Chapter 85: Lu Fei's Generosity
Chapter 85: Lu Fei's Generosity
"Not bad, Rogue Immortal Venerable! You've made it onto the Eastern Land Minor Heroic Champions List!" said the Ice Mountain Tyrantess, who had been silent in the group chat until now.
Rogue Immortal Venerable hurriedly replied, "How can I compare to Tyrantess Sister?"
It seemed that Rogue Immortal Venerable was somewhat intimidated by the Ice Mountain Tyrantess.
Great Sun Flame Emperor spoke up, "Rogue Immortal Venerable, with a little more effort, you can make it onto the Eastern Land Heroic Champions List!"
After lurking in the group for a while, Qi Yuan finally understood that the Eastern Land Heroic Champions List recorded the top one thousand prodigies under the age of sixty in the Eastern Land.
The Minor Heroic Champions List, on the other hand, was a secondary list for those who didn't make it onto the main list.
In any case, both lists were more impressive than the Great Shang Ten Paragons List.
Qi Yuan was filled with admiration and thought of the knowledgeable group members. He asked in the group, "Does anyone know about the Broken Wolf from Radiant Palace?"
Knowing oneself and the enemy, one will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.
"Broken Wolf? Never heard of him. Hey, newbie, our Divine Flower Three Emperors have transformed into Four Emperors!" replied the Ice Mountain Tyrantess.
Rogue Immortal Venerable anxiously said, "Origin Venerable, did you encounter Broken Wolf? He's on the Eastern Land Heroic Champions List, ranked within the top seven hundred."
"It's the real Heroic Champions List, not the Minor List that I'm on."
Anyone who makes it onto the Heroic Champions List has the strength to challenge those above their level.
"Since Radiant Palace and Divine Flower Society are enemies, you must be careful not to reveal your identity as a member of Divine Flower Society. Otherwise, Broken Wolf will definitely not let you off!"
Qi Yuan was both surprised and delighted upon hearing this.
He was surprised by the apparent strength of his opponent.
He was delighted because the White Moonlight must have many valuable items on her.
At this moment, Great Sun Flame Emperor expressed his concern, "Origin Venerable, if you don't have the strength of an Essence Pill, it's best to avoid Broken Wolf."
Great Sun Flame Emperor was aware of some of Radiant Palace's actions.
Broken Wolf seemed to have gone to a small place to handle some business, but he didn't know the exact location.
Now it seemed that Origin Venerable's Radiant Sword had been obtained by slaying someone from Radiant Palace.
Broken Wolf had gone to avenge that person.
"Thank you all for your concern, but why should I fear him?" Qi Yuan said.
"You're also a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator?" asked the Ice Mountain Tyrantess.
"Of course," Qi Yuan replied nonchalantly, "That day, I fought three thousand demons from the outer realms, captured the Heavenly Dao, and finally achieved Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!"
Hearing this, the Ice Mountain Tyrantess exclaimed, "Origin Venerable, you're so powerful! Another giant in the cultivation world is rising!"
Qi Yuan felt flattered by the group's praise and thought that the people in the group were the best.
No one else believed that he had achieved Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, except for the members of the group.
He had an idea and asked, "Does this Broken Wolf have any powerful techniques?"
Only a White Moonlight who possessed great wealth was a true White Moonlight.
Great Sun Flame Emperor said, "Broken Wolf's master is Wind Fury True Monarch, a late-stage Divine Infant powerhouse. Broken Wolf should have many valuable items on him. Origin Venerable, you must be careful."
At this moment, the Ice Mountain Tyrantess spoke up, "Wind Fury? I've met him, and he's not that impressive.
Once, he secretly overthrew a small kingdom to refine a treasure.
If it weren't for his somewhat formidable master, I would have scattered his ashes long ago."
Rogue Immortal Venerable: "Ice Mountain Tyrantess Sister is still the most powerful."
"Sister, hug!" Qi Yuan eagerly flattered her.
This Ice Mountain Tyrantess was undoubtedly a local big shot.
As the saying goes, a woman of three thousand years would be ranked among the immortals.
Qi Yuan also wanted to rise to the heavens.
After flattering the Ice Mountain Tyrantess in the group chat for a while, Qi Yuan exited the chat, feeling incredibly excited.
"I'm so eager that I want to find a secluded place and thoroughly..." he thought.
"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, the time has come. It's time to go out," Dong Xian's voice interrupted his thoughts.
Qi Yuan composed himself.
...
In the palace, a group of people stood with their hands behind their backs.
Qi Yuan stood near Dong Xian, scanning the crowd, seemingly searching for someone.
The hall was filling up with more and more people.
Over a dozen princes, all dressed in golden robes with giant snakes embroidered on them, stood at the front.
Behind them were Foundation Establishment cultivators with varying expressions.
The eldest prince, tall and bearded, stood at the forefront.
Two Foundation Establishment sword cultivators from Floating Mountain stood behind him, exuding a sharp aura.
Ordinary cultivators felt as if their eyes were being pierced by swords just by looking at the two Foundation Establishment sword cultivators.
At that moment, a voice entered Qi Yuan's ears.
"My senior sister has cultivated a Profound Level Spell. With a single hand, she can defeat Foundation Establishment cultivators from Floating Mountain and Divine Light Sect."
This was a sound transmission.
However, Qi Yuan's ears could sometimes pick up strange sounds from nearby.
Some were conversations between others, some were people's thoughts, and some were sound transmissions.
This time, Qi Yuan heard a voice.
He immediately focused his eyes.
Which lovely person had a Profound Level Spell?
Profound Level Spells were Qi Yuan's favorite.
His gaze swept across the crowd and finally settled on a charming female cultivator from Desire Door.
The female cultivator wore a bright red long skirt, with exaggerated curves and a thin waist that contrasted sharply with her ample chest. The fabric of the skirt was minimal, revealing her pale, snow-white skin.
Deep within the ravine, a perfectly round hemisphere, the female cultivator stood with a bold and unreserved demeanor, not even bothering to cover herself with her hands.
It was quite large, but in Qi Yuan's eyes, it still couldn't compare to his junior sister, Jiang Ling Su.
His junior sister wore loose clothing, but it was a clever disguise, concealing her true form.
Qi Yuan's eyes burned with intensity as he fixed his gaze upon the female cultivator.
White Moonlight!
He had found another White Moonlight.
He had to keep his eyes on her.
He discovered that if he focused on a specific person, got close enough, and had a clear target, he might just be able to hear their innermost thoughts.
What if this female cultivator from the Desire Door Sect was practicing her cultivation technique, and he could eavesdrop on her now?
The female cultivator from the Desire Door Sect, Lu Fei, seemed to notice Qi Yuan's intense gaze.
She turned around and looked at Qi Yuan, her eyes filled with allure, "Junior Brother Qi Yuan, if you keep staring at your sister like this, she might get shy. Why don't you come to your sister's room at night, and I'll let you look your fill."
As Lu Fei spoke, she intentionally pushed out her chest, exposing a generous amount of her body to Qi Yuan's gaze.
With her words, she drew the attention of everyone else in the room.
All eyes turned to Qi Yuan and Lu Fei, their faces filled with amusement.
Among them, a female swordswoman from Floating Mountain gave Qi Yuan a disdainful glance.
Qi Yuan paid no heed to these gazes; instead, a look of delight appeared on his face, "Really?"
This was exactly what he wanted.
Lu Fei was taken aback, her smile growing even brighter, "Your sister will be waiting for you."
She seemed a bit dazed, could it be that the chief disciple of Seven Color Peak had such a character?
But this was even better.
She loved using her physical advantages to toy with men.
Just then, a powerful voice rang out, "Is everyone here?"
Outside the grand hall, a man dressed in a white robe slowly entered.
On his back, he carried a long sword.
He stood there as if bathed in light.
Everyone present understood that this was due to his cultivation technique.
The newcomer was none other than Po Lang, with the Eighteenth Prince closely following behind him like a servant.
All the princes and cultivators turned their attention to Po Lang, their eyes filled with apprehension.
After all, Bright Palace was an outsider.
Everyone present felt a strong sense of resistance towards Bright Palace.
Qi Yuan's fiery gaze also fell upon Po Lang.
After all, he was the true White Moonlight.
Compared to him, Lu Fei was nothing.
Po Lang scanned the crowd, his gaze lingering on Qi Yuan and Kang Fulu before finally settling on Kang Fulu. After a few breaths, he withdrew his gaze.
Po Lang took his position without saying another word.
However, everyone in the hall felt an immense pressure.
Qi Yuan remained calm, alternating his gaze between Po Lang and Lu Fei.
He had to keep a close eye on these two White Moonlights; otherwise, if they ran away, he would have to chase them to the cremation grounds.
Qi Yuan's fiery gaze attracted the attention of many in the hall.
Po Lang, too, felt uncomfortable under Qi Yuan's stare. He glanced back at Qi Yuan, his eyes filled with a hint of killing intent, "I'll remember you, Qi Yuan of Divine Light Sect!"
The white-haired cultivator was none other than Kang Fulu, the first Foundation Establishment cultivator of Divine Light Sect.
The other one must be Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan naturally sensed the killing intent in Po Lang's eyes.
He felt a surge of anger.
"I only looked at you once, and you already have killing intent towards me! Bright Palace truly lives up to my junior sister's words, so domineering and full of hypocrites."
The female cultivator from the Desire Door Sect, his White Moonlight, not only allowed him to look at her but also invited him to her room at night.
The people from the Desire Door Sect were much more open-minded.
Hearing Po Lang's words, Kang Fulu stepped forward and stood in front of Qi Yuan, "Bright Palace is indeed domineering. Are you Po Lang?
I am the son-in-law of the Sect Master of Divine Light Sect, the Peak Master of Five Lights Peak, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and your senior brother, Kang Fulu. You should remember me!"
Kang Fulu exuded a powerful aura.
Po Lang narrowed his eyes, "Interesting."
After saying this, he fell silent.
As a figure on the Eastern Land Young Talents Ranking, why would he waste words with a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the countryside?
He could just enter the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Realm and slay him with a single sword.
Kang Fulu glanced at Qi Yuan, "Junior brother, with your senior brother here, Po Lang won't dare to be presumptuous!"
"Thank you, senior brother," Qi Yuan said, feeling reassured by his senior brother's support. He continued to stare at Po Lang and Lu Fei, his gaze jumping between the two of them.
Seeing this, Kang Fulu was speechless.
The female swordswoman from Floating Mountain occasionally glanced at Qi Yuan, her eyes filled with hesitation and a hint of disdain.
Everyone stood in the grand hall.
Just then, a sharp voice rang out.
"His Majesty has arrived."
Everyone who had been whispering looked up towards the source of the voice.
Supported by a beautiful woman in a palace skirt, the emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom slowly made his way forward.
As he walked, he coughed, his face pale and devoid of energy, looking as if he might collapse at any moment.
Qi Yuan glanced at the emperor.
This was an ordinary emperor, gravely injured and ailing. Under normal circumstances, he would only have one month left to live.
This was an elderly emperor, his body frail, and death not far off. He had none of the emperor's dignity.
"Your Majesty, we pay our respects to the Empress."
The people present bowed, maintaining a basic level of respect.
"Cough, cough..." The emperor of Great Shang looked at the crowd, and after standing for a while, he began to feel breathless. The empress supported him as he sat down on the dragon throne.
The empress of Great Shang sat by his side, her aura far surpassing that of the emperor. "In two days, the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Realm will open, and the Dragon Seizure Competition will begin.
Within the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Realm, there are numerous treasures.
The rules of this Dragon Seizure Competition are simple. Whoever obtains the most valuable treasure will become... the future emperor of Great Shang!"
The empress spoke sparingly, refraining from a lengthy speech.
With just a few words, the princes in the hall began to breathe rapidly.
Some princes clenched their fists, some looked grim, and others seemed indifferent, not holding much hope for this competition.
Even Dong Xian felt a surge of excitement.
He also wanted to become the emperor of Great Shang!
"Your Majesty's health is not well. Everyone, please disperse." The empress spoke quickly, and just as quickly, the emperor of Great Shang left without formally saying a word.
The crowd below had various thoughts. Qi Yuan stared at Lu Fei, wanting to hear his inner voice.
Lu Fei noticed Qi Yuan's gaze and smiled. "Little brother, come find me to play tonight. I'll leave my door ajar for you."
Lu Fei of the Desire Door Sect spoke with a flirtatious tone and followed the seventh prince to leave.
The crowd began to disperse, including the female swordswoman from Floating Mountain. She glanced at Lu Fei's back and then at her own flat chest, muttering angrily, "Shameless!"
...
As night fell, Qi Yuan wanted to leave and find Lu Fei, his white moonlight, to play.
However, he couldn't leave yet.
Senior Brother Kang Fulou had said that there would be guests visiting tonight.
Indeed, not long after, a young man and woman entered the hall, exuding a sharp sword aura.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Kang, and Junior Brother Qi."
The two visitors were none other than the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Floating Mountain.
The male cultivator was named Lei Wen, and the female was Miao Li.
As Miao Li entered the hall, she looked at Qi Yuan with a hint of warning in her eyes.
Senior Brother Kang Fulou warmly said, "Please sit."
Lei Wen and Miao Li sat down.
Lei Wen spoke, "For this Dragon Seizure Competition, our master said that the affairs of Great Shang should not be interfered with by outsiders.
This time, facing the Bright Palace, Floating Mountain and the Divine Flower Society should join forces.
First, we'll expel the Bright Palace, and then consider other options."
Lei Wen got straight to the point.
Senior Brother Kang Fulou nodded, "That's right. Before coming here, our master also instructed that Great Shang should not fall under the control of the Bright Palace."
If Great Shang were to fall under the Bright Palace's control, the three major sects would face difficult times.
"I've already secretly contacted some Foundation Establishment cultivators from other sects, and five of them are willing to cooperate with us.
There are a few sects that are closer to the Bright Palace, so it would be a problem if you two could contact them." Lei Wen went straight to the point, sharing his intentions with Senior Brother Kang Fulou and Qi Yuan.
In Great Shang, the three major sects were like the heavens themselves.
"Rest assured, it's a minor matter." Senior Brother Kang Fulou responded with a gentle smile.
"The Bright Palace's Po Lang is incredibly powerful. We'll need you, Senior Brother, and our two junior sisters to join forces to defeat him!" Lei Wen continued, not mentioning Qi Yuan's lack of combat prowess due to his recent Foundation Establishment.
"Mhm." Senior Brother Kang Fulou nodded, "We, as fellow cultivators of Great Shang, should unite against a common enemy."
The group reached a consensus.
The two Foundation Establishment cultivators from Floating Mountain prepared to leave.
Miao Li, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Lu Fei is skilled in the art of absorbing yang energy to nourish her yin, so some people should be careful not to be deceived by her beauty."
After Miao Li finished speaking, she and Lei Wen left.
Qi Yuan was puzzled by Miao Li's words, unsure of her intention. After a moment's thought, he said to Senior Brother Kang Fulou, "Senior Brother, I think Senior Sister Miao is warning you not to be entrapped by Lu Fei's allure."
Senior Brother Kang Fulou: "..."
...
As night fell, a half-moon hung in the sky. Qi Yuan left the hall, using his Stealth Technique to move stealthily within the palace.
The palace was brightly lit, with cultivators passing by from time to time.
Qi Yuan's stealth was so effective that no one noticed him.
"I think the Desire Door's residence is around here, right?" Qi Yuan hesitated, his intention tonight was to eavesdrop near Lu Fei's room, hoping to overhear something related to Mystic Level Techniques.
After all, Lu Fei had a kind heart beneath her voluptuous appearance, and she had invited him to her room. Qi Yuan, being shy, didn't dare to go, so he decided to eavesdrop instead.
