Chapter 536

Dusk.

The young man who had earlier guided Lin Chen arrived at the courtyard.

“Princess Yin Yue, Brother Lin, my clan is hosting a banquet in your honor—do you two have time?”

“Banquet?”

Lin Chen was surprised; the Entropy Clan had shown little interest in Yin Yue, so why arrange a banquet now?

“It’s a gathering our younger generation holds every three months. I thought if you two are free, you might join us.”

After Qianlang explained, Lin Chen finally understood what this banquet meant.

It was a gathering of the Entropy Clan’s younger generation.

After exchanging a glance with Yin Yue, both nodded and followed Qianlang toward a nearby square.

The square was already filled with young people—all Qi Refining cultivators—who turned their gazes toward Qianlang as he approached with Lin Chen and Yin Yue.

“Let me introduce you all—this is Princess Yin Yue of the Yuepo Clan.”

Qianlang introduced Yin Yue to the younger clan members; many showed curiosity. As fellow ancient clans, they knew each other well and understood what it meant for Yin Yue to be a princess of the Yuepo Clan.

Among all ancient clans, not every one has a royal bloodline; those that do possess exceptionally powerful bloodline abilities.

The Yuepo Clan is one such clan.

Thus, despite Yin Yue’s childlike appearance, not a single young member of the Entropy Clan dared to underestimate her.

“And this one…”

Qianlang turned to Lin Chen: “Some of you may never have left our lands, but Brother Lin is renowned beyond our borders—he is a prodigy of the Canglan Sect, the most formidable cultivator in the past several decades on Mount Dengwudao, and recently he conquered the Tongtian Tower. His strength in the third stage of Qi Refining is unparalleled—he’s only twenty-one. But that’s not the most astonishing thing; what’s truly incredible is that he doesn’t come from a martial clan; he hails from a remote, desolate island beyond the Eastern Seas.”

When coming to the Entropy Clan with Yin Yue, Lin Chen had not used a false identity, to avoid causing misunderstanding.

Hearing Qianlang list off his titles one after another, Lin Chen was taken aback—Qianlang knew far too much about him.

“Brother Lin, due to certain reasons, our clan pays close attention to events beyond our borders. Honestly, even I was stunned by the speed of your cultivation growth.”

Seeing Lin Chen’s surprise, Qianlang smiled and explained.

Some among the Entropy Clan had heard of Lin Chen; others had not. But all now regarded him with curiosity.

As members of an ancient clan, even when facing prodigies from the world’s top sects, they held their own superiority. Yet Lin Chen’s martial achievements still left them astonished.

A peak Qi Refining third-stage cultivator at twenty-one—none in their generation had reached such a level.

“Qianlang, is this true?”

One clan member voiced doubt, eyeing Lin Chen skeptically.

Lin Chen’s Qi Refining third-stage aura was undeniable—they questioned only the claim of “unmatched in the third stage.”

As someone challenged, Lin Chen was about to speak, when Qianlang’s voice whispered into his ear: “Brother Lin, this introduction was ordered by the Elders. Our clan’s youth are too arrogant; the Elders hope you’ll humble them, show them there are greater beings beyond their horizon.”

Hearing Qianlang’s whisper, Lin Chen now understood why he’d been draped in so many titles—especially that phrase “unmatched in the third stage”—it was meant to draw hostility.

“Brother Qian, my strength is insufficient for such a task. Please don’t put me in this position.”

“Brother Lin, don’t rush. The Elders said you won’t be asked to act without reward—the clan will repay you handsomely.”

A handsome reward?
