The main gate is located directly north of the inner courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy.
The continuous mountain range, with its rich spiritual energy, causes layers of mist to rise from a towering peak, creating a breathtaking sight.
"As expected of the Gan Sect, which possesses the strongest main spiritual vein!"
Qin Xin sighed inwardly, for the moment he stepped into the Qian Gate, he immediately felt the martial spirit flowing naturally, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth constantly gathered towards him. Moreover, this was only the outer perimeter of the Qian Gate, and the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth even surpassed that of the main peak of the Kun Gate.
"No wonder the inner disciples are so desperate to enter the Qianmen sect."
After Qin Xin sighed softly, the Kun Gate mark on his body lit up the instant he entered the Qian Gate.
"Non-disciples of the sect must leave within half a day."
The two doormen-like guards at the entrance gave Qin Xin a somewhat arrogant look.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xin nodded slightly and walked towards the location indicated on the invitation.
Along the way, Qin Xin discovered the difference between the Ganmen and Kunmen. The Ganmen did not have different peaks and was entirely managed by the sect leader and two deputy sect leaders. Moreover, only one main peak was inhabited by disciples who had successfully entered the Ganmen. The other peaks were inhabited by inner disciples who wanted to enter the Ganmen or by followers brought by Ganmen disciples. However, it seemed that there was a limit to the number of these followers.
Upon reaching the Ganmen Square, Qin Xin finally understood why the Eighth Elder lamented the current state of the Kunmen Sect. The Ganmen Square was filled with numerous massive stone tablets, each bearing a name that seemed to belong to a powerful figure from the Ganmen Sect. The square itself was enormous, surrounded by bustling buildings, resembling a town with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants.
In contrast, the Kunmen sect is now like a pile of loose sand, and has even split into five peaks, which are fighting openly and covertly for their own interests.
Qin Xin also understood why the Eighth Elder was looking forward to the restart of the main peak. It seemed that they were waiting for the main peak to lead the re-condensation of the Kunmen and prevent it from remaining at the bottom among the Eight Gates.
Qin Xin stopped before reaching a pavilion.
"Drunken Cloud Tower!"
Qin Xin was somewhat surprised when he saw the three large, gilded characters.
The restaurant is located in the most bustling area of Kunmen Square, so anyone who can book the entire restaurant must be very wealthy.
Qin Xin walked to the entrance of the restaurant, handed the invitation to the maid at the door, and was led directly to the second floor of Zuixiaolou.
Upon entering, Qin Xin immediately sensed the powerful aura emanating from the place. Many martial artists had already found seats at the banquet to avoid resting and ignored Qin Xin's arrival.
"It seems quite a few disciples from various schools have arrived."
Qin Xin smiled slightly, glanced at the inner courtyard disciples at the banquet, and saw several familiar figures.
"Oh? Brother Qin Xin, you received an invitation too?"
Just as I was about to find a seat and see who was so generous as to invite so many people to the Drunken Cloud Pavilion, a clear voice suddenly came from behind me.
Qin Xin turned around and saw a man with a golden mark on his forehead and a somewhat heroic air about him staring at him. After a flash of surprise in his eyes, he said, "Oh, Brother Ye."
To Qin Xin's surprise, he didn't even see Wu Fa here. He hadn't expected that Ye Langtian would be invited as well, and he was quite curious about the man's identity.
"Speaking of Brother Qin Xin, you really surprise me. I never expected you to surpass Kong Bai in alchemy," Ye Langtian said with a smile.
"Brother Ye, you have surprised me quite a bit. I never expected you to be one of the top ten disciples of the Kunmen Sect."
Qin Xin spoke somewhat politely, but Ye Langtian's identity was rather mysterious, and he was also a little wary of him.
"It's not that I intentionally concealed it from Brother Qin, but my family comes from the Yan Dynasty and is a member of the royal family. However, my status is low, so no one looks up to me. This royal status is just a burden to me."
Seeing Qin Xin's somewhat wary expression, Ye Langtian directly revealed his family's background.
Seeing Ye Langtian's straightforwardness, Qin Xin's wary gaze softened considerably, and he asked, "Brother Ye, do you know who invited this banquet?"
"They must be members of the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty."
Ye Langtian shrugged and then said, "These members of the royal family must need a lot of support in order to inherit the throne. Moreover, the Eastern Wilderness Academy is located within the Great Xia Dynasty and has many geniuses. This is probably to win them over. Of course, Brother Qin is one of them."
"oh?"
Upon hearing that it was the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty, Qin Xin knew that his guess was pretty much correct.
Just as they were talking, several figures stepped into the Drunken Cloud Tower.
Qin Xin's pupils dilated instantly upon seeing the appearance of the person at the very front.
The young man before them was dressed in plain clothes, appearing somewhat unassuming. Beside him stood a woman with a slender waist, wearing a fiery red dress. Her breasts were squeezed so tightly they seemed about to burst out, and with each step, her figure swayed, a sight that stirred the blood of the onlookers.
The woman walked arm in arm with the man, her eyes filled with spring-like longing, leaving much to the imagination.
"Xia Qi!"
Qin Xin immediately recognized the person in front of him as the second prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the two people beside him were Ruan Yuan and Ruan Xiaoman.
Previously, in the ruins of Luoshen Gate, if it weren't for Danqing's help, he would probably have died under that Dharma Image Spiritual Decree long ago.
"Oh? Brother Qin knows this Xia Qi?"
Seeing Qin Xin's expression, Ye Langtian asked with some confusion.
"I guess so."
Qin Xin nodded slightly. Because his and Ye Langtian's location was not conspicuous, Xia Qi did not notice him after arriving with Ruan Xiaoman. Instead, he greeted the disciples of the inner courtyard.
"Xia Qi is one of the most promising successors of the future Great Xia Dynasty. He has already reached the second level of the Qi Sea Realm. It is likely that the Great Xia royal family sent him to the inner court for some training."
Ye Langtian spoke with a hint of envy, as if he also longed to receive the same level of attention from Xia Qi.
Qin Xin didn't speak to Ye Langtian, but instead focused his attention on Xia Qi, who appeared to be a gentleman on the surface. When he looked at Ruan Xiaoman beside him, he couldn't help but feel disgusted, because after Ruan Xiaoman sat down, her hands kept wandering over Ruan Yuan's body, while Xia Qi smiled and seemed to be used to it.
Just after the three of them sat down, another figure entered the pavilion. Qin Xin glanced at him and recognized a very familiar person.
Lin Jinglei had shaved off his beard and was now dressed in a white robe, carrying a long sword wrapped in cloth. He exuded an air of otherworldly elegance, but the killing intent emanating from him from time to time made people feel uneasy.
"Brother Jinglei, please take a seat!"
When Xia Qi saw Lin Jinglei enter, he quickly got up to greet him.
Lin Jinglei's current status in the Ganmen is clearly extraordinary, which is why Xia Qi, the second prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, is being so polite.
"I wonder what instructions the Second Prince has for me?"
Just as Lin Jinglei was invited to sit down, a woman's delicate shout came from outside the pavilion.
When a stunningly beautiful face appeared in the pavilion, Qin Xin realized that the person who had come was none other than Shui Qingxi.
"How could it be an order? I met with the Prince of Zhennan a few days ago, and he entrusted me to take good care of you," Xia Qi said with a smile. "Please do me the honor of having a meal before you leave, Miss Qingxi. All these things were brought from the palace!"
Shui Qingxi didn't say anything, but went straight to the table next to the head of the table and sat down.
Seeing Shui Qingxi sit down, Xia Qi's smile widened. After clapping his hands, some maids carried in some food that exuded strong spiritual energy.
"The Prince of Zhennan, huh?"
Qin Xin was also surprised by Shui Qingxi's identity. After hearing about the Prince of Zhennan, he guessed that Shui Qingxi was the only daughter of the Prince of Zhennan.
As the only non-royal king of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Prince of Zhennan fought for the dynasty for decades, which is how he achieved his current status. He commands an army of 100,000, and even the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty attaches great importance to him.
However, Qin Xin was puzzled as to why Shui Qingxi, with her status and strength, would be valued even in the inner courtyard of the Qian Sect, would join the Kun Sect, which was like a disorganized mess.
