Chapter 674: Chapter 526: It Doesn’t Know My Name
Who could have imagined
that in the depths of the surging Western Hong, there would stand a towering Mount Yu whose peak one cannot see just by looking up?
The mountain body was clear and translucent, layered upon layered, exuding both elegance and a sense of order with its glazed pavilions, faintly revealing the strict hierarchy from top to bottom.
Upon seeing Mount Yu, all cultivators and demons fell silent and lined up orderly to move forward.
Shen Yi casually glanced around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, his fingertips concealed within his robe subtly flickered. The Shape Changing Method he had prepared specifically for infiltrating Southern Hong was put to use once again.
He didn’t make any exaggerated adjustments, only causing some minor details to change on that handsome face—his brows and eyes appeared a bit colder, and his lips seemed to carry an unmeltable chill, giving off a sense of unapproachability.
Shen Yi was quite familiar with changing appearances and adeptly adjusted his facial expression.
In an instant, he transformed from a seemingly restrained young cultivator into a solitary and aloof Loose Cultivator.
One could see that the so-called Dragon Consort’s birthday banquet was no less grand than the Seven Sons Grand Assembly of old.
Even cultivators owning the expanse of the Three Cities Realm, who would otherwise be regarded as top elders in an Immortal Sect like Liu Xingshan, now had to line up dutifully to approach Mount Yu.
The reason Shen Yi took this action was not only to prepare for what might happen next, but also because he had made a new assessment of the danger level of the event.
That Dragon Consort... or rather, someone likely on par with the Union Dao Realm Stage might be seated within Mount Yu.
Otherwise, who could suppress such a group of proud and arrogant powerhouses?
Yu Lan, seemingly wandering far from Shen Yi, made it look as if the two had no association, but she was always at a distance where she could lend aid at a moment’s notice, should any mishaps occur.
The procession moved swiftly like a dragon.
Below Mount Yu, a Black-backed Jiao in human form loudly called out, "Julu Sect, Sun Void True Pills, one hundred bottles, and a pure royal jade hairpin as a birthday gift for the Dragon Consort! The sixty-sixth floor, please!"
Once the names were called, other Black-Back Jiao guards immediately stepped forward to lead the way.
A few Julu Sect cultivators turned back with beaming smiles, clearly pleased, and bid farewell to the many fellow Daoists they had been accompanied by.
Being able to step into a higher position within Mount Yu was a representation of one’s sect’s status in Western Hong.
In full view of everyone, a beautiful woman in an exquisite green feathered dress with a graceful figure walked by. Despite her eye-catching fair skin, under her indifferent expression, neither demon nor cultivator dared to look at her a second time.
Yu Lan ignored the nearby Black-Back Jiao guard and headed straight for Mount Yu.
The guard’s eyelids twitched, and after sensing the faint Heartflame aura emanating from her, he fell silent for a moment, then whispered to a colleague, "Ninety-ninth floor."
The Green Phoenix Clan and Western Dragon Palace were inherently at odds. Although the guard did not know this woman’s exact status, simply by her demeanor and the profound and unfathomable level of her strength, her position within the clan was certainly not low.
Attending the banquet alone with such an expression clearly meant she had other intentions.
It would be better to arrange for her to be closer to the Dragon Consort.
After all, even if the Green Phoenix Clan’s ancient ancestors personally came, it was unlikely they could gain any advantage from the Dragon Consort.
Thinking this, the Black-Back Jiao guard returned his gaze and continued to call out names.
Soon, a figure in black robes quietly approached.
Just as this person seemed to be passing by quietly, the guard’s eyelids twitched again, and he knocked forcefully twice on the desk with the gift list.
Thump, thump.
What’s the big idea! Really here for a free meal?
"..."
Shen Yi sighed internally, lamenting that the Heaven and Earth Treasures he had painstakingly collected were going to be wasted on a demon, which felt like a wrongdoing.
He focused his mind into the finger ring, scanned through Lao Qi’s collection, and then placed a seemingly ordinary string of beads on the table.
The Black-Back Jiao guard silently glanced at the beads and opened his mouth, unsure if he should announce it.
To outsiders, these beads were incredibly rare; to obtain a string, one would have to pay a hefty price. But the problem was... it was immediately obvious that they were items unique to the Dragon Palace. Using something from the Dragon Palace as a tribute to the Dragon Consort?!
Wasn’t that a bit too foolish?
Observing the barely concealed distress in the cultivator’s eyes and checking out his simple attire, the Jiao guard found it both infuriating and amusing.
What kind of bumpkin was this? His luck was unbelievably good, possessing such formidable cultivation that he wouldn’t lose out much even when compared to the renowned geniuses of the great sects.
It was as if a realization hit the guard. A Loose Cultivist, narrow in experience and naive in gift-giving, subconsciously thought to gather items from the Dragon Palace. Although it seemed oblivious to social convention, the earnestness was clear and obvious.
This was clearly a cultivator who had come to pledge loyalty to the Dragon Consort.
"Take him to the ninety-ninth floor."
Having decided, the Black-Back Jiao guard whispered the instruction once again.
Shen Yi, with his keen hearing, took note of this floor number, and the look of regret in his eyes deepened.
Damn, he had given too much.
He slightly raised his eyes towards Mount Yu ahead, needing to think of a way to recoup the losses.
...
Crafted with exquisite care, the crystal-clear dome sparkled, and the artistic lanterns shone.
Even each piece of the white floor tiles was painted with a different pattern, which together composed a magnificent scroll.
In the hall, there were beautiful dancers with graceful movements, their delicate dresses fluttering in the air, pretty yet not lascivious. Despite their modest cultivation, they exuded a sense of refinement.
