Chapter 149 Distinguished Guest
Yu Ze looked down at her. He didn't care what these cultivators thought; their attitudes were irrelevant to him.
Apart from Yun Fuzhao.
He understood what Yun Fuzhao meant, so he went along with her and said, "You're injured."
Yun Fuzhao shrugged. "See? What did I tell you? The Demon Realm clearly wants to befriend us, yet you frame them like this. You're not simple."
Yu Nian'er: "..."
How can someone distort the truth like this?
“Yun Fuzhao, we both know that the Demon Realm is only on good terms with your Boundless Sword Sect. In essence, they still pose a threat to the cultivation world.”
Wen Yan's words were unanimously echoed by the other cultivators.
Yun Fuzhao glanced at them and saw that most of those who echoed their sentiments were those who were competitors with their sect, while the silent ones were the neutrals.
“Since you’re so worried,” Yun Fuzhao thoughtfully suggested, “why don’t you have your master or another senior supervise the whole process?”
Wen Yan fell silent.
Historically, only the Xuantian Sect has the authority to invite the sect leaders of other sects to their celebrations; most of the attendees at other sects' celebrations are their personal disciples.
If Bai Yan were to come, wouldn't that elevate the status of the Boundless Sword Sect?
Seeing his silence, Yun Fuzhao smiled and turned to Yu Ze, saying, "Come on, sit down."
Yun Fuzhao walked straight to the high seat, with the Demon Realm and Monster Realm seated to her right. There was also a seat on her left, which she had originally reserved for Gong Yuhe, but judging from the situation, he probably wouldn't be coming.
As soon as Yu Ze sat down, the person next to him would chuckle and say, "Not bad, your cultivation has improved quite a bit."
He looked over expressionlessly and saw Qi Huai playing with the golden goblet, smiling lazily.
Yu Ze coldly withdrew his gaze, too lazy to speak to him.
Gokui, who was standing to the side, took in their interaction and calmly said, "The Fox Lord's popularity is as bad as ever."
Qi Huai sat opposite him on either side, but he wasn't intimidated at all. He smiled and retorted, "Well, I can't help it, I don't want to be on good terms with everyone. However,"
Qi Huai pondered, "Seriously speaking, you two aren't as popular as I am in the cultivation world, are you?"
"..."
What he said makes perfect sense. In the cultivation world, neither Yu Ze nor Ge Kui wouldn't be someone everyone would want to kill.
On the other side, Yu Nian'er and Wen Yan felt extremely aggrieved, especially Wen Yan, who had just lost face after being rebuked by Yun Fuzhao.
I already had some reservations about her, and after that incident, I've come to loathe her.
All he could hear were the voices of disciples talking, saying that the Xuantian Sect had been completely outclassed by the Wuya Sword Sect this time.
Seeing this, the disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sect knew it was a good opportunity to flatter them, and immediately spoke up: "Although the Boundless Sword Sect has invited the Demon Realm and the Demon World, both of these realms are enemies of our cultivation world. It's one thing for the Boundless Sword Sect to be associated with them, but instead of being ashamed, they're making a big fuss about it. And they even talk about crushing the Profound Heaven Sect, it's truly laughable."
These words were echoed by several other sects.
"So, this Eclipse Sun is notorious for hating cultivators, yet Yun Fuzhao still dares to cooperate with him. Isn't he afraid of being attacked from behind?"
"The Boundless Sword Sect will stop at nothing to surpass the Profound Heaven Sect."
"What kind of good sect can a sect leader with such a bad reputation lead? Making such a big show of it is just to show off their cooperation with the Demon Realm and the Monster Realm. If they are so powerful, why are there no people from the Rebirth Hall here?"
"Hahaha, don't be ridiculous. What level is the Hall of Rebirth compared to the Boundless Sword Sect? Don't bring shame to the Hall of Rebirth."
Yun Fuzhao glanced at the group of people who were talking, and when they met her gaze, they silently shut up again.
They're just a bunch of sour grapes. If Yu Ze and his group were willing to cooperate with their sect, they'd be fawning over them to an extreme degree.
She didn't bother with it and was just about to announce the start of the celebration when the door was slowly pushed open.
The noisy hall quieted down, and everyone looked towards the door.
Several people dressed in retro white Taoist robes walked in. They had a solemn demeanor and otherworldly appearances, resembling immortals.
The person in the lead sat in a wheelchair, his black hair tied back with a plain-colored headband, revealing a cold and indifferent face.
The group exchanged bewildered glances. "Which sect is this? We've never seen their sect emblems before."
"I don't know, but it seems to have some history, so what's going on?"
Most of the people present did not recognize him, except for the Xuan Tian Sect members who were dumbfounded.
Their sect's Elder Chang Shen is from the Hall of Rebirth, and he is incredibly powerful. Many disciples hold him in high esteem and admiration.
That's the Hall of Rebirth, even the number one sect like Xuantian Sect has to bow down before it.
Chang Shen was also proud of his origins, and would often mention his past life in the Hall of Rebirth when teaching his disciples the techniques.
They were also shown a drawing of the emblem of the Hall of Rebirth.
Many disciples learned about the emblem of the Hall of Rebirth from him.
Yu Nian'er knew better than anyone that her master was from the Hall of Rebirth, and she was his only disciple. This identity alone earned her the envy of countless people.
She stared intently at those people, her fingernails digging into her palms, forming several white crescent-shaped marks.
Kong Hao pushed Gong Yuhe to the center of the main hall. He looked at Yun Fuzhao and said, "The Hall of Rebirth has come to congratulate the Wuya Sword Sect on its centennial celebration."
He raised his hand, and a disciple came up with a tray. Gong Yuhe said, "This is a congratulatory gift from the Hall of Rebirth—a ninth-grade jade bone fan."
These two simple sentences left everyone speechless.
The vast hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
It took the disciples quite a while to find their voices.
"Family members, let me tell you a joke. The Hall of Rebirth came to attend the Boundless Sword Sect's celebration, hahaha... boohoo."
"What the hell???"
"I dare not open my eyes, hoping it's just my imagination."
Some disciples retorted, "If they say they're from the Hall of Rebirth, then they're from the Hall of Rebirth? Then I could say I'm of the true dragon bloodline!"
Jiaoyu, who was perched on the shoulder of the cloud, raised her head, glanced at the disciple, and then looked away with considerable disdain.
Yu Nian'er couldn't help but speak up, "Does everyone know what the consequences are for impersonating the Hall of Rebirth?"
Then she turned to Yun Fuzhao and said, "Yun Fuzhao, in order to surpass our sect, you've resorted to such despicable means?"
Gong Yuhe said calmly, "I don't need to prove anything to you; you're not qualified."
"..."
The Xuantian Sect disciples' rebellious spirit flared up immediately. "What are you so arrogant about? If you're a fake, then you're a fake. Why do you have to make it sound so high and mighty?"
"Exactly, exactly. I think he's just feeling guilty. Besides, the Hall of Rebirth is full of outstanding people; there's no one in a wheelchair here."
Kong Hao couldn't bear to see his holy son being humiliated like this, and immediately wanted to teach this outspoken cultivator a lesson.
But Gong Yuhe raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Today is her sect's celebration, don't cause trouble."
Yun Fuzhao stood up. "If you disrespect my distinguished guest again, I'll slap you."
