Heaven Slaying Blade

The emperor sighed inwardly: this cunning little boy has almost gathered all the top powers of Yanhuang City around him. In the end, the Royal Academy of the Piaomiao Palace... is still theirs!

But after experiencing so much, the emperor had also come to terms.

The whole matter, when traced to its origin, was still on him, the emperor!

If he hadn't been swayed by the crown prince to issue that marriage decree, Shen Xingxue wouldn't have thought of granting immortality to Miao Yi Niang. Without that idea, they naturally wouldn't have attracted that terrifying woman, and there wouldn't have been the subsequent incidents where the crown prince's eyes were ruined, and Mr. Tantai was severely injured.

Even though he was angry that his daughter favored outsiders, the emperor understood that she wanted to repay Chu Mo's kindness, and her actions were not unfounded.

So in the end, the whole thing was rooted in his decree.

Afterward, Chu Mo bid farewell to the emperor and Mr. Tantai, left the underground palace, and returned to the royal palace.

After Chu Mo listed out the medicinal materials he needed and gave them to the emperor, he took his leave.

Just as he returned to his mansion, a servant brought him an invitation which was sent to him when he was not at home.

Chu Mo opened the invitation, and was slightly taken aback after reading its content.

The invitation was actually sent by Wang Dafa.

It invited Chu Mo to attend a banquet at Wang Dafa's mansion that evening.

As for the purpose of the banquet, and who else would attend it, nothing was mentioned!

Chu Mo was somewhat puzzled. As a golden elder of the Azure Dragon Hall, anything Wang Dafa does would not be done carelessly.

His headache should have healed by now, unless he didn't trust those elixirs and had them secretly tested… If that was the case, he couldn't expect Chu Mo to refine a second batch for him!

An invitation without mentioning the theme of the banquet…

Chu Mo thought about it, staring at the invitation, and suddenly seemed to understand something.

He then instructed his servants, "Prepare a suit for me to wear to the banquet. I'm going to attend it this evening."

As the sun set and the sky was painted with the colors of the evening, Chu Mo's carriage arrived at the entrance of the "Wang Mansion".

Someone came to welcome Chu Mo and guide him towards the banquet hall.

Chu Mo casually asked, "Where is your master?"

The one who welcomed Chu Mo was a young servant, only about eighteen or nineteen years old. He showed his teeth in a grin to Chu Mo, "Please don't take offense, Young Master Chu. Our master is currently entertaining distinguished guests and has asked me to personally explain to you why he could not come to receive you himself."

"Oh, are there not many people at the banquet tonight?" Chu Mo asked again.

The servant glanced left and right and whispered, "People…there are quite a few, but most of them are keeping a low profile."

The corner of Chu Mo's eyebrow lifted slightly and it became clear to him, the people attending the banquet tonight, were from the Azure Dragon Hall!

Although the Azure Dragon Hall has considerable influence all over the Azure Dragon Continent and the audacity to disdain worldly imperial power. But they always keep a low profile. The ability and audacity to disdain worldly imperial power, doesn't mean that they actually do so.

Because even if they possess forces that can override imperial power, they still… have to live in this world. There are too many places where they can utilize the royal house.

Therefore, the relationship between the two parties is instead mostly good understanding.

Chu Mo didn't ask anymore and followed the young servant into the banquet hall.

As soon as Chu Mo entered, he felt the atmosphere in the banquet hall become slightly stiff. Many people who were in conversation stopped talking and all looked in the direction of the entrance.

There were not too many people in the banquet hall, but there were still around fifty.

Many people looked at Chu Mo with curiosity, as if to say: So this is Chu Mo?

At the same time, Chu Mo felt a few probing gazes, that gaze… seemed not very friendly.

Chu Mo looked towards those gazes, and found that the owners of those gazes were all young, about the same age as him. But they were noble in demeanor, arrogant in attitude, and the clothes they were wearing, although not striking at first glance, were made of selected materials and delicately crafted, clearly from famous tailors.

At this point, a hearty laughter came from inside, "Brother Chu Mo arrived? Haha, elder brother didn't give you a warm welcome, I hope you forgive me!"

Wang Dafa got up and walked towards Chu Mo, while saying, "This is Chu Mo, the grandson of Senior General Fan. Don't underestimate him, he is very impressive. My years of chronic headaches were cured by him. You've probably all heard of Prince Xia Jing, right? - the one who is devoid of humanity. He sought out all renowned doctors but none could cure him. It was our Young Master Chu who took a hand and directly cured his illness."

As Wang Dafa said this, he walked in front of Chu Mo, "Brother Chu, please don't blame elder brother for not informing you earlier, it's just that all the dignitaries present today are high-ranking individuals from the Azure Dragon Hall. Elder brother feared that if word leaked out, it might cause trouble for young brother, so he didn't notify you in advance."

Chu Mo smiled faintly and nodded to everyone.

Wang Dafa took Chu Mo's arm and said, "Come, let's move to the main seat, elder brother will introduce you to some bigshots!"

Chu Mo was thinking: you Wang Dafa are already a golden elder, possessing a high status within the Azure Dragon Hall, who besides the master of Azure Dragon Hall, can be considered bigshots by you?

The faces of many people in the banquet hall showed shock when they saw Wang Dafa's attitude.

As a golden elder of the Azure Dragon Hall, Wang Dafa's position within the entire Azure Dragon Hall was extremely high. Most of the people present were silver chiefs and many were bronze managers. Although everyone was a core figure within the Azure Dragon Hall, they were still not comparable to Wang Dafa in terms of status.

Therefore, after seeing Wang Dafa's attitude toward Chu Mo, most of the people put aside their previous disdain for Chu Mo.

They began to seriously consider this young man.

Wang Dafa led Chu Mo to his table, and laughed, "Let me introduce to you all, this is Chu Mo, whose medical skills are extraordinarily brilliant, he cured my headaches."

As he said this, he looked at Chu Mo, introducing one after another, "This is Zhao Qing, a golden elder of the Azure Dragon Hall, and also a famous elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect on the Azure Dragon Continent!"

Chu Mo looked at the thin elder and smiled faintly, bowing in salute. He thought to himself; Heavenly Sword Sect? Could it be the sect of Leng Qiuming, whom I met on the prairie?

Chu Mo clearly remembered that after he obtained Heaven Slaying, he teased Leng Qiuming and his associates a bit. After that, he lost contact with them. Deep down, Chu Mo's impression of Leng Qiuming was not very good.

At this point, Zhao Qing looked at Chu Mo, nodded slightly, and gave a casual "oh", not giving much of a response which was quite reserved of him.

Not taking offense, Wang Dafa even seemed to welcome this cold attitude towards Chu Mo.

The primary reason for inviting Chu Mo today was that the matter of the Royal Academy of the Piaomiao Palace has drawn high attention from the Azure Dragon Hall! (To be continued.
