Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 96: Lord Qingtian, the Ghost Wolf, and the Grand Banquet of the Divine Court!

Accompanying Li Tian were two elders from the Li Clan.

Chen Chang'an took a glance and thought they were quite impressive.

Both of them were pseudo-seventh realm experts at the peak of the sixth realm.

One was a quasi-sword master who cultivated the way of the sword, while the other was a quasi-dao master who cultivated the path of cultivation.

Two great powerhouses!

They stood on either side of Li Tian, their aura ancient and everlasting.

Seeing this scene, Chen Chang'an didn't want to bother and sat aside by himself.

"Young sir, our young master is supposed to sit in this row. Could you please give up your seat and sit somewhere else?" someone from the Li Clan approached him politely and asked.

However, Chen Chang'an didn't want to comply, but it seemed that the person opposite him didn't think the same.

At the next moment, an old man among the Li Clan walked over and asked him kindly.

His words were warm and courteous, displaying the demeanor of a prestigious clan.

"Hmm?" Chen Chang'an looked at the old man in confusion and found it amusing.

"Sir, there are plenty of seats in this row. The space is wide enough for everyone to sit comfortably. It shouldn't affect us if we sit together," Chen Chang'an replied.

The Night God Temple's hall was large, and each row had many seats.

Even a random row could accommodate hundreds or even thousands of people.

In the row where Chen Chang'an was, there were only him and Li Tian's group from the Holy Realm.

Chen Chang'an was curious about how big their egos must be to think that even such a wide space wasn't enough for them to sit.

"I apologize, Fellow Daoist," the old man said, shaking his head in response to Chen Chang'an's words. "To be honest, our young master prefers tranquility. He doesn't like sitting with others."

"So, Fellow Daoist, could you please accommodate us?" he continued. "Rest assured, the Li Clan will not forget this favor."

The old man's words were also filled with warmth, making them sound very friendly.

However, Chen Chang'an didn't feel any warmth in them.

The implications behind the old man's words were condescending, suggesting that he could leave.

In other words, they were dismissing him.

Indeed, as a supreme clan, they had the right to display such an attitude to the world.

But if this attitude was directed at Chen Chang'an, then he would have none of it.

Chen Chang'an lazily stretched and said, "I apologize, Fellow Daoist. I would like to give up my seat for you, but I have a natural habit."

"That is, once I sit somewhere, I won't easily move," he continued. "So, I'm sorry, but I reject your request."

With that, he turned his head away and didn't look at the Li Clan elder again.

He was just hiding his true strength, not pretending to be a pushover!

"Kid, you...!" The elder's brows furrowed in anger when he saw Chen Chang'an's attitude.

He looked at Chen Chang'an with a slightly angry expression.

This was the first time he encountered someone who dared to disregard the Li Clan during his trip to the mortal realm.

Immediately, he became furious.

He had manners and spoke kindly, but it didn't mean he was easy to deal with.

How could a presumptuous Night God who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth dare to disrespect the Li Clan?

He was about to take action and teach Chen Chang'an a lesson.

However, someone stopped him.

It was Li Tian!

"Uncle Lao, take a rest. Let me handle this," Li Tian said, extending his hand to signal the elder to step back.

The elder followed his instructions.

"This Fellow Daoist, you seem unfamiliar. May I ask for your name?" Li Tian finally turned his gaze to Chen Chang'an and asked.

"My surname is Wang, you can call me Old Wang. Of course, if you don't mind, you can add the prefix 'Next Door' before my name," Chen Chang'an replied without even turning his head.

"Surname Wang, Old Wang, with the prefix 'Next Door'?"

"Next door, Lao Wang?" When Li Tian heard Chen Chang'an's introduction, he was immediately puzzled. He looked at Chen Chang'an with a confused expression.

Such a strange name, he had never heard it before.

"Mm." Chen Chang'an nodded, indicating that he hadn't misheard.

"That's truly a peculiar name."

Seeing Chen Chang'an nod, Li Tian sighed.

Then he asked Chen Chang'an, "I wonder where Fellow Daoist is from?"

"Zhongtu," Chen Chang'an said.

There was no need to hide his origins.

"So it's Zhongtu."

Li Tian was momentarily stunned, then he smiled warmly and said, "That's quite a coincidence."

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but my young master came to the mortal realm this time for one person."

"That person is Emperor Song from Zhongtu."

"I heard that this person is an unparalleled genius rarely seen in this realm for a million years."

"And I, too, have been called by the same title."

"So, you want to come and challenge this Emperor Song."

"To see if Emperor Song, the unparalleled genius, is formidable, or if you, the unparalleled genius, are formidable."

Before Li Tian could finish speaking, Chen Chang'an interrupted and asked.

"That's right!"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Li Tian nodded.

Then he said to Chen Chang'an, "To be honest, I came to the mortal realm this time specifically to challenge Emperor Song of the Hall of Rebirth."

Challenge Emperor Song?

Chen Chang'an was stunned when he heard this.

"Sir, do you know that the battlefield is no trivial matter?"

"Going to the battlefield is different from ordinary challenges. If you're not careful, you could lose your life."

"And I heard that Emperor Song has a habit of not liking to be disturbed."

"If you rashly disturb him, I'm afraid you won't come back!"

Li Tian shook his head at these words.

"You don't have to worry about that, Fellow Daoist."

"As the saying goes, no pain, no gain."

"Although Emperor Song is strong, so what?"

"He is strong enough to be the whetstone for my continuous progress. Why not?"

After saying that, Li Tian couldn't help but laugh.

He came to the mortal realm this time to find his contemporaries and start a war, while also seizing some territory to prepare for the upcoming great era.

Facing an Emperor Song, he naturally wouldn't back down.

He dared to confront even the geniuses of the Holy Realm, let alone an Emperor Song?

Emperor Song is indeed strong, but is he not strong?

How ridiculous!

"Then I wish you good luck."

Chen Chang'an didn't say anything more.

The battlefield is not a challenge field.

If someone wants to go to their death, what else can he say?

While Chen Chang'an and Li Tian were having their strange conversation, the discussion among the crowd in the hall continued.

And because of the arrival of Li Tian from the Li Clan, the atmosphere on the scene became much more relaxed.

Not to mention, even the voice of the old Jade Profound Heaven on the stage became much lighter.

"Alright, Fellow Daoists, let's discuss how to deal with Emperor Song specifically."

He changed the topic and focused on how to deal with Emperor Song himself.

This topic was discussed for a long time by everyone.

Then, when it was almost time, the old Jade Profound Heaven left,

And the Flame Dao Ancestor came out to preside over the meeting.

The Flame Dao Ancestor also talked about Emperor Song.

Then, I don't know if he was out of his mind or what.

Surprisingly, towards the end of the conference, they chose to randomly select a lucky person from the audience to give them a chance to speak.

And it was fair and impartial.

The person they picked was Chen Chang'an.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist over there, yes, you, the handsome Fellow Daoist!"

"Huh?"

When Chen Chang'an saw the finger of the Lord of the Fire Departure pointing at him, he was a little confused.

What kind of luck is this? How did I get picked?

In that instant, Chen Chang'an remembered being randomly called upon by his teacher when he was in school in his previous life.

It felt more than just familiar, it was exactly the same.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist, it's you."

"Do you have any insights, Fellow Daoist?" the Lord of the Fire Departure asked, nodding at Chen Chang'an.

He had noticed Chen Chang'an since he first entered.

He was a new face.

And he was wearing a mask that symbolized the identity of the Night God of the Tian Shui Domain.

The Lord of the Fire Departure still had some impression of the Night God of the Tian Shui Domain.

He clearly remembered that this person seemed to be an old man with profound cultivation.

However, the person who came now looked like a young man.

And his cultivation seemed not so extraordinary.

So, out of curiosity, he asked.

Seeing this, Chen Chang'an's mouth twitched again. With this luck, he really should have bought a lottery ticket!

So he stood up and said:

"I don't have any insights about Emperor Song as a person, Daoist. However, if you want me to talk about his character, I can only say that he is not someone to be trifled with."

"If anyone disturbs him under the pretext of a challenge, I don't think the outcome will be pleasant."

"It's not impossible for them to die."

Chen Chang'an's words were calm and full of strength, with an undeniable connotation.

As for who he was implying, everyone in the room instantly understood when they saw the people sitting next to him, including Li Tian.

Who else could it be if not Li Tian!

"Hmm?"

The Lord of the Fire Departure frowned upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words.

From Chen Chang'an's words, he also heard that Chen Chang'an was talking about Li Tian.

He couldn't help but feel a little curious about this newly appeared person.

After all, Li Tian was a genius from the Upper Realm.

Not to mention that he himself was a giant at the Everlasting Realm level.

You, a newcomer, can you really say that about him?

"Thank you for your analysis, Fellow Daoist. Please have a seat," the Lord of the Fire Departure said.

However, although he knew that Chen Chang'an's words were not good, the Lord of the Fire Departure did not say anything.

After all, he was the one who called him up, so he had to accept whatever he said.

"Hmm?"

At the same time, Li Tian, sitting on the guest seat, furrowed his brows.

He looked at Chen Chang'an, who sat down next to him, and a hint of anger gradually appeared in his eyes.

He didn't expect that this young man, not only said that he was not good enough in front of him, but also showed such contempt for him in such a public setting.

Such audacity!

"Young Master, should we...?"

At this moment, two old men beside Li Tian walked up to him. They looked at Li Tian and made a throat-slitting gesture towards Chen Chang'an.

"No need," Li Tian shook his head.

"We are newcomers, and it's inevitable that we will be looked down upon. Once I defeat Emperor Song, they won't have anything to say."

However, even though he said that, he had already remembered the person called 'Next Door Old Wang' in his heart.

"Yes, Young Master," the two old men said and fell silent.

"Alright, let's go, Tian Lao," Li Tian suddenly said to the two men.

"Yes, young master."

Upon hearing Li Tian's words, the two old men had no objections and nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the three of them got up and left.

After Li Tian and the others left, the meeting in the main hall came to an end.

Li Huo Dao Zun addressed the crowd below, concluding the meeting, saying:

"All right, everyone, that's about it for this matter."

"It's confidential, so please don't spread it around when you leave."

"Especially regarding the matter of Young Master Li Tian, I hope everyone will keep it a secret and not let Emperor Song find out."

Finally, the meeting dispersed, and the Night Gods went their separate ways.

Chen Chang'an also wanted to leave, but just as he was about to go, he was stopped by someone.

The person was not wearing a mask and looked somewhat delicate. He was a man.

"Are you the new Night God chosen by Shen Hao Da Zun?"

The person said.

"And you are?" Chen Chang'an looked at the person in front of him, not recognizing him.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Qing Tian Dao Jun, Ghost Wolf!"

Ghost Wolf said, his words filled with curiosity.

The Undying Sword Domain's Ghost Wolf?

Upon hearing Ghost Wolf's words, Chen Chang'an's brow furrowed slightly.

Around Tian Shui Domain, there are several major domains like this.

They are the Evil Ghost Domain, the Azure Domain, the Heavenly Origin Domain, the Central Divine Domain, the Green Domain, the Fur Domain, and the Dead Sea.

Chen Chang'an had learned about this from the information left by Dao Tian Lao Ren.

These seven domains and Tian Shui Domain are all part of the same alliance.

Collectively known as the Central Divine Court.

And within the Central Divine Court, the eight divine seats are each held by a Night God.

These eight Night Gods are divided into two batches.

The first batch is the first batch where Dao Tian Lao Zu is located, the Upper Divine Court, or simply the Upper Gods.

To possess an Upper Divine Court, one's cultivation must have reached the Seventh Realm of the Dao Lord!

In the Central Divine Court, there are a total of three Upper Divine Courts, and Dao Tian Lao Zu is one of them!

With three equal powers, the pattern of the Central Divine Court is formed.

Apart from this batch of Upper Divine Courts, the other batch of Night Gods is the Lower Divine Court, or simply the Lower Gods.

The cultivation of the Night Gods in the Lower Divine Court is generally at or above the Sixth Realm, even at the peak of the Sixth Realm.

Chen Chang'an has now inherited Dao Tian Lao Zu's mask and received his Dao, naturally replacing Dao Tian Lao Zu as one of the gods in the Divine Court.

Similarly, this Ghost Wolf named Qing Tian Dao Jun is also one of the eight gods in the Central Divine Court.

The reason he stopped Chen Chang'an was to get to know him.

"Oh, that's me. Let me introduce myself. My surname is Hua, called Hua Wuque, codenamed Sanhe Dashen. Fellow Daoist can just call me Chang Ge."

Seeing that the other party had no ill intentions, Chen Chang'an also showed his goodwill and bowed.

Uh!

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Qing Tian Dao Jun was speechless for a moment.

So, should I call you Hua Wuque or Sanhe Dashen or Chang Ge?

What's the connection between all these things you've said?

"I don't know why Fellow Daoist is looking for me?" Just as Qing Tian Dao Jun was complaining, Chen Chang'an asked.

Now it was Qing Tian Dao Jun's turn to be puzzled.

He looked at Chen Chang'an and asked in confusion, "Venerable Chang Ge, don't you really know?"

"Because of Shen Hao Da Zun's departure, a position of the Upper Divine Court has suddenly become vacant in the Central Divine Court!"

"Xiang Li Da Zun and Wang Sheng Da Zun have already united with other Night Gods and are preparing to take away your position as an Upper Court God!"

"They are expected to take action in the near future!"

Buzz!

As Qing Tian Dao Jun spoke, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out at the scene.

It wasn't coming from Qing Tian Dao Jun himself.

It was coming from inside Chen Chang'an's mask.

Chen Chang'an sent his divine sense into the space inside the mask and saw a message.

It was a message transmitted by someone named Xiang Li Da Zun.

"I heard that Venerable Chang Ge has taken office, and I, as an old man, bring all the Night Officials of the Divine Court to congratulate Venerable."

"We have already set up a banquet in the Divine Court and hope that Venerable will honor us with your presence."

And the signature was the Central Divine Court!
