Relying on his current Shenglun realm and the advantage of being able to fly in the air, Kong Ju only needed two and a half days to travel from Qingzhou to Cangwu Sect.
There was plenty of time, and Kong Ju was in no hurry to travel. He walked while enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. The scenery that he usually saw had a different feeling when viewed from the perspective of flying in the air.
At noon three days later, Kong Ju returned through the air and stepped into the Cangwu Sect at exactly this time.
This banquet was unprecedentedly grand. Looking down from the sky, one could see the outer gate of the banquet extending from Lingyun Pavilion all the way to the outside of the mountain protection formation.
Most of those who sat at the outer gate were independent cultivators and monks from small sects.
As for the famous independent cultivators and cultivators from major sects in Wudong, they naturally entered the inner sect.
Kong Ju flew directly over the outer gate and entered the inner gate.
On the main peak of the inner sect, on the platform outside the Qingcang Palace, the Cuijin Sect, the Mosheng Sect, the Yaowang Valley, and even the Qinghu Demon Clan all gathered here.
Maybe it was because they had just pacified the Dingyue Sect and had experienced the baptism of the battlefield, so the human cultivators and demon cultivators present all had an astonishing murderous aura.
That is the murderous aura that comes from killing, and it cannot be completely eliminated in a short time.
But it did not affect the senior monks from toasting and drinking.
In this battle to wipe out the Dingyue Sect, everyone present gained enough benefits.
The smiles on their faces all come from the heart.
However, no one in the audience was seen to be a powerful person at the level of Palm of Life, so perhaps there were other arrangements.
The leader Huangfu Ying sat high in the Qingcang Hall, drinking with the leaders of various sects in the hall. As reserved as he was, a smile could not be concealed on his handsome face from time to time.
When he took over the Cangwu Sect, it was a complete mess.
Not only were they suppressed by the Dingyue Sect to the point where they couldn't even raise their heads, but the higher-ups in the sect were also a bunch of indecisive idiots who only cared about the rest of the situation.
In less than thirty years, he reversed the situation, not only destroying the Dingyue Sect, but also making the Cangwu Sect the largest sect in Wudong.
Only Huangfu Ying knew the hardships and bitterness involved.
The elders from each faction sat in the Qingcang Palace, and the young talents from each faction naturally also got the honor of sitting in the Qingcang Palace, and sat at the last table in the Qingcang Palace, a separate table with only five people.
Sitting there were Han Honghua, Shangguan Yuzhou, Yuan Xiao, Yue Qiaoling, and Huangfu Wuqin.
They were all leading figures of their respective factions, geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List. Zhai Qingning and Zong Changsong were too old to sit at this table.
There was an empty seat on the left side of the banquet, which was obviously reserved for someone.
Han Honghua and Shangguan Yuzhou both had huge drinking capacity, but they could not resist the fine wine brewed from the magical herbs of the Cangwu Sect, and they drank until their faces turned red.
After drinking for more than thirty minutes, Han Honghua glanced at the empty seat and curled her lips in dissatisfaction. It seemed that without one person, the drinking had lost its flavor.
He immediately asked Shangguan Yuzhou: "Where has Kong Ju been in seclusion? It's been a year, the war is over, and he hasn't shown up yet."
“When Junior Brother Kong was out, I was on the battlefield, and only Senior Sister Huangfu saw him.”
Speaking of Kong Ju, Shangguan Yuzhou also put down his wine glass, with a look of regret on his face: "Calculating the time, it's almost time for me to leave the retreat."
Huangfu Wuqin didn't like drinking. He ate the spiritual fruit on the table by himself. After spitting out a fruit core from his little mouth, he said nonchalantly: "He is so mysterious every day. Who knows?"
After Yuan Xiao sat down, he kept secretly glancing at Huangfu Wuqin. Seeing Huangfu Wuqin eating the fruit, he also picked up a spiritual fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.
He said in a vague tone: "It took him a long time to break through the Ascension Wheel. He missed the battle between the great palm-borns on the battlefield. The battle between the ten great palm-borns was shocking and only happens once in a thousand years. He regretted it."
"Maybe they don't care." Yaowang Gu Yue smiled sweetly.
The five people were discussing.
A breeze blew through the hall.
A figure suddenly came flying from outside the Qingcang Palace and landed in the center of the palace.
Almost at the moment of falling, the clear voice of the visitor spread throughout the Qingcang Palace: "Disciple Kong Ju, congratulations to Master, congratulations to all the seniors for their great victory. I am late."
The visitor instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
Everyone's eyes fixed on his lowered face, and all of them smiled.
The person who came was none other than Kong Ju who had been in seclusion for a year.
He came flying in the air, and it was obvious that he had reached the Ascension Wheel Realm.
No one was surprised by his successful breakthrough.
Huangfu Ying glanced at Kong Ju, and was also satisfied with the latter's success in breaking through the lifting wheel. After nodding slightly, he signaled Kong Ju with his eyes and said, "Please take your seat."
Kong Ju hurriedly thanked him, and then bowed to the seniors from various factions present. After the ceremony, he walked leisurely to the last seat in Qingcang Palace.
He sat down under the smiling gaze of Huangfu Wuqin and the other four.
"Senior Sister Huangfu, Senior Brother Shangguan, Sister Hua, Yuan Xiao, and Fellow Daoist Yue, long time no see." Kong Ju greeted the five people present with a smile.
As he spoke, Xu Po's vision opened and his eyes swept over the five people one by one.
After the wheel was upgraded, Xu Po's vision became even more amazing. He could see through their Dantian. The foundation of his fellow cultivators could not escape his eyes.
Except Yue Qiaoling, the other four have already been transferred to the ship.
Han Honghua, Shangguan Yuzhou, and Yuan Xiao are all at the Xuan level of Dao foundation, and are truly the pride of Wudong.
Only Huangfu Wuqin and Kong Ju, when they looked at her, felt that her limbs, including her dantian, were filled with golden light, and they could not see through her foundation of Taoism.
Instead, his eyes were burned by the dazzling golden light.
Kong Ju quickly closed his virtual soul vision.
He was not surprised. He was already accustomed to Huangfu Wuqin's peculiarity.
On the contrary, Huangfu Wuqin noticed his prying, raised the corners of her pretty mouth, and asked with a smile: "Did you see anything?"
Kong Ju shook his head truthfully, and added: "Senior Sister Huangfu is a goddess, it's hard to tell."
While Kong Ju was looking at them, everyone present except Yue Qiaoling was secretly observing him in their own ways.
I just felt that his aura was like an ancient glacier, thick and cold. I guess he must also have a Xuan-level Taoist foundation.
Apart from that, except for the strange light flashing in Huangfu Wuqin's eyes, no one else could figure out what was going on.
Shangguan Yuzhou immediately filled Kong Ju's bowl with three bowls of wine and shouted, "You kid, you came back so late, you should be punished by drinking three bowls of wine."
"Great!" Kong Ju, who had just broken through the lifting wheel, was in a good mood. He took the wine and drank it. The atmosphere instantly became harmonious.
Even Yuan Xiao dropped the spiritual fruit and started drinking with Kong Ju.
Apart from Huangfu Wuqin's occasional glance, which made Kong Ju feel uneasy, there were no other unexpected events at the table.
"Senior Sister Huangfu's pupil technique is extremely miraculous. I'm afraid she has seen through my foundation."
Kong Ju was drinking and thinking silently.
Fortunately, Huangfu Wuqin was not a talkative person. He glanced at the wine and continued to eat the spiritual fruit with a smile.
Everyone at the banquet was smiling and talking about the battle. If nothing unexpected happened, this harmonious atmosphere would continue until the end.
Kong Ju was still thinking about going to see Mu Xiaoye and Dapeng after the banquet.
Who knew that after more than thirty minutes of drinking, everyone continued drinking until the afternoon.
Shi Jinchi's high-pitched voice suddenly reached Qingcang Palace.
"The Tianqi Dynasty, Prince Qingluan and the Second Prince of the Tianqi Dynasty are here to congratulate you."
As the voice fell, the leaders of various sects in Qingcang Palace and Kong Ju who was chatting and laughing with his friends were all stunned.
"Someone from the Tianqi Dynasty is coming?"
The Tianqi Dynasty and Wudong are separated by almost 200,000 miles. Although it is not as far as the distance from Wudong to Gujiang, it will still take several months for a Shenglun monk to travel this distance.
The monk Yanglun even counts in years.
Therefore, it is rare for people from the Tianqi Dynasty to visit Wudong.
Especially under the background that Dingyue Sect and Tianqi Dynasty are almost incompatible, there is no reason for Tianqi Dynasty to come.
Now that the Dingyue Sect has just fallen, the Tianqi Dynasty has sent envoys.
Judging from his titles, he is both a prince and a prince, but he still has great status.
"I don't know what the intention is!" Kong Ju secretly guessed the deeper meaning.
The leaders and elders of various factions also looked solemn.
At this time, Kong Ju's thoughts raced, and he was totally unaware that a hint of irritation appeared on the pretty face of Huangfu Wuqin, who was less than a body away from him.
While everyone was surprised, Shi Jinchi had already arrived with two figures flying in the air and landed on the Qingcang Palace.
One of the two men was a little older, with raised eyebrows and golden eyes. Perhaps because he had been in a high position for a long time, he walked with a majestic aura, like a dragon or a tiger.
He was wearing a red costume with a five-clawed dragon pattern, with the dragon claw pattern printed on both shoulders.
Kong Ju couldn't see through his cultivation level, but he thought it was at least the same level as Huangfu Ying, which was the fifth level of Shenglun.
One of them was young, about the same age as Kong Ju.
He was draped in bright yellow three-clawed dragon satin, had a tall stature, a stern face, and his every move exuded an innate nobility.
Oddly enough, this young man radiated the same golden light as Huangfu Wuqin, which also made Kong Ju unable to see through him.
However, he did not have the oppressive feeling of Huangfu Wuqin, who made people feel alert at first sight. Instead, his aura was somewhat similar to Lingxi, so he must be a distinguished figure as well.
Just as Kong Ju was looking at the two of them.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The deep voice of the elderly Prince Qingluan has spread throughout the Qingcang Palace: "Congratulations to Wudong for eradicating the Dingyue Demon Sect. The Tianqi Dynasty has prepared a small gift."
As he spoke, Prince Qingluan's eyes met Huangfu Ying's.
The two seemed to know each other. Huangfu Ying took a deep look at the latter, nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. Those who knew Huangfu Ying knew that it was a fake smile.
"Prince Qingluan is very polite. The Tianqi Dynasty is really well-informed."
He was heard telling Shi Jinchi in the palace, "Prince Qingluan has come from afar, please don't neglect him. Please invite the prince and the second prince to take their seats."
After the two of them exchanged polite greetings, Prince Qingluan, led by Shi Jinchi, took a seat on the far left side of the hall, close to the bottom of Huangfu Ying's chair.
However, the Second Prince stopped halfway and did not follow Prince Qingluan. He glanced straight at Kong Ju's table.
Finally, his eyes fixed on the figure of Huangfu Wuqin at the table, and he walked over with big strides.
His move immediately attracted attention from all directions.
Kong Ju didn't know what his intention was, so he looked at him with his eyes half-closed and a look full of scrutiny.
Shangguan Yuzhou took a deep breath and whispered to Kong Ju in an unclear tone: "This prince is not shy."
"Hey, you're courageous." Han Honghua grinned, her eyes full of interest, and she was looking forward to what would happen next.
Yuan Xiao behaved a little unfriendly.
It was obvious that the Second Prince came for Huangfu Wuqin and didn't take the people at their table seriously at all.
Everyone was thinking their own thoughts. The Second Prince had already walked up to Huangfu Wuqin, a smile appeared on his stern face, and he said softly, "Qinqin, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's been ten years since we last met. Are you okay?"
His voice was gentle, unlike his stern appearance. However, the moment he spoke, Kong Ju and the others were stunned.
"Do they know each other?"
Huangfu Wuqin's answer further confirmed this guess. She seemed to have a headache facing the Second Prince. After just a glance, she replied indifferently, "Very well."
The Second Prince seemed to have gotten used to Huangfu Wuqin's attitude, and he was no longer angry. His smile slowly faded.
Instead, he looked at Kong Ju and the others in front of him, and his eyes became cold again.
"Wudong's hospitality is really inappropriate. Do you want me to stand when I sit down to eat?"
The Second Prince's words were obviously meant for Kong Ju and the others to hear, and there was a veiled provocation in his words.
Yuan Xiao couldn't help it first, his dark green pupils shrank slightly, and he sneered: "You are worthy of sitting here."
Yuan Xiao's character was deeply influenced by the evil spirit of the dragon. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was arrogant and full of gunpowder.
The Second Prince glanced at Yuan Xiao, his eyes scrutinizing him like a superior, and suddenly asked, "Dragon's Evil?"
He could actually see at a glance that Yuan Xiao had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth.
Yuan Xiao did not respond, and the Second Prince continued, "Nothing more than that."
Yuan Xiao laughed in anger, and stood up directly, with a murderous look in his eyes: "Really?"
The situation suddenly became tense.
The elders from various factions in Qingcang Palace, including Prince Qingluan, Huangfu Ying and even the leader of Cuijin Sect, had no intention of stopping it.
Instead, he watched the scene silently.
This made Kong Ju suddenly understand something, and he and Shangguan Yuzhou looked at each other.
The latter had an eager look on his face.
Kong Ju also secretly circulated his spiritual power and prepared to take action.
After all, Yuan Xiao was a disciple of an allied sect that was fighting against Dingyue Sect, and the Second Prince was from Tianqi, so naturally he had to take action.
The battle was about to break out, and the dragon evil in Yuan Xiao's body was already rolling.
Just when the momentum of the two was about to burst out.
Huangfu Wuqin's voice came faintly: "Are you going to do it in front of me?"
The Second Prince's momentum subsided immediately after Huangfu Wuqin's voice fell. He looked at the latter calmly and stated in a gentle tone: "I just want to see if Wudong's genius is worthy of sitting with Qinqin."
"This is Wudong, not Tianqi." Huangfu Wuqin took a deep look at the second prince and lost interest in the spiritual fruits on the table. Her graceful figure flashed and disappeared at the table like a flash of lightning.
The second prince raised his foot and followed.
The people at the table looked at each other in bewilderment.
Kong Ju touched his chin, his expression suddenly brightened, and he muttered, "Not good, this kid is here for Junior Sister Huangfu."
The Second Prince's intentions were obvious, and anyone present with eyesight could see the flattery in his words towards Huangfu Wuqin.
Moreover, his behavior and demeanor showed that he did not take the other geniuses including Kong Jue seriously.
This made Kong Ju feel a little unhappy and a little sour at the same time.
He probably didn't even realize it himself.
Instead, it was Yuan Xiao who started to shout first. He took a sip of wine and his tone was full of sarcasm: "He is not even worthy of carrying Sister Huangfu's shoes."
"When did Fellow Daoist Yuan and Sister Huangfu become so intimate, calling her Sister Huangfu all the time." Yue Qiaoling chuckled softly, as if she found the performance of these grown men very interesting.
Shangguan Yuzhou was enjoying the fun and fanned the flames, saying, "Why don't we teach him a lesson?"
When it comes to fighting, Shangguan Yuzhou is always an activist.
His proposal was immediately approved by Yuan Xiao, who said with a cold look in his eyes: "That's exactly what I meant!"
"Add me to the fight." Han Honghua laughed on the side.
"Shall we go one by one, or all together?"
"Hmph, let me go meet him first!" Yuan Xiao threw down the wine bowl, and the next moment his figure had already rushed out.
Shangguan Yuzhou, Han Honghua and Yue Qiaoling naturally would not miss this great opportunity to watch the fun, and followed suit.
Kong Ju naturally did not want to be left behind, and thought to himself: "It would be good to find an opportunity to kick him a few times."
But as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Huangfu Ying's voice transmitted to his ear.
"Wait in the cave after the banquet."
Kong Ju turned his head when he heard this, and happened to see Huangfu Ying looking at him at the table, with unquestionable majesty in his eyes.
He obviously knew that those people were going to cause trouble for the Second Prince.
However, he did not stop him, but instead called out to Kong Ju. No one knew what his intention was.
Kong Ju touched his nose and could only sit at the table in disappointment.
The elders from other factions, including Prince Qingluan of the Tianqi Dynasty, continued to watch the situation unfold, with no intention of stopping it.
"He wants to use the hands of the Wudong geniuses to test the strength of the Tianqi Dynasty."
"Then Prince Qingluan must have the intention of exploring my Wudong's depth."
Kong Ju had already noticed this, but since Huangfu Ying didn't allow him to take any action, he could only endure it.
