Yuelai Inn, Violet Firmament Sect's temporary residence.
Ye Xuan carefully carried Chu Wan'er into the room and placed her on the bed.
"Wan'er, how do you feel now?"
Su Ziyun rushed over, grasped Chu Wan'er's hand, and said with heartache, "It's all because Master is useless. I shouldn't have let you challenge Purgatory Difficulty in the first place!"
"Why would I blame Master? Besides, I'm not in any serious trouble now!" Chu Wan'er smiled and comforted her.
But Ye Xuan's expression was a bit solemn.
He had just carefully checked Chu Wan'er's injuries. The meridians and foundation that had been healed by the peach talisman had returned to their original state.
Without the nourishment of Emperor's blood, relying solely on the peach talisman was still too slow.
"Silly girl, you were throwing your life away!"
"You're just as unlucky as your master!"
Su Ziyun wiped away her tears and chatted with Chu Wan'er for a long time before frowning and saying, "By the way, that Purgatory Mode?"
"I reached the ninth floor, but Brother Ye Xuan cleared it," Chu Wan'er said with a smile.
"What!?"
Su Ziyun was shocked upon hearing this.
Ye Xuan had only entered the Hundred Refinements Tower for about an hour, and he had already cleared Purgatory Difficulty!?
This, this is so abnormal!
"Hehe, how interesting. The Azure Mist Sect thought Xiao Chengfeng had broken the record, but who would have thought that our Violet Firmament Sect would have the last laugh!" Su Ziyun sneered.
"This is just the beginning!"
"Tomorrow is when the real show begins!" Ye Xuan said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
He would return everything to dust.
"Alright, I'm really curious!"
"By the way, the Marquis Manor is hosting a banquet tonight. Wan'er, you rest. Ye Xuan and I will go to the banquet."
"Wouldn't want to disturb you lovebirds."
Su Ziyun patted Chu Wan'er's hand before leaving.
Inside the room, only Ye Xuan and Chu Wan'er remained.
Ye Xuan always held one of Chu Wan'er's hands, using his spiritual energy to soothe and nourish her damaged spiritual meridians.
"Brother Ye Xuan, that Purgatory Mode was set up by Ji Xueyao. Now that the Emperor Formation is broken, she must know you're here."
Chu Wan'er frowned and suddenly spoke.
"Hmm?"
"So what if she does? Are you worried about that?"
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"Not really..."
Chu Wan'er pursed her lips and said with a self-deprecating smile, "The Ji Clan is a flourishing Imperial Clan, something our Chu Clan can't compare to."
"Brother Ye Xuan's marriage has already been arranged. If she comes, let her marry you first."
She was inferior, but she knew her place.
In fact, as long as she could stay by Ye Xuan's side, she didn't care about titles or anything like that.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ye Xuan quickly pressed his finger against Wan'er's lips and said seriously, "No matter who it is, you are my Ye Xuan's first wife."
"There is only one Imperial Consort, and that is Wan'er."
Ji Xueyao set up this Purgatory Flame and Emperor Formation to wait for him, causing Wan'er to suffer. He still had to settle this score.
How could he let her be the first wife?
"But I..."
Chu Wan'er frowned. If she were to be the first wife, the other six Imperial Clans would definitely have grievances.
She didn't want to make things difficult for Ye Xuan.
"No buts. Focus on healing. I'll take care of everything!"
Ye Xuan pinched her nose and smiled.
"Then, okay, I'll listen to Brother Ye Xuan..."
Chu Wan'er was overjoyed, then pulled the blanket over her body, revealing only her eyes, and said softly, "After Brother Ye Xuan returns from the banquet, come sleep in Wan'er's room..."
"Okay..."
Ye Xuan touched his nose and nodded.
Now, his cultivation has reached the peak of the Spirit Sea, so there's no reason for him to refuse.
Besides, Wan'er needs that drop of Emperor's blood to heal her injuries.
After taking care of Wan'er until nightfall, Ye Xuan finally left the room and went to the Marquis Manor with Su Ziyun for the banquet.
When the two arrived at the Marquis Manor, most of the Sects had already arrived in the main hall.
Not only all the first-rate Sects, but also the city lords of the four regions.
In the Northern Region's seating area, Ye Xuan even saw Nangong Fei.
However, Nangong Fei was hanging her head, looking uninterested.
The Ancient Sword Manor's experience resulted in the death of a city lord's son and many Sect geniuses. After returning, she didn't escape the family's punishment.
However, Ye Xuan's identity has not yet been revealed, so he can't talk to her.
"Ziyun, you've arrived!"
The Lord of the Northern Region quickly got up, looking somewhat obsequious and restrained, which made Nangong Fei frown slightly.
Ye Xuan also raised his eyebrows, wondering if this Lord of the Northern Region had some kind of story with the Sect Master.
"Madam Cui didn't come along, how strange!" Su Ziyun sneered.
The Lord of the Northern Region's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he immediately sat down, not daring to look at Su Ziyun again.
At this time, Ye Xuan also looked at the hall. The four major Sect Masters and geniuses had almost all arrived, but only a Saintess with outstanding appearance and temperament was at the Lin Tian Sword Sect's disciple seat.
"Hahaha, everyone's here!?"
Just as Su Ziyun and Ye Xuan were about to take their seats, a burst of wild laughter suddenly erupted from outside the hall behind them.
The people in the hall stood up one after another, and Ye Xuan also turned around to look.
He saw Qi Chuan striding in, his blood and energy like a pump, his pressure like a mountain, like a fierce tiger.
However, Qi Chuan didn't come alone this time. He was holding Xiao Chengfeng's arm, and Liu Yunxi and the Azure Mist Sect Master were behind him.
How did this Azure Mist Sect climb up to Qi Chuan!?
Su Ziyun glanced at Ye Xuan, also surprised.
And as Xiao Chengfeng and the others passed by Ye Xuan, their gazes came over, and the contempt in their eyes was undisguised.
Liu Yunxi even had a smug look on her face.
Now that they have gained Marquis Qi's appreciation, the Violet Firmament Sect in the Northern Region can forget about turning over!
"Hahaha, everyone, don't stand, sit!"
Qi Chuan, who had arrived at the main seat in the hall, smiled as he came back to his senses.
But just as Su Ziyun and Ye Xuan were about to sit down on the outer side of the Northern Region City Lord, the Azure Mist Sect Master's voice suddenly rang out.
"Marquis Qi, I'm afraid someone in this hall is not qualified to sit!"
Her voice was sharp, resounding throughout the hall.
"Who!?"
Marquis Qi was also stunned.
"Him!"
"Violet Firmament Sect's Ye Xuan!"
The Azure Mist Sect Master pointed at Ye Xuan and sneered, "Now, among the younger generation in this hall, all are outstanding talents from the Barren Continent, but this person is just a Mortal Body with humble cultivation. How can he sit with us!?"
"This is an insult to the geniuses!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Ye Xuan at the door, all frowning.
What the Azure Mist Sect Master said seemed to make some sense.
Marquis Qi frowned, his gaze fixed on Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan only felt a powerful divine sense locking onto him, as if trying to see through him.
However, how could the Nine Lightning Tribulation Heavenly Body be seen through by him? Even with Nirvana Realm cultivation, it was impossible!
Therefore, Qi Chuan strangely retracted his gaze, feeling puzzled.
Because Ye Xuan didn't show any fear when facing his scrutiny. How could someone with such bearing be just a Mortal Body!?
He always felt that he couldn't see through this person.
"What Master said is right, he doesn't deserve to be here!" At this moment, Liu Yunxi also sneered.
Now, she didn't want to be in the same hall as Ye Xuan. If the gossip was heard by Marquis Qi, it would be difficult for her to explain.
"This..."
For a moment, Qi Chuan hesitated.
Xiao Chengfeng was someone that Tower Lord Ji had specifically asked him to take care of, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
"What kind of reasoning is this!?"
But before Ye Xuan could speak, Nangong Fei glared and said, "The Heavenly Pride Banquet is only for first-rate Sect Holy Sons and Saintesses. Who said anything about looking at talent and cultivation?!"
"Ye Xuan has the cultivation of a Holy Son. What's it to you?"
"Besides, if we're talking about being unworthy to sit, it's the Holy Sons and Saintesses from second-rate Sects who would be most embarrassed, right?"
For a moment, everyone in the hall was stunned.
"Fei'er, shut up!"
The City Lord Nangong glared at Nangong Fei.
"You, you!"
Liu Yunxi trembled with anger, but because of Nangong Fei's status, she didn't dare to say anything too harsh for the moment.
"Forget it, forget it, it's just a banquet. Take your seats, take your seats!"
Qi Chuan also had a headache and didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he repeatedly raised his hand to calm everyone down.
However, Xiao Chengfeng and the other two were seated below Qi Chuan, a position even higher than that of the Lin Tian Sword Sect.
The care and importance given to Xiao Chengfeng was too obvious.
"Huh!? Why hasn't Ji Fengliu arrived yet!?"
But after taking his seat, Qi Chuan looked towards the direction of the Lin Tian Sword Sect and suddenly frowned.
"Oh, Marquis, Fengliu is meeting an important guest, so he will be a little late. I hope Marquis will not be offended!" The Sect Master of the Lin Tian Sword Sect quickly stood up and cupped his hands.
"Guest, hehe..."
Qi Chuan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and then he sneered without asking further.
The banquet began, the wine and dishes were served, and Qi Chuan gave a polite opening speech, and everyone drank their fill.
"Marquis Qi, such a Heavenly Pride Banquet is a bit boring if we only drink!"
The smug Xiao Chengfeng put down his wine cup, his face flushed, and spoke.
"Oh!? Brother Chengfeng, what do you want to play?"
Qi Chuan raised an eyebrow.
"Hehe, since everyone is a Holy Son, why not let him and me have a match right here in this hall!"
Xiao Chengfeng stood up, pointing to Ye Xuan at the end of the hall.
He had endured for too long.
He couldn't wait until tomorrow.
Today, he would cripple Ye Xuan in public!
