Supreme Devouring God-Chapter 1524: Night Banquet!

"Little Strange!"

Qin Chen casually called out.

Little Strange immediately leapt down from Qin Chen's shoulder, slowly walking towards Lin Yueli and Liu Tian.

Liu Tian and his companion were well aware of how terrifying this small, palm-sized white beast actually was. The scene of the tragic deaths of the four Primordial Flower Realm peak fighters was still vivid in their minds.

Now, seeing Little Strange approach them, their faces turned pale with fear.

"I... I was wrong! I'm sorry! I was blind and didn't realize who I was dealing with! Please don't kill me! Please spare my life!"

Liu Tian wailed and wept.

Qin Chen didn't even glance at him: "Too late!"

"Bang!"

Little Strange suddenly pounced, transforming into a giant tiger. With its four paws, it pressed down, smashing Liu Tian and Lin Yueli into meat pies.

"Swoosh!"

Then, Little Strange's tail whipped out, striking Zhao Ming harshly, sending his body flying nearly a hundred meters, rolling to the ground, mangled beyond recognition, life extinguished.

Fang Xiong's body trembled violently, and he rushed behind Fang Shuangshi: "Brother! Save me! Save me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Fang Xiong was terrified beyond measure.

Fang Shuangshi's face slightly changed, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Benefactor! You need not hesitate. If you wish to kill, then kill! I will not object!"

He knew well that Qin Chen was not someone he could influence.

Hearing this, Fang Xiong panicked: "Brother! You can't do this! I'm your brother! I'm your own brother! How can you watch your own brother die without saving him?"

At this moment, Fang Xiong's heart was filled with deep incomprehension.

Fang Shuangshi silently answered in his heart: "Because saving you might drag the entire Heavenly Destiny Bank into an abyss!"

This was a risk Fang Shuangshi dared not take!

Qin Chen glanced at Fang Xiong, said nothing, and walked away.

The crowd automatically made way for him.

Watching this young man was like beholding a deity.

In their eyes.

Filled with admiration and astonishment.

Fang Shuangshi breathed a sigh of relief and scolded Fang Xiong, "You should be thankful that the benefactor didn't kill you! Your life was spared! Learn from this in the future!"

A hint of malice flashed in the depths of Fang Xiong's eyes.

Usually, he relied on the Heavenly Destiny Bank and his seemingly omnipotent brother!

But today.

This brother broke his leg publicly, even refusing to save him.

These actions stirred a trace of malice within Fang Xiong's heart.

However.

He did not show it.

Then.

Fang Shuangshi hurriedly caught up with Qin Chen.

"Please wait, benefactor!"

Qin Chen stopped and looked at him.

Fang Shuangshi gratefully said, "Thank you, benefactor, for not holding a grudge against my oblivious brother!"

Qin Chen said blandly, "No need!"

Fang Shuangshi got to the point: "I came to Qiiulong City to inform you, benefactor, that the Seventh Mansion Master of Jinglong Domain, Hea Zhengyang, will host a night banquet tonight at Qiiu Se Lake in Qiiulong City."

"According to the information I received, representatives from the Jitian Sect, Sky Sea Sect, the Guan Family, Soong Family, Tang Family of the Thirty-Six Families, and our Heavenly Destiny Bank will attend the banquet."

"If you desire, I can offer one of our Heavenly Destiny Bank's invitations to you, benefactor. It would be a good opportunity for you to assess the strength levels of the forces entering Imperial Dragon Mansion."

Qin Chen nodded, "Alright."

This night banquet.

Except for the Red Sun Divine Sect, all other forces participated.

It wasn't a bad thing for Qin Chen to get a heads-up.

...

It was the peak of autumn.

Also, the most beautiful time for Qiiu Se Lake.

The nighttime Qiiu Se Lake was even more mesmerizing.

The slight autumn breeze caressed the lake, bringing a refreshing chill that brushed against the face, a sensation of pure delight.

The Qiiu Se Lake tonight.

Was brilliantly lit.

Silhouettes dancing about.

A banquet was set up by the lake.

Various dignitaries and powerful figures gathered here, indulging in the nocturnal scenery of the lake.

Qin Chen seemed somewhat out of place.

He casually found a seat and sat down, not engaging in any mingling.

Fang Shuangshi was seated beside him.

Then.

A tall man, resembling Fang Shuangshi, approached, his gaze landing on Qin Chen, quickly clasping his hands in salute, "You must be the benefactor who saved my son Shuangshi?"

Fang Shuangshi hurriedly introduced, "Benefactor! This is my father, Manor Master of Heavenly Destiny Bank, Fang Qiu."

Qin Chen responded with a polite smile.

Fang Qiu said, "Thank you, young hero, for saving my son! Rest assured, young hero, during this expedition to the Imperial Dragon Mansion, any treasure that catches your eye, our Heavenly Destiny Bank will surely assist you in obtaining it to the best of our abilities!"

Qin Chen smiled, "Thank you very much!"

Though he indeed did not need Heavenly Destiny Bank's help, it was a kind gesture, and he couldn't be cold in return.

"Shuangshi, take good care of the young hero!"

Fang Qiu instructed.

Fang Shuangshi immediately began introducing to Qin Chen, "During this trip to the Imperial Dragon Mansion, benefactor should mainly watch out for these people."

"The Great Manager of the Guan Family, Guan Mingliang, at the First Layer of the Tongtian Realm!"

"Soong Family Patriarch, Soong Jianyue, Tang Family Patriarch Tang Fen Nian, Jitian Sect Master Zhuge You, Sky Sea Sect Master Zhang Tianhai."

Fang Shuangshi pointed out someone with each introduction, so Qin Chen would recognize them.

"Of course."

"And the hosts of tonight's banquet, the Seventh Mansion Master Hea Zhengyang and the Eighth Mansion Master Feng Xiao of the Jinglong Domain."

"Especially Hea Zhengyang, it's rumored he once slew three Tongtian Great Powers in succession, with unfathomable cultivation!"

Fang Shuangshi whispered.

"Additionally, I heard Jinglong Domain not only brought Hea Zhengyang and Feng Xiao but other mansion masters as well!"

"As for the Red Sun Divine Sect, their movements are mysterious, and it's unclear who they might send."

Fang Shuangshi added.

Qin Chen nodded.

Secretly memorizing these people.

But in his heart, he harbored no excessive dread.

To him, none of these people were a threat.

The night grew deeper.

The banquet reached its climax.

This was also the grandest, most prestigious gathering in Qiiulong City in years.

Qin Chen sat with Fang Qiu, Fang Shuangshi, and others.

There were also several Guest Elders from Heavenly Destiny Bank, one of whom exuded a powerful aura throughout, unmistakably a Tongtian Realm powerhouse.

According to Fang Shuangshi's introduction.

This person was Lin Tianwei.

A top-tier expert hired by Heavenly Destiny Bank at immense expense to safeguard the bank.

At this moment.

Hea Zhengyang, holding a wine cup, first approached Qin Chen's table.

Immediately, a servant filled the glasses of Qin Chen and the others with wine.

Hea Zhengyang beamed, "Apologies if the hospitality falls short tonight! Allow me to toast first!"

With that.

He drained the wine from his cup in one go.

Fang Qiu and the others wouldn't dare be careless, preparing to down their drinks at once, but Qin Chen suddenly stopped them, "Don't drink!"
