CHAPTER 473: CHAPTER 253: A SHORT PARTING IS BETTER THAN A NEW MARRIAGE

Li Yunjing’s rented courtyard was an ordinary courtyard house, far inferior to the luxurious residences where Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao lived.

There was nothing he could do about it.

The "City of Glory" was never a comfortable, leisurely city.

This place was once the northern frontier of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," a fortress of iron and blood.

This was the best inn Li Yunjing could find.

If he wanted better living conditions, it would require a greater cost, or he would need to arrange a place with the officials of the "City of Glory" to accommodate a sect’s high-ranking person.

Li Yunjing was just here to attend an auction; naturally, he wouldn’t spend a fortune on accommodation.

As for finding the officials of the "City of Glory"?

He didn’t know anyone; his foundation was too shallow. Who would bother with him!

As of now, Li Yunjing was not yet a True Disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," merely an Inner Sect Disciple!

"Old Li! Your living conditions are quite poor!"

The four of them gathered in the courtyard, sitting around a stone table on stone stools, and Fu Chao shook his head slightly.

"Hey! This is pretty good! It didn’t use up a few spirit stones! As for leveraging the sect connection to get a suitable place? I’m not capable of that! Look! I’m wearing Inner Sect clothes!"

Li Yunjing said irritably.

At this moment, the stone table was filled with many spirit fruits and a teapot boiling water, and everyone sat around, discussing the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and border news.

Most of it was Li Yunjing talking while Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao listened.

When Li Yunjing mentioned he had used the Tier Three "Samadhi True Fire Talisman" and "Jade Pendant," both Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi were shocked.

It was through inquiry that they learned Li Yunjing had once been pursued by a Golden Core Realm old devil.

"Hey hey! I was able to come back alive, all thanks to you!"

Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi each sat beside Li Yunjing, he looked at the two, his expression full of affection.

"I never thought you went through so many dangers!"

Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi were still somewhat frightened, even though they knew Li Yunjing was safe and sound in front of them, their hearts were still filled with terror.

"Hey!"

Seeing the three of them like this, Fu Chao shook his head slightly and inserted himself into the conversation: "Tomorrow, you will come to a banquet with me!"

"Hmm? What banquet?"

Li Yunjing was taken aback, then asked.

As for the banquet Fu Chao mentioned, why was there an event just as he arrived?

Li Yunjing wasn’t particularly surprised, considering the authority of the Fu Family at the border, and Fu Chao, as the second young master of the Fu Family, had great connections.

When he came to the "City of Glory," it was normal for the Fu Family people to greet him and invite Fu Chao.

If no one informed Fu Chao, that would indicate a serious issue.

"A few of the top ten True Disciples of the ’Primordial Yang Dao Sect’ are here, exchanging ideas with our strong members of the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect.’ It seems they want to challenge us!"

Fu Chao said disdainfully.

"What?"

Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and Lv Ruoxi were all shocked, never expecting such a high-standard banquet.

No matter which of these two giant sects, the top ten True Disciples were all incredibly formidable.

Li Yunjing had interacted with three of them, but there was no extended interaction; they weren’t in the same circle.

In the Foundation Establishment Realm circle, Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao weren’t at the lowest level, but they also weren’t at the top.

At least, for such banquets, Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and Lv Ruoxi had never even heard of them, indicating their low status and exclusion from the invitation list.

If not for Fu Chao, Li Yunjing wouldn’t even know about the event.

"Are we even qualified to attend this banquet?"

Lv Ruoxi asked straightforwardly.

"Hehe! My elder brother is also there! Do you think we don’t have the qualification?"

Fu Chao took a sip of tea and chuckled.

Fu Hengkong is also there!

He is one of the most formidable True Disciples in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," ranking among the top three!

Mentioning that name, even though Li Yunjing had advanced to Foundation Establishment Realm, he still felt immense respect.

Recalling those days on "Mad Extreme Peak," he could still clearly remember Fu Hengkong’s grandeur!

A proud figure among the proud, with a renowned reputation that spanned the Southern Heaven Continent’s Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Except for Golden Core Realm cultivators, in the Foundation Establishment Realm, regardless of sect or origin, Fu Hengkong was among the few nearly invincible cultivators!

Without the ability to face Golden Core Realm masters head-on, one wouldn’t have the qualification to duel Fu Hengkong!

Such were the standards of that elite group!

Reflecting on Li Yunjing’s previous plight while being pursued by a Golden Core Realm master from the "Netherworld Ghost Sect," he was utterly wretched!

He couldn’t withstand a single blow; there was no other option but to flee, highlighting the gap between Li Yunjing and Fu Hengkong.

Facing such a mighty figure, no matter how proud Li Yunjing was, he had to bow his head.

For at least a few decades, he wouldn’t have the qualification to rival Fu Hengkong!

And by the time Li Yunjing reached Fu Hengkong’s level, the latter would probably have advanced to the Golden Core Realm and become part of the sect’s leadership.

Such characters also garnered immense respect from Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi, admiration beyond words.

"Alright then! Reach out to Senior Brother Fu and help us get a spot to go in and take a look!"

Li Yunjing thought for a moment and considered it a chance to witness the event.

Interacting with people from the "Primordial Yang Dao Sect," even if they were allies with the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," their previous encounters hadn’t seemed friendly.
