Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 108: Banquet for All
Twenty-seven.

As the sun rose, on the official road outside Suzhou Prefecture, carriages or disciples of local gangs could be seen almost every few meters.

There are even some forces traveling together.

Among them are first-class forces such as Baijianmen and Qianri Pavilion.

The direction they were heading was Yuyang City, which was only a hundred miles away from Suzhou Prefecture.

By the end of the Si hour, all the hundreds of tables in the front hall of Shen's Villa were occupied.

Those who came later could only be seated in the side hall near the front hall.

Outside this front hall, almost all the second- and third-rank forces around Jiangnan are included.

There are many forces that are hostile to each other or at odds with each other.

But today, even if these forces dislike each other, no one dares to cause trouble.

In the front hall, there was only one table.

The six people sitting at this table were all the leaders of the other six first-class forces around Jiangnan.

Liu Wangqing, the leader of the Baijian Sect in Suzhou Prefecture, Yin Hongsheng, the leader of the Jujing Gang in Songjiang Prefecture, Lan Tianzong, the leader of the Qianri Pavilion in Jiaxing Prefecture, Fang Shunan, the leader of the Wanxiang Sect in Huzhou Prefecture, Zhang Hong, the leader of the Xuanting Sect in Baijiang Prefecture, and Wan Jianghai, the leader of the Tianren Sect in Zhenjiang Prefecture.

The Ming Dynasty is vast, far surpassing the world of Shen Ping'an in his previous life.

In this state alone, there are dozens of provincial capitals.

Although the Shen family was established in Yuyang City, its sphere of influence was in Jiangnan Prefecture.

With so many martial arts sects and forces gathered at the Shen family, it stands to reason that the front hall should be bustling with people today.

But as everyone took their seats, the leaders of these forces became particularly quiet.

Especially the disciples standing behind these masters, their expressions were solemn.

Even when talking to each other, they unconsciously lowered their voices.

It seemed as if something was restraining everyone, making the atmosphere inexplicably cohesive.

Not only outside the front hall, but even inside the front hall, the leaders of the six forces including Baijianmen and Qianri Pavilion all looked solemn, with dim and unclear eyes.

Being able to take charge of a first-rank force, whether it is Liu Wangqing, the leader of Baijian Sect, or the other five people at the table, their cultivation has all entered the Tiangang realm.

With their cultivation and experience, they could naturally clearly feel the sharp aura that was filling the Shen family at this time.

At first, when the few of them stepped into the villa and felt the sharp aura that filled the villa, they thought it was a show of force from the young master Yu of the Shen family.

But soon, they could feel that the awe-inspiring aura that filled the villa was not directed at them, although it was condensed and not concentrated.

After asking, I found out that the sharp aura in the villa actually came from that Young Master Yu.

And this situation has been going on for several months.

As the leaders of a first-class force, the six of them are not those young men who have just entered the world of martial arts.

Naturally, one can distinguish that these sharp auras are clearly caused by sword energy and sword intent.

But the key point is that several people can't figure out how strong the sword energy and sword intent must be to make the entire Shen's Villa filled with such a cold breath?

At this moment, a singing voice suddenly sounded from outside the front yard.

"Master Song of the Wudang Sect has arrived with gifts!"

Hearing the sound, everyone in the front yard turned their heads and looked towards the entrance.

When they saw Song Yuanqiao, Yu Daying and Mo Shenggu, everyone in the front yard was surprised.

Obviously, no one expected that the Wudang Sect would show up uninvited when the Shen family invited everyone to a banquet today.

Moreover, the people arranged were Song Yuanqiao, Yu Daying and Mo Shenggu, three of Zhang Sanfeng's direct disciples.

Seeing Song Yuanqiao and others being brought into the courtyard by the Shen family, Shen Tiannan immediately stood up to greet them.

Facing Shen Tiannan, neither Song Yuanqiao, Yu Daying, nor Mo Shenggu dared to be arrogant and they quickened their pace.

When he got closer, Song Yuanqiao said, "I came here uninvited, I hope Master Shen will not be offended."

Hearing this, Shen Tiannan smiled and said, "Master Song, that's not true. My son has caused a lot of trouble for the Wudang Sect over the years since he joined the sect. I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of him."

"You're welcome, Qingfeng is a well-behaved kid, so why would there be any trouble? And if it weren't for Qingfeng, Master Shen wouldn't have appeared at Bright Summit that day. We're all thanks to Qingfeng!"

"No, it's just a coincidence."

After the Shen family member took the gift box handed over by Mo Shenggu, the three of them sat down in the hall together.

Facing Song Yuanqiao, the other people at the table did not dare to neglect him and also stood up to greet him.

At the gate of Shen's Villa, several leaders of second-tier factions were about to lead their disciples into the Shen family when they suddenly felt a commotion behind them. Turning around, their eyes lit up when they saw a group of beautiful women in white dresses.

However, as the group of women approached, everyone felt a pang of fear when they saw the emblems of Yihua Palace on their clothes and quickly looked away.

Some people who were standing at the gate of the Shen family immediately retreated to the side, for fear of blocking the way of the group of Yihua Palace disciples.

When the carriage stopped at the door, a disciple of Yihua Palace with a gentle temperament, delicate and dignified appearance immediately jumped onto the carriage and lifted the curtain in front of the carriage.

After Yao Yue and Lian Xing got off the carriage one after another, the Yihua Palace disciple who had just come in immediately stepped forward and stood in front of the Shen family members at the door.

"Please inform everyone that to congratulate the Shen family on their new construction, Yihua Palace has invited Palace Master Yue and Palace Master Lianxing to come with gifts."

After saying this, the Yihua Palace disciple waved his hand gently, and ten Yihua Palace disciples behind him stepped forward holding gift boxes.

Seeing the Yihua Palace disciple holding the gift box in front of him, the older member of the Shen family at the door quickly stepped aside and said, "Please come in!"

Seeing this, Yao Yue took a step back with one hand behind his back, while Lian Xing took a step slower before taking a step forward.

However, just as the two of them had just set off, Yao Yue suddenly turned her head as if she sensed something.

Immediately afterwards, Lian Xing also realized something and looked towards the east.

As my gaze focused, I saw a gentle figure approaching from afar, and in a few blinks of an eye, it had moved to the entrance of the villa.

"Please tell everyone that the third wife of the Zhang family has come with gifts to congratulate the Shen family on their new construction."

After saying this, Zhang Sanniang turned her head to look at Yao Yue, a gentle smile on her lips: "Sanniang greets the two palace masters."

However, facing the smile on Zhang Sanniang's beautiful face, Yao Yue's eyes turned slightly cold. After a light snort, he continued to walk towards the gate of the villa.

Yao Yue had just started to set off when Zhang Sanniang also stepped forward and walked side by side with Yao Yue.

In response to this, Yao Yue paused for a moment and then moved forward again.

But a cold voice followed.

"It seems that the lesson I taught you last time was not enough."

Zhang Sanniang said as she lifted her jade steps lightly, "How can we teach a lesson from a temporary setback? Sanniang believes that fortunes will always change."

Her tone was still gentle, but her words clearly contained a hint of provocation.

In response to what Zhang Sanniang said, Yao Yue stopped moving forward again, and her eyes fell on Zhang Sanniang.

In response, Zhang Sanniang looked at Yao Yue without hesitation.

"Sister, it's almost time for the banquet at noon."

As if realizing Yao Yue's intention at the moment, Lian Xing, who was following behind, suddenly lowered her voice and said something.

The implication was to remind Yao Yue not to let Zhang Sanniang affect the Shen family's banquet for all parties today.

Hearing this, Yao Yue took a deep breath, and a cold voice slowly rang out.

"I hope that after the banquet, your strength will be as strong as your words."

Zhang Sanniang continued smiling as she said, "I don't think Palace Master Yaoyue will be disappointed."

Yao Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Zhang Sanniang. She realized that after not seeing her for half a year, her annoyance towards Zhang Sanniang had increased instead of decreased.

"Ok?"

However, as the two of them stepped into the villa and walked a few dozen steps, Yao Yue frowned slightly as if she had noticed something.

Not only Yao Yue, but also Zhang Sanniang standing beside her showed a look of surprise.

"Why is the sword energy in this villa so strong?"

Perhaps I had explained too much today. As soon as Zhang Sanniang finished speaking, the Shen family member who was leading the way spoke up, "This is the sword energy left behind by the young master's daily practice. Please don't be offended."

Listening to what the Shen family members said, Zhang Sanniang and Lian Xing nodded slightly.

Although Yao Yue did not react, she couldn't help but feel a little confused and curious.

"Yihua Palace invites Palace Master Yue, and Palace Master Lianxing brings gifts to congratulate."

"Mrs. Zhang Jiayu, Mrs. Zhang Sanniang has come with gifts to congratulate you."

In the front yard, as the two singing voices sounded one after another, the front hall, which originally had a somewhat weird atmosphere, suddenly became a bit noisy.

If it was a bit surprising that the Shen family's banquet attracted the Wudang Sect, then the arrival of Yao Yue, Lian Xing and Zhang Sanniang was even more surprising.

At once, everyone turned their heads and looked towards the courtyard entrance.
