Chapter 2471: Chapter 2491: Uninvited, they are unwelcome guests

"Do you want to leave first?"

After Lan Xinyu left, Yao Xiong actively asked Lin Chen, "According to that kid, something is likely to go wrong at the banquet..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "We’ve come all this way, so let’s just see what happens. If we leave now, how would Aunt Lan view us?"

Yao Xiong frowned and said, "You haven’t joined the Blue God Sect, and even if the sect encounters a calamity, it has nothing to do with you. If the Blue God Sect can’t withstand it, your staying won’t be of any help and will only increase the danger unnecessarily."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It’s fine. If there’s really trouble, I have ways to ensure my own safety."

Yao Xiong couldn’t persuade Lin Chen and knew he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve, so he didn’t try to convince him further. Instead, he cautioned again, "If you insist on staying, should any danger arise, don’t worry about anything else. Just ensure your own safety."

"Alright!"

Lin Chen readily agreed, but thought to himself, if there really was trouble, even if he had to make a run for it, could he possibly leave you behind?

You’re going to be my father-in-law. If something happens to you, wouldn’t Yao Xuanji be living in sorrow forever?

In the following days, Lin Chen and the others didn’t leave the Blue God Sect. After all, he had killed two of their people, and they were probably looking for him everywhere!

Wandering outside would just be giving them a chance for revenge, right?

It would be safer to hide out in the Blue God Sect. The only question was what kind of forces and powerhouses were behind that fellow and whether the Blue God Sect could withstand them.

Fortunately, he had already warned the Blue God Sect. They should be prepared to face any possible contingencies, right?

Perhaps it was who looking for trouble?

It can’t possibly be to destroy the sect, right? If that were the case, they surely wouldn’t choose the day of the grand banquet. After all, there would be countless guests on that day. To annihilate the sect, does that mean they intend to kill all the guests and offend countless Xianmen too?

The Lan Zhengwu siblings, having been dealt with by Lan Xinyu, no longer dared to trouble Lin Chen, so the courtyard became quiet.

Soon, the day of the grand banquet arrived, and the guests began to arrive one after another. The entire Blue God Sect was decorated with lights and colors, and the atmosphere was lively.

Lin Chen and the others took their seats at the banquet table, quietly waiting for it to begin.

The Sect Master of the Blue God Sect, He Jingshan, Elder Yin Huizhi, and Elder Pan Shizhao all made their appearances. These three were the pillars of the Blue God Sect.

By noon, most of the guests had arrived, as most had come ahead of time.

He Jingshan, as the Sect Master, spoke on behalf of the Blue God Sect, announcing Lan Xinyu’s promotion to Daluo Initial Immortal and welcoming guests from various sects.

As He Jingshan was speaking, suddenly, a message arrived like lightning from the main gate and hovered in front of He Jingshan.

He Jingshan swept his Divine Sense over it, his expression unchanged. He continued to speak but quickly made his remarks much simpler, concluding his speech shortly after.

Lin Chen, seated among the guests, saw all this and felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

It seemed trouble was indeed approaching.

Sure enough, after He Jingshan stepped down, he let Lan Xinyu take charge of the situation while he rushed to the gate accompanied by Elders Yin Huizhi and Pan Shizhao.

This scene naturally didn’t escape the notice of the numerous guests, who immediately began to whisper among themselves.

"Has some esteemed guest arrived whom Sect Master He and two Elders need to greet personally..."

"I’m also curious. Just who could it be?"

"Their expressions seem quite serious. This doesn’t seem like the welcome of honored guests. Could it be that someone has come looking for trouble?"

Lin Chen and his companions exchanged glances, staying calm and observing the situation.

The main gate of the Blue God Sect.

A group of men and women in black robes stood at the entrance, watching as He Jingshan and others appeared. The leading man laughed heartily, "Sect Master He, today is a day of great joy for the Blue God Sect. We’ve come to offer our congratulations, yet we find ourselves stopped outside the main gate. Is this how the Blue God Sect treats its guests?"

The leading man, in his forties with a square face, exuded a commanding presence. With his hands behind his back, his laughter was unrestrained and tinged with mockery.

He Jingshan said sternly, "We did not invite your Excellency, and with so many people, you don’t seem like you’re here to offer congratulations."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I am an old friend of Lan Xinyu. Knowing of his promotion to Daluo Initial Immortal, such a joyous occasion, I naturally had to come and offer my congratulations. What, are those who come to celebrate but aren’t on the guest list to be turned away?"

He Jingshan frowned and asked, "You know Elder Lan?"

The middle-aged man chuckled, "More than just know— he’s an old friend of many years. What, when a visitor comes to your door, is this how the Blue God Sect responds? Not even allowing the guest to enter?"

He Jingshan’s gaze swept over the people behind the middle-aged man, "And them, are they also friends of Elder Lan?"

The middle-aged man said with a laugh, "They are my subordinates. Now that I’ve gained some prestige, it’s only natural for me to bring my subordinates when I go out. Don’t worry, I’ll give a generous congratulatory gift. We won’t be freeloaders."

He Jingshan hesitated slightly, but thinking that trouble cannot be avoided, and since they had already come, stopping them at the main gate wouldn’t solve any problem and might even lead to ridicule for being cowardly and fearful.

No matter what the other party’s intentions, the Blue God Sect had to deal with it.

He Jingshan waved his hand, "Please come in, gentlemen. However, I’ll be blunt. If you have come with sincere intentions to offer congratulations, as hosts, we will naturally welcome you warmly. But if you have come with unspeakable motives, don’t blame us for the lack of hospitality..."
