Chapter 478: A Visitor from the Qi Family

readx;

Lu Yifan originally planned to retreat in the mountains for three months, but he took people away for more than five months and still had no news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And in the past five months, the Soul Sect has also been quite calm, with Yulou and Liu Sandao in charge of the Soul Sect, and the sect is peaceful. It is worth mentioning that not long ago, there was a new city lord in the West Imperial City, it is said that it was the old department of Han Xiao in the past, and this new city lord knew how to be a man than the previous Pang He, and he didn't even enter the Hou Mansion on the first day of his appointment, but first took a family to Xihuang Mountain to visit Lu Yifan. And under his leadership, the new city lords of the Fourteen Cities in the Southwest also followed suit, who still doesn't know that the Lord of the Southwest is Lu Yifan? If nothing else, just his father-in-law Han Xiao and his relationship with the Emperor are enough to scare off many people who are trying to find trouble.

And more importantly, Lu Yifan once almost slaughtered the Fourteen Cities in the Southwest in a fit of rage, and this alone was enough to make him famous. As the so-called shadow of the famous tree of people, the fourteen newcomers to the southwest naturally did not dare to offend rashly.

Now the pattern in the Holy Domain is quite peculiar, everyone knows that Xuanzong is the leader of many sects in the Holy Domain, and Dongfang Su is the real master in charge of all the sects in the Holy Domain. But now in the Holy Domain, there is such a sect that does not give Xuanzong this face, and there is even one person who has even made clear his determination not to give up with Dongfang. Needless to say anything else, the spirit of Shan Chong Lu Yifan and the Soul Sect is not comparable to ordinary people.

But Xuanzong knew that the Soul Sect was restless, but he didn't attack him for a long time, and many people speculated that it was because Dongfang Su was afraid of moving his whole body, and now making a move to Lu Yifan would completely intensify the contradiction between him and the emperor, so he was restrained.

Of course, these are just the conjectures of the Star Dou citizens, in fact, the reason why Dongfang Su and Xuanzong chose to blindly endure and let the Soul Sect become bigger and bigger is not because they are benevolent or afraid of the Soul Sect, but because Dongfang Su and Xuanzong now have a more important matter to face. And that incident was enough to involve all of Dongfang Su's energy, so that he couldn't tolerate any more snacks at all.

In this way, after the Soul Sect spent five months in peace, Xihuang Mountain finally changed its previous calm and came to an extremely special guest......

"Report!"

Early in the morning, there was a sudden rush of news outside the main hall of the Soul Sect, and then I saw a disciple of the Soul Sect running into the main hall, bowing respectfully to the jade building in the hall and saying, "Prince of the Jade Building, there are guests visiting outside the mountain gate!"

At this moment, Yulou was sitting in the hall with Mu Dan talking and laughing, when he heard the report of the disciple of the Soul Sect, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and then he and Mu Dan glanced at each other, and there was an incomprehensible strange look in his eyes.

"Who's coming?" Yulou slowly put down the teacup in his hand and asked softly.

"The person who came said that he was Qi Shan of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce, and he also said that he was an old friend with the sect master!" The disciple of the Soul Sect replied unhurriedly while recalling the identity of the person outside the mountain gate, "He said that he had something important to discuss with the sect master, so he specially told me to come and report to him."

!”

"Didn't you tell him that the sect master is in retreat now, and no one is there?" At this moment, Liu Sandao had already stepped into the hall, only to see him stuffing the pastries in the breakfast into his mouth, while waving his hand vaguely and saying, "Let him go!"

"Back to Liu Ye's words, I said it, but that Qi Shan said that if I blew him away, it would delay our sect master's major affairs, and the disciple couldn't afford it, so he ......."

"Big deal?" Yu Lou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this, and then after he glanced at Liu Sandao, he slowly spoke, "Please come in and talk!"

"Yes!" the Soul Sect disciple happily agreed, and then trotted all the way to the outside of the mountain gate to report the news.

After a while, I saw Qi Shan, who was full of smiles, slowly walking into the hall with four or five big men, and as soon as he saw the Yulou and Liu Sandao and Mu Dan in the hall, he took the initiative to smile and greeted him, showing a very familiar appearance very consciously.

"Brother Liu, Yulou Gongzi, Princess Mudan, it is really an honor for Qi to meet the three of you here today!" Qi Shan seems to have long been accustomed to this kind of scene, although he had secretly helped Yan Zheng to rebel before, and he was also an opponent with Lu Yifan, but at this moment he was neither humble nor arrogant, as if the previous things had nothing to do with him, Rao is Liu Sandao looked at him with bad intentions, but Qi Shan still smiled as if he ignored it.

"Qi Mountain?" Liu Sandao jokingly sarcastically said before the opening of the Jade Tower, "Your Qi Family Chamber of Commerce has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but now you are not looking for a place to hide from the emperor to track down Yan Zheng's rebellious comrades, how can you have the time to run to our Xihuang Mountain? Oh! I know, Yan Zheng is dead, and the emperor can't find ironclad evidence of your secret collusion with Yan Zheng, just as the so-called dead man is the most reliable, and his death is cheaper for you!"

As soon as Liu Sandao's words came out, a shrewd look flashed in Qi Shan's eyes, obviously he had heard Liu Sandao's dissatisfaction with the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce's secret collusion with Yan Zheng, and he smiled at the moment, and then explained: "Brother Liu said that it was funny, our Qi Family Chamber of Commerce has always been a serious businessman, and we will never do anything unrelated to business." If there really is anyone who has evidence to prove that we participated in the rebellion of the King of the Holy West, then how can the many businesses of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce be able to do business in peace and stability now? Everything is just gossip among the market, and the idle people are just chasing after the wind and shadows, how can Brother Liu take it seriously?" Others may not know, but Princess Mu Dan should know very well that the business of our Qi Family Chamber of Commerce is all over the Five Regions, not limited to the Holy Domain, so the friends of the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce are also all over the world, and there are some non-existent things, even if the Holy Domain Emperor wants to frame us, I am afraid that we will have to weigh more!"

"It is said that there is no treacherous business, the bigger the business wants to be, the thicker the skin will be, I didn't believe it before, until I saw you today, Lao Tzu believed it!" Liu Sandao said and kicked up a chair next to him high, and the rather heavy chair turned seven or eight times in mid-air before it landed steadily in front of Qi Shan with a "bang", "The person who comes is a guest, and the province says that our Soul Sect doesn't understand etiquette!" Mr. Qi, please take a seat!"

Looking at the chair in front of him, Qi Shan's eyelids couldn't help but jump slightly, and then he silently arched his hand at Liu Sandao, and then no longer hesitated to sit down directly. "I don't know if Sect Master Lu can get out of the customs?" Qi Shan inquired about Lu Yifan's whereabouts as soon as he sat down.

"Not yet, if Mr. Qi has anything to say, you might as well tell us!" Yulou replied with a faint smile, "After the sect master leaves the customs, we will tell us the truth!"

"This matter is very important, I'm afraid that the Soul Sect will not be able to make a decision if it is not the Lu Sect Master!" Qi Shan muttered hesitantly.

"What's at stake?" Mu Dan asked curiously, "Dare to ask what is it that makes you so embarrassed Mr. Qi?"

"Have you ever heard of the Five Domains Spirit Banquet?" Qi Shan raised his head suddenly and looked straight at Liu Sandao and the others, and Liu Sandao couldn't help frowning after hearing these words, and then looked at Yulou and Mu Dan with a blank face, but at this moment, a thick look of surprise appeared on the faces of those two, it was obvious that the two of them must know what Qi Shan said about the 'Five Domains Spirit Banquet'

"Brother Liu, to put it simply, the Five Domains Spirit Banquet is a gathering held every ten years by the major sects in the Five Domains!" Yu Lou explained in as simple and direct a way as possible, "And all the sects that are qualified to participate in the Five Domains Spirit Banquet are definitely well-known in the Five Domains, so almost all the sects in the Five Domains have the goal of being able to participate in a Five Domains Spirit Banquet, and whether or not they are qualified to participate in the Five Domains Spirit Banquet has become a symbol of the status of a sect in the Five Domains!"

"That's right! All the sects that are qualified to participate in the spirit banquet are all full of masters, and among them, there are some peak powerhouses who are famous in the Five Domains and ruthless characters who are famous all over the world!" Mu Dan nodded and explained.

"What status symbol? What Five Domains Spirit Banquet? Why haven't I heard of it before?" Liu Sandao looked at the two Yulou in confusion.

Hearing this, Qi Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then asked, "Not only Brother Liu hasn't heard of it, but how many people in the entire holy domain have heard of it?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"It means that although the Five Domains Spirit Banquet is called the sect that gathers among the Five Domains, in fact, there are only a handful of people who are qualified to participate in the Spirit Banquet in the huge Sacred Domain throughout the ages! Especially in the past few hundred years, the Holy Domain Sect doesn't know how many Spirit Banquets have been absent!" Mu Dan explained with a smile, "I heard that in the last few times, only the Xuanzong in charge of the Dongfang Su in the Holy Domain is qualified to participate in the Spirit Banquet, and as for the other sects in the Holy Domain, maybe there are not even a few people who know about the existence of the Spirit Banquet!"

"What is so different about the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, how about participating, and what if you don't?" Liu Sandao looked at Yulou with puzzled eyes, "And who has the final say on whether or not you can participate in this Five Domains Spirit Banquet?"

"Every Five Domains Spirit Banquet is actually an excellent opportunity for all the sects in the world to get acquainted! The so-called stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, especially for the sects, in fact, there is no absolute strong, there are new sects in the Five Domains almost every day, and there will also be sects destroyed, so the only way to survive is to unite the strong and support each other in order to endure!" Yulou patiently explained, " And more importantly, there will be countless heavenly and earthly treasures emerging at every Five Domains Spirit Banquet, and there are countless rare exercise artifacts, these things are undoubtedly the most tempting existence for the major sects, and all the sects that participate in the Five Domains Spirit Banquet will basically not return empty-handed, but how much you can get in the end depends on each sect's own ability! As for the qualifications to participate in the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, it is decided by the Five Domains Alliance!"

"Five Domains...... What is this?" Liu Sandao's brows tightened, but the curiosity in his eyes became more and more intense.

"The Five Domains Alliance is an organization composed of the ten most powerful sects in the Five Domains, and it is said that the Five Domains Alliance is actually only ten people!, but each of them is the master of a sect, and the forces behind each of them must not be underestimated!" Yu Lou explained as he sorted out his thoughts, Each year's spiritual banquet will only invite one hundred sects from the Five Domains to participate, and these hundred sects will naturally be considered to be the top 100 sects in the Five Domains, as for who has the seats within the Hundred Great Sects, it depends on the meaning of the Five Domains Alliance!

"This ......" Yulou's explanation made Liu Sandao not know how to answer for a while, just blinking his eyes constantly as if he was quickly digesting Yulou's words, "Every time, there are a hundred sects participating, but when it is the turn of the Holy Domain, only one Xuanzong has such qualifications......? Too ......" Liu Sandao said several words of 'Tai' in a row, but he never came up with any suitable words to express his meaning.

"It has long been known that the Sacred Domain is the weakest among the Five Domains, Brother Liu doesn't have to be so strange!" Qi Shan explained with a smile

"That's right!" Hearing Qi Shan open his mouth, Liu Sandao suddenly reacted, so he asked with a puzzled expression, "What kind of spiritual banquet and what kind of Five Domains Alliance did you just say for a long time, it's all a matter between sects, what does it have to do with your Qi Family Chamber of Commerce?"

"Brother Liu thinks that where did those heavenly treasures and martial arts artifacts come from at the spirit banquet held every ten years?" Qi Shan did not directly answer Liu Sandao's words, but asked with a smile, and then before Liu Sandao, who was stunned, could react, Qi Shan nodded with a smile and admitted the speculation in Liu Sandao's heart, "Yes, most of these treasures are hard to find from all over the Five Regions by our Qi Family Chamber of Commerce!" The major sects have always only entered but not been able to enter, is it possible that Brother Liu still thinks that these treasures are contributed by them on their own initiative? If that is the case, except for the big sects in the Five Domains Alliance, I am afraid that no one in the world is willing to participate in ......the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, right?

"No wonder the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce's family business is so huge and has such a solid foundation! I have never been able to understand why a mere Chamber of Commerce can come and go freely in such a sinister Five Domains, and it has been safe and sound for hundreds of years, but now listening to your words, Lu Mou can be regarded as having an epiphany!"

Just when Qi Shan's words shocked Liu Sandao, a hearty laugh suddenly sounded in the hall, and then before Qi Shan turned around to find who spoke, a vague figure quietly appeared between Liu Sandao and Yulou, and then the figure gradually became clear, and Lu Yifan, who was smiling, finally appeared in front of Qi Shan.

"Yifan, are you out of the customs?" Liu Sandao was immediately overjoyed when he saw Lu Yifan. And Yulou and Mu Dan also showed excitement.

"En!" Lu Yifan nodded lightly at Liu Sandao and the three of them, and then focused his gaze on Qi Shan again, and asked with a light smile, "While all the elders and Dharma protectors of the Soul Sect are here today, Mr. Qi might as well just say anything he wants!"

"Both...... Are they all there?"

"Whoosh!"

Before Qi Shan understood Lu Yifan's words, he only heard a few sounds of breaking the sky suddenly outside the hall, and then saw a series of figures quickly swept into the hall like ghosts, and in the blink of an eye, Ji Yuan, Xie Yun, Lan Chen and others were already standing around Qi Shan, and the sudden change frightened several guards who followed Qi Shan subconsciously pulled out their waist knives, if it weren't for Qi Shan's timely stopping, I was afraid that these guards would do something irreparably stupid.

"Soul ...... Soul King?" Mu Dan looked at the people who appeared in the hall one by one with a shocked expression, "They are all Soul King powerhouses, this is too ......"

"Mr. Qi!" Lu Yifan called out to Qi Shan again, "You can tell me about your intention now!"

"Gollum!" Qi Shan swallowed hard to suppress the shock in his heart, and then hurriedly stood up and arched his hand slightly to Lu Yifan, and then showed a nervous smile on his face, and hurriedly explained, "As I just said, all the heavenly and earthly treasures needed in the spirit banquet held every ten years are from the hands of my Qi Family Chamber of Commerce...... And on the first day of the first lunar month next year, it will be the time when the new Five Domains Spirit Banquet will be held! Therefore, before the Spirit Banquet is held, I will safely deliver the many treasures that the Chamber of Commerce has found in the Holy Realm to the place where the Spirit Banquet will be held!"

"Where is the place where the spirit banquet will be held this time?" asked Yulou curiously.

"Spirit Domain, Loulan, Spirit Mirror Valley! Thousands of miles away!" Qi Shan explained bluntly.

"So what Mr. Qi means ......" At this point, Lu Yifan seemed to have thought of something.

"I want to ask Sect Master Lu to personally bring people to help the Qi Family Chamber of Commerce escort this batch of heavenly and earthly treasures to the Spirit Mirror Valley safely!"
