Chapter 712: Chapter 468: Talents of Various Sects, That Person’s Carriage_2
“Haha, Brother Qi is indeed well-read and knowledgeable, able to recognize even seniors who have been in seclusion for decades at a glance. I truly admire you!”
The young man in white who first asked the question laughed heartily.
“Brother Wang, you’re too kind. I just have a fondness for collecting the life stories of these past masters, nothing more,” the young man in dark clothes replied modestly.
However, he couldn’t hide the slight pride on his face.
At this moment, a young woman with a beautiful appearance asked doubtfully:
“I’ve also heard the elders in my sect mention the name Mu Qianfeng.
Decades ago, he was a renowned figure, known to be at the Great Success of the Innate Realm at the time.
Now, after so many years, even with several years of spiritual energy resurgence, it’s strange that he is only at the Perfect Innate Realm now.”
“I know a little about this,” the dark-clothed young man said. “It’s rumored that before he vanished back then, he had a conflict with the Heavenly Blue Sect of the Northern Border.
He fought bravely against several Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Blue Sect, killed two of them, but was severely injured himself and fled, disappearing without a trace.
Perhaps the war back then severely damaged his foundation, which is why he hasn’t made much progress after all these years.”
“The Heavenly Blue Sect? Didn’t they already arrive at the Holy City three days ago?
He dares to appear here, isn’t he afraid that the Heavenly Blue Sect will trouble him?” someone asked in surprise.
“That’s unknown. Perhaps he thinks that with the Assembly about to be held, with all the world’s forces gathered, the Heavenly Blue Sect wouldn’t dare to act rashly,” the young man in dark clothes said.
Everyone thought about it and found it very reasonable.
Especially since the intention of the Holy Mountain in holding the Assembly this time is quite clear, which is to re-establish order to maintain stability in the current chaotic world.
Regardless of whether it can be done in the end, in such a situation, the Heavenly Blue Sect should be cautious about being the one to stand out.
“Speaking of which, for this Assembly, about half of the sect forces in the world must have already arrived.
Brother Qi, what do you think will be the outcome of this Assembly?
Will the Saint Masters’ ideas be realized?”
At this point, a beautiful woman suddenly asked.
Everyone else fell silent at these words.
No one expected the woman to dare to ask such a question.
Even the young man in dark clothes was momentarily stunned,
but he quickly reacted and laughed: “Junior Sister Liu, you must be joking. How could I possibly predict such world events?”
“Really, but I think the Saint Masters’ ideas might be difficult to achieve.
It’s no longer like it was a thousand years ago; the world situation has changed.
The Saint Masters might have the will but not the power to control the grand scheme anymore,” the beautiful woman spoke eloquently, and her words shook everyone’s heart and spirit, making them look at her in astonishment.
None of them expected her to be so bold, to openly criticize the Saint Masters.
Many also glanced subtly towards Lin Zhirui.
Everyone knew about the relationship between Tianji Building and the Holy Mountain.
How would he react to her criticism of the Saint Masters?
However, to their surprise, Lin Zhirui remained calm, showing no reaction at all, as if he hadn’t heard the woman’s words.
Such an attitude left everyone stunned again.
Those with lively minds couldn’t help but think more deeply.
The beautiful woman was one of the core True Disciples of Guiyuan Sect, one of the largest sects in Central State.
To some extent, she could represent the attitude of Guiyuan Sect.
Was her speech just now a hint of Guiyuan Sect’s will?
As the restaurant fell into a strange silence, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the city gate.
“What a magnificent one-horned dragon horse!”
“What grand power would use such mutant beasts to pull their carriage?”
“Why do I feel that the aura of these two dragon horses is much stronger than ours?”
“Wait, I think I’ve heard of this carriage before!”
…
The sudden noise interrupted the silence in the restaurant.
Everyone involuntarily looked towards the city gate.
Then, all eyes went wide in astonishment.
At the city gate, a huge carriage was parked.
The carriage was engraved with mysterious patterns, looking quite enigmatic.
The most eye-catching were the two tall, snow-white, sharp-horned divine horses in front.
The Qi-Blood emitted by those divine horses was incredibly powerful, matching that of an Innate Realm expert.
“Innate Level Exotic Beast Dragon Horses?”
The people in the restaurant, all core True Disciples from top sects of Central State, naturally had keen eyesight.
They immediately recognized the extraordinariness of the two majestic horses.
These were two Exotic Beast Dragon Horses that had reached the Innate Realm!
“Which sect force owns this carriage, using Innate Level Exotic Beasts to pull it?”
Instantly, the young talents in the restaurant were astonished.
Even though it’s been several years since the world began to recover, bringing forth many Exotic Beasts and Spirit Beasts due to spiritual energy nourishment.
But those that reach the Innate Realm are still extremely rare and hard to capture and tame.
At least none of their sects were so extravagant as to use Innate Level Exotic Beast Dragon Horses for their carriages.
Immediately, everyone instinctively wanted to check the situation with the carriage.
However, just as they released their Divine Soul Power to sense the carriage’s situation.
Their Divine Soul Power, upon touching the carriage, suddenly felt a sharp, stabbing pain at their heart and spirit.
All of them couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.
Their released Divine Soul Power shrank back quickly, like a snake recoiling, to their Forehead Acupoint, their faces turning pale, and looked at the carriage in shock.
It was clear that the carriage had been refined by a master, not only able to defend against the probing of others’ Divine Souls but also capable of counterattacks!
“Wait, I feel like I’ve heard of this carriage and these dragon horses somewhere before,”
At this moment, the young man in dark clothes suddenly had a change in expression, as if remembering something.
But before he could recall it fully, he saw someone exit the carriage.
It was a middle-aged man, slightly gaunt with ordinary features.
His aura wasn’t strong, only just entering the Innate Realm.
But the thing in his hand shocked everyone.
It was a golden invitation card.
An invitation from the Holy Mountain!
The people in the restaurant immediately recognized the origin of the invitation card.
And they were more certain of the unusual background of the carriage.
Being able to receive an invitation from the Holy Mountain meant being a universally renowned force.
But they still didn’t know which force this was.
As everyone was still wondering, a figure leaped down from among them.
Landing on the street, he walked towards the city gate.
“Brother Zhirui!”
Everyone saw that it was Lin Zhirui.
They watched as Lin Zhirui walked directly to the city gate, first exchanging greetings with the middle-aged man holding the invitation card.
Then, after explaining something to the guards, he led the mysterious carriage into the city.
Seeing Lin Zhirui chatting amicably with the middle-aged man, looking very familiar.
The people in the restaurant immediately understood.
Clearly, Lin Zhirui was acquainted with the owner of the carriage.
At this moment, the young man in dark clothes, who had been racking his brain, looked at the two Exotic Beast Dragon Horses and finally had a flash of insight, suddenly remembering something.
He paled and exclaimed: “I remember now, this is the carriage of that person back then!”
