Supreme God Emperor Chapter Vol 4 5237: how are you here?

Shang Yunyun gazed upon Liu Mingzheng and Liu Mingyin, the brother-sister duo, before nodding and declaring, "Palace Master Liu, your children are truly remarkable, both at the seventh and sixth realms of Daohai. Xiaoyao Palace is destined to climb even higher."

Liu Wenxiao chuckled and replied, "No need to flatter them, or these young ones will get too cocky."

The banquet hall buzzed with energy.

Members of Tianfeng Sect and Xiaoyao Palace exchanged cheerful banter.

Before long, half the wine had been consumed.

Liu Wenxuan stood up and announced, "The Tianfeng Sect's fine wine is sweet and mellow, yet us men crave something fiercer."

Saying this, Liu Wenxuan produced a jar of potent liquor and set it down in the center.

With a sweep of his hand, he broke the seal, filled a cup, and downed it in one go.

"This is our Xiaoyao Palace's Tianyang Jiaolong wine—a real powerhouse brew. Tianfeng Sect friends, feel free to partake if it suits you."

Several Tianfeng Sect elders and deacons felt tempted, but without the Sect Master's word, none dared to touch it.

Liu Wenxuan smiled faintly, then unsealed more jars one by one, serving cups to his own people.

Xiaoyao Palace folks all drank up.

Liu Wenxuan then declared: "I've come to Xiaoyao Palace seeking alliance with true intent. Do you really suspect this wine?"

Grand Elder Shang Dongfang burst into laughter, saying, "Of course not. It's just this old man's age makes strong liquor tough on me. But out of respect for Palace Master Wenxuan's gesture, I'll give it a try today."

Soon, many from Heavenly Phoenix Sect stepped forward eagerly.

The Xiaoyao Palace crowd showed no ill effects after drinking. After all, they'd been hosted with food and drink, so doubts were minimal.

With cooperation on the table, mutual trust was essential.

Thus, the feast continued for a full hour.

Conversations flowed freely.

Shang Yunyun brought Wang Xinya along.

Liu Wenxiao had Liu Wenxuan in tow.

The four of them stepped into the palace.

There, Liu Wenxiao unfolded a map with a grin, stating, "Now, we can begin."

"Already?" Shang Yunyun exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Wenxiao explained, "Our visit to Tianfeng Sect today won't stay secret long. The Cang Clan will hear of it soon and prepare defenses."

"That's why we must act swiftly."

"In three days, my Xiaoyao Palace forces will head to the west of the Burning God Mountain Range, while you bring yours from the east to the north..."

Liu Wenxiao traced the map while outlining the plan.

Meanwhile, Liu Wenxuan kept stealing glances at Wang Xinya, staying silent.

Outside the hall, the merriment persisted.

Cups clinked amid the lively toasts.

Meanwhile, at Tianfeng Sect elsewhere.

In a secluded valley.

Mu Chuxue wore a pouty little face, staring blankly at the sky.

Ji Yunxuan and her sister Ji Ziyan stood beside her.

Both were close companions of Wang Xinya.

"Sister!"

Mu Chuxue, appearing around ten years old, had her long hair neatly combed, bright eyes, pearly teeth, and a delicate face much like Wang Xinya's—though her brows carried a hint of Mu Yun.

"Xiaoyao Palace is allying with our Heavenly Phoenix Sect, so why can't I go watch?" Mu Chuxue grumbled dully. "It's so dull here. I haven't left Heavenly Phoenix Sect in ages!"

Ji Yunxuan comforted her, "The outside world is dangerous right now, and Lord Wang can't protect you. What if villains snatch you? How would Lord Wang cope?"

"Plus, what if your father visits and you're not here?"

At the mention, Mu Chuxue sighed helplessly, "Father hasn't come by in so long..."

Speaking of Mu Yun stirred something odd in Ji Yunxuan.

Last time, she'd gone to the valley in Wang Xinya's place to meet Mu Yun, only for him to pull her into a bold embrace that left her flustered.

The memory alone made her heart race like a startled deer.

And...

Imagining her admired, resolute Lord Wang entangled with that Mu Yun in intimate moments—scenes she could only fantasize—left Ji Yunxuan even more bewildered.

It tarnished Lord Wang's perfect image in her mind, yet recalling Mu Yun's demeanor that day kept pulling her thoughts back.

"Sister, when will I get to go out alone?"

Mu Chuxue couldn't resist asking: "Besides, I really want to grow up. I have been born for more than a thousand years, and I still look like ten years old, too young..."

"I also want to be like a mother, like my sister, growing up!"

A faint smile appeared on Ji Yunxuan's face as she replied, "Don't worry, I will."

Right then, several figures appeared outside the valley.

The expressions of sisters Ji Yunxuan and Ji Ziyan instantly tightened.

"Liu Mingzheng?"

Spotting the leading young man, Ji Yunxuan blurted out, "Why are you here?"

This area lay deep within Tianfeng Sect, right in Deputy Sect Master Wang's residence grounds. Even the other two deputy sect masters needed to announce themselves upon arrival, to say nothing of sect disciples and elders who would face punishment for intruding.

Yet Liu Mingzheng, Liu Wenxiao's son, had no business entering this place.

Unless... someone had guided him inside!

Cupping his hands with a smile, Liu Mingzheng explained, "I drank too much wine and grew bored, so I requested Tianfeng Sect elders to guide me around, bringing me here."

Greed flickered in his eyes as he stared at sisters Ji Yunxuan and Ji Ziyan.

Rumors always claimed Liu Mingzheng, son of Liu Wenxiao, was utterly spoiled by his father, fostering his arrogant demeanor.

And this scoundrel was a notorious womanizer!

Liu Mingzheng's lecherous gaze filled Ji Yunxuan and Ji Ziyan with profound disgust from their hearts.

Ji Yunxuan spoke up again: "This is Deputy Sect Master Wang's territory. Outsiders cannot enter. Leave now!"

Eyeing Ji Yunxuan's smooth skin and frosty features, Liu Mingzheng chuckled, "Why must the young lady keep others at arm's length?"

"A guest deserves hospitality, and as a Tianfeng Sect disciple, wouldn't showing the best of host's courtesy be proper?"

Ji Yunxuan's brows furrowed. "You've had too much to drink—take your young master and go."

Yet the Xiaoyao Palace warriors who accompanied Liu Mingzheng remained stationed at both sides of the valley entrance, refusing to budge.

With a sly smile, Liu Mingzheng declared, "After today, Tianfeng Sect will vanish. You two sisters should throw yourselves into this young master's arms. I'll soon become Xiaoyao Palace's Palace Master and won't mistreat you."

These words turned Ji Ziyan's lovely face icy cold as she snapped in fury, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Bullshit?"

Grinning maliciously, Liu Mingzheng sneered, "Do you really believe today's meeting is for cooperating with Tianfeng Sect?"

"Today spells doom for your Heavenly Phoenix Sect!"

These shocking words drained the color from Ji Yunxuan and Ji Ziyan's faces.

"Alert the Deputy Sect Master right away!"

Hearing this, Ji Ziyan's form shot into the sky.

"Get down here!"

Liu Mingzheng thrust his palm toward Ji Ziyan to yank her down.

With Ji Ziyan merely at Daotai Divine Realm, how could she possibly match Liu Mingzheng of Daohai Seventh Layer?
