Chapter 165 - Taotie Feast

The next day, at the entrance of the Stellar Martial Gate, Xia Xuan and many other higher ups of the Stellar Martial Gate were gathered, and in front of them was Suo Balang. Today, Suo Balang was going back to the Cold City.

Miao Linger pulled Suo Balang, her face filled with reluctance.

After Suo Balang said something to Miao Linger, he turned to Xia Xuan and said: "Brat, I still have to say, protect Ling'er well. If anything happens to her, I'll ask for you."

"Eighth father, I'm still a third-grade Xuanzun after all. I still have the ability to protect myself, right?" Miao Linger heard Suo Balang and immediately said, his voice tinged with a little bitterness.

"Senior, don't worry. Even if I have to risk my life, I will not let Miss Ling'er suffer even the slightest bit of injury." Xia Xuan looked at Suo Balang and Suo Balang, and could not help but laugh.

"I can barely imagine your Deicide doing it once." After saying his goodbyes to the others, Suo Balang started to think about walking off into the distance. The blade-wielding back looked a little old in the wind, but at the same time, it gave people a feeling of unparalleled heroism.

Watching Suo Balang leave, Xia Xuan could not help but sigh deeply in his heart. A single Suo Balang was already this powerful, who knew what the seven from Suo Jia were like.

"Disperse." Suo Balang finally disappeared from their field of vision and let them scatter.

"Yes." The various upper echelons acknowledged this and dispersed.

After a while, only Xia Xuan, Xia Muning, Yan Shuang and Miao Linger remained.

"This was delivered by the North Emperor's Gate not too long ago." Xia Muning passed a letter to Xia Xuan, and one could see a hint of seriousness in her eyes.

When Xia Xuan received the letter, the brow could not help but frown. The Northern Emperor Sect was a first-rate sect, and its sect's strength was even above the Hundred Beasts Sect.

Opening the envelope, he saw a white piece of paper with the words:

My esteemed Sect Leader, my Northern Emperor Sect will be hosting a feast of Taotie in seven days. I hope little friend will give the Northern Emperor Hall some face and come gather at this feast of Taotie.

Seeing the vigorous and powerful words on the letter, Xia Xuan's brow immediately relaxed, and replacing it was a smile.

The feast of Taotie was a special gathering that was initiated by a strong sect. The more sects that participated, the stronger their sect became.

During the feast, people would have a Taotie feast, but what they ate was not food, but something that everyone wanted. At the same time, during the feast, the various sects could communicate with each other, and by doing so, deepen the relationship between the sects, it could be said to be an opportunity to form alliances.

"Interesting." Xia Xuan rubbed his chin, and the corner of his mouth raised up. He had just taken over the Stellar Martial Gate, the feast of the Taotie was a very good opportunity for him.

"Prepare yourself. In seven days, we'll go to the Northern Imperial Clan." Xia Xuan said to Yan Shuang and Miao Linger.

"Why are we going there?" Miao Linger did not see what was written on the letter, and immediately asked.

"Participate in Taotie Feast." Xia Xuan smiled, his gaze looking towards the distant north, a hint of ambition in his eyes. This Taotie feast would be his first step in developing his Stellar Martial Gate.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Xia Xuan, Yan Shuang and Miao Linger woke up early.

"Let's go." Xia Xuan slightly smiled, then activated his spiritual energy and flew towards the north.

In a room in Stellar Martial Gate, Xia Muning stood by the window and watched Xia Xuan leave. She could not help but say in a pleased tone, "You've really grown up."

There was a city in the Northern Wasteland called the Northern Imperial City. This city didn't have any random sects. The entire city was under the control of the Northern Imperial Clan.

Today, the Northern Imperial City's city gates would be guarded by anyone tomorrow. A red carpet extended from the city gates all the way to the main hall within the city. There were many welcoming parties at the city gate.

The sun had just risen from the horizon and a figure had already appeared at the edge of the horizon. Even though those people were still extremely far away from the Northern Imperial City, a powerful aura and pressure had already arrived.

Very quickly, a scene of prosperity appeared in the Northern Imperial City. People gradually arrived and warmly welcomed these people, especially the Sect Leader s of some large sects. They were personally welcomed by the upper echelons of the Northern Imperial Clan.

"Hundred Beasts Sect and Sect Leader have arrived." A shout came out, then a powerful Qi appeared, three figures slowly appeared in the horizon, these three people were familiar faces, it was Wei Lingyun, Dong Jian and Yan San.

"The presence of the Sect Leader brings light to our humble dwelling." Just as Wei Lingyun landed, a white-haired Old Man hurriedly welcomed them and smiled at the three of them.

"How have you been, Elder Liu?" Wei Lingyun had a smile on his face, facing Old Man, Wei Lingyun did not dare to disrespect him, because the Northern Emperor Sect was a true first-rate sect, while the Hundred Beasts Sect was only barely a first-rate sect.

The Sect Leader of the Northern Emperor's Gate was named Han Shuanglong and was the owner of the first chair. This Old Man was the owner of the second chair, the Great Elder of the Northern Emperor's Gate, Liu Ying.

"It's pretty lively here." Wei Lingyun and Liu Ying wanted to chat happily, but when they heard the laughter, countless of gazes turned towards the sky.

Three figures slowly flew over. The leader was a black-haired man. The man was slightly thin, but he had a heroic air around him. Beside the man were two women. Their appearances attracted the majority of the gazes, especially the golden-haired Flaming Frost, which made countless people dumbfounded.

When he saw Xia Xuan and the other two, Wei Lingyun couldn't help but lower his head. Back when Xia Xuan was facing Wu Chang alone in dried bone forest and he didn't even try to help, he inevitably felt a little ashamed to see Xia Xuan again today.

"I assume this is the Stellar Martial Gate's little brother, Xia Xuan." Liu Ying and Xia Xuan did not know each other, but Xia Xuan's deeds in the dried bone forest were like thunder to their ears.

"I am indeed. Senior should be Senior Liu Ying, right?" Xia Xuan had heard of Liu Ying's name before. It was said that Liu Ying had once fought against five first stage Xuanzun alone and did not lose, and that battle became the name of the Bone Withering Hand. Furthermore, that was several years ago, so no one knew how strong Liu Ying was now.

"I am truly honored to be acknowledged by you, my young friend." Liu Ying's aged binocular smiled until it was like two slits, and made a path to the side, saying, "Little friend, why not go in and have a chat with Sect Leader, Sect Leader has been waiting inside the sect for a long time."

Without putting on an act, Xia Xuan walked towards the city with big strides. When he arrived in front of Wei Lingyun, he saw Wei Lingyun with his head lowered.

"How's Sect Leader Wei?" Xia Xuan cupped his hands towards Xia Xuan and said, the smile on his face was actually a little strange.

"How have you been?" Wei Lingyun forced out a smile and said.

Xia Xuan nodded and headed directly into the city.

Everyone around him looked at Wei Lingyun and felt that it was unbelievable. All of their gazes were filled with surprise when looking at Xia Xuan, just who was this Xia Xuan, to actually make him reveal such an expression.
