Overriding the Heaven

Then, he led everyone to the royal court.    

Everyone fell silent when they saw this.    

They did not dare to say anything.    

There was nothing they could do. The patriarch of the Xiaoyao Celests Palace had killed Elder Yan Jiu in public. This was too shocking. What could they say?    

They did not dare to say anything!    

They did not dare to say anything.    

The patriarch of the Xiaoyao Palace could tell that everyone was being reserved. He smiled and said, “Do you know what the main purpose of this banquet is? Just say it.”    

They understood that the patriarch of the Xiaoyao Celestia Palace wanted to close the gap between them. In order to show off in front of the patriarch of the Xiaoyao Palace, they thought about it and someone spoke up one after another.    

“I don’t know… but the number of people who are invited is limited! For example, among us disciples, there are many who can reach immortal-level. There are far more than a hundred of them. Oh, there are more than ninety-nine of them! However, there are only ninety-nine immortal-level cultivators who have been invited. There is still a person who has reached Life-Seizing Realm! This is very strange.”    

“However, it can be seen that there are many powerful cultivators in our Xiaoyao Celestial Palace. They only gave us this little quota. This means that there are other powerful cultivators who have been invited… They are probably people who can compete with us! Anyway, our Xiaoyao Celestial Palace cannot lose face!”    

"That's right, Palace Master, don't worry. We will definitely fight for the honor of the Xiao Yao Immortal Palace! This time, we are destined to make our Xiao Yao Immortal Palace famous... For this, we are fully prepared. Once we go to the grand gathering, our Xiao Yao Immortal Palace will be the world!"    

"This time, not only will there be nine disciples going, but there will also be other geniuses... Haha, among them, there will also be someone like Chu Yan. I feel that our Xiao Yao Immortal Palace has a very high chance of winning! I am not bragging, but I am telling the truth. I am very confident in our Xiao Yao Immortal Palace!"    

"Don't worry, Palace Master! Even if we have to risk our lives, we will not let the Xiao Yao Immortal Palace lose face. I can swear on my life! If we cannot make a name for ourselves this time, I will not return to the Xiao Yao Immortal Palace. I am telling the truth. What are you laughing at?"    

"I'm not laughing at all. I really am not laughing at all... I just feel that our Xiao Yao Immortal Palace can do whatever we want. As for whether we are doing our best or not, we don't need to do our best. Our Xiao Yao Immortal Palace is also worthy of being the number one!"    

...    

As the crowd chatted and laughed, the atmosphere finally eased up.    

Chu Yan did not mind them mentioning him. Because with the Palace Master of the Xiao Yao Immortal Palace here, they could not cause any trouble.    

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased up, the Palace Master of the Xiao Yao Palace nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Actually, the purpose of this grand gathering is to select some young talents."    

"The selection of young talents? As expected!"    

Everyone was enlightened and their blood boiled!    

Although this result was also within their expectations, or else why would they gather so many people to go to the Royal Palace? Was it just to eat and drink?    

However, now that the Palace Master of the Unfettered Immortal Palace had personally confirmed it, they could not help but feel excited.    

"Although that's the case, you guys probably didn't expect the secret of the selection of young talents, right?"    

The Palace Master of the Unfettered Immortal Place smiled and said.    

Everyone shook their heads.    

Not to mention that they really didn't know, they were not clear about it. Even if they knew, they wouldn't be so disappointed!    

Wasn't it better to give face to the Unfettered Immortal Palace's Palace Master?    

"Oh? What kind of secret is it... This makes me a little curious. Although I have understood all the mysteries in the Great Sage's mouth, I also feel that this Immortal World is strange. I feel that everything is strange and abnormal."    

"However, now that I have specially recruited people to go, is it a good thing or a bad thing? Oh, I am now Lord Chu Yan's maid. I definitely feel that the good thing will be even better! Lord Chu Yan, don't misunderstand me... I know that you more or less know what I think!"    

"I swear, I am absolutely loyal to Lord Chu Yan. This is undeniable! I can even swear to my Dao heart! This way, Lord Chu Yan, you can trust me... Eh? Are you really not spying on my thoughts? Are you serious?"    

"..."    

Fierce Fiend was also a little confused!    

From her point of view, Chu Yan was her master. It was not strange that he could know everything about her.    

The problem was that Chu Yan might not be so free to do so. He would be looking at what she was doing all day long.    

So, the question was, should she guard against Chu Yan or not?    

It was really a dilemma!    

Chu Yan did not know what Fierce Fiend was thinking about, nor did he want to know. However, Chu Yan had a feeling that... the matter that the palace master of the Xiao Yao Immortal Palace was about to mention was probably not a good thing!    

Sure enough, the palace master of the Xiao Yao Palace did not keep him in suspense. He smiled and said, "It's about to reveal the secret of the previous dynasty!"    

"As I thought!"    

Chu Yan narrowed his eyes and thought.    

He had already said it. At this critical moment, it would be strange if he said that he was going to select some young talents.    

It would definitely not be a good thing.    

Now that he saw it, it was indeed related to the secret of the previous dynasty!    

This made Chu Yan feel a little worried.    

Because many things were too coincidental!    

Some things were too coincidental, so it was impossible for them to be a good thing!    

This had always been the case since the ancient times.    

"However, let's just wait and see... In fact, I knew from the appearance of the Demon Emperor and Human Emperor last time that things were definitely not that simple. The Demon Emperor was said to have fallen for many years, but he suddenly appeared! The Human Emperor is even more so. The Divine Dragon has always been mysterious!"    

"Right now, two of them have appeared at the same time. If there is nothing wrong, then there must be something wrong! It's just that such a big thing, something that might even overturn the entire Immortal World, I never thought of it. The last time the Demon Clan retaliated, it was probably just the appetizer. Their goal is probably the same as Dynasty!"    

"They are all for the secret of the previous Dynasty... Could it be that the current Dynasty is not as legitimate as before? They haven't obtained all of the things from the previous Dynasty. They are the legitimate ones, but they are not legitimate enough!"    

...    

Chu Yan suddenly thought of a lot of things.    

He had no choice but to think about it. Now, he was going to go with them. If there were any dangers, he would have to prepare for them in advance so that he would not be caught off guard.
