My Master Knows It All-Chapter 186 - 126: The Six Villains Gather_3

As the words were spoken, Cao Zhen’s eyes brightened immediately, mainly because he saw two red clouds approaching from the opposite side—the fiery hue was so bright it was impossible to ignore.

Tu Zhuque had clearly dressed up for the occasion today, her hair coiled into a bun with delicate, cloud-like wisps adorned with fiery red specks, and she even applied a subtle makeup to her face. Yet, her outfit from head to toe, accessories like hairpins, earrings, and bracelets, were all of the same fiery red color.

Li Ke, standing by her side, wasn’t donning any ornaments, but was likewise clad in red from head to toe. Together, the pair appeared as two flames drifting over.

Cao Zhen had to admit it, "You really do love the color red."

Tu Zhuque was in an exceptionally good mood today. Upon seeing Cao Zhen approaching, she even revealed a smile on her delicately made-up face, "I thank Peak Master Cao for gracing us with your presence."

She had indeed heard that Cao Zhen had been quite notorious these past days, yet today was the day they at Vermilion Bird Peak hosted a banquet. His presence was an honor, and she could not afford to greet him with a cold countenance. Besides, it wasn’t their Spirit Stones at Vermilion Bird Peak that Cao Zhen had swindled.

Cao Zhen bowed slightly with a sincere congratulation, "Congratulations, Chief Tu." He felt that among all those offering congratulations, none could match the genuineness of his own.

The one who had made a breakthrough was Li Ke. The higher Li Ke’s cultivation, the more experience he gained. How could he not be delighted?

With that, he turned his head to look toward Li Ke.

Li Ke didn’t seem as happy as her master. When she saw Cao Zhen arrive, she even paused for a moment. His reputation hadn’t been so good lately, and she thought he might hide away from the public. Yet here he was.

Tu Zhuque exchanged mere pleasantries with Cao Zhen, her gaze naturally falling upon Yi Sheng who followed behind him. She couldn’t help but puff up her chest a bit, "Little girl, did you see that? My disciple is now at Perfect Completion Golden Core, and moreover, all ten Golden Cores are of exceptional manifestation!"

The fact that many from Hundred Peaks came to celebrate was a testament to their glory.

If you had joined Vermilion Bird Peak, perhaps one day in the future, you’d have your moment of splendor as well.

But you chose Four Treasures Peak instead—what could they offer you? Are you regretting your decision now?

If you have regrets, it’s... not too late yet.

Tu Zhuque was already pondering in her heart. It wasn’t unheard of for disciples within the Hundred Peaks Sect to change allegiances. Seeing Li Ke’s glory and achievements today, how could Yi Sheng not be moved?

Later, she would just need to display the strength of Vermilion Bird Peak, and wouldn’t she then leave Four Treasures Peak?

If Yi Sheng were to join Vermilion Bird Peak, she would simply compensate Four Treasures Peak afterwards.

This was something worth planning carefully.

As she mused, another voice came from the entrance.

"Floating Snow Peak, Snow Peak Master arrives with the disciples to offer congratulations."

Tu Zhuque’s heart stirred, and she looked at Cao Zhen with an apologetic face, "Peak Master Cao, please excuse me..."

Cao Zhen understood immediately, "Chief Tu, please go about your business, don’t mind me."

"Qian Ru, lead Peak Master Cao to his seat," Tu Zhuque commanded a female disciple on the side, apologetically gestured toward Cao Zhen, and turned to walk away. She let Cao Zhen sit by himself first; given the rank of Four Treasures Peak and Cao Zhen’s reputation, it seemed no one would pay him much attention. This way, Yi Sheng could better feel the decline of Four Treasures Peak.

Comparing that to the Vermilion Bird Peak, she would certainly understand how to choose.

Cao Zhen and Yi Sheng were soon led by the female disciple to an empty stone table at the edge of the area. The table, made of stone, had a jade placard inscribed with the words "Four Treasures Peak." Similarly arranged on the table were fine wines and a variety of exquisite foods; such tables could be found throughout the courtyard, most of which were already filled with guests.

Clearly, the people of Hundred Peaks Sect held great respect for Vermilion Bird Peak.

Then, from the direction of the door, another loud voice sounded, and by its tone, it was much more significant than when Cao Zhen and the master of Floating Snow Peak had arrived.

"Sect Leader, the True Person, arrives with felicitations!"

With those words, all around, guests rose to their feet, looking towards the direction of the doorway.

At the entrance, Tu Zhuque’s smile could no longer be contained as it spread across her face. Even the Sect Leader was attending their Golden Core Club, such honor it brought to Vermilion Bird Peak!

Where was Chen Qingluan? Why hadn’t she arrived yet? freёweɓnovel_com

Watch closely! The Sect Leader himself has come. Does your disciple compare?

In the vast courtyard, many looked on as the Sect Leader approached, filled with admiration.

"The Sect Leader himself has arrived; this honor is truly vast!"

"The key is that Li Ke has really impressed. She’s achieved Perfect Completion Golden Core and each of the ten Golden Cores shows exceptional manifestation, which is so rare."

"Indeed, there’s no shortage of individuals with ten Tao Bases. However, those with ten Immortal Bridges are much fewer, and those who achieved Core Formation with ten Golden Cores are even scarcer. After all, as the Cultivation Base continues to rise, reaching Great Perfection becomes increasingly difficult.

Ten Golden Cores are a rarity, very rare indeed. As for those who hold ten Golden Cores, each with exceptional manifestation, they can only be a genius among geniuses, a true Heavenly Pride."

At a stone table, three individuals dressed in Peak Master attire sat together. One of them, who appeared a bit older, spoke slowly, "The Sect Leader’s attendance might also be linked to the approaching Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth."
