Chen Xuanhai's eye twitched violently.
If Shen Qianyue hadn't been there, he would have loved to kill Chu Yunfei with a single blow right now.
However, Qin Hao's injuries were too severe.
If this continues, even if the severed arm is reattached, the right arm may completely lose sensation.
"Let's go!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Chen Xuanhai, carrying Qin Hao, transformed into a streak of azure light and rushed out of the Jingyuan Hall.
Lin Yue's body was also carried away by two other Cangyun Sect disciples.
In a short while, the entire Cangyun Sect group departed.
The atmosphere in the main hall did not ease as a result.
The elders of the Puppet Sect also quickly came to Yue Chenzhou's side.
After examining the injuries, his expression grew increasingly grim.
Yue Chenzhou's protective spiritual artifact on his chest shattered, and his internal organs were impacted by the Sword Qi. Without high-grade elixirs, he would need to recuperate for at least several months.
The Seven Sects Grand Competition a month from now will likely be affected.
Chu Yunfei.
The Puppet Sect elder raised his eyes.
"We will meet again someday."
" The Puppet Sect will remember this debt."
Chu Yunfei gently brushed the dust off his sleeves.
"Are all the people in your sect good at keeping accounts?"
"If you want revenge, now is the time to act."
The Puppet Sect elder glanced at Shen Qianyue, then looked at Ling Chengyuan, who was sitting high in the main seat.
Ling Chengyuan sat motionless, clearly not intending to allow a Divine Sea Realm elder to personally assassinate Chu Yunfei within the palace.
He could only suppress his murderous intent, pick up Yue Chenzhou, and quickly leave Jingyuan Hall.
The two major sects withdrew from the scene one after another.
There was no need for the banquet to continue.
Wu Changge, however, did not rush to leave.
He approached Chu Yunfei, his expression much more solemn than before.
"I deserved to concede defeat in that battle."
"Even I wouldn't dare say I could escape unscathed if Qin Hao and Yue Chenzhou joined forces."
"Yet you were able to injure and cripple both of them."
Wu Changge stared directly at Chu Yunfei.
"Brother Chu."
"You are qualified to Great Qian Princess."
Ling Xueyao's ears burned again upon hearing these words.
Chu Yunfei raised an eyebrow.
"Did the Holy Son Wu think I wasn't qualified?"
Wu Changge nodded calmly.
"Good."
You're not as strong and imposing as me.
"Besides, he doesn't seem like someone who can fight."
Chu Yunfei's eye twitched.
Wu Changge seemed oblivious and continued speaking.
"If a man can't even protect his own woman, what right does he have to marry the most noble princess of the Eastern Continent?"
"But now, you have it."
Wu Mingyue walked over and glared at her brother with annoyance.
"When does the princess need your approval to choose her husband?"
Wu Changge frowned.
I'm just telling the truth.
You'd better say less.
Wu Mingyue shook her head helplessly, then turned to look at Chu Yunfei, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration and curiosity.
"Young Master Chu, my brother speaks frankly, please don't take it to heart."
"However, you have now completely offended both the Cangyun Sect and the Puppet Sect."
"It's best to be careful before the Seven Sects Grand Competition."
Chu Yunfei nodded.
"Thanks for reminding me."
Wu Changge added in a deep voice, "Although you are very strong now, don't think you can sweep away the younger generation of the seven sects."
Chu Yunfei looked at him.
"Are there even stronger people?"
"Have."
For the first time Wu Changge's fighting spirit turned serious.
"The Holy Son of the Heavenly Evil Devil Sect."
"He entered the Divine Sea Realm a year ago."
Divine Sea Realm!
The expressions of the few people who had not yet left the hall all changed slightly.
The Heavenly Origin Realm and the Divine Sea Realm seem to be separated by only one level.
In reality, it is a true insurmountable barrier.
When the dantian and spiritual pool transform into a sea, both the quantity and quality of spiritual energy undergo a dramatic change.
That person rarely makes a public appearance.
Wu Changge continued, "All I know is that half a year ago, an elder from the Heavenly Evil Devil Sect at the Divine Sea Realm Third Level sparred with him and ultimately lost."
If you encounter him, do not be careless.
There was no fear in Chu Yunfei's eyes.
Instead, it piqued my interest even more.
" The Divine Sea Realm?"
"That's something to look forward to."
Wu Changge glanced at him, then grinned.
You really are just like me.
"When faced with a stronger opponent, my first reaction isn't to retreat, but to want to fight."
Their eyes met.
The previous hostility has largely dissipated, replaced by the purest form of recognition among martial artists.
Wu Changge cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"See you again at the Seven Sects Grand Competition."
"At that time, I will show you my full strength."
Chu Yunfei responded by clasping his hands in a fist salute.
"I'll be waiting."
After Wu Changge and Wu Mingyue left, the banquet came to a complete end.
Ling Chenglie got up and left.
As he passed by Chu Yunfei, he paused slightly, his face darkening, but he refrained from further provocation.
Lin Yue's corpse, Yue Chenzhou's serious injuries, and Qin Hao's severed arm were still vivid in his mind.
He didn't want to provoke Chu Yunfei any further at this time.
After leaving Jingyuan Hall, Sun Meng followed.
Your Highness.
"Just now, when that elder from the Puppet Sect left, he secretly sent me a telepathic message."
Ling Chenglie stopped in his tracks.
What did he say?
"He wishes to meet with His Highness privately."
Ling Chenglie frowned.
The Puppet Sect's Holy Son had just been severely injured by Chu Yunfei, and the sect elders wanted to see him immediately; it was definitely not just a simple visit.
Sun Meng lowered his voice.
"The other party said there was a matter concerning the future of the royal family that they wanted to discuss with His Highness."
A glint of light flashed in Ling Chenglie's eyes.
"Time and place?"
"Tonight at midnight, at Drunken Immortal Abode the west of the city."
Ling Chenglie silent for a moment.
"Tell him that I will go."
Jingyuan Hall.
Everyone has already left.
Ling Chengyuan sat alone in the main seat, his wine glass never being put down.
Before the banquet began, he thought everything was under his control.
They used the three holy sons to suppress Chu Yunfei.
To diminish Ling Xueyao's reputation.
Regardless of who wins or loses, he can reap the benefits.
But the final result completely exceeded his expectations.
Chu Yunfei was not suppressed at all; on the contrary, he stepped on the three sects' prodigies and became famous in one fell swoop!
Zhao Yuangeng stood below the main hall, his expression equally solemn.
Your Highness.
"This child is more dangerous than we imagined."
Ling Chengyuan slowly swirled his wine glass.
"So what if he defeated a few sect disciples?"
"He is ultimately only at the Heavenly Origin Realm."
"Without the Emperor's personal appointment, he cannot be considered a true prince consort, and has no right to interfere in royal affairs."
Zhao Yuangeng looked up at him.
"Does Your Highness truly believe this?"
Ling Chengyuan paused for a moment as he swirled his wine glass.
Zhao Yuangeng continued, "The strength Chu Yunfei displayed today is enough to overwhelm the vast majority of the Seven Sects' prodigies."
"The princess and Shen Qianyue were also behind him."
"There are still secrets in the palace, and that elder is quite friendly towards him."
"If this child completely sides with the princess, he may become the biggest variable on His Highness's path to the throne."
Ling Chengyuan's gaze gradually darkened.
This is exactly what he was most worried about.
Although Ling Xueyao was assertive in the past, she had no intention of vying for the throne.
But now the secret of Ling Zhantian's poisoning is gradually being exposed.
If her father really dies, who can guarantee that Ling Xueyao won't be forced to participate in the struggle for the throne in order to protect herself?
And then there's Chu Yunfei, whom we can't quite fathom.
Things are starting to get out of control.
Zhao Yuangeng noticed Ling Chengyuan's unease and said at the opportune moment, "Your Highness need not worry too much."
" Chu Yunfei has offended far more people than he can rely on."
Ling Chengyuan raised his eyes.
"Go on."
" The Cangyun Sect and the Puppet Sect will never let this go."
" The Heavenly Sword Sect wants him dead even more."
Zhao Yuangeng paused.
"Once the Heavenly Sword Sect members arrive in the imperial city, the situation will naturally change."
The gloom on Ling Chengyuan's face gradually dissipated.
good.
The stronger Chu Yunfei becomes, the greater the threat he poses to the Seven Sects.
Such a person doesn't need him to take action personally.
"Then let's wait a little longer."
Ling Chengyuan finished his drink, his eyes regaining their calm.
"I'd like to see how long he can live."
