  At the same time, Lu Feng, Yang Xiu, Qin Zhen and the rest had also caught sight of the newcomers. Qin Zhen was the first to react, and mockingly said, “Oh! You guys are also rich enough to come here?”

  Zhao Kun and the rest were immediately angered by his mocking tone.

  “You guys can come, so why can’t we?” Zhou Yuan walked forward, his expression indifferent as he glanced at Qin Zhen.

  This glance made Qin Zhen tremble slightly as he recalled the scene where he had been suppressed by Zhou Yuan. The former’s expression immediately turned somewhat ugly, but he did not dare to speak again.

  Zhou Yuan paid him no attention, merely looking towards Song Wanxi and the rest as he said, “Come on, let’s go in.”

  Although the presence of these guys made them rather uncomfortable, retreating at this point would only make the other party more overbearing and arrogant.

  Under Zhou Yuan’s lead, the group also surged into the building, finding a table across from the Shengzhou disciples, before seating themselves.

  The two groups sat opposite each other, making the atmosphere in the Hundred Fragrances House turn rather strange.

  Lu Feng’s eyes turned a little colder as his gaze clashed with Zhou Yuan’s, sparks flying.

  Thud!

  While stuck in the strange atmosphere, the sound of a cup slamming into the table was suddenly heard. Zhao Kun and the rest immediately looked over, only for their expression to change slightly.

  They had seen a girl in black seated beside Lu Feng. She was quite the gorgeous specimen, but her eyes were filled with an icy haughtiness.

  The most eye-catching thing, however, was the exquisite golden sash around her slender waist.

  Lu Xuanyin, an inner mountain gold sash disciple.

  Lu Xuanyin was expressionless, staring at her cup as her cold voice sounded in the Hundred Fragrances House, “Since when does the Hundred Fragrances House allow just anyone to come in? This is really affecting my appetite.”

  Zhao Kun, Qiao Xiu and the rest turned red with embarrassment and anger after hearing the words that were clearly directed at them. Rage filled their eyes, but none of them dared to retort due to Lu Xuanyin’s status as an inner mountain gold sash disciple.

  Zhou Yuan’s eyes were calm as he offhandedly asked, “Since when does a gold sash disciple manage the rules of the Hundred Fragrances House?”

  Upon hearing that Zhou Yuan actually dared to retort, Lu Xuanyin’s eyes hardened as she frostily said, “As expected of an outer mountain disciple, doesn’t even know proper behaviour.”

  She looked towards the manager of the place and said, “Manager Liu, I’ll be booking the entire place today. Get these eyesores to leave so they won’t keep ruining my mood.”

  The middle-aged man called manager Liu bitterly complained in his heart. He knew that Lu Xuanyin was well liked in the Sword Cometh Peak, and was not someone a manager of the Hundred Fragrances House like himself could afford to offend.

  Hence, he could only turn his gaze towards Zhou Yuan’s group.

  Zhou Yuan frowned, staring at manager Liu as he said, “I’ve never heard that the Hundred Fragrances House can chase other disciples out.”

  Manager Liu could only let out a bitter laugh.

  Liu Xuanyin suddenly stood up, crossing her arms before her chest as she looked towards Zhou Yuan and the rest with ridicule and toyingly said, “Don’t say that your senior sister is too overbearing, you may be able to stay if you want. As long as one of you can receive a single strike from my sword, I will happily pay all of your expenses here today.”

  “But if you don’t have the courage, you’d better leave soon so as not to spoil my appetite.” By this point, her words were filled with iciness.

  Zhao Kun and the rest had ugly expressions. Lu Xuanyin was an inner mountain gold sash disciple, someone whose strength far surpassed outer mountain disciples like themselves. Even a fourth layer Alpha-Origin would be hard pressed to receive a single attack from her sword.

  Lu Feng smiled faintly as he watched, secretly praising Lu Xuanyin inside. If the other party dared to accept, he or she would surely be crippled. If they did not, it would be a devastating blow to their morale, making it very difficult for them to bring out their full power during the peak selection ceremony tomorrow.

  Zhou Yuan’s expression darkened somewhat. Lu Xuanyin’s plan was truly disgusting. The peak selection ceremony was literally tomorrow, and she could still come up with such a tactic to demoralise them.

  He may perhaps be able to receive Lu Xuanyin’s attack, but did not plan to take such a risk, because he knew that she was certainly waiting for him to take the bait.

  However, Zhou Yuan’s expression remained calm.

  Qiao Xiu secretly inquired, “Young brother Yuan, what do we do?”

  Zhou Yuan’s expression was cool and collected. “We wait.”

  “Wait.”

  Qiao Xiu was taken aback, completely confused.

  “Oh? You guys looked so proud earlier, why have you now become akin to ostriches who have stuck their heads in the sand?” Lu Xuanyin sneered as she gazed upon the crowd.

  The Shengzhou disciples immediately laughed loudly in accompaniment.

  Zhao Kun and the rest sat uncomfortably in their seats, anger and restraining fear interchanging on their faces as they looked towards Zhou Yuan.

  While they were waiting for Zhou Yuan’s decision, a cold, lazy sounding voice sounded from the entrance of the Hundred Fragrances Pavilion.

  "Are you the one who wants to play?"

  The place fell silent, every gaze gathering at the entrance a split second later.

  An amazingly pretty figure gracefully stood at the door, a little creature in her arms. Her fine black hair hung down from her head, while a pair of clear eyes seemed to contain an indifference towards all things.

  The moonlight fell upon her, making her seem akin to a fairy from the moon palace. Even someone as beautiful as Lu Xuanyin seemed to lose all color before this goddess.

  Her clear eyes gazed towards the slightly rigid Lu Xuanyin as a nonchalant voice sounded once again,

  "What are we playing? Let me accompany you."

  Chapter 263 Yaoyao Takes Action

  A clear, indifferent voice sounded from the entrance of the Hundred Fragrances House, causing the interior to fall silent. Numerous gazes turned to the doors, only to be glued to the moon fairy like figure standing there, unable to shift away.

  Every gaze had been instantly bespelled, amazement flitting across their eyes.

  Zhao Kun, Qiao Xiu and the rest were also unable to turn away, while even a girl like Song Wanxi could not help but remark under her breath, “So beautiful!”

  They had naturally recognized the person that had appeared at the entrance. It was Yaoyao.

  However, they could only bitterly smile at the words Yaoyao had spoken, words that could only possible peaceful resolve this matter...

  “Little junior sister Yao is too fierce.” Zhao Kun forced a smile. Given Lu Xuanyin’s character, there was no longer any hope of peacefully ending this dispute.

  “Your mother, are we that afraid of them. I refuse to believe that a single inner mountain disciple can so willfully bully the outer mountain disciples.” Said Qiao Xiu through gritted teeth.

  Everyone else nodded one after another.

  As for Zhou Yuan, he merely grinned with a calm face. He had not shown any panic earlier when Lu Xuanyin was being overbearing because he had already specifically gotten Shen Wanjin to invite Yaoyao over.

  Of course, his goal was to let Yaoyao also join in the fun. Lu Xuanyin stirring up trouble for them had been out of his expectations.

  “Since big sis Yaoyao has made her timely arrival, there is no need for us to interfere in this matter.” Said Zhou Yuan as he stared at the group, a rather mysterious smile hanging from the corners of his mouth.

  Zhao Kun and the rest looked at each other, unable to understand. They had never seen Yaoyao�
��s abilities before. The latter normally did not even attend the Genesis Mountain training sessions, hiding away in Zhou Yuan’s little house to study Genesis Runes instead. Hence, Yaoyao was extremely mysterious in the eyes of many disciples.

  As such, they were unable to estimate how powerful she was, which was also why her name had never appeared in the ten great outer mountain disciples rankings.

  However, Lu Xuanyin was an inner mountain gold sash disciple, her strength at the very minimum reaching the six layer Alpha-Origin stage. Such power was not something any of the outer mountain disciples that had only recently joined the Cangxuan Sect could match.

  No matter how formidable Yaoyao was, she could not possibly exchange blows with Lu Xuanyin, right?

  Hence, all of them felt somewhat awkward in response to the nonchalance Zhou Yuan was showing.

  By the door, Yaoyao slowly walked in at this moment, and arrived beside Zhou Yuan and gang. Her clear eyes first swept towards Zhou Yuan, still caressing Tuntun as she said, “I just knew that there won’t be anything good from your invitation.”

  Zhou Yuan hurriedly gave her his seat as he helplessly said, “I really wanted to invite you to join us for a gathering so you won’t be too bored by yourself.”

  Yaoyao shot a look at Zhou Yuan, staring at him for a long time before withdrawing her gaze as if letting him off the hook this time. She elegantly seated herself on Zhou Yuan’s chair, before her clear eyes swept across the table, immediately causing Zhao Kun, Qiao Xiu and the rest to turn meek.

  Her presence was far too overwhelming.

  Cold sweat appeared everyone’s backs. Compared to Lu Xuanyin’s haughty aura, Yaoyao’s was able to make them truly feel suppressed.

  Such pressure could not be described in words, but it made them feel that they should never ever anger her.

  As Yaoyao walked in, Lu Feng’s side gradually returned to their senses. Numerous disciples still cast their gazes towards her, unable to conceal the amazement and astonishment in their eyes.

  Even Lu Feng’s breath was taken away, surprise coloring his eyes.

  The only one that fully regained her wits was Lu Xuanyin. Her pretty face instantly twisted, jealousy flitting across her eyes as she looked towards Yaoyao. The latter’s appearance and aura truly made her feel a sense of inferiority she had never experienced before.

  Such feelings made Lu Xuanying’s complexion turn steely green with rage.

  “A mere outer mountain disciples dares to spout such words before me?” Lu Xuanyin icily stared at Yaoyao, contempt rising from the corners of her mouth as she continued, “Are you certain you want to receive a strike from my sword? I will not go easy on you because you’re a girl. If you pretty face ends up being accidentally cut up by my sword, don’t come threatening me with death later on.”

  “Receive a strike from your sword?”

  Yaoyao gently stroked Tuntun as she swept an indifferent glance towards Lu Xuanyin. “That’s not interesting at all…”

  She reached forward and picked up a cup, gazing at the wine within it as she offhandedly suggested, “How about this, I have a certain Genesis Rune. If you’re able to neutralize it, I will admit defeat and let you do whatever you want to me.”

  “Oh?” Lu Xuanyin’s eyes narrowed, staring at Yaoyao as she sneered. “How arrogant. There are not many in the Cangxuan Sect who dare to say such words to me!”

  “So how about it?” Said Yaoyao while holding her cup.

  Lu Xuanyin’s hand slowly tightened around her sword as she mockingly answered, “Since you want to humiliate yourself, I will naturally fulfill your wish.”

  Thud!

  The cup in Yaoyao’s hand suddenly slammed into the table, causing the liquid within to leap into the air, transforming into countless droplets.

  A Heavenly Yuan Brush appeared in Yaoyao’s hand. Light flickered at its tip as it seemingly transformed into a series of after images, drawing numerous complex trajectories in the air.

  The countless floating drops of alcohol gradually weaved into a complicated Genesis Rune that rapidly took shape above Yaoyao.

  “Go.”

  With a casual final flick of her brush, the Genesis Rune abruptly shot forward as the surrounding Genesis Qi swiftly converged towards it.

  The liquid Genesis Rune rapidly expanded as it took in Genesis Qi, eventually transforming into a giant water dragon under the many shocked and frightened gazes.

  The dragon’s body was covered in ancient and complex patterns. A wild and violent dragon roar thundered.

  Rumble!

  The roaring water dragon seemed to contain endless power as it charged towards Lu Xuanyin.

  The instant the Genesis Rune water dragon appeared, Lu Xuanyin’s expression abruptly changed as shock flashed in her eyes, clearly realizing how powerful this Genesis Rune of Yaoyao’s was.

  “This woman… to think that she would be so astonishingly masterful in the art of Genesis Runes?!”

  Lu Xuanyin’s heart churned with emotion as her expression turned exceedingly grave.

  She tightly gripped her sword, and a split second later, its sharp blade abruptly left its sheath.

  Shiing!

  “Autumn Moon Swordplay, Moon Flash!”

  With a stern shout abruptly rang out from Lu Xuanyin’s mouth. Everyone present felt a sword flash past as if it was moonlight, even space itself faintly quivering under its blade.

  Moonlight like sword Qi ferociously slashed downwards along with a chillingly sharp and deadly aura.

  In the face of the ferociously intimidating water dragon, Lu Xuanyin did not dare to delay, immediately unleashing a ruthless attack.

  Pch!

  The banisters in restraint disintegrated, the remaining stumps smooth as a mirror.

  In the face of this sword Qi, even the expressions of Zhou Yuan, Lu Feng and the rest changed slightly. No matter how anyone below the below the fifth layer Alpha-Origin were to defend, they would very likely be seriously injured by this strike.

  Lu Xuanyin may be haughty, but her strength was indeed that of a true-blue golden sash disciple.

  Under the many horrified gazes of the disciples, the moonlight like sword Qi sliced past, smashing directly into the roaring water dragon Genesis Rune.

  Pchlah!

  The two forces clashed as an astonishing Genesis Qi shockwave violently unfurled.

  However, when the sword light passed through, everyone saw the water dragon being cut apart.

  The sword light continued on its path, piercing the wall as it vanished into the night.

  Liquid with a strong alcohol smell fell in the Hundred Fragrances House.

  The expressions of Zhao Kun, Song Wanxi and gang changed slightly. Yaoyao’s Genesis Rune water dragon seemed to have been cut apart and scattered. Lu Xuanyin’s sword Qi was unimaginable powerful.

  From the looks of it, Lu Xuanyin had still taken the upper hand in their exchange.

  The crowd on Lu Feng’s side had already burst out into laughter, clearly already bathing in their victory.

  Lu Xuanyin likewise grasped her sword as she looked down from above at Yaoyao, a toying sensation growing from the corners of her smile as she said, “Although you excel in Genesis Runes, you were still unable to withstand my sword.”

  “Didn’t you say earlier that I get to do whatever I want to you?”

  Yaoyao gazed upon Lu Xuanyin, who was so certain that victory was already in her grasp. The former’s expression was still as indifferent as before as she said, “You seem to believe that you’ve already won.”

  “Have I not?” Lu Xuanyin sneered, under the impression that Yaoyao was being stubborn.

  However, her expression abruptly changed the instant her words sounded. She had just realized that the spreading water vapor had landed on her body without her noticing.

  The water vapor instantly solidified, turning into water snakes that tightly bounded her hands and legs.

  The Genesis Qi in Lu Xuanyin’s body instantly
erupted with the intent of breaking these water snakes. However, glowing runes suddenly emerged on the surface of the water snakes. When Lu Xuanyin’s Genesis Qi came into contact with the runes, it swiftly shrank back as if being sealed.

  Water wet her clothes, exposing Lu Xuanyin’s lovely figure.

  The laughter of Lu Feng and the other Shengzhou disciple came to an abrupt halt like ducks who had been grabbed by the neck. Every one of their expressions became a brilliant sight to behold as they gazed at the bounded Lu Xuanyin.

  Their eyes were still filled with disbelief, unable to imagine how a golden sash disciple like Lu Xuanyin would be so easily subdued by an outer mountain disciple.

  Their terrified gazes turned towards the outrageously pretty Yaoyao as their bodies began to tremble faintly.

  Yaoyao paid no attention to their gazes, merely raising her eyes and looking towards the frantically struggling Lu Xuanyin as an indifferent voice sounded in the building.

  “It seems that you’ve lost…”

  Chapter 264 Shock and Awe

  Water vapor tinged with the smell of alcohol spread in the Hundreds Fragrances House. The entire place, however, was deathly silent.

  Terror colored the eyes of Lu Feng, Yang Xiu, Qin Zhen and gang as they gazed upon the sight of Lu Xuanyin being bounded, the cups in their hands slowly falling, crashing into the ground below.

  No one had expected Lu Xuanyin to lose!

  Lu Feng’s complexion was white with fear as he mumbled in disbelief, “How can this be?!”

  The others looked towards Yaoyao as if she was a ghost, gazes filled with horror. One must know that Lu Xuanyin was an inner mountain gold sash disciple, and had the strength of the sixth layer Alpha-Origin stage!

  Such power was enough to sweep away any outer mountain disciple, and even the likes of Lu Feng was far from being able to compare.

  However, who could have expected the sixth layer Alpha-Origin Lu Xuanyin to be so effortlessly subdued by Yaoyao?!

  Just how immeasurable was Yaoyao’s strength?

  While Lu Feng’s side was overwhelmed by terror, everyone on Zhou Yuan’s side, with the exception of himself, wore marvelous expressions. Some were even rubbing their eyes, believing they had seen some kind of hallucination.
