The grand banquet of the Lifelong Realm that was held once every hundred years was always the grandest event in the Lifelong Realm.
In Lifelong City, experts were as common as clouds. Experts from all the major and minor powers of the Lifelong Realm were all gathered here. This was another grand banquet that would only happen once every hundred years. There were even some powers who wanted to come and take a look at it.
It was rumored that during the previous grand banquet, Qin Wentian and Di Tian's names shook the entire Lifelong Realm. They rose to fame after a single battle, defeating all the immortal emperors of the nine world palaces and obtaining the recognition of the Realmlord. After that, the two of them joined forces in Lifire City and killed the Lifire Empyrean, replacing him. Qin Wentian became the Lifire Empyrean while Di Tian became the vice palace lord.
Right now, Qin Wentian and Di Tian have already broken through to the empyrean realm. There was naturally no need for them to contend against immortal emperors. They would send their subordinates to participate in the sparring between the nine world palaces. It was unknown who would become famous this time around.
At the grand banquet that was held once every hundred years, they would still have the chance to meet the famous characters of the nine world palaces. The legendary Lifelong Realmlord, as well as the empyrean of the Desolate Heaven Palace, the Lifire Empyrean and others. Many people were filled with anticipation. The peak powers of Lifelong City and the nine world palaces would also come to participate.
Lifelong City was bustling with activity, many people were filled with anticipation. However, they didn't realize that a storm was brewing in the darkness. Maybe, it would be a bolt of lightning but at the very least, it was still calm and tranquil. Only a minority of the core powers could feel the commotion.
For example, the Xuanyuan Clan, Jialan Clan and the other major powers. The Skyair Palace Lord and Gemini Palace Lord naturally knew about this as well.
Qin Wentian led the experts of the Lifire Palace and arrived in Lifelong City. The Lifelong Saint Hall naturally received the news. The Lifelong Realmlord coldly laughed in his heart. As expected, Qin Wentian still had no idea what was going on. In the end, he still took the initiative to send himself here. He simply doesn't know the immensity of death. Qin Wentian and Princess Kitamura were in cahoots with each other, actually scheming against him. This was simply a humiliation to him. He wanted to make Qin Wentian lose all face during the Lifelong Banquet.
Right now, Qin Wentian and his group were temporarily staying in the Jialan Clan. Their arrival caused many people to pay their respects because everyone still didn't know about his relationship with the Lifelong Realmlord. With regards to this new Lifire Empyrean, everyone felt that his future was boundless and they naturally wanted to maintain a good relationship with him. Naturally, there were also some people who received news that the Lifelong Saint Hall had already sent people to bring Ye Qianyu to the Lifelong Saint Hall a long time ago. This might seem like an insignificant matter but if one thought about Ye Qianyu's identity, it would be extremely strange.
Don't forget that back then, Ye Qianyu was once imprisoned in the Lifelong Saint Hall. Hence, some powers sensed an unusual aura and didn't pay a visit to Qin Wentian, the Lifire Empyrean, choosing to maintain some distance from him. If not, if the Realmlord was truly unhappy with Qin Wentian and learned that they were close to Qin Wentian, things would be extremely bad.
But at this moment, the Jialan Clan, who clearly already knew the truth, actually allowed Qin Wentian to stay in their clan. This was extremely meaningful.
As for Qin Wentian, he naturally understood the meaning behind this.
Right now, Jialan Jiangshan and the other core members of the Jialan Clan were together with Qin Wentian. Jialan Jiangshan had tried to seize the position of a palace lord twice but he failed both times. In truth, he felt extremely defeated in his heart. But when he saw Qin Wentian and Di Tian back then, he could only sigh in admiration. The new generation was replacing the old.
After receiving Jialan Yuntian's report, he understood that the Jialan Clan was about to welcome another opportunity. It's just that this opportunity might require them to place a huge bet. If they were careless, they might implicate the entire Jialan Clan.
"Palace Lord Qin, I'll get straight to the point. I've already forbidden outsiders from entering this place. Since Palace Lord Qin clearly knows that the Realmlord might target you this time around, are you prepared to fight against the Realmlord?" Jialan Jiangshan directly asked.
"You should know why I wanted the Lifire Empyrean to die back then, right? Now that the Realmlord has brought Ye Qianyu to the Lifelong Saint Hall, I have no choice but to come." Qin Wentian calmly spoke, his words causing Jialan Jiangshan to feel shock in his heart. That's right, this situation was very similar to the Lifire Empyrean back then. But back then, Qin Wentian's enemy was the Lifire Empyrean. This time around, his enemy was even stronger, they couldn't even be mentioned in the same breath.
Because, his opponent was the Lifelong Realmlord.
"Palace Lord Qin, do you have 50% confidence?" Jialan Jiangshan stared at Qin Wentian as he asked again.
"So what if I do? So what if I don't?" Qin Wentian replied.
"If Palace Lord Qin has a fifty percent chance of success, our Jialan Clan is willing to gamble our lives and follow Palace Lord Qin. But if we don't even have a fifty percent chance, our Jialan Clan will not participate in this. At that time, we will not participate in the Lifelong Banquet." Jialan Jiangshan spoke. If they participated in this, if the Realmlord gave the order, the entire Lifelong Realm would have to listen to him. Who would dare to defy him?
50% confidence was the bottom line of the Jialan Clan. If they could, they were willing to gamble once more.
"Isn't the Jialan Clan afraid that I will make use of you all again?" Qin Wentian spoke. This was equivalent to him admitting that he made use of the Jialan Clan back then. Naturally, everything was already in the past. The Jialan Clan also knew this in their hearts.
"This time around is different from the past. Back then, Palace Lord Qin already had a grudge with my Jialan Clan. Now that the Jialan Monarch has died, the grudge has already been resolved. Just like how Jialan Qiuyue has faith in Palace Lord Qin, I'm still willing to trust Palace Lord Qin once more." Jialan Jiangshan spoke.
"Even if I say I do, what can the Jialan Clan do for me? You guys have to understand that if I really have the strength to contend against the Realmlord, I don't lack the Jialan Clan." Qin Wentian's words were straightforward.
"Back then, since I dared to vie for the position of the Lifire Palace Lord, this proves that I have some connections in the Lifelong Saint Hall. In Lifelong City, I'm also familiar with many major powers and might be able to influence some of them. Naturally, the prerequisite is that you have enough strength to let others know that you can contend against the Lifelong Realmlord. In addition, you definitely don't know that the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord, the strongest of the nine world palaces in the Lifelong Realm, actually has an extremely bad relationship with the Realmlord."
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. There was actually such a thing?
"Since this is the case, would the Realmlord still allow him to exist?" Qin Wentian spoke. Based on his current understanding of the Lifelong Realmlord, the Realmlord was definitely not a magnanimous person.
"This matter involves a secret, the people in the outside world wouldn't know about it. Also, if news of this spreads out, it would be a scandal for the Realmlord." Jialan Jiangshan spoke. "There are rumors in the outside world saying that the Realmlord wants to accept the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord as a disciple. Palace Lord Qin, do you know about this?"
"I've heard of it before." Qin Wentian nodded.
Once, when the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord was working under the Realmlord, he got to know a maiden with extraordinary beauty and talent named Fairy Biyue. It's rumored that the maiden's beauty could even cause the moon to blush. The two of them admired each other but the Lifelong Realmlord suddenly interfered, snatching Fairy Biyue away, taking her into the harem of the Lifelong Sainthall and even gave birth to a son for him. He knew that the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord hated him out of jealousy and wanted to accept Fairy Biyue as a disciple. In such a situation, how could the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord agree? It was precisely because he didn't agree that the Realmlord wanted to eliminate him. However, Fairy Biyue and the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord truly had feelings for each other. What was the reason for her to compromise? She naturally wouldn't allow the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord to be harmed. "
Jialan Jiangshan slowly spoke. "The gist of the matter is as such but I'm not too clear about the details. In any case, although the Desolate Heaven Palace is the number one palace, the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord is very low-profile and rarely makes a move. His position is unshakable but once he has the strength to threaten the Lifelong Realmlord, the Lifelong Realmlord would definitely not spare him. However, I guess given the character of the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord, he would definitely take revenge.
It's just that he doesn't have the strength to do so and has been enduring silently. "Qin Wentian felt even more rage in his heart when he heard this. This matter was very similar to the conditions the Lifelong Realmlord set for Princess Kitamura. He didn't expect that the Lifelong Realmlord actually had such a record. He was simply despicable to the extreme, using his status as the Lifelong Realmlord to do whatever he wanted, treating the world as his own, even seizing the women of his subordinates.
"What do you mean by saying all this?" Qin Wentian asked.
"I can try to persuade the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord. If you can truly display the strength to contend against the Lifelong Realmlord, he would definitely respond to you and cause a huge commotion during the Lifelong Banquet. Even the subordinates of the Lifelong Realmlord wouldn't dare to act recklessly. At that time, the pressure on you would be greatly reduced." Jialan Jiangshan spoke. Qin Wentian nodded his head, this was logical. Naturally, the prerequisite was that he had to have the strength to contend against the Lifelong Overlord and he would have to display it during the Lifelong Banquet.
At this moment, a person suddenly walked in from outside. Jialan Jiangshan frowned, "Didn't I say that no one is to disturb me?"
That person bowed, "The people from the Xuanyuan Clan said that they are here to pay a visit with the Xuanyuan Palace Lord, saying that they have something important to report. That's why I …"
"The Xuanyuan Clan? What are they doing here?" Jialan Jiangshan asked with some bewilderment.
"They are here to look for me." Qin Wentian smiled. Seems like the communication between Di Tian and the Xuanyuan Clan was quite effective. It wasn't appropriate for the Xuanyuan Palace Lord to appear personally, hence, he brought someone here to pass a message. He wondered what the message was.
Jialan Jiangshan's eyes flashed as he cast a deep glance at Qin Wentian. Seems like Qin Wentian was also plotting something in the dark.
"Let's meet them then." Jialan Jiangshan stood up. Everyone walked towards the front of the king and soon after, they saw Xuanyuan Hao. Back then when Di Tian came here for the first time, the person he saw was none other than Xuanyuan Hao representing the Xuanyuan Clan to form a marriage alliance with the Jialan Clan.
"Palace Lord Qin." Xuanyuan Hao clasped his hands.
"After we parted ways in Ancient Azure Mystic, I wonder if the Xuanyuan Palace Lord has any message for me?" Qin Wentian smiled as he asked.
"The Palace Lord wants me to pass a message that he will treat the Lifelong Banquet seriously." Xuanyuan Hao spoke. Qin Wentian's eyes flashed, treating it seriously. What did these words mean exactly?
"Just a single message?" Qin Wentian asked.
"The Palace Lord only wants me to pass this message." Xuanyuan Hao bitterly smiled. In truth, he also had no idea what was going on.
"I understand." Qin Wentian calmly replied. Seems like the Xuanyuan Palace Lord was telling him that he would observe the situation and wouldn't directly target him. Although he didn't promise anything, this was also a form of goodwill. The Xuanyuan Palace Lord didn't want to offend him.
Jialan Jiangshan's eyes flashed. Seems like the undercurrents were surging. This time around, something major was going to happen in the Lifelong Banquet!
