Chapter 744 The banquet begins, and talents gather!
After Lei Ao left, Ye Yufei came to Xiao Chen and asked, "Supreme Lei Ao looked very heavy when he left. Is there anything important going on?"
"It's okay. I'm just looking forward to them coming to the surface soon. I'm tired of playing hide-and-seek with them all the time!"
Xiao Chen said calmly.
That's what he really thought.
He is not afraid of how mysterious and powerful the Feixian Sect and Immortal Palace are, but he is afraid that they cannot hide themselves.
If ascending the Immortal Road can lead to all the Immortal Palaces, he will be happy with it.
He wanted to clean up this cancer at once and not give them any chance of rebirth!
Ye Yufei knew that Xiao Chen was used to shouldering everything alone. Even though she was worried, she couldn't share anything and could only sigh in her heart.
She has been practicing very hard, but she is still far away from Xiao Chen.
However, she will not give up. She believes that one day, she will be qualified to fight alongside Xiao Chen and share the burden together.
Of course, this is something!
After thinking about it, Ye Yufei took out an invitation and handed it to Xiao Chen: "This is the invitation someone just sent. As Jiang Yuan said, all the geniuses on the honor list will be invited to the banquet at the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow night!"
Xiao Chen took the invitation and said with a faint smile: "Then get ready and join in the fun tomorrow night!"
…
On the evening of the next day, Xiao Chen, Ye Yufei, Mu Ling and Mu Feng went to the city lord's mansion together.
Mu Ling and Mu Feng were also on the honor list after it was updated. Mu Ling, ranked 49, and Mu Feng, ranked 48, are both eligible to participate in the banquet.
As for Xiao Yingxue and Bing Ning, they were not strong enough and were not invited.
Xiao Chen asked Xiao Yingxue, Xiao Yingxue was not very interested in the banquet and decided to stay at the residence with Bing Ning.
She has a good relationship with Bing Ning now, and they have topics to talk about together, so there is no need to worry.
When he arrived at the city lord's mansion, Jiang Yuan was looking at the door.
When they saw Xiao Chen and his party, they immediately greeted them happily.
"Miss Ye, Mr. Xiao, you are here, I will take you in!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile on his face.
"Hey, hey, don't you see me?" Mu Ling said dissatisfied.
Jiang Yuan was stunned and said awkwardly: "Miss Mu Ling, I'm sorry!"
"Mu Ling, it's rare for a young prince to be so honest, don't bully him all the time!" Mu Feng taught him a lesson as an elder brother.
"How could I bully him?" Mu Ling said unconvinced.
"You two don't have to argue, it's my fault!" Jiang Yuan apologized.
"Don't worry about them, they are just joking!" Xiao Chen said to Jiang Yuan.
"Oh!" Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and said, "Go in first, many people are already here!"
Under the leadership of Jiang Yuan, Xiao Chen and the four of them entered the banquet venue.
Entering from the main entrance, there is an extremely spacious front yard, which can accommodate at least thousands of people without crowding.
The front yard is connected to a corridor, and after passing the corridor, you reach the banquet venue.
The size of the venue is even larger than the front yard, and the layout is very luxurious. Thousands of banquet tables can be placed here, which makes people marvel at the wealth of the Lord's Palace of Tianxu City.
The place where Xiao Chen and the others lived was assigned to them as representatives of the Spiritual Clan. Compared with the city lord's mansion, it was worse than a slum.
At a glance, there were already a lot of people at the scene. Most of them were men, but there were relatively few women.
After all, there are more geniuses on the honor list than women. There are only three women in the top twenty of the honor list: Xue Yiren, Ning Qingxuan, and Ye Yufei.
Some people were very active after arriving at the scene, and they could have a lively chat even though they didn't know each other.
And some people are aloof and arrogant, sitting in their seats all the time, saying nothing, or even closing their eyes to meditate.
"Little prince, does everyone's position have a number?" Ye Yu suddenly asked.
"There is no number, but there are classes!" Jiang Yuan said.
"class?"
"Well!" Jiang Yuan explained, "The position in the on-site row is basically linked to the honor list. The further in, the more distinguished you are. However, the top thirty positions cannot be preempted. Only those in the top thirty on the honor list can sit.
.There are not so many restrictions on the seats at the back, first come first served, you can sit wherever you want. After all, there are only 100 people invited, and there are more than 200 seats, so no matter how you sit, there will be many vacancies."
"Then let's sit here!" Xiao Chen pointed to the row of seats next to him.
This is probably the central part of the banquet. According to the ranking, it is around forty to fifty, not too front and not too late.
Of course, this is from an average perspective. In the eyes of some people, this location is undoubtedly very remote and difficult to notice.
"Mr. Xiao, you and Miss Ye are both qualified to sit in front, why do you want to sit here?" Jiang Yuan was puzzled.
At this level of banquet, the class hierarchy is very serious, and the status can be seen from the front to the back of the seat, so many people squeeze their heads to sit forward.
"It's better for us to sit together with Mu Ling Mu Feng. After all, they can't sit forward. And I'm afraid that many things will happen at today's banquet!" Xiao Chen said.
"An accident?" Jiang Yuan was startled.
"You will understand later, don't think that harmony on the surface is really harmony, the water here is very deep!" Xiao Chen said, and then said, "As a young prince, you should also greet other guests, right?
If you want to be busy, then go and do yours first!"
"Then... you guys sit down for now, I'll come see you later!" Jiang Yuan was indeed told by his father to behave well today.
After all, the Jiang family also has a pivotal position in the Zhenling Continent. Although it is weaker than the Feixian Sect, it is still a first-rate force, far from being comparable to the Ning family.
After Jiang Yuan left, Xiao Chen and the four of them sat on four seats next to each other. They were very close to each other and could communicate easily.
But during this period, they mostly looked at the people coming and going, coming in and out.
The people attending the banquet were all geniuses on the honor list, representatives from all major cultivation circles, and all possessed extraordinary potential.
Some people may not be ranked high now, but that doesn't mean they will remain silent forever. They may just be dormant, waiting for the opportunity to make a splash.
Xiao Chen accidentally saw a few geniuses with special physiques among the crowd at the back. Although they were not comparable to the innate divine body and the innate extremely yin body, they still contained amazing potential.
Given time, there is a high probability that these people will soar into the sky and trample those in front of them.
"It is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, with a lot of potential. But once they enter the path to immortality, they don't know what is waiting for them?"
From various signs, the road to immortality was initiated by the Immortal Palace under the control of the Feixian Sect. Xiao Chen had a vague hunch that there was a shocking conspiracy hidden in it.
"Xiao Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come here to sit down?" Just as Xiao Chen was deep in thought, a familiar and plaintive voice sounded, bringing Xiao Chen back to reality.
