Ziwei Immortal Path

Chapter 121 Bi Yan Luo

There was a crowd of people outside the Shili Pavilion.

Xu Boyang and Ding Xuelian, along with the three Lingxi disciples of the Ding family, fell into the bustling crowd. As soon as they landed, they heard someone calling out. Xu Boyang raised his eyebrows and saw Fei Wenyu striding towards him from the crowd. He was surprised and smiled:
"Eh? Brother Fei, long time no see. Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Yuchuan?"

Fei Wenyu hadn't seen Xu Boyang for nearly two years. Seeing him suddenly at this moment, how could he not be overjoyed? He laughed out loud and said:
"You also asked, where have you been these past two years? You didn't even say hello, and I was so worried."

Xu Boyang pursed his lips slightly and said, "Something happened at home. Thank you for your concern, Brother Fei!"

After saying that, he turned sideways and introduced Ding Xuelian to him.

Ding Xuelian had long known from his father that the Xu family was on good terms with the Fei family of Dongke Town, Nanhuai. With a smile as beautiful as a flower, he stepped forward and said softly:
"So you are the young master of the Fei family. We have lived next to each other for many years, and we just met today. I am truly sorry. Please forgive me."

After saying this, he smiled and quietly retreated behind Xu Boyang.

Fei Wenyu has been hanging around the ghost market for many years. Although he is a little dull, he is not stupid. When he saw this scene, he laughed in his heart:
"This young clan of the Ding family is no ordinary family. They know this boy has a strong background, so they've even thrown themselves at him with such a beautiful woman. He's truly blessed!"

He immediately bowed and said, "Miss Ding, you are too polite."

He was already feeling depressed today, and he hadn't expected to run into Xu Boyang. All of a sudden, the embarrassment in his heart was swept away, and he finally regained some face. He laughed and was about to speak, but suddenly his face changed drastically. He took two steps back and stared at Xu Boyang as if he had seen a ghost. He gasped, his eyes almost popping out, and said in a trembling voice:
"Bo, Boyang, you, you have reached the ninth level of Condensation?"

Xu Boyang smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Fei Wenyu was stunned for a moment, a chill ran down his forehead, and his thoughts were extremely confused. He vaguely remembered that when he first met this kid, he seemed to have not started practicing yet, but at that time he had already reached the eighth level of Nascent Soul!
Now I am still at the eighth level of Condensation Yuan, but this kid is already at the ninth level!

Damn it! Crazy, crazy!

Is he crazy? Or am I crazy?

Fei Wenyu's face turned pale, and he was in a trance for a moment. He almost wondered if he had hysteria? Or was he insane?
"Boyang!"

Xu Boyang's face changed when he heard the voice, and he showed joy. He glanced to the side and saw a figure rushing over. He held him up and shouted excitedly:
"I haven't seen you for five years. I miss you so much!"

"Hold on!"

Xu Boyang saw who was coming and was overjoyed. He supported him with both hands and felt that the spiritual power in his body was as vast as the sea and unfathomable. It turned out that he had already built a foundation for immortality. He smiled and said,

"On the way here, I was wondering if I could see you, but I didn't expect to actually see you!"

Chen Baochong laughed heartily, extremely happy, "Are you coming to Yuchuan for the banquet too?"

Xu Boyang smiled and nodded.

"So this guy is... the young master of the Fei family. I was wondering why he looked so familiar just now... I'm so blind, so blind!"

Chen Baochong glanced at Fei Wenyu standing next to him. He had a very good memory, but it was too long, so he only hesitated for a moment. Then he contacted Xu Boyang and finally remembered who it was. He smiled and said something. Fei Wenyu's face lit up when he heard it, and he laughed:

"I was honored to be received by you, Senior, in this small room. It's been years since we last met. I hope you are doing well!"

Pei Yansu saw Xu Boyang suddenly appear, and the corners of his mouth curled up. It seemed that this kid was also going to Yuchuan to join in the fun. Suddenly, he saw a beautiful young woman in white following behind him. He was secretly shocked and his face suddenly darkened. He was about to go over, but unexpectedly, Zhang Guanzhi beside him was one step faster. He opened his eyes wide, looked surprised, walked over quickly, and said with a bow:
"Brother Xu, you're here too?"

Xu Boyang turned around and saw Zhang Guanzhi. He had never expected to meet three old acquaintances just outside the Yuchuan Ten-Li Pavilion. It was truly a coincidence. He couldn't help but laugh and put his hand on his shoulder.

"What a coincidence today! What brings Brother Zhang here too? Baochong, you and Brother Zhang used to work together in the Immortal Market, so you should know each other, right?"

Chen Baochong smiled and said, "Of course, we are old friends!"

The three of them smiled at each other when they heard this, all of them were very happy. Although Fei Wenyu didn't know why Zhang Juezhi had become so close to Xu Boyang again, when he saw the three of them laughing heartily, he also laughed heartily.

At this time, Pei Yansu walked over slowly. Chen Baochong hurriedly introduced him. Pei Yansu interrupted him with a wave of his hand and smiled slightly:
"Bao Chong, no need for introductions, we're all acquaintances. This Mr. Xu is a guest of the Ding family. We met once at Longmen Gorge..."

Xu Boyang looked at him with his eyes flashing, and suddenly a sense of familiarity flashed through his mind. He was extremely surprised. Hearing his words, he suddenly remembered the noble young man who followed Jiang Yujun and Ding Tianshi more than two years ago.

At that time, he was the one who flew onto the boulder and helped each family get the missing Lingxi seeds. In his hand, he had a [Green Jade Silk] that was exactly the same as Su Yanlu's.

Suddenly, it dawned on him that Xu Boyang was no longer the same as before. He already knew that the Cangwu Pei family was the only big family in Cangwu County, and even in the entire Jiangzuo Immortal Sect. Their reputation was unrivaled in Qingshen. With awe in his heart, he bowed and said:

"So it's Master Pei from Cangwu. We had a quick meeting that day at Longmen Gorge, and he has a photographic memory. What a great memory!"

"Bo Yang and my sect's senior brother have known each other for a long time?"

Chen Baochong was surprised that the two knew each other and laughed out loud:
"That's truly a coincidence! Senior Brother Pei is the chief disciple of Liushui Chaozong, the head of Chaozong Pavilion of the Jiangzuo Immortal Sect."

"This time, Senior Brother Pei and I, under the orders of our master, Cui Lang Lu Yu, are leading the Jiangzuo Immortal Sect's delegation to Yuchuan for the banquet."

Xu Boyang's spiritual sense had already been tested, but he felt it was unfathomable and could not detect this person's cultivation level. Now, upon hearing this, he knew that this person was a cultivator with a cultivation level above the Foundation Establishment stage, and of a transcendent status and prominent identity. He was secretly awed in his heart and said:

"Mr. Pei turned out to be a senior from the Immortal Sect and a disciple of the Feathered Scholar. Boyang was blind and did not recognize him. I apologize for the offense!"

Pei Yansu smiled faintly, but his eyes were fixed on Ding Xuelian behind him, and he asked indifferently:

"No problem, Master Xu, you brought your family to Yuchuan, are you here for the banquet as well?"

Xu Boyang was stunned. Before he could reply, Ding Xuelian stepped forward gracefully, clasped his fists, and said with a smile:

"The Ding family's Fengqing Town junior, Ding Xuelian, greets the three immortal sect elders!"

Zhang Guanzhi and Chen Baochong both smiled and clasped their fists in return. Behind their smiles, the same question suddenly popped up in their minds, and their thoughts ran wild:

"This woman turns out to be a member of the Ding family's minor clan. I wonder what her relationship is with Brother Xu? It seems they're quite close... Could they have become Taoist companions?"

"Senior Pei misunderstood..."

Xu Boyang was shocked when he saw Ding Xuelian approaching without any explanation and said,

"I have been ordered to attend the Taihe Jingwu Banquet, accompanying the master's servant, Miss Xuelian, to escort Lingxizi, our family member, into Yuchuan."

This sentence is concise, clear and neat!

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the girl from the Ding family seemed to have feelings for him, and they all nodded with meaningful smiles.

Pei Yansu felt relieved. It seemed that this kid's mind was clear and he was still like this. He was really scared just now. He thought he had already entered the Ding family and became a son-in-law. But looking at this situation, the Ding family had already made arrangements for him. It was obvious that they wanted to take it a step further. He didn't intend to let go. He sneered in his heart and said silently:

"Oh, is that so? I'm sorry for my poor eyesight and my rudeness to you, my lady."

Ding Xuelian's heart was already in turmoil at this moment. She couldn't imagine that Xu Boyang had met so many young talents in the past two years when he was away. They were all famous and had strong backgrounds. Not only were there disciples from the Jianyi Pavilion of the Nanhuai Immortal Sect, but there were also disciples from the Jiangzuo Cangyu Sect, which was comparable to the Huaiyou Lingxiao Sect among the four immortal sects!
Not only is he a disciple of Yu Shi, but he is also the chief master!

With such extraordinary means, could he really be the child of destiny?

It seems that these people have also discovered his secret, and are trying to make friends with him one by one!
Hearing Pei Yansu's words at this moment, he hurriedly bowed and said:
"I wouldn't dare, Master Pei is a senior from the Immortal Sect. Caring for the younger generation is the love of an elder!"

Pei Yansu smiled and said gently:
"Looking at the handsome man and beautiful woman, I think they must have achieved great success. It seems that this year's 'Taihe Jingwu Banquet' is full of talented people and capable people. This makes Jiangzuo feel uneasy!" Ding Xuelian smiled.
"Senior, you're joking. The Jiangzuo Immortal Sect is renowned far and wide, and famous throughout the land. How can a small family like ours compare to it? Brother Yang and I are just joining in the fun at the Earthly Yuan level. How dare we aspire to the Heavenly Yuan level?"

Pei Yansu laughed:
"As long as we win the Di Yuan, wouldn't your brother Yang have a chance to win the Tian Yuan? Miss Ding, you are not speaking from the heart. Just because you, as a disciple of a small clan, can't win the Tian Yuan, it doesn't mean that others can't."

Ding Xuelian smiled, said nothing, and only thanked:
"Thank you for your kind words, Senior. It's good that my brother Yang can fight."

Xu Boyang felt a little embarrassed for a moment when he heard a woman calling him "Brother Yang" in front of everyone, calling him "Brother Yang" so intimately, but he didn't want to interrupt her directly. After all, she was vague and didn't say anything out of line. He was indeed older than the girl, so there was nothing wrong with calling her "Brother Yang".

However, such a name is too ambiguous between men and women, and it is inevitable that people will imagine it.

For a moment, I felt a little confused:

"What's going on with this Ding Xuelian? He can't distinguish between the main and the secondary, and he's been incredibly passionate all along the way. Is this my romantic destiny? Why is there another one? The people in the Ding family are cunning and not easy to deal with. I have to be extremely careful from now on..."

Chen Baochong saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward and laughed softly:

"Brother Pei, there's still the Ten Mile Gallery to go. It's a rare chance encounter today. Why don't we talk while walking? Let's not stand here any longer. Our identities are too conspicuous and it's inappropriate."

The meaning of what Chen Baochong said was obvious. As soon as the three of them arrived, the crowded crowd suddenly disappeared, and the monks from the surrounding counties and towns dispersed. After all, the three of them had special identities, and they stood out like a crane among chickens in the Shili Pavilion, attracting attention.

Pei Yansu glanced at the burning gazes around him, smiled and nodded:
"Well, Mr. Xu, Miss Ding, since we're going the same way, why not have a chat?"

Chen Baochong invited Zhang Guanzhi and Fei Wenyu to go with him, and Fei Wenyu took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with him.

Everyone bowed and rolled up their sleeves, and set off as soon as they said they would. Ding Xuelian brought his own Lingxizi, and Chen Baochong ordered the disciples of his Jiangzuo branch. The group walked along the Ten-Li Gallery in full view of everyone, heading towards Yuchuan City.

At the Ten-Li Pavilion, Fei Wenlong and Lu Yangxian were stunned, like stone statues standing by the pavilion. They watched the six people chatting and laughing, and then led the others away in large strides. Lu Yangxian asked in confusion:

"Fei Wenlong, does this useless guy of yours, Fei Wenyu, know the Sword Saint's direct disciple? Or does he know the Jiangzuo Sect Leader? How does he know him?"

Fei Wenlong was already horrified on the spot. He watched everyone leave and said blankly:

"I, I haven't seen him for four or five years. How would I know?"

Lu Yangxian swallowed his saliva and asked quickly:
"Do you know who that man in a black robe and a beautiful woman is? Why did your uncle and two elders rush over when he arrived? He seems to be quite influential!"

Fei Wenlong looked at Xu Boyang walking away, enjoying a pleasant conversation with both sides. He was even more shocked in his heart and whispered:
"I just checked. This person is at the ninth level of Condensation Yuan like us. He must be a disciple of the Huaishang or Huaiyou Immortal Sect. Otherwise, why would he be so favored?"

Lu Yangxian turned his head and asked:
"Did you see that just now? He seems to be very familiar with your useless... Brother Wen Yu? Don't you know him?"

Fei Wenlong glanced at him gloomily, his expression was self-evident.

The two looked at each other, especially Lu Yangxian, who felt a burning pain on his face. He didn't expect that Fei Wenyu had such a wide circle of friends and knew wealthy families. For a moment, he felt very uncomfortable and uneasy.

I had a preconceived notion earlier, which is really embarrassing. Who is the waste here?

Fei Wenlong suddenly understood and sighed:
"Yang Xian, do you know why my ancestor went to so much trouble to bring Wen Yu to the banquet? It seems that you and I are still superficial and don't understand the old man's good intentions. It seems that my younger brother is really wise but foolish, hiding his true talents!"

"Brother Wenyu, Lingxizi is still here at home. Wait for me! Wenlong and I will help you bring the child over!"

Lu Yangxian's mind worked very quickly. He found a far-fetched excuse, shouted loudly, and ran over in a panic.

Seeing Ding Xuelian and Pei Yansu walking in front, chatting with each other, Xu Boyang secretly slowed down and went to find Chen Baochong.

Fei Wenyu smiled tactfully and stepped back. Seeing Lu Yangxian and Fei Wenlong catching up, he secretly called them to follow behind. Seeing them walking on thin ice like a kitten and a puppy, shrinking their necks and not daring to breathe, he couldn't help but smile, feeling extremely proud.

"Humph! You're really a dog that looks down on others. From now on, I'll see if you two dare to look down on me again."

Xu Boyang and Chen Baochong walked side by side, understood each other, and smiled at each other. This smile was like the one they showed five years ago when they were exhausted after killing the monster and standing on the mudflats of Xinyue Lake. Although five years had passed, there was still no change.

Chen Baochong sighed and laughed with his spiritual consciousness:
"Boyang, you are truly amazing. In just five years, you've leapt from the fifth level of Condensing Yuan to the foundation-building stage. This is truly astonishing. I truly admire you!"

Xu Boyang chuckled and responded with his spiritual consciousness:
"Bao Chong, your conversation today is so boring. You've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, yet you're still envious of me, a Ninth Level Condensation cultivator? Why do I feel so unhappy when I hear you say that?"

Chen Baochong was both amused and confused:
"I've only just established my immortal foundation, and I'm still a bit behind Senior Brother Pei..."

Everyone was in high spirits, chatting and walking at leisure. Unexpectedly, before they had walked a hundred feet, they heard a faint laugh in the air behind them. The sound was pleasant and melodious, like a string of wind chimes ringing:
"Junior Brother Pei is here too. He's chatting so happily with someone's little sister. Why didn't you wait for me?"

The tone of voice was not loud, and the timbre was like the fragrance of orchids in a valley, with an elegant temperament. The voice was empty, but it reached everyone's ears very clearly. Pei Yansu's face changed, and then he showed a bitter smile, paused, and turned around.

Xu Boyang, Fei Wenyu and others were secretly surprised when they heard this. The sound seemed to come from the sky, with such strong penetrating power that it hurt their eardrums. It seemed that the person who came was no ordinary person.

Looking back, to everyone's surprise, they saw three clouds floating in the blue sky like the sea.

"Huaishang... the cloud shelf on Huaishang... the Huaishang Immortal Sect is here!"

Someone said something, and the cultivators from various sects who were greeting each other in front of the pavilion looked up and were all shocked. They scattered and hurriedly made way. The cultivators from the immortal sect were superior and were afraid of bringing bad luck.

Xu Boyang looked at the appearance of the clouds and found that they were exactly the same as the ones he rode at Xinyue Lake that year, except for the color. These three clouds were white and fluffy, like three cotton balls blooming in the blue sky.

When Xu Boyang saw the clouds, his heart skipped a beat, and he was filled with anxiety and doubt.
"Is she here?"

The "she" he was talking about was naturally Qi Fuling, the Huangting feathered priest known as "Kunyu Qiushuang" who killed a group of monsters with one sword at Xinyue Lake five years ago!

In an instant, a figure flashed on the cloud shelf. It turned out to be a long-haired girl wearing a platinum Taoist robe with fluttering sleeves. Behind her was a young man in the same attire. They came down on the wind and came to the crowd in a blink of an eye.

As the two of them landed, many cultivators fell from the cloud racks behind them one after another.

Xu Boyang looked at the beautiful woman with fair skin and pretty face. She had long black hair tied behind her ears with a silver ribbon and reached down to her knees. She looked no more than twenty years old. Her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Qi Fuling's. There was also a gold cloud pattern between her eyebrows, but her expression and eyes were weaker than Qi Fuling's.

I thought to myself:
"This woman is so beautiful, just like Qi Fuling. It seems that she must be related to the owner of the lacquer workshop! I'm afraid she is her descendant!"

Chen Baochong was delighted to see this. He stepped forward, clasped his hands, and said loudly:
"What a coincidence! It turns out that Senior Sister Qi and Senior Brother Wu from Huaishang are here! Bao Chong is sorry for not welcoming them!"

In the three years since Chen Baochong established his foundation, he has often been by the side of the Feathered Master, handling many affairs of Cangwu. He had to accompany his master on trips to Qingshen, and he got to know and be familiar with the cultivators of the four sects of Qingshen, from the Feathered Master to the chief disciples of each lineage, especially the younger generation, whom he knew well.

The four sects of Qingshen Immortal Sect have outstanding leaders among the younger generation.

The man and woman floating down in front of me are one of them.

The Huaishang Yunshao sect usually keeps to themselves and rarely moves around in the martial arts world. In terms of domestic fame, it is not as famous as Jiangzuo Cangwu and Huaiyou Lingxiao, but that does not mean it is weak. There are still several Huangting feathered priests in the sect. The most famous one is Qi Fuling, known as "Kunyu Qiushuang", who was born in Huaishang.

If we were to say who is the most famous among the younger generation of the Huaishang Yunshao School, it would be the beautiful woman in front of us who looks like a fairy in a painting.

One of the chief disciples of the Huaishang Immortal Sect, the eldest daughter of the Qi family, "Bi Yanluo" Qi Lianrou!
