asked. Previously, he heard that Sect Leader Liang Yuqiong would hold a funeral tomorrow. This was going to drag on for too long.
Xue Xi curled up into Han Chen's embrace like a little kitten, closed her eyes lightly, her long eyelashes slightly moved as she replied softly, "Master is waiting for someone."
"Alone? "Could it be?"
"Yes, he is the previous Sect Leader of amnesia peak, Wen Lei. She had said before that he would wait for Wen Lei for three months. If Wen Lei still did not come after three months, then he would not wait any longer. Tomorrow is the last day, and Master's funeral will be held tomorrow. "
"So that's how it is."
Han Chen secretly shook his head. For the Wanxiong Prefecture that was thousands of kilometers away, it was hard to say if they wouldn't be able to rush to the Seven Profound Peaks from there within three months.
The grudge and hatred from twenty odd years ago had always been buried within Liang Yuqiong's heart. Even at the moment of her death, it was difficult for him to let it go.
A magnificent middle-aged man's figure emerged within Han Chen's mind.
"Xue Xi, when I was in the Chaotic Demon Sea, I saw a person. I think it's possible …"
Before he even finished speaking, Han Chen was already stunned. He discovered that Xue Xi had unknowingly fallen asleep in her embrace, her quiet and gentle appearance, was just like a cute little kitten. On those long eyelashes, there was even a little bit of mist. The sound of her breathing was gentle like orchids, causing people to feel tender towards her.
Han Chen found it funny, looks like Xue Xi was really tired.
"What a silly girl." Han Chen murmured to himself softly.
There was still one more day to Liang Yuqiong's funeral, and Seven Profound Peaks was busy from top to bottom.
Han Chen stayed in the cold snow peak and did not leave. Even if he left, Han Chen had nowhere to go. When he left a few months ago, the Jadeite Immortal Peak was already destroyed.
The sun set in the west, and the fiery red sunset rain made the Seven Profound Peaks golden. It was extremely beautiful.
A day passed by quickly, and it was already dusk of the second day. The sky outside was still hazy, and even the stars had yet to disappear.
When Xue Xi woke up from her sleep, she found herself lying on the bed in her room. A slightly drunk candle flame was flickering on the candlestick, while on the table, Han Chen was reading a scroll attentively.
Xue Xi did not speak, her beautiful eyes gently staring at Han Chen under the candlelight.
Yet, this man had protected her for an entire day and night. Perhaps it was due to his existence. This time, Xue Xi slept soundly, and was especially satisfied.
"This Sword Sovereign Technique is truly vast and profound, with endless changes. "I'm afraid my swordsmanship, in front of that senior, can only be considered child's play," Han Chen's voice was like a mosquito, his brows were filled with amazement.
Han Chen who was immersed in studying the 'Sword Lord Method', did not realize that Xue Xi had awoken at all. Xue Xi only had a smile in his eyes as he looked at his.
Perhaps to Xue Xi, this was just a small satisfaction.
Before he knew it, the wax torches had already dried up, and the morning light shone through the window, shining in from outside.
Han Chen could not help but yawn, and rub his somewhat dry eyes. He subconsciously turned his head to head towards Xue Xi. Originally, he thought that Xue Xi was still in deep sleep, but he didn't expect that the two's eyes would actually meet each other's.
"You're awake?" Han Chen said in surprise.
"En!" Xue Xi nodded and sat up, her cheeks flushed red, her eyes like autumn water, lovely and moving.
It was only then that Han Chen realized that being in the same room as the other party was a little uncomfortable, "Um, are you up? "Then I'll wait for you outside."
"Alright." Xue Xi replied softly.
Han Chen waited outside for around half an hour, but Xue Xi still did not come out from her room.
Just as he was about to ask, the door creaked open. Xue Xi walked out from the house. He was dressed in a gorgeous and expensive robe with gold stripes and a noble aura.
Xue Xi's long hair was tied together with a phoenix crown and there was a faint red makeup on her face, making her already delicate face seem even more cold and elegant.
"You?" Han Chen could not help but look a little dazed, and he immediately felt that he was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Today is Master's funeral, I want to put on something more formal." Xue Xi said softly, her beautiful eyes raised, and then she asked, "Do I look good?"
"En!" Han Chen only nodded.
Xue Xi smiled slightly, then her eyebrows started to darken, "Let's go!"
amnesia peak.
Before the sky brightened, the amnesia peak was already enveloped in a noisy hubbub. The atmosphere was quite lively, but there was also a hint of sadness mixed in with the liveliness.
Since yesterday, Seven Profound Peaks had been busy from top to bottom. And today, he was even busier.
The funeral of the Seven Profound Peaks's Sect Leader was undoubtedly going to be especially grand.
In the morning, ceremonial cannons rang and countless people gathered in the entire amnesia peak.
In the largest central plaza of amnesia peak, the disciples of Seven Profound Peaks stood at the sides of the plaza according to their levels. The clamorous sounds of the crowd rose and spread without end.
At the center of the plaza, a new stone platform was built. The height of the stone platform was less than two meters and a green coffin was placed on top of it. Multicolored flowers surrounded the coffin, decorating it like a beautiful garden.
"Bang bang!"
Over a hundred cannon shots were fired on the square one after another. The petals of the arrows fluttered in the air like falling petals, mixed with dust, as they fell.
Yang Dingjie, Han Xiang, Jing Hua, Lin Shaoqi, Pei Xuyang, Song Zhe, and the other core disciples had all been gathered here since a long time ago.
Pei Xuyang's face was covered with a green glow, his expression was gloomy and stern. It was likely that he was still brooding over what happened yesterday.
Behind the six core disciples were Zhan Fei, Du Yu, Lin Ya and a group of Inner Sect Disciples s. On this rather special day, everyone's faces were more or less cloudy.
On the other side of the crowd, Wang Zhaoyi, Wu Ling and the rest were looking around, as if they were searching for something.
"Why haven't we seen Han Chen coming over yet?" The one who spoke was Jiang Lingchuan.
"I don't know!" He should be going to look for Big Sister Xue Xi right? " Wang Zhaoyi replied.
"He's not coming anymore?" There it is. " With his sharp eyes, Wu Ling immediately saw two familiar figures walking out from the crowd. It was Han Chen and Xue Xi.
When Han Chen and Xue Xi appeared at the same time, the plaza couldn't help but burst into soft, chaotic sobs.
"Look, Senior Sister Xue Xi is here."
"Ever since Sect Master Liang Yuqiong took action, I haven't seen her again!"
"Wah!" Senior Sister Xue Xi is so beautiful today. "
"Shut up! Is this the time to say something like that? Whatever you do today, you must behave yourself. "
Many people made way for Han Chen and Xue Xi. News of what happened yesterday in amnesia peak had long ago spread. Han Chen, who had disappeared for a few months, suddenly returned in a strong state, and the news of him almost fighting with the core disciple of Xing Yan Feng, Pei Xuyang, was basically known to everyone in Seven Profound Peaks.
"Sigh, did Han Chen really break through the Seventh level of the Heavenly Completion Stage?"
"How could that be false? I was there yesterday, and witnessed the fight between him and brother Pei with my own eyes."
"That's right, even Senior Brother Pei Luoyang was killed by Han Chen. Yesterday, when Pei Luoyang's head fell out, I was so scared that my scalp went numb. "
"Han Chen is really ruthless, I'm afraid that he and Senior Brother Pei Xuyang might have broken off all decorum, and in the future, he will not be able to live a good life."
The people on the plaza were discussing among themselves, causing Han Chen to turn a deaf ear to them, and walked towards the stone platform in the center with Xue Xi.
When he was not twenty meters away from the stone platform, Xue Xi stopped in her tracks, looking at the coffin that was in the center of the beautiful garden, Xue Xi's beautiful eyes started to mist uncontrollably.
"Don't be too sad." Han Chen gave her an encouraging look.
Xue Xi pursed her red lips and forced out a smile.
At the same time, Yang Dingjie, who was in the group of core disciples, walked towards the two of them. Yang Dingjie didn't even give Han Chen a second look; his gaze merely stopped at Xue Xi. Xue Xi, are you alright? "
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Apprentice Brother. I'm fine." Xue Xi replied indifferently.
Without waiting for Yang Dingjie to say more, Xue Xi turned around and said to Han Chen, "Your friend is over there! Let's go over! "
Han Chen had long since noticed Wang Zhaoyi, Wu Ling and the others. Then, he nodded slightly towards Yang Dingjie in a polite manner. Then, and the other two left the place under the astonished and envious gazes of the crowd.
It was not a secret in the Seven Profound Peaks that Yang Dingjie had fallen for Xue Xi. However, Xue Xi had never accepted Yang Dingjie's kind intentions. Now that they were in such a situation, the busybodies could not help but start talking again.
Yang Dingjie's expression became much colder, and his brows knitted together slightly. But compared to Pei Xuyang, it was much better.
Pei Xuyang did not conceal the killing intent in his heart at all as a cold light flashed in his ice-cold pupils.
But Han Chen completely ignored Pei Xuyang's sword-like gaze, and did not even spare him an extra glance. Accompanied by Xue Xi, they walked to the side of Wang Zhaoyi, Wu Ling and the others.
"Big Sister Xue Xi, you are so beautiful today." Wang Zhaoyi could not help but exclaim.
"Hm!" You're not bad, too. You're getting more and more adorable. " Xue Xi smiled slightly.
Towards Xue Xi's tone of voice and the smile on her face, Wang Zhaoyi had a feeling that she hadn't seen her for a long time.
"Bang bang!"
Without waiting for them to say a few more words, another earth-shattering explosion erupted in the air.
"Elders are here!"
Along with a high-pitched voice, dozens of sharp figures walked over from one of the sides of the amnesia peak. And the leading elder, was shockingly the Great Elder of the sect, Ji Kai.
The Meng Yi, Chen Tao, Zi Sha and a few other elders that Han Chen knew were among them.
Because the occasions were different, these Elders had all abandoned their grand and dignified manner. Instead, he walked over on foot to express his respect for Sect Master Liang Yuqiong.
"The Great Elder has arrived. There are also the Second and Third Elders!"
"That's right!" It is only when such a big event is happening that all these elders will be gathered here. "
"In a while, the six headmasters will also appear."
The mood of the elders was much heavier than that of ordinary disciples. They clearly understood what losing a sect master meant to the Seven Profound Peaks.
"We pay our respects to the elders."
All the Seven Profound Peaks disciples in the plaza bowed respectfully, their tones filled with respect.
"Forget it, there's no need to be so formal today." The one who had spoken was a black-robed old man standing behind Great Elder Ji Kai. The old man's body was slightly skinny, and his sharp eyes were like two bolts of lightning.
"Yes, Second Elder."
Second Elder?
Han Chen was slightly surprised. This was the first time he had seen so many elders in the sect, and he was more or less curious and surprised.
"You don't know him, do you?" Wang Zhaoyi said with a teasing tone.
"Indeed not."
"Sigh, to think that you were even raising a horse for Big Sister Xue Xi! I'm afraid that even those clan elders who the unicorns know are better off than you. "
"That might not be true! I should be smarter than those unicorns. " Han Chen rubbed his nose, and smiled.
The conversation between the two had slightly diluted the sorrowful atmosphere. Xue Xi couldn't help but laugh as the haze around her dissipated by a few degrees.
Time passed minute by minute, second by second, a few guests arrived in succession from Seven Profound Peaks.
To be able to be invited by the Seven Profound Peaks to attend the Sect Leader's funeral, he must be one of the most prestigious sects in the Tian Luo Prefecture.
Great Clan Elder, Second Clan Elder, and several other elders as well as several core disciples and Inner Sect Disciples s were also helping to entertain the guests.
In the morning, amnesia peak had already gathered guests from all around. The ceremonial cannons rang out in unison. There was a sea of people, and it was very lively.
At the entrance of the mountain entrance, the attendant loudly announced the names of the guests who had come. After that, they were welcomed by the various elders, and then led to their respective positions by the disciples to wait.
"Yuanshi Sect Elder Chen Xi, with your disciples, has arrived!"
Beginner's Gate?
Han Chen was startled, wasn't this the sect that Ke Yinye and Ke Yinye came from?
Filled with curiosity, Han Chen swept his gaze to the front of the plaza, only to see a group of a dozen or so people walking towards the center under the orders of the Enforcer. The person in the lead was around forty years old or so, had an ordinary appearance, a calm demeanor, and profound strength cultivation.
"My name is Chen Xi. I pay my respects to Elder Ji Kai and all the other elders of the Seven Profound Peaks. I am here on the orders of Daoist Master Shang Qing, and I hope that I can send Sect Master Liang Yuqiong on her way. I also wish that the various elders and the six sect masters will be able to resolve this grievance. "
Chen Xi's attitude was extremely respectful, and his expression was rather sincere.
Great Elder Ji Kai cupped his hands together and nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Taoist Master Shang Ren. I am also grateful to Elder Chen Xi for coming from so far away."
"Elder Ji Kai is too serious, for something like this to happen in your sect, it is truly a pity."
After a few courteous greetings, Chen Xi's group from the Beginning Sect, led by the welcoming disciple, found a suitable place to stand.
The power of the Beginning Martial School in the Tian Luo Prefecture was considered to be in the upper middle rankings, slightly inferior to the seven major sects. In this kind of occasion, the people from the Beginning School also kept a low profile. They did not greet the people around them like the other guests.
Han Chen did not discover the figures of Ke Yinye and Du Bushu within the group of the starting gate. It was likely that they did not come to Seven Profound Peaks this time.
"Sword Sect Core Disciple Luo Wei has arrived with his disciples!"
"Core disciple of the Ziyang Palace, Meng Shaoran, under the command of her fellow disciples, has arrived!"
Following the two simultaneous announcements by the reception deacon, the crowd in the plaza started to create a clamor. Tens of thousands of gazes landed on the same spot in unison.
The two teams walked over side by side. The two teams had a dozen or so people each. The team on the left was dressed in uniform, with white clothes. On the chest area of their clothes, there was a sword-shaped pattern, impressively it was the symbol of the sword faction.
And the group of people on the right side, were all equally imposing, with an extraordinary aura, belonged to the Ziyang Palace's group.
"It's the sword faction's second ranked genius, Luo Chen."
"Meng Shaoran is the same. In Ziyang Palace, his strength is only second to one of the 'heaven's pride level ten', Zi Ling."
"I didn't expect them to come together."
Camel? Meng Shaoran?
Han Chen felt that it was a little strange, and confusion gushed out from his eyes.
"Both of them are amazing." Wang Zhaoyi, who was at the side, saw that Han Chen was not clear on anything, and explained, "Luo Wei Ang and Meng Shaoran are only second to the ten great heaven chosen ones."
Han Chen knew about the Ten Great Prides of Heaven. They were Jian Yifei from the Sword Sect, Yin Shangdong from the Heaven Array Sect, Sima Jingtao from the Puppet Faction, Lei Mingtian from the Five Poisons Gate, Zi Ling from the Ziyang Palace, Yang Dingjie from the Seven Profound Peaks, and Lin Pu from the Xuanyuan Sect.
The last three were the monstrous geniuses of the Heavenly Palace, and Ye Xiaoke didn't have time to tell them to Han Chen.
These ten people had countless brilliant halos gathered on their bodies. Below them, there were also countless outstanding geniuses.
Luo Ang and Meng Shaoran were the second of them. Their positions in the sword sect and Ziyang Palace were equivalent to Pei Xuyang, Han Xiang, Jing Hua and other core disciples of the Seven Profound Peaks.
"Junior Luo is very imposing. I pay my respects to the grand elder and the various elders."
"Junior Meng Shaoran greets the Grand Elder and the other Elders."
The two of them displayed their respect and courtesy as they bowed towards Great Elder Ji Kai. After all, he was only second to the top ten heaven's pride experts. No matter how one restrained his sharp aura, it would still be revealed.
"Sure enough, heroes come out young men. The sword faction and the Ziyang Palace have trained quite a few geniuses!" Ji Kai nodded his head in praise, and praised.
"Heh heh, Clan Elder Ji Kai is too kind." Luo Meng's eyelids twitched as her gaze swept towards Yang Dingjie, Han Xiang, Pei Xuyang and other core disciples who were not far away, "Compared to the few core disciples of your sect, our sect is not worth mentioning."
"That's right. Compared to the few senior brothers and sisters from Seven Profound Peaks, we're on a different level."
Although the tone of the two was rather humble, anyone could tell that what they said was really fake.
They exchanged a few simple sentences to express their pity. Under Pei Xuyang and Han Xiang's lead, the teams of the sword sect and Ziyang Palace entered the plaza.
"Senior Han Xiang, can I ask you something?" Luo Ang from the sword faction suddenly said.
"Oh?" Han Xiang's eyebrows rose as she asked in confusion, "What?"
"I heard that you sent out a shocking genius? In less than two months' time, you managed to comprehend the Heaven Ranked, top-grade Nine Netherworld Udumbara Finger and the Divine Ranked Martial Technique, Greater Five Elements Techniques? "
"There is indeed such a person." Han Xiang indifferently replied.
Ziyang Palace's Meng Shaoran opened her mouth and asked, "Where is he? We are very curious, can you introduce us? "Making friends or something."
"He's here!"
"Both of you." Without waiting for Han Xiang to finish speaking, Pei Xuyang's face had already become cold. He coldly said without any trace of politeness, "I hope the two of you will take note of today's occasion. If there's anything you want to say, we can discuss it after the Sect Leader's funeral. Is that possible?"
Hearing this, Luo Ang and Meng Shaoran were both stunned. He did not say anything and just smiled indifferently before walking into a suitable area.
Honestly speaking, Luo Ang and Meng Shaoran didn't mean that they wanted to be friends. It was just a test to see if he could find out what was going on.
There were many big and small forces in Tian Luo Prefecture that had ulterior motives. For example, when everyone came here to attend Sect Master Liang Yuqiong's funeral today, they looked like they were regretting it on the surface, but in reality, there might be countless people laughing behind their backs.
The and the sword faction belonged to one of the seven big sects of the Tian Luo Prefecture.
Once they appeared, there were naturally many people who curried favor with them. Meng Shaoran was used to being arrogant. He wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the way most people approached him.
"Sky Array Martial School's core disciple Lina, with the sect's seniors and juniors, has arrived!"
"Core Disciple Ren Qi, with the help of his fellow disciples, has arrived!"
Another two groups of first-rate powers had arrived at the same time. And they were even leading two famous genius disciples in the Tian Luo Prefecture.
"Lina from the Heaven Array Sect and Ren Qi from the Puppet Faction. Their powers are similar to a camel's and Meng Shaoran's. They are all extremely talented geniuses. " Wang Zhaoyi gave a general explanation for Han Chen.
Han Chen secretly nodded, his gaze turning serious. He was at most one to two years older than Xue Xi. Lina was attractive and beautiful. It could not be considered stunning, but it was the type that got more and more beautiful the more one looked at it.
Ren Qi of the Puppet Faction was nearly two meters tall, her skin was slightly black, and her facial features were wide and coarse, making him look like a boorish man. There was a thick cloth bag on his back, giving off a heavy feeling.
"Do you see that cloth bag? There are puppeteers inside. " Wang Zhaoyi said.
"I know that." Han Chen subconsciously replied.
"Oh!" "Fine!"
Under everyone's different gazes, the two teams led by Lina and Ren Qi walked in front of Ji Kai. They cupped their fists and bowed.
"Junior Lina greets Elder Ji Kai."
"Junior Ren Qi greets Elder Ji Kai."
It was just like the sword faction from before, which was a team from the Ziyang Palace. After a brief exchange of pleasantries. The welcoming disciple successively received the guests from the two great sects.
Just as many people were preparing to get close to the two great sect geniuses, the welcoming deacon's loud and clear voice rang out once more.
"Xuanyuan Sect Core Disciple Yuan Yuan, Ye Weini, Ye Xiaoke, I have brought my disciples here, junior and junior. We have arrived!"
What? Han Chen's heart could not help but be shocked, his face immediately revealed a great astonishment.
Ye Weini? Did I hear wrong?
