Chapter 178: Gathering of Talents

Yun Yi couldn’t help but shake his head; troubles just kept coming, and it seemed that this visit to Peace Villa would not be peaceful at all.

Three major forces gathered together, and the air was filled with tension. Naturally, this scene attracted other esteemed guests, and some who had arrived early also came out, heading this way.

People from the Wang Family of Xuanzhou State, Liuyun Sect, Divine Dragon Sect of Xianzhou State, and the Zhuge family all arrived early.

The ones who came were all young people, the most outstanding geniuses from various great powers, each one full of pride, their eyes almost reaching the tops of their heads.

“What’s going on? They’re causing trouble right after arriving. Although there are conflicts between our great powers, we should still be mindful of the occasion. After all, this is Peace Villa. If we break Master Qiao’s rules, it would not look good.”

A young man in a blue robe from the Wang family couldn’t help but speak. His name was Wang Long, an outstanding genius from the Wang family, with the same peak second grade of the Lingyuan Realm, an Earth Spirit Body.

“I heard that this fellow from the Yanwu family killed a disciple of the Yellow Crane Gate. Yu Tianyi is furious and wants to cause trouble.”

One person said.

“Hmph! What a shame! It’s embarrassing for one’s own disciple to be killed; that just shows weakness. Yu Tianyi is still the young master of the Yellow Crane Gate, yet he comes to the VIP area of Peace Villa to pick a fight with someone at the innate realm level. He doesn’t care about his status at all! And what about that sixth grade of the Innate Realm guy from the Yanwu family? Doesn’t the Yanwu family have anyone else? Sending a nobody to represent them is ridiculous. Xiao Ruoshui always has high standards, and seeing this today, it’s nothing special.”

Wang Long stood beside them, ridiculing and openly mocking both the Yellow Crane Gate and the Yanwu family.

Yu Tianyi only said that Yun Yi killed his subordinate but didn’t mention that the one killed was a ninth grade of the Innate Realm master, nor did he say it happened right in front of him. If that were known, he would probably become the target of mockery among those present.

“As far as I know, the Yanwu family has a Shen Hao, who is exceptionally talented and a well-known young Medicine Pill Master. This time, he came to pay respects to Master Qiao. All great powers brought renowned Medicine Pill Masters to build connections with Master Qiao, yet the Yanwu family didn’t send Shen Hao. Instead, Xiao Ruoshui brought along a second-rate disciple from nowhere, making a fool of themselves. It’s really hard to understand.”

The talented disciple of the Liuyun Sect, Ning Xiangjie, also spoke up.

“Little Yun, these guys look down on us.”

Black Wind whispered.

Yun Yi smiled but did not speak. He did not react to the cold insults, but through the conversations of these talented individuals, he finally understood the disagreements among the major factions.

At the same time, Yun Yi felt even more grateful to Xiao Ruoshui. After all, bringing someone like him, who was only at the sixth grade of the Innate Realm, to celebrate a birthday was seen as very embarrassing by others, but Xiao Ruoshui still brought him along.

Yun Yi secretly vowed that this time at Peace Villa, he must not embarrass the Yanwu family and would show the strength of the Yanwu family.

As for these prideful individuals who looked down on him, Yun Yi would use his actions to make them understand what it means to be slapped in the face.

“Alright, we came here to celebrate Master Qiao’s birthday, so let’s not break the rules of Peace Villa.”

Gou Zheng from the Yellow Crane Gate of Xianzhou State spoke up, breaking the silence. Then a glint of mischief flashed in his eyes as he flipped his hand, magically pulling out a Golden Spiritual Fruit and handing it to the girl who led them in.

“We represent a great power, so we cannot be stingy, and we should not let these young ladies serve us for nothing. This Golden Spiritual Fruit should be seen as a token of gratitude.”

Gou Zheng spoke.

His sudden action made the atmosphere in the room incredibly awkward. This guy took out a Golden Spiritual Fruit, such a precious treasure, and casually gave it away, clearly trying to embarrass the Yanwu family, but in doing so, he unknowingly embarrassed everyone present.

The Golden Spiritual Fruit is a type of heavenly fruit; it is not extremely rare, but it is still quite valuable. No one would easily give away a Golden Spiritual Fruit.

Gou Zheng wanted to show the strength of the Yellow Crane Gate, to help Yu Tianyi strike against the Yanwu family, and to give a little sting to the other powers present; he was really going for it.

“Ah! Young Master Gu, this, this is too precious, I cannot accept it.”

The girl was clearly frightened. She had not expected such a wonderful surprise. Helping to take care of geniuses from these great powers was her job, and she expected nothing in return.

“Take it, we at Yellow Crane Gate are no stingy people.”

Gou Zheng tossed the Golden Spiritual Fruit into the girl’s arms, looking quite proud.

“Thank you, young master.”

The girl was full of excitement, and the other two girls looked at her with shining eyes.

Wang Long and Ning Xiangjie were a bit better off because they arrived early; the girl who brought them had already left, so they managed to avoid embarrassment.

On the other hand, Li Wushuang from the Corpse Yin Sect, who had just brought his disciple, looked very upset. Just after he arrived, he encountered this situation, and there was a girl who had accompanied them. If he did not say something, wouldn’t he be embarrassed in front of everyone?

There are five main powers in Xianzhou State: Yellow Crane Gate, Wang family, Zhuge family, Divine Dragon Sect, and Corpse Yin Sect. The relationships between them are very tense.

Especially the Corpse Yin Sect, which is seen as a dark force and is often criticized by the other four powers. Their hatred for each other runs deep, and at this moment, Li Wushuang could not afford to bring shame to the Corpse Yin Sect.

“Miss, our treasures from the Corpse Yin Sect may not be suitable for you to practice with. Here are ten thousand lower grade spirit stones; please take them.”

Li Wushuang, unwilling to back down, took out a storage bag filled with ten thousand spirit stones and handed it directly to the girl.

The girl gasped in surprise, feeling that a wonderful gift had fallen from the sky.

The others were also amazed. Li Wushuang was indeed a strong character, and with a single move, he offered ten thousand spirit stones, which was enough to match the value of Gou Zheng’s Golden Spiritual Fruit.

“Thank you very much, Young Master Li.”

The girl continuously thanked Li Wushuang, her heart filled with joy.

“Brother Li is truly generous.”

Gou Zheng looked at Li Wushuang and said in a casual tone.

“It’s mutual. It’s rare for someone like Brother Gu to be generous.”

Li Wushuang showed no respect to Gou Zheng.

“Hmph!”

Gou Zheng snorted coldly and then ignored Li Wushuang, turning his gaze to Xiao Ruoshui and Yun Yi from the Yanwu family, as they were his main target today.

“The beautiful Xiao wouldn’t only be able to take out a spirit stone, right?”

Gou Zheng said that Li Wushuang’s items from the Corpse Yin Sect are indeed not suitable for ordinary Spirit Cultivators, so they take out spirit stones, but if the Yanwu family also follows suit and takes out spirit stones, they would be laughed at.

“Of course not, our Yanwu family is not as stingy as your Yellow Crane Gate. Would you dare to show just one Golden Spiritual Fruit?”

The one speaking is not Xiao Ruoshui, but Yun Yi.
