Shuiyun Building, built on a giant Jiuyang Lake, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland cloud building.
An ancient and simple big ship crushed the air waves and flew under the Water Cloud Pavilion.
"But isn't it Lord Ji Ning?" Someone had been waiting outside Shuiyun Building early on.
Ji Ning led a group of golden-armored imperial guards down from the large ship, and after dismissing the ship, he walked up to a young-looking yuan Shen Daoist who was already waiting, dressed in white robes. He opened his mouth and said, "I am Ji Ning."
"On the orders of my young master, I have been waiting for you, Gongzi Jining. Please follow me." The white-robed youth glanced at the golden-armored imperial guards behind Jining and his eyelids twitched. Those who could bring the golden-armored imperial guards with them on a trip... were definitely not ordinary people, but must have had a powerful background and connections!
Like those senior officials who relied on Mount Hua being the Emperor of Great Xia, they were granted the Golden Armor Forbidden Troops.
And some of the Daxia imperial clan's favored sons might be granted the Golden Armor Guard. Ji Ning was able to bring the Golden Armor Guard with him because he had the backing of Prince Xian!
"This Shuiyun Building is truly magnificent." Ji Ning had a small green snake coiled around his arm, a snow-white large dog following by his side, and behind him was a group of golden armored guards, walking grandly inside the Shuiyun Building. As they walked, each step seemed to defy the wind, disappearing into the distance in an instant.
The white-robed young man who led the way smiled and said, "This Water Cloud Pavilion was built by my clan, the Xuan Shui Clan, at the cost of immense wealth and more than three years' time. After its completion, we spent many long years continuously refining it with great care, and only then did it become the Water Cloud Pavilion as you see it today."
"It's indeed worthy of the Su family, impressive, impressive!" Ji Ning praised.
This was a powerful tribe that once competed with the Xia Mang clan for dominance, and its profound heritage ranked among the top three in this vast world. The sheer number of array formations and restrictions on just one building in the Water Cloud Pavilion was likely to rival those of some top-notch sects' mountain gates. The Water Cloud Pavilion, as the 'Xuan Shui Clan', had indeed spent endless effort in the largest commercial district of the Great Xia Kingdom. Ji Ning's praise was also heartfelt.
The young man in white listened to Ji Ning's praise, and didn't smile. He immediately said: "My family's young master is just ahead, the wine feast has been prepared long ago, and we've been waiting for Young Master Ji Ning."
"It seems I'm late." Ji Ning said with a smile.
Soon, along a long suspension path walking on this path can overlook the vast lake water below and the endless fog that permeates.
Along the cableway, I walked to a giant building that was at least a thousand feet high. This building was **, and it was only connected to the entire Water Cloud Building by a long path.
At the main gate, there were two attendants guarding the door. Both of them were True Men of Ten Thousand Images. As soon as they saw the young man in white, they immediately opened the gate and showed great respect.
"The young master is inside." The white-robed youth smiled and said, "It's also quiet here and you can see the beautiful scenery of the endless Jiuyang Lake."
Ji Ning led a group of golden-armored imperial guards in, and the large gate closed behind them.
"Haha, Brother Ji Ning is indeed extraordinary. Not long ago, he spent 5 million yuan to buy the famous Peacock Feather Transmission King's Domain, and now he has entered the Yan Wang Fu for a short time, but he has already taken out the Golden Armor Forbidden Army. This makes me admire him so much that I have to prostrate myself in admiration! Qu Ge, what about you?" A slightly frivolous voice rang out.
A young man with a loose white robe and long hair tied up casually, walked over barefoot. His eyes seemed to be drunk or not, blurry. But his face was full of smiles and warm welcome.
On his side, however, was a tall and majestic young man in black clothes. The tall and majestic young man nodded: "Indeed admirable, Yan Wang is notoriously cold-blooded and unapproachable, but the young people he values are very rare. Ji Ning brother can lead the Golden Armor Forbidden Army out in just one or two days, it's indeed impressive."
The two of them, the white-robed barefooted youth looked frivolous but also carefree. The other black-clothed tall and sturdy young man had an air of sharpness about him.
Behind these two people, there was also a man and a woman following them.
"Two of them have been invited." Ji Ning smiled and said, this invitation was sent by "Xuan Shui Xiao Lou", Ji Ning naturally also knew that Xuan Shui Xiao Lou was one of the four young masters of the Great Xia Kingdom. The white-robed barefooted youth in front of him was Xuan Shui Xiao Lou. He and Shao Yan Nong were both among the four young masters, but the Shao Yan family and the Xuan Shui family were sworn enemies, so their relationship was also extremely awkward.
He is usually very fierce in fighting.
Regardless of whether it's about wrist strength, personal ability, connections or clan, Cong Shui Xiao Lou is one step stronger than Shao Yan Nong.
"Brother Ji Ning." The enthusiastic, barefooted, white-robed owner of the Waterfall Pavilion grasped Ji Ning's hand tightly, "Come, let me introduce you."
"This is the true genius of the younger generation of the Tian Nong clan - Tian Nong Qu Ge! Unlike me, who often attends various gatherings, Qu Ge is very low-key and focuses on his cultivation. He rarely appears in the Great Xia Imperial City. This time, he returned to the city due to the Xian Yuan Conference and happened to hear about you, Ji Ning. He's quite curious and has come with me specifically to meet you."
"What's going on with Tian Nong?" Ji Ning was secretly shocked.
This time, the most promising candidate to win first place in the Fairy Fate Conference is Tian Nong Qu Ge. Although Xia Mang Zi Shan, Cang Wu Gu, Mu Chuan Zhen Ren and others have high popularity, Tian Nong Qu Ge, as a young leader of the Tian Nong family, has been recognized as one of the top 100 and may even burst out with super strong power as an extraordinary genius. After all, he is too low-key, and no one can guess his current strength.
"Brother Ji Ning." Tian Nong said with a smile.
"Brother Qu Ge." Since others were so affectionate in calling him "Brother Ji Ning", Ji Ning wouldn't be outdone, and if he foolishly called him "Fellow Daoist Qu Ge", he would only lose face.
"Come, come, I'll introduce you to another participant in this Fairy Fate Conference." Zhen Shui Xiao Lou pointed behind him to a man wearing purple clothes, with skin as white as jade and an otherworldly beauty, his eyes even seemed somewhat enchanting. "This is my old friend, Xiao Lang, an absolute top-notch romantic figure, in the Great Xia Kingdom's capital, there are many young women who secretly admire him and wish to marry him."
"Is that Xiao Lang?" Ji Ning thought to herself, this Xiao Lang was also recorded in the intelligence reports, and was known for being quite romantic, with a personality that was even somewhat twisted. Of course, according to the Tian Bao Shan intelligence agency's assessment, Xiao Lang was still considered a relatively minor figure, not yet comparable to "Tian Nong Qu Ge".
"I've met Master Ji Ning before." Zuo Lang said with a hint of a smile, bowing his hands.
"Xiao Lang Dao You." Ji Ning nodded slightly.
Bo Yan smiled and said, "I also have a good friend who I met while traveling outside. This time, she came with me to the Great Xia Wangdu and is also participating in the Fairy Fate Conference." The red-clothed woman beside him stepped forward: "Bo Yan has seen Ji Ning Daoist friend."
"Bo Yan Dao You." Ji Ning also said.
Xuan Shui Xiao Lou, Tian Nong Qu Ge, Xiao Lang, and Bo Yan, this made Ji Ning secretly marvel, these four people were all extraordinary.
This man is romantic and has a twisted personality with a strange temper.
Bo Yan is a well-known figure in Beihai, but her reputation is mostly notorious.
"Let's go and sit down over there." said Xiao Lou.
Jin Jia and the others sat down to one side, where a special banquet had been prepared for them. Meanwhile, Xun Shui Xiao Lou, Tian Nong Qu Ge, Xiao Lang, Bo Yan, and Ji Ning walked off together.
The five of them sat down separately.
"I thought Brother Ji Ning would move into my Quan Water Mansion, but who knew he'd already moved into the Yan Wang Mansion." The small building of Quan Water sighed with emotion and then smiled, saying "If Brother Ji Ning is not comfortable living there, he can move out at any time and come live in my Quan Water Mansion."
"King Yan treated me extremely well and valued me highly, even granting me the Golden Armor Imperial Guard. How could I betray King Yan?" Ji Ning said with a smile.
This was also what he and his cousin discussed in private, but all they said publicly was that Yan Wang valued Ji Ning highly!
"Yes." Cong Shui Xiao Lou nodded, he also didn't think he could win over Ji Ning, it was just a casual remark.
"Hmm."
The man sitting next to him, however, directly picked up his wine cup and drank it down: "This Ji Ning has only been cultivating for thirty years, how can he be so powerful? It's just because he killed Shao Yan Nong, obtained a large number of treasures, and then spent 5 million jin of yuan liquid to buy the Peacock Feather. That's why his name spread throughout the Great Xia Kingdom. His luck is good, it's a pity that Princess Xi Yue values him and brought him to the Yan Wang Fu. Given Yan Wang's doting nature towards Princess Xi Yue, I'm afraid it was Princess Xi Yue who asked... for the Golden Armor Forbidden Army to follow Ji Ning."
Zuo Lang looked down on Ji Ning.
He has been making a name for himself for many years and his reputation is far greater than that of Ji Ning! This time, he also wants to show off his skills at the Xianyuan Conference!
How have you been?
He's just a little guy who made a name for himself by killing a few bandits, and only gained the attention of King Yan because of a woman.
In fact, Xiao Lang also had a heart of jealousy... because Ji Ning could take out 5 million jin of yuan liquid, while he, Xiao Lang, couldn't even come close. Ji Ning was able to lead a group of golden armored forbidden troops, what kind of prestige was that? Although he also moved into the Quan Shui Palace, how could it compare to Ji Ning's prestige?
"Lucky kid, no real ability, after a long time, you will eventually be found out to be all show and no substance." Zuo Lang was drinking wine over there, too lazy to talk to Ji Ning.
Xiao Lang was eccentric and had a strange personality, others wouldn't dare to see him from the outside, many cultivators have weird temperaments anyway.
Jining, Xunshui Xiaolou, Tiannong Quge, and Boyan Daozi were chatting quite happily.
"Ji Ning, this time the Water Cloud Pavilion has just purchased some exotic creatures from a small world. That small world is quite special, and the life forms within it are also extraordinary. These two are already among the strongest in that small world, with abilities rivaling those of the True Person of Ten Thousand Images." The owner of the Water Cloud Pavilion pointed to the hundred-meter-wide arena, where people had begun carrying in massive iron cages. Inside one cage was a giant golden-haired man about three meters tall, while inside the other cage was a creature with the lower body of a lion and the upper body of a human.
"Let's take a look at this ethnic massacre, it's quite exciting." Xiaoshui Xiaolou clapped her hands.
Suddenly loud noise.
The hundred-zhang-wide area immediately rose with a sealing array, and the two iron cages inside the sealing array automatically opened with a clang. The golden-haired giant and lion man, who were only wearing beast skin skirts, rushed out.
