Today, for many people, is still an ordinary day.
But for some people it is not.
In the morning, many of the Tianjiao who had arrived at Qingdi City received invitations from Guan Shuo, the Holy Son of Taixuan Holy Land. Guan Shuo stated in the invitation that he would host a banquet at Cangyun Residence for all the invited Tianjiao. The Tianjiao were impressed by the reputation of Taixuan Holy Land and Guan Shuo, and went there one after another.
Among these people are Fang Yiming, the holy son of Jiuyin Holy Land, Yu Xing, the eldest disciple of Tianyi Sect, Zu Shenglong, the young master of Qingfeng Tower, Wu Chengfeng, the leader of the four great heroes of Honghua School, Li Wenke, the contemporary Confucian scholar of Zhizhi Academy, Tian Yu, the young master of Chunyang Villa, Xingjue, the contemporary Buddhist of Longhua Temple, Wuzhen, the eldest disciple of Wuliang Temple, and Rao Feiying, the young master of Fengyuan Island. They are all well-known geniuses of the younger generation of the world, and the forces they belong to are also dominant and should not be underestimated.
But among these people, there was also Xu Feng from the Feiyutang Xu family, which made many people difficult to understand. Because in the eyes of many people, neither the Xu family nor Xu Feng himself was qualified to be compared with the other invited people.
In fact, Xu Feng was not on the original invitation list. But when Feng Shao learned that Chi Xuan was paying attention to Chen Ye, he suggested adding Xu Feng to the list.
Guan Shuo didn't understand why Feng Shao made such a decision. However, although Guan Shuo invited the banquet, it was actually Feng Shao who paid the bill. Guan Shuo was just a nominal figure. Since the host had decided to invite this person, Guan Shuo would naturally not object.
There is another situation that is both surprising and not surprising, that is, Chi Xuan from Jiuyou Holy Land is not on the invitation list.
It was said to be unexpected because Chi Xuan was not only a contemporary genius, but also the most powerful and famous genius. If Chi Xuan was not qualified to be invited in terms of strength, then everyone on the list was also not qualified.
It was not surprising, because anyone who knew Chi Xuan would not be willing to invite this evil star. Moreover, the contradiction and conflict between Guan Shuo and Chi Xuan were almost exposed, so Guan Shuo's decision not to invite Chi Xuan was natural and logical.
Although the invitation only listed the names of the invitees, it also specifically stated that everyone could bring a few companions or followers to the banquet, and it was recommended that the number of people should not exceed four. Therefore, many people brought one or two friends with them when they attended the banquet. Among those who were not on the list but also attended the banquet, a considerable number of them were the top people from second-rate sects.
It can be said that the number of people invited in the name of Guan Shuo is almost as many as those invited in the name of Feng Shao.
When Xu Feng received the invitation, he was overjoyed. One's own family knows one's own business. With the strength of the Feiyutang Xu family, it was rare to be invited by Feng Shao, not to mention Guan Shuo, who was much more famous than Feng Shao. He immediately took the invitation to Chen Ye and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, Taixuan Saint invited us to the Cangyun Residence for a banquet. You and Yue'er should come with me!"
The "Yue'er" that Xu Feng mentioned was his biological sister Xu Yue. The reason why Chen Ye was able to get in touch with Xu Feng was because he had once helped Xu Yue with a small favor, and thus gained the favor of the siblings.
But in the face of Xu Feng's cordial invitation, Chen Ye showed no joy on his face. For some reason, he had been feeling uneasy since last night, as if something big was going to happen. He carefully recalled for a long time, and meditated for a whole night, but found nothing. But because of this, he became more and more uneasy.
Is there something important that I have overlooked?
While he was deep in thought, Xu Feng came to him with an invitation, inviting him to attend a banquet at Cangyunju. Chen Ye could only suppress his uneasiness and said with a forced smile, "In that case, I will respectfully obey your order!"
Chen Ye had also heard of Guan Shuo. He heard that Guan Shuo had a wide range of friends and was very prestigious among the younger generation, and that he had the talent to be a leader of the younger generation. Since Chen Ye began to benefit from the Yinyun Purple Pendant, his vision had become higher and higher, and he was also yearning for Guan Shuo's reputation and status. But since he was the son of destiny, he was unwilling to be inferior to others. Therefore, his plan was to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Guan Shuo, and then obtain the support of Taixuan Holy Land through Guan Shuo, so as to build his own power.
As for Xu Yue, she has been secretly in love with Chen Ye these days. Although Chen Ye only helped her a little, it did not stop her from focusing all her attention on this ambitious young man. Xu Feng was also happy to see this happen, and did not stop his sister from getting close to Chen Ye. Instead, he intentionally or unintentionally brought the two together.
Therefore, these days, Chen Ye and Xu Yue have been going out together, just like a couple.
However, in Chen Ye's heart, only someone with Lin Xiaoran's status and appearance was qualified to be his legal wife. As for Xu Yue, although she was also young and beautiful, she was still a little behind Lin Xiaoran. Therefore, he regarded Xu Yue more as a tool to connect the Xu family and one of the candidates for the future harem.
Poor Xu Yue thought she had found a lover worthy of her lifelong commitment, and was still foolishly fantasizing about a happy life in the future.
After the three of them had everything ready, they went to Cang Yun Ju for a banquet that evening.
At the same time, Chen Ye was not the only one who was uneasy. Chi Xuan also felt uneasy for the first time in a long time. However, the source of his uneasiness was more certain, that is, there was no news from his protector.
This is unreasonable.
In Chi Xuan's opinion, he just asked Ying Lao to kill Feng Shao. No matter how powerful Feng Shao was, he was limited in his training time and could only reach the Spiritual Transformation Realm at most. For Ying Lao, who had already reached the Great Purity Realm, killing Feng Shao would not be much more difficult than killing a chicken.
But after one night, not only did Chi Xuan not hear the news of Feng Shao's death, he also failed to wait for Ying Lao to come back to report. How could he not be surprised?
Chi Xuan felt that the biggest possibility that Feng Shao was still alive was that there was also an expert protecting him. But even so, even if Ying Lao couldn't beat that expert, he could still run away, right? You know, Ying Lao's best abilities are hiding and assassination! Since he is good at hiding, his ability to escape is naturally first-class.
Since he got the system, Chi Xuan has been used to the feeling of having everything under control. At this moment, the development of things was beyond his expectations, and he was a little panicked. He thought about it and felt that the biggest possibility was that Ying Lao took this opportunity to escape and leave the Jiuyou Holy Land.
As for the possibility of being killed? Chi Xuan didn't believe it. Feng Shao had limited connections, and the only people who could protect him were the masters of Yunjian Pavilion. But in his opinion, no one in Yunjian Pavilion could kill Ying Lao, so the possibility of Ying Lao being killed naturally did not exist.
In short, Chi Xuan would never admit that it was his miscalculation that led to Ying Lao’s disappearance.
When he thought that the man he trusted the most, Ying Lao, might have abandoned him, Chi Xuan could not help but feel angry. He had already started thinking about how to cut the man who dared to betray him into pieces after he found Ying Lao.
When he woke up the next day, Chi Xuan looked calm and composed, as if nothing had happened. However, during breakfast, he killed the two cooks who served him, saying that they put too little salt and too much chili, respectively.
For a time, everyone in the inn of the Jiuyou Holy Land was trembling with fear, as if they were walking on thin ice, for fear that they would accidentally anger this moody Holy Son and die inexplicably.
While eating, Chi Xuan pretended to be calm in order to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, "Brother Xin, is there anything special today?"
Xin Ruxiong said in a deep voice: "People from Changsheng Sect, Fengyun Hall, and Tengyun Villa arrived in Qingdi City last night. But whether they are on Feng Shao's invitation list is still unknown."
Chi Xuan sneered and said disdainfully: "Feng Shao's vision is really getting lower and lower. He invites all kinds of ants."
At this point, he knocked on the table and said, "What else?"
"Ying San and his companions have just reported that the entire Chen family in Zhongshan City has been annihilated, leaving no one alive."
Chi Xuan nodded and said calmly, "Not bad."
Xin Ruxiong continued, "Guan Shuo, the Holy Son of Taixuan Holy Land, sent out invitations to more than a dozen geniuses from first-rate sects and forces this morning, inviting them to a banquet at Cangyun Residence tonight at twilight hour. The invited guests include Fang Yiming, the Holy Son of Jiuyin Holy Land, Yu Xing, the eldest disciple of Tianyi Sect, and Zu Shenglong, the young master of Qingfeng Tower..."
Xin Ruxiong spoke a series of names of sects, forces and geniuses. However, Chi Xuan frowned more and more as he listened, and couldn't help but interrupt Xin Ruxiong at the end: "Wait, Guan Shuo even invited the bald donkeys from Longhua Temple and Wuliang Temple, but didn't invite me?"
Xin Ruxiong replied: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Holy Son and Guan Shuo have always been at odds. It should be reasonable for Guan Shuo not to invite His Royal Highness the Holy Son, right?"
Chi Xuan glanced at Xin Ruxiong coldly and said, "We may not get along, but we still have to be polite. I can choose not to attend the banquet, but he, Guan Shuo, has to invite me. Humph! Guan Shuo invited everyone but me. I think he is deliberately trying to intimidate me!"
He knocked on the table and said calmly, "Since he didn't invite me, I'll just come here uninvited! I want to see if Guan Shuo dares to turn me away!"
Xin Ruxiong nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go down and prepare it now."
When Xin Ruxiong turned his head, his eyes narrowed slightly inadvertently.
In fact, there is another very important news that he did not report to Chi Xuan, that is, it is rumored that Leng Lingyue, the head of Lengyue Hall of Yunjian Pavilion, has also arrived in Qingdi City. If this news is reported to Chi Xuan, he will surely guess why Ying Lao is missing, right?
Xin Ruxiong knew Chi Xuan very well. He knew very well that as long as Chi Xuan did not know about the existence of a master like Leng Lingyue, he would continue to be as arrogant as before until he destroyed himself.
As for whether other people would tell Chi Xuan about this rumor? Xin Ruxiong was not worried about this at all. For Chi Xuan, those who were not afraid of him would distance themselves from him, and those who were afraid of him would avoid him. Except for Ying San and his diehard followers, no one would be willing to take the initiative to run to Chi Xuan and tell him the news. Because in the Jiuyou Holy Land, almost everyone had a consensus, that is, if you want to survive in front of Chi Xuan, you should try to keep your mouth shut.
Don't seek to be meritorious, but seek to avoid mistakes.
As for Ying San and others...
Xin Ruxiong sneered in his heart.
Ying San and the others will never come back...
