Chapter 1435: Chapter 1435
The sky was getting dark, and the Crown Prince’s mansion was brightly lit.
In front of the main hall, hundreds of banquet tables were set up. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
The guests at the tables came from all corners of the land.
There were humans, demons, land cultivators, sea cultivators, loose cultivators, and sect disciples all present.
Long Fei and his party arrived outside the gate and looked up to see that the plaque of the mansion still had the words "Prince" written on it.
The so-called Crown Prince’s mansion was just a popular name for this place.
This Crown Prince was none other than Ji Haotian, the son of the new Emperor Ji Mingyi.
Although he resided in Chang’an City, he had heard about the events in the Mount Tai Secret Realm.
In the Cultivation World, Long Fei was known to be a public enemy condemned by both gods and men.
He had robbed many sect disciples, causing various sects to view him unfavorably.
Ji Haotian keenly seized this opportunity and spread flyers all over the Capital City, gathering all the cultivators who had enmity with Long Fei.
These people might not be elites of their sects, but together, they formed quite a formidable force.
At the entrance, cultivators were continuously entering with invitation cards.
Long Fei and Chang Xi discussed their plan, and she revealed her true appearance, entering the Crown Prince’s mansion as an extraterritorial cultivator.
Wang Xiaoya altered her appearance slightly, elongating her somewhat round face.
Long Fei laughed when he saw it; even Chang Xi and Taida couldn’t recognize her immediately while standing with Long Fei.
The group reached the entrance, and a guard stepped forward to block them.
Long Fei shouted, "We are extraterritorial cultivators, go quickly to inform your master, we also wish to join this dragon-slaying assembly."
Upon hearing this, the inside guards dared not delay and hurriedly went to find the steward.
The steward whispered a few words into Ji Haotian’s ear, and upon hearing about the arrival of two beauties, Ji Haotian went to greet them without hesitation.
He did not expect that at the gate, it turned out to be the Saintess Chang Xi of the Immortal King Star and the Saint Heir Taida of the Barbarian King Star.
The other two seemed unfamiliar, but their aura was extraordinary.
This dragon-slaying assembly he organized was filled with an unruly crowd, none of whom could hold the stage individually.
But with Chang Xi and Taida present, the level suddenly elevated.
"Fairy’s visit illuminates our humble abode, please come in and speak!"
Ji Haotian quickly reached out, inviting Long Fei and his party inside.
On the way, he chatted with Chang Xi, trying to cozy up, "Fairy, since you came here, I suppose you also hold enmity against that scoundrel Long Fei?"
Long Fei, standing by, twitched his face, wanting to punch him.
Chang Xi smiled inwardly and deliberately replied, "Yes, that little scoundrel Long Fei is extremely cunning. He snatched my storage ring in the Mount Tai Secret Realm, and we are irreconcilable with him."
Ji Haotian laughed loudly, "That’s right, everyone present today holds a grudge against Long Fei the scoundrel. Later, I’ll introduce some important friends from the sea to you all. For this dragon-slaying assembly, we heavily rely on them."
At the banquet, the cultivators, upon hearing that the Saintess of the Immortal King Star had arrived, all craned their necks to take a look.
The men were full of envy, while the women felt a bit of jealousy.
Ji Haotian felt extremely proud, inviting Long Fei and the party to sit at the main table.
Also seated at this large redwood round table were five others.
Their skin was dark, including both humans and scaled demons.
Ji Haotian happily introduced, "Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce everyone solemnly."
First, he turned to Chang Xi and said to everyone, "This is the Saintess of the Immortal King Star, Fairy Chang Xi."
The five Ocean Clan members glanced at each other, very conceitedly without even giving Chang Xi a direct look.
Ji Haotian was slightly embarrassed but continued to introduce Taida.
He looked at Long Fei and politely asked, "I wonder which sect this fellow cultivator practices under? Your esteemed name?"
Long Fei had already devised an identity and answered calmly, "My Daoist name is Aotian. My junior sister and I are loose cultivators from the sea, wandering here for some time, and happened to hit it off with Fairy Chang Xi, so we came together."
"Good name, excellent name indeed!"
Ji Haotian flattered, but seeing Long Fei was merely at the Nascent Soul Realm cultivation level, he only responded perfunctorily and turned to cozy up with Wang Xiaoya, "May I ask the goddess’s esteemed name?"
Wang Xiaoya replied indifferently, uttering just two words before falling silent.
Her Dharma Laksana was the white phoenix, so she used White Phoenix as a fake name.
"This little lady has quite an attitude!"
Ji Haotian snorted inwardly, eyes flashing with a salacious light, smiling, "Good, a fairy’s name indeed."
He turned his head back, looking at the five Daoists from overseas, introducing, "These five Daoists must be introduced formally. These three Daoists are from the Fire Mulberry Sect of the South Sea, eldest Daoist Yuan Heng, second brother Daoist Yuan Li, third brother Daoist Yuan Zhen. They were invited by the Southern Sea Black Dragon King to come ashore to help kill the scoundrel Long Fei."
Long Fei looked at the three of them, who remained haughty and indifferent, even too lazy to nod.
Ji Haotian continued introducing, "These two are the generals under the Southern Sea Black Dragon King, Daoist Cang Hai and Daoist Cang Lang. They are determined to kill the scoundrel Long Fei and avenge the third Crown Prince of the South Sea. I express my full support and will assist wholeheartedly."
The two Daoists also held their heads high, displaying an attitude of looking down on everyone.
Long Fei tapped lightly, observing that all five of them were at the Soul Ascension Stage, dominating the seas.
Upon reaching the land, thinking they could act arrogantly, naturally, they looked down at others.
Daoist Yuan Zhen eyed Long Fei disdainfully and snorted, "A cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm Early Stage, also worthy to sit with us? Are you not ashamed?"
He scanned everyone at the table, as peers his realm level he could see through was hardly impressive, but Long Fei’s was obvious at a glance.
Long Fei chuckled, "The host here is the Crown Prince. Where we sit is arranged by the Crown Prince. Do you have any say in it, Daoist?"
He invoked Ji Haotian, elevating him highly.
Daoist Yuan Zhen slammed the table directly, glaring at Long Fei and barked, "You young’un, have no respect, who are you speaking to?"
Inside, Ji Haotian was delighted; he was not afraid of fights below, but of them not relying on him.
Only when those below were fighting could he have a say in the middle.
He lifted his wine cup and hurried to mediate, "Both of you are my friends, please don’t say anything hurtful. Our goal is the same, everything should center around killing that little scoundrel Long Fei, let’s not argue about other matters!"
Yuan Zhen snorted lightly, glanced sideways at Long Fei, and stopped talking.
Long Fei paid him no heed, simply sipping his drink.
Ji Haotian smiled, raised his wine cup, and turned to call out to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am truly honored you have come to my dragon-slaying assembly. As everyone knows, my father has just ascended to the throne as Emperor, and soon we will have the enthronement ceremony. As long as you are willing to assist wholeheartedly, you will all become the mainstays of the Dynasty of Tai’an. Endless wealth and honor await you, and even if you wish to start your own sect in the future, the Imperial Court will strongly support you."
"Long live the Crown Prince!"
"The Crown Prince is bold!"
"We are willing to serve the Crown Prince, life or death!"
A group of cultivators lifted their cups and rose, flattering Ji Haotian with toasts.
Ji Haotian, full of high spirits, drank with them.
His soaring expression seemed as if he would soon kill Long Fei, become famous worldwide, and unify the Daoist Sect.
