As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1244
Chapter 1244 Celebration Banquet
“Princess!” The Asura Generals behind him were all shocked, but looking at the white-haired man’s appearance, it seemed that he did not intend to hurt anyone.
“The cultivators of the Four Alliances have already entered. I don’t know how many of them there are. If you want to survive, then take advantage of this and leave this place.”
Xiao Chen looked at the Asura Princess in front of him and said indifferently.
“If you hadn’t broken through the Misty Hidden Realm, how would they have been able to attack?”
Yanyue Wuqing’s face was still filled with hatred. With a “zheng” sound, he activated all the profound energy in his body, but the Asura Saber in his hand was tightly condensed by the other party, and he was actually unable to move at all.
“I’ve already brought your words. You guys can do whatever you want next.” Xiao Chen glanced at her. With a wave of his hand, he released the Asura Blade. With a movement of his body, he instantly disappeared.
“Princess!”
Two generals immediately walked up from behind and supported her. A young general looked in Xiao Chen’s direction and said, “He’s not from Mirage Sea.”
“How can I see it?” Another general asked.
“Didn’t you hear him address Mirage Sea as’them ‘just now? And …”
As the young general spoke, he looked at the hundreds of thousands of clansmen and said, “If it were the members of the Four Mirage Sea Alliances, it would be impossible for them to escort our clansmen over …”
“No matter how many people there are, Mirage Sea’s people will soon attack here. Bring their clansmen back to the Asura Sea immediately. Princess … Let’s go!”
The two generals forcefully pulled Yanyue Wuqing back to the Asura Sea. This time, the four Mirage Sea Alliances had come prepared. The array formation of the Misty Realm had been broken. Even if they rushed forward, they would only die in vain.
…
In this battle, the four alliances of Mirage Sea had won. They had already taken down most of Ghost Rock. The morale of the entire Mirage Sea was greatly boosted. Even those cultivators who had originally avoided the world had left the mountain after hearing that they had taken down Ghost Rock.
As a result, Mirage Sea’s strength instantly became even more terrifying. Not only was it the Ghost Rock, but even the Asuras in many other places had been defeated by the tidal wave of cultivators from Mirage Sea.
Ghost Luo Yan’s greatest significance in this battle was not the Ghost Luo Yan himself, but to boost the morale of the entire Mirage Sea. Only then would those cultivators who avoided the battle come out one after another. This way, Mirage Sea’s strength would increase several times. This was exactly what Wang Ting and the others wanted.
Seven days had passed. In this war with the Asura, Mirage Sea had won a great victory. In Guiyuan City, gongs and drums were sounding in unison to celebrate victory.
At this moment, a grand celebration banquet was also held in the Four Alliances Temple. The Alliance Leaders of the Four Alliances were all present. Of course, there were also Xiao Chen, Chu Qingyu, and the other Sect Leaders and Elders of the other participating forces. At this moment, they were all participating in the celebration banquet in the main hall. As for the other cultivators of the various forces, they were seated in the square outside the hall.
Evidently, those who could sit in the hall were not ordinary people. The ASEAN Alliance Master, Immortal Palace Wang Ting, the West Alliance Master, Long Ju, the South Alliance Master, Huangfu Ying of Cloud Pavilion, and the North Alliance Master, Xiao Que, Shangguan Hong.
It was hard to say which Alliance Master was the strongest among the four alliances. However, apart from the four Alliance Masters, there was also a high seat on the other side. The person sitting on the seat was a pale-haired but dignified Old man Qingyi. Next to Old man Qingyi was Chu Qingyu.
Old man Qingyi’s name was Chu Yuanqing, and he was Chu Qingyu’s grandfather. As for Mu Wang Chuyun, he was still guarding the border, so he hadn’t arrived yet.
No one in the four alliances dared to underestimate the strength of the Chu Clan. Chu Yuanqing already had the cultivation of an early Second Realm cultivator, but he was not the strongest person in the Chu Clan. The strongest person in the Chu Clan was the great-grandfather of Chu Qingyu, also known as Chu Yuanqing’s father. The Chu Clan’s descendants respectfully referred to him as Grand Patriarch.
Chu Fengyang had been hidden in the Chu Clan’s Profound Realm more than 600 years ago, and had never left the world since then. However, even after hundreds of years, Chu Fengyang’s name was still enough to cause any faction in the Land of Mirage Sea to tremble.
Perhaps some of the younger generation didn’t know this name long ago, but those from the older generation would still tremble when they heard this name.
It could be seen that the strength of the Chu Clan was far from what people had seen. Mu Wang Chuyun had eight million Imperial Army, which was only secondary.
And many people might have overlooked a problem. Chu Qingyu’s current strength is no longer below Chu Fengyang’s back then. In the future, it is very likely that it will surpass Chu Fengyang and reach the Legendary Realm … If that is the case, the situation in Mirage Sea will probably change.
Of course, at today’s celebration banquet, no one thought about such a long-term matter. Everyone was chatting and laughing happily. Speaking of this great victory for Ghost Rock, their faces were filled with excitement.
And in this battle with Ghost Rock, Mirage Sea was able to win without a doubt because Xiao Chen had broken through the Misty Hidden Realm. And Xiao Chen represented the Immortal Palace this time. Wang Ting’s face was naturally filled with joy today.
“Speaking of which, if Little Friend Xuan Yue hadn’t risked his life to break through the Asura’s Mist Hidden Realm this time, we wouldn’t have broken through so easily. Come, Little Friend Xuan Yue, let me propose a toast to you.”
It wasn’t just Wang Ting, there were also many other respected people who raised their wine glasses to Xiao Chen. However, Xiao Chen remained silent and drank alone. The scene of countless ordinary Asura clansmen pouring into a pool of blood was still in his mind.
Wang Ting smiled and said, “Little friend Xuan Yue is young, but she has already seen through people. With such a cultivation, she can be considered a dragon and phoenix amongst men.”
As soon as these words were spoken, some people smiled and echoed. Others remained silent. In the past, the term “dragon and phoenix amongst men” had always been used on Chu Qingyu.
At this time, on the side of the West Alliance Divine Palace, Alliance Master Long Ju suddenly put down the wine cup in his hand and asked Long Zhan beside him, “Dragon War, how many Asura Outsiders did you kill in the Ghost Rock Battle this time?”
“17,000 people!”
“Alright!”
Long Ju raised his head and smiled. When the people beside him heard that Long Zhan alone had killed 17,000 people, it was truly shocking. He was worthy of being called the “War God”.
This time, the four alliances had joined forces and four young men had charged forward. On the South Alliance side, Cloud Pavilion Alliance Master Huangfu Ying also smiled and asked Bai Yuhan, “Yuhan, how many people did you kill?”
Bai Yuhan said with a gentle smile, “I’m not as good at fighting as Brother Long Zhan. I only killed more than 7,000 outsiders.”
“Mm …”
Huangfu Ying nodded in satisfaction. On the side of the Northern Alliance’s Xiao Que, Shangguan Hong asked, “Ruoxue, how many Asura warriors did you kill this time?”
Shangguan Ruoxue said, “Like Brother Bai, I killed more than 7,000 people.”
“Good, good …”
Shangguan Hong smiled and nodded. Obviously, she was still satisfied. At this time, on the ASEAN side, Chu Yuanqing asked indifferently, “Qing Yu, how many enemies did you annihilate this time?”
At this moment, the entire hall suddenly quieted down. Many people looked at Chu Qingyu, wanting to know how many enemies he had killed on the battlefield this time.
Chu Qingyu slowly put down the wine cup in her hand and said softly, “39,000 people.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall became filled with sounds of needles falling down. Everyone looked at him with incredulous eyes. He had killed more enemies than the other three combined …
“Good … Good!”
Just as the entire hall was quiet, an old man from the Chu Clan raised his head and smiled. He drank a cup of wine and then looked at Xiao Chen, “Little friend Xuan Yue, how many enemies did you annihilate at Ghost Rock this time?”
Hearing this, everyone’s gazes fell on Xiao Chen. Wang Ting’s face was also filled with pride. He thought that if Xuan Yue killed more enemies than Chu Qingyu, then his Chu Clan might really have to restrain their spirit in the future.
However, at this moment, it was not as everyone thought. Xiao Chen was still expressionless. He drank all the wine in his hand and placed the glass on the table with a “bang”. He said, “I’m not strong enough to drink. Alliance Leaders, excuse me.” After saying that, he got up and strode out of the hall.
“This … he …”
Quite a few people were stunned. This was unavoidable … Now that the four Alliance Masters were all here, how could he be so rude?
“Hmph … I don’t know how to behave.” On the Northern Alliance side, Shangguan Hong snorted coldly and said unhappily.
Wang Ting smiled and said, “Xuan Yue rarely drinks alcohol in normal days. Perhaps she is not used to it today. Everyone … don’t take offense.”
An old man said, “Alliance Leader Wang is too serious. I think Young Hero Xuan Yue is more upright and straightforward than those people in the dark … Stop talking, stop talking. In short, it’s all thanks to Young Hero Mirage Sea that our Xuan Yue won this time. Come, Alliance Leader Wang, let me propose a toast to you.”
On the other side, the Chu Clan’s expression was somewhat ugly. Could it be that this person’s previous words were mocking the Chu Clan’s self-esteem? What? Could it be that this person’s contribution to breaking through the Misty Realm this time is equal to the great contribution his Chu Clan has made to ASEAN and Mirage Sea?
“Daddy, I’m going out to see Xuan Yue Childe.”
“Yes, Meng’er, you can go.”
At this moment, it was extremely noisy outside. Everyone laughed happily. Xiao Chen arrived at the edge of the cliff alone. Even the wind that blew towards him carried waves of bone-chilling coldness.
The cold breeze and setting sun, the mournful silhouette of his back, and the lively celebration banquet behind him seemed out of place.
“Xuan Yue Childe.”
A gentle woman’s voice sounded behind her. Wang Yunmeng, who was dressed in flawless green clothes, walked up. She seemed to have noticed Xiao Chen’s heavy heart and whispered, “What happened to Childe just now …”
“No.”
Xiao Chen didn’t want to say anything else. He just wanted to find a quiet place and not be disturbed by anyone.
Wang Yun dreamt that he didn’t say anything and smiled softly, “I know that Childe wants to get the Mirage Sea glass and get the spot to Ancient Immortal Realm. If that’s the case, then Childe doesn’t have to worry. This time, your father will definitely give you the Mirage Sea glass. Don’t worry, no one will object.”
“So, thank the Alliance Master for me. Also … I want to be alone. Miss Yun Meng, you can go back.”
Xiao Chen glanced at her. After he finished speaking, he walked to the other side of the green cliff. Wang Yunmeng was stunned for a moment. When she regained her senses, his figure had already disappeared from the tens of thousands of green trees.
