Beautiful CEO's Top Martial Expert-Chapter 2166 - 2164: The Banquet

"At that time, they will have to be above the remaining Six Kills, which they naturally do not want to see, and they all wish to obtain the inheritance of this Half-Step Samsara Realm expert themselves."

"Because of all this, they decided to take action against my grandfather. In their quest for power, they have completely forgotten the ancestral teachings of mutual progress among the Seven Kills in The Qisha Hall."

Jin Hao’s eyes flashed with a hint of anger, sighing softly.

"I never expected there to be a residence of a Half-Step Samsara Realm expert in the Ancient Realm. If word gets out, the entire Ancient Realm will be shaken. Those monsters who have been in hiding for hundreds of thousands of years will likely emerge!"

Long Qian spoke.

"Are there experts of the Half-Step Samsara Realm in the world?"

Xiao Yifeng curiously asked.

"Naturally, there are. However, such beings seldom appear before the world. During the Ancient Era, there were more experts at the Half-Step Samsara Realm than now."

"Nowadays, even a Titular Dominator is seen once in many centuries, let alone a Half-Step Samsara Realm expert, who is basically nowhere to be found."

"Perhaps such experts exist among the Eight Ancient Clans or the Four Great Imperial Lineages. The previous generation Dragon Emperor of my Dragon Clan also reached the Half-Step Samsara Realm, yet he never appeared. Even I only heard the current Dragon Clan Leader mention him but never saw the previous Dragon Emperor."

Long Qian spoke in a deep voice.

"You should stay here temporarily. The people from The Qisha Hall shouldn’t be able to find you here."

Xiao Yifeng said to Jin Hao.

"Thank you!"

Jin Hao expressed his gratitude.

"No need to be so polite. Our paths have crossed several times, which is our fate. As for your grandfather, I believe with his strength, he will be alright!"

Xiao Yifeng reassured him.

"Hmm!"

Jin Hao nodded.

"Young Master, there’s an urgent matter!"

At this point, Mad Beast’s voice echoed from outside the room.

"You rest first!"

Xiao Yifeng told Jin Hao, then quickly walked out.

"What is it now?"

Xiao Yifeng asked Mad Beast upon stepping out.

"Miss Yunyan of the Zhong Family sent a message saying that Tian Wu was injured by the eldest son of the Shang family, Shang Xiao, who plans to announce tonight at the Independent Cultivators Alliance banquet that Zhong Yunyan and her sister will become his fiancées."

Mad Beast spoke in a deep voice.

"What? Tian Wu has been injured? Where are they now?"

Xiao Yifeng’s expression changed.

"The messenger said they are being monitored and cannot move, but they will attend the Independent Cultivators Alliance banquet tonight."

Mad Beast explained.

"Hmph, Shang Xiao, hurting my brother, very well!"

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing within them.

"A residence of a Half-Step Samsara Realm expert!"

Elsewhere, Bai Lang stood under a tree, gazing at the void above, murmuring to himself.

"Just calculating the time, that day is approaching. Boss, when will you fully return!"

Bai Lang muttered to himself, his eyes reflecting an unfathomable expression.

In the Holy City’s Inner City, a tavern has been fully reserved by the Independent Cultivators Alliance as the venue for tonight’s banquet.

A large group has gathered inside the tavern, all from the Independent Cultivators Alliance, including those who train within the alliance and members of its affiliated forces, such as people from Tianchen Auction House, descendants of the Five Great Clans, and representatives from the Three Great Families of Tianxiu Loose Cultivators.

Young members of the Five Great Clans, like Dong Aofei, are present, and Liu Ruoxin from the Tianchen Auction House is also there, accompanied by a youth.

With short hair and a thin physique, possessing an icy expression and ordinary eyes, he looks entirely plain and emits no aura.

Xiao Yifeng recognizes this person; he is the genius Heart Sword from China’s Shu Mountain.

Elsewhere stands the Young Master Mu Liancheng of the Mu Family, one of the Three Great Families of the Tianxiu Commerce Guild, accompanied by a young woman of delicate beauty—Miss Chen Jingwen from the Chen Family, which is one of the Three Great Families besides the Shang Family and Mu Family.

"The Shang family sure knows how to put on a show with such a grand arrangement!"

Chen Jingwen commented with a light smile.

"Hmph, it’s nothing more than leveraging his son Shang Xiao’s influence to flaunt the Shang family’s prestige!"

Mu Liancheng scoffed, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

"I heard that tonight Shang Xiao will announce that the two sisters from the Zhong Family will become his fiancées. The Zhong Family certainly knows how to play their cards."

"Offering both daughters to Shang Xiao seems like an effort to leverage his position to elevate their own standing among the Five Great Clans."

Chen Jingwen’s lips curved slightly as she spoke calmly.

Mu Liancheng’s expression darkened upon hearing Chen Jingwen’s words, his eyes reflecting a gloomy hue.

Elsewhere, Nan Hanchen, Dong Aofei, and Bei Pengyu gathered together.

"After tonight, with the alliance of Shang Xiao and the Zhong Family, they’ll likely surpass our Four Great Families!"

Nan Hanchen remarked coldly.

"Not necessarily!"

Dong Aofei flashed a mysterious smile.

"Oh, why not?"

Nan Hanchen asked, turning his gaze to Dong Aofei.

"Because of one person!"

Bei Pengyu spoke solemnly.

"One person? Who?"

Nan Hanchen inquired.

"Reen Tianwu’s brother, Xiao Yifeng!"

Dong Aofei responded casually.

"That guy!"

Nan Hanchen’s eyes narrowed, a gleam flickering in them, and he said gravely, "Are you sure he’ll appear?"

"Zhong Yunyan has already sent someone to inform him. Considering how he stood up for Reen Tianwu yesterday, once he knows Tian Wu is injured, he won’t let it slide easily."

"Given that Reen Tianwu was injured, he’s bound to show up tonight. Let’s wait for a good show!"

Dong Aofei chuckled and looked at Bei Pengyu: "Who do you think is stronger between him and Shang Xiao?"

"Not sure, but they’re both formidable!"

Bei Pengyu replied with a deep tone.

At this moment, a group of people walked in, led by Shang Xiao. Beside him were two middle-aged men, his father Shang Jun and Zhong Family Patriarch Zhong Longzhong.

Zhong Yunyan and Zhong Yunfei followed behind them, but their faces were not looking good, while Reen Tianwu was absent.

The group stepped into the crowd, drawing the attention of the Independent Cultivators Alliance members around them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s gathering is to unite everyone and also to wish our members participating in tomorrow’s Dragon List battle immediate success, hoping they will all rank on the Dragon List, echoing fame through the Ancient Realm."

Shang Jun addressed the crowd.

"Moreover, we have another joyous announcement to make at tonight’s banquet!"

Shang Jun declared, wearing a smile.
