More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The tranquility of the Nine Saints Sect was suddenly broken when the other eight sects of the nine major sects of the Eastern Wilderness came to visit.

Their holy sons and daughters also accompanied them.

Gao Yan received an order from Sect Master Shangguan Shang to go to the True Inheritance Mansion to receive the holy sons and daughters of the other eight sects together with Xiahou Jian and others.

So, Gao Yan brought Qin Xiangxue and the Ye sisters to the True Inheritance Mansion.

"Senior Sister Xiahou, when are you going to pay me back the spirit stones you owe me?"

Seeing that Xiahou Meng had arrived before him, Gao Yan walked directly to her side and said with a smile.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xiahou Meng's face. Two hundred million spirit stones was no small sum, and she had a reason for asking the Xiahou family for spirit stones.

Therefore, she really couldn't come up with two hundred million spirit stones in a short time.

"I'll give you twenty million now, and I'll pay you back the rest later!"

Xiahou Meng whispered, and as she spoke, she slipped a storage ring to Gao Yan.

"Alright!"

Gao Yan put away his storage ring, but didn't press the matter further: "By the way, Senior Sister, do you know why the other eight sects came to visit?"

In fact, Gao Yan had already guessed the reason. As expected, the eight major sects were all there for the quota to enter the Emperor's Tomb.

He asked Xiahou Meng simply to find a topic to chat with her about.

Upon hearing Gao Yan's words, Xiahou Meng couldn't help but sneer, "What else could it be but a spot to enter the Emperor's Tomb!"

"Did you get a spot, senior sister?"

"Of course!"

Xiahou Meng said arrogantly, "I am a key talent cultivated by the Xiahou family, so naturally I will be included in the Emperor's Tomb quota. However, the Emperor's Tomb is extremely dangerous. How about we team up and go together when we enter the Emperor's Tomb?"

Faced with Xiahou Meng's invitation, Gao Yan hesitated and said, "Then I'll think about it!"

He originally didn't plan to go to the Emperor's Tomb, but since there were a lot of top-grade spirit stones inside, he had to go. However, he didn't plan to team up with anyone else.

Because he was teaming up with others, he couldn't use many of his tricks; if he did, he would have to reveal his true strength.

He's not the main character, so he can't always turn any bad situation into a safe one. Therefore, it's better for him to keep a low profile.

"Hmph, if you don't want to, then forget it!"

Xiahou Meng was immediately dissatisfied when he saw that Gao Yan did not agree.

Gao Yan smiled and didn't care. Although Xiahou Meng was a bit petty, she wouldn't hold a grudge.

A short while later.

Xiahou Jian, Nangong Yao, Zhang Tianfan, and others arrived one after another.

Following that, two more senior disciples arrived and gave Gao Yan and his group some instructions.

Then Gao Yan and his group of holy sons and daughters moved to a luxurious palace.

About fifteen minutes later.

The holy sons and daughters of the eight major sects arrived together.

As the most powerful Holy Son of the Nine Saints Sect in name, Xiahou Jian led Gao Yan and his group to invite the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Eight Sects into the main hall.

Spiritual wine, spiritual fruits, and snacks were already laid out on the low table inside the main hall.

After they were all seated, Gao Yan and his group also took their seats in the main seats.

Then Xiahou Jian gave a brief speech.

During this time, Gao Yan used his Insightful Eyes to examine all the holy sons and daughters.

Among them, a holy maiden from the Xuanming Sect and the Shangqing Sword Sect also reached the Nascent Soul stage, but her realm was not as high as Xiahou Jian's.

As for the other holy sons and daughters, they are all at the Nascent Soul stage.

"Which one of you is Brother Gao Yan?"

After Xiahou Jian finished speaking, You Lin'er from the Xuanming Sect suddenly picked up her wine cup and stood up.

"I am Gao Yan, and you must be the Holy Maiden You Lin'er!"

Gao Yan smiled and stood up: "May I ask what guidance Saintess You Lin'er has for me?"

"Giggle!"

You Lin'er let out a clear, melodious laugh, which made her tremble with laughter. Her beautiful eyes curiously looked at Gao Yan: "Brother Gao Yan, I have no intention of giving you any guidance. I am just curious about what you look like, since you can suppress the geniuses of Zhongzhou. Please forgive me if I have offended you!"

"You bitch!"

"Vixen!"

Nangong Yao and Xiahou Meng cursed inwardly at the same time.

They all saw through You Lin'er's tricks; she was simply trying to elevate Gao Yan and sow discord between Xiahou Jian and Gao Yan.

In fact, Xiahou Jian had seen through You Lin'er's thoughts, but hearing these words still made him feel uncomfortable.

After all, he lost his third match to the prodigy of Zhongzhou.

Gao Yan, on the other hand, won three consecutive matches and also won 50 billion spirit stones.

"Saintess You Lin'er, you flatter me. I was just lucky. Besides, all the opponents I fought were of the same level. Otherwise, how could I be a match for those geniuses from Zhongzhou!" Gao Yan said modestly. Although he was not afraid of Xiahou Jian, he had no need to offend him.

You Lin'er didn't want to make things too obvious, so she chuckled and said, "Even so, I admire Brother Gao Yan very much. If I have the chance, I must ask Brother Gao Yan for some pointers. Brother Gao Yan, I'd like to offer you a toast!"

"There will be an opportunity, and I will also pay my respects to Her Highness!"

Gao Yan also raised his glass, then drank the wine in his glass, nodded to You Lin'er, and sat down again.

"Doesn't it feel good to be flattered by that vixen?"

Suddenly, Xiahou Meng asked telepathically.

"Senior sister, you've misunderstood. We're the hosts today, but in any other place, do you think I'd even acknowledge her?" Gao Yan quickly replied.

Xiahou Meng was very satisfied with Gao Yan's reply, and then transmitted her voice, "The women of the Xuanming Sect are all bad. You'd better stay away from them to avoid being tricked by them!"

"Thank you for reminding me, senior sister. I understand!"

Gao Yan replied again.
