Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 182: Guests and Hosts Are All Seated
The sky is cloudless and the ancient sword is across the sky.
At this moment, if you look down from a higher void, the entire Yu Jian Sect seems to have turned into a mirror. The nine ancient swords are the frame, and the huge light curtain in the center is the lens. On top of the lens, there are human figures!
Gu Xiaoxing, along with Qiao Yanran and Xu Qianxing, flew up to the light curtain along with Elder Qiu and continued forward. They soon saw figures in front of them and were immediately surprised because there were familiar faces among them, even Master Bai was there!
But Gu Xiaoxing obviously would not recognize him. He had already put on a mask at this moment, and even Qiao Yanran had put on a veil again. Only Xu Qianxing, the young master of the Yu Jian Sect, did not cover his face. He was led by Qiao Yanran and followed behind Gu Xiaoxing silently.
In the center of the light curtain, one sect after another has surrounded it. Each force occupies one side. There are quite a lot of people, and almost half of them are cultivators in the Jindan realm. Among them are cultivators who have reached the great perfection of the Jindan realm, which is considered to be the top cultivators standing at the top of the small wasteland!
In addition, there are also many cultivators who are in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation stages. These people appear to be much younger, and are full of vigor and vitality. They are all the talented descendants of various sects and forces, and this time they are brought out by their elders to see the world.
At this moment, all the guests and hosts were seated in the center of the light curtain. As the organizer of the sword-practicing conference, the Yu Jian Sect naturally sat in the first seat. On both sides of the Yu Jian Sect were two groups of people representing the Yun Xiao Sect and the Lian Ti Sect.
Originally, they were all the three major sects in Xiaohuang, so there was no problem with this distribution. But what surprised everyone was that in the center of Yunxiao Sect and Lianti Sect, there was not only the host Yujian Sect, but also an empty area parallel to the Yujian Sect. There were three empty seats!
This made everyone curious, which force could suppress the other two sects and sit on par with the Yu Jian Sect!
Could it be that someone is coming from above?
After all, many people know about the last incident with Lei Yuntian from the Body Refining Sect. Didn’t a Taoist named Jishan come at that time?
Especially the Yunxiao Sect and the Lianti Sect, they were even more confused. Logically, if someone really came from above, the Yujian Sect should have informed them in advance, but until this moment, the Yujian Sect was still keeping it a secret.
On the other side of the Yunxiao Sect was the location of the Soul-Devouring Sect. Master Bai sat at the upper seat, his expression as indifferent as usual, with an immortal air.
Behind Master Bai were Lu Linger, Chen Ziling, and even Bai Xiangtian, but Li Wenru did not come this time.
In addition, there are two young men in the early stage of foundation building, and two young men who have completed the Qi Condensation stage. These are the geniuses that the Soul Devouring Sect has newly recruited in recent years, and they were also brought out to see the world by Master Bai.
Lu Linger still looked like a little girl, sitting there with her big eyes blinking and moving around. It was obvious that she was not a quiet person, especially when she occasionally looked in the direction of the Sword Controlling Sect, her eyes would reveal expectation. I don't know what she was thinking about, but she would lick her lips involuntarily.
As for Lu Linger's cultivation level, she had already completed the Jindan stage and had legitimately become a Jindan elder in the Soul Devouring Sect, but she did not look like an elder at all.
Chen Zili was still the same as before, with a dull expression. He was at the front, and his cultivation was still at the great perfection stage of foundation building, without any breakthrough.
Bai Xiangtian did have a breakthrough, from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building. He sat behind Master Bai like a good boy. However, he still felt a little uncomfortable in such a big scene.
Compared to Bai Xiangtian's nervousness, the several younger geniuses of the Soul Devouring Sect seemed much more relaxed. They were whispering to each other. Not only them, the entire area in the center of the light curtain seemed a bit noisy. Except for the three empty seats, the various sects and forces that had been invited to come had basically arrived.
Of course, the Lingkui Sect is an exception!
Although no one said it, many people were actually dissatisfied in their hearts. Why were so many people waiting for three people?
As the leader of the Sword Controlling Sect, Xu Shidong sat at the first seat among the organizers. He naturally noticed everyone's dissatisfaction, but he did not explain anything. He just waited silently, as if the sword-controlling conference would not open until everyone was present.
Suddenly, Xu Shidong raised his eyebrows, and the noise around him gradually weakened until the entire area in the center of the light curtain became completely quiet, and then four figures appeared in the distance.
Among these four people, two were recognized by many people present, namely Xu Qianxing and Elder Qiu. As for the other two, a man and a woman wearing masks and veils respectively, they made everyone confused.
The people who came were naturally Gu Xiaoxing and his group!
Gu Xiaoxing came to the central area under the guidance of Elder Qiu and came to the three empty seats. Then Elder Qiu said goodbye and left, returning to the area of the Yu Jian Sect.
Xu Shidong nodded to Gu Xiaoxing, who also nodded in response. He then looked around, sweeping his sight over everyone present. Especially when he passed by the Soul Devouring Sect, Gu Xiaoxing subconsciously paused for a moment, but it was only a brief moment before he simply passed by it.
Then, under countless gazes, some of which were curious, some were suspicious , some were dissatisfied, and some were angry, Gu Xiaoxing sat down at the first seat among the three empty seats...!
Qiao Yanran and Xu Qianxing also came forward and sat on both sides of Gu Xiaoxing.
The noisy scene quieted down with the arrival of Gu Xiaoxing and his companions, and became lively again when Gu Xiaoxing sat down.
Almost no one present could tell Gu Xiaoxing's identity. Not many people could recognize Qiao Yanran because she was wearing a veil. However, many people knew Xu Qianxing!
Shouldn't the young master of the Yu Jian Sect sit in the Yu Jian Sect's area?
What's the point of setting aside a separate area for her to sit in? Is she no longer a member of your Yu Jian Sect?
Moreover, Xu Qianxing's seat was not the chief seat, which made everyone even more curious about the origin of the man who sat in the chief seat with a mask and could allow the Yu Jian Sect to divide out an independent area, and even their own young sect leader had to lower his status to accompany him!
Of course, some people also guessed that Gu Xiaoxing was the Lin Xiaochi from three days ago. After all, although Gu Xiaoxing could cover up, Qiao Yanran was too dazzling. Even with a veil on her face, it was difficult to conceal her beautiful temperament.
Almost everyone who had seen him on the Seventh Ancient Sword that day recognized him, but at the same time they were also more curious about Gu Xiaoxing's background!
In everyone's perception, although Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation was a little strange and his specific realm could not be seen, he was definitely only at the Jindan level. He could be treated as such a distinguished guest by the Yu Jian Sect at the Jindan level. Everyone guessed that his identity must be extraordinary and it was very likely that he was from the Xuantian Realm!
Many eyes were focused on Gu Xiaoxing. He didn't feel uncomfortable as he was wearing a mask. He was not panicking and his hands were not shaking. But he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Among so many eyes, Gu Xiaoxing suddenly felt an extremely cold gaze. He looked carefully and found that it was coming from Yunxiao Sect!
