CHAPTER 1112: CHAPTER 343: MAY THE QI FAMILY THRIVE FOR MILLENNIA AND FLOURISH!

"Truly, people can drive you to rage by comparison."

The Central State City Lord gazed at the scene, his expression complicated, and muttered hoarsely. For the past ten years, he had exhausted his brain cells, trying every possible means while offering countless rewards, all to attract top forces to his Ascension Conference.

However, these forces had merely sent representatives; the sect leaders would never come in person.

Let alone someone like Ba Dan, a True Immortal, who had never shown up before.

Yet a single "Clan Establishment Banquet" managed to gather all the family heads of the top forces from the entire Tidal Immortal Realm, while his brain-wracking "Ascension Conference" was less eventful than this one banquet. This sense of defeat left him feeling somewhat powerless.

But one thing made him happy: Chen Qiu... had indeed come!

After a ten-year absence, Chen Qiu finally reappeared. If this time he could connect with Chen Qiu, it would accelerate his plans significantly!

...

"Whoa."

Chen Qiu, leaning on a cane, strode into the Qi Family Courtyard surrounded by Fat Long and several others. With a glance, he saw quite a few old acquaintances: "It’s quite lively."

He had basically met all of them at the "Ascension Conference" ten years ago, but he didn’t expect to see them for a second time here.

Then he glanced at Ba Dan beside him, who had arrived with him, and smiled, patting his shoulder: "Long time no see."

"Indeed, long time no see."

Ba Dan slightly bowed, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes. He could clearly feel that Chen Qiu’s cultivation was already at the ninth layer of Heavenly Immortal, just a step away from the Heavenly Immortal Peak. The senior’s cultivation speed was always terrifying.

He showed great respect, which used to be based more on gratitude and potential, but now was entirely out of awe.

Even though his cultivation was still slightly higher than Chen Qiu’s.

But Chen Qiu, ten years ago, had crushed a True Immortal Peak powerhouse from the Sixth Rank Immortal Realm with just Earth Immortal eighth-layer cultivation. That scene was still widely talked about, not to mention he only had True Immortal Early Stage cultivation back then.

In terms of combat power, Chen Qiu could outperform him by ten folds.

Back then, Chen Qiu had only Earth Immortal eighth-layer cultivation, with the strongest technique just being "Fusion Body Killing Move," but now he had broken through to the ninth layer of Heavenly Immortal and possessed the powerful "Heavenly Realm" move that far exceeded the previous strength, making him even less of a match now.

"So, what do you say?"

Chen Qiu glanced around and finally fixed his gaze on the Qi Family Patriarch, raising his eyebrows: "Shall we eat first?"

He didn’t know who this Qi Family Patriarch was, nor did he feel anything special about him. He was just invited by Jiang Buping. Since Jiang Buping offered the invitation, he didn’t mind doing him a favor.

Having been in seclusion for ten years, he indeed hadn’t had a proper meal.

-

"..."

The Chao Sect Master slightly twitched his lips, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes without saying anything more, as if entering a life-or-death seclusion, the kind that could lead to his end.

Immediately afterward—

A cascade of voices arose on the street outside the Qi Family Courtyard, resonating incessantly.

"Prince Wei of ’Prince Wei Mansion,’ Qi State, has come to support, wishing the Qi Family’s legacy lasts a thousand years, thriving and prosperous!"

"Central State ’Central State City’ Lord has come to support, wishing the Qi Family’s legacy lasts a thousand years, thriving and prosperous!"

"President of Central State ’Hundred Spirit Bird Commerce’ has come to support, wishing the Qi Family’s legacy lasts a thousand years, thriving and prosperous!"

"Central State..."

In an instant!

A large number of guests suddenly surged to the front of the Qi Family Courtyard, their faces filled with smiles, carrying various gifts into the courtyard. Meanwhile, the Qi Family Patriarch stood there frozen, not knowing what had happened, with a look of bewilderment on his face.

As for those family heads of surrounding forces originally in the Qi Family Courtyard, they all obediently stood up to make space for these new forces, relinquishing their seats.

Among them were many top forces from the Tidal Immortal Realm!

Even the Central State City Lord had come in person. Gee, not many forces could invite the Central State City Lord to their Clan Establishment Banquet; such an honor was enormous. People exchanged glances, seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

Just what kind of background did this Qi Family have?

To invite so many powerful figures, with heads of these forces personally attending, indicated something more than mere courtesy; it meant they extremely esteemed the Qi Family. Yet, if the Qi Family was so formidable, why establish the clan in such a backwater place as Jie City?

What was their motive?

However—

Just then, two resounding voices echoed outside the Qi Family Courtyard, shocking every guest inside. They all stood up, looking solemnly toward the entrance of the courtyard.

"Clan Leader Ba Dan of ’Barbarian Tribe,’ has come to support, wishing the Qi Family’s legacy lasts a thousand years, thriving and prosperous!"

"Chen Qiu, the Sect Master of ’Chao Tian Sect,’ along with all members, has come to support, wishing the Qi Family’s legacy lasts a thousand years, thriving and prosperous!"

The appearance of these two elevated the status of this Clan Establishment Banquet to yet another level!

One was the sole True Immortal of the Tidal Immortal Realm, the strongest expert in the entire realm!

The other was Chen Qiu, renowned for countless miracles and addressed as a senior by Ba Dan, a well-known figure across the Tidal Immortal Realm.

For these two to attend together, and only for the Qi Family’s "Clan Establishment Banquet"!

No doubt.

This Clan Establishment Banquet would be the most prestigious in the entire Tidal Immortal Realm, unparalleled, likely never to be surpassed.

...

Now, not only were the initial batch of guests in the courtyard dumbfounded, but even the later arrivals were flabbergasted. They initially believed they would be the grand finale, but now it seemed they were merely part of the crowd...?

Before coming, they did not know what force this Qi Family was, only subjugated into attending this celebration as part of a stipulation.

Upon arriving...my goodness, there was quite a crowd.

Even Chen Qiu, who had been silent for ten years, appeared here.

What kind of connections did this Qi Family have?!

For a moment, every guest’s mind exploded with this thought.

"Truly, people can drive you to rage by comparison."

The Central State City Lord gazed at the scene, his expression complicated, and muttered hoarsely. For the past ten years, he had exhausted his brain cells, trying every possible means while offering countless rewards, all to attract top forces to his Ascension Conference.
