Only the Imperial Family or the Six Great Clans of the Imperial City could make such a grand move by mobilizing several thousand Void Realm experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, they must have poured out all their resources, bringing their entire foundation to bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just didn’t know which power these experts belonged to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Sanpang and Liu Hui were also stunned by the scene. They stopped their assault and returned to Jin Quan’s side, flanking him for protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a young man in a white robe flew over from the distance. He had a shiny, bald head and no eyebrows, making for a comical sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who else could it be but Qian Duoduo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Brother Pang, Brother Liu. Hehehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo ignored everyone else, a wide grin plastered on his face as he approached Jin Sanpang and Liu Hui. He clasped his fist in salute, addressing them as his elder brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s you! The Wealth-Bringing Boy!\" Jin Sanpang recognized Qian Duoduo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo’s expression froze for a moment before he chuckled dryly. \"Yes, yes, that’s me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his gaze fell upon Jin Quan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This must be Uncle Jin, I presume? Here, here, I have some top-quality Healing Elixirs for you. Please, accept them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Qian Duoduo took out a delicate little box. He opened it to reveal three Elixirs shimmering with iridescent light. In an instant, the fragrant aroma of the pills soared into the sky, stunning everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the scent wafting from them was enough to clear one’s mind and make one’s entire body feel refreshed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This alone showed just how precious these three Elixirs were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t all. Qian Duoduo then produced several more Jade Bottles, each containing Elixirs of no lesser quality than the first three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Quan had never witnessed such a spectacle. His mind went blank, unable to process what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the thousands of Void Realm experts and the Elixirs before him were far beyond anything he could have imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shao and the other two were equally bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What in the world is going on?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Are all these people here to back up Jin Quan and his group?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why? And on what grounds?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shao didn’t recognize Qian Duoduo, but Wang Chen and Yan Hong did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qian Duoduo, are you trying to rebel?\" Yan Hong demanded harshly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several thousand Void Realm experts—this display of force was simply too massive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t understand how Qian Duoduo had managed to mobilize all these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, not even the Qian Family Patriarch, Qian Juduo, should have been able to gather so many people at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How noisy!\" Although Qian Duoduo no longer had eyebrows, that didn’t stop him from frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, beating him won’t spoil your mood, will it?\" Qian Duoduo’s smile returned as he looked at Jin Quan and asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Quan subconsciously shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo understood and waved a hand to the men behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Men, slap his face!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, when I’m speaking with Uncle Jin, what right do you have to interrupt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his voice fell, several experts immediately moved forward to restrain Yan Hong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who dares touch me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the Eight Great Masters, Yan Hong held a special status. Strictly speaking, he was second only to the academy’s director, Mu Kongfu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his words had no effect. The next second, he was forced to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to resist, but it was as futile as an ant trying to shake a tree—a laughable overestimation of his own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone stomped on his Dantian, sealing his Cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qian Duoduo, I am a Renowned Master! Aren’t you afraid of being sanctioned by the Imperial Academy for having me beaten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Hong roared in shock and terror, but no one paid him any mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy slaps began to land rhythmically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Hong’s face quickly became a bloody mess, and more than half of his teeth were knocked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Renowned Master? Soon, you won’t be one anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo turned, his cold gaze falling on Zhang Shao and Wang Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two. Kneel. Now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shao and Wang Chen exchanged a look. Though filled with indignation and resentment, they were under someone else’s roof. With Yan Hong as a precedent, they hesitated only for a moment before kneeling as commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shao kept his head down and said nothing. No one knew what he was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chen, however, discreetly crushed a Help Talisman. The current situation was clearly beyond his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Jin, and Brother Pang, Brother Liu, whether you want to kill or torture these three old bastards is up to you now. I’ll take care of any consequences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Wang Chen was horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Qian, surely it doesn’t have to come to this over such a small matter? We are willing to compensate Jin Quan for his losses, isn’t that enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo sneered. \"Doesn’t have to? Sorry, but I think it very much has to!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo’s high-profile and aggressive display wasn’t just to stand up for Jin Quan; more importantly, it was to help Mo Qi with his troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chen and Yan Hong... One had unsealed Wu the Old Ghost, intending to use him to kill Mo Qi Within the Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other had sent his disciple, Su Yu, who, after failing in his pursuit, had even released a Silver-backed Earth Dragon Demon Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every move they made against Mo Qi was a death trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Mo Qi hadn’t possessed the miraculous ability to turn decay into magic, he would have died countless times over by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Qian Duoduo possibly let them go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Hong, his mouth full of blood, shot a cold glare. Toothless, he mumbled indistinctly, \"Qian Duoduo, you just wait! I will use my status as a Renowned Master to impeach you before the Imperial Academy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo sighed, a mocking tone in his voice. \"It seems you won’t give up until you’re at the bitter end. In that case...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his fingers. \"Everyone, come out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, sixteen young men pushed their way through the crowd from the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing these sixteen people, Yan Hong’s face changed drastically. They were all his disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to the rules of the Imperial Academy, the most basic requirement to be a Renowned Master is to have at least two disciples with Vajra Realm Cultivation under your tutelage,\" Qian Duoduo said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile gave Yan Hong a terrible premonition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You recognize these sixteen, don’t you? They’re all your disciples.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo beckoned to the sixteen. \"Come, tell your former master what your decision is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo put heavy emphasis on the word \"former.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixteen young men looked embarrassed, but as if remembering something, they all gritted their teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Yan, this is the last time this disciple will address you as Master. From now on, I am leaving your tutelage to join the Qian Family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Yan, I apologize. A wise bird chooses which tree to nest in. I, too, have joined the Qian Family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Yan, please forgive this unworthy disciple...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All sixteen of them announced they were leaving his tutelage and had pledged their allegiance to the Qian Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Hong stared in disbelief, as if struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his tutelage, he originally had only three disciples with Vajra Realm Cultivation, fourteen at the Purity Realm, and thirty-one at the Refining God Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding the already fallen Su Yu, the remaining two Vajra Realm disciples and fourteen Purity Realm disciples were all here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yan Hong, now all you have left under you is a bunch of Refining God Realm small fry. You don’t have a single Purity or Vajra Realm disciple. According to the Imperial Academy’s rules, you’ve already lost your qualifications as a Renowned Master. What are you going to impeach me with now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1397,"2026-06-03T06:19:41.265Z","2026-06-03T06:19:45.013Z",1,"novelbin.me","541042af0c9f3d80fa32c4222139733f7ef24b920ae04d0096bb0ef0b4512d42","venerable-demon-chef-chapter-232","venerable-demon-chef-chapter-230",421,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvenerable-demon-chef-cover.jpg"]
