The Weather Was Nice

The woman in Ziyi's gaze instantly hardened, and she nodded earnestly.

Bi Shan, somewhat flustered, bowed to Yue Qianchou and said, "Sir, could you tell us more about the East Sea Battle you just mentioned?" The people from the Four Great Families all looked at Yue Qianchou with anticipation. The legendary battle between Spirit Transformation stage cultivators was indeed something to admire, especially since the main protagonist was their own relative, making their anticipation even stronger.

"Tell you in detail?" Yue Qianchou was taken aback, thinking to himself, "I only heard it casually from that handsome old man Nong Zhu, how could I possibly explain it in detail?" His expression turned solemn, and he sighed, "It's beyond my comprehension, beyond description! Shao's realm is truly Non-Self reach, so let's not talk about it!"

Ziyi rarely spoke in front of outsiders, but at this moment, she clenched her fists and said in a strong and excited voice, "Elder Bi, Ziyi, will admire him for life!"

These words were even more persuasive than those of Yue Qianchou, exciting the members of the Four Great Families to no end, especially the people of Bijialing, who blushed and were unable to express their emotions for a long time.

"Hey! Ziyi, let's go back!" Yue Qianchou turned around and sighed repeatedly, as if he had really seen that great battle. Ziyi followed him, leaving the group of people from the Four Great Families there to daydream! They imagined how slender the old man in the portrait in the Lineage ancestral hall must have been in reality, a truly outstanding and charismatic figure, worthy of being the number one expert in the world.

"If I cannot see my Old Ancestor in this lifetime, I, Bi Zicong, will regret it for the rest of my life."

"After standing silently for a long time, Bi Zicong suddenly gritted his teeth and spoke out."

Bi let out a long sigh and said, "Seeing the Old Ancestor is no easy task. Didn't you hear what your father said? The Old Ancestor is the Punishment Envoy of the Demon Ghost Domain, residing in the very center of the Demon Ghost Domain. Even if you have the cultivation of the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Realm, you cannot penetrate deep into the Demon Ghost Domain, let alone reach the place where the Old Ancestor resides. If you really want to go, the only way is probably through Yue Qianchou. If Yue Qianchou is willing to introduce you, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

Bi Zicong suddenly turned around and said, "Third Uncle, if Licheng and I could receive personal guidance from the Old Ancestor, and once we achieved success in our cultivation, gaining even a hundred or two of the Old Ancestor's abilities, who in the Huaxia Cultivation World would dare to make things difficult for our Four Great Families? I just don't understand why the Old Ancestor would abandon his own descendants and instead take an outsider as his personal disciple. Is there not a single one of us descendants who could meet his standards?"

This sudden statement startled the members of the Four Great Families. Tan Fei, Wu Licheng, and Jing Zuo all breathed heavily. The benefits of receiving guidance from the Old Ancestor of the Number One Expert Under Heaven were self-evident. The four heirs, recalling the extraordinary figure in purple Ziyi accompanying Yue Qianchou, all wore somewhat bewildered expressions.

"How dare you!" Bi Shan suddenly shouted, "Bi Zicong, have you lost your mind! How can ordinary people fathom the thoughts of our Old Ancestor! There must be a deeper meaning behind what our Old Ancestor did, and how dare you presume to comment on it!"

"Third Uncle, haven't you figured it out yet?" Bi Zicong pointed in the direction the two had just walked out, and said angrily, "Whose hidden power is behind him? How could he have comprehended such profound and wondrous Divergent Method on his own? Who gave him those two treasured swords? Without a doubt, all of this was bestowed upon him by the Old Ancestor. Otherwise, how could a third-rate disciple like him surpass our cultivation in such a short time and dare to run rampant in the Cultivation World so recklessly? Isn't it all because he has the Old Ancestor backing him up? I can't understand why the Old Ancestor would do this?"

Jealousy always makes people lose their minds! Back then, Yue Qianchou was just a junior disciple, and he could still befriend him with utmost respect. Now, Yue Qianchou is superior to him in every way, even in seniority. He could keep all of this to himself. But when he saw Ziyi obeying Yue Qianchou's every word, an unnamed fire ignited the resentment in his heart.

Although Wu Licheng and the other two had similar thoughts to some extent, they had never felt them so strongly. They were stunned by Bi Zicong's words, never expecting him to say such a thing. Tan Huazong, Jing Shengping, and Wu Anfeng exchanged bewildered glances. Bi Shan, trembling with rage, pointed his finger and roared, "Beast, kneel down!"

Bi Zicong gritted his teeth and knelt before Bi Shan, his face still showing extreme resentment. Bi Shan said with heartache, "Without our Old Ancestor, there would be no existence for our Four Great Families. Blinded by jealousy, you'll never amount to anything! How dare you speak ill of our Old Ancestor? With such a narrow mind, do you even deserve to take over the Bi family in the future? You rebellious beast, slap yourself!"

"Slap slap slap..." Without saying a word, Bi Zicong started slapping himself in the face, one slap after another...

He kept twitching.

Wu Licheng and the other two were at a loss for what to do. Tan Huazong and the other two quickly advised, "Brother Bi, a few words of discipline are enough. It's understandable that a young man might say something rash when he's not thinking things through. There's no need to go too far."

Bi Zicong, who was slapping himself, suddenly stopped, touched his face, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and kowtowed to Bi Shan, saying, "Third Uncle, I know I was wrong; I was indeed blinded by jealousy just now and said some rash words. Please forgive me, Third Uncle."

His sudden change of heart left the group bewildered...

Zhao Bugui and the Cultivation Alliance chose a location not too far from Hundred Flower Valley, deep in the mountains, or more precisely, in a large valley surrounded by mountains. Choosing this location showed some thought; it allowed for a crowd to gather and watch, while the spacious valley in the center was perfect for the fight.

There were probably several thousand people on the surrounding hilltops, and that was only because each sect kept their own people in check; otherwise, there would likely have been many more just to watch the spectacle. Zhao Bugui's side, including himself, still had about fifty people, almost all of whom, judging from their clothing, were foreign cultivators. These few dozen men stood on the hilltop facing the large number of cultivators, showing no fear whatsoever, almost displaying disdain for the Chinese cultivators. Both sides had already sent representatives to the middle to discuss the start of the meeting.

Ever since Zhao Bugui discovered Yue Qianchou among the crowd on the opposite mountain, his gaze had barely moved, his hatred unwavering. If it weren't for this Fu family's meddling, his family wouldn't be in such an awkward situation, unable to be together as husband and wife, forced to collude with Waihan for self-preservation, and even his sect would become his enemy. Now, he had reached a point where it was all or nothing, with no way out.

Yue Qianchou was naturally aware of Yan Bugui, who was the center of attention. Seeing Yan Bugui staring at him, he felt a pang of unease, wanting to test his gaze against Yan Bugui's, but being constantly stared at like that was uncomfortable. Looking around, he located the Myriad Demon Palace and, finding it not far away, slowly approached Chou Wuyuan and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Qiu!"

"Uh... Juan, nice to meet you." Chou Wuyuan looked him up and down. When did this kid become so proactive? It seemed like he was always the one who approached him first. So, full of questions, he asked, "Brother Yue, is there something you need?" The people from the Myriad Demon Palace also looked over.

"Haha! It's nothing, it's nothing!" Yue Qianchou looked around with a smile and said, "Today..."

"The weather is so nice!"

To be honest, the group from the Myriad Demon Palace wasn't in a good mood. The son of the former sect leader had caused such a mess, and no one was happy about it. The thought of possibly having to fight him made them even more depressed. At this moment, Yue Qianchou ran over and started talking about the weather. The group looked at the sky and thought it was normal, without noticing anything special. They also wondered if there was some hidden meaning in his words, leaving them all completely confused.

"Are you really alright?" Chou Wuyuan asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Yue Qianchou reassured him, then chatted idly beside Chou Wuyuan, seemingly enjoying the conversation. He occasionally chimed in with one person from the Myriad Demon Palace and another, creating a harmonious atmosphere. The Myriad Demon Palace members barely kept quiet, having no interest in engaging in idle chatter. However, this scene, witnessed by Duan Bugui on the opposite mountain, truly disgusted him, almost making him grind his teeth to dust.

What's this kid up to? Chou Wuyuan, and the more Yue Qianchou said nothing was wrong, the more suspicious he became.

He and Yue Qianchou had known each other for a long time, back when Yue Qianchou hadn't joined Fu Xian Island yet. The moment they met, Yue Qianchou started showering him with flattery, Chou Wuyuan immediately judged that he wasn't a good person. Later events confirmed his suspicions. Now, with this sudden change of heart, Chou Wuyuan, deeply suspicious, began to carefully observe his surroundings.

When his gaze met the hateful eyes on the opposite mountaintop, he immediately paused, then understood everything. This guy was clearly trying to Yan Bugui's popularity with the Myriad Demon Palace; his heart was malicious. Chou Wuyuan looked at Yue Qianchou, who was still boasting to the Myriad Demon Palace members, and his expression immediately changed. He said in a deep voice, "Yue Qianchou, you've reached your limit. Go back to your place!"

"Huh! Senior Qiu, what do you mean by that?" Yue Qianchou asked, feigning ignorance.

"Please leave!" Chou Wuyuan raised his hand and said rudely. The Myriad Demon Palace, the dignified leader of the demonic path, had been completely taken advantage of by this guy, like they were blind. How could they possibly explain themselves so clearly?

Yue Qianchou's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly, "It seems I'm not welcome in the Myriad Demon Palace. I originally intended to shamelessly ask to join after this competition, so I came to connect with you Myriad Demon Palace. It seems I was just being presumptuous. Hmph! Elder Qiu, please convey my thanks to Palace Master Bu for his invitation. It's not that I'm ungrateful, but the Myriad Demon Palace has high standards, which I, Yue Qianchou, cannot meet. Farewell!" With that, he turned and left.

The group from the Myriad Demon Palace looked at Chou Wuyuan with surprise. Someone like Yue Qianchou, possessing profound Method Formula and spiritual treasures, was someone the Myriad Demon Palace would be eager to recruit. Why did you drive him away? One of the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending Elders, who had rushed over overnight, asked in a deep voice, "Chou Wuyuan, what exactly happened?"

"I..." Chou Wuyuan thought to himself, "Could it be that I'm overthinking things, that I've misunderstood? If this guy really wants to join the Myriad Demon Palace, then I..."
