Chapter 1327 - 1328: Mo Xuan’s Shock
The Thousand Cities Banquet, a gathering of influential figures from all over the Thousand Cities.
Given its name as the Thousand Cities Banquet, a contest is naturally inevitable.
In essence, the Thousand Cities Banquet brings together the City Lords of a hundred cities, each accompanied by the most outstanding individuals from their domain, not to mention those eager to witness the legendary reputation of Yao Junlin.
Having spent over three years abroad and joined the Luoshen Sect for cultivation, he returns in glory. How many years has it been since someone emerged like this from the Thousand Cities?
For the Celestial Demon City, their moment of glory has arrived.
At this moment, Mo Xuan led the group from Ice Sea City into the palace.
This palace had already been arranged in advance, prepared specially for Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan, esteemed as a City Lord, visiting the Celestial Demon City as a guest is naturally an honored event. It would be unthinkable to have him reside with guests from other cities, otherwise, people might think the Celestial Demon City lacks hospitality.
"How do you feel?" At this moment, Mo Xuan spoke with a smile to Xiao Tianyu, leaving him quite speechless.
So he asked, "What do you mean, how?"
"The land of the Thousand Cities, where the most outstanding talents from a hundred cities converge; don’t you want a glimpse?"
Mo Xuan continued to say to Xiao Tianyu, "Bai Bufan from Baiyun City is an exceedingly remarkable person in the Thousand Cities, rumored to be undefeated among his peers. Aren’t you curious? Besides Bai Bufan, there’s the son of the City Lord of Zhou City, Zhou Mian, and the Young City Lord of Yuelong City, Yue Qingfeng... These people are all quite renowned in the Thousand Cities. If you defeat any of them, you will be known throughout the Thousand Cities!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu smiled but remained silent.
Mo Qingluan looked at Mo Xuan strangely, thinking to herself, if dad knew these people had already been defeated by Tianyu, he wouldn’t know what to feel.
After the battle at the Drumming Battle Platform in the Soul Refining Battlefield, Mo Qingluan believed that Xiao Tianyu’s name had already swept through the Thousand Cities.
After all, those who died in the Drumming Battlefield weren’t truly dead but rather eliminated; wouldn’t those who left spread Xiao Tianyu’s name far and wide?
"Why are you all looking at me so strangely?" Mo Xuan was quite bewildered.
At that moment, a guard entered from outside and spoke to Mo Xuan, "City Lord?"
"What’s the matter?" Mo Xuan asked.
The guard continued, "The Young City Lord Bai Bufan from Baiyun City is here to seek an audience..."
"Bai Bufan?"
"Yes!" The guard nodded.
Mo Xuan’s deep eyes flashed with perplexity. Ice Sea City and Baiyun City have long had no connections, let alone any friendship, so why would Bai Bufan come seeking an audience now?
But since someone came to seek an audience, Mo Xuan naturally couldn’t turn them away, so he spoke to the guard, "Let him in!"
"Yes!" The guard nodded and retreated.
After a short while, Bai Bufan, dressed in white, handsome beyond compare, entered the palace. Mo Xuan sat in the main seat, his eyes focused on Bai Bufan with a smile, and began to speak, "Nephew, what brings you here!"
"Greetings, Uncle Mo!" Bai Bufan respectfully saluted. Mo Xuan was taken aback; he had heard Bai Bufan was an extremely proud person, yet he was so respectful towards Mo Xuan.
So Mo Xuan waved his hand, "Nephew, rise!"
"Thank you, Uncle Mo!" After rising, Bai Bufan’s gaze fell directly on Xiao Tianyu, smiled, and said, "Brother Xiao, we’ve met again so soon!"
"I didn’t expect it to be so soon!" Xiao Tianyu smiled faintly. Bai Bufan wrapped his arm around Xiao Tianyu, laughing heartily, "Brother, from now on, just call me Bufan!"
"Brother?" Xiao Tianyu froze for a moment. From the looks of it, Bai Bufan seemed to be a year or two older than him, yet he called him brother?
Xiao Tianyu was quite puzzled by this.
But Bai Bufan laughed and said, "Does Brother look down on me, or think I’m unworthy to be your brother?"
"Not at all, it’s just..."
"Then that’s settled!" Bai Bufan laughed loudly.
In this Martial Arts-centric world, there’s no age consideration. Strength dictates hierarchy. At the Drumming Battle Platform, Bai Bufan was defeated by Xiao Tianyu, hence calling Xiao Tianyu his brother.
"Alright!" Xiao Tianyu laughed heartily, like a breath of spring, "If I insisted any further, I would seem petty!"
What’s happening?
Mo Xuan was dumbfounded, watching all this, confused that after he just spoke of Bai Bufan, Bai Bufan’s visit concluded with him and Xiao Tianyu being like brothers. Could it be they already knew each other?
Pfft~
Mo Qingluan chuckled lightly beside him, exuding unmatched beauty.
Mo Xuan was even more irked, and couldn’t help but ask, "You?"
"Dad, they already met at the Soul Refining Battlefield!" Mo Qingluan rolled her eyes at Mo Xuan and continued, "At the Soul Refining Battlefield..."
"Wait..." Mo Xuan interrupted, even more confused, "You just said what, Soul Refining Battlefield?"
"Yes!" Mo Qingluan wasn’t hiding anything, she continued, "The rumors are true, the seventh level of the Cold Ice Tower leads to a battlefield named Soul Refining, with entrances across the Thousand Cities... As for those two, they met at the Soul Refining Battlefield!"
Mo Qingluan explained everything that happened at the Soul Refining Battlefield in detail, though she kept secret how many residual spirits Xiao Tianyu held, as it was his greatest secret.
Around them, except for Li Fei.
Zhuang Feiyan, Yan Hai, Su Mei’Er, Li Qingyun... and others were all shocked.
The Soul Refining Battlefield, with Soul Power as its foundation, defeated all the outstanding talents of the Thousand Cities. What kind of groundbreaking achievement is that? Even Bai Bufan was defeated.
Moreover, they pondered; perhaps that battle was extremely intense!
Whoa~
Mo Xuan couldn’t contain himself either, and immediately stood up.
For someone like Mo Xuan, a formidable figure, what scenes hasn’t he witnessed? No need to say much about his state of mind.
However, after hearing Mo Qingluan’s words, he was still shocked.
Kidding, that Xiao Tianyu defeated all heroes with Soul Power, what an incredible achievement.
Though the battle was one of Soul Power, not actual strength, there’s no doubt that Xiao Tianyu’s potential is higher than anyone else’s.
Is this finding a treasure?
"Qingluan, are your words accurate?" Clearly, Mo Xuan was still skeptical; it’s been so many years, and Ice Sea City hasn’t produced such a prodigy.
"Of course, it’s accurate!" Mo Qingluan nodded, her beautiful eyes sneaked a glance at Xiao Tianyu, who was once so aloof, but in her heart now, the one she admired most was Xiao Tianyu, who crushed the prodigies of the Thousand Cities with Soul Power.
Even Bai Bufan was defeated by him.
"No need to be so excited, right?" Xiao Tianyu glanced at Mo Xuan, speaking naturally, "It’s just a battle result, is there such a need?"
Crash~
Hearing this, everyone present stumbled.
Just a battle result?
They just wanted to ask, is this a regular battle result?
Even Mo Xuan was speechless, looking at Xiao Tianyu, this guy could put on quite the act; he just wanted to ask, was that an ordinary battle result?
Kidding, those were almost certainly the most outstanding few from the Thousand Cities.
