Chapter 1323 1282: Pei Wanning's Dilemma

Successfully altered Luo Aya's destiny, liberating her once-in-a-millennium King Body physique, Chen Fei had fulfilled his promise. He accomplished his mission and then left the Ancient City of the Heavenly Capital the next day.

Within the Ancient City of the Heavenly Capital, a branch of the Hundred Knowledge Palace has a large long-distance teleportation formation directly leading to the latter half of the Inner Region, the Tianye Plains. Thus, Chen Fei could save a lot of time by passing through here, reaching his destination in an instant...

...

Latter half of the Inner Domain of Qiannan Ancient Kingdom, Tianye Plains.

The territorial distribution of the entire Inner Domain of the Qiannan Ancient Kingdom forms a narrow strip, with the Wang Clan occupying forty percent at the forefront, while the five major powers and various sects and families occupy sixty percent at the latter half.

The combined area of this latter half is also referred to as the Tianye Plains.

In the central part of the Tianye Plains lies the Flower God Mountain Range.

The Flower God Mountain Range, as the headquarters of the super first-class power, the Flower God Sect, is almost as flourishing as the Ancient City of the Heavenly Capital. Just the number of inhabitants and cultivators alone reaches tens of millions! Incredibly astonishing.

And this prosperity is not just reflected in the population, but even more in the cultivators' realm levels!

Within the Inner Region, if one can reach the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, that's already quite formidable. If even stronger and more elite, reaching the Third Heavenly Layer or Fourth Heavenly Layer of the True Person Realm, that is considered fairly mainstream and regular.

However, walking among the buildings in the Flower God Mountain Range, even elite figures of the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Heavenly Layers of the True Person Realm can be seen everywhere. Occasionally, one might even see individuals at the Primordial Core True Lord Realm, a level far beyond comparison with the Outer Domain.

The reason for such a profound foundation in the Flower God Mountain Range is none other than the presence of a renowned super first-class power—the Flower God Sect—in the Inner Region!

In the Inner Region, the five major powers are referred to as superpowers, revered and invincible.

Below them, the super first-class powers follow closely, of which the Flower God Sect is an example, as is the Hao Hai Sect behind King Bear of Fury Luo Xiong.

These super first-class powers, aside from lacking an Ancient King Level Expert of Supreme Heavenly Position, are no less than the superpowers in foundation and strength.

The only missing element is such a decisive figure.

And the Flower God Sect, mentioned now, stands out among super first-class powers, with strong foundation and strength!

It is said that just in terms of Mystic Heaven Position Kings Realm figures, the Flower God Sect has at least seven or more. This number is even more than the Hao Hai Sect, and this is just on the surface…

Now, the Flower God Mountain Range is filled with countless endless and majestic peaks, surrounded by mists and colors. Each towering peak resembles a giant, infusing the famous mountain range of this Inner Region with a primal wilderness aura. Extremely awe-inspiring.

Amidst the flower God Mountain Range, clouds and mists wind, immortal birds fly, and majestic and magnificent palaces intermittently appear and disappear, with the sound of bustling voices echoing through heaven and earth, making this place akin to an immortal realm.

Within this fairyland, one particularly striking, towering great hall stands out.

In the side hall of the great hall, streams flow past ancient stone platforms; spiritual light gleams as figures sit cross-legged on these platforms, with each figure surrounded by spiritual light. The power level contained within this light is tremendously terrifying!

At least, it is feared to reach beyond the Grand Heavenly Position of True Monarch Realm…

If at this moment an outsider or a cultivator from within the Flower God Sect were present, they would likely be quite surprised, for those seated are none other than prominent figures who control practical power and hold 'the right to speak' from various levels within the Flower God Sect!

Each of these individuals is at least a Strong Expert of Great Heaven Rank, and due to the powerful Dao lineage and deep foundation of the Flower God Sect itself, their strength is feared to surpass that of ordinary cultivators of the same rank.

What brings these people together here today?

Currently, there are two most noticeable areas within the great hall.

First, are the stone platforms at the very center of the great hall, numbering more than ten. Not all the seats are occupied, but every person sitting on them releases an aura stronger than those around, stronger than even those of Great Heaven Rank!

This means, regardless of whether they occupy a seat on these high platforms, their strength should surpass others... these are figures at the Peak of Great Heaven Rank!

Among them is Dragon Grandson of Nine Wild Serpent Madam, who previously had a brief encounter with Chen Fei at the Enlightened Deity Mansion to take Pei Wanning away, now prominently present!

However, at the moment, her expression appears somewhat complex, with hints of hesitation and soft sighing…

The other noticeable area features an elderly man with snow-white eyebrows, dressed in a purple-gray robe, whose face remains indifferent with eyes like blades, evoking a sense of icy cold and bone-chilling solitude…

He stood among so many strong Flower God Sect members, and yet he wasn't intimidated at all. On the contrary, his aura alone was enough to make quite a few Flower God Sect members appear apprehensive, their eyes flickering.

Clearly, this white-browed elder was by no means an easy character!

Instead, he was a figure of great power and terrifying strength.

"Heh, heh..." At this moment, the white-browed elder suddenly chuckled softly, speaking lightly to a grey-haired old woman in the center of the hall.

"Yee Sect Master, I've heard that quite a few renowned figures plan to visit this Baihua Grand Meeting. I should congratulate you in advance, for if you manage to recruit or form alliances with them, it would be a tremendous benefit!"

As his words fell, many Flower God Sect experts present had their eyes flash with anticipation and barely contained joy.

The purpose of hosting the Baihua Grand Meeting was to use feminine charm as a medium to win over those long-renowned loose cultivator experts! And the people in the white-browed elder's words were not simple; they were all peak Great Heaven Rank individuals.

The peak of the Great Heaven Rank! In Qiannan Ancient Kingdom, no matter the faction, if they could recruit even one such individual, it would surely warrant a grand celebration lasting thirty to fifty days.

Moreover, it's not just one person now, but several! If they can seize this opportunity and successfully win over even one or two, three of them, then the efforts and endeavors of the Flower God Sect over the decades would not have been in vain.

Furthermore... everyone instinctively looked at the white-browed elder. Their eyes flashed with a complex yet joyful expression.

For if recruiting those peak Great Heaven Rank individuals he spoke of was worth a grand celebration for the sect, then recruiting the person behind the white-browed elder would be an enormous fortune worthy of offering thanks with incense!

Because, behind the white-browed elder was none other than a renowned Mystic Heaven Position King level figure!

A Mystic Heaven Position King! The highest level within the Flower God Sect, so if they could recruit him, it would undeniably be a huge benefit! There is no doubt, no questioning.

Think about the past Baihua Grand Meetings; it seems they've hosted six or seven, over a hundred years, without recruiting a Mystic Heaven Position King level expert through the event! Now, finally, the distinguished person behind the white-browed elder is somewhat interested, creating an opportunity, how could they not be excited?

If they could truly win over that distinguished person and add another Mystic Heaven Position King level individual to the Flower God Sect, their upcoming battle plans would surely be more assured! Whether the Flower God Sect can 'transform into a dragon' depends on the upcoming war.

At the thought of this, the grey-haired old woman on the high platform, the current Sect Master of Flower God Sect, couldn't help but squint and smile, saying, "Congratulations to us all. But this matter hasn't even started yet, so we have to wait and see what happens."

"You are too modest, Yee Sect Master." The white-browed elder chuckled softly, his gaze suddenly shifting to the charming figure behind the Nine Wild Serpent Madam Longsun, smilingly saying.

"Elder Longsun, Pei Wanning, have you considered my previous proposal?"

These words immediately silenced the atmosphere in the hall.

The Nine Wild Serpent Madam Longsun's expression changed slightly, saying, "Didn't you say to wait until after the Baihua Grand Meeting..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the white-browed elder interrupted her. He said indifferently, arrogantly, "Longsun, as old acquaintances, let's be straightforward—what difference does waiting until after the Baihua Grand Meeting make?"

Her expression changed again, unable to find any refuting words... Indeed, what difference does waiting until after the Baihua Grand Meeting make?

Behind her, a figure in a dark blue gown, possessing a tall and perfect figure, slender yet exquisite, with muted blue garments smoothly highlighting enticing curves; her appearance was also extremely beautiful, exhibiting an elegant beauty that was soothing and captivating.

This figure was none other than Pei Wanning.

Her beautiful face now interchanged between pale and blue, her white teeth tightly biting her trembling lower red lip.

Currently, her cultivation level had reached the Minor Heavenly Position of the True Person Realm, quite formidable. Yet this high, unattainable level in outsiders' eyes seemed still weak and powerless amid the current situation, akin to a child.

The white-browed elder saw neither the Nine Wild Serpent Madam Longsun nor Pei Wanning speaking, his face darkened.

Noticing this, the grey-haired Sect Master of Flower God Sect squinted her eyes slightly, decisively saying, "Spear-wielding War King's favor toward Wanning is her fortune. There's no need to discuss this matter; it should be according to the Spear-wielding War King's wish."

Instantly, everyone in the hall smiled. Using a Saintess to trade for a Mystic Heaven Position King level person, could there be any deal this advantageous? It was like a pie falling from the sky!

But at this moment, a thin yet stubborn voice softly rang out, instantly freezing their smiles and expressions...

"Sect Master, elders, if you insist on forcing me, Spear-wielding War King would only hear a word from my corpse, and I reckon he wouldn't be pleased?"

...
