n“Brother Ming Han, how have you been?”

nYe Tiancheng stood on his throne without getting up.

nOr rather, none of the cultivators in the Mystic Courtyard were worthy of him standing up to welcome them!

nYe Tiancheng waved his hand gently and the nine wyrms in front of him understood. They opened up a path and allowed Ming Han to enter.

nYe Tiancheng sat on his throne high and mighty.

nMing Han stood below.

nEven so, that was enough to make many cultivators envious.

nTo be able to have a friendly relationship with Ye Tiancheng and converse with him at such a close distance was already a great honor for many cultivators.

nThe atmosphere on the side of Hundred Refinement Sect was a little depressing.

nThe closer Ming Han and Ye Tiancheng were, the worse the situation for Hundred Refinement Sect was!

nA moment later, Dao Being Yu Ding turned around and consoled Liu Hanyan, “Junior Sister Liu, you don’t have to worry. As long as you win the weapon refinement competition and salvage the reputation of the sect with pride, it wouldn’t matter even if Ming Han is acquainted with Ye Tiancheng.”

n“Yes,”

nLiu Hanyan nodded and pursed her lips in silence.

nSu Zimo sighed internally.

nAlthough Dao Being Yu Ding’s intention was to console her, his words clearly gave Liu Hanyan even more pressure!

nRight then, the doors to the inner courtyard of Mystic Courtyard opened and a group of beautiful female cultivators walked out. Their figures and appearances varied but they were all unique in their own rights.

nThe woman at the front wore a white dress that fluttered in the wind. She was extremely beautiful and had an indifferent expression. There was no human aura around her and she looked like a fairy that had descended onto the mortal realm.

nHowever, her gaze was cold and she resembled an iceberg, causing many cultivators to shrink back.

n“Wow!”

n“Fairy Leng Rou has appeared!”

n“Truly peerless and devastatingly beautiful!”

nThe crowd gasped.

nAlthough her entrance was not grand, the commotion caused by Leng Rou’s appearance was no less than Ye Tiancheng!

nRaising his head, Su Zimo looked at the woman who was walking over slowly with a warm gaze and a sincere smile.

nAfter not seeing her for a hundred years, Leng Rou had grown increasingly cold and aloof.

nSu Zimo was delighted to see that his old friend was fine.

nAlthough Leng Rou was in a predicament right now, he was already here and naturally wouldn’t let his old friend suffer any grievances!

nSu Zimo looked at Leng Rou, lost in his thoughts.

nAt the side, Ru Xuan was displeased.

n“Humph!”

nPouting her lips, Ru Xuan glared at Su Zimo and snapped, “I thought that you would be able to keep your cool. But you’re the same when you see a beauty! Hey, be careful. Your saliva will flow out soon!”

nLiu Hanyan frowned slightly, feeling surprised.

nIn her impression, Su Zimo was not that sort of a playboy.

nShe was a beauty herself.

nBack when they first met, Su Zimo had never revealed such a gaze or smile.

nFurthermore, if even Ye Tiancheng could not move Su Zimo, how could this Fairy Leng Rou possess such charm?

nLiu Hanyan did not understand.

nFurthermore, she noticed that Su Zimo was not looking at Fairy Leng Rou with infatuated or lustful eyes.

nSu Zimo looked at Fairy Leng Rou with a clear and gentle gaze.

nLiu Hanyan glanced sideways at Ye Tiancheng who was not far away.

nAt that moment, Ye Tiancheng was also looking at Leng Rou.

nHowever, Ye Tiancheng’s gaze was condescending and filled with dominance, causing Liu Hanyan to feel uncomfortable.

n“Leng Rou, I’m here.”

nYe Tiancheng stood up slowly and looked at Leng Rou with a smile.

nHe had a haughty expression as though he was waiting for Leng Rou to make a reply.

nUnfortunately, Leng Rou did not even look at him.

nThe situation was awkward.

nThe clamor of the crowd around them died down as well.

nA cold glint flashed through Ye Tiancheng’s eyes before he chuckled with a carefree expression. Seemingly unconcerned, he sat back down.

n“Fufu.”

nOut of nowhere, a cultivator could not help but laugh.

nYe Tiancheng’s expression turned cold.

nA Nascent Soul maidservant who was initially standing beside him leaped into the crowd. Her sleeves fluttered and she thrust forward with a dagger that possessed a cold glint!

nThe cultivator was flustered and caught off guard.

nHe had not expected anybody to dare attack someone else in front of so many Void Reversions of Thousand Crane Sect!

nFurthermore, although the Nascent Soul realm woman looked weak, her attack was extremely decisive and ruthless – she did not hold back at all when she stabbed the man’s glabella!

nCultivators who could attend the tea party were no ordinary people.

nClang!

nSlapping his storage bag, the man drew out a long saber and slashed viciously at the incoming dagger!

nClang!

nThe saber and dagger collided!

nThe man shuddered.

nAlthough the Nascent Soul realm woman was skinny, the power she released was extremely shocking – he could not hold his saber properly!

nAll of a sudden!

nA cold glint flashed through the Nascent Soul realm woman’s eyes as she changed her moves extremely quickly!

nWith a twist of her wrist, the dagger’s edge slid down along the saber and sliced off four of the cultivator’s fingers!

n“Ah!”

nWith a tragic cry, the person staggered in retreat with a bloodied palm.

nUnexpectedly, the Nascent Soul realm woman did not hold back at all. With a cold expression, she closed in and threw her dagger.

nThe dagger circled around the person’s neck nimbly before returning to her hand.

nPoof!

nA gigantic head fell!

nIn his shock, the Nascent Soul’s Essence Spirit left his body.

nHowever, the Essence Spirit did not manage to escape far before it convulsed in the cold wind. Its light dimmed rapidly and dissipated in the void, dying on the spot!

nThe Essence Spirits of Nascent Souls were way too weak and would die before long without their bodies!

nThe huge Mystic Courtyard was so silent that one could hear a pin drop!

nNobody expected the Nascent Soul to be killed on the spot because of a single laugh!

nFurthermore, Ye Tiancheng was not the one who attacked personally.

nInstead, his maidservant sliced off the person’s head with two slashes!

nNormally, cultivators were forbidden from fighting to the death within Thousand Crane Sect.

nEven if it was a fight between the paragons of the tea party, they would only stop when things were right and no killing was allowed.

nWho would have thought that Ye Tiancheng would be so domineering?

nBefore the Thousand Crane Tea Party even began, it was already stained with blood.

nThe courtyard was filled with a murderous aura and all the cultivators were silent.

nYe Tiancheng finally opened his mouth and said lazily, “Ye Qi merely wanted to teach him a lesson and had already held back. He was the one who courted death and chose to release his Essence Spirit. She can’t be blamed for that.”

nYe Qi was the name of that Nascent Soul maidservant.

nTo be precise, the nine maidservants had no names but numbers, from Ye Yi to Ye Jiu1.

nWhen the Void Reversions of Thousand Crane Sect heard that explanation, they frowned but did not say anything, acknowledging his reason in silence.

nThe hearts of the cultivators turned cold.

nYe Tiancheng’s words were completely unreasonable!

nBy beheading a Nascent Soul’s head, Ye Qi destroyed the Nascent Soul’s physical body!

nOnce his head was severed, his blood qi would dry up before long.

nEven if that person’s Essence Spirit did not leave his body and resided within his withered head, it would not be able to hold out for long and would still die!

nYe Qi’s attack was no different from killing that person!

nEveryone understood that logic.

nHowever, the Void Reversions of Thousand Crane Sect acknowledged it!

nThis incident was also proof of Thousand Crane Sect’s attitude towards Ye Tiancheng.

n“Tsk, tsk, tsk. The number one of the Phenomenon Ranking sure is impressive!”

nRight then, another mocking laughter sounded from the courtyard.
