Chapter 2281: What’s The Ulterior Motive?

"It’s fine, it’s fine, everyone keep drinking."

The crowd sat down with lingering suspicions, but Xiang Wentian did not take his seat. His mind was reeling with the events that had just unfolded!

Just now, Qin Yu and Ziyan had gone to the Flower Sea! Could it be that Qin Yu and Ziyan were the spies? Were they the Demon Race’s sleeper agents? Was the outburst just now their doing?

With this thought, Xiang Wentian’s face turned ugly!

Struggling to maintain his balance, Xiang Wentian hurried towards the gate of the Snowflake Sect!

But after just a few steps, Xiang Wentian felt something was wrong with his Dantian! His face turned pale!

Xiang Wentian realized that several strands of Demonic Qi had unconsciously gathered in his Dantian! This Demonic Qi was so pure that he was unable to purge it in a short amount of time!

Because of the hindrance of the Demonic Qi, his energy cultivation became extremely sluggish, and at most, he could exert only seventy percent of his full power!

A conspiracy! This was a blatant conspiracy!

In an instant, Xiang Wentian quickened his pace!

Just as Xiang Wentian reached the gate of the Snowflake Sect, Xue Tianyu suddenly appeared with a smile and asked, "Valley Master, the banquet isn’t over yet; the host has only offered four rounds of toasts. Where are you heading?"

Xiang Wentian was taken aback. Indeed, the host had only offered four rounds of toasts, and leaving now seemed improper, but given the current circumstances, he couldn’t afford to care about propriety!

Xiang Wentian said in a deep voice, "Elder Xue, you must have seen that there’s a small issue with the Flower God Ley Lines. I’m going to resolve it."

Xue Tianyu smiled and said, "Valley Master, I just returned from the Flower Sea. The Flower God told me that she is using the Flower God Ley Lines to repair the Flower God Great Formation’s protective barrier.

There’s nothing wrong at the Flower Sea, let’s continue drinking."

Now that less than thirty percent of the Flower God Ley Lines had dissipated, Xue Tianyu could not allow Xiang Wentian to go to the Flower Sea.

Repair? What repair?

Why didn’t he know about this?

Xue Tianyu’s obstruction made Xiang Wentian even more certain—there was definitely a conspiracy!

Giving the women’s seating area a furtive glance, Xiang Wentian’s pupils contracted for a moment! Xue Nuo was not there! The main character of the day was actually absent from the banquet!

Boom! Xiang Wentian’s brain exploded with realization!

He knew that he had misunderstood Qin Yu and Su Ziyan!

So, it was Xue Nuo who caused all this!

What exactly was the Snowflake Sect’s intention?

"Elder Xue, where is the Saintess? She’s the main character of today’s event. How could she leave early?"

"Valley Master, as you know, Nuonuo was injured during her match with Miss Vivi, and she is currently healing in her chamber," Xue Tianyu said, his face calm.

"Elder Xue, I can’t hold my liquor well, I’ll be leaving now," Xiang Wentian feigned drunkenness.

"Valley Master, are you planning to let our Snowflake Sect be ridiculed by everyone? What if I don’t let you leave?" Seeing that he couldn’t keep Xiang Wentian, Xue Tianyu blatantly confronted him.

"Elder Xue, this is Flower Valley, and no one has yet been able to detain Xiang here!" Xiang Wentian erupted with a fierce aura.

"Valley Master, leaving early is a public affront to our Snowflake Sect! Our sect will not tolerate such an insult!" Xue Tianyu put on an air of indignation!

Sensing the sudden release of energy from Xiang Wentian, the Elders of the Flower God Sect who were enjoying their drinks could no longer sit idly by. They quickly left their seats and came to Xiang Wentian’s side, looking puzzled at both Xiang Wentian and Xue Tianyu.

"Valley Master, what’s the matter?" Xiang Zongguang asked, looking puzzled.

"It’s nothing, Uncle Xiang, let’s go, back to the residence!" After speaking, Xiang Wentian strode towards Xue Tianyu. With two Divine Artifacts in his possession and the ability to harness the power of the Flower God Great Formation, Xiang Wentian truly did not fear Xue Tianyu!

Regrettably, Xiang Wentian forgot something—he could now only unleash less than seventy percent of his strength!

"I’d like to see who dares to leave!" With a boom, Xue Tianyu released the immense pressure of a Quasi-Divine Realm Peak, completely blocking the gate of the Snowflake Sect!
