Translator: Silavin Hearing Dai Qingshan’s angry shout, Xiang Renhan’s eyes flashed with a smile. It seemed that Zhao Wengting had delivered himself to their doorstep, which would save him considerable effort in the future. Seeing Dai Qingshan stand up from the main seat, Zhao Wengting’s eyes revealed a profound wariness. As the Deacon of the Northern Depths Sect, this identity alone was enough to crush their Zhao Family. With just one command, countless Forces, both large and small, would eagerly destroy the Zhao Family just to curry favour with him. “Today is my disciple’s day of celebration. I don’t wish to begin a bloodbath. Zhao Wengting, if you’re sensible, sit down obediently. Otherwise…” Dai Qingshan snorted coldly, speaking with a chilling voice. The threatening intention in his tone was fully exposed. The leaders and representatives of the various Forces all showed a trace of apprehension in their eyes. Zhao Yaorou had been abducted by Dai Qingshan, and now, at the slightest disagreement, he was prepared to take action. This unyielding posture made them deeply remember that the Northern Depths Sect was far beyond what they could provoke. “Deacon Dai truly has quite a temper. However, I’m afraid today’s proceedings cannot continue as you wish…” In the quiet hall, suddenly a faint voice, quite inappropriate for the occasion, rang out. Hearing this voice, Dai Qingshan frowned and looked behind Zhao Wengting, where the source of the voice had come from. Under the astonished gazes of all, a figure draped in a black robe slowly walked out from behind Zhao Wengting and came straight to the front of the hall. Upon seeing this black-robed figure, after a brief moment of shock, the eyes of many guests turned towards the grim-faced Dai Qingshan. Immediately, they silently mourned for this black-robed person. After all, those who defied Dai Qingshan never met a good end. This suddenly appearing black-robed person also caused Xiang Renhan’s heart to shudder. This figure, even if he died, he would never forget. He was the Human Grade Alchemy Master who had effortlessly defeated Master Qingquan, Master Qin! “Who are you?” Dai Qingshan gazed coldly at the black-robed person in the centre of the hall, frowning slightly before asking in a deep voice. “Who am I? I believe the Xiang Family Patriarch knows quite well.” This black-robed person was none other than Qin Yichen. With a trace of a smile, he looked at Xiang Renhan, who stood beside Dai Qingshan with a most unpleasant expression. Dai Qingshan turned his gaze towards Xiang Renhan, who hastily leaned close to whisper a few words in his ear. As he whispered, Dai Qingshan’s expression changed. A Human Grade Alchemy Master capable of defeating Qingquan – even as a Deacon of the Northern Depths Sect, he could not easily provoke such a person. Because Alchemy Masters were like a hornet’s nest, not to mention, this was a Human Grade Alchemy Master who had defeated Master Qingquan! It could be said that if this Master Qin wished, he could raise his arm in a call, and countless Martial Kings would fight for him! This was also the main reason why the Ten Corner Alchemy Manor’s legacy had endured longer than their Northern Depths Sect and the other Sects. It was because the influence of Alchemy Masters was simply too powerful. “I am Dai Qingshan, Deacon of the Northern Depths Sect. Today is my disciple’s day of celebration. I hope you might do us the honour of resting while watching the festivities. If there are any matters to discuss, could we perhaps address them after today’s banquet?” Dai Qingshan was truly an old fox. After a moment’s thought, he had devised a strategy. Upon finishing, he extended an extremely tempting olive branch. “At the same time, I represent the Northern Depths Sect in sincerely inviting you to join our Sect. If you agree, I will immediately report to the Sect, and you will be granted the position of Guest Elder!” Siiii… Hearing Dai Qingshan’s words, a chorus of sharply drawn breaths sounded throughout the hall. A Northern Depths Sect Guest Elder. This temptation was not something anyone could easily refuse! In this region, countless people strived their entire lives just hoping to curry favour with the Northern Depths Sect. As for the position of Guest Elder, ordinary people dare not even dream of it. And now, towards this black-robed person who had come to make trouble, not only was Dai Qingshan not angry, but he had even extended such an invitation. It was truly difficult to fathom the reasons behind this. Only a few astute individuals who had witnessed Qin Yichen defeating Master Qingquan had vaguely guessed something of his identity. At this moment, Zhao Wengting’s face also suddenly changed. Honestly, his Zhao Family’s relationship with this young man was not deep. In fact, after he had helped Zhao Yaorou safely return, the Elders of their Family had even questioned him. If not for Zhao Yaorou’s connection with him, this young man probably would not have bothered with them at all! As for the friendship between Zhao Yaorou and this young man, he had heard Zhao Yaorou mention that there was not any particularly deep connection between. Perhaps he merely had some fondness for Zhao Yaorou. At this moment, faced with such a huge temptation, anyone’s stance might waver. On one hand was the Guest Elder position of a top Sect in this region. The other was their Zhao Family, a mere Family from a Second Tier City. How to choose was not difficult! “The Northern Depths Sect? It doesn’t have that qualification.” However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, the enormous offer thrown out by Dai Qingshan did not entice this black-robed man at all. He even sneered, speaking with great disdain. This sneer immediately caused a huge commotion in the hall! The Northern Depths Sect did not have the qualification to make him a Guest Elder? These words coming from someone from a Second Tier City would definitely be laughed at if spread. Even the Ten Corner Alchemy Manor had several Human Grade Alchemy Masters headhunted by the Northern Depths Sect at great cost. For this black-robed person to speak so grandly was simply boundless arrogance! “Old man, stop wasting words, hurry up and hand over Zhao Yaorou.” While those around were still ridiculing his previous words, this black-robed person suddenly spoke again, seemingly impatiently rebuking Dai Qingshan. With these words, the crowd in the hall was stunned. All eyes turned towards the black-robed person, who had spoken out of line. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief, clearly unable to comprehend this scene. Even if he did not accept Dai Qingshan’s proposal, what right did he have to rebuke a Deacon of the Northern Depths Sect? Did he really seek to provoke this Deacon and court death? [This guy definitely has something wrong with his head!] This thought arose in almost everyone’s mind. Dai Qingshan stared intently at Qin Yichen, his expression now extremely grim. His somewhat aged face now appeared particularly ferocious. He had kindly offered to recruit this person, yet not only did he not appreciate it, he even dared to rebuke him!
