Chapter 625 The Pseudo-Immortal Makes a Powerful Debut

Those who could command the governor's respect were naturally officials of higher rank than the governor.

Inspector General?

It must be the person they received the message saying was coming in place of General Su Yi.

It was this young man?

That's not all; this inspector is incredibly low-key, actually walking all the way here.

These rich guys didn't take Cao Erdan seriously at all.

I only realize now that I misjudged him.

It turns out this young man is the guest of honor at today's banquet!

They couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

Those who are good at speculation will quickly come over to say hello and introduce themselves.

Despite his youth, Cao Erdan held a high position, so flatterers and sycophants immediately surrounded him.

However, some people who favored the Star Gate took a wait-and-see attitude and did not have much interaction with Batu and Cao Erdan.

At that moment, the two bronze doors of the main gate opened.

A group of people came out from inside.

They were all dressed in black, with white star patterns on their chests.

From a distance, it looks almost like a funeral procession.

The leader was a burly man, tall and broad-shouldered, with an imposing air about him.

He bowed to the parking lot side of the steps below:

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting. I am Qin Ji, Elder of the First-Rank Hall of the Star Gate, here on the orders of the Sect Master to welcome you all!"

A fickle businessman, who seemed to favor one side over the other, quickly went over and exchanged pleasantries with Qin Ji.

Everyone rushed inside.

Qin Ji suddenly spotted Liu Jichang among the crowd.

His eyes suddenly revealed an extremely resentful look:

"Are you Elder Liu of the Yinshan Sect?"

Liu Jichang gave a wry smile: "I've been retired for many years."

Qin Ji nodded: "My five apprentices once worked with you at the Ouyang family in Zhonggang, but they died a violent death. May I ask, who killed them?"

Liu Jichang knew he was referring to the Five Tigers of Xingmen.

He simply shook his head:

"I have no contact with them!"

Cao Erdan, who was standing to the side, took it:

"I killed him. Your disciple aided and abetted the wicked, and deserved to die!"

Qin Ji only then noticed the young man beside Liu Jichang. Although he was not old, he had a dignified bearing.

I thought Cao Erdan was Liu Jizhang's henchman.

Looking closely at Cao Erdan's expression now, I realized I must have misread it.

The young man stood there with his hands behind his back, a half-smile on his face, looking completely disdainful of the world.

With that kind of demeanor, he must be the leader of this group!

He couldn't help but ask coldly:

"Who are you?"

Batu took a step forward:

"This is our Star Gate Headquarters Chief Inspector, Mr. Cao Erdan!"

Qin Ji had heard of Cao Erdan's name before.

Seeing this now, I couldn't help but feel a chill.

This kid is so young.

Despite his young age, he has an extraordinary demeanor.

He was in charge of receiving guests today and couldn't say much, but he gave Cao Erdan a fierce look.

Then he sneered, "Since Director Cao has graced us with his presence, perfect! Perfect! Please come in!"

When everyone saw him grit his teeth and say those two words, they all felt a chill run down their spines.

Most of the people who came to the banquet today knew Xingmen's true intentions.

They wanted to confront the imperial court and demand an explanation.

The only one who dared to openly and directly provoke the Imperial Gate was Master Yuwen of the Star Gate.

So everyone was just watching the show.

I thought to myself, the bigger the commotion, the better.

If the imperial court can't handle this, they should stop interfering in our Nalan City.

And those wealthy families with ulterior motives can then act with impunity.

Therefore, half of the people present today hope that Xingmen can suppress Huangmen.

We entered Stargate Castle.

A banquet was set up in the back garden, with more than twenty tables and about one hundred and sixty or seventy people seated.

Not only were these powerful figures seated, but their entourages were also given seats.

There were two tables occupied at the Imperial Gate.

Qin Ji ordered his men to set out wine and dishes.

Then, he raised his glass in a toast:

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the Immortal Changqing does not eat the food of the mortal world, he cannot share the wine and food with you. On his behalf, I would like to offer you all a toast."

The wealthy men and their hired henchmen raised their glasses in celebration.

Cao Erdan glanced at Batu and sneered:

"This guy is so arrogant. He doesn't even bother to associate with these people. He brings an elder to keep him company, trying to elevate his own status."

After Qin Ji persuaded everyone to drink two cups,

Qin Ji shouted loudly:

"Please welcome Immortal Changqing!"

Then he waved to everyone:

"Please stand at attention!"

Almost all the members of those wealthy families stood up to welcome Yuwen Changqing.

At this moment, music began to play on both sides, all played by real people, with melodious sounds.

Eight beautiful women in ancient costumes led the way, some holding golden ruyi scepters, some holding swords, some carrying umbrellas, and others carrying strangely shaped objects that no one recognized.

A person in an apricot-yellow robe with a Bagua symbol and long silver hair walked out from behind.

Behind him, two beautiful women in ancient costumes held up palm fans.

Seeing this impressive entrance, Cao Erdan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Holy crap!"

Looking at Batu, he laughed: "Does this guy think he's the emperor?"

Yuwen Changqing was truly as follows:

A face as beautiful as jade reflected in celestial robes,

Her long, flowing hair swept away the dust and noise.

The Bagua diagram contains strange elements.

A seemingly respectable person may be hiding a murderous intent!

The smoke curled upwards as they approached.

He truly possessed an ethereal, otherworldly air.

His appearance drew cheers from the crowd.

Only the two tables at the Royal Gate remained untouched, making them seem out of place in the scene.

Yuwen Changqing nodded and smiled at everyone, then his eyes fell on Cao Erdan's face.

He nodded in agreement.

"Are you Cao Erdan, the rising star of the royal team?"

His tone was extremely arrogant, as if he were an elder speaking to a younger person.

Cao Erdan simply stared at him without answering.

Cao Erdan was also impressed by this guy; he was over a hundred years old, but looked no more than thirty.

But he also knows that his eternal youth is the result of countless girls' precious essence.

This is the anti-aging technique of Yin Liu Gong.

The art of preserving youth does not benefit one's cultivation in the slightest, and it also consumes a great deal of time and energy.

Few male cultivators would be interested in this youth-preserving technique.

This shows how vain this guy is.

Qin Ji went over and wiped the chair in the main seat again and again.

Then they respectfully welcomed Yuwen Changqing to sit down.

He raised an eyebrow and surveyed the entire room.

Everyone quieted down.

Although Yuwen Changqing had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, those who were swept by his gaze couldn't help but shiver.

Such sharp eyes, as if they carried a chilling aura.

Yuwen Changqing said:

"I have invited everyone to this banquet today for two main reasons!"

Everyone listened intently, and no one dared to whisper.

They were all intimidated by Yuwen Changqing's imposing aura.

The wealthy guests also had many martial arts practitioners under their command who were at the high level of the Dao Realm or had touched the threshold of the Divine Realm, and they usually considered themselves extraordinary.

But upon seeing Yuwen Changqing, they were like mice smelling a cat, or dogs seeing a tiger or leopard; they all clenched their buttocks, extremely nervous.

in the Legends,

This immortal has already reached the Heavenly Realm and will soon ascend to immortality.

In the Dragon Kingdom, only a handful of people have reached the Heavenly Realm.

There is probably only one person like Yuwen Changqing who can remain young forever.

Therefore, these people held him in great awe.

Yuwen Changqing continued:

"Firstly, I would like to invite everyone to a banquet with fine wine to express my gratitude for your support of Xingmen over the years!"

With the progress of our Star Gate, everyone will be able to receive our help.

We are all friends who share weal and woe!

The strength of our Star Gate is also inseparable from the support of all our friends in Nalan City!

Then his expression changed, and he looked at the table of the royal family:

"There's one more thing I need to ask your Royal Family!"

Cao Erdan nodded: "I have something to say..."

I finally managed to swallow back the words "I have something to say."

Cao Erdan had tolerated this guy for a long time.

I can't stand people who are pretentious and affected!

Even someone like Su Yi, a war god who protected the country and made great contributions to the country and the people, doesn't act as arrogant as you!
