Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 281: The Lonely Sect Leader
Ten people came from the Yu Jian Sect this time, including several disciples from the sect. The team was led by the Yu Jian Sect's supreme elder Qin Lao, and Xu Qianxing's father Xu Baichou also came.
There is another one, a young man without a mouth...
Down below, Xu Qianxing was almost done with her work. As the city lord, she didn't need to do many things herself. Her main task was to supervise the cooperation negotiations between Gucheng and various parties.
The floating island above is where representatives of many forces gather. Even if these sects have ideas about opening shops or cooperating in the isolated city, they will not discuss this matter on the floating island , but will send people to the city to negotiate with others.
Now, almost everything has been discussed, and the grand event is about to officially begin. Naturally, the city lord Xu Qianxing cannot be absent. Seeing the people from the Yu Jian Sect coming, she simply chose to go to the floating island at this moment.
In the sky, Master Bai appeared again and personally greeted the people from the Yujian Sect. Then Xu Qianxing also flew over, bowed, and said, "Qianxing greets Master Qin and father!"
Old Qin looked at Xu Qianxing, smiled and nodded.
Xu Baichou was also very excited to see his daughter. He could tell at a glance that Xu Qianxing's foundation had been completely restored and his cultivation had broken through to the Jindan stage. For a moment, he was filled with relief and moved, and he was no longer so dissatisfied with Gu Xiaoxing.
The most excited one was the young man without a mouth. The moment he saw Xu Qianxing, his eyes immediately turned red and two lines of sad tears flowed out.
Who else could this person be but Xu Qianming?
Xu Qianxing looked at his brother, startled at first, then stunned. He then recalled that when Xiaoxing took him away from the Yu Jian Sect, he said he had forgotten something. This was indeed a big thing he had forgotten!
The reason why Xu Qianxing was stunned was that she herself had forgotten about it, so she was too guilty to dare to look her brother in the face, and decided to let Xiaoxing remove the silencing sticker for him.
A group of people flew onto the floating island. In the center of the island, a large number of people had gathered. They came from various forces, and there were even more people than the last time the Sword Controlling Sect held a sword-fighting conference.
At this moment, all the guests had taken their seats. When they saw the people from the Sword Controlling Sect arriving, they stood up and greeted them. Given the status of the Sword Controlling Sect, they naturally sat closest to the organizer.
"Dahao Treasure Pavilion congratulates the Soul Devouring Sect... on opening its city!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded again outside the mountain. Many people were surprised, even more surprised than hearing that the Sword Controlling Sect was coming.
Everyone knows the meaning of the Dahao Treasure Pavilion. When an ordinary sect opens its city, they are not qualified to invite this person. But this time when the Soul-Devouring Sect opens its city, people from the Dahao Treasure Pavilion came!
Could it be... ?
For a moment, everyone had some guesses, and the more they guessed, the more frightened they became.
The people from the Yu Jian Sect and the Yun Xiao Sect were not too surprised. The cities where they were practicing cultivation also had branches of the Da Hao Treasure Pavilion and they had received the news long ago.
Master Bai bowed slightly to the people from the Sword Controlling Sect, then flew away again to welcome the people from the Dahao Treasure Pavilion.
"Pu Datong, the leader of the Bugulei Sect, congratulates the Soul Devouring Sect on opening its city!"
Master Bai was extremely busy. He had just finished welcoming the people from Dahao Bao Pavilion when he heard the voice of Bugu Lei Zong from outside. He bowed apologetically to the shopkeeper of Dahao Bao Pavilion and ordered someone to take them to sit down. Then Master Bai flew out again.
But when Master Bai saw the people from Bugulei Sect, he was stunned and asked in astonishment, " Fellow Daoist Pu , what happened to your hand...?"
Ten people also came from the Bugulei Sect, led by a white-haired old man. One of the old man's arms was missing a palm, and it looked like a new injury, presumably it had been cut off by someone recently.
Master Bai was very curious about who had the ability to cut off Park Datong's hand as he was the supreme elder of the Bugulei Sect.
When Pu Datong heard what Master Bai said, murderous intent immediately welled up in his eyes, and he snorted coldly, "It's better not to mention that he was harmed by a traitor. Sooner or later, I will find him and kill him!"
Seeing that the other party didn't want to talk, Master Bai didn't ask any more questions and invited them into the floating island.
At this point, everyone had finally arrived and all the guests had taken their seats, except for the seating area for the organizer, the Soul-Devouring Sect, which was still empty.
Just when everyone was still wondering why they hadn't seen Elder Gu Xiaoxing yet, a voice rang out.
"Please take a seat, Master!"
Suddenly, everyone felt a flash of light above them, and a figure appeared there, floating down.
This man was wearing a black Taoist robe, and his long gray hair had a completely white strand. He looked like a young man, but he was surrounded by old age. However, it was precisely because of this that he looked even more experienced and majestic.
At this moment, everyone looked at the figure that suddenly appeared, with different expressions.
"It's not as scary as the legend says!" Fairy Bi Xin muttered to herself in the Yunxiao Sect's seating area, and at the same time she was a little surprised why she didn't see Qiao Yanran.
Next to Bi Xin, there was another person with a dull look in her eyes. Her name was Yun Ling.
Even more stunned than Yun Ling was Park Datong who was sitting in the Bugulei Sect's seating area. He never dreamed that he would meet his enemy here!
The person who suddenly appeared was Gu Xiaoxing.
Different from the guests who had different expressions, all the people from the Soul-Devouring Sect looked at Gu Xiaoxing with respect, including Master Bai, who all bowed deeply to him.
"Meet the Sect Master!"
Gu Xiaoxing waved his hand and put his hands and the loose embroidered robe behind his back. At this moment, he was so excited!
"No, I need to be serious!"
Gu Xiaoxing forced himself not to laugh out loud, and said with a serious face, "No need to be polite."
At this time, everyone else also reacted and stood up. They also bowed to Gu Xiaoxing and said, "Greetings, Sect Master Gu!"
When nearly a thousand guests spoke together, the sound was like a tsunami, and it even reached the isolated city below. At this moment, there were already quite a few people in the isolated city. When they heard the sound, although they could not see the situation on the floating island, they were inexplicably shocked in their hearts.
The lonely leader!
At this moment, everyone understood that Gu Xiaoxing had become the leader of the Soul-Devouring Sect!
On the floating island, Gu Xiaoxing looked around at everyone. Even when facing the greetings from so many forces, he remained calm. But in fact, his hands behind his back were already pinching himself.
At this moment, people from all directions came to worship him. It could be said that it was the most glorious moment in Gu Xiaoxing's life !
"I have to be serious and not laugh!"
Gu Xiaoxing warned himself again, then slowly raised his hand and said, "Fellow Taoists, please don't be polite. Please take a seat!"
After hearing this, everyone sat down one after another, but there was an old man with a broken arm who felt that the chair was covered with barbs and could hardly sit on it.
