Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 242 Powerful Figures from Various Palaces

With a light touch of her toes, she transformed into a purple shadow and landed steadily on the obsidian seat.

"Oh my, this is the Middle Lord of the Holy Light Palace, Lord Yu Liuhua!" someone exclaimed in surprise.

Although the Holy Vanguard Selection Tournament is held quite often, there are still some people who are visiting Zhongzhou for the first time. They asked with some doubt, "The Middle Hall Master of the Holy Light Hall? Didn't their Hall Master come?"

These words just happened to ask the question that was on Guan Xun's mind. She couldn't help but tilt her head slightly, her interest in gossip growing more serious.

"You wish! The Palace Master isn't so easy to meet, and he certainly wouldn't appear in this kind of setting. You should be content with having the Middle Palace Master show up for you."

The man chuckled and said, "The situation of the three main halls is quite complicated. Because there are so many branch halls, they are almost spread throughout the entire Central Continent. Therefore, there are five middle hall masters under the hall masters, who are specifically responsible for managing the various branch halls in their respective areas."

"This Lady Yu Liuhua is one of the five middle hall masters of the Holy Light Hall. You know the bounty in the city, right? It was issued by her."

Upon hearing this, Guan Xun was slightly taken aback. So, the branch hall in Moxi City was under the jurisdiction of Yu Liuhua.

"So all the important figures appearing this time are the middle hall masters of the three major halls?" someone asked again.

"That's true. Of course, it's hard to guess what the people in those halls are thinking. Some people who just want to watch the excitement will also come to the scene, like the wife of the True Inheritance Hall Master. I heard that she comes to every Holy Edge Selection Conference."

"It seems she is also very accomplished in cultivation, as she often comes to watch the younger generation spar."

"Hahahaha, you're wrong. The lady of the True Inheritance Hall is just an ordinary person with no cultivation whatsoever."

"So she still has time to watch the spirit master competition?"

"Who knows? I heard she has no children. Maybe she just likes the lively atmosphere here. After all, she's getting old and wants to see some energetic young people."

The man was surprised: "You're wrong, aren't you? No children? I've heard that some of the contestants this time are young masters from the main hall of the true lineage."

"Hey, keep your voice down. This isn't something we can discuss. How could the Temple Master tolerate having no heir? Naturally, he needs to find someone to continue the family line."

"However, even so, I heard that the master of the True Inheritance Hall is still deeply in love with his wife."

……

The two of them chatted on and on, their conversation seemingly unrelated to the truth of their words, and they nearly uncovered the secrets of the three main halls.

After a while, other lords of the central hall took their seats one after another, and the originally empty seats were now reduced to just a few scattered spots.

"Wow!"

Just as everyone was taking their seats, a piercing eagle cry tore through the sky and echoed from within the clouds. Then, the clouds dispersed and a gray-blue figure swept down from them.

Guan Xun squinted and looked up, and was shocked to find a giant eagle. On the back of the giant eagle, a figure stood with his hands behind his back. Before the giant eagle could land, the person flashed and landed on the seat below.

As she glanced around, she was surprised to find that the old man's aura was extremely terrifying. Just as a sense of astonishment welled up in her heart, the people around her began to whisper among themselves.

"This is Elder Eagle Eye of Shangju Pavilion. I have had the honor of meeting him once."

Upon hearing this, Guan Xun was slightly startled, and then looked at the old man named Eagle Eye with a probing gaze once again.

This man was rather thin and looked to be over 100 years old, but his eyes were particularly sharp and carried an indescribable ruthlessness.

Even with her current cultivation level of 92, which has already surpassed the level 90 threshold, she still couldn't see through the aura of the Eagle-Eyed Elder.

One can imagine how terrifying its strength is.

Such terrifying power and strength, and it turns out that he is just an elder of Shangju Pavilion... It seems that Guan Qi's subordinates are not to be underestimated.

Guan Xun believed that with her current strength, she was confident she could defeat the eagle-eyed elder alone, but if other people of similar strength attacked her together, then her chances would be slim.

As he pondered this, two sharp whooshing sounds broke through the noise in the arena.

Several enormous green vines were suddenly flung into the Sacred Edge Altar, and as if they possessed sentience, they appeared on the seat with a dark figure.

While everyone was still in shock, the dark figure who had just landed on the seat with the blue vines burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Elder Hawkeye arrived quite quickly this time."

No sooner had the man finished speaking than a hoarse laugh suddenly rang out in the room.

You can't hear its shadow, only its voice, which also carries a faint sour smell.

"Hehehe, Qing Teng, you're not slow either."

As the words fell, a brown shadow flickered through the crowd and, in the blink of an eye, landed in a seat.

Qing Teng flicked his robes, turned to look at the brown figure who had just taken his seat, and smiled: "Elder Mud Woman, you've come too."

The mud woman was rather short, dressed in burlap clothes, looking sloppy and out of place with the people around her.

She flicked the dirt off her fingernails a couple of times, then picked at her ear, grinning casually, "Boring, boring, let's see what kind of amazing little guys are in this year's class."

Seeing the mud-covered woman's disheveled appearance and her consistently incomprehensible movements, Guan Xun was slightly taken aback. Wasn't this the same disheveled old woman with whom she had traded the disguise pill at the trading market?

I thought he was particularly strong back then, but I never expected that he was from Shangju Pavilion!

Elder Eagle Eye, standing to the side, was particularly aloof, his wrinkled face expressionless, seemingly unconcerned about the conversation between the two, merely frowning as he surveyed the situation in the arena.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that Elder Mud Woman, who usually stays at the trading market, would also come to join in the fun." A man's light laughter suddenly rang out from the side.

Guan Xun glanced casually and happened to meet the fierce gaze of the little fox that Duan Huaiyan was holding, which was baring its sharp teeth at her.

Her eyes turned slightly cold, and she glared at it with a hint of murderous intent. This ugly thing... really knows how to take advantage of its master's power.

The little fox wasn't very brave to begin with, but it was only because it was being held by its owner that it acted so recklessly. When it was glared at so fiercely, it whimpered a few times and buried its head.

Duan Huaiyan patted its head and looked at Guan Xun with a smile: "Miss, you should be kind-hearted. Don't scare my little fox."

Guan Xun: ...

Guan Xuncai couldn't be bothered with him.

However, Duan Huaiyan was an odd person; the more others ignored him, the more interested he became in striking up a conversation.

"You look unfamiliar to me. May I ask which faction in Zhongzhou you come from?"

Guan Xun sighed inwardly and casually replied, "A wanderer, not worth mentioning."

"Oh, I see. Alas... what a pity. If you were as beautiful as a flower, I wouldn't mind if you joined my Heavenly Palace."

Guan Xun: ...

In the next few attempts to strike up a conversation, Guan Xun ignored Duan Huaiyan and eventually grew bored and shut his mouth.

Suddenly, the heavy thud of guards marching in perfect unison came from the entrance avenue below the Holy Vanguard Altar.

The deafening sound almost drowned out all the noise in the arena, and a spiritual master with a keen sense of the five senses could faintly sense the tremors of the ground.

With such a large group, one can imagine the pomp and circumstance of the people who came.

Someone couldn't help but stand up slightly and peek out: "With this kind of pomp and circumstance, it seems that the Lady of the True Inheritance Hall has arrived."

Lady of the Palace?

Guan Xun also raised his eyebrows with a hint of curiosity and looked in that direction.
