Chapter 164 Prize
What followed almost completely blocked the other party's path.
It should be noted that Jin Fuzhen was able to be adopted as a goddaughter by the head of the Golden Crow Temple because her talent was superior to that of Jin Hongze, and therefore her cultivation was also above that of Jin Hongze, with her Foundation Establishment nearing completion and approaching the Core Formation stage.
Jin Fuzhen had long been swayed by Ye Wuluo's words. Even with her eyes covered, she knew that all eyes were on her. She raised her neck like a swan raising its head, "It would be wonderful if Miss Mu were willing."
Isn't Mu Jianjian still Ye Wuluo's childhood sweetheart?
She was going to utterly defeat Ye Wuluo in front of her, and show her no mercy!
These words caused an uproar in the hall.
Who wouldn't want to see the lesbian Xuan Shuang Sect ladies of the Golden Crow Era sparring and competing?
"Pfft—" In a corner of the hall, a man covered his mouth, trying hard to suppress his laughter.
Hahaha, it's been so long since we've seen Jianjian, why is she still so vengeful? She dug a hole and tricked someone into it, burying them in it.
How could Ye Xuanzhi not know Mu Jianjian's true strength?
Despite being only at the Foundation Establishment stage, his combat reflexes and terrifying true qi and spiritual power make it easy for him to defeat opponents at higher levels, such as Core Formation. How could he possibly be afraid of fighting a Golden Crow Ji Nu!
The Supreme Palace watched the confrontation between the Golden Crow Shrine and the Xuan Shuang Sect in the hall. Deputy Palace Master Xu stroked his white beard and chuckled a few times, "This Mu family girl is quite interesting."
When Mu Yutian sent him a jade slip praising his precious daughter, he didn't take it to heart. After all, when he first met her, he only thought she was delicate and weak, but he didn't expect her to be like a different person after not seeing her for a long time.
His words implied that the other side should show mercy, but his expression clearly showed that he didn't take them seriously.
The man beside Old Xu wore a dark green brocade robe with exquisitely carved white patterns. A lifelike crane was carved upwards from the hem of the robe. Gong Yuanjin had a cold expression and reached out to pour tea into the teacup in front of him, seemingly unaware of the commotion around him.
"Jin'er, among so many female cultivators from various sects here, haven't you taken a fancy to any of them?" Old Xu chuckled as he approached the man, but was stopped by the look the man gave him, and touched his nose.
"They've arrived." Gong Yuanjin looked up at the palace gate, his eyes narrowing.
The two entered the hall one after the other.
The man was dressed entirely in a black robe with a jade-white geometric patterned belt around his waist. His hair was tied up with a gilded crown, and his expression was clear and serene. He was tall and slender, with a cold and aloof demeanor. His appearance was not aggressive at all, yet everyone present dared not underestimate him.
The latter, dressed in white like snow, was as gentle and refined as jade, like a reclusive gentleman, ethereal and untouched by worldly dust.
In an instant, everyone present focused their attention on the two of them, especially on the man behind Nangong Yining, their eyes filled with a mixture of amazement and other emotions.
Who doesn't know what kind of devil Chi Wenqing's biological father, Chi Qiong, was in his lifetime?
Now that he has become the young ruler of Yingzhou through Nangong Yining, especially as the disciple of the leader of the Xuanshuang Sect, it is unknown whether this will affect the situation of the seven powers standing in a tripartite balance on the continent...
Chi Wenqing raised his gaze and looked at the exquisitely dressed girl on the side of the hall, meeting her eyes.
Mu Jianjian didn't flinch, but met the white-robed man's gaze head-on, and then glared at him fiercely.
They locked her in the palace without saying a word. What did they take her for?
Chi Wenqing recalled that he wanted to see her during the day, but unexpectedly the array core in the palace was not destroyed. The person he had been thinking about day and night disappeared into thin air. Finally, he learned from the Xuan Shuang Sect that Jianjian had returned.
He slowly followed behind Nangong Yining and sat on the side seat in front of the hall. He finally looked up at the girl with apologetic eyes, but only he knew what he truly wanted in his heart.
After all, before taking Jianjian into his arms, he still had to pretend to be a gentle senior brother.
Mu Jianjian, who received a lukewarm apology, was very unhappy and was thinking about when she could find an opportunity to "repay" her senior brother. Meanwhile, Sang Wanyue, who was beside her, had already noticed the interaction between the two.
"Jianjian," Sang Wanyue interrupted Mu Jianjian's thoughts, "Are you confident in your competition with Jin Fuzhen later?"
She hesitated to speak about Chi Wenqing, but eventually changed the subject. Sang Wanyue, who was usually decisive, always seemed indecisive when it came to questions about Mu Jianjian.
"Yes, there are some." Mu Jianjian listened to Nangong Yining's speech before the banquet in front of the palace. She always felt a bit lazy when she was communicating with Yueyue telepathically. "Don't worry, Yueyue, even if we can't beat them, we still have you."
The girl's complete trust put Sang Wanyue at ease. She looked at Mu Jianjian, who had started to steal some pastries, with doting eyes, and then glanced at the cultivators around her with their various expressions.
Since the grand banquet lasted for three days, after Nangong Yining finished speaking and announced the start of the banquet, it was time for the cultivators from all walks of life to raise their glasses and chat. Beautiful singers and musicians appeared in the hall in an orderly fashion, pushing the lively atmosphere to its peak.
At this moment, Jin Hongze stood up, exchanged a few polite words with Demon Lord Nangong Yining, and then explained the purpose of Jin Fuzhen's martial arts sparring match with Mu Jianjian.
One of Nangong Yining's original purposes in holding the banquet was to lure out Chi Qiong's former subordinates to obtain the secret technique. Although he knew that the other party was unlikely to appear on the first day of the banquet, he was still bored. Since this meant that the two factions would be competing, he naturally wouldn't miss it.
After he laughed and agreed, he even added one of his own high-grade magical artifacts as a prize.
Chi Wenqing rolled up her snow-white sleeves, rested her elbows on the wooden chair, and smiled, "I'll add another bet, Shangqing Chan."
A white whisk floated up in front of the man, the whisk forming a whisk in front and a staff behind, clear and bright, radiating a pale golden light.
At first glance, it is a top-grade Taoist ritual implement, perfectly suited for the secret arts of the Golden Crow Temple!
Jin Hongze was determined to win, his eyes revealing greed.
While everyone was still in shock at the young master's extravagant gesture, Ye Wuluo spoke up again in the next second. He quickly waved his fan and said, "Then let me add another stroke: the Evil-Repelling Pearl."
Evil-repelling beads are extremely rare in the world. The thing that cultivators fear most on their path of cultivation and advancement is going into demonic possession and damaging their Dao heart. Evil-repelling beads can largely avoid these problems!
“Since everyone is participating, I’ll also join in,” said Elder Xu of the Supreme Palace with a cheerful voice. “I will present the Radiant Silk that I recently forged to the winner of our sparring match.”
Anyway, that old man Mu Yutian is always nagging him, so he might as well take this opportunity to give this Mu girl a gift as a token of his appreciation.
These words struck the crowd like a thunderbolt.
This is insane! As the deputy palace master of the Supreme Palace, Elder Xu is a renowned blacksmith across the continent!
The magical artifacts he forged were all of the highest quality, yet he casually used them as prizes for a competition.
Hearing about the high-grade magical artifacts that were being offered one after another, everyone wished they could go up and have a martial arts match with them.
