The Nine Heavens Wonderland, the Great Hall of Prayer to Heaven.

The Daoist of Vacuum sat at the head of the table, while dozens of outstanding talents from the Xuanmen sect gathered below him.

There was a fairy with a white veil covering her face, a graceful figure, and a crystal longsword on her back.

It was Tianxuan Daoist of the Guanghan Sword Sect.

Then there was the young man in silver robes and a star crown, with auspicious clouds above his head and countless stars floating in the sky; he was the Star Daoist of the Star Palace.

And then there was that sword cultivator with a chilling sword intent and a murderous aura—who else could it be but Yu Duxiu?

Such examples are numerous, and most of them are those who have made a name for themselves and gained fame in the Eastern Pole Sky.

Those who are slightly less qualified are not eligible to attend this banquet.

"That kid's got way too much of an attitude, doesn't he?"

Suddenly, a young man with a simple face, golden eyes, a lazy smile on his lips, and a golden robe that shimmered with jewels, said impatiently, "Three hours have passed, and he still hasn't come. What's the meaning of this?"

However, it was Jiang Yuetian, the young master of Cloud City, who took the lead in challenging Bai Cang, who had not yet arrived.

Upon hearing this, everyone present, though with different thoughts, remained calm.

It seems they haven't been affected at all!

"Please be patient, everyone. Young friend Bai and junior disciple Ning have been reunited after a long separation, and they must have a lot to say. Please wait a little longer."

With a smile, Daoist Vacuum said gently, "Moreover, the Heavenly Palace of the Universe where he lives is a sacred place of our Fangcun Mountain sect, and ordinary disciples are not qualified to set foot there."

Even if I wanted to send someone to invite them, I wouldn't be able to get in. I can't possibly abandon you all and go to urge them myself, can I?"

Upon hearing this, the previously calm crowd suddenly turned grim, their faces turning ashen.

Because of these words from the Daoist of Vacuum, they were shrouded in mystery several times.

His words were a constant reminder to them: different people have different fates, how dare you compare yourselves to Bai Cang?

As fellow prodigies of the Xuanmen sect, they had "performed" countless times in the Taixu Illusionary Realm, yet they had never even seen the face of "Frost River Daoist Lord".

Bai Cang, a newcomer, had already won the heart of a beauty; this was a fatal blow.

Moreover, they were all from the same generation as Bai Cang, but while he was able to "take over" the Heavenly Palace of the Universe, they were only allowed to enter the lower three levels of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

If it weren't for the fact that they were attending a banquet, and that the banquet itself had a somewhat appeasing nature.

They weren't even qualified to set foot in the territory of the Ninth Heaven.

The difference in their abilities was immediately apparent, making them feel as if they were far inferior to Bai Cang; this was the reason for their deaths.

Underneath two layers of thin gauze, how could the expressions on everyone's faces be pleasant?

"Hmph, he's just a mere southern barbarian. Only your Fangcun Mountain would treat him like a treasure!"

Despite his noble status, Jiang Yuetian spoke without restraint, directly launching into sarcastic remarks.

The rest of the group remained silent, but each of them felt somewhat uneasy.

"When that kid gets here, I'll definitely teach him a lesson."

Jiang Yuetian continued to deliver his message, primarily using his voice as a substitute, making various "overpowered protagonist" style remarks.

But at that moment, Daoist Zhenkong suddenly stood up and said, "Young friend Bai has arrived!"

After saying that, he gave Jiang Yuetian a meaningful look.

It's as if it's saying: He's here, please begin your performance!

What? My good buddy's here? I'd better give him a proper welcome!

Jiang Yuetian's face stiffened, and he stood up abruptly, walking out without a word, a bright smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

"Young Master Jiang, where are you going?"

Everyone in the hall turned to look, and Daoist Zhenru even teased, "You didn't go to the door to greet young friend Bai, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetian paused, his neck stiffening as he said, "I'm going to teach him a lesson he won't forget, to let him see the power of Cloud City!"

Before the words were even finished, someone else chimed in, "Isn't the most powerful tactic in Cloud City to throw money around? Are you going to give him money too?"

These words were met with bursts of laughter, filling the hall and the surrounding area with a joyful atmosphere.

"Could it be a bribe to save someone's life?"

"Say the fiercest words, bow your head the most expensively?"

"Nonsense! Young Master Jiang is not such a coward! Don't make baseless accusations."

"I'm spouting nonsense? You haven't seen it. Back in the Eastern Celestial Realm, Young Master Jiang was..."

"Say more, I like to hear more. The dignified young city lord of Cloud City, would he really bow down and submit to the number one genius of Southern Xinjiang?"

"What are you talking about? Don't you understand the value of the most luxurious mansion in the Central Plains?"

The various prodigies of the Xuanmen sect offered all sorts of sarcastic remarks.

It seemed as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction with Bai Cang on Jiang Yuetian.

After all, they're not stupid; they know who's easy to mess with and who's not.

Compared to Bai Cang, Jiang Yuetian was clearly an easy target.

Most importantly: you're showing off and stirring up trouble, and then you want to absolve yourself of all responsibility, right?

There's no such thing as a free lunch. I'm going to drag you here today.

This is the truest thought in the hearts of many geniuses of the Xuanmen sect.

Hearing the sarcasm and ridicule from the crowd, Jiang Yuetian's face turned bright red.

But his sharp tongue and quick wit showed no weakness. "What do you mean by bowing your head? Can something between like-minded friends be called bowing your head? I call this 'no fight, no friendship'..."

Next came some difficult-to-understand phrases, such as "Cloud City doesn't lack this much," "Just consider it giving money to a beggar," and "My brother Bai isn't having an easy time either, so of course I have to help him out," which were hard to understand.

This prompted everyone inside the hall to unleash another burst of energy, filling the hall and the surrounding area with a joyful atmosphere.

However, with everyone united in their efforts, even Jiang Yuetian's skin had been refined to the point where it was comparable to a defensive magic weapon.

But in the end, she was too embarrassed to go out and greet him.

But at that moment, Yu Duxiu walked out without saying a word.

Seeing this, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment: What's going on?

No way? No way? Could someone really have fallen for Jiang Yuetian's trick?

This guy's fishing technique is so clumsy it's unbearable to watch.

It's amazing that someone can actually take the bait when the hook is straight and the bait is salty.

Yu Duxiu was well aware of what everyone was thinking.

But he didn't bother to offer any explanation.

Although Yu Duxiu's arrogant personality had been greatly tempered after his journey to the Eastern Pole Heaven.

However, his hatred and resentment towards Bai Cang only grew stronger each day.

He will never forget who shattered his "myth" in the Eastern Heaven, causing him to fall from grace.

They will never forget the "humiliation" inflicted upon them!

Most importantly, Yu Duxiu claimed that he had seen through Bai Cang, and that Bai Cang was no longer the same person he used to be.

Today, at this very moment, he will take back everything he has lost!

Just as Yu Duxiu stepped out of the main hall, several figures appeared out of thin air beside the Vacuum Daoist.

"Fellow Daoist Vacuum, isn't it rather unseemly to scheme against a junior like this?"
