Chapter 400

That's truly regrettable; my wish all along has been to have a good sparring match with you, Dao friend.

However, if you, Dao friend, had not fallen, you would surely surpass me a hundredfold now.

I still have no opportunity; it's truly a matter of timing and fate.

Let's not talk about that; Dao friend, please take a seat quickly.

I sincerely admire Dao friend Qin; back then, I thought my talent was unparalleled, suppressing all heroes.

But I was easily defeated by him, and only then did I realize there are heavens beyond heaven and people beyond people.

Moreover, I gained insight from Dao friend Qin's movement technique, which led to my current unparalleled Immortal King art, the Qing Xu Illusory Void.

Below, Shi Hao, Qin Han, and the five others had already taken their seats.

Qin Han raised his wine cup, drained the immortal brew in it, then grasped Qing'er's soft hand, only then letting out a sigh of relief.

Trying to fool a peak Immortal King is no joke; one wrong word and trouble will ensue.

Fortunately, I managed to bluff my way through.

Sigh, speaking of it, fate is truly mysterious.

Just imagine if Lin Yao hadn't killed me back then—where would I be now?

I'd probably still be trying to break through the Immortal Realm, so there wouldn't be the present Qingyun Sect disciple, the Immortal True Immortal Qin Han.

So the senior is actually the very person the ancestor spoke of; Qing Qian has met the senior.

Qing Qian approached Qin Han, respectfully saying, "Senior, please," then she raised the cup in her hand and drained it.

At this point she figured it out: the senior had actually re-cultivated in another life.

Back when I recognized his immortal arts, the senior simply did not wish to reveal his identity.

Qin Han smiled slightly at the sight, then finished the wine in his cup.

If I ever get the chance, I will definitely explain things clearly to them.

Many thanks, Dao friend, and to all the heavenly prides of the immortal sect for saving Qian'er in the immortal tomb; I'll drink to that.

The one in the chief seat, Qing Tai Xu, was in high spirits.

No matter what, having met that person again in my lifetime, I have fulfilled this wish.

Immortal King, please.

Shi Hao and the others all raised their cups.

The immortal brew prepared by the Qing family is not only rich and mellow in flavor, but also greatly beneficial to cultivation.

The immortal brew slid smoothly down the throat into the stomach, instantly turning into pure energy that flowed to every part of the body.

By the way, Dao friend, have you joined that Qingyun Immortal Sect?

Qing Tai Xu asked.

He was also very curious about this suddenly emerged powerful immortal sect.

Even the tomb guardians, the senior of the Dark Night, have joined it, which means Qingyun Sect is at least an Immortal Emperor–level power.

For such hidden world sects, I know of only two.

One is the hidden immortal clan Zhao family; the other is the hidden sect Liuhuo Immortal Sect.

Both were once Immortal Emperor–level powers, but after suffering heavy losses from that foreign invasion, they were forced to go into seclusion.

As for the Qingyun Immortal Sect, I had never heard of it before.

Yes.

If there were no Qingyun Sect, there would be no me as I am now.

Qin Han sighed with a double meaning.

Well...

Before Qing Tai Xu could finish speaking, his heart stirred and he turned his gaze toward the outside of the hall.

"Today is truly lively; an old friend has come as well," he muttered.

Qing Xu kid, why are you so interested today, actually setting up a banquet and drinking here?

"Could it be that you knew I was coming and prepared this especially?"

A hoarse, aged voice came from outside the hall.

Shi Hao, the five others in the hall, and Qing Qian all froze in place.

Qing Xu…… kid???

Holy crap! Who is coming?

To actually address a peak Immortal King like that!

Afterward, they all turned their heads to look at the hall's entrance.

They saw an old and a young figure walk in calmly.

One had a deep and solemn aura, a face without expression—an old woman.

Beside the old woman followed a young maiden dressed in a light‑colored skirt.

"Senior Qian Yu, how did you come here?"

Upon seeing the arrival, Qing Tai Xu hurriedly rose from the chief seat and came down.

"How come? Not welcoming?"

The old woman indifferently retorted.

Then she glanced over Shi Hao and the others in the hall.

The heavenly pride of the Qingyun Immortal Sect?

How could they be here?

The old woman looked at the sect robes worn by Shi Hao and the others, and her heart sank.

Could it be that the Qing Clan Immortal Clan is actually connected to the Qingyun Immortal Sect?

Could it be that the Qing Clan Immortal Clan really has a connection with the Qingyun Immortal Sect?

Welcome, Senior Qianyu, for personally coming to my Qing household; I, Tai Xu, naturally welcome you.

Welcome, Senior Qianyu, for personally coming to my Qing household; Tai Xu naturally welcomes.

Fellow Daoist, I have an urgent matter; I must excuse myself for now.

Translation: "Fellow Daoist, I have some sudden business; I'll excuse myself for a moment."

Qing Tai Xu approached Qin Han and apologetically said.

Translation: "Qing Tai Xu walked up to Qin Han and apologetically said."

"It's fine, please go ahead," Qin Han replied with a smile and a nod.

Translation: "It's fine, Fellow Daoist, please go ahead," Qin Han said, smiling and nodding.

At that moment, the old woman told the girl beside her, "Meng'er, wait here for me."

Translation: "At this moment, the old woman told the girl beside her: 'Meng'er, wait here for me.'"

She then vanished together with Qing Tai Xu from the spot.

Translation: "Afterward, she and Qing Tai Xu disappeared together from the spot."

Miss, you must be the heaven-defying prodigy of the Qing Clan Immortal Clan, Qing Qian.

Miss, you must be the heaven-defying prodigy of the Qing Clan Immortal Clan, Qing Qian.

Everyone says that Miss Qing Qian is the peerless beauty of the Tianyun Dao Domain, driving countless prodigies mad.

Translation: "Everyone says that Immortal Maiden Qing Qian is the peerless beauty of the Tianyun Dao Region, driving countless heaven-defying prodigies mad."

Seeing you today truly lives up to the reputation.

Translation: "Seeing you today truly lives up to the reputation."

After the two left, the girl looked at Qing Qian in the distance and said.

Translation: "After the two left, the girl looked at Qing Qian not far away and said."

Hearing this, Qing Qian gently shook her head and said, "Those are just people's mistaken talk."

Translation: "Hearing that, Qing Qian lightly shook her head: 'Those are just people's mistaken talk.'"

May I ask, Miss, are you from the Zhao family?

Translation: "May I ask, Miss, are you from the Zhao family...?"

I just knew about Senior Qianyu from my ancestor's words.

Translation: "Just now, the Senior Qianyu mentioned by my own ancestor, I know."

One of the elders of the hidden immortal Zhao clan, possessing immeasurable strength, is said to be a supreme powerhouse at the half-step Immortal Emperor realm.

Translation: "An elder of the hidden immortal clan Zhao, whose strength is unparalleled, is said to be a supreme giant at the half-step Immortal Emperor realm."

Furthermore, he shares some connection with our own ancestor.

Translation: "Moreover, he has some connection with our own ancestor."

Sorry, I don't think I need to tell you.

Translation: "Sorry, I don't think I need to tell you."

Upon hearing Qing Qian's question, the girl's tone changed, and she replied indifferently.

Translation: "Hearing Qing Qian's question, the girl's tone changed, and she said indifferently."

Even if I said it, she wouldn't know me, so it's better not to say.

Translation: "Even if she said it, she wouldn't know, so better not to say."

I and my family have been silent for far too long!

Translation: "I and my family have been silent for far too long!"

Ahead, Shi Hao and the others, upon seeing this scene, exchanged bewildered glances.

Translation: "Ahead, Shi Hao and the others, upon seeing this scene, also exchanged bewildered glances."

Who knows where this suddenly appearing old and young pair come from?

Translation: "Who knows where this suddenly appearing old and young pair came from?"

Even the Qing Xu Immortal King lowered his stance and respectfully called Senior Qianyu.

Translation: "Even Qing Xu Immortal King lowered his stance, respectfully addressing Senior Qianyu."

"Qianyu... Qianyu...!"

Translation: "Qian Yu... Qian Yu..."

"Junior brother, do you still remember the Immortal King's technique we saw in the sect's technique hall when we first joined?"

Translation: "Junior Brother, do you still remember the Immortal King's technique we saw in the sect's Technique Hall when we first joined the sect?"

"I recall seeing an Immortal King's manual called Qian Yu Breaks the Initial Yang, a famed technique created by Immortal King Qian Yu; you're wondering if it might be...?"

Translation: "I recall seeing an Immortal King's technique called Qian Yu Breaks the Initial Yang, a famed martial art created by Immortal King Qian Yu; you're saying it might be...?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai's eyes widened slightly in surprise as he said, "It probably isn't that coincidental."

Translation: "Lin Bai's pupils widened slightly upon hearing this, and he said in surprise: 'It probably isn't that coincidental.'"

"Qian Yu Breaks the Initial Yang?"

Translation: "Qian Yu Breaks the Initial Yang?"

"You also know that my ancestor created his own Immortal King's technique?"

Translation: "You also know that my ancestor created this Immortal King's technique?"

Lin Bai's voice rose a bit, and the girl not far away heard it.

Translation: "Lin Bai's voice was a bit louder, and the girl not far away heard it."

Immediately, she asked.

Translation: "Immediately, she asked."

"Qian Yu Breaks the Initial Yang" was created by my ancestor when he was at the Immortal King realm.

Translation: "Qian Yu Breaks the Initial Yang was created by my ancestor when he was at the Immortal King realm."

These people have actually heard of it as well.

Translation: "These people have actually heard of it too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai and Shi Hao exchanged a glance and both fell silent.

Translation: "Upon hearing that, Lin Bai and Shi Hao exchanged a glance, and both fell silent."

This once again verified the couplet in the Technique Hall.

Translation: "This once again verified the couplet in the Technique Hall."

"It contains all heavenly immortal techniques and surveys the myriad universes."

Translation: "\"It stores all heavenly immortal techniques, and reads through the myriad worlds. \""

At the same time, elsewhere.

Translation: "At the same time, elsewhere."

Inside the forbidden grounds of the Qing Clan Immortal Clan.

Translation: "Inside the forbidden land of the Qing Clan Immortal Clan."

"I don't know what business Senior Qianyu has come to my Qing Clan for."

Translation: "I don't know what business Senior Qianyu has come to my Qing household for this time."

"What business? Don't you already know?"

Translation: "What business? Don't you already know?"

"The situation of your Qing Clan is currently unfavorable; I, the old one, have naturally come to help you."

Translation: "The situation of your Qing household is currently unfavorable; I, the old one, naturally came to help you."

Hearing this, Qing Tai Xu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Help us? I don't know what you require, Senior."

Translation: "Hearing that, Qing Tai Xu's pupils narrowed slightly: 'Help us? I don't know what the senior requires.'"

"It's simple: have your entire Qing Clan Immortal Clan surrender to my Zhao clan."

Translation: "It's simple: your Qing Clan Immortal Clan must fully surrender to my Zhao Clan."

"Nowadays, the winds and clouds shift, and powerful forces emerge one after another."

Translation: "Now the winds and clouds shift, and the mighty appear one after another."

My Zhao immortal clan intends to emerge again.
