Chapter 1158: Discussing the Dao Ding
Ji Wenchang heard these words, his eyes suddenly lit up, he stepped forward twice and bowed, saying: "Thank you all for your assistance."
The corner of his eye had already caught sight of the Qiankun Ancestor and the White Fox King!
This meant that these three friends not only helped them suppress the Evil Dragon, but also eliminated formidable opponents like the Qiankun Ancestor and White Fox King!
These three are definitely masters!
"Who are these people?"
Beside him, the Dou Su Saint frowned slightly, his gaze settling on Ye Xuan, a hint of suspicion flashing across his eyes.
He had never seen Ye Xuan nor knew who Ye Xuan was.
However, he felt a different kind of crisis.
This time they came to support Floating Mountain to maximize benefits in the alliance.
But the appearance of these three made Dou Su Palace's presence diminish, so it would be difficult to secure more benefits when allying with Floating Mountain.
"Saint Heir, that person seems a bit familiar."
Beside the Dou Su Saint, an elder with white hair scrutinized Qiao Xinyu behind Ye Xuan intently, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
The Dou Su Saint's gaze also fell on Qiao Xinyu.
After watching for a while, the Dou Su Saint still didn't know who this person was.
This person dressed in black, with a black veil covering her face, hid her aura, making it impossible to judge based on her aura.
But that familiar feeling emerged in their hearts.
They were sure they had seen this person somewhere.
Qiao Xinyu naturally noticed the gazes from the Dou Su Saint and others, but she didn't care.
She had seen these guys before.
When she returned to Dingzhou Immortal Crossing Sect and participated in the Tripod Worship Ceremony, she had met these people.
But at that time, she was not in this outfit.
In front of people, she was a Princess of the Southern Dipper Ancient Country, the most gifted Supreme of Immortal Crossing Sect in history.
But in front of Ye Xuan, she was just an ordinary member of the Black Blade Sect, nothing more.
"Consider this a greeting gift."
Ye Xuan faced Ji Family Saint Master Ji Wenchang of Floating Mountain directly and said calmly: "Let's talk about the Dao Ding."
Ji Wenchang signaled the Great Elder to suppress the Qiankun Ancestor and White Fox King, and clasped his hands towards Ye Xuan, solemnly saying: "Please come into the hall for a discussion."
Ji Wenchang had already guessed who Ye Xuan was!
Ye Xuan who swept across the East Desolate!
Earlier, his daughter Ji Ziqing had sent a message wanting to know about Ye Xuan, at that time he had investigated.
The final outcome was not to investigate.
He also warned his daughter Ji Ziqing not to act recklessly.
"Seeing is believing, Young Master Ye is truly a phoenix among men!"
Welcoming Ye Xuan and his group into the main hall, Ji Wenchang said somewhat reservedly to Ye Xuan.
Ji Wenchang appeared to be just over thirty years old, with a scholarly aura on him, if not for sitting in the main seat, one wouldn't tell he was the Saint Master of Floating Mountain.
Ye Xuan sat in the chief seat on the left.
The Qiankun Ancestor sat below, and Qiao Xinyu stood behind Ye Xuan, not seated.
For this reason, among those entering the hall, only Ji Wenchang from Floating Mountain sat, while the other Great Elders and others stood.
The Dou Su Palace people, being guests, were seated.
The matter of the Dao Ding, although seen as a secret to the outside world, was not a secret in Floating Mountain, nor to the Guardian Gods of Eight States.
Therefore, Ji Wenchang had no reservations about discussing the Dao Ding this time.
"Previously the condition was for my daughter Youwei to directly become the Holy Daughter of Floating Mountain, bearing the Dao Ding, at that time you thought it needed consideration, giving my daughter Youwei a position as a candidate for Holy Daughter."
Ye Xuan ignored the others, his gaze fell on Ji Wenchang, saying slowly: "Now, I want you to directly announce that my daughter Youwei will bear the Dao Ding."
"What?!"
As soon as Ye Xuan's words came out, a group of elders from Ji Family of Floating Mountain in the main hall were moved, looking towards Ji Wenchang.
Ji Wenyan also looked at Ji Wenchang, frowning, and said: "Saint Master, you should discuss this with the Elders first."
Ji Wenyan is Ji Wenchang's elder brother, but in this setting, he must address him as Saint Master.
Even Ji Wenchang's daughter Ji Ziqing must call him Saint Master in front of people to demonstrate fairness within Floating Mountain.
Ji Wenchang first raised his hand to calm everyone down, then looked at Ye Xuan and said: "Young Master Ye's grace to my Floating Mountain, our Floating Mountain won't forget, but the matter of bearing the Dao Ding still needs time to prove, otherwise it would be completely unfair to others joining my Floating Mountain."
"In this regard, I hope Young Master Ye can understand."
Ji Wenchang smiled apologetically.
Regarding the matter of the Dao Ding's bearer, even though Ji Wenchang is the Saint Master, he can't make the decision alone.
"Haha, this Young Master's request is indeed somewhat amusing."
At this time, the Dou Su Saint smiled slightly, looked at Ye Xuan, and said slowly: "Although this Young Master has done a favor to Floating Mountain, that's not an excuse to make such requests, if everyone acted like you, what would the Guardian Gods of Nine Provinces be guarding?"
With these words, many high-level members of Ji Family of Floating Mountain nodded secretly, feeling that the Dou Su Saint's words were quite reasonable.
The Qiankun Ancestor glanced at the Dou Su Saint with indifference and said: "My master's words, what's your business, little brat?"
The Dou Su Saint heard this, smiled indifferently and said: "I'm just objectively expressing my opinion; senior need not be angry."
"Angry?" The Qiankun Ancestor grinned: "If I were angry, you wouldn't have a chance to babble here."
The Dou Su Saint's eyes flashed with mockery but he said no more.
The Qiankun Ancestor saw the brat did not interrupt again and said nothing, but secretly thought about showing this brat some lessons when there's a chance.
Ye Xuan ignored the squabble between the Qiankun Ancestor and the Dou Su Saint and fingered the armrest of the chair unconsciously, speaking slowly: "Don't think this is Floating Mountain's loss, frankly, it's Floating Mountain's fortune."
"Pfft..."
The Dou Su Saint couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone's gaze turned towards him.
The Dou Su Saint tried to stifle his laughter and waved his hand, saying: "I'm not mocking this Young Master, I just can't help it, this joke is too funny."
Beside the Dou Su Palace people also had peculiar expressions.
The people of Floating Mountain, however, had somewhat black faces.
The Qiankun Ancestor stood up slowly, his boundless aura covering the entire hall.
"Little Qiankun."
Ye Xuan waved his hand, indicating the Qiankun Ancestor needn't bother.
The Qiankun Ancestor restrained his aura, sat back down, and said nothing.
"Dou Su Palace, huh..."
Behind Ye Xuan, Qiao Xinyu's charming face was already thick with frost.
"Floating Mountain guards the Dao Ding, the Dao Ding's fate suppresses the Evil Dragon, every generation needs a bearer for the Dao Ding, if the bearer is too weak, it will lead to the Dao Ding's fate failing to suppress the Evil Dragon."
Ji Wenchang looked at Ye Xuan, word by word, saying: "The Guardian Gods of Nine Provinces, Mystic Yellow Nine Cauldrons, haven't had a bearer in ninety thousand years, so..."
"Therefore, a bearer is even more needed." Ye Xuan interrupted Ji Wenchang and said indifferently: "If my daughter Youwei bears the Dao Ding, then the Evil Dragon in the Eight Diagrams Heavenly Thunder Array will never emerge again."
