I feed the worms with my body, I am the evil demon

The news of the Xiao family's young master's Danjie celebration swept the entire inner mountain like a storm. Whether it was a force that had a grudge against the Xiao family or not, they all put aside their past prejudices and conflicts on this day and prepared generous gifts to go to the Xiao family to congratulate.

This Danjie celebration became an unprecedented event in the inner mountain. For a time, there was a constant stream of traffic in front of the Xiao family, and it was very lively. Various rare gifts and elixirs were sent to the Xiao family.

And inside the Xiao family, there was laughter and joy. The elders of the family went out in person to welcome the guests from all parties, showing the importance of the Xiao family to this celebration. At the same time, they also showed the strength and status of the Xiao family to the outside world.

The place where the Xiao family is located is a vast plain. A shocking disaster once occurred here-a huge star fell from the sky and hit the ground, causing a raging fire. The fire spread for hundreds of miles and burned for decades before it gradually extinguished.

This land is therefore called the "Land of Falling Stars", and has become a place full of mystery and historical sedimentation.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, when this star fell, flames engulfed the earth, and thick smoke billowed, covering the sky and the sun. This disaster lasted for decades, causing great damage to the surrounding ecological environment, but it also gave birth to unique landforms and resources.

The ancestor of the Xiao family passed by this place by chance and witnessed this amazing scene, which shocked him deeply. He saw the potential and opportunities of this land and decided to take it for himself and make it the ancestral land of the Xiao family. From then on, the Xiao family took root here and gradually grew and developed.

The ancestor of the Xiao family led the clansmen to settle here, using the unique resources of this land and constantly exploring. After generations of efforts, the Xiao family finally established a huge family power on this land of falling stars and became a hegemon.

The city built of brown star stones is tall and majestic, and the walls are solid and thick, giving people a sense of indestructibility, like a prehistoric beast from ancient times.

The city is filled with a strong breath of sparks, which interweave and flow in the air, forming a series of colorful lights.

The architectural style in the city is unique, with pavilions, palaces, castles and other buildings densely arranged and scattered in the city.

Layers of protective formations were opened today, and the various forces that received the invitations came to the core area of ​​the Xiao family with courtesy to each other. A square platform built on the highest star stone of the Xiao family was filled with banquets.

The guests were full and lively, which was a rare gathering of various forces in Heimo Mountain.

"This young master Xiao held a celebration after such a long time. I thought the Xiao family didn't plan to hold it."

"How could it not be held? Such a face-saving thing must be carefully planned."

There were some Jindan loose cultivators who were on good terms with the Xiao family in the crowd. They sat on the banquet table and talked in a low voice.

On the first stage in the distance, all the elders of the Xiao family were present. Xiao Yu wore a purple and gold brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist, and bowed to thank the people around him from time to time.

He narrowed his eyes and looked down. Nearly a hundred people came at this moment, most of them were independent cultivators. The unrest in Heimo Mountain was temporarily suppressed by him, and he released the news to ease the gap between independent cultivators and clans.

So the people from the other eleven Five Immortal Sects who came this time must be the core figures who can make decisions.

Of course, there were some high-level independent cultivators who sneered, but the fact that most of them came was already a big honor for the Xiao family.

"Feng Wuhen of the Feng family came to congratulate. Young Master Xiao is a genius and is a blessing for Heimo Mountain."

Hearing the sound, the crowd looked over and saw a middle-aged man driving a huge flying boat in the distance. Behind him stood two Jindan cultivators and several younger generations of the Feng family.

Xiao Yu laughed loudly, "It turns out that Senior Feng is here. Please take a seat."

No one from the independent cultivators stood up, but there was no great hostility. The reputation of the Feng family was still good among the twelve families.

"I just came out of retreat and caught up with my nephew Xiao's celebration. He is so young that he can form a pill. He is really formidable!"

As soon as Feng Wuhen sat down, people saw a flying sword several dozen feet long breaking through the air. The man was dressed in white and was over fifty years old. His cultivation was obviously at the peak of forming a pill.

"I didn't expect the head of the Ye family to come in person."

"The Xiao family is so proud. Master Ye Qing hasn't shown up for a long time."

Even Xiao Yu was a little surprised. The Ye family was the most low-key among the twelve families. He didn't expect the head of the Ye family to come to his celebration in person.

However, when he saw Ye Liuyun and his uncle standing behind Ye Qing, Xiao Yu understood that he had sent his own father.

"Uncle Ye can come to visit us in person. It's a great honor for us. Hahaha."

Most of the casual cultivators stood up to be polite when they saw Ye Qing coming. They admired the Ye family the most.

"Master Ye is about to form a baby, right?"

"Yes, his aura can't be suppressed."

The two strongest families have arrived, and the Mo family, Tang family and other twelve families have arrived late, plus one Jindan cultivator from each of the five immortal sects, there are more than 60 Jindan cultivators at the banquet.

Gu Xiu didn't expect that he was the last one to arrive. He was busy refining his body, refining the elixir and helping Xiao San advance, and almost forgot the time.

When he rushed over quickly, there were already toasts on the banquet table in the distance, but he didn't care because he was thick-skinned.

"Who is this person?"

"What a handsome young man, he is also a Jindan cultivator. How come I haven't seen him before?"

"I have some impression of him. He looks a bit like the beloved disciple of the ancient ancestor Guhe."

"You know what, he really looks like him."

Hundreds of eyes were looking at Gu Xiu, making him feel a little uncomfortable. His red clothes rustled and his long golden ponytail fluttered in the wind behind him. Gu Xiu landed on the high platform and looked around for a few times before bowing his hands to apologize.

"Brother Xiao, please don't blame me. I was delayed by some matters in the valley, so I came late."

Xiao Yu was a little helpless, but he still responded with a smile on his face, "No, no, I just started. Seniors, this is Gu Xiu, the disciple of Gu He Patriarch."

"Really, how old is he and he has already formed a pill?"

"Could it be that the person who formed a pill a few days ago was him?"

A group of people looked at each other and really couldn't believe it.

"The scene of forming a pill a few days ago was Brother Gu. It just so happens that Xiao and he are close friends, so I invited him to celebrate together."

Xiao Yu gestured to Gu Xiu to take a seat.

"So that's how it is. You are indeed the disciple of Gu He Patriarch."

"Fellow Daoist Gu is probably not even sixty years old!"

There was constant flattery. Ye Qing had been in seclusion for a long time and didn't know about Gu Xiu until someone around him introduced him to him. He frowned and looked at the two people in the distance with deep meaning, thinking, "When did this kid from the Xiao family get close to Gu He's disciple?"

The casual cultivators were excited. After all, Gu Xiu represented casual cultivators, and some of them were generous and generous in giving gifts.

Gu Xiu accepted all the gifts.

After sitting down, Gu Xiu looked at everyone present, his eyes lowered, and he murmured, "So many high-level blood food!"

Not far from Gu Xiu's seat, an old man in a black robe caught his attention.

There was no spiritual fluctuation around this man, and he was very introverted and did not attract people's attention, but the longevity sect pattern in Gu Xiu's body reacted to him.

Seeing Gu Xiu looking at him, the old man with a face full of ravines like a dead tree grinned.

"I am the twenty-fourth, named Shadow, and I am honored to meet the Fifth Saint." A voice transmission echoed in Gu Xiu's heart.

The twenty-fourth Shadow Saint Lord of the Ninety-Six Saint Lords.

Gu Xiu replied: "Senior, your words are too kind. I'm sorry that I can't greet you."

Shadow Saint Lord smiled and nodded. This was the first time he had met the Fifth Saint Lord, and he was quite interested.
