Chapter 170

If Haotian's consciousness were to detect Sang Sang's abnormality, it might very well lead to that entity suddenly descending upon Sang Sang.

If it really came to that.

Jiang Chen did not believe that he could contend with Haotian with his current strength at the Land Immortal realm.

It was precisely because of this.

That he was thinking of various ways to get more people to come to Snow Moon City to challenge the pavilion.

If Land Immortal strength wasn't enough, then he would raise his cultivation to the God realm; if the God realm wasn't enough, then the Celestial realm!

In short.

Relying on the system.

His strength would only grow stronger and stronger.

Sooner or later, he would reach a level of strength like Haotian's.

However... Haotian was, after all, Sang Sang. Since he was treating Sang Sang so well now, Jiang Chen didn't think that if Haotian's consciousness really descended, it would harm him.

Several days later.

The ninth floor of the Ascension Pavilion.

Looking at the increasingly lively Mortal City under the sunset, a smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

Tomorrow was the Hundred Flowers Festival, the biggest annual event in Snow Moon City.

Over these past few days.

Disciples from many aristocratic families and sects in the Northern Li martial arts world had already arrived one after another.

And those martial arts travelers from other dynasties.

Were also waiting quite expectantly for tomorrow to arrive.

Because on the day of the Hundred Flowers Festival.

Not only could they taste various fine wines for free, but it was also an opportunity to meet beautiful young ladies from aristocratic families.

A moment later.

Jiang Chen left the Ascension Pavilion in a pleasant mood and headed toward the inner city.

Although there were still not many people challenging the pavilion today.

It had provided him with several years of cultivation rewards, raising his strength to the perfection of the fourth stage of the Land Immortal realm.

Just one more wave of cultivation rewards.

And he would be able to break through to the fifth stage of the Land Immortal realm.

And just as Jiang Chen was walking toward the inner city.

In a private room on the top floor of Mist Rain Pavilion.

"Brother Xie, I don't see you around on ordinary days, but you have never missed a single Hundred Flowers Festival every year."

Brother Sikong Changfeng took a small sip of wine and smiled, his eyes narrowing.

"Isn't it the same for Brother Brother Sikong?"

The white-robed scholar opposite Brother Sikong Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Every year at the Hundred Flowers Festival, Baili Baili Dongjun and Li Li Hanyi never show their faces, yet you are the only one who is always tireless, completely lacking the demeanor a Sword Immortal should have."

Speaking of this.

Xie Xuan suddenly sighed lightly: "It's a pity that, except for the first Hundred Flowers Festival, in the years since, there has only been beautiful scenery but no more beauties."

Brother Sikong Changfeng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this:

"Haha, Mist Rain Pavilion is the number one music house in my Snow Moon City; could it be that among so many dancing girls and singers, not a single one catches Brother Xie's eye?"

"Beauties are like snow, pure and elegant."

Xie Xuan sipped his wine, looked down at the magnificent view outside the window, and smiled lightly:

"In my opinion, there are only two people in this Snow Moon City who can be called beauties. It's a pity that one has a terrible temper, the other likes to gamble, and most importantly, neither of them ever attends the Hundred Flowers Festival."

Seeing Brother Sikong Changfeng staring at him.

Xie Xuan suddenly smiled: "Of course, in a few years, that girl Brother Sikong Qianluo will also count as one."

"... y the way, you just said that this year's Hundred Flowers Festival will start at night?"

Seeming to have thought of something.

Xie Xuan looked at Brother Sikong Changfeng and asked in confusion: "Since it's the Hundred Flowers Festival, it should naturally be about admiring flowers and tasting wine. If it's held at night, tasting wine is fine, but admiring flowers..."

"You'll naturally know when the time comes."

Brother Sikong Changfeng smiled faintly, though he was also secretly puzzled in his heart.

Because this decision was something Jiang Chen had only told him about yesterday.

But the other party hadn't told him why.

However.

Facing Xie Xuan's question at this moment, Brother Sikong Changfeng naturally wouldn't tell him that he actually didn't know either.

After all, he was the Third City Lord of Snow Moon City; didn't he have his own reputation to maintain?

Looking at the mysteriously acting Brother Sikong Changfeng.

A faint smile appeared on Xie Xuan's face, and he remained unimpressed.

For him.

It made no difference whether the Hundred Flowers Festival was held during the day or at night.

In any case, it was currently the season when the beautiful scenery of the human world was at its peak, and peach blossoms were blooming all over the city.

Even at this moment.

Looking out the window, one could admire the peach blossoms all over the city.

The only difference between holding it during the day or at night was perhaps that drinking during the day cost money, and one couldn't enjoy the performances of the dancing girls and singers of Mist Rain Pavilion.

"I heard that the Sixth Imperial Prince came to Snow Moon City some time ago?"

Xie Xuan looked at Brother Sikong Changfeng and asked with a frown: "And it was still about the Prince Langya King treason case from back then?"

"Mm."

Brother Sikong Changfeng raised his wine cup, took a small sip, and said indifferently: "Things from back then, there has to be an explanation eventually."

Over these years.

Brother Sikong Changfeng had figured out many things.

Especially the words Jiang Chen had said to Xiao Se in the tavern earlier, which made him understand a truth.

The imperial family is the most heartless.

Since the Prince Langya King was willing to commit suicide at the execution ground, then regardless of whether it was to stabilize the Emperor Mingde's throne or for some other reason, he couldn't escape the fact that he had already made that decision long ago.

Since he had already decided to die at the execution ground.

Then why didn't the Prince Langya King notify Li Li Xinyue, who was one of the Four Guardians of Tianqi, at that time?

Which ultimately led to Li Li Xinyue being besieged by a group of experts off the stage, until she died from her severe injuries?

Actually, when it comes down to it.

People like them were nothing more than pawns in the court struggles that could be discarded at any time.

Nowadays.

Brother Sikong Changfeng no longer cared about the reasons for the Prince Langya King treason case back then.

(Good)

The only thing he had to do was.

To seek justice for Senior Sister Li Li Hanyi.

Thinking of how only Li Li Xinyue had gone to the execution ground to save the Prince Langya King at that time, and later only Li Li Hanyi had gone to save Li Li Xinyue, Brother Sikong Changfeng felt incredibly guilty.

He and Li Li Xinyue were both among the Four Guardians of Tianqi.

And he was even a fellow disciple of Li Li Hanyi.

Yet when this incident happened, he had missed it because of a handwritten letter from the Prince Langya King...

Since the Prince Langya King could write a letter to him, why couldn't he tell Li Li Xinyue?

"..."

"So, is Snow Moon City preparing to support the Sixth Imperial Prince?"

Xie Xuan looked at Brother Sikong Changfeng, thinking the other party was dwelling on the reasons for the Prince Langya King treason case, and sighed: "Now that such an expert has suddenly emerged in your Snow Moon City, even if the Sixth Imperial Prince fails in the end, your Snow Moon City should be able to retreat unscathed."

"However, Brother Brother Sikong, I still have to remind you that in the world of Northern Li, both in the temples and the wilderness, there is more than just the disciple of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal who has reached the God-Roaming Xuan realm."

Brother Sikong Changfeng smiled lightly upon hearing this:
