Chapter 21: Hanshan Gongzi

  PS: Seeking recommendations

  "Who comes?"

  At the foot of the mountain, four disciples of the Guardian of the Mountain blocked a group of people.

  A cold and stern young man stepped forward and said loudly: "We are from Feicui Valley, this is the inner gate elder Mu Yongyuan, why not let us pass?"

  "Jade Valley, inner gate elder!" The mountain guardian disciple was shocked. In the Tianfeng Nation, Jade Valley disciples who went out were all high-ranking officials, let alone an inner gate elder had come, that was simply a dominant figure, even the emperor would have to treat him with courtesy.

  "Please come this way." The disciple at the front smiled and winked at the person next to him, "Quickly go inform Elder Shou Shan."

  In a short while, Fei Cui Valley caused a stir throughout Liu Yun Sect.

  Liuyun Temple Reception Hall.

  Apart from a few inner sect elders sitting on the left, there was also a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat. He was about forty years old, with a sturdy build and a pair of tiger-like palms resting on the armrests of his chair. Sitting upright, he exuded an aura of majesty, none other than the number one expert of Liu Yun Sect, Sect Master Luo Xinglie.

  Originally, a ordinary inner sect elder would come over and Luo Xinglie wouldn't need to personally welcome him, handing it over to the inner sect's great elder or second elder would be fine. However, this time Mu Fengyuan wasn't simple, he was one of the top ten inner sect elders in Feicui Valley, his cultivation had reached the late stage of Huayuan realm, and his strength wasn't much lower than Luo Xinglie's. The great elder, second elder, and third elder weren't necessarily weaker than him in terms of strength, but wanting to suppress him would be extremely difficult. Out of face, Luo Xinglie didn't want the phenomenon of a strong guest and weak host to appear, so he had no choice but to personally take action, because only he was clearly stronger than Mu Fengyuan in terms of strength within Liuyun Sect.

  On the right-hand side, Mu Yong and three young men sat in a row.

  "Haha, Old Master Mu, what wind has blown you here? I'm afraid we didn't welcome you from afar!" Luo Xinglie first let out a bright laugh, then his gaze fell on Mu Yongyuan's body.

  Mu Feng smiled faintly and put down the teacup in his hand, saying: "I also hope that Master Luo will not blame us for coming uninvited."

  Liu Yun Zong's elder was also an old man, slightly stout in build. "Oh no, our sect master heard you were coming and personally came out to receive you."

  Luò Xíng Liè nodded and changed the subject: "I don't know what brings Mù Zhǎnglǎo here, it can't be that you've come specifically to visit, could it?"

  "Visiting is a matter of course, and I'll take care of some personal matters for the younger generation while I'm at it."

  "What's this young one's business?" Luo Xinglie asked in surprise.

  Mu Yong cleared his throat and asked, "I don't know if your sect has a disciple named Ye Chen. This is his sister Ye Xuan, and the other one also has some relationship with him."

  As soon as this was said, Luo Xinglie and several inner sect elders of Liu Yunzong immediately looked at Ye Xuan and the absolute beauty girl, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

  The beauty of the two women was secondary, their cultivation was what people valued most.

  Ye Xuan looked like she was not yet fifteen years old, but her cultivation had already reached the early stages of the Condensing Reality Realm. Her true energy was somewhat mixed and should have just stepped into it for a short time. In terms of talent, Liuyun Sect was not lacking in such geniuses, but neither were they many, let alone the fact that she was a female cultivator.

  Another stunning beauty was somewhat frightening, only slightly older than Ye Xuan, yet her cultivation had reached the mid-peak of the Condensing Reality Realm. Given a few more months, reaching the late stage of the Condensing Reality Realm wouldn't be a problem. Her talent was truly exceptional, and in the Flowing Cloud Sect, she could definitely rank among the top three, perhaps even higher.

  Luò Xíng Liè let out a silent sigh, the geniuses of Fei Cui Valley truly emerge one after another, and even an ordinary one can rival the best disciple of Liu Yun Zong. No wonder they have always occupied the position of the first great sect in Tian Feng Country, and even Bei Xue Mountain Villa has to yield slightly.

  "What is your surname and given name, young lady?" asked the senior elder, unable to hold back his question.

  The beautiful girl was calm and composed, "Greetings, Great Elder, I am Ji Xueyan."

  "Xueyan Ji, aren't you a member of the Ji family?"

  "That's right."

  Luò Xíng Liè laughed and said: "With a young master like you in the Ji family, the position of one of the eight major families is even more secure, congratulations are in order."

  "Yes!" The other several inner sect elders nodded in agreement.

  "Someone, go and bring Ye Chen in." Luo Xinglie didn't know Ye Chen personally, but as the sect master, just one word was enough.

  The young man who had been silent and cold all along stood up with Mu Yuan's consent and said, "Luo Zong and the various elders, Liu Wu Xiang has an unreasonable request. He hopes to have a match with Han Shan Gongzi of your sect before resolving the matter of Ji Shi Mei."

  Luo Xinglie's face stiffened, "You're talking about Luo Hanshan, that son of a dog."

  Mu Feng smiled and said: "Liu Wu Xiang is one of the four core disciples of our sect, he shouldn't be humiliated by fighting Han Shan Gong Zi!"

  "This is natural. The body of the young master is not well, perhaps he cannot undertake this matter." Luo Xinglie's face had a difficult expression, and upon careful observation, it could be seen that his eyes hid a hint of melancholy.

  Liu Wuxiang felt somewhat disappointed and wanted to say something more, but was persuaded by Mu Ou Yuan.

  "Father!" Suddenly, a young man in blue appeared outside the reception hall.

  Luó Xíng Liè was shocked and looked away, "Hán Shān, how did you get here?"

  The youth in blue clothes looked at Liu Wu Xiang and said: "Father, agree to it, I also want to see the strength of 'Zhang Jue' Liu Wu Xiang."

  "But..."

  "Don't worry, I have my own measure." The young man in blue was none other than Leng Shan Gongzi Luo Hanshan, also the son of Luo Xinglie and ranked second among the core disciples, only after "Dark Fragrance Sword" Zhu Mei.

  Liu Wu Xiang stood up, "Two years ago, the four strongest young people of Tianfeng Country were sealed as the Four Great Young Masters. They are our sect's senior brother, Fei Cui Gongzi, Beixue Manor's Beixue Gongzi, Duanmu Family's Duanmu Gongzi from the eight great families, and Liuyun Sect's Hanshan Gongzi. Now, my senior brother and Beixue Gongzi are breaking through to the Bao Yuan realm, but you've lost the title of Liuyun Sect's core disciple number one. It's really hard to understand."

  Lu Hanshan said calmly and confidently: "Zhu Mei's victory over me was well-deserved, I'm sure you all have some understanding of her strength."

  "An Xiang Jian Zhu Mei is indeed very strong, but to be honest, he's not as good as my senior brother by a long shot. Maybe your understanding of my senior brother is still from two years ago, then you're greatly mistaken."

  Lu Hanshan did not want to argue with the other party, and said: "Less idle talk, I don't know how to compare methods." The other party was one of the four core disciples of Feicui Valley, known as 'Zhang Jue' by the younger generation of Tianfeng Country. He had a strong true energy and palm skills that were unmatched, and it was said that he was only under Feicui Gongzi, not to be underestimated.

  "It's easy, just three moves and we're done, we haven't even reached the real showdown yet."

  "As you wish, it shall be done here!"

  Luó Xíngliè, Mù Féngyuǎn and the various senior elders of Liúyún Zōng were all staring intently at the two, a top-notch showdown between the younger generation was not often seen. Especially Luó Xíngliè, whose tense expression could no longer be concealed, he was worried yet somewhat anticipating.

  Ji Xueyan and Ye Xuan were even more extraordinary, able to witness the duel between Shixiong Liu Wuxiang and Hanshan Gongzi, this time it was indeed worth coming.

  "Please!" Luo Hanshan took a few steps forward, one hand behind his back and the other gesturing invitingly.

  Liu Wuxiang strode forward with large steps, "I hope you go all out, otherwise you won't be my opponent."

  "Nature!"
