Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 651 - 628 Attending the Banquet (2/3)

At the same time, in the faraway Juexian City.

Taiyi Sect, this is a major force within Juexian City. Although usually very low-key, no one dares to underestimate this sect with a heritage stretching back a million years. Every power that has been around since the reconstruction of the Immortal Realm has an unpredictable depth of resources.

In a field where lotus flowers bloom profusely, each plant exudes a refreshing fragrance. Immortal herbs abound here, including Holy Medicine that even the Creation King would covet. Fitting for a sect with a million-year heritage, just this medicine field alone, if known, would incite a frenzy.

Even without consuming these Holy Medicines, simply cultivating here would bring immense benefits, and the fragrance alone could greatly enhance one’s comprehension.

At the deepest part of the garden, a nine-leaf lotus flourished, towering three zhang high with a blossom as big as a well cover. Atop it sat a white-clad young girl with beauty second to none compared to Ying Mengfan and the Moon Shadow Saintess, with a slim waist and striking curves!

She held a lotus flower in her hand, her eyes closed, with strands of Divine Radiance circulating around her. She seemed like a Heavenly Girl descending, exuding overwhelming Spiritual Energy.

"Saintess Lord, the second young lady has run away again!" a young woman in red hurriedly flew over, her face filled with anxiety as she spoke to the white-clad young girl on the blossom.

The white-clad young girl remained calm, with her eyes still closed, saying, "Don’t worry about her, she must have slipped off to play somewhere in the city again!"

"Saintess Lord, I’m afraid this time the second young lady has gone off to seek the Imperial Dragon Hall!" The woman in red took out a letter, "The young lady left a note saying she wants to seize the Dragon Transformation Nine Slashes back and make it the sect’s Peerless Technique! She also said... she also said..."

"Also said what?" the white-clad young girl inquired calmly.

"Also said, she wants to find a perfect husband for the Saintess Lord so that the Saintess Lord won’t always have to look after her!" The woman in red finished, casting a fearful glance at the white-clad young girl.

"Nonsense!" The white-clad young girl finally opened her eyes, which were as pure as water. She lightly furrowed her brows and sighed, "This girl!"

"Saintess Lord, shall we send someone to bring the second young lady back?" the woman in red asked.

The white-clad young girl thought for a moment before responding, "No, I’ll go myself!"

"Saintess Lord, Gongyang Taisun has been hounding you persistently. If he learns that you are going out, he will surely come after you!" the woman in red warned.

This time, a touch of distress appeared on the jade-like face of the white-clad young girl, who seemed troubled by that Gongyang Taisun. She sighed, "That girl really knows how to cause trouble!"

She rose to her feet, her tall and flawless figure commanding. Gazing skyward, she said, "Go tell the sect leader that I’ll return as soon as I find Xiulan!"

With a flash, she disappeared without a trace.

...

Zhou Heng and Lian Jingxiang took advantage of the Flowing Cloud Shuttle to arrive on the Hu Family’s starship for the banquet that Hu Mei had invited them to. Today the starship had its defenses withdrawn, which otherwise would have prevented the Flowing Cloud Shuttle from directly landing on the deck.

"Welcome aboard!" On the deck stood two rows of beautiful maidservants, four on each side, who called out in unison, quite impressively.

Lian Jingxiang stowed away the Flowing Cloud Shuttle while a young man emerged from the cabin to greet them with a smile, "Please show your invitations."

This was a Sunshine King, radiating a formidable presence.

Zhou Heng handed over the invitations; the young man examined them and laughed, "It turns out to be Brother Zhou, and this is—" He glanced at Lian Jingxiang, his face showing a hint of ambiguity, naturally assuming she was Zhou Heng’s lover or similar.

"My name is Lian Jingxiang!" she said calmly, seemingly oblivious to the peculiar expression on his face.

"I am Feng Yugang, just a minor figure under the young lady," the young man said, turning and gesturing for them to proceed.

"After you," Zhou Heng replied as well, his demeanor exceedingly polite.

Respect was mutual, after all.

Following Feng Yugang into the cabin, Zhou Heng scanned the room. The space was enormous, not much smaller than the Beast Fighting Arena, and many people were already there, mingling with wine glasses and fruit plates, engaging in conversation—the atmosphere was lively.

"Brother Zhou, please feel free to enjoy yourself!" Feng Yugang said, before leaving them to attend to others.

Zhou Heng smiled at him and then moved to the side with Lian Jingxiang. Tables were set up around and in the center of the room, laden with drinks and Spirit Fruits, all for the taking. freeweɓnøvel.com

They poured themselves some wine and stood by a table to observe.

All those who came here were young people, mostly Sunshine Kings and Moonlight Emperors, with only a few Moonlight Sovereigns. These individuals likely hadn’t received invitations but were, like Lian Jingxiang, brought along by someone who had.

Zhou Heng was indifferent to such lively events, focusing instead on indulging in the food. The Spirit Fruits here were all exquisite and unattainable even with money in Xihai City. While others were distracted, he even quietly packed some away, having promised to bring a treat back for Black Donkey, and he did not want to face that scornful beast’s complaints.

Lian Jingxiang, watching from aside, blushed slightly at the sight, realizing how embarrassing it would be if they were discovered.

"You must be Zhou Heng, right?" A voice suddenly interrupted.

Lian Jingxiang almost jumped from fright—fear of what might come had become a reality, and they were caught red-handed, even having their names exposed!

Zhou Heng set his wine cup down and looked toward the speaker.

It was a young man with long purple hair, his body enshrouded in a purple aura, exuding an attention-commanding presence.

Yet another Sunshine King, and quite an extraordinary one at that.

"I am Zhou Heng. Who might you be?" Zhou Heng inquired.

"You don’t need to worry about who I am! My master wants to see you, so come with me!" The purple-haired youth turned and began to walk away, as if he was certain that Zhou Heng would not dare to defy him.

In terms of power hierarchy, a Sunshine King absolutely dominates over a Moonlight Emperor, and he naturally had such confidence.

However, his expectations were far too optimistic, as he discovered a few steps later that not only had Zhou Heng not followed, but he had also started to eat and drink extravagantly again!

This...

The purple-haired youth was immediately enraged, seeing this as a blatant disregard of his authority.

Who was he? Was he someone to be ignored?

"Are you deaf?" The purple-haired youth stared at Zhou Heng with an icy gaze, unleashing wave after wave of terrifying pressure. Even though Lian Jingxiang was not the target, she still felt it difficult to breathe and as if her entire body was being pricked by needles.

Zhou Heng stopped his eating and drinking, glanced over at him, and said, "What is your dog barking about? You have no manners at all!"

What, what!

"Such a vile mouth, are you looking for death?" Despite his anger, the purple-haired youth did not show it on his face. He was a favored youth, believing in his invincibility, assuming he could obliterate anyone he disliked with ease. Was there a need to take this to heart?

The place was large, but it had many people, and the standoff between the two immediately caught the attention of those nearby.

"Eh, isn’t that Luo Wuji?"

"He’s a follower of One Sword Breaks the Heavens Wu Qi, and he himself is a Two-Wheel Sunshine King!"

"What Two-Wheel Sunshine King, you’re out of date! He’s already advanced to a Three-Wheel Sunshine King!"

"Who’s the person talking to him, how come he only has the cultivation level of a Moonlight Emperor?"

"Whoever he is, he’s definitely in for it now! Luo Wuji recently killed a Seven-Wheel Sunshine King, his strength is horrifically powerful, with only the likes of Du Hansheng, Hu Mei, and Wu Qi, these young Supremes, being able to suppress him!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion. Between a Sunshine King and a Moonlight Emperor, the domination is absolute, everyone knew that—even the most foolish, let alone Luo Wuji who was a Sunshine King with heaven-defying battle power.

"Stand aside, wait until I’m done eating, then I’ll come and slaughter you!" Zhou Heng said indifferently.

Ah spit, such big talk from this guy!

The crowd was taken aback, which Moonlight Emperor would dare to speak to a Sunshine King like this?

This was not like talking to a Sunshine King at all, but rather treating Luo Wuji like mere chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep, planning not just a fight but a slaughtering.

People had seen arrogance, but never had they witnessed someone so baselessly arrogant.

Luo Wuji burst into laughter, but there was no hint of mirth on his face, as he said, "Do you think I wouldn’t dare to strike you here?"

"If you want to be beaten, then make your move!" Zhou Heng said nonchalantly and began to pick up Spirit Fruit to eat again.

You damn reincarnated hungry ghost, still eating at a time like this?

The crowd thought to themselves, this kid was utterly unreliable!

"You’re asking for it!" Luo Wuji huffed coldly. Since Wu Qi had ordered to bring the man over, he would definitely ensure Zhou Heng was taken there. If he couldn’t handle such a simple matter, what right did he have to follow Wu Qi?

Without another word, he reached out with one hand towards Zhou Heng. As a Sunshine King, his aura was overwhelming and powerful.

Zhou Heng’s eyes flashed with fighting spirit, eager for a battle with a Sunshine King to test his own strength. His right fist hardened and he met the descending hand head-on.

Bang!

A heavy clash rang out, and Zhou Heng’s form trembled, involuntarily stepping back once, twice, thrice—thump, thump, thump, it took him seventeen steps before he could stabilize, but he had neutralized Luo Wuji’s grasp.

What!

A Moonlight Emperor actually managed to neutralize the attack of a Sunshine King? Although Luo Wuji had been casual with his strike, not really using much strength, a Sunshine King is still a Sunshine King, and he should absolutely crush a Moonlight Emperor!

No wonder Zhou Heng was so brazen; he really was extraordinarily mighty!

"Oh, interesting!" Luo Wuji now showed a trace of a smile. As a prodigy, he feared no challenges, "You must have some treasure that enhances your strength, right?"

He refused to believe that any Moonlight Emperor could contend with a Sunshine King, it completely overturned the iron laws of the Immortal Realm!

This was something that had never happened before in history, nor should it ever happen!

The surrounding crowd all exclaimed, realization dawning on them; they felt this was the logical explanation—wasn’t there a grand auction a month ago? Perhaps Zhou Heng had acquired some treasure from it.

Zhou Heng smiled slightly. People are always reluctant to accept their own defeat, seeking various reasons, just as they cannot achieve what he did, neither would they believe he could.

"Enough with the nonsense; since you struck at me, brace yourself for a beating!" Zhou Heng flashed into action, taking the initiative to attack.

In terms of raw power, even a Twenty-Wheel Moonlight Emperor could not clash head-on with a Three-Wheel Sunshine King, but power isn’t the sum total of battle power— he had plenty of trump cards up his sleeve!(To be continued.
