Chapter 887
"What, he is also the peak master!"
Everyone was stunned.
Xiuyuan Sect actually sent two peak master-level figures to attend Cui Yuan’s promotion banquet!
This has never happened in the past few hundred years!
Even five years ago, when a powerful Fusion Realm man was born in the Tuoba royal family, the Xiuyuan Sect only sent one peak master to congratulate him!
What does this mean?
Could it be said that in the eyes of the Xiuyuan Sect, Cui Yuan's status is more important than that of the Tuoba royal family?
That's obviously not the case.
Prince Yun looked solemn, but he still stood up and faced Xiao Zhan with his hands and fists:
"I've met Master Xiao."
Cui Yuan and others also clasped their hands and saluted:
"I have met Master Xiao."
If before, they would have sneered when they heard that the person in front of them was the peak master of Xiuyuan Sect's tenth peak.
Because anyone with a little knowledge in the world knows that the people at Xiuyuan Sect's tenth peak have always been trash, including the peak master.
But some time ago, the news about Xiao Zhan, the leader of the 10th Peak, showed his strength and became a blockbuster has been completely spread.
Especially the Tuoba royal family paid great attention to Xiao Zhan.
The Tuoba royal family even thought about wooing Xiao Zhan and dividing the Tenth Peak.
But that's just an idea.
As soon as Tuoba Qingyun joined the Xiuyuan Sect, he sent a message to the royal family and informed him about Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan nodded calmly, and then slowly said:
"I have something I want to ask you what you think."
Prince Yun nodded and said:
"Master Xiao, please speak."
Xiao Zhan said 'hmm', his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and finally landed on Prince Yun's face.
He smiled and asked:
"The Tuoba royal family sent a request to the Xiuyuan Sect to destroy the big demon in the Tuotian River."
"Now, that big demon has been subdued by me."
The smile on Xiao Zhan's face grew wider:
"Prince Yun, the royal family sent a message to Xiuyuan Sect, saying that the big demon has strength comparable to the early stage of the Fusion Realm."
"Actually, that big demon has the strength of the middle stage of the Fusion Realm."
"Is it possible that the royal family deliberately concealed this matter from the Xiuyuan Sect?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Prince Yun.
The atmosphere at the scene also became a little tense.
Ye Qingcheng frowned, and his aura began to surge.
She stood up and looked at Prince Yun:
"There are several peak masters in the Xiuyuan Sect, and they are all in the early stages of the Fusion Realm."
"If the sect master had sent them there, I'm afraid they would have been killed by the big demon by now."
"Prince Yun, on behalf of the royal family, should you give us an answer to this matter?"
Prince Yun was silent for a moment, and his expression became very solemn.
He exhaled a breath, looked at Xiao Zhan and said:
"Master Xiao, I have no knowledge of this matter at all!"
"If what I tell is a lie, I will not be able to make any progress in my cultivation in this life."
Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded:
"In that case, then I believe in Prince Yun."
"It's just that, do the other members of the royal family know about this matter?"
After hearing this, Prince Yun continued to remain silent.
He suddenly realized that he might have been used as well.
Prince Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
His good brother is really cruel.
That is to say, Xiao Zhan is easy to talk to. If it were another peak master of Xiuyuan Sect, he would probably have killed him by now, right?
Xiao Zhan continued at this time:
"The big demon said that someone would regularly put a lot of genius treasures into it, so that it could have such strong strength."
"Whether that big demon was raised by the royal family or not, I think it doesn't matter anymore."
Prince Yun nodded heavily, bowed and clasped his fists:
"Master Xiao, don't worry, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with our Tuoba royal family."
"But after I go back, I will tell the truth to the emperor brother, but I will not let anyone with ulterior motives instigate the relationship between our royal family and the Xiuyuan Sect."
After saying that, Prince Yun didn't want to stay any longer and looked at Cui Yuan and said:
"Cui Yuan, I will return to the imperial capital first. You can consolidate your cultivation and arrive at the imperial capital within three months."
Cui Yuan nodded and then watched Prince Yun leave.
Ye Qingcheng frowned, looked at Xiao Zhan and asked:
"Since we knew it was a temptation from the royal family, why didn't we directly kill Prince Yun to show our attitude?"
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone else present changed.
Ye Qingcheng actually said such words in front of them.
What's more, Cui Yuan is now worshiped by the royal family.
Speaking in front of him that he wanted to kill Prince Yun of the royal family, was this... too bold?
Ye Qingcheng completely ignored the reactions of these people and snorted coldly:
"Our Xiuyuan Sect protects the Haoyang Empire, and we are the Protector of the Haoyang Empire."
"So, people from the royal family are no different from other people in the Haoyang Empire."
Xiao Zhan took a sip of wine and asked with a smile:
"You said expressing our attitude, I don't think it's necessary."
"We in the Xiuyuan Sect have no desires or pursuits, and everyone only pursues a higher path."
"It is correct to say that our Xiuyuan Sect is the country-protecting sect of the Haoyang Empire."
"But most of the time, we are a sect that transcends the world."
"Since we are pursuing a higher realm, why should we be related to the royal family?"
"To protect the Haoyang Empire and the people of the world, you don't necessarily have to cooperate with the royal family."
Xiao Zhan saw it very clearly and his eyes were extremely profound:
"In times of peace and prosperity, our Xiuyuan Sect can't escape the world."
"The world is in chaos, so Xiu Yuanzong comes down to help the world."
"This has nothing to do with the royal family."
Ye Qingcheng frowned:
"Our Xiuyuan Sect is an independent force."
Xiao Zhan slowly shook his head:
"Not independent enough."
"Otherwise why would the royal family want to test it?"
"Since our Xiuyuan Sect has no interest in the Haoyang Empire, why should we integrate with the secular world?"
"Think about it, the sect master must have some secret plan that makes the royal family so anxious."
Ye Qingcheng suddenly fell into deep thought.
For a long time, she slowly shook her head:
"Let's go, these things have nothing to do with us."
Xiao Zhan said 'hmm', turned around and walked out of the hall.
When they came outside, Xiao Zhan and Ye Qingcheng jumped up and flew into the air.
Xiao Zhan led the way, followed closely by Ye Qingcheng.
One day later, the two came to the Tuotian River.
Xiao Zhan exuded a breath.
The next moment, the river began to surge.
The big black demon emerged from the river.
Xiao Zhan and Ye Qingcheng fell on the shoulders of the big demon.
The big demon immediately took steps and ran towards Xiuyuan Sect.
The monster's body is huge, and the ground shakes wherever it passes.
Countless people looked up at this big monster with horrified expressions on their faces.
On the big demon's shoulder, Ye Qingcheng looked at Xiao Zhan and spoke slowly:
"Bringing the big demon back to Xiuyuan Sect is to tell the royal family that Xiuyuan Sect has a broad mind?"
Xiao Zhan pulled out the stopper of the wine gourd, smiled and shook his head:
"It's just that I think this big demon is pretty strong and can stay at the Tenth Peak."
Ye Qingcheng nodded:
"This big demon is even stronger than several peak masters. This is equivalent to having two peak masters on your tenth peak."
"Xiao Zhan, I want to remind you."
"Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes."
"Although Xiuyuan Sect is aloof from the world, it is composed of people after all."
"The strength of the Tenth Peak is so strong that it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of other peaks."
"Even the sect leader may not see that the strength of the Tenth Peak exceeds expectations."
Xiao Zhan chuckled:
"Do you think I'll care?"
Ye Qingcheng said no more.
A few days later, the big demon approached the territory of Xiuyuan Sect.
The other peak masters have already received the news and are already waiting.
When they saw the giant monster's huge size and powerful aura, a group of peak masters instead of being happy, actually frowned.
Murong Xuantian stood high in the sky, looking at Xiao Zhan and Ye Qingcheng with a smile.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, and Ye Qingcheng just said, "It's not hard work."
Murong Xuantian looked at the big demon and said slowly:
"This big demon has the strength of the middle stage of the Fusion Realm. If it can stay in our Xiuyuan Sect to practice in a down-to-earth manner, it will be a great thing for our Xiuyuan Sect."
"It's just that the tenth peak is a bit smaller. I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate this big monster."
"Moreover, the great demon's character is undecided and may pose a threat to the disciples of the Tenth Peak."
Xiao Zhan looked calm and chuckled:
"What about the sect leader's opinion?"
Murong Xuantian looked at Xiao Zhan meaningfully:
"There is a large lake in our Xiuyuan Sect called Mirror Moon Lake, which is enough for this big monster to practice there."
Xiao Zhan nodded:
"fine."
The big demon also made a sound at this time:
"Don't worry, Sect Master. I have Master Xiao's guidance and I will definitely do good in the future."
Murong Xuantian smiled and nodded:
"Then I will name you Mirror Moon and make you the Lord of Mirror Moon Lake, so that you can be on an equal footing with other peak owners. How about that?"
The big demon nodded:
"Thank you, Master."
Xiao Zhan smiled and said:
"Sect Master, I'll go back to the Tenth Peak first."
Murong Xuantian nodded:
"Master Xiao has made great achievements in this trip. As a reward, I will send someone to the tenth peak."
Xiao Zhan waved his hand, his figure flashed and disappeared into the sky.
Murong Xuantian then looked at the other peak masters:
"It seems that we are narrow-minded."
Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly:
"Master Xiao has no desires or pursuits. When it comes to character, I'm afraid no one in our Xiuyuan Sect can compare to him."
Murong Xuantian smiled and nodded.
"Master Ye Feng, it's up to you to take the Master of Mirror Moon Lake to Mirror Moon Lake."
Ye Qingcheng nodded and left with the big demon.
Murong Xuantian looked at the other eight peak masters and said slowly:
"Master Xiao is devoted to the Tao, you all should learn more."
The eight peak masters nodded.
No matter what they thought of Xiao Zhan before, after today, they all realized that Xiao Zhan was a very thorough person.
He seems to have abandoned ambition and desire.
Such a person does not pose a threat to anyone.
The premise is... don't anger him.
The tenth peak.
As soon as Xiao Zhan showed up, Du Yue, Du Hao, Han Xiaoya, and Han Xiao were already waiting at the entrance of the hall to greet him.
Xiao Zhan slowly fell down and asked with a smile:
"I'm not here these days. Nothing happened on the mountain, right?"
Du Yue and Du Hao shook their heads.
Only Han Xiaoya said awkwardly:
"Peak Master, Han Xiao went to steal the eggs of the sword-feathered bird and got a peck on his butt."
A naive smile appeared on Han Xiao's face, and he suddenly turned his back and pulled his pants down.
Xiao Zhan suddenly burst into laughter.
Du Yue and Du Hao were speechless.
This little junior brother is too careless.
Some people died, but not completely...
