Chapter 253: Encounter
Qin Wentian immediately stepped out in a carefree manner. As he spoke, he walked towards Fang Yuan who was in the Gu Immortal Sect.
At the same time, Jiang Yuncheng didn’t want to be outdone. When he saw Qin Wentian making a move, he hurriedly walked towards Fang Yuan.
“Brother Qin Wentian! Brother Jiang Yuncheng! Good morning, everyone.”
Fang Yuan walked out of the Gu Immortal Sect’s group and greeted the two of them.
“I have to say, Fang Yuan, when you fought with me yesterday, I had a deep impression of that Nine-turns Adamant Worm-manipulation Rod of yours. You hit me so hard that my body is still in pain!”
Qin Wentian covered his arm as he complained to Fang Yuan.
“Hahaha, isn’t that because you suppressed the other members of our Gu Immortal Sect too smoothly yesterday? I was also not sure how strong you were, so wasn’t my only option to go all out? Everyone knows that blades and spears have no eyes.”
Since both sides were no longer enemies, and were more like rivals, Fang Yuan didn’t take advantage of them verbally.
On the contrary, taking a step back and admitting his flaws was actually more beneficial to Fang Yuan’s relationship with Qin Wentian and Jiang Yuncheng.
“That’s too awesome, your strength isn’t modest, it’s definitely stronger than mine!”
Qin Wentian waved his hand as he spoke to Fang Yuan.
At this moment, Jiang Yuncheng finally found a topic to talk about with the two of them, and interjected.
“That’s right, look at you, Fang Yuan. Yesterday, when the Nine-turns Adamant Worm-manipulation Rod came down, the joint defensive formation of my fellow disciples and I couldn’t even block a single move from you!”
“What is there for you to be humble about now? Just admit it! Don’t tell me you are actually looking down on us?”
Jiang Yuncheng suddenly laughed at himself as he spoke to Fang Yuan.
“Aiya, no, no! I absolutely didn’t have such intentions!”
Fang Yuan quickly denied it, and also used this opportunity to walk together with Qin Wentian and Jiang Yuncheng.
At this moment, the disciples of the Gu Immortal Sect were also walking together with the disciples of the Qilian Sect and Liuyun Sect, exchanging their experiences in Gu master cultivation, as well as the feelings they had when they fought on the arena yesterday.
Because everyone was in their teens, there was no psychological barrier between them, and it was impossible for them to become enemies!
And the benefits of being young were obvious at this moment. Everyone was only joking with each other, and they acknowledged each other. Plus, they had fought on the stage before, so they knew each other’s strength.
In the Gu Dao Jiuzhou world, not only among Gu masters, but also in the hearts of every living being, befriending experts was a subconscious action.
When the disciples of the Qilian Sect and Liuyun Sect stood together with the disciples of the Gu Immortal Sect, because they had impressions of each other from yesterday’s battle, they were able to get to know each other freely.
Thus, the group chatted and laughed as they walked towards Yan Shen Empire’s imperial palace.
As for the people from Tianxiang Sect that Fang Yuan knew, whether it was Han Qian Luo or his sister Yu Bing, they were nowhere to be seen. Fang Yuan guessed that they had other plans.
In addition, it wasn’t convenient for him to interfere with his younger sister Yu Bing’s plans. Hence, Fang Yuan directly headed to the imperial palace.
Nothing happened along the way.
When Fang Yuan, Jiang Yuncheng, Qin Wentian and the others arrived at the imperial palace, only then did they realize that there were already many representatives from the various sects here!
They were not only the top ten sects that won yesterday. Many other sects that weren’t ranked in the top ten were also present.
That was because today, the Yan Shen Saint from the Yan Shen Empire would personally meet the top ten!
But that did not mean that the Yan Shen Saint would only meet the ten of them!
After all, the nature and ultimate goal of hosting this Gu Dao Convention was to spread the might of the Yan Shen Empire, so it was even more important to let more people meet the Yan Shen Saint and leave a deep impression in their hearts.
Only by letting more people know the true nature of Yan Shen Saint’s strength, and making them unable to resist, would it be in line with the intention of this Gu Dao Convention!
And those sects also wanted to use this opportunity to make friends with the other sects, to see if there was a way to increase their own sects’ strength.
Both sides were getting what they needed, thus, the number of sects that came to the imperial palace today increased.
Not long after arriving, Fang Yuan saw many sects that had been defeated by the Gu Immortal Sect, as well as other neutral clans and forces, and even many of the capital’s own clans.
After all, today’s grand meeting was a social event.
It did not explicitly say that any sect or force could not participate, thus, all the forces that wanted to raise their clan’s strength came.
And it was obvious that when Fang Yuan brought the Gu Immortal Sect’s disciples here, he immediately became the star of the entire venue!
No sect would be uninterested in the Gu Immortal Sect, number one in this Gu Dao Convention!
When everyone wanted to make friends with the Gu Immortal Sect, everyone from the Gu Immortal Sect would naturally become the main characters of this banquet!
Not only Wan Qian, Gu Tianqing, Qin Han, Zhou Chang, even Ruan Qinghe, Gu Yuange, Bing Ning, Yao Guang and the rest were surrounded by many participants from other sects.
Finally, when it was about ten o’clock, the imperial palace’s door opened.
The person from yesterday, the person who announced the results of the Gu Dao Convention, the leader of the ceremony department, stood out and said to everyone.
“First of all, we welcome all the geniuses from the various sects to gather here to watch Yan Shen Saint award all the winners today.”
“I am courteous to all of you. Next, I would like to invite all of you to move inside the imperial palace and have some food and rest. The Yan Shen Saint will come out and speak to all of you very soon.”
“Good, good, good. Please, sir, please, sir.”
Amidst the crowd of compliments, the leader of the ceremony department returned to the Yan Shen Empire’s imperial palace first. Everyone present followed behind without exception.
It was just that at this moment, everyone appeared to be very orderly. They spontaneously arranged themselves according to the final ranking of the previous competition.
Fang Yuan followed behind the leader of the ceremony department. As he approached the Yan Shen Empire’s imperial palace, he also began to chat with him.
