Shaoyuan: "......"
The two of them were so engrossed in their own conversation that they didn't even glance at him, as if they had forgotten he was there. Shaoyuan wanted to interject something to squeeze into their dialogue.
But a vague thought stopped him. Better to keep his mouth shut and watch quietly!
As the Young Master of the Shenmo clan, his status was quite high within the tribe, and he possessed some understanding of human emotions and *.
He had a rough idea of what could be done and what could not.
For example, a few days ago, he impersonated Shen Jinglan to tease Spirit Sword Destiny, only to receive a merciless punch from Spirit Sword Destiny, leaving his spiritual energy somewhat sluggish even now. If he were to turn the tables and impersonate Spirit Sword Destiny to deceive Shen Jinglan, it would likely be quite amusing, yet for some reason, he lacked the courage to do so.
Clearly, Shen Jinglan seemed to be more approachable than Spirit Sword Destiny?
Shen Jinglan held Spirit Sword Destiny's wrist, looking at him quietly, waiting for his response.
It wasn't until Spirit Sword Destiny lowered his head and said, "Yes, I understand," that he smiled, and suddenly vanished, reappearing several dozen feet away below.
Without any visible buildup of power, the brilliance of countless electric snakes from Azure Light pierced through the void, which he grasped with one hand and casually sent downward.
A massive bolt of lightning shot down.
Above the Azure Cloud City Lord's Mansion, a faint golden outline suddenly appeared; it was a barrier enveloping the entire residence.
When the golden barrier met the electric light released by Shen Jinglan, countless cracks silently spread outwards. It was as if a sharp needle had pierced a fragile egg.
Four beams of Dun Guang flew out from the lord's mansion at the moment he shattered the barrier, forming a formation that surrounded him in the center.
It seemed that those were the four individuals including Southern Ming True Man. They hadn't attended the birthday banquet but were resting in the back garden.
The Master held off four prominent figures from the Righteous Path, while Spirit Sword Destiny and Shaoyuan took this opportunity to fly down, passing through the shattered barrier towards the Banquet Hall.
"Eh?" Shaoyuan felt puzzled. He caught a glimpse of Spirit Sword Destiny, who had quietly changed his appearance while fleeing.
The new face he conjured was still handsome and refined, but compared to his original appearance, he looked like an entirely different person.
"Boom!"
The ground trembled, and cups clinked against each other.
"What’s going on?" People were asking everywhere.
Those with keen perception had already "seen" the five individuals confronting each other above the City Lord's residence.
Could it be an invasion by the Evil Sect?
Amidst the commotion, a laughing voice suddenly rang out. The voice was not particularly loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears, suppressing the noise in the hall.
"Elder City Lord Xu truly has great influence and a grand occasion. How is it that my Evil Sect hasn’t even received an invitation to such a splendid event?"
With this statement, a young man dressed in white appeared in the center of the hall.
He looked delicate and frail, with a polite and courteous smile on his face, resembling someone there to celebrate rather than to cause trouble.
The hall erupted in an uproar; how had this young man managed to sneak in without anyone noticing?
"My humble birthday banquet only invites righteous companions. As for the demons of the Evil Sect, we do not welcome you!" Xu Jin, the Azure Cloud City Lord seated at the main table, said sternly.
"Oh? Guests are always welcome. The City Lord should have offered me a few drinks. Outside, the City Lord is known for his generosity and hospitality, but it seems that is just a rumor," Spirit Sword Destiny said calmly. "I even prepared a small gift... Am I not allowed to present it?"
He looked around the hall.
In the scene that the leader had shown him earlier, he had spotted Xu Xiaofei at a glance. In this crucial event of the plot, others could be absent, but the protagonist must be present.
At this moment, he stood a bit farther away, looking over at Spirit Sword Destiny, but it didn't seem like he recognized him.
His face was pale and haggard, and his expression was devoid of emotion.
Spirit Sword Destiny's gaze swept over him without stopping and turned elsewhere.
"Stop with the sweet talk; what are you plotting, demon?" someone shouted loudly.
"That's right. If you're here to cause trouble, you better weigh your own strength!"
"No need to waste words on this demon; let's all attack together!"
The speakers were all inconsequential characters, likely without even a character icon in the game. Spirit Sword Destiny smiled but did not respond.
Xu Jin also said, "You should keep your small gift for yourself; I won't accept it. If you really insist on giving something, then I will only accept one kind of gift—no matter why you came here, you won't leave today. Leave your life as a gift!"
Though he was old, his words were harsh.
Before his voice faded, a flurry of magical artifacts and techniques surged toward Spirit Sword Destiny in a dazzling array of colors.
—They passed right through the body of the handsome young man.
"That's an illusion!" Everyone suddenly realized.
In the next moment, the illusion transformed into a misty rain, spreading everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, each water droplet turned into a blurry black shadow. They filled every corner of the hall and began to engage in combat with everyone.
Even the Shadow Guards hidden among the crowd were quickly targeted. The hall was thrown into chaos; some guests with strong abilities managed to disperse the shadows with a wave of their hands, while others with weaker powers found themselves in a tough battle.
In one corner of the hall, a pale-faced Tall and Thin Man was about to sneak away quietly.
Just as he was about to strike down the Jet Black Incarnation blocking his path, the indistinct face of the incarnation suddenly curled into a smile that he found eerily familiar.
—In an instant, the Jet Black Incarnation transformed into the form of Spirit Sword Destiny.
This time it was the real body.
Spirit Sword Destiny raised a hand and pointed, and a Water Dragon roared forth from his palm, ensnaring Mu Ruo Song completely.
Elsewhere, shadows surrounded the dazed Wu Shuang. Before he could break free from the encirclement, they quickly merged into one, forming a chaotic giant mouth that swallowed him whole.
Shaoyuan had also completed his mission.
The shadows filling the hall were all conjured by him using Shenmo's “Thousand Shadows Technique,” which was quite effective when facing many opponents. Shen Jinglan had brought him along for this very reason.
"Let's go," said Spirit Sword Destiny.
With two traitors already in hand, there was no need to linger in battle.
At that moment, a person blocked the way—Xu Xiaofei!
As soon as he saw Shaoyuan, his eyes turned blood red, and he charged forward with his sword.
Spirit Sword Destiny: "..."
This battle was inevitable; otherwise, how would these villains provide experience and equipment to the protagonist?
Spirit Sword Destiny was always aware of being a Villain BSS.
However, looking at Xu Xiaofei's appearance, it seemed he was ready to fight Shaoyuan to the death. Could it be that the death of the "Lin Mo" he disguised himself as had filled him with deep hatred for all Shenmo?
A flicker of light shone in Spirit Sword Destiny's eyes.
He could see clearly that the White Jade Pendant he had given to Xu Xiaofei was still hanging around his neck.
"Hey? This person has a strong killing intent," Shaoyuan said.
His delicate, fair hand suddenly transformed into a sharp and elongated shape, turning a gloomy blood red as it reached for Xu Xiaofei's chest.
