The crowd was appalled. The negotiations were starting earlier than planned!?
The newcomer was a servant of the Prefect and was at the Soul Splitting Realm. The message delivered couldn’t be false.
The Langya Ancestor frowned slightly. “Since the date was set, why has it suddenly been moved up?”
The servant glanced at the Langya clan’s ancestor with a sliver of disdain. He didn’t descend from the sky, looking down at everyone from above.
“You should have heard that representatives from the Immortal Giant Sect have arrived. They wish for the negotiations to conclude as soon as possible; they do not want to stay here longer than necessary. The Azure Dao Manor is merely a remote area to the Immortal Giant Sect, and the Prefect cannot keep their high-ranking figures here for too long.
“Please proceed, and do not keep the representatives of the Immortal Giant Sect and the Prefect waiting. The leaders of the various clans are already arriving.”
After speaking, the messenger turned and left, not giving the crowd a chance to ask further questions. His tone made it clear that there was no room for refusal.
Everyone turned to the Langya Ancestor, their faces filled with concern.
Nearby, many cultivators, including the Qin Family’s head and Chu Lan, stood, representing the leaders of various clans.
The head of the Qin Family sighed. “Indeed, the Immortal Giant Sect’s cultivators are extraordinary. With them intervening, the matter between the Immortal Qin clan and the Langya clan should wrap up.”
Chu Lan nodded slightly. With their intervention, the situation would naturally reach a resolution.
On the other side, Wei Haisheng silently observed the Immortal Giant Sect cultivators.
Wei Yuan joined, “Indeed, the Ninth Generations Prince has quite the influence. He effortlessly called upon the Immortal Giant Sect to Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters. With their standing, they can match the Void Immortal Sword Sect. Plus, with the Ninth Generation King’s Manor putting pressure from behind, heh… the Langya clan is finished this time.”
“Father, if we obtain the Langya clan’s Dao Orthodoxy, the Ninth Generations Prince will undoubtedly be very pleased. At that time, our clan, the Dragon Guard clan, should be able to replace the Langya clan’s former position in the Azure Dao Manor,” Wei Haisheng transmitted.
Wei Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes filled with satisfaction. The Longhu Clan’s intense interest this time was precisely for this goal.
“It seems that almost everyone has arrived. However… the Langya clan members are still missing.”
The head of the Qin Family glanced around and noticed the absence of the Langya Ancestor, revealing a hint of cold laughter on his face.
“Langya Xing Zhou still has the audacity to act aloof at this point?”
The head of the Wei Family chuckled. “Prefect Qi, he’s not giving you any face at all.”
“No matter, no matter. They’ll eventually come. It’s not a big deal if they’re a bit late. Let him drink three cups of wine as punishment later,” Qi Jian said generously, waving his hand.
He then arranged seating for the Immortal Giant Sect cultivators. Due to their massive size, their seats created a striking contrast with the others.
It was as if a group of toddlers were seated among a crowd of adults.
At that moment, the Langya Ancestor arrived with Fang Chen and the others.
The Qin Family’s Ancestor immediately scolded, “Langya Xing Zhou, why are you so late? Should we wait for your entire family?”
Langya Ancestor was slightly taken aback, frowning. “We rushed over as soon as we received the message from the Prefect. How could we be late?”
However, when he saw that all the clan leaders were already seated, and Qi Jian and his group had settled in, he began to understand. Qi Jian had intentionally delayed the message to create the impression that the Langya clan was being arrogant.
“Langya Xing Zhou, here’s what we’ll do. You’ll drink three cups as a token of apology. After all, we have distinguished guests from the Immortal Giant Sect here, and we cannot afford to be rude to them,” Qi Jian said with a smile.
Three cups as punishment?
The expressions of the Langya clan members changed. To be asked to apologize before the negotiation even started—what kind of result could they expect from the upcoming talks?
