones to Jian Lingyan, making It happy for quite some time.

The Tianxu Sect was bustling during the days of the ongoing banquet.

The various prodigies who had come with their elders to participate in the grand ceremony were lofty and proud, eager to challenge the disciples of the Tianxu Sect under the guise of exchanging pointers.

It has always been the case that during the Divinity Transformation ceremony, the disciples accepted by the transforming master receive special attention.

Xie Jiu’niang was a direct disciple of Chaoyan.

Under normal circumstances, many disciples would have challenged her.

But, there were none.

All the renowned prodigies of the Tianxu Sect had been challenged, with Mo Chuan, Raoyang, and Ren Bingyan being the primary targets for challenges.

Even Xie Ying had a bunch of challenges issued to her, and Xuanyuan You picked up a fight or two as leftovers.

Only Xie Jiu’niang was exceptionally free.

One could say it was a rather unusual phenomenon.

But upon closer thought, it was only natural that no one challenged her.

Golden Core fifth level!

She had only recently killed a late-stage Golden Core, let alone them?

Among her peers, she was the strongest by far.

Xuanyuan You had just fought a bout and, brimming with excitement, leapt down from the arena, "Little Profiteer, are you here to watch me fight, or to bask in the sun?"

"Oh, both watching the fight and enjoying the sun."

Xie Jiu’niang, holding the self-invited Water Kirin, was lounging lazily on a large rock.

If it weren’t for the banquet still ongoing and the guests not yet dispersed, she would have gone into seclusion long ago. Fights at the Foundation Establishment level weren’t much to see.

As for the Water Kirin, it was thoroughly enjoying itself.

When hungry, it sought out Chaoruo, and once sated, it came looking for Xie Jiu’niang.

This was simply...

Xuanyuan You added, "I say, why has no one challenged you?"

"Perhaps... it’s because they feel inferior?"

"Hahaha, would you dare say that in a crowd?"

Xuanyuan You picked up the Water Kirin and held it in his arms, chuckling, "Little Profiteer, did you know people in the sect are talking about you?"

"What about me?" Xie Jiu’niang asked, unconcerned.

Xuanyuan You said, amused, "They say that you used to let people secretly raise Contracted Beasts for you, and now you have the sect raising one openly."

"That’s purely a rumor."

Xie Jiu’niang shook her head helplessly, "I sincerely let the Water Kirin become a Guardian Beast, and that person has wronged me."

"Yes, yes, unjustly maligned our master." The Water Kirin was the first to chime in.

Xuanyuan You curved his lips, "I suspect you two are colluding, and I even have evidence."

"What evidence?" the Water Kirin asked innocently.

"Isn’t the fact that you follow her around every day evidence enough?"

Xuanyuan You teased the Water Kirin sentence by sentence.

Xie Jiuniang didn’t want to bother with the two of them, her gaze sweeping over each battle stage on Battle Peak.

Among those who had come this time, there were not a few scions of those families, such as Wu Yu, Su Songting, and Nangong Qi were all present.

However, these three were tactful enough not to appear before her.

"Xiaojiu, Xuanyuan You!"

Song Baobao waved at them, with a group of men and women by her side, Xie Ying among them, her eyes on Xie Jiuniang sharp as knives.

Xie Jiuniang didn’t take it to heart.

At this moment, Song Baobao ran over, excitedly saying, "There’s fun to be had in Fengyue City, are you going? They say there’s a Flower God Festival and a fair."

"Who told you?" Xie Jiuniang asked with narrowed eyes.

Song Baobao pointed to the companions from earlier, "Them."

"I won’t be going." Xie Jiuniang refused.

Xuanyuan You followed up, "If Little Profiteer isn’t going, then neither am I. It just seems like it would be quite boring without her."

Ha!

Xie Jiuniang really wanted to roll her eyes.

If she went, it wouldn’t be boring, but it would be a bloody storm.

As for Song Baobao’s actions today, Xie Jiuniang did not suspect her of trying to harm her. It was probably that someone behind the scenes wanted to use her to lure Xie Jiuniang out of the Sect. After all, the Song Family still wanted half of the legacy.

If anything happened to her, the Song Family would be out of luck.

As for Xie Ying...

Forget it, she’s not worth considering.

After splitting up with Xuanyuan You and Song Baobao, Xie Jiuniang returned to Zhengyang Peak.

Chaoyan was now elusive as a dragon, seen in head but not in tail.

Xie Jiuniang couldn’t find anyone, and Chaoruo also seemed unusually busy.

Master Qiansha was not in the Sect, and didn’t even attend the Divinity Transformation ceremony, so he must have gone to the frontier or a new Secret Realm.

Xie Jiuniang was curious about what Chaoyan and Chaoruo were planning but they didn’t allow her to participate.

She took out the Time Leaf and started precognition.

[An evening passed peacefully, and Chaoyan was not on Zhengyang Peak.

Xie Jiuniang went to the Main Peak again to look for Chaoruo, but Kuangguan said he wasn’t there.

Wandering in the Sect, she encountered the newly advanced Core Formation Wu Yu, who turned to leave upon seeing her. Xie Jiuniang proactively stopped him and issued a life-or-death challenge.

Wu Yu refused and left the Tianxu Sect the same day.

Xie Jiuniang then went to challenge Su Songting.

The latter requested a Talisman-making contest, and after a match where Xie Jiuniang overwhelmed him, she then challenged Nangong Qi, expressly stating it would be a martial contest.

Nangong Qi did not accept.

People said she was bullying the weak and had no martial ethics.

For three consecutive days, Xie Jiuniang specifically challenged disciples from the seven big families with battle challenges, but no one dared to accept, and instead, she scared everyone away.

The next day, early in the morning, Xie Jiuniang heard a piece of news; a certain Evil Monarch had been hiding in the Eastern Region and was accidentally discovered by a Divinity Transformation Lord. The two engaged in a grand battle...]

Emerging from the precognition, Xie Jiuniang’s expression cleared.

Chaoyan and Chaoruo’s scheme was, as it turned out, to use another’s hand to kill.

The Eastern Region was lurking with too many evil spirits and ghosts; most of them had enemies. Chaoruo and Chaoyan took advantage of the Divinity Transformation festival, inviting some of their enemies over.

Whether openly or secretly, they helped them seek revenge.

And now, it has all begun to unfold!

The Sect’s seven-day banquet was not yet over when one explosive piece of news after another began to spread.

Today, it was that someone found their mortal enemy, whom they had been seeking for decades, by chance in the Eastern Region, and without a word, they started fighting.

Tomorrow, it was that a certain Lord who attended the Divinity Transformation ceremony at the Tianxu Sect, on his way back, stumbled upon his mother’s killer; fortunately, with the aid of friends from Tianxu Sect, they managed to kill the enemy and avenge the deep hatred.

The day after, another incident...]
