"It's not too late, it's not too late!"

"Just in time."

Mrs. Huo walked forward, poured three glasses of wine, and drank them all in one gulp: "My younger sister is late, I apologize to you brothers."

Mrs. Huo was followed by Huo Xiuxiu and Jie Yuchen. Jie Yuchen was a little excited when he looked at Er Yuehong. He stepped forward and said, "Master!"

Er Yuehong glanced at Li Yuchen, nodded, then waved his hand, signaling him to leave so as not to affect their reunion as old friends.

Seeing this, Xie Yuchen respectfully stepped back.

Chenpi Ah Si glanced at him and said, "He looks a bit like Master back then!"

Xie Yuchen thought it was a compliment from his senior brother, and when Huo Xiuxiu looked at Wu Xie, she walked straight over.

Huo Xiuxiu poked Wu Xie and asked curiously, "They are...?"

Wu Xie pointed them out to Huo Xiuxiu one by one: "This is Master Hong Er, that is Master Qi Ba, that one is Grandpa Chenpi Si, and the one with the knife box on his back is Master Heibei Liu."

Huo Xiuxiu gasped when she heard this: "Are they all grandfathers?"

Wu Xie nodded, spread his hands helplessly and said: "Why are we standing here? If these big Buddhas sit here, we will be just like minions."

Huo Xiuxiu didn't know much about the older generation of the Nine Sects. When she looked at Er Yuehong, Qi Tiezui, and Blackback Old Six, she couldn't help but wonder, "That can't be, those three don't look like they're over a hundred years old, right?"

Especially when she saw Er Yuehong, Huo Xiuxiu couldn't help but blush. She thought Xie Yuchen was good-looking enough, but she didn't expect there was an even more outstanding person.

Moreover, Er Yuehong seems to be Xie Yuchen's master. Does this mean they are of the same lineage?
Wu Xie pulled Zhang Chulan over and said, "I don't know the details inside either, maybe he knows something."

The reason why Wu Xie pulled Zhang Chulan over was to test whether he knew the inside story.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chulan clapped his hands and said, "I actually know this, it's this price!"

Wu Xie's face darkened when he heard this. He knew that this guy was a money-grubber. "Here you go, but you have to explain the whole story to me."

"Don't worry, Lao Zhang gets paid to do something, so when has he ever been lazy?"

Zhang Chulan took the money and said with a smile, "I was free and saw them in the Heavenly Palace Treasure Pavilion. The reason why these three are young is because they have the blood of divine beasts."

"Bloodline of divine beasts?"

Zhang Chulan nodded: "Yes, it was given to them by an unspeakable great power in heaven."

"For example, the Zhang family has Qilin blood, and these three have Xuanwu blood, Suzaku blood, and Jiaozi blood respectively."

"I guess that Master Qi Ba has the blood of Xuanwu, Master Hong Er has the blood of Suzaku, and Master Heibei Liu has the blood of Jiaozi, right?" Wu Xie guessed.

Zhang Chulan nodded, gave a thumbs up and said, "You guessed it right."

Wu Xie laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "What's the point of saying it's accurate or not? Master Qi Ba is dressed in black, Master Hong Er is dressed in red, and Master Hei Bei Liu's aura of war and murder is almost coming out. If I can't guess it, I'm a fool."

At the table, when everyone was drinking to their heart's content, Blackback Laoliu took off his old coat, revealing an extremely strong upper body covered with scars.

A tattoo of a knife-like iris is vividly spread on the body of Blackback Laoliu, which is full of fierceness.

"This Jiaozi is so fierce!"

Wu Xie swallowed his saliva and frowned, "It seems like he wants to get out and choose someone to devour!"

Even the blade in Jiaozi's mouth made them feel cold in their hearts, as if their necks would be separated at the next moment.

"The Hong family, the Chen family, the Qi family, the Wu family, the Huo family... Now the only one left is the Zhang family who has not come!" Wu Xie said with an uncertain expression.

"Zhang Rishan?"

After Zhang Qiling passed away, Zhang Rishan took charge of the Jiumen Association, served as its president and boss of Qiongqi Company, and is now the head of the Jiumen Zhang family.

Because he is a native of the Zhang family and his face does not age, it is called the Hundred-Year-Old Mountain.

But now, everyone present is an immortal, and Zhang Rishan may not be able to suppress them.

After all, when Zhang Qishan was the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Rishan was just his adjutant.

The banquet was not very elaborate, but it was eaten up by these elders.

"Haha, the head of the Zhang family is so arrogant that he makes so many of us wait for him!" Chenpi A Si said with some disdain.

Mrs. Huo said quietly at this time: "After all, he is the current president of the Nine Gates Association. We are all under his control."

Er Yuehong and Qi Tiezui did not express their opinions but remained silent. After all, they were good friends with Zhang Qishan and it was not easy for them to interrupt.

However, these people also had some resentment towards Zhang Qishan. After all, what Zhang Qishan did later was not fair. If they had not cut off their tracks in time to survive, they would probably have been killed.

But after that incident, many people in the Nine Gates were seriously injured, and many of them were imprisoned.

If Blackback Laoliu had not been so skilled and not aged, and had not chosen to leave his hometown with Qi Tiezui's reminder, he would probably have gone in as well.

What made them even more uncomfortable was that when they saw that it was Zhang Qiling who brought the men, those in the Nine Gates put up little resistance out of trust. They thought that Zhang Qiling would show leniency to them, but who would have thought that Zhang Qiling would be so ruthless.

After that incident, Qi Tiezui and Er Yuehong went abroad and only came back a few times decades later.

Times have changed and things and people are no longer the same.

In fact, several people can see it through. After all, Zhang Qishan may be doing the right thing if he were in the same position. But once there is a knot in the heart, it is not so easy to solve.

Blackback Laoliu's face was even more gloomy at this time, and his expression was as cold as ice.

Just then, the door opened.

As soon as Zhang Rishan entered the door, he saw several older generation family heads looking at him covetously. Although he had expected this, he still couldn't avoid feeling embarrassed.

Fortunately, Zhang Rishan has lived for more than a hundred years and has a thick skin. He clasped his hands and said, "Masters, long time no see, long time no see!"

Then, Zhang Rishan looked at Zhang Qiling and bowed respectfully: "Master!"

Zhang Qiling nodded but said nothing.

"Come on, we dare not accept the gift from the head of the Zhang family. I only have a few years left to live, and I'm afraid it will shorten my life." Old Mrs. Huo said sarcastically.

Zhang Rishan hit a snag, but he didn't refute it. Instead, he looked at Er Yuehong and Qi Tiezui and said, "Second Master, Eighth Master, it's rare for you two to see me."

"Haha, why is it rare? Don't you know it?" Chenpi A Si choked.

Er Yuehong is his master after all. He was forced to flee abroad. If it weren't for Zhang Qishan's powerful influence, Chen Pi and his men would have been in great trouble. They would have had to find trouble with Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Rishan gave Qi Tiezui and Er Yuehong a smile as an apology, and then sat at the table as well, looking at the leftovers without being disgusted and taking a couple of bites.

There was silence for a long time.

He then asked, "Eighth Master, Second Master, you two invited us to gather here. It shouldn't be just for old friends to meet, right?"

Zhang Rishan glanced at Changbai Mountain obscurely, and then said in a deep voice: "There are some things and some bottom lines that cannot be touched!"

"It's not up to you to decide whether or not to touch me!"

"What's more, the Zhang family's patriarch is still here!"

The one who was speaking at this time was Chen Pi. He had no scruples about these things. He brought Zhang Qiling out at this time just to suppress Zhang Rishan.

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Rishan looked at Qi Tiezui and Er Yuehong, trying to find an answer, while Chenpi A Si, Old Lady Huo, and Heibei Lao Liu also looked at them.

After all, this party was initiated by two people, so they naturally had to make their purpose clear. They couldn't make a wasted trip after traveling thousands of miles.

Qi Tiezui and Er Yuehong looked at each other.

Then, Er Yuehong said, "Everyone, my senior brother and I's master is back!"

As soon as the words fell, countless waves were caused.

What kind of person is Qi Tiezui and Er Yuehong’s master? Others may not know, but don’t they know?
The land abandoned by the gods was the work of that person, a figure who could destroy a country, like a god or a devil. Some of the things they created were nothing but small fights in front of that person.

It was the appearance of that person that made Zhang Qishan firm in his idea and persuaded the Nine Gates to start a series of large-scale tomb-robbing activities.

It is to seek the traces of ancient immortals and immortals.

It’s a pity that we returned empty-handed!

The Nine Gates also lost a lot of elite personnel.

Zhang Rishan looked at the two men with a stern face, and asked in a dry voice, "Second Master, Eighth Master, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course there is no reason to lie!"

"This trip is the wish of our master, to completely eradicate the remaining disaster!"

"A legacy of disaster?!"

"Correct!"

Then, Qi Tiezui and Er Yuehong told them the true side of the world, which left Zhang Rishan and the others dumbfounded.

"Is this how my Zhang family's Qilin bloodline came about?" Zhang Rishan fell into deep self-doubt.

At this time, Er Yuehong said: "After eliminating Qiongqi and Luwu, we, the Nine Sects, will still need to eliminate the remaining evil spirits scattered around."

"Restore peace and cleanliness to the world!"

Chenpi Ah Si asked, "What's in it for us?"

Old Mrs. Huo also looked at Qi Tiezui and Er Yuehong with an earnest expression. Aging is a woman's greatest enemy. Doesn't she want to be like Er Yuehong, with eternal beauty and youth?
Only Blackback Laoliu said nothing. The man had saved his life and given him the blood of Yazi, but he was no longer a slave and was at his disposal.

Just the benefits...

Er Yuehong turned his gaze to Zhang Chulan and others.

The emperor certainly understood that he would not have hungry soldiers.

Zhang Chulan spoke at this time and said, "The benefits will depend on your subsequent contributions. In other words, the faster you handle it, the greater the benefits you will get."
