Chapter 352 The Older Generation Who Came Back from the Dead
Inside the clubhouse.
A certain room.
There were nine figures inside.
"Gu Yi, you old bastard, I knew you weren't dead."
"Song Qinian, you're not dead, so how could I be?"
"What a surprise! I never thought I'd see you old friends again after all these years," said a woman dressed as an old lady. Her hair was snow-white, but she looked to be only in her thirties.
An old man said, "Ah Hong is right. You insidious fellows, hiding for so many years, have you finally decided to come out?"
"Xu Feng, let's not mince words. We're all old foxes, why are we playing these ghost stories?"
"Gu Yi is right. We've all been stuck at the peak of the eighth realm for at least ten years, and sometimes twenty or thirty years, unable to advance any further. Now that there's finally a possibility of advancing, we should at least join in the fun."
The old woman, Sister Hong, said, "The way you're talking makes it sound like you're up to no good. I'm not like you; I've come to visit Dongfang Baichen."
"Hahaha..." A powerful figure laughed loudly, "Sister Hong, let's not beat around the bush. You can fool us, but don't fool yourself too."
"Ask everyone here, who would believe that?"
Someone chimed in, "That's right, we all want to know how to cultivate a divine soul, but Dongfang Baichen isn't going to share that with you for free."
"That's not necessarily true," Sister Hong said with a light laugh.
"Um, Sister Hong, what do you mean?"
"The literal meaning," Sister Hong said.
"I know what you're thinking. You just want to take advantage of the chaos when the Tianlang Empire and the Xuanwu Kingdom are causing trouble."
"Ideally, let them fight it out, then you can step in, do them a favor, and make Dongfang Baichen owe you one."
Everyone fell silent.
Indeed, some people think that the people here are unlikely to do anything to betray the Great Xia; they are more likely to have anticipated the possible scenarios and come spontaneously.
of course,
They must also want to find out why Dongfang Baichen has cultivated a divine soul.
However, compared to this...
The people of the Tianlang Empire were even more worried. As far as they knew, the Tianlang Empire's Grand General had secretly infiltrated the capital city this time, which was definitely not a good thing.
Gu Yi said, "Sister Hong, please speak frankly."
Sister Hong chuckled softly and said:
"This time, a total of 36 people from all over the Great Xia came to Kyoto Prefecture, and 90% of them are experts at the peak of the eighth realm."
"The Suzaku Empire ranks 5th."
"The Sirius Empire ranks 30th."
"Xuanwu Kingdom ranks 20th."
"The Vermilion Bird Empire brought a treasure that can heal the soul, so it must be on the side of the Great Xia, or at the very least, it's here to negotiate. The Grand General of the Tianlang Empire secretly infiltrated the capital city, so he must have ill intentions."
"It's hard to say whether Xuanwu Kingdom is friend or foe at the moment, but it's said that Sakura Prefecture has many powerful figures, so it's most likely still an enemy."
Everyone was shocked. By such a rough calculation, nearly a hundred experts at the peak of the eighth realm had gathered in Kyoto Prefecture, focusing their attention on the Dongfang family.
"wrong."
"Sister Hong, how do you know so much?"
"Also, Great Xia has 36 people, but we only have 9. Where are the others? Weren't they invited?"
Sister Hong said, "Apart from you, they are not among those invited."
"Sister Hong, what exactly do you mean?" Gu Yi asked. "Why did you invite us?"
"Actually, I didn't invite you. I was just asked to do it."
"Who?"
Everyone suddenly felt that coming here tonight might have been a mistake, but when they thought about their own strength, they felt relieved. Now that Dongfang Baichen was injured in Kyoto Prefecture, no one could pose a threat to them.
While everyone was pondering this.
A sudden sound rang out.
"Junior Qin Weixiao greets all seniors."
A tall, upright figure appeared in the room, just like that.
This scene.
This startled all the powerful figures, followed by shock.
The door was never opened.
In other words, the young man was already in the room. What's astonishing is that none of them noticed. Keep in mind that among them were many spiritual cultivators at the peak of the eighth realm, with powerful perception, yet they still didn't detect him.
For some reason, a chill ran through everyone as they looked at the young man's smiling face.
"Who are you?"
"Why not show your true self?"
Xiao Weiqing said, "Esteemed seniors, this junior..."
At this time.
Song Qinian's figure flashed, and he suddenly attacked, "Seventh Realm strength, yet you dare to play tricks?!"
"Have mercy!" Sister Hong said quickly.
"Pfft~~"
The sound of a blade cutting through skin was very faint, but all those present were powerful individuals, and they still heard it.
then.
Song Qinian swallowed hard.
"Qin... smile, right... let's talk this out."
at this time.
Song Qinian maintained his palm strike motion, but his hand did not touch Xiao Weiqing. However, a knife was already held against Song Qinian's neck, the blade slightly red.
Xiao Weiqing slowly pressed down Song Qinian's hand and withdrew the knife that was held against Song Qinian's neck.
"Senior Song, please forgive me."
Amidst the stunned gazes of the assembled experts, Xiao Weiqing smiled and said:
"May I continue?"
His smiling gaze swept over everyone, and no one objected.
"Senior Song, please have a seat."
Song Qinian touched his neck, suppressing his anger—no, there was no anger, nor could he muster any; only fear remained.
Xiao Weiqing nodded to everyone and continued:
"I asked Grandma Ye to invite everyone here."
"Grandma Ye?"
Everyone was puzzled, wondering why Grandma Ye had appeared again.
Sister Hong said irritably, "You bunch of senile old people, my real name is Ye Yinhong."
Everyone suddenly realized that they had known Ye Yinhong for decades and had always called her Sister Hong, to the point that they had forgotten her real name and couldn't remember it for a moment.
"wrong."
"You call Sister Hong 'Grandma'?"
"How old are you?"
Qin smiled and said, "We can talk about that later."
"Grandma Tuoye invited all of you seniors here today because she has important matters to discuss."
"What is it? Just say it straight, don't beat around the bush. Although we don't know how you subdued Old Ghost Song in one move, don't try to lead us by the nose."
The powerful figures quickly recovered from their shock. Even if Xiao Weiqing was strong, they were not ordinary people. Since Sister Hong was willing to help this young man gather them, she must have something to ask of him.
They didn't trust Xiao Weiqing, but rather Ye Yinhong.
"Did Dongfang Baichen send you?"
Song Qinian guessed.
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts stirred, and they realized that this was the only option.
"Are you from the Dongfang family?"
"But I've never heard of the Dongfang family having your strength."
Xiao Weiqing denied it, saying, "Seniors, what I said is indeed related to Senior Dongfang, but not entirely. This matter is related to me personally, and also to the Great Xia."
"I need a promise to explain the specific reasons. If I do, I will need your help."
Song Qinian said, "You tell me first."
The crowd agreed, "That's right, we can't just say whatever you want."
