The guests have all arrived, and it is time for the banquet to begin. Qin Wuyou returned to his seat, picked up his wine glass, and said loudly: "Today is the day for Qin's new appointment. It is a great honor for all of you to come here despite your busy schedule. Qin has just arrived in Xinyue City and knows very little about it. In the future, I will need everyone here to teach Qin and help him. This glass of wine, Qin toasts to you all!"
After saying that, Qin Wuyou raised his glass and drank it all.
The guests also raised their glasses and expressed their blessings one after another:
"Haha, Palace Master Qin is so polite. If you need our Qinglong Gang in the future, please feel free to ask."
"I heard that Palace Master Qin is from the Blue Wind Xuanfu in the Imperial City. It really makes people yearn for it! With the new Palace Master Qin, I believe that Xinyue Xuanfu will prosper step by step."
"Palace Master Qin's profound strength is unfathomable. I'm afraid he has already reached the fifth level of the Earthly Profound Realm. It really makes us admire him and feel ashamed."
The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and those who fawned on him were naturally from the small and medium-sized sects and the city lords. The seven major sects were all reserved, and only occasionally said a few polite words.
While the disciples of the seven major sects were constantly raising their glasses, their eyes were all looking at the disciples' seats of the New Moon Xuan Mansion, obviously selecting the challenge opponents. The disciples of the New Moon Xuan Mansion also had heavy faces, but their momentum was not weak at all. However, after several elders repeatedly inspected the average strength of the disciples of the seven major sects, they all sighed in their hearts... Although each sect did not bring many disciples, they were obviously carefully selected, and each of them had amazing talents, far better than the elites of the same age in the mansion. I thought that after these years of development, the New Moon Xuan Mansion had narrowed the gap with them, but now it seems that it was too whimsical.
Although Lan Xueruo appeared in Xinyue Xuanfu, she alone could not change the situation. It seemed that this time, they could only repeat the mistakes of five years ago. Alas, there was nothing they could do. The foundation and resources of Xuanfu could not be compared with this large sect that had been passed down for at least hundreds of years.
"The atmosphere is really quite subtle. It looks like this princess will have a good show to watch later." Jasmine said.
“What do you think would be the outcome if these elite disciples of New Moon Profound Palace were to compete with the seven major sects?” Yun Che asked tentatively.
“At the same age, the disciples of these seven sects are on average two to three levels higher than the disciples of New Moon Profound Palace. Do I need to tell you the result?” Jasmine said lightly.
“… So exaggerated?” Yun Che frowned slightly. If he was half a level higher, he could still fight, but if he was one level higher, he would basically have no chance. If he was two or three levels higher… If that was really the case, it would be a dream for New Moon Profound Palace to avoid repeating the same mistakes. It seemed that the new Palace Master would also have to take a good beating. It depended on how he would handle it.
“Humph, if we only talk about the Burning Heaven Sect and the Xiao Sect, they are on average four to five levels higher!” Jasmine added.
“…I want to know, how many levels higher are you than them?” Yun Che asked leisurely.
"Compared with them? Are you insulting this princess?" Jasmine's voice was faintly filled with anger.
"Ahem, I didn't mean that at all. I was just asking casually."
A super monster loli who could kill Wang Xuanzhilong in seconds at the age of thirteen! What a genius of the sect, what the number one of the younger generation of Xinyue, in front of her, they are not even as good as a pile of shit. Yun Che also felt that comparing Jasmine with them seemed to be an insult to her...
Qin Wuyou was obviously very capable of controlling a big scene. After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere of the entire banquet was already very lively, with all kinds of laughter and joy. Although Yun Che did not drink, he also enjoyed the food and wine. Only after a long period of eye contact between the Xuanfu and the sect disciples, the atmosphere became more and more tense. At this moment, it only took a random fuse to explode.
At this time, Xuan Ao, the chief elder of Xuanxin Sect, stood up with a wine glass in his hand and said loudly: "This glass of wine, on behalf of Xuanxin Sect, I wish that Lord Qin will lead Xinyue Xuanfu to be famous all over the world as soon as possible." After that, Xuan Ao drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, with the mouth of the glass facing down, and then said: "However, at this point in the banquet, with so many distinguished guests present, I still feel that something is missing, and it is not lively and enjoyable enough. Lord Qin has just taken office and should not know much about Xinyue Xuanfu. I believe he must want to know the strength level of the disciples in the palace. Then, I have a suggestion. Why not let the disciples of several of our sects and the disciples of the same age in your palace have a sparring match with each other? It can not only add to the fun, but also deepen the relationship between each other, and help Lord Qin understand the strength of the disciples in the palace. Isn't it killing three birds with one stone?"
"Great! Elder Xuan's suggestion is brilliant!"
"What a great way to kill three birds with one stone!"
"What a great idea! What are you waiting for? Let's get started now. I believe Palace Master Qin will not refuse."
As soon as Xuan Ao's voice fell, the seven major sects cheered and responded continuously. The elders of Xinyue Xuanfu sighed in their hearts... What is coming will eventually come. Xinyue Xuanfu changes the master every five years, and every time the new master is appointed, they will give him a show of power. This has almost become a rule.
All seven major sects responded, and the disciples even stood up and rubbed their hands, so Qin Wuyou naturally couldn't resist. But he was obviously very calm, stood up, smiled and nodded: "Elder Xuan's suggestion is good, then, how should we spar?"
"That's easy!" Xuan Ao laughed and said, "The younger generations are different from us. They are all in the starting stage, so one level in age means one step in heaven. When sparring, of course people of similar ages should spar with each other. This is fair. Of course, the younger ones can also challenge the older ones. This way, it will be more glorious to win. Hahahaha."
Xuan Ao's last sentence and the loud laughter clearly meant that even the younger ones here can still defeat you older ones.
"Since it was proposed by this old man, then our Xuanxin Sect will start first...Xuanyu, you go first! Remember to report your age."
"Yes, Elder!"
The Xuanxin Sect boy whose name was called looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was the youngest of the disciples who came this time. He was thin and dressed in tight clothes. He took a breath and jumped high from his seat, landing in the center of the hall. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the disciples of Xinyue Xuanfu with a provocative look: "I am Xuanyu, a useless disciple of Xuanxin Sect. I am sixteen years old. I wonder which one of your family would like to teach me?"
As soon as Xuan Yu came on the stage, the elders of Xinyue Xuanfu were all silent... This Xuan Yu was only sixteen years old, but he was already at the second level of the Entering Xuan Realm! And these elders knew their own business. Among the sixteen-year-olds in Xinyue Xuanfu, the one with the highest Xuanli was only at the first level of the Entering Xuan Realm. Moreover, these sect disciples all had sect Xuangong. If the same level fought, the Xuanfu disciples basically had no chance of winning, not to mention the one level lower.
The most unacceptable thing is that Xuan Yu can only be considered as a middle-level disciple among the seven sects brought this time, and is definitely not in the upper-level.
Xuan Yu stood there for a long time, but there was no movement from the New Moon Xuan Mansion. The smile on Xuan Yu's face had obviously turned into a sneer, and the seven major sects also showed contempt. If they continued to be silent, they would be embarrassed before they even had a "competition" with the New Moon Xuan Mansion. Si Kong Han waved his hand back: "Li Hao, you go!"
"yes!"
The Xuanfu disciple called Li Hao jumped out from the disciples' seats, stood in front of Xuan Yu, and said seriously: "Li Hao from Xinyue Xuanfu Class 1, please give me your guidance!"
"Hehe, needless to say, I will teach you well." Xuan Yu smiled and whispered with obvious sarcasm. Facing the New Moon Xuanfu that they had always suppressed, the disciples of the seven major sects always had a considerable sense of superiority when facing the disciples of the New Moon Xuanfu. On the other hand, the disciples of the New Moon Xuanfu could still show off in front of those medium-sized sects, but in front of the seven sects, they could never raise their heads.
"Hmph!" Xuan Yu's contemptuous eyes made Li Hao angry. He growled, condensed his Xuanli in his right arm, and punched towards Xuan Yu in the face with a sharp sound of wind.
"Haha, is that the extent?"
Xuan Yu sneered in his heart. He raised his right hand and a layer of light purple light suddenly flashed on his palm.
"It's the Xuanxin Sect's sect's profound skill - Ziyang Gong!" an elder of the New Moon Xuan Mansion growled.
The gap between the New Moon Xuanfu and the seven major sects is not only in the level of Xuanli, but also in Xuangong! The major sects have mature inherited Xuangong after hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulation, and Xuangong is generally a secret of a sect or a clan, and will never be passed on to outsiders. If the New Moon Xuanfu wants to teach its disciples Xuangong, it must create one by itself. Moreover, even in terms of Xuanji, the New Moon Xuanfu is mostly based on basic low-level Xuanji, which is far inferior to the seven major sects.
The purple energy on Xuan Yu's palm was boiling like water. He changed his palm into a fist and punched straight towards Li Hao's fist... It was also an ordinary punch without any mysterious skills.
The two fists collided, and a purple light burst out at the collision point. With a "crack", Li Hao's fist was directly dislocated. A look of pain appeared on his face, and his entire upper body leaned back. Xuan Yu laughed sinisterly, and swung his left fist suddenly. In the process of swinging, it was also covered with purple light and hit Li Hao's abdomen fiercely. This time it was no longer an ordinary punch, but a powerful Xuan skill of Xuanxin Sect...
"Purple Cloud Palm!"
"Bang!" The fist covered with purple light hit Li Hao's abdomen heavily, sinking deeply. Li Hao's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and he flew backwards with a muffled groan. His body turned several times in the air and fell heavily to the ground. The blood in his chest and abdomen rolled for a while, and finally he spit out a rocket with a "puff". He lay on the ground with his hands covering his stomach and twitching for a while, unable to stand up at all.
"Li Hao!"
"Junior Brother Li!!"
Two disciples of the New Moon Xuanfu rushed out quickly and helped the defeated Li Hao down. All the disciples of the New Moon Xuanfu were terrified. Li Hao and Xuanyu were of similar age and only one level of Xuanli apart. They thought that even if they were defeated, they could at least hold on for a long time. However, they did not expect that Li Hao would be defeated miserably after only two encounters.
They heard that five years ago, the disciples of the seven sects defeated their senior brothers and sisters in ten consecutive defeats, which was extremely miserable. They were still very dissatisfied, but after the first "competition" was completed, they felt a chill in their hearts.
"Thank you." Xuan Yu smiled. The previous battle did not consume any of his energy at all. He did not stop there. Instead, he stood where he was and looked at the disciples of New Moon Xuan Mansion and said, "I wonder which friend of New Moon Xuan Mansion would like to give me some advice?"
"Tsk, this kid seems to be addicted to being in the limelight." A disciple of the Seven Killing Sword Pavilion scolded with a smile.
"Alas, there's really no point in bullying these rookies. Let's just treat it as fun." Another person pouted.
The two defeated the enemy in the face-to-face encounters, and the attacks were quite ruthless, which made the sixteen-year-old disciples of the New Moon Xuanfu nervous, and no one dared to take the initiative to fight. Because Li Hao was basically the strongest in the sixteen-year-old section of the New Moon Xuanfu, the other sixteen-year-olds would only humiliate themselves and would be useless. And if the seventeen or eighteen-year-olds fought, there would be no glory if they won, and even more shame if they lost.
"Huh? What's going on? Are all my friends in Xinyue Xuanfu a bunch of cowards?" Xuan Yu grinned and laughed, then his face changed and he slapped himself lightly: "Look at my mouth, I am getting less and less able to speak. This is the Xuanfu established by the royal family, and the disciples should be the best. How can they be cowards? That means they disdain to compete with me? How about this? I dare to challenge anyone. If I win, it's naturally lucky. If I lose, I will roll off the stage immediately and stop being laughed at by everyone."
There was a sudden burst of laughter from the seven sects.
Without waiting for any reaction from Xinyue Xuanfu, Xuanyu stretched out his hand and pointed at a person: "That big brother, judging from your appearance, you must have great strength. Please teach me a little."
The one he was pointing at... was Xia Yuanba!
