Chapter 166 - Prestige

It had to be said that a first-rate sect was indeed powerful. This Northern Imperial City was much bigger than any other empire. Walking in it, one could only see the bustling crowds and densely packed buildings. If he did not control the spiritual energy to fly, he would not be able to reach the banquet location even if he walked for a day.

To be able to take such a huge city as his own territory, it was sufficient to prove the strength of the Northern Imperial Clan.

Circulating the spiritual energy, Xia Xuan and the other two arrived at the center of the city very quickly. What appeared in front of them was a northern imperial gate surrounded by a wall, the size of the northern imperial gate was so large that it was practically incomparable to a few imperial cities.

"Sect Leader Xia, please come in." One of the servants ran over to Xia Xuan and respectfully said to him.

Xia Xuan nodded and headed straight into the sect.

After walking for around half an hour within the sect, Xia Xuan and the other two arrived at the front of a large hall. The door to the large hall was opened wide, and many people could be seen within the hall.

Walking into the hall, countless of gazes turned to look at Xia Xuan and the other two, and when they sensed the strength of Xia Xuan's Sixth grade Profound King, they all frowned, how could such a person be invited.

Although on the surface, Xia Xuan's strength was only that of the Sixth grade Profound King and no one could see Yan Shuang's cultivation, Miao Linger's aura had actually reached the realm of Fourth rank Xuan Lord. However, these three people were led by Xia Xuan, which confused everyone the most.

"Guanzhu Jiu, on the River Continent. A beautiful lady is someone that a noble should be able to get his hands on. " A clear voice rang out, and a white-robed man walked over from the crowd. The man held a folding fan, looking very elegant and graceful, with an extremely gentle voice, "I wonder if young lady would like to share a cup with me?"

The man held two glasses of wine that looked like snow. The cup was made from extremely cold jade and the wine was the famous Pearl of God. Being able to drink this wine meant that the man was definitely not weak.

"Isn't that the Evil Wind Hand Bin Peng from the Evil Wind Sect?" Someone within the group of people recognized white-robed man and immediately whispered to the people beside him.

"Bin Peng..." When Xia Xuan looked at Bin Peng, the brow couldn't help but frown.

"Not interested." Yan Shuang said coldly, her head turned to the side and not looking at Bin Peng.

The surrounding people were immediately shocked when they heard what Yan Shuang said. The Yin Wind Sect was about to enter the ranks of the first grade sects, and the Yin Wind Sect relied on Bin Peng. The current Bin Peng was a powerhouse at the peak of the Fourth rank Xuan Lord, there were no more than ten people present who dared to reject him.

Although he could not see how strong Yan Shuang was, he did not think that she had surpassed him in terms of strength. After all, Yan Shuang looked to be even younger than Xia Xuan, and he believed that Yan Shuang was just an ordinary person without any Qi training.

Even an ordinary person dared to reject him, this made Bin Peng's heart burn with fury.

Bin Peng's gaze turned towards Xia Xuan. An ordinary person dared to reject his, so the person who gave her courage could be said to be their leader. It was obvious that Xia Xuan was the leader of the trio.

The spiritual energy in Bin Peng's hands surged, and the cup instantly turned into dust, and even the red wine was evaporated.

With a free hand, he extended it towards Xia Xuan. Bin Peng said: "I am Bin Peng, I wonder what your name is?"

Xia Xuan looked at Bin Peng's palm that was reaching towards him. Other people might not know about it, but he could see that there was a hidden force in Bin Peng's palm.

There was no lack of experts present, and when they felt the hidden strength in Bin Peng's palm, their faces revealed a playful smile, with's strength, he should have instantly shattered the bones in his hands.

Xia Xuan reached out his hand and grabbed Bin Peng, at the same time, a wave of hidden force surged out, coincidentally clashing with Bin Peng's hidden force.

What shocked Bin Peng the most was that he did not have the upper hand after his hidden strength clashed with Xia Xuan's hidden strength. Instead, when his hidden strength clashed with Xia Xuan's hidden strength, it caused his palm to hurt.

His hand was in pain, Bin Peng could not help but clench his teeth, but due to face, he did not make a sound.

Just then, Wei Lingyun and the other two slowly walked into the hall. After seeing Wei Lingyun, many people surrounded them, and congratulatory words sounded out.

Everyone's attention was attracted to Wei Lingyun, so Bin Peng quickly broke free from Xia Xuan's grasp, covering his aching hand with his hands as tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

Wei Lingyun completely ignored the people who came to greet him, and directly went to stand in front of Xia Xuan, and apologetically said: "Little friend Xia Xuan, that day in dried bone forest, I did not intend to not help."

When the surrounding people heard Xia Xuan's words, shock immediately surged onto their faces. Everyone looked at Xia Xuan and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

It was difficult for a fifth stage Xuanzun expert to defeat a fourth stage pinnacle Wu Chang, yet, Xia Xuan had beheaded him in a few rounds. This kind of strength, should not even be comparable to the first stage sect's Sect Leader s.

He felt that his strength was still far off from Wu Chang's. If Xia Xuan could kill Wu Chang, then killing him would be as easy as flipping his palm.

Xia Xuan did not look at Bin Peng, but smiled, and said to Wei Lingyun: "What are you saying, Sect Leader Wei, when I was in dried bone forest, able to trust you, I am already deeply grateful, why would I complain about you, Sect Leader Wei?"

Back then, when Wei Lingyun chose to believe in Xia Xuan and left the center zone, it was already a favor for him. In that case, there were a few people who would be willing to believe that kind of nonsense and leave their positions which they had gotten with great difficulty.

Hearing the sincerity in Xia Xuan's words, Wei Lingyun heaved a sigh of relief. It was not a good thing to offend an expert like Xia Xuan in this Hundred Desolate Lands.

"Sect Leader Han is here." Suddenly, someone from the crowd shouted and the entire hall erupted with noise. Everyone looked towards the innermost part of the hall.

In the innermost corner of the great hall, there was a chair, around which there was no one else, because everyone knew that this chair had its master. It was the main character of this banquet, the Northern Imperial Palace's Sect Leader, Han Shuanglong.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, a figure slowly appeared. The figure was dressed in a black cloak and wore a dragon pattern black robe, and its tall and straight hair seemed to be filled with energy, making it impossible to sense any of the spiritual energy's fluctuations among 90% of the people present. However, this did not mean that he was an ordinary person, because everyone knew that this man who looked to be a little over 40 years old was actually a expert at the peak of the fifth stage of Xuanzun.

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Han Shuanglong, Xia Xuan's gaze turned towards the few empty seats in the hall that were near to Han Shuanglong. None of those empty seats dared to sit, because those seats were reserved for people of the same level as Han Shuanglong.

Just as Xia Xuan was watching those empty seats, a figure appeared in each of the seats. Those figures came silently, and even though they were all not far from Han Shuanglong, not many people in the arena noticed them, and even if they did, no one dared to make a sound.
