…
At this moment, Nangong Ao stood outside the palace anxiously.
He had specifically come to see Su Changyu this time.
Even though the Nangong family was also an elite family, its status was limited to the Dongling only.
On the other hand, the Su Family was a major force on the entire Azura continent.
Clearly, their status differences couldn't be compared.
"When Su Changyu becomes Holy Son, I fear I won't even be able to stick with him."
Nangong Ao was certain in his mind.
Though he had an arrogant temperament, he was smart.
Moreover, voices within the Great Holy Sect have grown increasingly louder that Su Changyu was likely to soon assume the position of Holy Son.
He was afraid that many people would flatter him at that time.
So, Nangong Ao wanted to strike first.
However, he wasn't certain if he could see Su Changyu.
Because the last time he came, he stood at the door for the entire afternoon.
"Nangong Ao, Young Master wants you to come in." Su Jiuming walked out and said.
Nangong Ao hurriedly cupped his fists, "Thank you, Miss."
Before coming here, he did his homework.
Since Su Jiuming was the only personal maid beside Su Changyu, her relationship seemed close.
Hence, he naturally didn't dare offend her.
The palace was enormous, and the carved structures and jade buildings were luxurious.
But there were few people, and the atmosphere was empty and cold.
When he arrived at the backyard, Su Changyu was sitting alone in the courtyard.
"Greetings Senior Brother Su."
Nangong Ao bowed his head.
"Anything wrong, Junior Brother Nangong?" Su Changyu lightly smiled.
"There is no problem, just that Junior Brother really admires Senior Brother Su's character, and has come to greet you today."
Being in the same sect was convenient.
Nangong Ao presented himself as a Junior Brother, so naturally, he had a valid reason to visit.
"Sit down."
Su Changyu wore a smile on his face.
"I've heard that the Nangong family is famous in Dongling, and cultivating such an outstanding person as Junior Brother Nangong, the truth may be even better than the rumors."
"Senior Brother Su flatters me!" Nangong Ao was overjoyed, "Compared to Senior Brother's family, I'm not worth mentioning."
"Junior Brother Nangong doesn't need to be modest."
The duo chatted for a few moments.
Afterward, Nangong Ao mentioned the second purpose of his visit here.
"Senior Brother Su, next month is the Hundred Clans Banquet of Dongling. All the major clans will gather in Star Moon City, and my Nangong family has some prestige in that city. So for this banquet, Junior Brother asks Senior Brother to attend."
After saying this, Nangong Ao nervously handed over a golden envelope.
"The Hundred Clans Banquet will be hosted by the Nangong family. If the future Holy Son of the Great Holy Sect attended, it would be a supreme honor."
Su Jiuming took it and handed it over to Su Changyu.
"Hundred Clans Banquet?"
Su Changyu slightly pondered.
He wasn't interested in it.
However, he was quite interested in the Nangong family.
"Right." Nangong Ao hurriedly spoke about the Hundred Sect Banquet in general. "Although the Hundred Sect Gathering is spectacular, if the future Holy Son visited, the gathering would surely be blessed!"
"Since Junior Brother Nangong invited me, I'll attend." Su Changyu replied.
Nangong Ao was delighted. "Many thanks, Senior Brother! Then, Senior Brother Su, can we depart in three days?"
"Fine."
After receiving the word, Nangong Ao immediately excused himself and walked back to make preparations.
"Elder Li, has Ye Yuan left the Great Holy Sect?" Su Changyu asked indifferently.
"It's just as Young Master predicted. He recently left, but the one beside him is quite proficient, so I don't dare check on him too often." Elder Li's voice emerged from the void.
"It doesn't matter."
Su Changyu smiled faintly.
The Devil Fall Cave wasn't far from Star Moon City, with only a mountain range separating them.
If Ye Yuan made his way to the Demon Falling Cave, he could get there within a day or two.
"The Nine Spirit Flame... It's very good, but it's mine."
...
Three days later.
A magnificent boat stopped outside Purple Cloud Peak.
On the boat, one could see mountains and rivers as well as palaces and high buildings towering, clouds and mist steaming like a secret land of immortal mountains, extremely spectacular.
The surrounding runes dazzlingly emit golden light.
The boat drifted with the air current roaring, blowing the mountain tree branches to sway like waves.
The disciples outside Purple Cloud Peak raised their heads one after another.
"Huh? Isn't that the Nangong Clan's flying boat? Why is it appearing at Purple Cloud Peak?"
"It's Senior Brother Su who lives on Purple Cloud Peak. Nangong Ao probably has a request for him."
"Although the Nangong family is powerful, it's not worth mentioning compared to the Su family."
"It's better for us to get less involved in big families' affairs."
"I'm only curious about when Senior Brother Su will be promoted to Holy Son."
After a few moments, the boat departed and left the sight of the crowd.
Su Changyu stood at the top of the boat.
Beside him stood Su Jiuming.
After coming on the flying boat, Nangong Ao explained the Nangong family's situation to him.
The Hundred Clans Banquet wasn't always hosted by the Nangong Family.
Whoever was strong was qualified.
And every time the Hundred Clans Banquet was said to be an exchange between the great clans, it was actually a time for secret competition.
The Hundred Clans Banquet's results were decided by the quota set by the Heavenly Abyss, a fallen land from an ancient war.
There were countless treasures inside, as well as many divine inheritances.
"It seems like the Nangong Family isn't in a good position lately either." After Nangong Ao left, Su Jiuming pursed her lips and said, "Seeing how he looked just now, he was probably relieved to invite Young Master."
Su Changyu smiled lightly, "It is precisely the bad situation that makes me feel inclined to go."
"Young master wants to subdue the Nangong family?"
"Brilliant." Su Changyu reached out his hand and gently pinched on Jiuming's delicate nose, smiling, "The Nangong family is the top of many forces in the Dongling. If I can subdue them, it will greatly benefit my future... Of course, I have yet to step into the position of Holy Son right now, so although they will give me a few points, they may not necessarily be convinced."
The Holy Son's position was too important.
It was almost like the next successor to the Great Holy Sect's Sect Master.
Even if Su Changyu performed well, the Holy Land wouldn't decide that easily.
Of course, it was also due to his status as a licking dog for a few years before, delaying his cultivation.
If not for that, his current cultivation base would be higher.
Boom!
The flying boat left a dazzling light in the sky.
...
(The Star Moon City)
The city was large and luxurious.
Moreover, a legend says a vision fell from the sky ten thousand years ago. In the sky, the stars and the moon reflected ten thousand feet and covered a thousand miles, thus the name.
The Nangong family managed Star Moon City, and they also built a floating platform, high in the distance, where one could touch the starry sky.
At this time in Star Moon City, a terrifying atmosphere could be seen approaching from time to time.
There were flying boats with shining script, flying swords miles in the air, and terrifying spirit beasts with lion heads and deer bodies pulling chariots. These chariots were filled with experts from all the mighty sects.
"The Hundred Sect Banquet is here again."
"A gathering of a hundred clans, how spectacular."
"I don't know who will lead the Hundred Clans this year."
"Then there's no need to say? Naturally, it's the Nangong Family."
"The Nangong family has presided over the Hundred Zong Banquet for a thousand years. Only recently have I heard that the family's old ancestor failed to make a breakthrough and his cultivation plummeted?"
"A big fall in cultivation that is also a big daddy. Hahaha... Now, who has the guts to call the Nangong family big shots in Star Moon City?"
As a crowd murmured, the people from the various powerful clans got off their flying spirit vehicles and entered Star Moon City on foot.
Most of these people were handsome and extraordinary, dressed in luxurious clothing.
They looked young, but their cultivation bases were unfathomable.
"Miss, the Hundred Clans Banquet is about to begin."
In a room above, a woman wearing a light blue neon dress leaned against the railing.
The woman's appearance was stunningly beautiful, her temperament was out of this world, and the light in her beautiful eyes glistened.
Lowering her head, she stared at the tens of thousands of tall buildings in Star Moon City.
"Yes... The Hundred Clans Banquet is about to begin. I wonder if my cousin invited him."
