The so-called Jiuyi Hall was the City Lord's Mansion of this temporary city.
It was now directly governed by powerful figures from the Imperial Capital.
Tomorrow was the day the Great Gan Peak Competition would begin. By tradition, all the favored youths would gather on this day.
This was also the first meeting of all the favored youths before the competition began.
However, the First Generation Disciples and the newcomers from the three academies had been separated into inner and outer venues.
The newcomers could only enter the outer hall of Jiuyi Hall.
However, when Ye Xuan, the other two, and a group of Cloud Palace Academy cultivators arrived before the hall, they also saw the legendary Palace Lord of Cloud Palace.
He wore a long robe embroidered with clouds. His hair was half-white, and a wooden hairpin held it in place. Most peculiar of all was one loose, empty sleeve.
This man was actually one-armed.
However, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and discovered that this man's cultivation was extremely high. He had actually reached the late King Realm. Simply standing there caused the surrounding void to tremble, and when his eyes opened and closed, he radiated an unspoken majesty.
At this moment, the Cloud Palace Lord was speaking with Xuan Zhou and the First Favored Son, Jun Wuji.
When he saw Ye Xuan appear, his gaze shot toward him like a streak of lightning.
A Divine Sense swept silently over Ye Xuan, as if trying to see straight through him.
Ye Xuan merely gave a cold laugh inwardly. A mere King Realm cultivator thinks he can see through me?
"You're Ye Xuan, aren't you?"
The Cloud Palace Lord quickly withdrew his scrutinizing gaze. Though there was doubt in the depths of his eyes, he still asked with a smile.
