119: Attending a banquet

Hearing this, Li Feng also had a solemn expression as he looked at Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall and Bai Ling on the city wall.

The two walked onto the city wall together and came to Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall's side.

Although Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall was entangled with Bai Ling, he didn't miss the situation outside. When he saw Lu Xingchen continuously beheading two Yao Kings, he was also extremely shocked.

At the same time, Li Hua also walked over.

The top combat forces of Tianhuo City gathered together.

Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall said in a deep voice, "Bai Ling, the outcome has been decided. There's no point in you continuing to entangle with me. Quickly take the Yao Beasts from the Heavenly Battle Forest and leave."

Bai Ling said in a low voice, "Amazing, truly amazing. As expected of a Disciple of the Cangxuan Sect! What are your names, you two?"

"Cangxuan Sect Outer Sect Disciple, Lu Xingchen!"

"Cangxuan Sect Outer Sect Disciple, Li Hua!"

Bai Ling nodded slightly.

"Indeed, you are outstanding individuals. I don't feel wronged losing to you. Dispel the Spirit Formation, and I will lead the Yao Beasts away!"

Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall breathed a sigh of relief and deactivated the Spirit Binding Array.

However, he also kept a contingency in mind; if Bai Ling went back on her word, the Spirit Binding Array could be activated at any time.

Bai Ling gave Lu Xingchen a deep look, flew into the air, transformed into a giant silver-white Dragon, and let out an ear-splitting roar.

The Yao Beasts, who were frantically attacking Tianhuo City, received the command and retreated like a tide.

Immediately after, Bai Ling also flew into the distance.

Cheers immediately erupted on the city wall.

They won! They finally won!

This time, they were able to successfully defend Tianhuo City, thanks to the five Disciples of the Cangxuan Sect.

And the leader of those Disciples seemed to be named Lu Xingchen.

For a time, countless guards of Tianhuo City remembered Lu Xingchen's name.

After being entertained by Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall, the five of them, including Lu Xingchen, returned to the Cangxuan Sect with their mission report.

Lu Xingchen immediately went to the Heaven Burning Tower to feel the changes in his strength.

In the Heaven Burning Tower, he fought from the fifth floor to the tenth floor, basically without encountering any obstacles.

However, when facing the One-star Martial King Realm guard on the eleventh floor, Lu Xingchen, without using the Heaven Swallowing Art, felt a slight strain.

Lu Xingchen challenged him more than ten times, and relying on his Mortal Realm Great Perfection Soul Power, he discerned the guard's combat habits. It took him a full day to barely succeed in the challenge.

Through this battle, he gained a new understanding of the shadow sword and the Shadow Sword Art, and his strength advanced another step.

As for the spirit value reward he received, it seemed less important.

After all, Lu Xingchen was an Alchemist; he wasn't short on such small amounts of money.

After defeating the guard on the eleventh floor, he did not continue upwards.

Because the Realm gap was too large, the chances of winning were not high.

After resting in his room for a day, Lu Xingchen found Li Gui to deliver the Medicinal Pills.

In the Ghost Gate headquarters, Lu Xingchen said with a smile, "Senior Brother Li Gui, are there any new missions?"

Li Gui nodded heavily, "Of course there are! I have an easy mission here that's pure spirit value. How about it, interested?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Tell me about it first."

Li Gui said softly, "It's the 18th birthday of Yun Yun, the Eldest Princess of the Liyun Kingdom, which is approaching. The Cangxuan Sect and the Liyun Kingdom have a long-standing good relationship, so we must go to show our support!"

"So the Sect decided to send Saintess Yun Li with two Inner Sect Disciples and one Outer Sect Disciple to attend the banquet. To show the importance placed on the Eldest Princess, the Disciples attending the banquet must be ranked in the top ten of the Earth Ranking or Heaven Ranking."

"I'm not sure who the Inner Sect Disciples are. But for the Outer Sect, it's you, me, and Li Hua. We just need to sit and eat to earn spirit value, and we can also get to know the Eldest Princess of the Liyun Kingdom. This is a beneficial and harmless good thing."

"It's just that the top three of the Earth Ranking are always elusive, and other experts are either Cultivating in the Spirit Gathering Pagoda or out on missions. That's why this good opportunity fell to us."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's heart stirred slightly.

He hadn't seen Yun Li for a long time, and he missed her a little.

This was a good opportunity to chat.

As for the Eldest Princess of the Liyun Kingdom, he wasn't very interested.

Lu Xingchen said softly, "Since that's the case, I'll go have some fun!"

Li Gui chuckled, "Alright! Then let's go to the Mission Hall now. I'm afraid if we wait too long, someone else will snatch this mission."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Okay, let's go together!"

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the Mission Hall, accepted the mission to "Participate in the Eldest Princess's Birthday Banquet," and met up with Li Hua.

The three waited in a room for an hour, then Yun Li, accompanied by Hua Li and a handsome man, walked into the room.

Li Hua and Li Gui immediately stood up, bowed to Yun Li, and said in unison, "Greetings, Saintess!"

Lu Xingchen raised his eyebrows slightly.

This Yun Li had quite a presence; she even made Outer Sect Disciples bow to her.

But he didn't dwell on it too much, and also bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings, Saintess!"

Seeing Lu Xingchen, a flicker of surprise flashed in Yun Li's eyes, then she waved her hand and said indifferently, "Dispense with the formalities."

"Since everyone is here, let's depart!"

With that, she turned and walked towards the Mountain Gate.

The other five followed behind her.

Lu Xingchen felt a slight sense of frustration.

Although his Realm had already risen to Six-Star Martial Spirit, a truly rapid improvement, he still couldn't discern Yun Li's cultivation.

Above her head was clearly "???".

Damn it, this girl is too strong!

But thankfully, he could already see Hua Li's cultivation, which was clearly Six-Star Martial King.

Li Gui had mentioned before that only top ten experts on the Heaven Ranking could participate in this mission.

This Hua Li was actually a top ten expert on the Heaven Ranking!

And she was even willingly Yun Li's follower!

From this, one could see even more how impressive Yun Li was.

The six arrived at the Mountain Gate.

Yun Li whistled, and a small greenish-blue bird flew towards them.

Though called a small bird, when it landed in front of them, it was as large as a house.

Lu Xingchen looked at the bird's head, and it was clearly fifth tier five-star.

My goodness, Yun Li's casual mount possessed the cultivation of the chief Yao King of the Heavenly Battle Forest!

Yun Li said softly, "This trip to the banquet is to strengthen the relationship between our two forces, and also to assert the prestige of my Cangxuan Sect, so it must be done with style."

"This Wind Spirit Bird is my mount, a Fifth-rank Demonic Beast. We will ride it to the banquet! At that time, the Wind Spirit Bird will land directly at the city gate of the Liyun Kingdom's imperial city, which should be quite impressive."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly.

Yun Li's arrangements were reasonable, and her explanation was direct, without any concealment.

The six stepped onto the Wind Spirit Bird's back, and the Wind Spirit Bird spread its wings, soaring into the sky.

On the bird's back, the six were divided into three echelons.

Yun Li stood alone at the very front, with Hua Li and the handsome man in the middle.

Finally, there were the three Outer Sect Disciples.

Lu Xingchen was discussing Alchemy with Li Hua when Yun Li suddenly said softly, "Lu Xingchen, come here, I have something to tell you."

Instantly, the other four all looked at Lu Xingchen with strange gazes.
