BXBX NOVEL Chapter 903: Joining the Xiao Sect
Any appearances by the top ten rankers of the Immortal Ascension Rankings would easily cause a commotion. Everyone instantly noticed and in addition, Xiao Lengyue wasn’t merely in the top ten, she was also a supreme beauty as well. The degree of attention she caused would naturally be higher.
However, nobody dared to go up and hit on her because many of the young men around Xiao Lengyue were also rankers on the Immortal Ascension Rankings and they are all stronger compared to the #321 Ji Lanshan.
"This Ji Lanshan even dared to establish his own sect? He’s only courting humiliation." At this moment, a young man sneered, his tone filled with disdain. Although his words were mocking Ji Lanshan, the truth is that Ji Lanshan was still a ranker on the Immortal Ascension Rankings. It was only just that in front of them, Ji Lanshan was truly nothing.
"However, that fellow’s divine inscriptions formation is really not bad. To think that he’s only at the seventh-level of Celestial Phenomenon." A person stared at Qin Wentian with interest.
"Lengyue, you are interested in getting this man to join us?" A young man by the side of Xiao Lengyue asked.
"Let’s watch on further first." Xiao Lengyue’s expression was calm, there was no fluctuations to it as she quietly spectated the battle.
The others nodded, as they accompanied Xiao Lengyue and spectated the battle. The battle grew increasingly intense and Qin Wentian’s courage climbed as the battle progressed, showing no weaknesses at all. The might from his formation towered into the sky and was extremely brutal. Out of all the members of the God Extermination palace, other than Ji Lanshan who could defend against the attacks head-on, none of the others could do so. If this continued on, there was no way they would be able to take down Qin Wentian.
"Ji Lanshan, are you done yet?" At this moment, a young man beside Xiao Lengyue had his arms crossed in front of his chest as he questioned. Momentarily, Ji Lanshan retreated and ceased the battle. The other members of his God Extermination Palace retreated as well. Qin Wentian didn’t press his attacks and the battle between them came to a halt.
Ji Lanshan turned his gaze onto Xiao Lengyue and her people. His countenance was extremely ugly to behold, this battle had lost him a lot of face.
"Acting personally against newbies yet failing to capture them, even having to pay the price of injuries on so many of your sect members. Ji Lanshan, if I were you, I would no longer have the face to remain in this place." That young man with the arms crossed in front of his chest laughed, his tone filled with heavy contempt.
Ji Lanshan’s eyes turned sharp. He stared at the person who spoke and coldly replied, "What does this have to do with you?"
"Naturally this has nothing to do with me. I’m also not the one who lost face." That person shrugged.
Xiao Lengyue stared at Ji Lanshan and stated, "You guys can leave now."
Ji Lanshan glanced at Xiao Lengyue. Although he is a ranker on the Immortal Ascension Rankings, it was evident there was no way he could stand against Xiao Lengyue and her sect members. Rage smouldered in his eyes, he turned to Qin Wentian, "I will remember what happened today."
"Are you planning to continue this, getting the members of your sect to hunt me down?" Qin Wentian coldly replied, his voice filled with mockery. Everyone could understand his hidden words. The God Extermination Palace needed their entire force to be present just to deal with a newbie seventh-level ascendant.
"RETREAT!" Ji Lanshan no longer had any face to remain here, as he sounded out the command for retreat. A moment later, the experts of the God Extermination Palace all departed the area.
"Loser dog." Only to hear Little Rascal whining in its baby-like voice, causing the departing members of the God Extermination Palace to have black lines on their faces. They wanted nothing more than to cook that little bastard in a pot and eat it.
Qin Wentian’s size returned to normal. Astral light circulated around the inner clothes he was wearing. It was actually a defensive-type divine weapon that was extremely elastic, able to expand and contract at will. However, he still took a new set of robes and wore it before turning to Xiao Lengyue.
"What a beautiful maiden." Qin Wentian praised in his heart. This Xiao Lengyue was truly a supreme beauty, she had the demeanor of nobility, as well as a perfect figure. However, the bearing she exuded wouldn’t cause one to have evil thoughts about her, nobody would dare to profane her. Those beautiful eyes of hers were also looking straight at Qin Wentian at this moment and it felt as though they contained a power to hook the souls of people she stared at away.
"Your formation’s might is really not bad and your individual combat prowess should also be very strong. It’s only that your cultivation base is lower or else, Ji Lanshan would surely be defeated." Xiao Lengyue moved forward, exuding elegance with every step, mesmerizing all who looked at her.
Those beautiful eyes were focused on Qin Wentian. She then stated, "If you guys are newbies that just arrive in the City of Ancient Emperors, why don’t you join a power? My Xiao Sect can provide protection and if you join me, I dare guarantee Ji Lanshan wouldn’t dare to cause any disturbances for you."
"Xiao Lengyue actually personally initiated an invitation to him. Seems like she highly regards his capabilities." Expressions of bewilderment appeared on the faces of people. An invitation by a beauty was naturally very hard to reject.
"Hehe, even I didn’t have such a preferential treatment." The young man with his arms crossed in front of his chest spoke in a low voice.
"Lengyue most likely is impressed by his formation. However, one’s individual strength is still the ultimate capital for all cultivators here in the City of Ancient Emperors. Proficiency in the way of formations is nothing but a minor dao." An arrogant young man by the side faintly remarked, his tone exhibiting coldness.
"Xiao Sect..." Qin Wentian recalled the info on the jade slip. The Xiao Sect is the sect established by Xiao Lengyue, the daughter of the Xiao Emperor. The beautiful maiden before him should be none other than Xiao Lengyue, one of the three celestial beauties here in the City of Ancient Emperors.
Before this, the lady in the tower said that Xiao Lengyue was searching for Qing`er because she wanted a battle to prove that her ranking should be higher than Qing`er. Hence, Qin Wentian naturally paid more attention to the info on Xiao Lengyue.
This supreme beauty in front of him was actually surpassed by Qing`er in terms of the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Seems like Qing`er is getting more and more outstanding.
"In the past, it was I who delayed Qing`er’s cultivation." Qin Wentian silently sighed. Back in the particle world, Qing`er had always silently protected him from the shadows, delaying her own cultivation big time. It was impossible for one to raise their cultivation level half-heartedly, they had to be completely focused on it.
Given Qing`er’s heaven-defying physique, there was a divine strength in her to aid her. Hence, Qin Wentian didn’t feel strange when he heard that Qing`er had such accomplishments after returning back to the immortal realms.
"We were in this situation precisely because we rejected joining the God Extermination Palace earlier." Zi Qingxuan spoke. However, Xiao Lengyue didn’t look at her. Her beautiful eyes were still focused on Qin Wentian - that young man who dared to look directly into her eyes.
From that pair of eyes, Xiao Lengyue could faintly see a trace of emotion. Although she felt disdain in her heart, she was also secretly satisfied. There were many outstanding young men who were subdued by her beauty and this young man before her was merely one of many. Many supreme geniuses were willing to follow her after just one glance at her and it was precisely because of this that the Xiao Sect would become one of the top three powers here in the City of Ancient Emperors.
However, Xiao Lengyue evidently would never know that that trace of emotion, wasn’t because of her. It was because after seeing her, Qin Wentian was reminded of Qing`er.
"How about it?" Xiao Lengyue confidently asked. Her lips even curled up into a light smile, further intensifying her beauty and charm.
"If we join a power in the City of Ancient Emperors, there wouldn’t be any connection between us after we exit this place right?" Qin Wentian asked.
Qin Wentian’s words actually caused many to snicker in their hearts. Seems like this young man had no way to resist Xiao Lengyue’s charisma.
"Naturally, all sects formed in this City of Ancient Emperor is only restricted to here alone. In fact, if you want to leave the Xiao Sect in the future, you can do so anytime. The City of Ancient Emperors is just a training ground for us, we are all very casual here." Xiao Lengyue replied.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. After which he turned to Zi Qingxuan and Jun Mengchen as he transmitted his voice, "Xiao Lengyue is searching for Qing`er. If I join the Xiao Sect, I would be among the first group in the City of Ancient Emperors to find her. I will choose to temporarily join the Xiao Sect, how about you guys?"
"I will follow you senior brother." Jun Mengchen transmitted his voice in reply.
Zi Qingxuan contemplated a moment, her beautiful eyes on Qin Wentian. She sighed in her heart, it seems like Qin Wentian’s feelings for this Princess Qing`er are extremely deep. She then transmitted her voice in reply as well, "Let’s stick together."
"Thank you." Qin Wentian’s eyes flickered with hints of a smile. The three of them exchanged glances, Qin Wentian then turned to Xiao Lengyue and spoke, "We are willing to join the Xiao Sect."
"Seems like, he is still unable to resist the beauty and charm of Xiao Lengyue."
"But this is also normal and in addition, Xiao Lengyue is personally inviting him. To newbies in the City of Ancient Emperors, this is already a matter of very great glory."
The other spectators started discussing, while those experts of the Xiao Sect all had different expressions.
"Welcome to all of you." Xiao Lengyue smiled at Qin Wentian before turning, "Let’s return to the Xiao Sect. You guys give the newbies an introduction."
"Senior brother, this Xiao Lengyue seems to be very proud. Out of the three celestial beauties here in the City of Ancient Emperors, we finally met one." Jun Mengchen laughed as he transmitted his voice to Qin Wentian.
The three of them followed after Xiao Lengyue, only to see the other experts of the Xiao Sect glancing at them. That arrogant young man swept his gaze over as he spoke, "The Xiao Sect does not accept mediocre characters. If you guys are too weak, you would be expelled from our sect sooner or later.
After speaking, he turned and walked shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Lengyue as he spoke, "Lengyue, I really don’t understand why you need to recruit those three."
"You don’t have the need to know why." Xiao Lengyue calmly replied, her words causing the proud young man to shake his head.
"What an arrogant fellow." Qin Wentian snorted coldly, staring at the back view of the young man.
"His name is Xia Qianhan and he is always like this. Don’t mind him too much." The young man with his arms crossed in front of his chest smiled. Staring at Qin wentian and his companions, he added, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Yu, the Yu (jade) for the Yu in jade maidens. However evidently, I’m a male."
"Hahaha, if I didn’t see you personally and merely heard your name, I would really think that you are a female." Jun Mengchen laughed.
"Ranked #81 of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, Li Yu." Qin Wentian mumbled as his eyes flashed with sharpness. He then continued, "Xia Qianhan, ranked #96 of the Immortal Ascension Rankings."
"Your memory isn’t bad." Li Yu smiled, "However Xia Qianhan is right, the Xiao Sect does not recruit mediocre people. Although Xiao Lengyue is a female, her judgement is exceedingly high and she wouldn’t even glance at ordinary characters. However, if your performances in the future are not up to standard, you might really be expelled from the Xiao Sect.
"Performances? Would the Xiao Sect fight against the other sects here in the City of Ancient Emperors?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Oh that would only happen very rarely. After all, the Xiao Sect can be considered one of the top three powers currently in the City of Ancient Emperors. Ordinary powers wouldn’t dare to antagonize us. However, all of you should know that this City of Ancient Emperors is a training ground with secret realms and treasure locations in the wilderness. Sometimes, conflicts would occur and in fact, there are even rumors saying there are inheritances left here by immortal emperors from the ancient era."
