Chapter 1469: Betrayal
After a celebratory banquet
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the elders sat at the front of the banquet. As for Yao Zhong and Qin Yichen, they slowly walked up to the high platform.
"Today is my son-in-law's celebration banquet. Yaoxun would like to thank everyone for coming!"
In front of the high platform, Yaoxun also had a smile on his face as he spoke to the numerous guests in the courtyard.
Following Yao Xun's words, a series of congratulatory voices sounded from the surroundings.
A moment later, Yao Xun's eyes also looked at Yao Zhong. Only then did the latter nod his head. After which, both of his hands pressed down on the empty space. The noise in the entire stadium also quietly quietened down.
"Everyone, to be able to attend today's celebration banquet is to give me and Qin boy face. We don't have any requests for you, so feel free to eat and drink!"
Drug Weight waved his hand and laughed.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily flashed with surprise when they heard Yao Zhong's words.
Originally, they thought that since Yao Zhong had mustered so many people to hold this celebration banquet, it would definitely not be so simple.
His clan had already suffered a huge crisis. Even though he was a pill fanatic, he understood that if he wanted to stabilize his position as one of the Ten Great Clans, he had to develop his own business.
Just relying on the yearly offerings from the elders was not enough to nurture outstanding disciples.
And if he wanted to develop, he couldn't do without the support of others.
However, many people were happy to curry favor with an elder. Therefore, there were many people who wanted to enter this celebration banquet.
However, judging from the Drug Weight's words, it didn't seem like they were trying to rope in any forces.
Could it be that he was still that pill maniac?
Qin Yichen was able to save their family once, but who would dare to say that there would be a second monster like him in the future?
"Didn't you say that Elder Yao Ji promised Mr. Qin that he would give him a quarter of the properties in the inner city?"
"Hiss … A quarter, that's an incredible amount of wealth!"
"No wonder Elder Drug Weight doesn't even have the slightest intention of recruiting talents. It seems like he has already thought of a way to strengthen his family."
"Of course! Elder Yao Ji's clan has been passed down for almost ten thousand years. Even if it's only a quarter of the businesses in the inner city, it's still sufficient to support one of the ten great clans."
As soon as the Drug Weight Elder finished speaking, whispers began to ring out from the crowd.
Drug Weight looked up at the sky, then waved his hand and said with a bright smile, "Everyone has waited for so long, I won't say anything more. Let the celebration party begin!"
Following the Drug Weight's words, the entire mansion was in an uproar.
Under everyone's fervent gazes, Drug Weight and Qin Yichen looked at each other and walked down to the banquet.
Even though Qin Yichen did not like such occasions, he and Drug Weight had no choice but to entertain so many guests.
"Swoosh!"
Just as the two of them were walking down, a sharp sound of rushing wind suddenly cut across the courtyard. A cold glint as fast as lightning cut through the air and violently pierced towards Qin Yichen.
"Swoosh!"
Just as the cold glint entered the range of the tall platform, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Qin Yichen.
"Clang!"
The moment the figure appeared, he waved his sleeves and a terrifying force surged out and directly smashed against the cold glint. Following a clear sound, the cold glint spun in the air and heavily smashed against the ground where the sword shadow was.
Everyone's gaze swept over and realized that it was a thin sword. Even though it was blocked, the ferocious force caused it to sink into the hard ground, leaving only the sword hilt exposed.
"Who?!"
Upon seeing this scene, Drug Weight's expression darkened as he coldly shouted.
A couple of powerful hidden auras spread from behind the tall platform. They appeared as though they were facing a great enemy.
The expressions of the guests in the courtyard changed. Their eyes looked in the direction where the cold glint had shot out from. There was a grave expression in their eyes.
Those who dared to create trouble at this celebration banquet were definitely not ordinary people.
"Ke ke, it is so lively. Why is it that no one has sent an invitation to our mansion? Don't tell me that I, Yao Ji, am not qualified? "
Yao Ji's figure slowly walked in from outside in front of the many gazes. Yao Wen and a couple of Saint level experts followed close behind.
"Elder Yao Ji?"
The expressions of quite a number of people changed when they saw this figure.
During this period of time, there had been quite a number of conflicts between Elder Yao Ji's clan and Qin Yichen. Moreover, they had repeatedly fallen into the latter's hands. It was even rumored that they had even handed over a quarter of their businesses in the inner city two days ago under the pressure of the Medicinal Pine Elder!
Looking at the appearance of Yao Ji and the couple of high level Saint level experts behind him, it was likely that he had not come with good intentions.
"Could it be that Elder Yao Ji has found his conscience and intends to give the other businesses in the Pill City to us?"
Drug Weight's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Yao Ji. A cold laughter sounded.
Many guests felt a smile rise in their hearts when they heard his mocking words. However, no one dared to laugh out loud under such circumstances.
Although Yao Ji had repeatedly fallen into the hands of Qin Yichen, the latter was after all one of the ten great Elders of the Yao clan. He was not someone that anyone could offend.
Yao Ji's expression became a little gloomy after Drug Weight's words sounded. Clearly, the latter had hit a sore spot.
"Yao Ji, they did not invite you. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to force your way in?"
At this moment, Medicinal Pine, who was seated in the leader's seat, also slowly stood up. His voice was a little displeased as he cried out.
During this period of time, he had wanted to catch Yao Ji giving himself away. With the attack earlier, he could report this matter to Yao Tianxin and strip him of his position as an Elder!
Fighting was absolutely prohibited in the Pill City. Even Yao Ji, who was one of the Elders, did not have such a privilege.
The expressions of many guests turned serious when they heard Drug Weight's words. It could be seen that Medicinal Pine was completely on Qin Yichen's side.
Moreover, that cold light just now was a bit too much. If it wasn't for the protection of the strong cultivators in the dark, not to mention Qin Yichen, even a Saint level alchemist would lose his life because of this if he was careless.
Elder Yao Ji's actions had already caused many people to feel a wave of anger.
"Inappropriate?"
Under the many gazes, the surprising thing was that Yao Ji did not panic because of this. Instead, a mocking expression surged on his face.
"In my opinion, it is Elder Medicinal Pine, Elder Drug Weight, and everyone seated here who are inappropriate!"
After which, Yao Ji's stern cry suddenly sounded following a cold laugh.
Everyone frowned slightly when they heard his deranged words. The expressions of those Elders who had come to attend the banquet became a little displeased.
