At night, the main hall of the Haotian Family is filled with the aroma of wine. Sitting north and facing south, the innermost seat is naturally Haotian Xuanzhen, and next to him is Hua Xu.
As for the others, they were basically sitting on long tables on both sides below. There were more than a dozen people attending the banquet, which was specially set up to thank Ye Chen. The Haotian family was still very enthusiastic.
"Come on, little friend Qin, I'll toast you."
"Senior really embarrassed this junior."
"Um, do you always wear a mask?" Just after finishing a glass of wine, Haotian Shiyu looked at Ye Chen curiously.
"I'm used to it." Ye Chen smiled slightly.
"Then why is the word "Qiu" carved on your forehead?" Haotian Shixue also asked curiously.
"Xue'er." Haotian Shiyue on the side glared at Haotian Shiyue. There seemed to be this sentence written in her beautiful eyes: Don't ask other people's secrets. This is a taboo among monks.
Haotian Shixue seemed to understand that look, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
Although Ye Chen didn't say, who were the people present? Just the word "hate" means that Ye Chen is a person with a story, and it is also a very tragic story.
"Listen to my sister, you are very powerful." Haotian Shiyu blinked at Ye Chen.
"It's just the skill of a three-legged cat." Ye Chen smiled slightly.
"That's not the skill of a three-legged cat. My sister told me, you..."
"Xuan Zhen..." Before Haotian Shiyu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hua Xu's voice on the other side.
Everyone hurriedly looked around, only to find that Haotian Xuanzhen, who had just put down his wine glass, had a mouthful of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. After wiping it away, more blood would spill out. His face turned pale and sickly. The most important thing was his aura. , sometimes sluggish, sometimes violent.
Suddenly, the faces of the people in the palace became a little ugly, with worries in their eyes.
"It doesn't matter." Haotian Xuanzhen smiled and stabilized his breath, but his face was still pale.
"Daoshang." Ye Chen here vaguely opened the Immortal Wheel Eye, and seemed to be able to see Haotian Xuanzhen's soul through the outside. Deep in the soul, there was a crack, sometimes expanding, sometimes shrinking, very It's unstable.
"Is there nothing he can do about his cultivation in the quasi-heaven realm?" Ye Chen murmured, once again seeing the horror of Dao Shang, "If things continue like this, his cultivation will definitely fall to the realm of Kongming."
"Master, Chang Tianren and the others have arrived." When everyone was worried, a disciple came in from outside.
"Please, please." Haotian Xuanzhen said hurriedly, perhaps a little excited, and a wisp of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth again.
Soon, an old man in a purple robe walked in. He was also leaning on a cane. His body was rugged. His eyes were a little red, and there were always one or two flashes of light, which gave people a very bad feeling.
"Quasi Heaven Realm." Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Fellow Taoist Changtian, you're welcome!" Everyone in the hall, including Haotian Xuanzhen, had already begun to exchange greetings.
"It's easy to talk about." Changtian smiled faintly, and then sat down at a table consciously, as if he knew that the table was meant for him.
He didn't come alone, he also brought with him a young man in white clothes who was swinging a folding fan. This guy was slender and had a soft complexion. He was quite handsome, but he had a pair of pink and phoenix eyes, and his uncle's lips were also mean. Sexy, what makes Ye Chen unbearable the most is that there is always a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
After this guy sat down, his eyes were on Haotian Shiyue and the three of them, and his eyes were full of lust without concealment.
Seeing this, Haotian Shiyue and the others could not help but turn cold, their eyes full of disgust.
"Who is he!" Ye Chen looked at Haotian Shiyue on the side.
"Li Xiuming."
"Li Xiuming?" Hearing the name, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, touched his chin, and pondered for a moment, then looked at Haotian Shiyue, "The one ranked sixty-ninth on the list of celebrities?"
"That's him." Haotian Shiyue took a deep breath, as if she particularly hated Li Xiuming, especially when she saw the lustful light in Li Xiuming's eyes, her face became even colder.
"If my Haotian family hadn't asked him for something, I wouldn't have bothered to drink at a banquet with him." Haotian Shiyue took a deep breath again.
"Even if he is the 69th on the list, he is still just a junior. Does your Haotian family have anything to ask of him?" Ye Chen took a sip of his drink and looked at Haotian Shiyue again.
"Fellow Daoist Qin doesn't know something." Haotian Shiyue said, "We want to ask him to attend the Chanyuan Alliance on behalf of our Haotian family."
"What is the Chanyuan Alliance?"
"The Chanyuan Alliance is a grand gathering held every three years in Beizhen Cangyuan." Haotian Shiyue explained, "This grand gathering is related to the division of territory of the major forces in Beizhen Cangyuan, that is, our Haotian family, Yuan The fiefdom occupied by the family and the Yin Yang Family in Beizhen Cangyuan was determined by the Chanyuan Alliance."
Having said this, Haotian Shiyue paused for a moment and continued, "This Chanyuan Alliance is a duel between the younger generation disciples of the three families. The one who wins more will naturally have more fiefdoms."
"You guys are really weird!" Ye Chen sighed, "It feels weird to divide the territory based on the strength of the younger generation."
"This is a contract made by the ancestors of the three families." Haotian Shiyue explained, "The purpose is to divide the territory in a peaceful way, so as to avoid large-scale wars. For thousands of years, our three families have followed the This contract was carried out.”
"That's what you mean!" Ye Chen touched his chin, "It is indeed a good choice to ask the Fengyun Bang disciples to help."
"There is nothing we can do about this..." Haotian Shiyue nodded, but sighed helplessly, "The only blame is that the younger generation of my Haotian family is too unbearable. For many years, our Haotian family has been It ended in a disastrous defeat. We only occupied 20% of the fiefdom in Beizhen Cangyuan, while the Yin Yang family and the Yuan family each occupied 40%. You must know that there are many spirit stone mines in Beizhen Cangyuan. The more territory there is, the more spirit stones are mined. The more stone mines there are, the more we can do for the future development of the family, we can only treat Corporal Xian."
"Then why don't you hire someone stronger?" Ye Chen looked at Haotian Shiyue doubtfully, and as he spoke, he did not forget to glance at Li Xiuming, "He is ranked sixty-ninth. It doesn't matter if he goes there or not." Win! If the other two companies also invite Fengyunbang disciples, it will not be in vain."
"The problem is that those disciples of the Fengyun List are all like lions with their mouths open!" Haotian Shiyue shook her head helplessly, "The price for inviting them is too high. Our Haotian family has gradually declined over the years. I can’t stand his torture anymore.”
"But I still feel like I'm hanging on!" Ye Chen said leisurely.
"It would be great if brother Chen Ye were here." Haotian Shiyue pursed her lips.
Ye Chen chuckled lightly, but did not answer.
"Fellow Daoist Haotian, in view of the increased difficulty of this alliance, we will have an additional condition." As the two were talking, Changtian's words sounded from the other side.
"Fellow Taoist Changtian, it's okay to say so." Haotian Xuanzhen smiled.
"That means that on the basis of paying us three million spirit stones, you will marry your three daughters to my disciple Xiu Ming."
