Elder Cheng was a secluded person, so he naturally looked down on those ancient cultivation clans.
The Long clan was an ancient clan. Although it wasn't a true cultivation clan, it was rumored that they had the backing of the Heavenly Court.
Cheng Dong, who was in charge of the Cheng clan's affairs, naturally couldn't attend the banquet as he pleased. But this time, Cheng Dong had no choice but to agree. "Elder, this is an order from the Immortal Realm … All the ancient cultivation clans in China must participate. No one will be spared …"
"Immortal Realm?"
Elder Cheng's eyes flashed as he stared at Cheng Dong. "Really?"
"Really!"
"Unbelievable! The Immortal Realm has descended?"
Elder Cheng was shocked. Even the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Court had descended. What was going on with Earth? It was just a mortal planet. Why would the Immortal Realm and the Immortal Realm pay so much attention to it?
"Elder Cheng, we can only know if the Immortal Realm's experts have descended. Since the Long Corporation has sent out an invitation, why don't we go and check it out?"
As expected, Feng Hao knew that the Cheng clan must have received an invitation from the Long Corporation. He chuckled. "Just as well. I also want to know what the Long Corporation is planning …"
"Senior Feng isn't on the invitation list?" Elder Cheng still addressed Feng Hao as senior.
It probably wouldn't change in a short time.
This was how the cultivation world was. There was no such thing as age. The strong were the seniors.
"I'm just an itinerant cultivator. To be honest, I came to the Cheng clan this time because I want to use the Cheng clan's identity to participate in the Immortal Welcoming Ceremony."
Feng Hao looked at Elder Cheng and went straight to the point.
The Cheng clan members looked at each other and naturally accepted this suggestion. If someone as strong as Feng Hao really was a member of the Cheng clan, how lucky would he be?
Even if he was only temporarily borrowing the Cheng clan's identity, if he participated in the Immortal Welcoming Ceremony and showed off his skills in front of the core members of the ancient cultivation clans, wouldn't it shock everyone?
Could he help the Cheng clan gain the reputation of being the number one cultivation clan?
Cheng Dong was a little tempted. All of China's ancient cultivation clans were participating, so there was bound to be a competition to determine who was superior. Their Cheng Clan wasn't good at killing enemies, but they were rather good at saving people.
Elder Cheng immediately made the decision and said, "Alright, this Elder will head to Shi City with Cheng Dong, Cheng Cheng, and Senior Feng. Does anyone have any objections?"
"No problem!"
How could the Cheng family have any objections? Since the clan elder had spoken, even if they jumped into the latrine pit, they couldn't refuse.
As a result, Feng Hao participated in the Immortal Welcoming Assembly as a core disciple of the Cheng family. At the same time, he also gained a new identity: Cheng Hao.
"Fenghao, from now on, do I have to call you Cheng Hao?"
Cheng Cheng said with a faint smile. Her eyes squinted into the shape of a crescent moon, looking extremely adorable.
Feng Hao chuckled and said, "In private, you should call me Feng Hao. Cheng Hao … is just my current identity."
Cheng Cheng readily agreed, her pretty face blushing.
…
After a short break, Elder Cheng, Cheng Dong, and Cheng Cheng changed into the clothes of the secular world, looking like three generations of grandfather and grandson.
The scene was a little awkward, but they were all cultivators after all, so they quickly adapted to it.
Thus, Feng Hao and Little Ball left the ancient Cheng family estate with Elder Cheng, Cheng Cheng, and Cheng Dong, appearing on the ancient path of Mount Hua.
At the foot of the mountain, a Cheng family luxury car was parked. The driver was a member of the Cheng family, and he directly sent everyone to the nearest airport.
Now that Feng Hao was temporarily a member of the Cheng family, there was no need to shock the world by flying to Shi City with Little Ball.
Along the way, Little Ball was as quiet as an obedient pet, resting with its eyes closed. Elder Cheng and the others didn't know Little Ball's identity and thought it was just a rare breed of cat or dog.
Pets were supposed to be checked in at the airport, but whether it was because the airport security personnel were blind or because of the new rules, Little Ball boarded the plane without a hitch.
In fact … apart from the three Cheng family members, no one on the plane could see Little Ball's existence.
At first, the three Cheng family members hadn't thought of this. After all, they had stayed in the barrier deep in the mountains for too long and had forgotten the rules of the secular world.
Until … they saw the impurities on the plane, which stated that dogs and pets were prohibited from being brought into the cabin.
But when they saw Little Ball lying on Feng Hao's shoulder, their expressions changed slightly. They immediately knew that Little Ball wasn't an ordinary little beast.
…
Two hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Shanghai Pudong Airport. At the exit of the airport, there was a member of the Long Corporation waiting to receive them.
He held up the symbol that was recognized by the Ancient Cultivation Clan. Thus, Elder Cheng led Fenghao and the others over.
"The Long Corporation?" Elder Cheng asked.
The member of the Long Corporation looked at Elder Cheng and Feng Hao and the others behind him, then nodded and said, "May I know which clan you are from?"
"The Cheng family of Huashan!"
"So it's Elder Cheng. Apologies for not going out to meet you. My name is Long Kui. From now on, I will be in charge of your daily life in Shanghai. Please follow me …"
Long Kui handed the token in his hand to another young man in a suit. He led Feng Hao and the others into a Maserati with the Poseidon's Trident emblem and headed to the hotel they were staying at.
"From today onwards, ancient cultivators will be arriving one after another. The Long Corporation has sent out more than a hundred people to receive them. To avoid unnecessary trouble, all the ancient cultivators are staying at separate hotels …"
Long Kui explained some things to Feng Hao, Elder Cheng, and the others. For example, they should try their best not to get into trouble with ordinary people and reduce the time they spent outside.
Elder Cheng didn't say a word. He had the urge to go berserk countless times. As a dignified elder of a clan, he was actually being nagged by secular people in front of him, telling him that he couldn't do this and that …
"You don't need to introduce us. Just bring us to the hotel. When the welcoming ceremony opens, we will find the place …"
Feng Hao indifferently looked at Long Kui.
"Hehe, I believe all of you already know that although this meeting was initiated by the Cultivation Alliance and my Long Corporation, it was actually the powerful cultivators of the Celestial Realm who gave the order. Seniors, please don't think I'm too long-winded. For everyone's sake …"
Long Kui was still nagging. Elder Cheng, who was on the verge of exploding, couldn't hold it in anymore. He directly punched Long Kui out of the luxury car. As the car went out of control, Feng Hao directly took the steering wheel.
He drove the car directly to their destination.
As for Long Kui, this wasn't something he cared about.
"Elder, that guy is most likely crippled …" Cheng Dong had a hint of worry between his brows.
There was a hint of worry between Cheng Dong's brows. After all, they had almost beaten the people from the Long Corporation who had received them to death. This was somewhat inexcusable.
Elder Cheng sighed and said, "Cheng Dong, you still aren't qualified to take on the responsibility of the clan head … We cultivators cultivate to be free. This person isn't a cultivator, but he dares to order us around. Not taking his life is already giving face to the Long Corporation …"
