Chapter 1167 The Last Banquet

Chapter 1167 The Last Banquet

Ji Yuan was now having his first banquet with his maidens in the great hall of the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect.

This was their very first banquet together and probably their very last too.

In a few short days' time, they would be fighting against the Great Demon God himself and his army.

So, this banquet was not a jovial banquet but a rather solemn one.

Ji Yuan toasted to all the maidens that were presented which included Shui Qingqing and Shui Xisi, "May we achieve our great victory against the Great Demon God and his Evil Cultivation Palace..."

Then with a short hesitation, he added. "Even though the Evil Cultivation God is no more but the Evil Cultivation Palace that is created by the Great Demon God still exists. So the battle against the Great Demon God is far from over. Also, we are all here to take vengeance for Jiajia too."

Shui Xisi nodded, "I must avenge the death of my Sister Feifei whom you all called Jiajia. My sister's death must be avenged and I shall make the Great Demon God pay with his life!"

Yun Chi smiled wryly, "Matriarch Shui Xisi, well said indeed..."

Actually by now, Shui Xisi was quite close to Yun Chi too and Yun Chi needed not address her title but she was only pretending to do so.

Yun Chi smiled as she continued, "In Ji Yuan's heart, Jiajia is already his consort and we are all his consorts here so naturally we have to take vendetta for our sister consort as well. But if Ji Yuan takes his vengeance for your sister, then are you going to take your sister place and be his consort instead?"

Shui Xisi immediately frowned with a flushed look as she pretended to stare coldly at Ji Yuan, "Him?! Ji Yuan is but an unromantic cultivator and even my sister says so too. I will take him as my lord? He has nothing but a beautiful face. He can dream on! He is nothing but a lustful toad that is hunger over a beautiful swan like me."

Ji Yuan nearly choked on the wine that he was drinking halfway.

Many of the maidens were giggling softly as they were well aware that Shui Xisi liked Ji Yuan.

Shui Qingqing innocently said, "My protégé mistress will never like Ji Yuan because he has no beard now. But..."

She lowered her head to shyly said, "But... I don't mind..."

Many of the maidens had a knowing look when they saw Shui Qingqing's coyly look; they had already known about Shui Qingqing's infatuation with Ji Yuan.

Shui Xisi: ...

She wanted to say something bad about Ji Yuan but she was quickly sighing softly; she had actually known of Qingqing's infatuation with Ji Yuan for a long time and it was pointless for her to say anything.

Many of the maidens had a sheepish look when they imagined Ji Yuan with his beard.nove.lb-1n

Ji Yuan was sighing woefully, "Alas, my beautiful beard has made such a great sacrifice for me..."

Some of the maidens like the Lovely Empress, Ling Feiyue and Xue Qianxue wanted to kill Ji Yuan for mentioning his beard in front of them.

Ji Yuan continued to say aloud, "My biggest regret in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth is that I didn't manage to find a divine remedy for my lost beard. I am sure that there is a divine remedy somewhere. Alas..."

Shui Xisi, Ling Feiyue, Feng Mingyue and Little Princess were secretly looking at one another sheepishly.

Actually Yu Jingjing had told them that there was indeed a divine remedy in her Holy Oracle Sect and she had even told Ji Yuan about it.

But Ji Yuan had thought that this was a ruse to get him to go to the Holy Oracle Sect and be with Yu Jingjing instead.

He had laughed back then, "Jingjing, this same trick had already been used by Xue Qianxue. I'm not falling for this again. Your Holy Oracle Sect is a all-female cultivation sect. There won't be a beard restoring divine remedy."

Shui Xisi, Ling Feiyue, Little Princess and Feng Minyue then told Yu Jingjing not to mention this again to Ji Yuan as they did not want him to get back his beard.

Ji Yuan had thought that he was very smart not to believe Yu Jingjing as he laughed at her, "The same trick cannot be used on me twice. Haha..."

All of a sudden Xuan Qianxue was startled by something as she went to a corner to receive a secret transmission.

Xue Qianxue was now the Chief Commander of the various resistance groups against the Evil Cultivation Palace and she regularly received updates from her scouts.

So the rest of the maidens continued to chat and drink with Ji Yuan.

When the Sacred Maiden Xue Qianxue had returned, she was actually smiling to everyone. "I have 2 good news to inform everyone."

Everyone: ???

Ji Yuan laughed, "Is the Great Devil God dead? Then I don't have to do anything now."

Xue Qianxue shook her head but she was smiling beautifully, "My Old Patriarch Mo Ming had just messaged me. My Mo Clan has just taken back the Eons Mountains and reclaim it. And also my Uncle Mo Bei and Maiden Qin Shuang have sends their regards for Ji Yuan."

Xue Qianxue is a niece of Mo Bei and naturally the Mo Clan was also her cultivation sect.

Ji Yuan was startled, "What? Senior Mo Bei and Maiden Qin Shuang are both with your Old Patriarch Mo Ming now? And they have even taken back the Eons Mountains? I've thought that Senior Mo Bei is a goner or lost somewhere in the desolate mists."

Xue Qianxue smiled, "My Uncle Mo Bei is the future leader of the Mo Clan so naturally he will also have the secret means of making contacts with the Mo Clan."

Then Xue Qianxue was smiling wryly again, "The second good piece of news is that my Matriarch Han Yuchi and Zhao Songjin have recaptured the Celestial Orthodox Sect from the Evil Cultivation Palace."

Ji Yuan and many of the maidens were gasping with shock.

Xue Qianxue smiled, "It seemed that after Ji Yuan has reclaimed the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect, the Mo Clan and the Celestial Orthodox Sect have been secretly making preparations to retake their celestial holy land."

Ling Feiyue turned to Ling Tianshui, "Alas, we should try to take back our Spirit Blue Moon Sect as well."

Ling Tianshui laughed softly, "Actually our patriarch and elders are on their way to retake the Spirit Blue Moon Sect. It is just that I've forgotten to tell you."

She was smiling shyly when she had said that; it was because she was too busy in Ji Yuan's cultivation chamber to tell Ling Feiyue and when she was free to tell Ling Feiyue, she was in Ji Yuan's cultivation chamber instead.

Xue Qianxue smield, "It's no wonder why we have no news of the other resistance groups for some time. Ji Yuan's great victory has given them hope that they would be able to take back their cultivation sects which is their first priority. So instead of coming directly here, they are messing our enemies' backyard instead."

Ji Yuan nodded, "It's no wonder why the Evil Cultivation Palace is so quiet and not making a move against us yet."

Xue Qianxue giggled softly, "That's right. There are also reports that in some parts, the Evil Cultivation Palace is fighting against the Evil Cultivation Palace too."

Ji Yuan: ???

"Why is that so?"

Xue Qianxue said, "It seems that the Eastern Region that is under the Great Immortal Rohan is still loyal to the Evil Cultivation God while the other regions have all surrendered to the Great Demon God."

She also said, "Right now, the most powerful cultivators of the Evil Cultivation Palace are still at the Great Forsaken Basin. So the other regions are all seeing fierce fighting between the resistance groups and the Evil Cultivation Palace for controls. The situation is actually very messy at the moment. There are now more resistance groups that we have imagined and I guess that these groups are formed by the returning golden celestials that have grouped together to fight against the Evil Cultivation Palace."

Ji Yuan slowly nodded with a grin, "That' right. Many of the returning golden celestials are not pushovers, especially the saints and great saints of the prominent celestial clans. They just won't surrender so readily to the Evil Cultivation Palace even if they have lost their cultivation sects."

Then he was laughing jovially, "It seems that we aren't fighting this battle alone..."

He had been quite anxious recently as he holed up in his cultivation chamber especially with the arrival of many of his maidens. It was because he was worried that the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect may be attacked by hundreds of thousands of cultivators from all fronts.

But it seemed to him now that many of the cultivators from the Evil Cultivation Palace was now fighting their own fire in their back yard and it was too dangerous for them to bring their cultivators from their own regions to the Blue Phoenix Sacred Sect.

Therefore, the Great Demon God could only come in the air with his limited number of profound ships and cultivators.
