"My people thought it best to prevent me from obtaining a bunch of resources.. and learning intimate knowledge of events that took place in the past.. what do you think?" His eyes narrowed, looking at her out of the corner of his eyes.
"Petty man.." Yu Yan grumbled. She didn't stay close and scurried away to go talk to some people. Fear of getting popped in the back of the head was very evident as Shen Yue's hand came out of his sleeve. "..I see the Du siblings.. excuse me!"
After Shen Yue explained that he could have revived the Intent and given him a body the same way he did her, Yu Yan was regretful for interfering. But she knew he would have done something to the Intent of Tian Yue all the same.
"Ahh, I feel a little sleepy." Shen Yue rocked his head side to side. A quick glance, and he took in stock of most of his people interacting with others. He was about to walk pass a somewhat influential person in the Divine Feathers Sect. "Hmm?"
"Brother Ye Xuan, it looks like the beautiful flower Xiao Ninger already has someone." Murong Yu looked at Nie Li in contempt as he talked with Xiao Ninger. Some things never changed, especially the decisions of idiots who were used to being untouchable.
"Seems like I'll have to give up." Ye Xuan was not really planning on doing that so simply but wanted to play like he was doing someone a favor.
"Hehe, brother Ye Xuan seems to lack the spirit.." Murong Yu's very words started to make Shen Yue's skin crawl a little. So much so he acted on instinct and bumped into him. "watch where you or going!"
The swordsman snapped at him.
*Bam!* Shen Yue delivered a back hand that cracked the young man's skull and shattered several teeth. The strike was so abrupt, most didn't see it coming, and those who did were not in the room.
Several Elders of the Sects watched. With the big Five of the Divine Feathers Sect having a vested interest in what was going on. Rumors that something bad was going to happen had spread.
"Did you say something little bug?" Shen Yue had moved his hand to rub the back of his head. "oh, you ok? I didn't think bumping into you would knock you down like that. Such a weal little cultivator."
Most gave him an incredulous look, who accidentally bumps into someone and cause so much damage? They wouldn't voice it of course. The level of shamelessness was not to rare in the Divine Feathers Sect to see.
"You should be more careful, it is hard to keep from stepping on insects in the Divine Feathers Sect, so many of them all over acting important and smug." Yan Yang shook his head as he collected Shen Yue from going to far. "The Elders said we must be delicate.. like walking in a glass shop."
Seeing the red hair and large build of Yan Yang not to mention that of Shen Yue, those who had a little more bark in them were wanting to protest the words spoken.
Murong Yu was so humiliated that it took awhile for him to get his bearings back. Even more so to pick up his teeth. The humiliation kept him from saying anything in response.
The intense pain in his jaw took effort to heal for some reason. Shen Yue had injected a tiny bit os Star Energy inside to start eating away at the others cultivation base slowly.
"That guys is still so.. ugh." Nie Li gave a curt look towards Shen Yue. Still unable to check his cultivation at all and not liking he was so influential in the Skyblaze Sect by the looks of it and the rumors. "He is with some people of the Skyblaze Sect who are well known."
"You have it wrong." Shen Ling voiced from her part of the table. "Those of the Skyblaze Sect are with him. There is so much going on in the Sect that I can't even begin to start." She couldn't see anything really good about Nie Li but his eyes had a weird pull. 'Xiao Ninger must know something I suppose in the end o real to be bad.'
Those of the Big 5 that were watching kept a sparring view on the situation after nothing started from the encounter. A particular member had her senses trained on Shen Yue.
The shock when it was brushed back caused the Hierarch to frown. Someone of the younger generation able to do so was exemplary, someone from the Tiny World even more so.
'If not for Shuyun's plans going on, I would spend a little more time looking into this Shen Yue and those with him.' Slipping into deep thought, the Heirach spared a glance at Long Sha. Something about his movements was off. 'Should I spend some time checking into the Archives or leave it be?'
The way Long Sha looked was not remotely close to any of her family members but every now and then she could swear he looked towards her general direction.

Table Seating-
.
Shen Yue was sitting at a table with Shen Ling across from him. Behind him was Duan Jian, literally watching his back.
"Just put your hand there, lets find out." A plate that had runes along the side that most didn't understand was visible. On the opposite side of where Shen Yue had his thumb, was a spot for another person to do the same. "It is just a slight blood test is all."
"Ok." Shen Ling's family was not that prominent anymore and lost a lot of family members over the centuries. The chance to find others was something she told Xiao Ninger about in passing. "Hmm?"
A green light showed among the runes half way on the right side. The left lighting up blue. Shen Yue frowned as this was something he did not suspect. The green only meant she was related in the sense of like cousins about 200 plus generations or another back.
Still needed fine-tuning to have better results for blood testing and spiritual blood testing.
The blue however meant she was actually related as a spiritual sibling to himself as Leroy. Shen Ling was not a reincarntor, transmigrator, time traveler, or a doppelganger of sort or another. Defintely did not have the indicators of being a Champion Candidate.
"We are kin... through my mother's side..." A tie to the African Pantheon was not really the best considering his History with them. "How attached are you to the Heavenly Note Sect?"
Shen Ling had to think about it before making a decision right now.
After going over some things and listening to her about how some of her key family members disappeared a few generations ago, it made Shen Yue want to go back to the Skyblaze Sect and work on maps again of the region.
The thought of something happening that allowed them to get to Earth started to fester in his mind. But then again, they could have ended up somewhere else and mixed with someone in his family somehow.
"Ehem!" Ye Xuan cleared his throat to get people's attention around the table. Only a few even looked his way. "The Sect Higher Ups of the Three Divine Sects have given us the opportunity to meet and communicate with each other. So that when we step into the outside World, we can take care of each other."
"Yeah, by killing out the competition and making it easier for us to grow stronger!" Shen Yue snickered from his table. A few chuckling as well with a few unnerved by his words.
"AS I was saying, I Ye Xuan, would like to offer a toast to you all, now that we've met.." Trying to get them to pay attention was harder than before. People at other tables actually giving him better looks. "..despite what others may think, it is best to get along moving forward!"
"What young master Ye said was indeed true." Murong Yu joined in to help as he could. As a prominent figure of the Divine Feathers Sect, more Infamous than anything they listened up. 'I need to get back my dignity from that sneak attack before!'
"Sit down and stop embarrassing the Skyblaze Sect!" Yan Yang said. Dissatisfied with someone like Murong Yu helping Ye Xua, he made his displeasure known. "You have enough troubles and need to stop hanging out with suck ups!"
"How dare you.." Ye Xuan grumbled at the newcomer to the Skyblaze Sect who was not even part of the Sect really. He couldn't reprimand Yan Yang due to his position. SO he changed directions. "Murong Yu is my brother, I m sure the same can not be said about this .. upstart."
As a member of the Ye family, Ye Xuan had a lot of influence, but it belonged more to his family than himself. With controlling resources however, one did not get involved with a dispute lightly.
"We can have a Death Duel to solve the problem." Shen Yue said with a smile on his face. A bit of flame dancing around a bit. "Best way to show if I am an upstart or not."
Thinking over what happened to Murong Yu before, Ye Xuan chose to not answer. Changing the subject after looking around the table.
"You must be brother Xingyun, I often hear about you from my Father." Putting a smile on his face that was slicker than the most corrupt politician. "Our Ye Clan of the Skyblaze Sect and your Ashen Flames Family of the Divine Feathers Sect could be called long-time friends."
Ye Xuan offered a drink up to him in salute from that. To some he was a coward but others saw it as him taking the high road.
"Told you Xingyun is an idiot." Shen Yue was resting his head on top of his hand, the other holding onto Shen Ling's hand, sending Star Core energy into her body directly. Quite a few people were looking at her red face thinking impure thoughts. "Maybe he is not worth getting to know after all?"
Ye Xuan and Xingyun spoke a bit as awkward friends more than anything.
"He really can't tell people, and their backgrounds don't always mean the best." Ye Hong blinked in amazement. "He actually thinks he is a friend... is he just sheltered.. or that bad at reading people?"
His time spent in the Divine Feathers Sect was spent cultivating diligently and making up for his cousin's choices before they arrived in the Draconic Ruins Realm.
"There is naive and then there is..." Duan Jian was in awe watching it take place.
"How long will you be around?" Nie Li asked Xiao Ninger after some time.
"Two more days.. I doubt we can have it extended."
"Then visit my place tonight." He said it was like no big deal, which it was. Xiao Ninger just gave a nod as she understood he didn't mean anything by it. Half of the table was embarrassed think the worse thoughts. "A few things to go over."
One thing that bother Shen Yue about this gathering, not a lot of real security. Besides the Ambassadors in another room and Elders, the actual area for the younger generation was not .. supervised.
*Woosh!* A few felt their cultivations stir as the little sycophant Long Tianming stepped out. An immense pressure weighed on the room in an instant afterward. Shen Ling was still in a daze; her hand was now free at least.
"What is this might!?" A few cultivators collapsed to the floor having difficulty breathing, let alone lifting their heads up.
Shen Yue only spared a glance towards Tianming. The air itself churned as Spiritual energy was eaten in large droves by him to counter act what was going on. Since they focused so much on Heavenly Energy, it was abundant in the air.
"My apologies.. I was testing something out." With a lift of the hand, the spirit energy was swallowed whole relieving the pressure in the room. Those who were injured found themselves healing and even moving up in cultivation somewhat. "Some "filth" came in so I needed to make sure none of you are influence by it."
Long Tianming moved over towards them.
