Against The Gods
Chapter 62 – Lan Xuero

The New Moon Profound Palace occupies a vast expanse, with a majestic Main Hall at its center, and countless architectures that stretch as far as the eye can see. Yun Che followed Xia Yuanba towards his accommodation. Along the way, he met many New Moon Deep Palace disciples, all of whom were under twenty. There were fifteen and sixteen years old occasionally, and of those in this age group, most were from the Basic Profound Realm. Along the way, there were many people welcoming them; after all, between his age and size, even if they wanted to ignore him it would be difficult.

"How many disciples are in the New Moon Profound Palace now?" Yun Che asked.

“Last time I checked, there were more than three thousand disciples. '' Xia Yuanba solemnly said, The New Moon Profound Palace recruited disciples in the age of fifteen to eighteen. Most of them generally stay until they reach the age of twenty before leaving. Many of them would join Blue Wind's official forces in the future.

"However, Brother-in-law, are you really planning on participating in the banquet tonight?" Xia Yuanba asked somewhat worriedly.

"To have a chance to be able to catch a glimpse of almost all of New Moon City's top powers in one go, naturally I had to leave. "Yun Che glanced at him," Yuanba, it seems like you don't want to go to this banquet. Is there a problem?"

“Although it is not a problem, but …. '' Xia Yuanba hesitated for a moment, and then said with a hint of anger: Some time ago, I heard that when the Palace Master of the last generation was newly appointed, I heard that, they also sent many invitations for banquets. Yet during that banquet, the invited disciples of the other sects used the reason for the exchange of pointers to challenge our disciples of the same age. There were ten matches, and we of New Moon Profound Palace lost all ten times; thus humiliating the old Palace Chief, and turning the new one into a laughingstock for a long time.

"Heh-heh, it was obvious the intrigues of the sects caused the newly appointed Palace Chief to lose his prestige, and let him know who the real boss of New Moon City was. "Said Yun Che while laughing.

"Religion . '' Xia Yuanba nodded, and helplessly said: I heard the same thing happen to the Palace Chief from two generations ago as well. He could not avoid inviting them to the celebration, otherwise, he would be laughed at and ridiculed, and lose every part of his remaining face. If we attend the banquet, it is likely that we will be challenged by them .. Losing them does not matter, but those people often have evil intentions and use strong hands. Last time, there were two senior brothers who were beaten until they were unable to fully recover from their injuries, and the Palace Chief had no other choice but to swallow his words and bear the humiliation.

“The New Moon Profound Palace attracts many disciples every year; are their strengths really that bad? "Ask Yun Che while knitting his brows．

"Of course, it's not because the power of our New Moon Palace is lacking; it's just that, those schools are too powerful. Although the New Moon Profound Palace had the support of the Imperial Family, the sects had a long history, many sect secrets, resources, and techniques that had been passed down for generations. All of this was not something that the New Moon Profound Palace could compare to. Even if they recruit outer sect disciples, the threshold is much higher than ours. Furthermore, people who entered the sect with the support of the Imperial Family, generally planned to give up their lives to the Imperial Family. After all, the establishment of the Imperial Family sect was originally intended to attract talented people to join the Imperial Army. However, people with great talent were usually proud and arrogant. Their desire to join a large sect was much greater than joining the Imperial Army, resulting in the average strength of the disciples of New Moon Profound Palace, when compared to small and medium-sized sects, it could be considered better, but when compared to those big sects, it could not even begin to match them. ”

The situation described by Xia Yuanba was actually, quite normal. Even Yun Che himself, despite being added to the New Moon Profound Palace for other reasons, only looked for opportunities and never thought of serving the Imperial Family. He thought for a moment, and then asked: "In New Moon City, what sect has more power than the New Moon Profound Palace?"

"Oh, let me think ..." Xia Yuanba thought seriously for a moment, and then slowly replied: "There are seven in total; they are the Profound Heart Sect, Cloudy Sun Sect, Iron Spear Clan, the Iron Spear Clan, The Seven Deadly Swords Pavilion, and the Stormy Profound Palace. '' After pausing for a moment, Xia Yuanba's voice became somewhat guarded: These five sects have a history of over five hundred, or even a thousand years. In New Moon City, their influence was already entrenched in the city and their overall strength was greater than that of the New Moon Profound Palace. If not for the support of the Imperial Family, then perhaps we might have been suppressed and forced out. Other than these five, there were two more giants that even the Imperial Family would not dare to provoke … and they were branches of the Xiao Sect and Burning Heaven Clan that were here in New Moon City! Although they were only branches, they still had the support of the Xiao Sect and the Burning Heaven Clan, making them the two unshakable masters of New Moon City.

"The Branch Branch Branch of Xiao Sect and the Burning Heaven Clan?" Yun Che tapped his chin. He clearly knew in his heart that this was just a name. In reality, these disciples of the "Outer Sect" were those with the lowest talent who were not suitable to remain in the main sect, and nothing more. However, when all was said and done, they were still officially "Outer Sect", and unlike the Xiao Clan that had been completely abandoned.

“However, our New Moon Profound Palace is of course, not so easily intimidated. "Xiao Yuanba patted his chest with a face full of unwillingness and said:" Although the Lost New Moon Palace lost its dignity during the banquet five years ago, yet it was five years ago! Our New Moon Profound Palace right now, also has a lot of talent; and it certainly won't be under the other sects, the one who was there was our senior brother Li Weihao. He was seventeen this year, and had reached the third level of the Nascent Profound Realm. I heard he also inherited his family's Profound Art, and was very powerful.

“The guy over there in white clothes is even stronger. I believe he was called Xu Aoran; he was only eighteen years old, and was already at the fifth rank of the Nascent Profound Realm! Both are in our First Class. However, the most formidable ones in our New Moon Profound Palace are not them, but Senior Brother Murong and Senior Sister Xueruo, who are publicly known as the two greatest geniuses in the New Moon Palace. The Elders will definitely take them to the banquet tonight. With them, it would definitely not be a repeat of five years ago …

As he spoke up to this point, Xia Yuanba's voice suddenly stopped, because in front of them, a white-robed young man and a girl dressed in snow-white clothes walked side by side towards them. The man who seemed to be eighteen or nineteen years old had a tall body, elegant features, and a dazzling charm like jade. She is pretty enough to make any sexually aroused girl who yearns for love, become completely infatuated.

And the girl beside him was even prettier, pretty enough to make one's heart shake. He also appeared to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pair of sparkling beautiful eyes, and cherry-colored lips with a smooth clam luster. Her elegant brows were also crescent-shaped, but the most touching was the light smile that adorned her lips that was as fragrant as the scent of incense in a gentle breeze.

The two were like a perfect couple who had just come out of a painting; the moment they appeared, all the brilliance between heaven and earth was taken away. The young man was constantly talking about something beside the girl and constantly noticed her reaction from the side of his eyes, but the girl's reaction did not change; while maintaining a constant warm smile the entire time, he continued, he said nothing in return. Even though she had only stepped forward gently, it would make people believe that they had seen a fairy dancing in a white dress. On top of all that, her beautiful and slender snow-white neck made her emit a noble and graceful aura that added to her appeal, she said, it made people feel as if they were looking at an exalted princess belonging to the Royal Family.

"Senior Brother Murong, Senior Brother Xueruo!"

At the same time that Yun Che was secretly admiring this girl, Xia Yuanba actually pulled her over to greet them.

Murongs? Xueruo's? Hm? Don't tell me that these two are the ones Yuanba just mentioned .. Yun Che thought in his heart.

"Junior Brother Xia, are you going back to rest?" Upon seeing Xia Yuanba, the girl smiled and greeted him. When his voice rang out, Yun Che immediately felt a kind of warm current slowly flowing from his ears to the center of his heart, as this voice was extremely soft and beautiful; just listening to this voice brings an inexplicable feeling of pleasure. When approaching with his gaze, it was even more understandable how his gentle gaze and smile could intoxicate one's heart.

At this point, the girl's gaze fell on Yun Che, and she curiously asked: "This …"

“Hehe, this is my sister-in-law, she just entered our Profound Department today. He's also in our First Class! ”Xia Yuanba cheerfully said,“ Brother-in-law, they are Senior Brother Murong Ye and Senior Brother Lan Xueruo whom I just mentioned earlier. They are the strongest disciples of this generation within our New Moon Palace.

Yun Che walked forward a step, his face smiling politely, “Greetings Big Brother and Senior Brother. This little sister was Yun Che, who had just entered the Profound Department. I ask the two Senior to take care of me in the future. ”

Murong slightly nodded his head, which was almost considered an answer. His gaze paused on Yun Che for a moment, and then moved as arrogance hung between his eyebrows. There were also hidden traces of hatred, as he was obviously not happy that they had disturbed him and "two Xueruo world people." ”

"Oh? You also joined our First Class? "Lan Xueruo looked at Yun Che well, and laughed happily:" You seem very young, yet you are already at the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm. No wonder Elder Sikong snatched you into First Class. If the pretty girls in the class found out that the handsome little junior had just entered, they would definitely be very happy. You must be careful, junior sister. Eh? That's not true, Young Brother Xia seems to refer to you as 'brother-in-law'. Don't tell me; you're married? "

Before Yun Che had a chance to reply, Xia Yuanba had already replied before him: "That's right. My sister-in-law is only sixteen this year, but she already married my sister half a year ago. ”

"Oh ~~~ So junior sister Yun is still sixteen years old. To get married this early, it seems that the bride must be very beautiful. "Said Lan Xueruo, smiling.

"Ah haha…. By the way, I will be in the care of senior brother and sister in the future. "Yun Che awkwardly smiled. Then her gaze suddenly changed as she spoke with a smile at Lan Xueruo: "I suspect that Senior Sister Xueruo is definitely not a native from around here, is that true?"

"Oh? How do you know? "Ask Lan Xueruo while blinking her beautiful eyes.

“Because the atmosphere in New Moon City is a bit restless and the spiritual aura is blurry. There should be no graceful beauty like Senior Sister Xueruo was born here. ”

Lan Xueruo was slightly stunned; then her pink lips curved up and while raising her eyebrows, she said, “Not only is Junior Brother Yun handsome and talented, but also a fluent speaker. It's a pity that you're married; otherwise, senior brother here might be. ”

Lan Xueruo was obviously joking, but Murong Ye, who was standing by her side, sharply looked at Yun Che.

However, Yun Che appeared as if he had not seen that at all, and instead smiled at Lan Xueruo and said: "No problem, my wife has guaranteed this to me before; he definitely wouldn't mind if I got another wife. ”
