Exquisite Holy Land.
Yuchan Palace.
At this moment, the palace was full of geniuses and immortal music. In the middle of the hall, there were exquisite and gorgeous tables, chairs and screens, which were filled with various spiritual fruits, delicacies and fine wines.
Dozens of beautiful maids in bright clothes danced around the table with jade plates in their hands, serving the guests attentively and attentively.
Xiao Yueni, the Saint of Exquisite Holy Land, who was sitting on the main seat, personally filled the jade cup in front of her with spiritual wine, then raised the cup towards everyone, and said with a smile:
“Six Taoist friends have come from afar today, which really makes my Exquisite Holy Land shine. Yueni will toast you all a glass first.”
Then, she gave a slender hand and gently drank the wine in the cup. Her white and creamy cheeks flushed slightly in an instant, adding a bit of charm to her originally slightly cold temperament.
“Fellow Daoist Xiao, you are too polite. Our two families have always helped each other. Now that your sect is celebrating a great event, how can we not come here just because the distance is too far?”
“We are honored to be invited to attend the celebration and congratulate the birth of the fourth Mahayana master of Linglong Holy Land.”
“Yes, now all the fellow Daoists of the seven holy lands are gathered together. Such a grand event is rare in a thousand years. It should be made public!”
Those who are qualified to sit here are the leaders of the younger generation of the seven holy lands. Naturally, they know how to deal with such occasions and raise their glasses in return.
Even the somewhat absent-minded Qin Lingxue picked up the jade cup and took a sip, but her eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked at Qi Yao standing behind Xiao Yueni.
After a round of toasts, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became lively.
Park Keun Suk picked up the spiritual fruit at hand and took a bite, then said to Qi Yuan beside him:
“Look, the junior sister from the Liyuan Holy Land opposite is beautiful, but her personality is too cold.”
“She looks even more arrogant than Xiao Yuenni, that woman with eyes that reach the sky. Have all the beauties in the world of immortal cultivation become so cold now?”
Qi Yuan glanced at him with disdain, and replied bluntly:
“You still have the nerve to call her an iceberg? You’ve seen too many passionate prostitutes. You’re a woman… They will turn into icebergs after seeing you.”
Hearing this, Park Geun-suk was a little discouraged and argued, “Brother, I don’t like to hear you say this. What’s wrong with prostitutes?”
“Every prostitute has a past that she can’t bear to look back on. A gambling father, a seriously ill mother, a brother who studies, a heartless husband… In short, they all fell into prostitution when they had no other choice.”
“If I don’t help poor people like this, who will?”
After listening to this well-reasoned fallacy, Qi Yuan rolled his eyes in annoyance and was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
At this time, Ji Tianpeng, the Taoist of Ziyang Holy Land, slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Qi Yuan at the table calmly, and said in a deep voice:
“Since I took the position of Ziyang Taoist, I have always hoped to compete with the Taoist of Taixuan Holy Land. Unfortunately, the position of Taixuan Taoist has been vacant for a long time, and I can’t find anyone to compete with.”
“Now that you have taken the position of Taixuan Taoist, this thought naturally falls on you. Since we meet by chance today, why don’t we have a fight in Linglong Holy Land? What do you think?”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall stagnated instantly.
All the Tianjiao present knew the grievances between Taixuan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land.
Therefore, everyone was not surprised that Ji Tianpeng challenged the new Taixuan Taoist, and they had even expected it in advance.
The only thing worth paying attention to is whether Qi Yuan dares to accept it.
After all, Qi Yuan’s cultivation was only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, while Ji Tianpeng was an old-fashioned Taoist at the early stage of the Spiritualization. There was a huge difference between the two realms. Facing such a huge gap in the challenge, it would not be shameful to refuse.
As if he was afraid that Qi Yuan would refuse, Ji Tianpeng smiled faintly and continued:
“Of course, in order to avoid being accused of suppressing others with my cultivation, which is unfair, I will suppress my cultivation to the same level as you.”
While speaking, he looked at Xiao Yuenni who was sitting in the main seat, “Fellow Daoist Xiao, it is said that Linglong Holy Land has a special fighting venue, and there is also a special formation inside. As long as the formation is activated, the cultivation and magic power of both parties in the fight can be greatly reduced.Suppressed to the same degree.”
“At that time, the victory or defeat depends entirely on the magical skills and on-the-spot responses of both sides. Ji wants to borrow the venue. I wonder if Brother Xiao can agree?”
Xiao Yueni frowned slightly and explained:
“We do have such a venue here, but the formation inside is only used to assess the proficiency of the disciples’ skills on special occasions. It is rarely opened on weekdays, so there is no guarantee that it will not operate smoothly.”
Then, she looked at Qi Yuan with a worried expression, and said in a persuasive tone, “Everyone is the best of the younger generation. Why should we hurt the harmony because of some old things between the sects? Why not…”
Before she finished speaking, she saw Qin Lingxue standing up from her seat and said coldly:
“I will fight for him in this battle. Ji Tianpeng, do you dare to accept the challenge? ”
Ji Tianpeng’s face suddenly darkened, and he said to Qi Yuan expressionlessly:
“Taoxuan Daozi, are you just going to hide behind these two women and not come out?”
Qi Yuan drank the wine in the glass calmly, and said in a relaxed tone:
“On this beautiful day with beautiful women as your company, it would be so nice to just come here and have a drink and have fun, but you have to mess around with all this fighting and killing, which ruins the mood and disturbs everyone’s interest.”
“I just don’t like to see people like you, who look so aggressive when challenging, and then groan and whine when you lose, which makes people feel sick. ”
What?!
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was in an uproar. Obviously, they did not expect Qi Yuan to be so tough.
This can no longer be regarded as a harsh remark before the war, it is simply a naked provocation and contempt.
If before it was just a matter of deciding who is better and stopping at that point, once these words were spoken, it meant that the feud had become bigger. Although no one would die, the loser would at least fall to the ground.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes changed when they looked at Qi Yuan.
Has he always been so brave?
Ji Tianpeng was even more furious, and said with a cold face:
“Stop talking nonsense, whether it’s a win or a loss, let’s see it with our hands. ”
After speaking, he stepped out of the hall and stood on the white jade square outside the Yuchan Palace.
Facing the strange looks from all around, Qi Yuan stood up calmly and said to Xiao Yuenni beside him:
“Fairy Xiao, take us to the fighting venue you mentioned now. Also, don’t remove the dishes on the table, I’m not full yet.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuenni immediately came back to her senses from her astonishment, and then smiled, “Okay, follow me.”
After the two left, the rest of the people looked at each other, and then followed without hesitation.
