Wang Yan was startled. As long as he entered the secret chamber to cultivate, Wang Xian 'er would be guarding outside.
No matter what, she wouldn't let anyone get close. There had never been a situation like this.
Could it be that something big happened?
Thinking of this, Wang Yan collected his thoughts. "I'm going out to take a look."
"Hey, kid, don't go. You haven't shown Master Long the Heavenly Sword's precious godly sword yet!"
"We'll talk about it later."
Finishing his words, Wang Yan put away the storage ring and pushed open the heavy stone door.
"You brat, you're finally out!"
"Brother!"
Before Wang Yan could see his surroundings clearly, two voices with different emotions rang in his ears.
A fragrant wind blew against his face. Wang Xian 'er was standing obediently next to Wang Yan.
"Come with me!"
In a flash, Zhou Ao appeared in front of Wang Yan and reached out to grab him.
Seeing this, Wang Yan frowned. He took a step forward with his right foot and disappeared, dodging Zhou Ao's hand.
"Eighth Elder, don't be hasty. Tell me what's the matter first, and then I'll go with you."
"What's the matter?
Isn't it all because of you? Star sect is here to demand an explanation! "
Instantly, Wang Yan was startled. Then, a cruel smile appeared on his handsome face.
Just as he expected, Star sect would not let him go so easily.
"If that's the case, I'd like to see what Star sect can do to me."
Finishing his words, Wang Yan gave Wang Xian 'er a reassuring look and followed Zhou Ao to the inner hall of Sun Sect's middle peak.
…
When Wang Yan arrived at the inner hall, he found that the seven grand elders of Sun Sect were all there.
Sitting opposite the seven Grand Elders were seven men of different heights, fat and thin.
"These are the seven great elders of the Star sect. Our sect originally had one more than them, but because of Sun Wuwei's death, we're on par with them."
Zhou Ao's Divine Soul sound transmission resounded in his mind. Wang Yan remained silent as he followed him into the Assembly Hall.
Among the seven Star sect elders, Wang Yan noticed a few familiar faces.
They were First Elder Xiu Yao, Second Elder Shi You, and Third Elder Yu Chenghai.
As Wang Yan walked in, everyone who was resting with their eyes closed immediately opened their eyes and looked at him.
In an instant, the entire Conference Hall became heavier than ten thousand kilograms.
The gazes were filled with great power, and it was as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing down on him. This caused Wang Yan's face to instantly turn pale, and his body even began to tremble slightly!
A single gaze was already so frightening, but there were seven gazes filled with enmity here.
They arrived together, as if the heavens were pressing down on him. They swore to crush Wang Yan's body and destroy his soul!
"Fellow Daoists, enough is enough."
Ji Tianran, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly waved his sleeve. Seven teacups flew out of thin air, heading straight for the seven great elders of Star sect.
Inside the teacups, hot water was boiling, and the fragrance of tea filled the air. However, the speed was peerless.
Like seven streams of light, they shot out like lightning as soon as they appeared. The boiling hot tea was calm and still, as if it had been frozen.
"Brother Ji, good move!"
Xiu Yao praised coldly. He stretched out his hand, and the seven teacups floated in the air, motionless.
Revealing an ugly smile, Ji Tianran brought the teacup to his mouth and blew on it. "Insignificant tricks, not worth mentioning."
"Fellow Daoists of Star sect, you should drink your tea while it's hot. If it gets cold, the taste will change."
As soon as he said this, the seven great elders of Star sect all had different expressions.
However, under Xiu Yao's gaze, they drank the tea in their cups in one gulp.
"Brother Ji, you've already drunk your tea. Isn't it time to talk business?"
As long as you don't harm the lives of my sect's disciples, I won't stop you. "
In an instant, Xiu Yao's old face became extremely unsightly. However, in the blink of an eye, he returned to normal.
Throwing his head back and laughing, Xiu Yao stood up. "I already expected Brother Ji to say this. Fortunately, I came prepared."
"Second Elder, let your last disciple exchange a few blows with a famous disciple of Sun Sect. How about it?"
With a cold laugh, Shi You immediately said, "That couldn't be better."
"Yanran, why aren't you going to experience the skills of a senior from Sun Sect?"
Under everyone's gazes, a beautiful figure walked out from behind Shi You.
She wore a white silk dress, and a light pink belt was tied around her waist. It was like a finishing touch, indescribably beautiful.
Her waterfall-like black hair hung down to her waist, swaying as she walked. It was indescribably graceful and dreamy.
She had a slender waist that could be grasped with one hand and an astonishing curvaceous body. Coupled with a delicate and pretty face, she could be called a stunning beauty.
However, when he saw this person's face clearly, Wang Yan's pupils involuntarily contracted.
This person was Li Yanran, whom he had met once in Feng Tian City!
However, Li Yanran's aura was much thicker than when she was in Feng Tian City.
Although it couldn't be compared to the elders present, it was unusually fierce.
She was like a sharp unsheathed sword, destroying everything wherever she went.
"I've long heard of Senior Brother Wang's great name. Yanran is untalented, but I hope Senior Brother Wang will not be stingy with your teachings."
A few strands of her beautiful hair fell from both sides of her cheeks, fluttering with the rhythm of the air.
Her delicate face was as cold as ice, emitting a cold aura that kept strangers away.
After a moment of shock, Wang Yan returned to his senses and nodded imperceptibly as a greeting.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Xiu Yao suddenly spoke, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Ji Tianran looked up. "Brother Xiu, what can I do for you?"
Xiu Yao glanced at Wang Yan and said with a fake smile, "Before the competition, I would like to ask Brother Ji a question."
"There's no harm in speaking frankly."
Xiu Yao smiled coldly and turned to look at Wang Yan. "This disciple of your sect once killed a hundred of my sect's people in the ancient mystic realm."
"Let's not talk about his methods first. Just this has already hurt the harmony between our two sects."
"However, entering the ancient mystic realm is a competition between our three sects. It doesn't matter even if a hundred people die."
With that, a murderous intent flashed in Xiu Yao's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"I once heard this disciple of your sect say that it is only right that he is killed because his skills are inferior."
"Therefore, I would like to ask Brother Ji, if this disciple of your sect is accidentally killed in the following competition, is it only right?"
With that said, the expressions of the seven elders of the Sun Sect instantly became strange.
Zhou Ao inwardly chuckled, thinking that Xiu Yao's words were complete nonsense.
Even he didn't know what Wang Yan's true strength was, yet he had been defeated again and again.
Although on the surface Wang Yan appeared to be an ordinary peak 9th level Star Forging martial cultivator, if anyone viewed Wang Yan as ordinary, they would absolutely suffer a bloody loss!
Ji Tianran's eyes swept over Wang Yan. "That's right. Does Brother Xiu have any other questions?
There's no harm in saying them all at once. "
"No, thank you Brother Ji."
Xiu Yao no longer concealed himself. His old face revealed a sinister smile, as if his plan had succeeded.
Shi You's eyes shined as he stared at Wang Yan. He suddenly shouted, "Begin!"
