As the lanterns began to light up, the Moon Invitation Tower was already filled with people.Those who came to partic.i.p.ate in the Emperor Dao Palace"s monthly feast were not only the students of the Emperor Dao Palace, but also many officials and dignitaries. They want to find outstanding students to cultivate, which is a form of investment.
The position of the Nine Alliance of the Emperor Dao Palace was always placed at the most conspicuous place. As the most outstanding student representative of the Emperor Dao Palace.
When Ruan Yue led Ning Wufeng and the rest over, they found that there weren"t any luxurious tables or chairs in the Heavenly Alliance. There were only a few rough little benches.
As for the other major sects outside of the Nine Alliance, they were all sitting on high chairs, pretending to be very serious in their attention.
In comparison, the Heavenly Alliance"s position was even more awkward.
Humiliation?
Ning Wufeng frowned. Ruan Yue"s expression immediately changed. "What"s going on?"
She pulled over a student in charge and asked with a stern voice.
That student was from the alliance. He looked at Ruan Yue coldly as he said, "Why are you making such a ruckus. If you don"t want to do it, get out of here."
What an arrogant tone.
This student looked like a newbie, how dare he speak to an older student like Ruan Yue in such a manner?
Ruan Yue"s beautiful eyes revealed a trace of murderous intent. Her hands flew out and her black hair intertwined as it instantly enveloped that student.
That student didn"t even have the strength to retaliate as he was tightly wrapped by his black hair. In an instant, he was strangled to the point where he couldn"t even breathe. His complexion changed greatly.
"Rao..." "Spare me!" He did not expect the declining Heavenly Alliance members to be so strong. He immediately tried to explain, "This … "This is our boss" decision."
"Your boss?" Ruan Yue"s pupils constricted. The aura coming from her Seven Apertures Aperture instantly shot out, scaring the student until he was trembling all over.
"Yo, the people from the Heavenly Alliance are so angry." He actually bullied a new student. "
He hadn"t thought that it would be that fellow, Bai Yunfei, who was sitting not far away with his legs crossed and a mocking expression on his face.
"Shut up." Ruan Yue"s complexion darkened. Her black hair trembled and a green light shot out, enveloping Bai Yunfei.
Bai Yunfei still had a cold smile on his face. He waved his hand and released a white light, instantly blocking Ruan Yue"s attack. It was as if her black hair was locked on his body, making it difficult for her to enter even half a foot deep.
Ruan Yue"s pupils constricted. The black silk on her hand was made from the famous Heaven Twisting Silk, the silk of the ice silkworm. It was so soft that it was actually blocked by Bai Yunfei"s light hand.
A look of embarra.s.sment and annoyance immediately appeared on her face. She wanted to attack again.
However, he was stopped by Ning Wufeng. A faint smile appeared on Ning Wufeng"s face. He shook his head lightly and said, "Senior Sister, don"t be angry."
Ruan Yue looked at Ning Wufeng"s calm appearance and couldn"t help the anger in her heart slightly dissipating. She frowned as she looked at him.
Ning Wufeng walked out, glancing lightly at Bai Yunfei.
Bai Yunfei did not expect this unknown brat to dare to look at him with such contempt. This was Lawless!
He slapped the table and got up from his seat.
Immediately, he heard a sinister voice beside him, "Ning Wu Feng, aren"t you a new student? "How dare you, dare you challenge the master of the White Cloud Hall?"
The one who spoke was Fang Yingcai. He spoke with a strange tone, not caring about the big issue and wanting to start a conflict between the Heavenly Alliance and the White Cloud Hall. When that time came, he would stand out as the embodiment of justice and take Ruan Yue"s heart in one fell swoop.
Ning Wufeng looked at Fang Yingcai as if he was looking at an idiot, then he turned to look at the student in charge and said, "If that"s the case, then our Heavenly Alliance will not be partic.i.p.ating in today"s invitation ceremony."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out with Ruan Yue and the others.
Not partic.i.p.ate?
The lack of any of the Nine Alliance members could not be considered an invitation to the monthly feast. Without the Heavenly Alliance, no matter how brilliant today"s monthly invitation was, it couldn"t be counted.
The expression on the face of the student changed drastically. He wanted to humiliate the members of the Heavenly Alliance, but he did not expect Ning Wufeng to ask him to leave immediately.
If this wasn"t the case, he would have to take a great responsibility if he didn"t manage to invite the monthly feast.
"How laughable, you were the one who said that you could leave at any time?" Bai Yunfei coldly said.
Ning Wufeng"s eyes swept over him, and the two people"s gazes intersected, emitting a powerful sound in the air. Bai Yunfei"s expression suddenly changed, and he was greatly shocked in his heart.
How could this be?
How could a freshman be so strong!
He did not expect that the aura Ning Wufeng exuded was not inferior to his, and his face immediately darkened.
"What"s going on?" Now that the situation was at an impa.s.se, several members of the alliance walked out. They didn"t think that it would be Situ Yue.
After Situ Ye died, this fellow took advantage of the opportunity to hug his leg and become the head of the Imperial Alliance.
The student told him the whole story in a low voice. Situ Yue"s heart skipped a beat. She didn"t think that this little brat Ning Wufeng would be so domineering.
There was only one year left before the Heavenly Alliance collapsed. Would he still dare to act presumptuously at the monthly invitation ceremony?
His face immediately changed as he purposely rebuked them, "Why are you guys so careless? Hurry and arrange a place for the Heavenly Alliance"s brothers. "
The student quickly nodded his head and led Ning Wufeng and the others over.
Staring at their silhouettes, Situ Yue"s eyes flashed with a sharp light. "After tonight, I"ll see how you guys continue to act so arrogantly."
Following which, he walked up to Bai Yunfei and muttered a few sentences in a low voice.
It was Fang Yingcai who had foiled his chance of being the hero in saving the beauty. The corners of his mouth twitched as he coldly snorted and returned to his seat.
Everyone sat down.
The people of the Imperial Alliance gathered around Situ Shan and a white-robed youth as they walked over.
Situ Qun!
Ruan Yue said softly in front of Ning Wufeng, "This person is Situ Bu Fan. I didn"t expect him to be the one inviting me for the luncheon."
Situ Buqun"s face was just as handsome, to the point that it even seemed a bit feminine. His gaze swept across the field lightly. Everywhere his gaze pa.s.sed, everyone stood up and greeted him with an excited expression.
Situ Buqun was ranked fourth on the Earth Proclamation. He was one of the only three ranked within the top 10 of the Emperor Dao Palace. He was extremely strong, and he was also the eldest son of one of the four great families.
Suddenly, Situ Buqun"s gaze fell onto the side of the Heavenly Alliance. A dark expression appeared on his handsome face. Even after it had faded, no one noticed.
The members of the Heavenly Alliance seemed to have not heard his gaze. Only the five of them remained seated.
Situ Buqun snorted lightly. The hearts of everyone present sank as they looked at the five members of the Heavenly Alliance with sympathy.
Even though their alliance was weak today, they still dared to offend Situ Buqun. It was likely that after tonight, there would no longer be any Heavenly Alliance in the Emperor Dao Palace.
Situ Bu Fang and the others sat down. Situ Shan walked up to the front of the stage and indicated that they should prepare to go up first.
What Ning Wufeng did not expect was that the etiquette was actually Xiao Ziyi.
The violet-clothed man leisurely walked with light steps. His figure was beautiful and had curves in it. When Ning Wufeng heard the crowd in the square suck in a deep breath, countless greedy gazes turned towards Xiao Ziyi.
Xiao Ziyi raised his chin and smiled, appearing extremely charming.
Gudong, gudong, the sound of people swallowing their saliva came from all around.
Then, someone shouted, "Lady Ziyi, I like you."
"Lady Ziyi, you"re so beautiful."
The atmosphere instantly became lively.
Ning Wufeng couldn"t help revealing a smile. He didn"t expect that this girl"s reputation in the capital would be so high.
Xiao Ziyi faintly smiled and said in a clear voice: "Thank you for everyone"s love for Ziyi. It is my honour to be able to host the invitation ceremony. Tonight, the invitation ceremony will definitely bring light to our humble dwelling."
The crowd instantly quieted down. Xiao Ziyi"s beautiful eyes darted about, and Ning Wufeng suddenly noticed that she had spotted him. He nodded with a smile, indicating her to come over. Xiao Ziyi"s beautiful eyes revealed a strange light.
At this time, all the students around Ning Wufeng became excited.
"Lady Ziyi is actually smiling at me." One of them revealed an expression of infatuation, his face full of satisfaction.
"Nonsense, she was obviously smiling at me." Someone on the side slapped his head indignantly and cursed.
"He"s looking at me." If not for the public, the two of them might have started fighting.
"The invitation to the monthly feast has been held for more than a thousand years. The rules were becoming more and more mature. According to the rules of the previous timeline, the first night would be the night the Nine Alliance would fight. "All the groups present here can issue a challenge to the Alliance of the Nine, and the victor can take his place." Xiao Ziyi coldly said.
This annual battle for the position of the Nine Alliance was the most thrilling. If the student body of the Emperor Dao Palace could take the place of one of the Nine Alliance, their name would definitely be recorded in the annals of history. It would be an unparalleled glory.
"Alright!"
Suddenly, cheers broke out from below the stage and many people were excited.
After the crowd quieted down slightly, Xiao Ziyi continued: "The first night"s betting will begin right now."
As he spoke, a waiter pushed up a crystal mirror, which was as clear as jade.
"During the match, everyone can put in an additional bet at any time. The result of the additional bet will be shown on the Fulfillment Realm. The winner will receive 99% of the losing side"s gambling capital according to the amount of bet placed. Our Moon Inviting Tower will receive 1% of the dividends. " Xiao Ziyi said crisply.
"Miss Ziyi, we understand all of this, let"s quickly begin." Someone below couldn"t wait any longer and hurriedly urged.
Xiao Ziyi immediately smiled lightly and said, "Since everyone understands, then let the monthly invitation ceremony begin."
As they spoke, many female servants wearing flowery clothes walked through the crowd and brought out rows after rows of delicious foods to be placed in front of everyone.
As the drum beat, the heat also reached its peak in an instant.
Ruan Yue looked at Ning Wufeng"s gaze and snickered at Xiao Ziyi, "Junior Brother, do you have a opinion on this witch?"
"How could that be? With a beauty like Senior Sister by his side, Junior Brother would naturally not dare to overlook her. " Ning Wufeng laughed.
As he spoke, a person leapt onto the stage.
Immediately, the drumbeats became hurried. The person said in a clear voice, "Challenge the Heavenly Alliance in the lower section of the training hall."
In the first match, the momentum of the fight was pushing against the Heavenly Alliance. Furthermore, Lin Wu was also a person with some reputation in the palace of learning. With a swift sword in his hand, his power was shocking.
Everyone understood that if today"s alliance was weak and became soft tofu, everyone would want to have a bite.
At this moment, someone in the audience coldly mocked, "You think you can challenge the Heavenly Alliance?"
With a light snort, a figure flew onto the arena.
