Chapter 292
Peng Jue just made a fuss, and almost everyone in the ceremony was watching. They all watched Zhao Ning walking out of the Blue Bird carriage, until they noticed that her cultivation level was only building a foundation, and she looked more like she was about to live a long life. Then he lost interest and looked back.
But there are still people paying attention.
"Who is this old woman? Why do I feel like I've seen you before?" Ji Xiu covered her mouth with a fan and asked quietly next to Shi Yueze.
Shi Yueze also stared at it, "It's indeed a bit strange. It's not as simple as it seems."
But at this moment, the other party accurately caught the two of them from countless scrutinizing eyes, and actually nodded slightly.
Ji Xiu raised his eyebrows and saw that two other people in his group also saluted him. He vaguely remembered that the other two were disciples of the Qingxiao Sect, but where was this old woman? Is it just a courtesy, or does it have a deeper meaning?
Shi Yueze was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other person carefully, and suddenly remembered someone... The smile in his eyes fainted, and he put his arm directly on Ji Xiu's shoulders, "If you have anything to think about, let's watch the show."
Seeing Shi Yueze's change in attitude, Ji Xiu squinted at him, but didn't get the slightest hint.
"Senior Shenshou made such a joke that we all don't know what to do." Zhiyue smiled and raised her hand to welcome him, "Senior Shenshou, please come and take a seat on the east side."
"I have been hiding as a cultivator for hundreds of years. It turns out that there are still people who know me." He rolled up his long sleeves and held his hands in the air towards the eastern high platform, and brought Zhao Ning and others up with him.
The sect masters from the Chengxuan Cultivation World and the Bianzhou Cultivation World were particularly familiar with Peng Jue, so they all came forward to greet him. Some of their eyes even passed over Zhao Ning, trying to get Peng Jue to introduce him, but Peng Jue only regarded him as Out of sight, he unfolded the sleeves of his robe and sat down at the desk.
Zhiyue said to an elder beside her, "All the distinguished guests have arrived. Go and invite the Supreme Elder."
Just as the elder responded, he heard a laugh coming from the horizon, "So many old friends and powerful people are here to support me, but I'm late."
But in a blink of an eye, I saw a crane in the sky leading the way, holding a golden lotus lantern in its mouth, followed by a dozen fairies holding flower baskets and holding musical instruments, and behind them a fire unicorn pulled a cart. The raging flames illuminated half of the sky red, even the sun in the sky. Everyone stared at the frame, and the rest became dim.
Arriving a hundred feet in front of the main hall, Zhiyue led everyone from the Ye family and the Tianyang Immortal Sect to salute him and give him the most central position on the steps of the main hall.
The crane transformed into two crane boys, and the lanterns fell on both sides of the hall. The fairies accompanying the car flew neatly on both sides, their drapes fluttering in the wind. The picture was beautiful and solemn.
The two maids bowed their heads and lowered their eyes and respectfully opened the gauze curtain, revealing an old man with long beard and white hair in the carriage. According to ordinary life, he should be sixty or seventy years old. He wore a fire-patterned Taoist robe, embroidered with the seal of the legendary ancestor. Supplemented by ancient cloud patterns as a foil, one hand is holding a stone tablet one foot high and three inches wide, and the other hand is holding the nine-section whip of killing immortals.
"What is the stone tablet in his hand?" Yanyu was very curious and asked Shan Shu in a low voice.
"It is rumored that it is the Tianyang Immortal Sect's mountain-holding monument. If you get it, you can gain access to the Tianyang Immortal Sect's thousands of miles of mountains and thousands of secret places."
"I've kept you guys waiting for a long time." He bent out of the chariot and looked at everyone present with a smile.
At this time, the celestial music revived and the strange fragrance floated. Zhiyue came forward to greet her, delicate and respectful, "Supreme Elder, we are ready."
He seemed to have noticed Zhiyue just then, and took a closer look at her outfit. He was very satisfied, and his voice was a little sticky, "At this time, why are you calling Taishang Elder?" His fingertips traced Zhiyue's face. Pass.
Zhiyue bowed her head shyly and respectfully, letting him go first.
In front of the main hall, on the high platform, Yuanhua just turned around and his robe swept past. He saw the main hall changing, rising from the ground, the high platform was in front, a throne appeared on the high platform, and the main hall was radiant, as if it were a complete building. sacred background.
Yuan Hua slowly sat down with a smile on his face.
"I would like to thank you all from all over the world for coming to Yuanhua to celebrate my 3,000th birthday." He raised his hand and said, "Please."
Following his instructions, dozens of fairies flew out from the back of the hall, holding spiritual food fruits or immortal brews in their hands, and headed towards all the guests present.
As food and wine came on stage, Yuan Hua smiled and said, "This wine is our top-grade wine from Yangzhou. It's called Yaomengzui. Please use it."
He picked up the jade wine glass and saluted everyone present, "Please."
Everyone raised their glasses at the same time and said in return, "Please."
For a moment, no matter how awkward the atmosphere was at the beginning, it was overshadowed by the excitement at this moment.
After a glass of wine, the leader of the Moyang Sect, the second largest Immortal Cultivation Sect in Yangzhou, stood up first, holding a wine glass and congratulating Yuanhua from afar, "Supreme Elder Yuanhua, three thousand years have passed. If it weren't for the Tianyang Immortal Sect and the Ye family, we Yang The state is not as prosperous as it is now. We will wait until the Yangzhou Xiuzhen Sect is led by your sect and then it will be a world."
Hearing the compliments, Yuan Hua beamed with joy, raised his glass and said with a big smile, "Old friend Mo Yuan, what are you talking about? This is the responsibility of our Tianyang Immortal Sect and the Ye family, please."
The two of them had another drink together, and Yuan Hua seemed to accept the flattery of the other party, and attributed the prosperity of Tianyang Immortal Sect, Ye Family, and even Yangzhou for three thousand years to himself.
On the high platform in the east, Peng Jue raised his wine glass and gestured to Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning was only one behind him and raised his glass indifferently in response.
The message flew into Zhao Ning's ears, "This old guy is not ashamed, and I don't know if he will be able to laugh later."
Zhao Ning only took a sip, but she didn't like the strong taste. She put down the glass and slowly wiped her fingers, "Don't be in a hurry."
At this time, the leader of the Moyang Sect smiled again, "Today is the Grand Elder's 3000th Life Ceremony. I, Mo Yuan, will be one step ahead of everyone else. I wish Grand Elder Yuanhua eternal blessings and longevity."
After saying this, he toasted again and then gestured to the disciple behind him.
The disciple respectfully came forward with the congratulatory gift. He waved his sleeves and the congratulatory gift flew up and slowly moved towards the high platform. The elder of Tianyang Immortal Sect swept the dust in his hand and the congratulatory gift flew towards him lightly.
As the spiritual light floats, it is faintly visible that there seems to be the light of the sun inside.
The leader of the Moyang Sect laughed, "This is the fire of the Nine Fire Realm of the Nine Yang Secret Realm. One fire can burn an area thousands of miles around. The fire source contained in it is the purest and purest of heaven and earth. We, the Moyang Sect, specially brought it to congratulate Mrs. Yuan Hua." Go up to the Elder’s Three Thousand Lifespan Ceremony.”
This thing was quite helpful to Yuan Hua. He took a look at it with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Old friend Mo Yuan is interested."
So I had another cup of Yuan Meng Zui. After drinking it, someone on the high platform laughed and said, "The leader of the Moyang Sect is very fast and grabbed the first birthday greeting. How can we be late? The Supreme Elder Yuanhua, three thousand years ago , the stunning sword power of the Taishang Elder and Ye Tianjiao at the Bianzhou Sword Trial Conference is still unforgettable. Now it has actually been three thousand years. I, the Wanjian Sect, wish the Taishang Elder a high level and an early achievement of the Dao of Yuanshen. Bit, please!”
Yuanhua squinted his eyes, as if he was recalling three thousand years of time. When he toasted again, the smile in his eyes became stronger. There was no nostalgia, but only the pride of "the reincarnation of heaven, and now I have reached the top."
After a glass of wine, Wanjian Sect also sent a congratulatory gift. It was a spiritual treasure sword embryo that had been gestated for three thousand years. The sword embryo was blessed by the Thirty-Six Tiangang Restrictions. Once refined, and then baptized by the Heavenly Tribulation, it would become the strongest in Kyushu. magic weapon.
"Ha." In Peng Jue's opinion, the sword fetus is just a semi-finished product. Let's not talk about refining, just talk about the heavenly tribulation. The sword can overcome the heavenly tribulation, and people can also overcome it. Who knows whether the old man Yuanhua can resist it, "The little family is so angry." .”
After that, there were congratulations from all the major sects. Yuanhua accepted them one by one and drank one glass of wine, feeling very satisfied.
Peng Jue drank a glass of wine, then stood up and congratulated in a false way, "Elder Yuanhua, you came in a hurry, and the gifts were hastily prepared, so don't dislike it."
He raised his hand and waved, and everyone saw that among the gifts flying up, there was a second-level spiritual treasure that had been forged, which made many people jealous. He was indeed a master of weapon refining with a reputation that has lasted for thousands of years. It's just a magic weapon.
"Senior Shenshou is really a great gift." At this moment, on the desk not far away, Xiang Hongxuan suddenly let out a strange voice, "I just don't know if Elder Yuanhua can still use the spirit treasure."
This statement made the birthday guests present a little puzzled. They glanced at each other. Yuanhua stared at him with squinted eyes. A hint of chill flashed in his eyes, but the smile on his face did not disappear. "Xiang Sect Master, what you say makes sense. I am in charge of more than thousands of people in the Ye family and Tianyang Immortal Sect. Elder Yuanying knows how to count them. Under him are nearly a hundred Jindan masters and countless disciples. The sky is falling. There is no need for me to take action."
He raised his hand and rolled up Peng Jian's birthday gift quickly to the elder who received the gift. The elder accepted it respectfully. Yuanhua looked at Xiang Hongxuan with a smile, "I don't know, what does Sect Leader Xiang think?"
Xiang Hongxuan stood up with his robes unfurled, a strange smile appeared on his expressionless face, "Elder Yuanhua said politely, there is no need to do anything the elder wants to do or who he wants to kill. "
No one knew why Xiang Hongxuan mentioned taboo words in the birthday ceremony, but all the old foxes present just pretended not to hear, waiting for Xiang Hongxuan to continue, but Xiang Hongxuan simply raised his hand and waved a The square brocade box flew towards Supreme Elder Yuan Hua and reached mid-air. The elder of the Tianyang Immortal Sect swept it with a whisk, causing the gifts to shine brightly and penetrate the surface of the brocade box.
At this moment, many people took a deep breath.
However, he saw that the brocade box contained no heavenly, earthly or spiritual treasures, but a human head.
This person looked like he had just been decapitated, his pupils were wide open, and he was still staring blankly, and there was still a large amount of blood dripping from the incision on his neck.
Someone whispered, "Why does this man look so familiar? Isn't this Elder Jinhe of the Purple Flame Sect?"
"That's Elder Jinhe. I heard that Elder Jinhe was once from Yangzhou, and later defected to the Ziyan Sect. He has the strength to compete for the sect leader in the Ziyan Sect." Someone on the high platform was more familiar, but he only said a few words. He kept it secret and looked at Xiang Hongxuan and felt that today's drama was getting bigger.
Yuan Hua's face changed drastically, and then an elder from the Tianyang Immortal Sect reacted and shouted, "Sect Master Xiang, today is the birthday ceremony of our Supreme Elder Yuan Hua, what do you mean by offering such a bloody thing?! If you want to deliberately disrupt the longevity ceremony, Tianyang Immortal Sect will not welcome you!"
"Oh?" Xiang Hongxuan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Why should this elder be angry? This is a member of my Ziyan Sect. Shouldn't he be an enemy of your sect? I killed him to help the longevity ceremony, so why should I be angry? That's all. Since the Supreme Elder Yuanhua doesn't like this gift, I will exchange it for another one."
On the eastern high platform, many people's eyes were focused on Xiang Hongxuan. Peng Jue frowned and sent a message to Zhao Ning, "Why do I feel that his purpose is similar to ours."
"What's the purpose of our talk?" Zhao Ning suddenly said calmly, "I'm just here to drink and watch the excitement."
She raised her eyes to look at Peng Jue. Peng Jue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No!"
Just watching the excitement, there are eight strange people, "Then do you know who this head is?"
"It's nothing more than Tianyang Immortal Sect's undercover agent in Ziyan Sect." Zhao Ning said flatly, "Maybe he has a close relationship with Yuanhua."
Peng Jue also felt the same, so he simply leaned on the table and watched Xiang Hongxuan continue.
Xiang Hongxuan said that it was really a change, but when he replaced it with an ordinary gift, the tension that suddenly rose just now dissipated. Everyone knew that in front of the powerful sects in the world of Jiuzhou, even if Yuanhua changed his face, he would only change his face. If this is the case, if we really drive people out, this birthday pawn will really become a farce.
Yuan Hua glared at everyone in the Tianyang Immortal Sect without leaving any trace, as if questioning why this person was let in.
Zhiyue lowered her eyes and said nothing.
At this moment, Yuan Hua suddenly stood up and said, "That's it."
He grabbed Zhiyue's wrist with one hand and announced to everyone present, "In addition to my three thousand life ceremony, I have one more thing to announce to you today."
The elder behind him immediately took a step forward, "Zhiyue Sect Master has been in charge of Tianyang Immortal Sect for hundreds of years. He has made equal contributions to his hard work. Today he officially merges with Elder Yuanhua and joins the Ye family tree."
Many people present were shocked by this statement, but some who knew the situation remained silent.
Yanyu covered her mouth and complained to Zhong Wenyan in a low voice, "The Supreme Elder is already this old, and Zhiyue Sect Master seems to be only a few hundred years old. The age gap is too big. Just like a mortal woman marrying at a young age Is it suitable for an old man?"
"Shh." Zhiyue warned her, "keep your voice down."
However, with Peng Jian present, their voices were muffled, and even one person standing apart could not hear what they were complaining about.
Even Peng Jue leaned forward and said, "How pitiful."
Zhao Ning looked at Zhiyue on the high platform. She looked calm and had no other emotions. The same was true for everyone else on the high platform. Even He Jie did not change his expression.
The elder of the Tianyang Immortal Sect waved his whisker again and acted accordingly, "Today all the powerful sect leaders from all over the Nine Provinces and Seas have gathered here. I have received your blessings and submitted them to Heaven. They will be listed on the stele."
As he spoke, a red carpet was rolled forward, all the way to the Heavenly Path Monument, forming a red road to the sky.
Yuanhua was satisfied and looked down at Zhiyue. Zhiyue nodded slightly, and the two of them walked towards the Tiandao Monument in the air.
At this moment, a rumor suddenly floated towards the high platform of the main hall. It was unknown whether it was because of the distance or improper control. The sound leaked faintly and reached everyone's ears.
"He Jie, how come you didn't say a word about this matter of seizing your wife?"
Many people seemed to have heard shocking gossip, and their eyes focused on the high platform of the main hall. The man in blue robes who was hidden among the elders was almost ignored in the entire birthday ceremony.
Zhiyue really heard it. She seemed to be unable to hold back and glanced in He Jie's direction, but at the same time, Yuanhua tightened her grip even harder.
"Oh, I forgot that marrying Yuanhua is no different from marrying you."
This sentence contained so much information that some of the spectators stopped talking. Supreme Elder Yuanhua paused in his movements, and everyone in the Tianyang Immortal Sect and the Ye family could hear it clearly.
Someone shouted, "Xiang Hongxuan, what are you talking about? If you mess up the Supreme Elder's longevity ceremony again and again, don't blame our sect for being ruthless."
Xiang Hongxuan's eyes slowly fell on the elder who spoke, and he looked up and down without concealing it. "This elder has not entered the core position of the sect at first glance, and he does not even know about such an important matter."
Zhao Ning turned her eyes and glanced at Xiang Hongxuan. All his behavior today was completely opposite to that of Xiang Hongxuan a hundred years ago. Such a person's behavior can only be summed up in a few words - anger is hard to calm down.
Xiang Hongxuan wanted to say something else, but at this moment, He Jie suddenly shouted, "Boss Xiang". Such a title interrupted Xiang Hongxuan.
Everyone seemed to be vaguely aware of the relationship between He Jie and Xiang Hongxuan. He Jie was confused and aggrieved and said, "I don't know why Sect Master Xiang touched me so suddenly. You and I have been traveling in Jiuzhou for more than a hundred years, and Sect Master Xiang has taken care of us a lot. Even if we go our separate ways. Fang, please also ask Sect Master Xiang to take into consideration the old relationship and don’t... don’t let me down.”
"Zhiyue and Supreme Elder Yuanhua are very happy to see their new year. People who are cultivators can live for thousands of years, so why should they be so scrupulous as ordinary people." He Jie bowed to Xiang Hongxuan, "I know that Sect Master Xiang made a big fuss back then. The Yangzhou Hall ended hastily again, and Zhiyue was injured by mistake. I feel guilty and uneasy, and I hope Zhiyue will be safe for the rest of her life. Boss Xiang, please rest assured, the Supreme Elder Yuanhua is on top, the first person under the Heavenly Palace, will never wrong Zhiyue. of."
He spoke very freely and even flattered Yuan Hua. Everyone had a very good impression of this unknown person and even had some sympathy.
Someone even reminded Xiang Hongxuan, "Sect Leader Xiang, be careful what you say."
