The whole reason why Ye Tian Yun was in the sect as a disguised disciple was now standing in front of him. Though the urge to kill was once again increasing inside him, he suppressed his emotions and looked the other way.

It was hard for him to remain calm and control his emotions now that he had his enemy in front of him.

'If only I could confirm if he has got the Token of Fate with him or not. Damn it, I need to get a hold of myself. He is only the first guy out of the nine members of the God's Legion.'

Taking a deep breath, he had finally calmed himself and was now back to being Fang Chen.

On the other hand, Xiao Ming, who had been at the center of the Killing Sword Domain's attack, was sweating profusely. This was his second close-death encounter but the most terrifying one. And it felt like this attack was only targeting him, and he had no idea who this frightening enemy was.

It took him some time to get a hold of himself as he moved towards the throne.

Xiao Ming reminded himself of the reason for his visit to this banquet and steadied himself. When he came close to the throne, he also noticed the beauty and the empty seat beside her.

Without hesitation, he took the seat.

This once again made their seating area the center of attention.

Xiao ming, ignoring the frowning looks of the older inner Court disciples, turned towards the girl and said, "Fate has allowed us to meet. I will introduce myself first, I am Xiao Ming, the strongest disciple among all the new Inner Court disciples."

However, the girl, Bai Qing'er, had a weird reaction when she looked at him.

At first, when she turned around, she was a bit surprised by his handsome and charming face, however, it turned into a surprise, then shock, and once again a bit of panic appeared over her face.

'I can't see through his thoughts too!'

For Bai Qing'er, to find one person whose mind she couldn't read was already shocking enough, but then, after few minutes, she met another disciple whose thoughts remained hidden from her,

She was confused. She had no idea what was happening. She couldn't understand why she can't see through the thoughts of these disciples? Was there any special reason? Or was her ability not working anymore?

Her reliability on her ability made it difficult for her to see the world without knowing its thoughts.

And as she was lost in her thoughts, Zheng Xiang, who had heard Xiao Ming's words, squinted his eyes as he looked at him and said, "Well, you better correct yourself. You are at most, the strongest disciples of your own peak. But to claim to be the best in the whole sect? That's quite far-fetched."

Ye Tian Yun, who was sitting beside him, rolled his eyes after listening to his words, "Weren't you claiming to be the most talented disciple in the Inner Court, not even five minutes ago?"

Zheng Xiang laid back on his seat, and as he shrugged his shoulders he said, "Brother Fang Chen, I was talking about my talent, and I was just confident, while this guy seems to be an arrogant one."

Xiao Ming replied to him with unhidden disdain, "Most talented disciple huh? Which peak are you from? Well, never mind, I am from the Ninth Peak, so there's no need to even compare because if you're from any other peak. Just keep your mouth shut."

"Oh? Are you trying to say there's no one in the other peaks that can come close to your talent?"

"Yes. No one amongst the new Inner Court disciples. And it's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right." Xiao Ming rolled his eyes after he finished his words.

Zheng Xiang raised one of his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Well, you can keep rolling your eyes, maybe you will find a brain back there." Then leaning forward a bit, he continued while staring at Xiao Ming, "I would like to know what makes you think you can claim that?"

"Well, I think the fact that I placed first should alone be enough for me to say whatever I think is the truth."

"Well, there were five other top disciples. And one of them has reached the Manifestation Realm of Sword Intent and there was another who didn't even use his cultivation realm to win the Inner Court Entrance Hunt. Alright, let's now even consider them. Just see Mu Xing, who is sitting right beside you, are you stronger than him in terms of sword cultivation?"

Xiao Ming hesitated a bit to answer. He wasn't afraid of Mu Xing, but sword cultivation wasn't his forte.

He took a glance at Mu Xing, who was clearly not interested in their talks, and then Xiao Ming replied, "You see, I don't care if someone is a sword cultivator or a body cultivator, in front of absolute strength, they're nothing."

Zheng Xiang smirked at him and said, "Well, there's a thin line between courage and arrogance, and my friend, you're far away from this line, sitting atop a mountain hole of arrogance. Clearly, you have never gone against a good sword cultivator, or else you would have had your arrogance in check."

Xiao Ming was starting to get pissed by this guy, "Well, why don't you show me. Since you like to bark so much, let's see if you know how to bite too. The stage is empty, let's exchange some friendly moves and see if you can still spew nonsense."

And as Xiao Ming was about to get up, Zheng Xiang laughed at him and said, "Well, I'm sorry if I offended you. I didn't know you being an idiot was supposed to be kept a secret. You see, I would love to teach you a lesson, but everything has its time and place. This is a banquet, be a man and enjoy it.. Stop trying to flaunt your ego."
