He had only made a casual remark, but he hadn't expected to be caught red-handed. If he were to admit it, he couldn't imagine Bai Renhan's rage. Even though he was a direct descendant of the Bai family, he was no less important than Bai Renhan. On the contrary, he was even more afraid that if Bai Renhan took his anger out on him, he would have no chance at all.
Gu Yifeng glanced at the man coldly and said indifferently, "Since you didn't say my brother was blind, I'm too lazy to pursue what you said before. I hope you remember every word you just said."
"I... I will remember!" the man nodded hurriedly, as if he had been greatly frightened.
"Mm." Gu Yifeng nodded, took a step forward, and prepared to leave with Chu Feng.
The others watched Gu Yifeng's dashing departure with a hint of admiration on their faces. Ximen Guyan had hosted this banquet to recruit disciples, and now that the young man had passed the test, Ximen Guyan would surely appreciate him.
Thinking of this, many people followed Gu Yifeng and left together.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Gu Yifeng raised an eyebrow, looking at Chu Feng beside him with some surprise.
They came to participate in the test together, so they should stand together through thick and thin. It's rather strange that Chu Feng is standing here.
"I've been waiting for you," Chu Feng said with a smile, his face showing a simple and honest expression.
Seeing Chu Feng's appearance, Gu Yifeng vaguely guessed what was going on. He shook his head and said, "You rascal, you're not planning to trick me again, are you?"
"You guessed that?" Chu Feng blushed slightly, scratched his head, and looked embarrassed.
Gu Yifeng's face darkened. This guy was definitely not honest.
"You should go back and rest first. I still have some things to take care of." Gu Yifeng waved to Chu Feng and said. Chu Feng nodded upon hearing this and left without insisting.
Watching Chu Feng leave, Gu Yifeng lowered his eyes, then lifted his feet and walked in another direction.
That direction is where the Nine Immortals Palace is located. Some outstanding juniors from the Nine Immortals Palace have also come to observe this test.
At this moment, a number of handsome young men gathered in the square of the Nine Immortals Palace, sitting in small groups chatting about the test.
Not far in front of them stood two middle-aged beauties, one gentle and graceful, as charming as the misty rain of Jiangnan; the other charming and beautiful, her purple dress accentuating her alluring curves, leaning on the middle-aged beauty's shoulder, clearly indicating an intimate relationship.
Both were dressed in the attire of the Nine Immortals Palace, possessing extraordinary temperament and stunning beauty. The woman, in particular, had beautiful eyes like autumn water, sparkling with a thousand spring waves within them.
"Do you think there's anything special about this year's disciples of Ximen Guyan? How confident are they of winning the championship?" a young man in brocade robes asked casually.
"Isn't that a stupid question? Of course, there's no doubt about it."
Another voice rang out from the side. It belonged to a tall, elegant man. He wore a blue brocade robe, held a folding fan, and was dashing and debonair, giving people a handsome and dashing feeling. However, there was an unruly temperament in his eyes.
This person was none other than Yun Shitian, the prodigy of Yunxiao Palace in the Yunhuang Mountains who had a grudge against Gu Yifeng.
A woman beside Yun Shitian smiled and said, "It is said that Ximen Guyan's eldest disciple is named Ximen Bingyue. He is exceptionally talented. Not only is his cultivation speed fast, but his martial arts realm also breaks through very rapidly. In just a few years, he reached the peak of the second level of Yuanhuang. He can be called another monstrous talent after Ximen Bingyue. Moreover, he is calm and reserved, and does not compete or fight. Therefore, he is well-liked in the sect and often helps others among the disciples of the various peaks."
Upon hearing this, Yun Shitian's eyes flashed with a profound light. Ximen Bingyue, Ximen Guyan's personal disciple this time, was indeed very strong, but not enough for him to take seriously.
"What do you think?" Yun Shitian looked at the other young man.
"I don't know that person," the young man said indifferently, a hint of arrogance flashing in his eyes, clearly unwilling to talk to others.
"Hmph." Yun Shitian glanced at the young man with disdain. If he didn't want to talk, did he want to know?
"I am somewhat interested in that person. I heard that he once boasted in Tianyu Kingdom that he would wipe out the Four Royal Palaces in three days. That's quite an boast."
At that moment, a voice came from the side, and everyone's eyes turned to the speaker. The speaker was a young man in black robes, with a handsome face and an aura of domineering authority that made people dare not look him in the eye.
"It's him." Everyone's eyes narrowed, a hint of apprehension in their gazes. This black-robed youth was Lei Lingtian, a top genius of the Thunder Sword Palace.
"So powerful?" Yun Shitian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances at the black-robed youth. It seemed that this person had some background and could not be regarded with ordinary eyes.
Gu Yifeng arrived at a secluded place where no one was around. He took out a communication jade pendant and probed it with his soul power. In an instant, a familiar voice came from the jade pendant: "Master wants you to go there immediately."
"I'll be there right away," Gu Yifeng replied, knowing that his master had something urgent to discuss with him.
After saying that, Gu Yifeng's figure turned into a phantom and disappeared from the spot, heading towards the area where the Tai Cang Formation was located. He did not deliberately conceal his figure and had no obstacles along the way. Soon after, he arrived at that vast area.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Qin."
A loud and clear voice came from the crowd. Gu Yifeng looked in one direction, where a group of young people were gathered. They were all looking at him respectfully, their eyes filled with admiration.
Gu Yifeng was taken aback for a moment, then he understood why these people called him Senior Brother Qin; it was probably at the behest of their master.
"Senior Brother Qin, this is a treasure I brought back from the outside world. Please accept it." A cheerful voice rang out. Gu Yifeng turned his head and saw a figure walking over. There were several people with him. Among them, Gu Yifeng recognized a few of them. They were the disciples who had been defeated on the Heavenly Punishment Platform.
"Good stuff?" Gu Yifeng's eyes lit up immediately. These people were all disciples of the Nine Immortals Palace, so naturally they wouldn't try to fool him with some trash. It seemed that he had made the right bet. The Nine Immortals Palace would indeed treat him well and gave him a generous reward.
"Of course, this is a top-grade spirit stone." As they spoke, the people on the Heavenly Execution Platform handed out several storage rings, each containing a crystal-clear round bead.
Gu Yifeng took the round bead, and immediately a rich and pure spiritual energy emanated from it, refreshing and invigorating. His eyes narrowed instantly, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Although top-grade elemental stones are rare and scarce, the Nine Immortals Palace has a very rich foundation and naturally possesses a considerable number of them.
"You've done very well. You can use the resources from these past few days for your cultivation, but don't forget the sect rules. If you violate them, you'll bear the consequences," Gu Yifeng reminded them. The fact that these people were willing to offer up their spirit stones showed that they had already acknowledged his existence, so he didn't need to give them any further instructions.
"Yes," the men bowed and replied.
Gu Yifeng nodded, then glanced around. He had released his spiritual power just now, but he hadn't detected a single trace of Yuan energy. It was as if there was no one here at all!
