At this banquet, the seats of honor were reserved for the two True Disciples from the Red Cloud Sect and the two disciples from the Cyan Thunder Sect.

The Wang Family Ancestor accompanied the Wang Family Patriarch as hosts.

Looking at Su Wan opposite her, Zeng Shanshan, the True Disciple from the Cyan Thunder Sect, smiled and said, "I heard that Fairy Su was attacked on her way here? Almost defeated?"

"Junior Sister, don't speak carelessly." The senior brother from the Cyan Thunder Sect beside her quickly stopped Zeng Shanshan and gave Su Wan an apologetic smile.

Su Wan frowned slightly and said blandly, "That did happen. Your sect is indeed well-informed."

When this happened, too many onlookers were present, and the news probably spread long ago.

Su Wan found no need to conceal such matters.

After a pause, Su Wan continued, "Not only was I attacked, but I also lost to my opponent. The person claimed to be from the Five Poison Sect, with a poison technique that was quite challenging."

"If not for a mysterious person rescuing me, I might have missed Elder Wang's banquet."

The Five Poison Sect?!

"Really from the Five Poison Sect?! That Poison Sect that dominated Xuanzhou thousands of years ago?!"

"Fairy Su is at the Innate Fourth Layer, even she couldn't withstand them, are the Innates from the Five Poison Sect this formidable?"

"It seems the Northern Territory is about to change…"

Looking at Su Wan, who quickly turned passive into active, Lu Ye at the next table couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Indeed, being the disciple of that woman, the Red Cloud Fairy, she's quite skillful.

If it were Jiang Lingyue, who is not very bright, she probably wouldn't even know how to handle the current situation.

By now, the crowd was in shock from the news about the Five Poison Sect.

Even the martial artists who were unaware were quickly informed about the Five Poison Sect by friends or passersby.

Just knowing a little is enough to prove the strength of the Five Poison Sect... Dominating Xuanzhou!

Today's Three Great Sects, no matter which force, can only occupy the Northern Territory at most.

In comparison, they are far inferior.

...

The banquet dispersed amid everyone's heavy thoughts, and some left in haste.

Too many shocking things happened today, and some people were eager to report back to their superiors.

The Wang Family Ancestor extended an invitation to the True Disciples of the two major sects to stay at the Wang Family, but they all politely declined.

On the streets of the city, Su Wan said farewell to Jiang Qingge and others.

"With the reemergence of the Five Poison Sect, this is a significant matter. I'll return to the sect to report to my master, and hopefully, we'll meet again in the future."

With those words, Su Wan, accompanied by Xiao Qingxi, headed back to the Red Cloud Sect.

At this time, Chen Lingxiang approached with a smile, saying, "So, this is Fairy Jiang Qingge? I've heard so much about you, and now I finally get to meet you in person. Truly living up to your reputation."

Right from the start, Chen Lingxiang generously offered compliments.

"Miss Chen, my husband caused you trouble during his escort mission before." At this moment, Jiang Qingge already knew who she was facing.

Holding onto Lu Ye's arm, Jiang Qingge smiled gently.

Seeing this, Chen Lingxiang's eyebrows raised imperceptibly, wondering if the couple's relationship was really this good?

Or is this… a deliberate show of dominance, asserting her territorial claim in front of me?

Chen Lingxiang had learned much and could instantly tell that Jiang Qingge was still a maiden by her looks.

If Lu Ye and Jiang Qingge truly were so deeply passionate, how could they maintain such composure?

Thinking of this, Chen Lingxiang revealed a knowing smile and said softly, "Your mutual affection truly makes me envious."

As the atmosphere seemed to shift, Lu Ye frowned and interjected, "Miss Chen, here's your storage ring, thank you."

"Young Master Lu, no need to be so formal." Chen Lingxiang smiled.

...

After all, having traveled from afar to attend the banquet and with Jiang Qingge and others planning to visit her grandmother's place,

they directly booked a few rooms at an inn in the city.

At the same time, within the Wang Family manor.

Having heard his subordinates' reports, Chen Lingxiang didn't leave but rather stayed with the Jiang Family at the city inn.

Sitting in his chair, the Wang Family Ancestor spoke gloomily, "Since the Chen Family destroyed my Blood Pool and took my Forbidden Artifact, then their Celestial Maiden... shall remain here forever!"

The world knew that the Wang Family Ancestor was progressing rapidly, now at the Innate Second Layer.

But in truth, with the support of the Great Celestial Demon Ancestor Scripture, the Wang Family Ancestor had already advanced to the Innate Third Layer ten days ago!

Furthermore, the Wang Family Ancestor had a Hundred Souls Banner that he had refined for many years!

Chen Lingxiang, merely at the Innate Second Layer, dared to come and would never escape his grasp.

"Keep monitoring at all times. Hmph, the Chen Family… once I advance, the Chen Family's old ghost is nothing!" The Wang Family Ancestor said coldly.

...

In the room, only Lu Ye and Jiang Qingge were left.

Lu Ye pondered for a moment, recalling the Wang Family Ancestor's hidden demeanor earlier, felt a need to give a heads up.

"I'm stepping out for a bit." Lu Ye said calmly, then stood up and left the room.

Jiang Qingge said nothing, her gaze lingering on Lu Ye as he walked out, hearing the knock on Chen Lingxiang's door next door.

"Young Master Lu? Please come in."

Chen Lingxiang opened the door, finding Lu Ye standing outside, her eyes immediately turned into crescent moons with a smile.

"I came to tell you, the Wang Family Ancestor… seems to intend harm against you." Lu Ye said frankly.

Hearing this, Chen Lingxiang was shocked, her smile freezing.

"How dare he?"

Not to mention her family's Innate Eighth Layer Ancestor; even she herself is at the Innate Second Layer Realm, equivalent to the Wang Family Ancestor's level.

What makes him capable of harming her?

However, Chen Lingxiang had immense trust in Lu Ye's abilities.

Moreover, Lu Ye was not someone to speak frivolously; for him to come specifically to warn her meant he truly regarded her as a friend.

Thinking of this, a trace of joy quietly surfaced in Chen Lingxiang's heart.

"Thank you, Young Master Lu, I'll be cautious."

After pondering, Chen Lingxiang took out the storage ring Lu Ye previously returned.

"This storage ring is yours; navigating the martial world without a storage tool is indeed inconvenient."

Lu Ye refused without hesitation, "It's too valuable; you keep it."

With a gentle smile, Chen Lingxiang waved her fair hand in front of Lu Ye, "Look, Lingxiang bought a new storage ring."

Lu Ye: "..."

Is the Chen Family of such wealth?

...

In the end, Lu Ye returned with the storage ring.

The secret storage function of Wandao could not be revealed, and without a storage ring, there were indeed many inconveniences.

This favor, Lu Ye noted, would be repaid to Chen Lingxiang when the opportunity arose.

Jiang Qingge eyed Lu Ye upon his return and immediately noticed the reappearance of the storage ring on his finger.

First stunned, then she asked with a subtle tone, "Such a precious thing, Miss Chen gave it to you again?"
