A hubbub came from a section of crowd when the second elder of the Lu clan was explaining the matter related to the Shen clan. Zhan Chen had already heard about the matters related to the Shen clan. So, he was not that surprised like the other members of the Lu clan.
"What is going on?", the Lu clan cultivators looked at the distant hills from where the noise was coming. The hubbub gradually spread to the nearby crowd and it didn't take time for them to notice what was going on.
"It is the sky dagger formation of the imperial army!", the cultivators talked among themselves and looked towards the sky in awe.
Gigantic sky eagles were soaring over the sky as they flew together in a dagger like pattern. There was a chariot behind them which was being pulled by two beautiful deers.
The deers were blue in colur and they had pair of branched horns over their heads. There was a metallic luster in their towering horns and Zhan Chen didn't take time to identify the rare magical beasts.
"Heaven worshipping Spirit deer! They are auspicious beasts who brings luck to their owner", he murmured to himself. He shifted his gaze towards the chariot with a curious look on his face.
The Sky dagger formation marched unhindered as the gigantic sky eagles flew towards a distant hill. They arranged themselves in an arrow like pattern after reaching the peak of the distant hill.
The crowd curiously looked towards their direction as they were looking forward to see the person from the imperial family. There was a formation around the chariot which made it impossible for anyone to see what the person inside look like.
Zhan Chen was slightly curious too but he wouldn't use his soul consciousness recklessly in a place like grand sect competition. He had to wait a while along with other onlookers of the crowd to see who was the person that came from the imperial family.
"Look, the barrier is fading", a cultivator called out to his companion and pointed towards the chariot from the imperial family. The unseeable barrier gradually became transparent and finally a person came out from the chariot.
'',
She was a great beauty with a slender body and charming eyes. Onlookers looked at her curiously when another beauty appeared from the chariot.
Two more beauties followed after her which took the number of the beauties to four. A surprised look appeared on Zhan Chen's face as he found someone familiar among the four beauties.
"What is she doing in the imperial family chariot?", he thought to himself and looked towards the charming beauty with whom he had spent an unforgettable night.
The name of the familiar beauty was Zhou Xiaoling. She was the beautiful manager of the Golden leaf pavilion with whom ha he'd met in the Yellow stone city.
"She is here. It means I may be able to see the person who is running all these Golden leaf pavilions", Zhan Chen thought to himself.
His speculation was correct as another beauty came out from the Chariot after a while. Awestruck looks appeared everywhere after seeing the beauty who had just appeared from the chariot.
Many cultivators felt like their soul was leaving as they looked at the heaven's art infront of them. The beauty who had just appeared was wearing a veil but it did nothing to hide her world shaking charm.
She threw a curious look towards the crowd and it was enough for the crowd to went crazy. Her every movement was special which made every men crazy and even the old cultivators were no exception.
"She is here, the second princess of the imperial family", Lu Tai Cang spoke and looked away from the beauty who had just appeared. "Nine lotus exquisite body! Moreover she is practicing a devilish charming technique", Zhan Chen thought to himself with a shocked look on his face.
"Zhan Chen, don't look at her for a longer period. Even the sword monarch from the Heavenly sword sect has lost his reason once after seeing her up close", Lu Tai Cang reminded.
"She is indeed fatal for any ordinary cultivator", Zhan Chen nodded his head and stayed silent. He tried his best to control his little brother and looked towards the second princess of the imperial Xie family.
I have only heard rumors but her beauty was even exaggerated than the rumors I have heard. 'Nine exquisite lotus body', a heavenly body which had no cultivation speciality like the other blessed bodies.
'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovelB(i)n. ᴄᴏᴍ',
It had only one function which enabled the bearer to have unrivalled charm of a heavenly maiden. Her every body part, every body movement was made for seduction. On top of that, she was practicing an extremely potent devilish charm technique. No ordinary cultivator at her cultivation level can't escape her charm, be it a man or woman.
Cultivators were drooling from their mouth when the people from the Spirit palace finally arrived. The onlookers forcefully distracted themselves and looked towards the people from the Spirit palace.
"Tai Cang, there must be a reason for the imperial family to send her. The current emperor dotes on two of his offsprings most. She is one of them. I don't think he will send her here unless it is a matter of great importance for the imperial family", the second elder of the Lu clan spoke while tousling his long beard. There was a pondering look on his face as he looked towards the location of the imperial army and the second princess.
"Second elder, have not you talked with grand elder after leaving your seclusion?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards the old man infront of him.
Second elder of the Lu clan shook his head as a questioning look appeared on his face. "Why do I need to talk with him?", he asked Lu Tai Cang.
,m "Second elder, there is a matter of great importance which may occure sometime after the grand sect competition.
It may take few months or years but it will definitely happen. Grand elder didn't describe much but from his tone I can tell that this matter is much more important than the Grand sect competition", Lu Tai Cang spoke.
"I think appearance of the second princess is related to this matter. Imperial family is probably doing some sorts of preparation and we can see what their goal is by the time, the grand sect competition ends", Lu Tai Cang added further.
"I need to talk with elder brother Huan after this competetion. For now, forget this matter. The day's competetion is about to begin", the second elder of Lu clan spoke.
The spirit palace didn't send judges immediately after arriving on the venue of the Grand sect competition. Instead, they were having a conversation among themselves after arriving on their usual location.
"I request representatives of the five clans and the three sects to meet with us. Imperial family has put forward a proposal this time. If all of you agree to it, then it will be a boon for the cultivators of our Northern desert continent", an expert of the Spirit palace announced. He was using his essence energy to enhance his voice. So, his words easily reached the surrounding hills.
