Chapter 399: Coaxing the Immortal King

Qing Qian led the way into the hall and spoke.

Upon hearing, the figure on the main seat opened his eyes.

He saw that the figure was a middle‑aged man, dressed in a fitted black robe, his face pale and beardless, exuding authority without anger.

An aura of superiority and oppressive pressure came straight at him.

Many cultivators of the Ancient Era remembered him deeply, and countless heavenly pride fell to his hands!

That man, by his own strength alone, brought the Qing Clan to its peak back then.

In danger he broke his limits, reaching Great Luo Peak and becoming an Immortal King!

He is the Ancient Era Immortal King, Qing Tai Xu!

"Immortal Sect disciples have arrived."

"I have set up this banquet to thank a few heavenly pride of the Immortal Sect."

"Qing Qian, which one is Young Master Qin?"

"According to Qian'er, that Young Master Qin is the descendant of the heavenly pride who defeated me back then."

This is also an important reason for me to personally attend this banquet.

Otherwise, although the Qingyun Immortal Sect is a newly risen mysterious Immortal Emperor‑level power,

but merely having their disciples come is not enough to warrant my personal appearance.

I do not know if there will still be a chance to fight that person from back again.

"Ancestor, this person is the descendant of the senior who fought you back then."

Qing Qian pointed to Qin Han behind him.

"Greetings, Senior Immortal King Qing Xu."

Shi Hao and the four others, seeing this, all clasped their hands and spoke.

This is Immortal King Qing Xu indeed, and his oppressive presence is immense.

When Qin Han saw the man on the main seat, his mind raced even faster, thinking how to cover up this lie.

First, he must not lose in aura.

Got it!

"Ancestor, ancestor?" Seeing his ancestor silent, Qing Qian called out twice.

However, Immortal King Qing Xu on the main seat seemed not to hear, giving no reply.

When he saw Qin Han below, his clear black‑and‑white eyes, usually as still as an ancient well, rarely showed a look of shock.

"You…!"

"Haha, long time no see, Fellow Daoist—how have you been?"

"It really is you!"

Immortal King Qing Xu sprang up from the main seat.

"Not bad, it's indeed me."

"Back when I fought you, Fellow Daoist, I still remember it vividly."

Qin Han stepped forward, hands behind his back, and said with a light, carefree expression.

Seeing this, Qing Qian behind them was dumbfounded.

Qing Qian scratched his head in confusion: "What's going on? Did the ancestor and Young Master Qin already know each other?"

Shi Hao and the four others merely exchanged a glance and all understood Qin Han's intention.

He wants to…!

"Just… Fellow Daoist, how…?"

Immortal King Qing Xu frowned.

Indeed, this aura, this appearance—

this person is none other than the heavenly pride who fought me back then.

But how does he still look like this?

True Immortal Realm cultivation???

"Sigh," Qin Han sighed. "Fellow Daoist, this is a long story."

"A few eras ago, I was about to break through to Dao Source Immortal Emperor when a treacherous person ambushed me."

"Although I also killed that traitor, I unfortunately suffered injuries, causing my downfall beneath the Black Abyss Heavenly Tribulation."

"Thus I had no choice but to re‑cultivate this life—how shameful, how shameful!"

Qin Han worked hard to keep his expression under control, trying not to reveal any flaw.

I am not good at acting, but circumstances forced me.

Yet the nonsense I spouted came out fluently, as if I had rehearsed it.

After all, I truly am re‑cultivating this life.

However, I am only a Great Emperor who has re‑cultivated.

"I see," Immortal King Qing Xu said, nodding with a look of sudden realization.

"I never expected you, Fellow Daoist, to have suffered such a calamity."

Before his downfall he had already reached Immortal King Peak; that was several eras ago, and if he had not fallen, by now he would have gone far in the Immortal Emperor Realm.

I am inferior to him.
