Chapter 485: Chapter 189: “Ao Tian, come quickly!

“Hold on…”

The elder from “Three Springs Building” narrowed his eyes slightly, a chill flashing in his gaze, “I’ve had quite a difficult time coming out of seclusion, so I must invite some old friends to meet.”

“Didn’t you just say that Chen Qiu has recently become quite famous in Xuantian Continent, a Heavenly Pride, boasting the power to annihilate Nascent Soul peak with just a fifth-layer Nascent Soul, claimed the top spot in the Nascent Soul combat power rankings, and even eradicated an entire Evil Clan by himself at the peak of Golden Core?”

“His martial achievements are indeed not weak.”

“How about we organize a ‘Sha Qiu Banquet’ and call all my old friends over for a gathering?”

A flicker of understanding passed through the Young Master’s eyes, and he nodded immediately, “What the elder suggests is very apt, I shall give the orders right away.”

The elder’s intention was quite obvious. Having come out of seclusion after such a struggle, though failing to break through to the Void Refining Stage, but still being half a step into Void Refining, one must let everyone witness one’s prowess.

Otherwise, what would have been the point of the seclusion?

Moreover, to boast the reputation of Three Springs Building.

Although Chen Qiu’s strength wasn’t formidable, his renowned reputation was undeniable. If he could be killed in front of everyone, it would indeed lift the name of “Three Springs Building” using Chen Qiu’s reputation.

It must be said, the older generation always thinks things through thoroughly.

A matter that originally brought tenfold benefits could be tweaked slightly to yield thirteenfold profits.

“Hmm.”

The elder nodded in satisfaction, “Choosing you as the Young Master was the right decision; that mind of yours is nimble. You take care of this matter. Let’s set the banquet for tonight; I’ll go and set up the array.”

“Understood.”

…

In Quzhou, within a small family clan, the “Cao Family”.

At this moment, an elder and a youth were deep in thought, both frowning, neither speaking.

Cao is a rather obscure surname, but just as an event that has a one in ninety-nine point nine nine nine nine nine likelihood of not happening can still have that slim chance of occurring, this surname does indeed exist.

And, what’s more, it has developed quite well.

The strongest in the “Cao Family” is the Cao Family Patriarch, who has already reached the Middle Stage of Divinity Transformation.

Although in Quzhou, they are an obscure small family, somewhat inconspicuous among the various powers, and the Cao Family only had him at the Divinity Transformation stage,

If placed in lower or upper regions of Quzhou, a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator could suppress a territory, just like the strongest in Quzhou only reached the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation, not even a Middle Stage.

If the “Cao Family” were willing to move to Quzhou, they could easily become the most powerful force in the region.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the study of the “Cao Family” courtyard was quite oppressive.

“Father.”

After a long while, it was the young man who, frowning, first broke the silence, “Didn’t you always tell me that even if we found traces of Chen Qiu, not to report it, and to stay hidden within the family these days, not going anywhere?”

“But now…”

“Three Springs Building has invited us to the ‘Sha Qiu Banquet’ tonight, intending to behead Chen Qiu as an appetizer before midnight.”

“With such certainty, it seems that Three Springs Building has already captured Chen Qiu, and before midnight, they will surely be able to behead him effortlessly.”

“Father, didn’t you say that Chen Qiu is unfathomable, like a ghost? Now it looks like he might already be ensnared.”

“No, no, no…”

After taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man looked up solemnly at his son and asked, “Let me ask you, if you were a twelfth grade Golden Core and a twelfth grade Nascent Soul, what would be your deepest obsession when you break through to Divinity Transformation?”

“Is it…” the young man pondered with a frown, then ventured thoughtfully, “a twelfth-grade Divine Domain?”

“Exactly!”

The Cao Family Patriarch slammed the table forcefully and declared, “A twelfth-grade Divine Domain, indeed! A heavenly prodigy, who has walked the path with a perfect grade Golden Core and Nascent Soul, when he breaks through to Divinity Transformation, the first thing he’d consider would definitely be the twelfth-grade Divine Domain!”

“That’s human cognitive inertia.”

“But Chen Qiu hails from a Loose Cultivator background, and undoubtedly lacks resources. What should he do in such a situation?”

“Naturally, he’d start by plundering. Perhaps at this moment, the elder from Three Springs Building has already been seized by Chen Qiu, releasing information to lure us there, then capturing us all in one fell swoop!”

“Even though the elder from Three Springs Building has emerged from seclusion and broken through to half-step Void Refinement, crushing Chen Qiu who’s a Great Realm below in cultivation, and is almost stepping into the Xuantian Invincible Realm.”

“But—”

The Cao Family Patriarch murmured somewhat abstractedly, “That’s a twelfth-grade Nascent Soul, a being that hasn’t been seen in tens of thousands of years on Xuantian Continent. Do you really believe that such a person can easily die like this?”

“Indeed, I don’t understand how someone at the peak of Nascent Soul could coerce someone half-step into Void Refinement.”

“But similarly, I don’t understand how a Loose Cultivator could forge a twelfth-grade Golden Core and form a twelfth-grade Nascent Soul. Anything happening to such a person is normal beyond our imagination!”

“So according to my speculation, this ‘Sha Qiu Banquet’ is a trap set by Chen Qiu!”

“His goal is to wipe us out in one fell swoop, and have you noticed that ‘Three Springs Building’ has not invited the top forces of Quzhou this time? They’ve only invited us smaller clans, with whom they hardly ever interact. Why suddenly invite us without reason?”

“It shows that Chen Qiu’s current strength is only enough to engulf smaller clans like us and isn’t yet ready to provoke the top forces of Quzhou.”

“Additionally…”

The Cao Family Patriarch looked at the items in the Merit Value Store with a meaningful expression, “See those rare-level Divine Domains? Each is worth 200 billion merit values.”

“Everyone on Xuantian Continent can’t afford them, but there’s one person who can, and that’s Chen Qiu.”

“Such a level of character, do you believe he’ll just perish tonight?”

“Those who go to the banquet are more likely to die.”

After pondering with his head bowed for a long time, the young man raised his head to seriously look at his father and gave a thumbs up, “Father, you truly are an old Jianghu, your way of thinking is different. Does this mean we reject their invitation?”
