After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 208: All the talents have arrived
Changwei Mountain.

Yingxian Ridge.

The Iron-Blooded Youth Group shouted "Chief!" which immediately brought the atmosphere to a climax.

Standing in the center of the formation, Qi Shengli saw a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing leading a group of people onto the field, many of whom were indeed familiar faces.

Xu Hongtian, the seventh leader of the Righteous Alliance, is known as the "Strategist".

The Eighth Leader of the Righteous Alliance is Cheng Yang, known as the "Iron Tower".

These two were people Qi Sheng had met on the day he established his sect in disguise as Han Fu. Not only these two, but Chu Yi, the 'Pretty Asura' who accompanied him back then, also came this time.

These are all old acquaintances, but Qi Sheng had only been in contact with them under the identity of Han Fu. Now that their identities have been revealed, it's somewhat awkward to see them again.

As for Feng Xingzi and Changsun Bing, there's no need to mention them. They are old acquaintances who fought side by side in the Prison Dragon Abyss and have developed a deep bond.

Feng Xingzi still exudes extraordinary charm.

Look at Changsun Bing, dressed in white with a sorrowful expression.

Qi Sheng looked around, then back at Feng Xingzi and the others, only to see that everyone's heads were wrapped in white mourning clothes. He searched carefully again and immediately realized: 'Fourth Brother is gone!'

He felt a little uneasy.

He had a very good impression of Lai Wen. Although they hadn't known each other for very long, the dangerous environment in the Dragon Prison Abyss made their feelings for each other develop very quickly. He called Lai Wen "Fourth Brother" affectionately and sincerely.

This guy is a real man. He's very capable, straightforward, decisive, and efficient. He's especially magnanimous and has the air of a big brother.

pity.

Good people don't live long.

"Ugh!"

Qi Sheng sighed and went out to greet everyone, finally reaching Changsun Bing. Looking closer, he noticed a slight bulge in her lower abdomen. Judging from her thin appearance, she hadn't gained weight; it must be—

'Are you pregnant?'

Qi Sheng was startled and was about to ask for details.

suddenly.

Just then, a loud sound came from afar, and suddenly a couple led a group of people to arrive. The man, who was the leader, was middle-aged and had a majestic demeanor with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He had the air of a king. The woman was a middle-aged Taoist nun. The afternoon sun shone on her face, making it sparkle and shine. Although she was middle-aged, her beauty was undiminished.

This Taoist nun was not unfamiliar; Qi Sheng recognized her at a glance as Phoenix Hermit.

Since she is Phoenix Wanderer, the middle-aged man beside her must be Linghu Zhengyi, the second patriarch of the Linghu family. This man from the Linghu family is known for his womanizing ways and has had affairs with many women. Seeing his appearance and demeanor today, he certainly has a good image, which is not unfounded.

As Qi Sheng looked at the newcomers, Phoenix Hermit also happened to look at him. The two met eyes. Qi Sheng smiled, while Phoenix Hermit remained indifferent and cold, seemingly still not forgiving Qi Sheng for refusing to give her the elixir of immortality.

Qi Sheng smiled, unconcerned, and stepped forward to greet her: "It's been many days since we parted ways at Prison Dragon Abyss, but the Holy Maiden's charm remains unchanged."

He first greeted Phoenix Hermit, who snorted coldly and ignored him.

Linghu Zhengyi, who was standing nearby, knew the reason and immediately smoothed things over, saying, "My wife has always been like this, please don't take offense, Young Hero Qi."

"No wonder."

Qi Sheng looked at Linghu Zhengyi: "Senior, you must be Senior Linghu Zhengyi of the 'Five Luo Light Smoke Palm'?"

Linghu Zhengyi smiled and said, "Exactly."

Qi Sheng was interested in Linghu Zhengyi, and Linghu Zhengyi was equally interested in him.

Phoenix Wanderer, however, didn't bother to look at the two of them. Her gaze swept over Changsun Bing and lingered on her, or more precisely, on Changsun Bing's abdomen—

Look at Changsun Bing.

Then look at Qi Sheng.

Phoenix Wanderer's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. What incredible thing had she discovered?!

Just about to speak.

Suddenly at this moment.

In the distance, another group of people arrived amidst a lively atmosphere. This time, it was a group of beautiful female cultivators, quite a sight to behold. Qi Sheng saw that Linghu Zhengyi's eyes lit up when he saw the newcomers. He smiled to himself, thinking that Linghu Zhengyi truly deserved his reputation for being a womanizer.

Looking closer at the crowd, there was a Taoist nun, around fifty years old, with a serene demeanor, dignified bearing, and an air of otherworldly grace. She was none other than the long-lost 'Master Suyu'.

If this is the person in question, then the group of people who have come must be experts from Hundred Flowers Mountain.

as predicted.

Linghu Zhengyi recognized them all and introduced them to Qi Sheng: "The leaders are the eight masters of Baihua Mountain, namely the 'Four Elements' and 'Four Truths'."

Qi Sheng also saw that among the group from Baihua Mountain, besides the familiar 'Master Suyu', there was also 'Master Suxin' who was not among the 'Four Su'. This person was once one of the older generation of Four Su, but was later trapped in the Small Cave Heaven of the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss and could not come out. Baihua Mountain had long ago selected a new Four Su, and it was none other than Master Suyu.

I never expected to see both of you here today.

Qi Sheng glanced at Master Suxin twice; she was also graceful and still retained her charm.
Upon seeing the arrival of the group from Baihua Mountain, Qi Sheng was about to step forward to greet them.

Suddenly at this moment.

From the southeast, the faint sound of string and bamboo instruments could be heard. A group of people came over, and the sound of bells and drums was mixed in with the string and bamboo instruments, which was quite melodious.

As the music drew nearer, it stopped in front of the mountain. Several people said in unison, "The dignified ancestor of the Iron Gallant has descended upon the Central Plains. Four Phases Sword Sect, why don't you come up and kneel to receive him?"

As soon as the words stopped, the drums began to beat loudly.

After three drumbeats, a gong was struck, the drumming stopped, and dozens of people shouted in unison, "We respectfully invite the Iron-Blooded Ancestor to bestow his great magic and subdue the demons and clowns!"

Qi Sheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw more than twenty people lined up in a row. Some were holding gongs and drums, while others were holding long banners and brocade flags. The red and green colors were very pleasing to the eye. From a distance, the banners were embroidered with words such as "Iron-Blooded Ancestor", "Great Supernatural Power", "Boundless Magic Power", and "Awe-inspiring Throughout the World".

Qi Sheng was startled: "So it's the Iron-Blooded Ancestor!" He looked closely and saw an old man slowly walking out amidst the sounds of silk and bamboo instruments and gongs. Behind him, dozens of people lined up in two rows, several feet apart, following behind him.

The old man held a goose feather fan in his hand. The sunlight shone on his face, revealing a ruddy complexion, a full head of white hair, and a three-foot-long silver beard. With his youthful face and white hair, he truly resembled a celestial being from a painting.

It was none other than the Iron-Blooded Ancestor.

As he stepped down, the dozens of people accompanying him immediately burst into song—

"The Iron-Blooded Ancestor possesses boundless magical power, is invincible in attack and unbeatable in battle!"

Such flattery is truly embarrassing and makes one's heart race.

Qi Sheng subconsciously looked towards the formation where the Righteous Alliance was located, only to see that the fourteenth leader, Yu Shuisheng, known as "Golden Flute," had already lowered his head, his face flushed red. Qi Sheng took a closer look at the "Golden Flute" in Yu Shuisheng's hand and suddenly realized, "No wonder! No wonder!"

He had long known that Yu Shuisheng was a disciple of the Iron-Blooded Ancestor, but he hadn't connected the golden flute in Yu Shuisheng's hand with the old master. But seeing the Iron-Blooded Ancestor's entrance today with all the music and singing, he knew perfectly well that Yu Shuisheng must have been one of those musicians when he first became an apprentice.

Haha!

Definitely a dark history!
……

Changwei Mountain.

Yingxian Ridge.

This is truly lively now. In the vast Western Region, one power surpasses four, and this time, apart from the Netherworld Sect members who were all imprisoned, suppressed, or killed by Qi Sheng within the Great Evolution Array, all four major forces have arrived—

Baihua Mountain in Northeast China.

Southeast Iron Gallbladder Gate.

Northwest Righteousness Alliance.

The Linghu family of Southwest China.

It was truly a gathering of outstanding talents.

On the other side, Wang Xuanliang and the others looked grim. The Three Flower Goddess called out from afar, "Brother Iron Gallbladder, it's been many years."

This old woman has a really wide circle of friends.

Because of her advanced age, all the old friends she knew who were still alive were at least top figures, including many peak ancestors like Yao Gong and Yao Po, Yan Wuhui, and Tian Dao Lao Zu.

For example, the Iron-Blooded Ancestor had a past relationship with him.

But not deep.

Iron-Blooded Ancestor said, "Sister, please don't try to establish a friendship. I'm here today to support my young friend Qi Sheng. We each serve our own masters, so please forgive me."

The Three Flowers Goddess's face darkened. "Brother, you should think this through. Qi Sheng is just showing off his power for a moment, yet he wants to challenge my Yuan Chu Mountain and even the five sects of the Barbarian Frontier. He's overestimating himself. Do you really want to support him?"

The Iron-Blooded Ancestor, who had lived for so many years, was not easily frightened. He laughed and said, "I have lived for so many years and I am not easily frightened. Don't say such things again. When your five sects break through the gates of your Four Phases Sword Sect, I will definitely admit defeat."

Qi Sheng chuckled upon hearing this; this old ancestor was truly amusing.

But the words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.

The Iron-Blooded Ancestor was able to independently support the vast Iron-Blooded Sect and stand firm in the barbarian lands for a hundred years; he was no ordinary person.

He really didn't take the Three Flower Goddess seriously.

The Three Flowers Goddess's face was grim. She then looked at Chen Qingfeng of the Righteous Alliance, the Four Pure Ones and Four True Ones of Hundred Flowers Mountain, and Linghu Zhengyi of the Linghu Family: "So, you all came to support Qi Sheng and are going to be enemies with the Five Sects?"

Chen Qingfeng laughed and said, "It's better to resolve enmity than to make it fester. Young hero Qi is a young hero, and I hope you all will be lenient with him."

Linghu Zhengyi was also very shrewd: "The treasures of the world belong to those who are destined to possess them. I have heard that the old woman was trapped in that small cave for more than 180 years, trying to obtain the Ze Ding but to no avail. In the end, it was obtained by Young Hero Qi. This is destiny, and fate is what it is. It cannot be forced."

Master Suyu also said, "Why don't we stop?"

"Good good!"

The Three-Flower Goddess laughed in exasperation: "Then let's see who's the real deal in a few days."

Seeing that things were hopeless, she turned and left without lingering, as if she had made some kind of decision.

It's not just her.

The group present, including Wang Xuanliang, the Foolish Old Monster, the Dragon Seeker, and the Heavenly Blade Ancestor, all turned and left without looking back. They knew very well that Qi Sheng alone was already too much to handle with the losses, and now with the four of them coming to support him, it would be even more difficult to break through.

The only course of action now is to follow what the Three Flower Goddess previously said—

First, they spread rumors, which attracted a barrage of attacks.

The second and fourth petitions were made to the Supreme Lord, so that he might make a comeback.

There is no other way.

this side.

Qi Sheng saw that the Three Flower Goddess and the others had left. He had heard every word the Three Flower Goddess said when he was in his electric form. He knew that this was not the end and that another big wave was bound to come soon.

But don't worry.

In dealing with the Three Flower Goddess and others, Qi Sheng had not yet unleashed his full power. Only the Great Evolution Array Diagram had shown its power. When the five Supreme Elders of the Five Sects arrived later, not to mention that the Great Evolution Array Diagram might have several more layers, Qi Sheng's trump card, the 'Ze Cauldron,' would be enough to give the later arrivals a big surprise.

Not urgent!
Not urgent!
"Please come in, everyone!"

Qi Sheng smiled and led everyone inside.
