Chapter 156: Chapter 109: Arrival of the Yuan Monarch

Something’s not right! Chu Xuan was initially admiring the beauty, but after some closer examination, he realized that the woman in blue looked very familiar—isn’t she the "Heart-Moon Fox" Lan Cai’er?

Although she had clearly used some disguise techniques, upon closer look, he could still see traces of her original appearance, not to mention she hadn’t even changed her clothes.

At the same time, amongst the onlookers, someone whispered, "Could that woman in red be the legendary Jade-faced Rakshasa?"

The crowd was taken aback hearing this, as the name was quite renowned in the demonic path.

[Jade-faced Rakshasa] Xi Hongzhuang came from the Hehuan Sect as a sixth realm practitioner. In recent years, that Sect Leader Chen has seldom appeared, devoting himself to cultivation, leaving most affairs to this capable subordinate.

Additionally, there have been rumors that she is about to break through, which would further elevate the overall strength of the Hehuan Sect.

Of course, some dismiss this as hearsay, arguing that the Life and Death Three Profound Realms are not so easily broken through, most likely just rumors spread by demonic cultivators to elevate their own status.

"If that’s the case, are these two cultivators from the Hehuan Sect? How dare they openly attend the Hundred Flower Banquet?"

"Not exactly openly. It seems they have disguised themselves somewhat, but it’s only enough to fool the unknowing."

The two stunning female cultivators did not mind the gazes of the crowd and simply headed towards the mountain gate archway.

Suddenly, the lady in blue turned around, gestured towards Chu Xuan’s direction, and seemed to say something to her companion.

The lady in red also looked over, showing an interested expression, and gave Chu Xuan a sweet smile, truly deserving of the phrase "a smile that captivates hundreds of charms," leaving countless men enthralled.

Chu Xuan had not expected that Lan Cai’er could spot him; it was too late to hide, so he remained indifferent, choosing to ignore Xi Hongzhuang’s "greeting."

The crowd was very surprised by this. Could it be that this person has a connection with the Jade-faced Rakshasa?

Even Zhao Daniu looked at Chu Xuan with new suspicions and uncertainty.

First, he offended the female cultivators of Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace, and now he’s involved with those from the Hehuan Sect. Could he be from the demonic path?

Luckily, those two soon headed into the valley. The woman in red flashed an invitation and entered without Ye Shiyu stopping them, sparking another wave of speculation and admiration for Wuyou Valley’s audacity.

Some cultivators found it normal, as Wuyou Valley was inherently a neutral sect.

Some might think that a neutral sect is disliked by both sides, wouldn’t the righteous and demonic paths unite against them?

But not everything in the world is black and white; there is always a gray area.

First, if all neutral sects united, they would form a significant force; second, they could act as a buffer or mediator between the righteous and demonic paths.

Certain private transactions might be handled by them; it’s not as though the righteous and demonic paths could trade directly, as that would not look good if discovered.

...

A group of guests had just arrived when another group came unexpectedly, and this time, it was the demon clan!

A strong pressurizing aura slowly approached, gradually shrouding Wuyou Valley in shadow, as if night had fallen.

The onlookers looked up and cried out in surprise, seeing a dragon-headed giant turtle slowly swimming down from the firmament layer. Its size was like a mountain, and if it were to descend, who knows how many would be hurt.

Of course, this was just an illusion. The creature was swimming calmly, and from its back, four women gracefully descended.

They were demons who had taken human form, and it was impossible to discern their original species, but each was exceptionally beautiful.

The leader, a mature woman with a white muffler, boasted enchanting looks and a well-proportioned figure, exuding a captivating charm akin to a mature woman. In terms of allure, she was not much less than the Jade-faced Rakshasa.

Appreciating batch after batch like this, Chu Xuan sighed to himself:

I finally understand why someone organized the Hundred Flower Banquet in the first place—nothing else, just watching is pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Daniu murmured, "I never expected this time even the demon clan to be attracted to participate. This is truly unprecedented; the Hundred Flower Banquet is getting larger and larger in scale."

At this moment, the dragon-headed giant turtle, which had been lazily moving in the sky, suddenly seemed startled and fled at a speed four to five times faster than its arrival.

At the same time, the demon women about to enter the valley were surprised to see a large group of cultivators fly out of the valley, with at least seventy percent being female.

The leader was a beautiful woman of noble and elegant temperament, dressed in a light purple palace dress embroidered with seasonal flowers, wearing a gold hairpin in her dark hair. Her appearance was lovely, with bright eyes full of light, and she had a graceful figure.

Many instantly recognized her as the renowned Lady Baihua, one of the six esteemed individuals of Wuyou Valley.

It could be said that Wuyou Valley’s gradual rise was thanks in no small part to her.

She wielded considerable influence within the sect, and although Wuyou Valley had no "headmaster," she essentially acted as one in the sense of an uncrowned king.

Seeing Lady Baihua leading most of the guests out, everyone was shocked. What had happened?

The demon women were a bit tense, fearing that these human cultivators were about to turn hostile.

Fortunately, they soon realized Lady Baihua was leading the group past the mountain gate archway, landing one by one, looking towards the northern sky, as if preparing to welcome some significant guest.
