NOVPUBAt this moment, above the skies of Extinct Heaven City, with Cai Yueting’s arrival, the Holy Buddha Child and Ghost Demon Heir had just ceased their rest.
"For Miss Cai’s sake, I’ll let you go this time," the Ghost Demon Heir’s eyes surged with Demonic Qi as he spoke indifferently.
"One day I will convert you," the Holy Buddha Child retracted his Buddha light and replied seriously.
"Please follow me, many Talented Disciples are already waiting in the tea garden," Cai Yueting said with a smile in return.
Clad in a red dress, she stood at the forefront, with the fragrant aroma of roses permeating the entire street.
As the numerous guards cleared the path, they led both the Ghost Demon Heir and Holy Buddha Child away.
...
It wasn’t until they all had vanished from sight that the crowd on the street regained their senses and began to discuss noisily.
"Shall we go join the fun?" Xu Zimei chuckled.
"I’m fine with it," Styx nodded in agreement.
Xu Zimei inquired about the location of Cai Mansion.
Cai Mansion and City Lord Mansion were on the same street, with tea trees planted all around the residence.
It was said that the current Family Head of Cai Mansion had a profound love for tea, with a collection of various precious tea leaves.
The spring breeze carried the tea leaves’ subtle and rich fragrance, spreading it all around.
Just as Xu Zimei and his companion approached the entrance of Cai Mansion, they were stopped by the guards.
"We’ve come to attend the tea appreciation event," Styx declared.
"Without an invitation, nobody is allowed entry," the guard barred the entrance, replying indifferently.
"So what if we don’t have an invitation? Isn’t the tea appreciation event for inviting Talented Disciples?" Xu Zimei challenged.
"Are you looking down on me?"
"If you don’t leave now, I’ll have to take you into custody," the guard stated coldly.
"What if I must enter today?"
Xu Zimei said calmly.
As his words fell, Styx by his side waved both hands, grabbing the guard’s neck and flinging him away.
"Since you’re here to cause trouble, you might as well make a bigger scene."
Xu Zimei said, slightly narrowing his eyes.
The guard was thrown hard, and this spectacle immediately caught the attention of other members of the Cai Family.
A muscular middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe emerged.
"Commander Cai," upon seeing the middle-aged man, the guard promptly explained.
"They’re trying to force their way in without the invitations distributed by the young lady.
I stopped them, but they didn’t listen and took the opportunity to attack me." f
Commander Cai slightly frowned and approached, asking, "May I know where our guests are from?"
"Dark Corner City," Styx explained lightly.
Commander Cai’s expression shifted, aware that Dark Corner City, a den of sin, was unwelcome throughout the whole Shenghua Domain.
"Do you have an invitation?" Commander Cai paused briefly before asking.
"I don’t have an invitation, but I heard this tea appreciation event is a gathering of the Talented Disciples of the entire Shenghua Domain," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"There are countless Talented Disciples in the world, how many could you have heard of?
I just wanted to meet these Talented Disciples of the Shenghua Domain and see if they’re as impressive as rumored."
"Isn’t that a bit presumptuous of you, my friend?" a voice suddenly interjected, interrupting Xu Zimei’s words.
Xu Zimei turned to look and saw a young man carrying a bamboo sword slowly approaching.
And beside this bamboo sword youth, Dragon Abyss Prince came along as well.
"Who are you?" Xu Zimei asked indifferently.
"I am modestly ranked tenth on the Shenghua Fengyun List, known as Flat Sword Young Master," the bamboo sword youth answered with a hint of arrogance.
"Oh, only ranked tenth," Xu Zimei said, squinting his eyes and clicking his tongue while shaking his head.
"What do you mean by that?" Flat Sword Young Master spoke up with a cold huff.
"It seems you are not aware of the influence of the Shenghua Fengyun List."
"I don’t need to know, besides, what does your ranking have to do with me?" Xu Zimei asked.
"No offense, but from the tone of your speech earlier, it seems you’re not from our Shenghua Domain.
And you seem to have some disdain for the talented disciples of our Shenghua Domain," Flat Sword Young Master inquired.
"That’s a rather sinister thing to say, trying to set me against the entire Shenghua Domain," Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"But it doesn’t matter, not to mention your Shenghua Domain, even considering the four regions of the Central Continent,
I haven’t really encountered any worthy young opponents."
"Since you are so confident, I am not very talented, but I would like to seek some guidance. Would that be possible?" Flat Sword Young Master said indifferently.
"You are too weak," Xu Zimei shook his head slightly.
Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Flat Sword Young Master was taken aback, and then his face turned ashen with anger.
Ever since he advanced into the top ten of the Shenghua Fengyun List, he had been flattered and praised wherever he went.
And now, for the first time, someone was telling him that he was too weak.
"Please enlighten me," Flat Sword Young Master steadied his mind and slowly drew his bamboo sword.
Dragon Abyss Prince was watching the scene with great interest.
Xu Zimei smiled helplessly and shook his head.
He indeed looked down upon the strength of the Esteem Vein Realm of the other party.
Flat Sword Young Master snorted coldly, slightly bending his body, and took half a step back with his right leg.
He leaned his body to the side, his right arm holding the sword slightly raised.
The aura of the Esteem Vein Realm spread around him.
A thunderous sound erupted around him.
Behind Flat Sword Young Master, his bamboo sword transformed into thousands and thousands of shadowy figures.
These shadows, just like real bamboo swords, were indistinct and difficult to distinguish.
As Flat Sword Young Master slowly raised his bamboo sword, those thousands and thousands of shadows behind him emitted a staggering sword intent.
The entire firmament was enveloped by the spectacle of Sword Prison like a sea.
Flat Sword Young Master snorted coldly and took a step forward, directly attacking Xu Zimei.
The countless sword shadows behind also swung, tearing through layers of space, with an unmatched force heading towards him.
Seeing these thousands of Sword Qi whistling, Xu Zimei’s hair danced in the wind caused by the Sword Qi.
He cracked a smile, only to see Xu Zimei slowly extending his right hand.
The Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth boiled instantaneously, the boundless Spiritual Energy converging in his palm.
A thunderous sound was unceasing.
As the Spiritual Energy condensed and merged, Xu Zimei slowly clenched his right hand.
With a light squeeze, suddenly a "boom" exploded.
The storm of Spiritual Energy raged, instantly shattering Flat Sword Young Master’s countless sword qi into powder.
A continual cracking sound echoed.
At this moment, Flat Sword Young Master was less than one meter away from Xu Zimei.
However, the bamboo sword in his hand had already shattered and disappeared.
His white garment burst apart, his body covered in blood.
Flat Sword Young Master slightly lifted his head and looked at Xu Zimei with difficulty.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.
His body could hardly stand, about to collapse.
At this moment, a pair of large hands supported him, Flat Sword Young Master turned his head and saw Dragon Abyss Prince standing beside him.
Dragon Abyss Prince looked at Xu Zimei with a certain gravity.
"What, do you also wish to be enlightened?" Xu Zimei asked with a smile.
