Chapter 163: Family Banquet, The Invincible Nan Nation Genius

“Exalted Immortal, please stop chanting. What did I do wrong? Just tell me, will you?”

“Ahhhh! Exalted Immortal, you are really despicable, I told you a shocking secret and you want to go back on your word?”

“Exalted Immortal, I don’t need you to remove the Band Curse anymore. I was wrong, I was wrong, please let me off.”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon started rolling again with tears and mucus all over his face, begging Ye Ping to let him off.

He was in great pain and misery. He never thought that Ye Ping was a villain like him.

Indeed, men were good liars.

Ye Ping looked at the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon indifferently in the room.

To be honest, Ye Ping was really curious about what secret the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon had.

He didn’t expect it to be that.

To put it bluntly, if the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon merely said that his brothers were trash, Ye Ping would not be so furious, and he would at most just explain it patiently and tell the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon how strong his brothers were.

However, he didn’t expect Ye Ping to insult Xu Luochen harshly right away.

How could Ye Ping not be furious?

How could he not?

Five minutes later, Ye Ping stopped chanting the incantation, and the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon on the ground was lying motionlessly in exhaustion, as if he was dead.

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon could not describe how terrifying the Band Curse was, but he would wish he was dead instead.

Five minutes passed.

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon finally recovered from the shock.

His eyes were glassed over and he gradually came back to his senses. Feeling aggrieved, he looked at Ye Ping with grief in his eyes.

“Do you know your mistake?”

At this moment, Ye Ping’s voice made the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon even more resentful.

‘Where did I go wrong?’

‘Aren’t you the one who went back on your word?’

‘Ye Ping, you’ve gone too far!!!’

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon was crying so hard that he didn’t even know what to say.

“You don’t seem to be convinced.”

Ye Ping’s eyes were full of exasperation.

Hearing his words, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon hurriedly shook his head. Who would dare to oppose? If Ye Ping put the Band Curse on him again, his soul would be gone.

“Do you know what’s wrong with you?”

Ye Ping continued to ask.

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon wished he could curse at Ye Ping, but he could only do so in his heart.

“Exalted Immortal, please enlighten me.”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon asked with frustration.

“You said that my Senior Brothers are all wastrels, how so?”

Ye Ping could not help but ask about it.

After he said that, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon fell silent. He did not know how to answer.

‘How so?’

‘They are in every way.’

The Great Prison Grudge Demon wanted to say this to Ye Ping, but he knew that if he dared to do so, it would not be as simple as five minutes. He might really have to die of pain.

Looking at the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon who was silent, Ye Ping continued.

“Do you think that these Senior Brothers of mine are good-for-nothings because their cultivation levels are low?”

Ye Ping asked.

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon glanced at Ye Ping and couldn’t help but nod. He really couldn’t take the anger.

He just wanted to see how Ye Ping would explain it.

“Fool.”

In the blink of an eye, Ye Ping spoke, frightening the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon to the point of shuddering.

“So much for calling yourself a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, don’t you know how to put on a disguise?”

“My Senior Brothers are peerless experts whose realms cannot be seen through by ordinary people at all. The reason why their cultivation level on the surface is the Qi Refinement realm, is because of a disguise. Otherwise, if you can see through their realm, wouldn’t you see right away that they’re experts?”

Ye Ping rebuked furiously.

After he said that, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon was stunned.

‘What a way to speak up for them.’

He could understand that peerless experts would sometimes hide their realms but the problem was that it was too realistic.

“That’s a feasible explanation for the realm but how do you explain the fact that he didn’t react at all when I turned my Dharmic Dao into a blade and pretended to attack and kill them previously?”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon couldn’t help but say what he had done previously.

After hearing his words, Ye Ping’s expression changed, but he thought about it and decided to suppress his urge to chant an incantation.

Staring at the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon, he gibed coldly, “Foolish, you’re absolutely foolish.”

“You pretended to sneak an attack on my Senior Brothers, but do you think they didn’t notice because their cultivation levels are weak?”

Ye Ping rebuked furiously.

“Isn’t that the case?”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon asked rhetorically.

“Hmph, I really don’t know how you cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm. You’re really foolish.”

“They’re not afraid of you at all precisely because these few Senior Brothers of mine are peerless experts. They don’t even take you seriously so they didn’t try to resist. Fortunately, you didn’t have a murderous intent at that time. Otherwise, you would definitely have died.”

Ye Ping’s chiding made the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon doubt his life.

‘Damn it, he’s trying so hard to salvage their reputation.’

‘You can argue that way too?’

‘Exalted Immortal, are you crazy?’

‘If it’s like what you said, if an ordinary person doesn’t retaliate when I try to kill them, does that mean that they’re peerless experts too?’

‘That doesn’t make sense at all.’

Upon sight of the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon’s expression, Ye Ping knew that he still did not believe it and thus remained silent immediately. However, Ye Ping soon thought of a solution and a way to explain.

“Do you think I’m strong?”

Ye Ping asked.

“Yes.”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon said.

“I’m being serious.”

Ye Ping continued, afraid that the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon was patronizing him.

“You’re really strong. Exalted Immortal, I don’t mean anything else. In my eyes, it’s no longer about whether you’re strong or not but a matter of absurdity.”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon was not lying.

Ye Ping was not strong but simply absurd.

At the age of twenty-two, he managed to condense the Blood and Qi Furnace, the Golden Wheel of Expiation, and even had a strong realm. He had great Dharmic powers and the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon could tell that he was not just a peerless genius but the elite of elites.

“Well then, do you know? Six months ago, to be more accurate, five months ago, I was just an ordinary mortal who didn’t even know what immortal cultivation was. Do you believe me?”

Ye Ping said seriously.

He inhaled sharply.

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon froze in shock.

He could tell that Ye Ping was not lying. Being a Nascent Soul realm powerhouse, he could tell when someone was lying.

In five months, he reached the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm, condensed the Blood and Qi Furnace, and the Golden Wheel of Expiation?

‘Damn it, he’s a freak, huh?’

He did not believe it, but he knew perfectly well that Ye Ping was not lying.

That meant that Ye Ping was the elite of elites who was rare to come by in 10,000 years.

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon swallowed his saliva.

Ye Ping was satisfied with the expression of the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon.

“You said that my Senior Brothers are not peerless experts so I have to ask you, if they’re not peerless experts, how can I reach such a high level within five months?”

Ye Ping questioned the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon vehemently.

The latter was silent as he was really at a loss for words.

Time passed bit by bit.

Five minutes later.

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon’s eyes were filled with bewilderment as he was at a loss for explanation.

“Da Xu, remember my words, there will always be a greater expert in this world.”

“Da Xu, you’ve been sealed for hundreds of years and times have changed.”

After Ye Ping said those words, he left the room.

After Ye Ping left, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon was the only one left in the room.

Two hours later, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon suddenly snapped back to his senses.

“Could it be that they are really peerless experts?”

Afterwards, he started muttering to himself again.

He did not believe it, but he had to.

At this moment, a loud and clear voice sounded.

“It’s time to eat.”

All of a sudden, the crowd rushed to the Qingyun Dining Hall.

In the Qingyun Dining Hall.

Daoist Tai Hua had been tossing and turning for six hours.

He hadn’t cooked for a long time, and this time, he cooked mainly because all the disciples were present and they were going to celebrate Su Changyu’s safe return.

Hence, Daoist Tai Hua whipped up many delicious dishes for the rare occasion.

There were sixteen dishes and two bowls of soup on the long dining table.

Ye Ping was the first one to arrive in the dining hall, and he immediately looked surprised.

He did not expect Daoist Tai Hua to have such great culinary skills.

The sixteen dishes were colorful, fragrant, and extremely appetizing.

“Ye Ping, ask your friends to come over.”

After Daoist Tai Hua saw Ye Ping, he immediately told him to go bring Xia Qingmo and the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon over.

“Master, isn’t it a family banquet? You want them to join us?”

Ye Ping couldn’t help but ask.

“Since they are your friends, they are the guests of the Qingyun Dao Sect so it’s alright to ask them to come over.”

Daoist Tai Hua told Ye Ping to invite them.

Ye Ping did not say anything more and proceeded to do so.

“Da Xu, are you dead yet? If you’re not, come down for dinner.”

Ye Ping’s voice sounded again.

Just like that, after a while, Xia Qingmo and the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon entered the dining hall one after another.

However, at this moment, there were many people seated by the long table.

Su Changyu, Xu Luochen, and Xiao Muxue were all there.

On the left side, there were Su Changyu, Xu Luochen, Wang Zhuoyu and two disciples whom Ye Ping had never met before. They both looked rather clean and seemed to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Ye Ping reckoned that they should be his Senior Brothers, Xue Zhuan and Lin Bei.

It was Ye Ping’s first time meeting his Fourth and Fifth Senior Brothers.

Xue Zhuan and Lin Bei were also meeting Ye Ping for the first time and they seemed rather excited too.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Xue and Senior Brother Lin.”

Ye Ping hurriedly bowed. Although he was not close to them, he was still respectful and polite.

“Are you Junior Brother Ye Ping? Indeed, you’re very good-looking and you have an extraordinary temperament.”

“Ye Ping, you’re being too polite. Hurry and get seated.”

Ye Ping’s Fourth Senior Brother seemed rather cheery and hurriedly got up to stand in front of Ye Ping enthusiastically.

Lin Bei, his fifth Senior Brother, did not get up but was smiling warmly.

Xiao Muxue and Chen Lingrou were seated at the right side of the long table.

Chen Lingrou greeted Xia Qingmo, who immediately walked over. While drinking some wine, Xiao Muxue sized Xia Qingmo up.

‘Well, she’s beautiful, she’s worthy of Ye Ping.”

Xiao Muxue smiled but remained silent.

Xia Qingmo looked at the crowd, especially Su Changyu and Xiao Muxue. She was honestly shocked when she first saw them.

She was rather composed when she saw Su Changyu because it was not the first time she saw him, but she was truly taken aback when she saw Xiao Muxue and Chen Lingrou.

It was difficult to imagine that the members of a small sect each had a unique aura and were incredibly attractive. Su Changyu, Xiao Muxue, Chen Lingrou, Ye Ping, Xu Luochen were all much better-looking than the elites of the Great Xia Dynasty.

‘This is really a hidden sect that is secretly impressive.’

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon was even more shocked than Xia Qingmo.

The moment he saw Xiao Muxue, he was dumbfounded.

He knew Xiao Muxue.

No, to be more precise, he had seen Xiao Muxue in one of the portraits.

She was an extremely terrifying existence.

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon was completely shocked this time.

He also completely believed what Ye Ping said.

‘This group of people are really experts.’

‘Wow! I never thought that I, Da Xu, would one day be able to cozy up to such powerful people. Woo!’

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon had a lot of thoughts, but he soon realized that Xiao Muxue was glancing at him indifferently. All of a sudden, he immediately shut up and knew that there were some things that he could not say indiscriminately. He planned to sit beside Ye Ping.

At this moment, another figure appeared.

It was Gu Jianxian.

He was a blockhead. As he looked at the dishes on the table, he sat beside Ye Ping and then waited for the meal to begin.

That made the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon displeased.

‘That’s my place.’

However, after thinking about it, the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon held himself back. If not for Ye Ping’s sake, he would have slapped Gu Jianxian.

Finally, as the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon sat down, there was a reunion in the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Daoist Tai Hua especially served two jars of wine that were stained with some soil.

He was obviously in a good mood.

“Tsk, Master, I didn’t expect you to make an exception and let us drink today.”

Xiao Muxue looked at Daoist Tai Hua in shock.

Daoist Tai Hua usually did not allow anyone in the sect to drink.

“I’m in a good mood today, so I decided to make an exception, but you’ll have to drink less.”

Daoist Tai Hua instructed.

“I’ll help pour the wine.”

The Great Purgatory Resentful Demon immediately walked over and poured some wine for everyone.

Ye Ping was pleased with his behavior.

On the other hand, Xia Qingmo was a little surprised. Although she knew that the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon was being suppressed by Ye Ping, she did not expect him to be that polite.

In fact, in the eyes of the Great Purgatory Resentful Demon, it was a great honor to be able to pour wine for a peerless expert.

After the wine was poured, Daoist Tai Hua got up and did not say anything emotional.

He simply glanced at the disciples, and then gulped down a bowl of wine.

In his eyes, wealth, glory, Dao attainment, and Immortal Ascension were all inferior to sitting together with the people he cherished for a meal.

They had three rounds of toasting.

Daoist Tai Hua told them to start eating.

The crowd complied and immediately picked up their chopsticks to dig in. Soon, only half of the 16 dishes were left.

Xiao Muxue was the first to put down her chopsticks. She liked drinking and was not very interested in delicacies. Hence, she only ate a little bit.

However, Xiao Muxue would look at Gu Jianxian from time to time.

She had a calm gaze and did not say much after taking a few more glances.

Chen Lingrou and Gu Jianxian were the ones who ate the most. They basically didn’t stop moving their chopsticks.

Two and a half minutes passed.

Everyone was almost full.

At this point, Su Changyu spoke up.

“Xue Zhuan, Lin Bei, why were you two away for such a long time?”

Su Changyu’s tone was calm as he inquired about the two.

At the mention of it, Daoist Tai Hua’s tone was rather austere.

“Your fourth Junior Brother is really something. When he was out, he got nabbed by some bandits. How embarrassing!”

Daoist Tai Hua said with some dissatisfaction.

When he said this, Xue Zhuan retorted in displeasure.

“Master, it’s because you said that we should not bully the weak. I’m a cultivator, how can I fight with some bandits?”

“Besides, I didn’t lose anything, during the time I was caught, they were responsible for bringing me food and water. To be honest, nowadays, mountain bandits have a hard time making a living. They don’t earn much and the quality of their food is poor. I came back only after a few months.”

Xue Zhuan said.

Ye Ping did not feel much after hearing his words. Peerless experts all had strange personalities and often liked hiding their abilities. When met with the weak, they would not attack, and instead, they had an attitude of having fun in the mortal world.

“What about Lin Bei?”

Su Changyu continued.

“He’s worse. He heard some lies and went to the island by the sea to look for some treasures. In the end, he didn’t find any and even got cheated out of all his taels of silver. Hmph.”

At the mention of Lin Bei, Daoist Tai Hua was even more displeased.

“Master, it’s not my fault, it’s mainly because of that person surnamed Zhu. Ah, forget it, it’s hard to explain. Anyway, I will not let that bastard off if I see him again.”

Lin Bei was troubled.

‘Good-for-nothings.’

Su Changyu secretly said in his heart.

“Okay, okay, stop talking, let’s eat.”

Thinking that it was a reunion meal, Daoist Tai Hua didn’t say anything and let the crowd eat at ease.

After they had had their fill, Ye Ping couldn’t help but speak up.

“Eldest Senior Brother, I have something to ask you. Will you be free later?”

Ye Ping said.

His question was simple, it was about the matter of the Jin Nation Academy’s peerless sword intent.

However, as soon as he said that, Daoist Tai Hua immediately spoke up.

“Ye Ping, I need to talk to Changyu about something later, why don’t you wait until a later time?”

Daoist Tai Hua knew what Ye Ping wanted to talk about and thus hurriedly stopped him. He had to discuss it with Su Changyu beforehand.

Su Changyu was dumbfounded.

Although he didn’t know what exactly was going on, he had to go along with Daoist Tai Hua. “Okay, you can come look for me later.”

“Alright.”

Ye Ping did not think much about it and simply nodded.

Just like that, the meal was quickly finished.

The people left separately.

Two hours later, Su Changyu walked out of the Sect Leader’s room with a resentful and aggrieved look. He really didn’t think that Daoist Tai Hua could say those words for the sake of tricking Ye Ping into going to the Jin Nation Academy.

He was simply taking advantage of his disciple.

However, Su Changyu also knew that the matter had been set in stone and hence, he had to comply.

However, Su Changyu did not go directly to Ye Ping as he planned to think about it carefully for a while before going to see Ye Ping. Otherwise, things would be troublesome if he accidentally said the wrong thing.

Just like that, five days passed.

During those five days, Ye Ping ate and drank in the sect. It was rather relaxing for him.

However on this day, Su Changyu came to see Ye Ping, not for the matter of the sword intent of Jin Nation Academy, but to ask Ye Ping to give Gu Jianxian some guidance.

Yes, he wanted Ye Ping to go give Gu Jianxian some guidance.

However, on this day, a major event caused an uproar in the Ten Nations.

The Nan Nation prodigy defeated all the disciples of various major academies.

He was almost suppressing them.

Although some of the academies did not let the real geniuses fight with him in order to preserve their strength, the fact that he could defeat most people in the Nine Nations was already extremely terrifying.

Only the Jin Nation did not complete the challenge.

According to some predictions, the Nan Nation prodigy would be coming to Jin Nation if nothing went wrong.
