After all, the Xuanzhen Sect is powerful, even if Li Buyi loses, they still have the Sect Leader of the Xuanzhen Sect.
Feng Xian, however, didn’t care. He stood up with a smile to welco the three sect leaders to their seats and hastily ordered the disciples to brew tea.
Shen Ming, along with a few fellow disciples, busied themselves for a while before finally setting the tea and fruit trays properly.
The major sects even use underground spiritual springs for brewing tea. As for what tea leaves are used, there is much to consider.
Simply put, everything has its origins. This also reflects the grandeur of a powerful sect.
Even if it’s just for show, one must let outsiders see the strength of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Feng Xian chatted and laughed with the various sect leaders, avoiding any serious matters. It wasn’t the ti to discuss anything serious anyway.
Standing at the back, Shen Ming saw Jiang Lan. His eyes lit up as he quietly approached and asked in a low voice, "Junior Sister Jiang, you also ca."
The last ti he went on an adventure with Jiang Lan to slay the Snake Demon was only a month ago.
The reason Shen Ming followed Jiang Lan was that he had taken a liking to her. Unfortunately, during the snake demon-slaying event, he made a fool of himself. If not for Gao Xuan, he would have died.
So, that ti Shen Ming didn’t have the face to say anything to Jiang Lan.
Whether in cultivation or appearance and deanor, he knew he was far inferior to Gao Xuan.
But since the Five Elents Sect was destroyed, Gao Xuan might be dead, so Shen Ming naturally had so thoughts seeing Jiang Lan again.
Jiang Lan smiled gently at Shen Ming, "Senior Brother Shen, here we are again."
Shen Ming was slightly dazed by Jiang Lan’s clear smile, and he felt a bit embarrassed for losing his composure, "It has only been a few days, and Junior Sister grows more radiant."
"Thanks to Senior Brother’s fortune."
Jiang Lan was quite articulate. She didn’t think much of the naive Shen Ming, but it didn’t stop her from flattering him.
After just a few words, Shen Ming was so enchanted by Jiang Lan that he felt giddy, eager to take Jiang Lan ho as a dao companion.
"I wonder who will win this ti. I still hope Wang Haichan wins, to quell the arrogance of the Xuanzhen Sect..."
Fearing Shen Ming might impulsively speak intimately, Jiang Lan skillfully diverted the topic.
When faced with such a significant topic, Shen Ming naturally engaged in earnest dialogue, with no ti to dwell on those romantic words.
Sure enough, Shen Ming said, "You’re right. The Xuanzhen Sect is too arrogant. They think they can dominate Penglai Province with just two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, as if that’s possible!"
Thinking of this, Shen Ming sighed deliberately, "It’s infuriating that Li Buyi is so tyrannical, directly destroying the Five Elents Sect. Fellow Daoist Gao was a rare genius with extraordinary charm and presence. I don’t even know if he’s dead or alive..."
Jiang Lan sighed inwardly; Shen Ming really had a knack for conversation by bringing up Gao Xuan, who was far superior to him.
Jiang Lan considered for a mont and said, "I hope Fellow Daoist Gao is blessed by the heavens."
She instinctively felt Gao Xuan wasn’t dead, and she also hoped he wasn’t. If Gao Xuan died, the forbidden spiritual artifact controlling her divine soul would be lost.
Lacking this part of the divine soul would make completing Foundation Establishnt difficult.
However, things had reached this point, and even their sect leader Yun Qingxia was powerless, let alone her.
At this point, she could only leave it to fate.
Shen Ming was still pretending to be compassionate, "With Fellow Daoist Gao’s aptitude, if he were alive, I could lead him into our sect, and he’d surely have a promising future..."
Jiang Lan found it amusing. If Gao Xuan joined the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Shen Ming might lose sleep over it...
Still, she showed an expression of admiring approval, "Senior Brother Shen is truly generous and righteous..."
As they were speaking, Wang Haichan and Li Buyi soared into the sky, and soon, two distinct auras of Nascent Soul True Monarchs rapidly spread out.
Wang Haichan, with an aged visage, held a small triangular banner in hand, which was the Ancient Celestial Secret Banner of the Celestial Secret Sect.
Opposite him, Li Buyi wielded the Crimson Profound Yang Sword, casting crimson sword qi that dyed half of the sky.
The other half was occupied by the cyan light radiating from the Celestial Secret Banner.
The cyan and red divine lights opposed each other, divided into clear boundaries, each occupying one half of the Celestial Water.
Even the cultivators observing from dozens of miles away were enveloped by the red and cyan divine lights.
So cultivators unaware of the danger suddenly lost control of their magical artifacts, which plumted straight from the sky.
In an instant, at least one or two hundred cultivators fell into the lake below, their survival unknown.
Even the giant ship of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Jade Sky Thunderlight Dharma Cloud of the Cloud Mist Sect couldn’t help but be intimidated by the Nascent Soul True Monarchs’ power, retracting their strength for self-protection.
Cultivators like Shen Ming, still in Qi Cultivation, turned pale. With their cultivation, just bearing the pressure from the Nascent Soul True Monarchs felt like having a mountain on their backs, making it impossible to channel primordial qi.
Not until now did people realize the might of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Even Feng Xian and Yun Qingxia, both Golden Core True Masters, showed stern faces. Before either side even made a move, the Qi aura of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs had already swept across the land.
Such formidable power indeed made the many Golden Core True Masters inwardly tremble.
Li Buyi and Wang Haichan were a re few dozen ters apart, with no intention of concerning themselves with the spectators. With a look exchanged, they were ready to fight.
At that mont, a powerful wave of primordial qi suddenly ca from the sky.
Li Buyi and Wang Haichan both narrowed their eyes, suspecting the other side of so trick. Neither dared to act rashly, restraining their aura and preparing for any unexpected changes.
In the air, a group of five-colored divine light blossod like a flower, and then three people walked out of the divine light.
Leading them was a cute and lovely girl in a cyan robe, followed by a gentle and elegant woman in white.
However, it was the youthful Daoist in the back who drew everyone’s attention.
His appearance was brilliant like jade, with an enigmatic dark gold Daoist robe exuding a profound mystery, while a luminous and clear glow encircled him, adding an extraordinary celestial grace.
The youth stood there, displaying the deanor of an immortal.
Not only that, but what caught the eye was the substantial Profound Gold Long Spear in his hand.
The youthful immortal’s deanor, combined with such an assertive and weighty spear, appeared incongruous.
Others might let it slide, but both Wang Haichan and the nurous experts of the Celestial Secret Sect clearly recognized the spear in the young man’s hand as their sect’s divine artifact, the Kunyuan Divine Spear!
This realization stirred the Celestial Secret Sect disciples significantly.
Even Wang Haichan’s expression changed, and his gaze towards Gao Xuan brimd with murderous intent.
Li Buyi was unconcerned with the spear, focusing more on Gao Xuan himself. The aura from this youth was precisely the subtle aura left after Lv Butong and Lv Jinlian were killed.
Without a doubt, Gao Xuan was the one who killed the Lv couple and his apprentice!
Li Buyi’s eyes were also filled with murderously intent.
However, the two girls beside Gao Xuan exuded a profound and ethereal aura, perfectly embodying the deanor of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Both Li Buyi and Wang Haichan were puzzled; since when did Penglai Province possess two such young Nascent Soul True Monarchs?
Given this concern, Li Buyi and Wang Haichan, full of killing intent, dared not make any reckless comnts.
Gao Xuan glanced at the two, and said to Wang Haichan, "There’s no need to look. The Kunyuan Divine Spear belongs to my Five Elents Sect. It is simply returning to its rightful owner. If you have any discontent, express it."
Wang Haichan’s face turned dark, but he didn’t argue. With the artifact in Gao Xuan’s possession, arguing was futile.
Gao Xuan then turned to Li Buyi, "Li Buyi, your Xuanzhen Sect destroyed my Five Elents Sect. Today, I will also annihilate your Xuanzhen Sect."
Gao Xuan’s words, transmitted through divine sense, weren’t loud but reverberated in all directions.
The nurous cultivators observing from dozens of miles away could all hear him clearly.
Li Buyi was stunned, Wang Haichan was stunned. The cultivators of both the Xuanzhen and Celestial Secret Sects were stunned. All spectators were equally astounded.
Where did this audacious boy co from!?
The various cultivators naturally focused their gaze on Gao Xuan. For cultivators, a distance of dozens of miles was insignificant. Through the use of water mirrors and various spells, they could all see Gao Xuan.
Shen Ming on the giant ship also saw Gao Xuan in the massive water mirror ahead. Unable to believe it, he gulped and asked Jiang Lan in a low voice, "This seems like Gao Xuan?"
Jiang Lan stared blankly at Gao Xuan’s figure in the water mirror, montarily absent-minded, not hearing Shen Ming at her side at all.
