Having been defeated by Qing Xuanzi and witnessing Qing Xuanzi's successive, dominant victories against his challengers, Cang Heng's heart grew heavy.
He glanced at the arena, then dejectedly walked back towards his sect's location.
The Wuxiang Sect was not a celestial sect, nor even a force with Supreme combat power. The strongest person in the Wuxiang Sect was Cang Heng's master, who was only at the peak of the Guiyi Realm.
(The Guiyi Realm is the Quasi-Supreme Realm, which is the Quasi-Emperor of the human race in the mortal world, as mentioned earlier, and will be uniformly called the Guiyi Realm from now on)
Originally, the Wuxiang Sect was not qualified to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of the Yao family's little princess, but Cang Heng heard from his master, Wuxiang Daoist, that an old ancestor of their Wuxiang Sect had a past with the Yao family, so they were invited to attend the banquet.
His master, Wuxiang Daoist, also took this opportunity to bring all his junior brothers and sisters. There were not many people, only eight including him, not even enough to fill a round table of "perfection".
However, because they were invited, they didn't have to wait for a full table to start eating like some freeloaders.
Cang Heng walked towards his sect's location, his mind heavy with thoughts, when suddenly, a pleasant and melodious female voice stopped him.
"Senior Brother, you're finally back! I thought you were so devastated that you'd leave without us," a petite and exquisite woman walked towards Cang Heng.
Seeing the woman, Cang Heng showed a wry smile and said, "Linglong, in your eyes, am I such a person who can't take a blow?"
"Who knows? After all, you lost so miserably just now!" the woman mercilessly retorted.
"You little Shangguan Linglong, how dare you disrespect your senior brother like this? You're asking for a beating," Cang Heng said playfully.
Shangguan Linglong made a face at Cang Heng and then said, "Senior Brother, do you know anyone here?"
"What?" Cang Heng was stunned, not understanding why Shangguan Linglong was asking this.
"Someone is looking for you." Shangguan Linglong pointed Cang Heng in a direction. Cang Heng looked and saw three people standing on the corridor outside the square, one man and two women.
"Looking for me? What's it about?" Cang Heng frowned.
"How would I know? Why don't you go ask yourself?" Shangguan Linglong rolled her eyes at Cang Heng, "But that man looks very handsome. Senior Brother, do you really know him? Introduce me!"
"Introduce you my foot! You don't cultivate seriously on weekdays, what are you thinking about all day?" Cang Heng knocked Shangguan Linglong on the head. Shangguan Linglong cried out in pain, glaring at Cang Heng.
"You wait, I'll go back and tell Master that you're bullying me again," Shangguan Linglong said.
"Whatever, tell Master when you get back. I'll go see what's going on first."
Cang Heng waved his hand at Shangguan Linglong and then walked towards Li Beifei and the others.
"Tch! You must be jealous that I said someone else was handsome, that's why you hit me. Childish!" Shangguan Linglong pouted and then left.
Cang Heng shook his head helplessly.
Soon, Cang Heng arrived at the corridor and met Li Beifei and the others.
"We shouldn't know each other, why are you looking for me?" Cang Heng said, looking at Li Beifei. Although Li Beifei's cultivation fluctuation was only at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, weaker than the two women behind him, for some reason, the moment he saw Li Beifei, there was a voice in his heart telling him to be careful of this person.
This feeling was the first time he had experienced it in his nine hundred years of cultivation.
"We didn't know each other before, but now we do, right? My name is Li Beifei," Li Beifei said with a smile.
The two women behind him, Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran, couldn't help but reveal surprised expressions when they heard their young master actually reveal his real name to Cang Heng.
"We have never met before, and we are not related, how can I believe you?" Cang Heng said. He didn't believe that Li Beifei was really called "Li Beifei."
"..." Li Beifei.
I went, I told you the truth, why don't you believe me? You have to say I'm Bai Yifei to believe me, right?
"Whether you believe it or not is your business, I'm looking for you just to make a friend," Li Beifei didn't explain too much.
"Make friends?" Cang Heng's eyebrows were almost furrowed into the shape of the character "川". Someone suddenly ran out to say they wanted to make friends, how could he believe that?
Moreover, that feeling in his heart was still there, making him even more afraid to easily trust Li Beifei.
"You're very wary of me!" Li Beifei suddenly said.
Cang Heng didn't hide it, he nodded and said, "If you were in my position, you would be just as wary."
Li Beifei nodded, then said helplessly, "I really want to be friends with you. Besides, you, plus your sect, don't have anything that I would covet, right?"
Cang Heng curled his lips. Although what Li Beifei said made sense, he still said, "That's not necessarily true, what if you coveted our Junior Sister Linglong?"
"..."
"Think whatever you want," Li Beifei really didn't want to explain any further. The more he explained, the more the other party would suspect he had some purpose.
But heavens, this time he really didn't think about tricking anyone.
"Anything else? If not, I'll leave first," Cang Heng asked.
"Go, go!" Li Beifei waved his hand helplessly.
Seeing this, Cang Heng took a deep look at Li Beifei and then left.
After Cang Heng left, Liu Yuran asked, "Young Master, why did you want to get to know him? Is there something special about him?"
Liu Yanran also looked at Li Beifei curiously. In the past, when Young Master met strangers, he would never reveal his real name, he would always use the name of Young Master Bai. It was too strange that he revealed his real name this time.
"It's nothing, I just think he looks a lot like a friend of mine," Li Beifei said with a smile, but he didn't explain further.
"I see." The two women didn't ask further.
Li Beifei looked at Cang Heng's departing figure. In his eyes, that figure gradually overlapped with the figure of a classmate of his in the Human Dao Academy.
That person was called Zhao Tie, from a small sect called Lingxi Sect in Tianhuang Star, who dreamed of developing Lingxi Sect into an immortal sect.
Cang Heng also wanted to develop his sect into a Immortal King force.
Both came from small sects, both had the same ambition. Li Beifei originally thought it was a coincidence, but the Old Six in his body told him.
Cang Heng, is the reincarnation of Zhao Tie.
Li Beifei didn't know that Zhao Tie had already fallen in the Starry Sky Ancient Road, but he learned it from Old Six just now.
Thinking of Zhao Tie, Li Beifei remembered the battle between Zhao Tie and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi in Tian Duan Mountain. At that time, Zhao Tie was defeated, and he even wanted to sneak attack the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, but he failed.
"Old Six, my master's wife only succeeded in reincarnating in the Taixu Realm after five hundred thousand years. Cang Heng should be about a thousand years old, how did he reincarnate so quickly?" Li Beifei asked.
"Probably related to the reincarnation of the mortal world!" Old Six said.
"You don't even know?" Li Beifei was surprised.
"Nonsense, I'm just a wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi, do you think I'm omnipotent?" Old Six scolded.
"Tch!" Li Beifei curled his lips in disdain.
"You can go ask Gu Changsheng, I didn't stop you," Old Six teased.
"Uh..."
Asking the old guy, forget it, lest the problem is not solved, and I get beaten up again.
"Boom!"
Just then, the arena changed again. Qing Xuanzi, who had already won five consecutive victories, was punched off the arena by another person.
