Dark Ink Mountain.
Countless times, Shui Yunjun has stepped into the Pill Maple Academy.
Her elegant white fur coat swept across the ground, instantly making it as smooth as a mirror, leaving the students cleaning with a look of deep emotion.
The chieftain of the Literary Clan!
That's amazing!
He even mopped the floor himself! To lighten their load!
A broader perspective!
Shui Yunjun arrived at the dean's residence on the back mountain. Xie Feng was sitting in the courtyard with a table, a chair, a cup of tea, and a book, engrossed in reading.
Seeing her arrive, Xie Feng put down his book, stood up, and said, "You've come!"
"Reading at dawn, amidst the chirping of insects and birds, the vibrant colors of maple leaves and the aroma of fine tea—what a refined pleasure! What book are you reading?"
Shui Yunjun smiled.
Xie Feng said, " The Literary Dao Sacred Canon!"
Shui Yunjun's expression changed slightly, and she raised her eyebrows. "This is a legendary Cultivation Method, long lost to history. You actually possess it... It seems I'm still not knowledgeable enough!"
Xie Feng laughed and said, "It was a gift from a very important person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had it."
Shui Yunjun said, "The important person you speak of... is unimaginable!"
A surge of emotion welled up within her. No wonder Xie Feng had achieved so much; the books he read early in the morning were the Literary Dao Sacred Canon. If he wasn't amazing, who was?
" Shui Yunjun, what is it that requires your personal attention? Couldn't you have just had your subordinates tell you?" Xie Feng changed the subject.
"Do you know Hai Kuoyun, the new patriarch of the Spirit Clan?" Shui Yunjun's phoenix eyes were indifferent, and his tone was cold.
"I've heard of him even though I haven't seen him. This is the guy who spread rumors that I eat people and prevented others from entering Pill Maple Academy! What kind of trouble has he caused this time?"
Xie Feng sat down casually, and frowned.
" Hai Kuoyun, together with You Chenfeng, the new patriarch of the Ghost Clan, and Kui Xin, the patriarch of the Pill Clan, have joined forces to convene a conference of the ten clans. In addition to the leaders of the ten clans, major sects with super strength can also participate!"
"The purpose of the conference, they say, is to foster relationships. Ha, is that really true?"
"Furthermore, it's one thing for the Ghost Clan and the Spirit Clan to collude, but why is the Pill Clan getting involved?"
Shui Yunjun's brows furrowed slightly; her expression was cold, and she vaguely sensed something was amiss.
Xie Feng took a sip of tea and sneered, "There was a news report before that the Pill Clan's Pill Master, Yang Lin, went to the Blaze Clan but was killed by Yan Ming. After that, the Blaze Clan quickly distanced itself from the Ghost and Spirit Clans. This shows that Yan Ming has a brain; he understands the consequences of going against us. I suppose this Kui Xin chose to join the Ghost and Spirit Clans out of anger!"
"Your analysis makes perfect sense. I'm here to tell you..." Shui Yunjun said, "I also received an invitation! Are you going?"
Xie Feng put down his teacup, stretched, and said calmly, "Not going, it's illogical that the Ten Clans lack Literary Clan; going, this is clearly a trap!"
What is the Feast at Hongmen?
"It was... a banquet with malicious intent!"
"I understand!"
Shui Yunjun nodded his chin.
Xie Feng asked, "When and where is the conference?"
Shui Yunjun said, "Tomorrow! The Ghost Clan, Delusion City!"
" Delusion City... the name is down-to-earth, but not to the underworld. This name from the netherworld truly fits the Ghost Clan race's persona!"
Xie Feng pursed his lips.
Shui Yunjun smiled meaningfully, "Perhaps, after this conference, this name will disappear from the mortal realm."
Xie Feng glanced at her indifferently, seemingly lost in thought.
It seems she had a plan in mind all along!
"So fast?" Xie Feng asked.
"Strike first, strike hard!"
Is there anything I can do for you?
"If they lay a hand on you, I will make what I said a reality!"
Shui Yunjun smiled slightly, but his eyes were as cold as an icy pool, devoid of any warmth!
Her bottom line used to be only the Literary Clan, but now, Xie Feng is included too!
She wouldn't allow anyone to harm the disciple of Marquis of Mo Yang!
To the west of the Dao Realm, amidst the endless northern deserts and the mournful sound of the wind, stands a stone city. Far from human habitation, it is surrounded by over a million miles of yellow sand. This is Delusion City.
At this moment, the streets were bustling with traffic and people, and under the arrival of towering auras, the yellow sand in the sky all lay prostrate on the ground.
Such a place is perfect for doing things secretly, things that can't be publicized...
Inside the vast Earth Palace, there was an incredibly large, seemingly endless jade round table, with numerous seats densely packed around it.
Many people have already taken their seats.
They were people who came to attend the conference, and they were all top-tier figures from prominent forces in the Dao Realm.
Apart from the organizers, none of the members of the ten clans have arrived yet!
The seating arrangement at a round table is very particular.
Facing the main entrance are ten main seats, flanked by secondary seats, and then by even more secondary seats, all the way down to the seats facing away from the main entrance, forming a closed circle that appears to be equal but still maintains a hierarchy.
Three men were sitting in the main seat.
Clad in black robes and crowned with a golden crown, his eyes deep and unfathomable, You Chenfeng, the newly appointed patriarch of the Ghost Clan!
With a gaunt face and sharp eyes, Hai Kuoyun the new patriarch of the Spirit Clan!
Clad in golden robes, with a beaming smile, Kui Xin, the chieftain of the Pill Clan!
The three of them warmly greeted everyone, and as time went by, people from the ten clans gradually appeared!
" Snow Clan Chief, Xue Yan has arrived!"
" Moon Clan Chief, Qing Wu has arrived!"
" Blaze Clan Chief Yan Ming has arrived!"
The appearance of these clan leaders, their noble figures astonishing this Delusion City amidst the swirling yellow sands.
Upon seeing Yan Ming, the Pill Clan Chief Kui Xin's eyes immediately darkened.
His prodigy, Pill Master Yang Lin, died at Yan Ming's hands!
The Pill Clan and Blaze Clan have fought several times because of this!
They had agreed to an alliance, but the Blaze Clan reneged on it halfway through and even killed his successor!
Who can tolerate this?!
Yan Ming chose a seat on the side and felt a cold, piercing gaze from beside him. He looked up and saw it was Kui Xin, so he met his gaze without any politeness.
Kui Xin was furious.
This guy killed Yang Lin, why does he act like he's not even blushing or skipping a beat?
He jumped to his feet, clenching his fists, ready to confront them, but was stopped by Hai Kuoyun beside him. "This guy has already sided with Xie Feng and the others. Think about our plan; it's not worth getting angry now!"
After thinking for a moment, Kui Xin had no choice but to sit down angrily.
Yan Ming looked over without flinching, his smile masking a chilling coldness in his eyes!
He said, "I know what you're up to. Listen to me: don't provoke Xie Feng! Don't provoke Xie Feng! Don't provoke Xie Feng! I'll say it three times!"
Kui Xin scoffed, "None of your business!!"
Yan Ming shrugged. "Considering we're both from one of the ten great races and have known each other for many years, I'm just offering a friendly reminder. Sigh, I'm afraid I'm the only one among the ten races who's this kind!"
Kui Xin sneered, "Don't provoke Xie Feng? Heh, it seems to me you're afraid of Shui Yunjun! Just because she's the Literary Clan Chief, you're scared? Coward! Someone as cowardly and indecisive as you is destined to be despised no matter which side you stand on!"
