343: Chapter 343 Revealing the Method

Just then, a streak of sword light appeared before the banquet hall.

Immediately following, the sword light dissipated, transforming into a stunningly beautiful young girl wearing a white long dress.

The young girl stepped into the banquet hall and bowed to City Lord Shen Chonglou and Ruan Yu: "Father, Mother, your child has returned late; I ask for your forgiveness!"

"It is good that you have returned; quickly take your seat!"

City Lord Shen Chonglou said with a kind expression; he truly valued this daughter very much.

"Indeed, Shen Xiangjun, hurry and take your seat!" Ruan Yu also said with a smile.

"Thank you, Father, Mother!" Shen Xiangjun said with a giggle, then went to sit in the seat next to Ruan Yu.

As soon as she sat down, her gaze went straight to Chen Hu.

Meeting her gaze, Chen Hu smiled slightly at her.

Shen Xiangjun immediately returned a brilliant smile, but then shyly looked away.

Judging by Chen Hu's demeanor and expression, this Immortal Master Chen was indeed not very old.

However, she was somewhat curious as to why a Soul Transformation Immortal Master with such a promising future would accept the conferment of the Great Song Dynasty.

At this moment, City Lord Shen Chonglou stood up with a wine glass in hand and began to make small talk.

But after only a few sentences, he changed the subject and began to praise Chen Hu.

Then, he said loudly: "Come, let us all toast to Duke Chen together!"

Everyone hurriedly stood up, even the Old Ancestors of The Four Great Transformation-Divinity Families were no exception; before figuring out Chen Hu's background, they did not want to offend a Soul Transformation Immortal Master casually.

After the first toast ended, Chen Hu also stood up with a freshly filled wine glass and faced the crowd with a gentle smile: "I am new here and should be living in Xuanwu City for some time to come. I ask for your support, everyone present. This glass of wine, I toast to you all!"

Seeing this, the crowd stood up again.

Everyone was saying polite words.

Some even stated their names and professions, hoping that Chen Hu would remember them.

After all, as long as one reached the Spirit Severing Realm, they were a big shot in the world of cultivation.

Being able to get to know a Soul Transformation big shot was a matter that brought great Face.

Subsequently, Chen Hu toasted City Lord Shen Chonglou individually, thanking him for holding the welcome banquet for him.

After he finished toasting, the Old Ancestors of The Four Great Transformation-Divinity Families also stood up to toast Chen Hu.

The toasts were completed.

The song and dance programs arranged by City Lord Shen Chonglou also began to take the stage.

The atmosphere of the banquet gradually became lively.

In the blink of an eye, over an hour passed.

A youth from the Jiang Family at the Nascent Soul Realm Level 9 suddenly stood up, cupped his hands toward Chen Hu, and said: "Immortal Master Chen, this Junior is Jiang Daoshan of the Jiang Family. May I ask for your guidance on my cultivation, Senior?"

Under the circumstances where Chen Hu had not revealed his cultivation, the Old Ancestors of The Four Great Transformation-Divinity Families could not determine his cultivation level.

Therefore, the Jiang Family Patriarch ordered Jiang Daoshan to come forward and ask for guidance; as long as Chen Hu made a move, they would be able to determine Chen Hu's true cultivation level.

Hearing this, Chen Hu smiled and looked at the other party: "How do you want me to guide you?"

Jiang Daoshan said: "If Senior could condescend to offer some guidance, that would be even better!"

Seeing this scene, everyone present became interested.

Even City Lord Shen Chonglou was no exception; he wanted to understand Chen Hu's true cultivation level.

Because the feeling Chen Hu gave him was simply too dangerous.

"Very well!" Chen Hu nodded.

"Then let us move to the dueling platform!" City Lord Shen Chonglou said.

"Brother Shen, there is no need; right here will do!" Chen Hu stopped him with a smile.

"Would it be too cramped here? And with so many people, what if innocent people get hurt?" City Lord Shen Chonglou said with some hesitation.

Chen Hu smiled indifferently: "It is no problem, Brother Shen. If this place is damaged, or if any innocent people are hurt, I will consider myself the loser!"

"It seems Brother Chen is quite confident in your cultivation. Since that is the case, let us exchange moves here!" City Lord Shen Chonglou said loudly.

"Immortal Master Chen, excuse my offense!"

Jiang Daoshan cupped his hands toward Chen Hu. Subsequently, with a thought, several Flying Swords flew out from his body and hovered in front of him.

"Seven top-grade Spiritual Artifacts; as expected of the Jiang Family, truly wealthy!"

Seeing the seven top-grade Flying Swords hovering in front of Jiang Daoshan, many people showed expressions of envy.

Generally speaking, those in the Qi Refining Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm use Magical Artifacts, while those in the Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm use Spiritual Artifacts.

But that is for relatively wealthy Sect Disciples.

In the world of Loose Cultivators, most Loose Cultivators in the Golden Core Realm use top-grade Magical Artifacts.

After all, Loose Cultivators are more willing to spend their wealth on cultivation resources.

Therefore, for Jiang Daoshan to summon seven top-grade Flying Swords at once was indeed quite a wealthy display.

"Go!"

Seeing Jiang Daoshan perform a sword incantation, all seven top-grade Flying Swords flew out at high speed, heading straight for where Chen Hu was.

The moment they approached Chen Hu, the seven Flying Swords suddenly condensed into a sword formation.

"Break!"

Chen Hu shouted softly and raised his hand to point a finger.

He struck a certain point of the sword formation, and the sword formation collapsed directly. The seven top-grade Flying Swords also lost their luster, falling from mid-air, and were caught by Chen Hu.

Seeing this scene.

Jiang Daoshan's Face immediately turned bright red; this was his strongest means.

Yet it had been broken by Chen Hu in a casual manner.

"Returning them to you!"

Chen Hu threw the seven top-grade Flying Swords toward Jiang Daoshan.

After he caught the Flying Swords, he immediately took them into his body and then bowed down: "Thank you, Immortal Master, for the guidance; this Junior has embarrassed himself!"

"It is nothing!" Chen Hu said indifferently.

Meanwhile, the Old Ancestors of The Four Great Transformation-Divinity Families quietly communicated via Divine Sense.

Dong Family Patriarch: "Everyone, have you seen anything?"

Jiang Family Patriarch: "Very strong. Although I cannot determine his specific cultivation level, he is at least in the Soul Transformation Late Stage!"

Ye Family Patriarch: "An absolute Prodigy-level existence; he should not have been invited by City Lord Shen Chonglou!"

Zhong Family Patriarch: "We should go all out to win him over; we cannot let City Lord Shen Chonglou win him over!"

While the four Soul Transformation Old Ancestors were secretly whispering.

City Lord Shen Chonglou looked at Ruan Yu proudly and transmitted his voice: "Wife, how is it? Is my Brother Chen very impressive?"

Compared to the other four Old Ancestors, his perception of the magic power displayed by Chen Hu was clearer.

Both being at the Spirit Severing Stage Level 9, the gap between his magic power and Chen Hu's was simply too great. If Chen Hu's magic power was steel, his magic power was a pile of loose sand.

Therefore, his feeling was correct.

Chen Hu only needed to make a slight move to slap him to death.

Ruan Yu rolled her eyes at City Lord Shen Chonglou and did not speak.

The subsequent banquet was very harmonious.

After more than an hour, the banquet ended.

Chen Hu bid farewell and left.

City Lord Shen Chonglou's Family of three saw him off to the outside of the mansion.

As the guests left, news about Chen Hu spread rapidly through the Inner Nine Districts.

Before long, the Inner Nine Districts knew that this newly conferred Duke was a top-tier powerhouse whose cultivation had reached the Soul Transformation Late Stage, and who was also very young, with the potential to strive for the Dao Integration Realm.

City Lord's Mansion.

Outside Shen Xiangjun's boudoir.

Ruan Yu pushed the door open and entered.

Shen Xiangjun hurriedly stepped forward, took her arm, and walked with her to the bedside to sit down.

"Xiangjun, what is your impression of that Chen Hu?"

After sitting down, Ruan Yu asked quite directly.

"What do you mean 'what is it like'? We only met for the first time; we haven't even spoken a word to each other!" Shen Xiangjun said quite shyly. She was indeed a True Disciple of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect, but she was only an ordinary True Disciple.

The probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm was still quite high.

But wanting to achieve the Soul Transformation Realm, that was hard to say.

After all, 99% of the Cultivators in this world stopped outside the Soul Transformation Realm.
