Chapter 274: Chapter 273 Already Reserved

The speaker was none other than the Saint Heir of Spirit Void.

The strongest among the younger generation of the Spirit Void Sacred Land.

He was once known as the leader among the three great prodigies within a hundred thousand miles of the Azure Mountain Range.

The other two of the three great prodigies were the Xuanmo Saint Heir and the Smoke Mist Holy Daughter.

The Xuanmo Saint Heir was naturally the saint heir of Xuanmo Cave.

And the Smoke Mist Holy Daughter was the holy daughter of Smoke Mist Mountain.

These three were once the three great prodigies within a hundred thousand miles of the Azure Mountain Range.

Even the exceptional prodigies from Thunder Cloud Mountain and Ancient Yun Shang Country could hardly match their fame.

And at the time, the Chief Disciple of Emperor Immortal Sect, Leng Yifan, wasn’t even qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as them.

However, Zhou Youwei somehow seemed to have the qualifications.

It was a pity that Zhou Youwei was too young and her power had not yet fully developed.

But all that changed after the trip to the Golden Pond of Lie Tian Heavenly Country.

Within a hundred thousand miles of the Azure Mountain Range, the first among the younger generation was now Ye Xuan, who even surpassed Zhou Youwei.

This caused much dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Seeing Ye Xuan spouting nonsense there, the Saint Heir of Spirit Void chose to voice his mockery without reservation.

"Exactly, if you have the ability to ride the Ancient Divine Chariot pulled by a True Dragon and Divine Phoenix, then why bother boarding the High-Grade Spirit Boat booked by our three great forces?"

A voice came from nearby as well.

When the crowd dispersed, one would see a black-robed youth, his eyebrows filled with arrogance, now standing with his arms crossed and looking at Ye Xuan with a mocking smile.

The Xuanmo Saint Heir.

"It seems that Emperor Immortal Sect has not yet paid the Spirit Stones this time?" a pleasant voice rang out.

It came from a woman in a goose-yellow dress, with an oval face, delicate features, and a trace of coldness on her cool face.

The Smoke Mist Mountain Holy Daughter.

The three seemed to have an unspoken agreement, mocking almost simultaneously.

"You!"

Hearing these taunts, the disciples of Emperor Immortal Sect all had unsightly expressions.

Mu Baicheng also slowly stopped walking, standing on the deck with an indifferent expression.

Upon seeing this, the Sect Masters of the three great forces all narrowed their eyes slightly but did not speak.

"Your boarding of this High-Grade Spirit Boat is only thanks to the light of our three great forces. You didn’t even join us, yet you got to board this boat—we’ve been more than gracious to you, and still, you don’t know your place."

Some disciples of Xuanmo Cave said with low laughter.

This made many disciples secretly laugh as well.

Their words made the faces of Emperor Immortal Sect members turn even uglier, as they clenched their fists in silence, the excitement they had felt earlier completely dissipated.

"Ye Xuan, I know you have some strength, but sometimes, try not to always show off," the Xuanmo Saint Heir said to Ye Xuan, his smile seemingly mocking.

"Big Brother, let’s switch to a different Spirit Boat. It’s just a Spirit Boat; can our Emperor Immortal Sect not afford it?"

Zhu Xiaofei, Lv Xiuli, and others, unable to bear this insult, whispered to Ye Xuan.

"Switch to another one? Sorry, but at this Spirit Boat port, there is only one High-Grade Spirit Boat available, and only we three great forces have the privilege to board it," a disciple from Spirit Void Sacred Land said with a laugh.

Those words immediately made Zhu Xiaofei and the others go pale.

Yet what the disciple said was indeed true.

The Spiritual Boat Association set up spirit boat ports everywhere for people to use the boats.

And spirit boats are graded. The higher the grade of the boat, the more expensive it naturally is.

In the entire Azure Mountain Range, there were no more than three High-Grade Spirit Boats, and this was the only one here, usually only accessible to those of the three great forces.

This was also a symbol of status.

Ordinary forces might have enough Spirit Stones to offer, but would still lack the privilege to board.

Therefore, after hearing the words of Zhu Xiaofei, the disciples of the three great forces all burst into laughter.

Even the Sect Masters of the three great forces shook their heads with a wry smile.

Although Emperor Immortal Sect seemed on the surface to be growing into the fourth great force of Azure Mountain Range, in some respects, they still couldn’t compare with them.

Even in the knowledge of their disciples, they were not on the same level.

"It’s just a Spirit Boat, and yet you speak of it as if it were some rare treasure," Ye Xuan said with a slight chuckle, unoffended.

"A High-Grade Spirit Boat certainly can’t compare to the Divine Chariot you mentioned, pulled by a True Dragon and Divine Phoenix. But we prefer practicality over empty words," said the Saint Heir of Spirit Void dispassionately.

The insinuation of his words was nothing but a sarcastic jab at Ye Xuan, suggesting that he was only there because of them and should stop bragging about riding on an Ancient Divine Chariot pulled by a True Dragon and Divine Phoenix.

"Some people probably can only boast a bit," the Xuanmo Saint Heir sneered.

Ye Xuan shook his head slowly, and said with a light sigh, "What if I told you that I had booked this High Grade Spirit Boat in advance, would you believe me?"

The entire High Grade Spirit Boat fell silent.

Then there was a burst of laughter.

Some even laughed so hard that they couldn’t straighten their waists.

It wasn’t just them.

The Sect Masters of the Three Great Powers couldn’t help but crack a smile, thinking to themselves.

Ye Xuan was really thick-skinned, wasn’t he? The Spirit Boat was clearly booked by their Three Great Powers, yet Ye Xuan claimed he had booked it?

If it really was him, why hadn’t he paid a single Spirit Stone?

Mu Baicheng also silently facepalmed, having long heard of Ye Xuan’s arrogant and domineering personality, and now it seemed to be true.

Booking the High Grade Spirit Boat, he hadn’t even heard of it, so how had Ye Xuan booked it?

"You could book a High Grade Spirit Boat?" The Saint Lady of Smoke Mist Mountain chuckled, lightly covering her mouth as she spoke with a smile, "The friend from Emperor Immortal Sect really knows how to joke."

"What a joke. I was present when the Spirit Stones were paid, when did I see someone from your Emperor Immortal Sect?" The Saint Heir of Xuanmo Cave outright exposed the lie.

"Ridiculous," the Saint Heir of Spirit Valley continued to shake his head in disbelief.

Ye Xuan didn’t seem to care about anything when he bragged.

This High Grade Spirit Boat had clearly been booked jointly by their Three Great Powers, and the Saint Heir of Xuanmo Cave was present when they paid with Spirit Stones.

But not a single person from the Emperor Immortal Sect showed up.

With what did he book?

With his mouth?

What a joke.

"Is that so?" Ye Xuan smiled indifferently.

He hadn’t planned to bother with it, but since these fellows liked to jump around so much, he didn’t mind slapping their faces.

"Where is the person in charge of the Spiritual Boat Association?"

Ye Xuan asked lightly.

"Where is the person in charge of the Spiritual Boat Association? Are you not convinced until you see the coffin, stubborn till the end?" The Saint Heir of Xuanmo Cave seemed to be getting excited, laughing as he spoke, "Go call Brother Wang over, and confront him face to face; let’s see if he still has the nerve to boast."

Shortly after, a disciple from Xuanmo Cave invited a man in his thirties dressed in splendid garments over.

"Brother Wang has met all the daoist friends here, may I ask what’s the matter?" The newcomer was precisely the Brother Wang mentioned by the Saint Heir of Xuanmo Cave, who was the steward of the Spiritual Boat Association.

"Brother Wang, the friend Ye Xuan from Emperor Immortal Sect has said that he had booked this High Grade Spirit Boat, is that true?" The Saint Heir of Xuanmo Cave pointed at Ye Xuan and asked the steward Wang.

Upon hearing this, Steward Wang couldn’t help looking towards Ye Xuan, sized him up, then bowed his head and said, "When the Spirit Stones were handed over that day, I did not see anyone from the Emperor Immortal Sect present."

"Hahahahaha——"

Hearing this, the people from the Three Great Powers on the deck all laughed.

And the faces of those from Emperor Immortal Sect grew increasingly ugly.

Even they began to feel their First Senior Brother was bluffing...

"Now, what else do you have to say?" The Saint Heir of Xuanmo Cave squinted at Ye Xuan, sneering.

Ye Xuan’s eyebrows raised slightly; although he did not care about the matter, he had indeed sent Lu Chengde to book this High Grade Spirit Boat, the Spiritual Boat Association had also received them, and when they knew it was Ye Xuan who booked it, they immediately agreed.

With that in mind, Ye Xuan looked towards Steward Wang and said faintly, "You’re not the highest in charge of the Spiritual Boat Association, are you?"

Steward Wang bowed and said, "Naturally, I am not, the highest in charge of this branch is Elder He."

"Then call him over," Ye Xuan said flatly.

Steward Wang also found it somewhat difficult and said, "Elder He generally does not handle these matters."

"Hey, you really don’t know when to quit..." The Saint Heir of Xuanmo Cave unabashedly mocked, "Elder He is a significant person sent here by the main association of the Spiritual Boat Association, do you think he would meet with you?"

Now everyone showed a mocking expression.

This Ye Xuan, known for being formidable in rumors, why was he acting like a fool?

It was truly puzzling.

But on second thought, it made sense.

Wasn’t Ye Xuan initially known as the ’foolish son-in-law’?

At this point, even the Sect Masters of the Three Great Powers found it hard to watch and felt it was becoming excessive; they were about to speak out.

But just then,

A black-robed elder suddenly appeared on the deck of the Spirit Boat, with a hint of urgency in his expression, looking around through the crowd.

When his gaze landed on Ye Xuan, his body trembled instantly, he rushed over to Ye Xuan, and bowed at ninety degrees, expressing with both panic and fear, "Young Master Ye gracing us with your presence, this lowly one has come late to welcome you, I deserve death!"

"Huh?!"

The Sect Masters of the Three Great Powers were taken aback.

Wasn’t that Elder He?!
