480: C480 Threat

C480 Threat

Dong dong.

The sound of a bell rang out, and the previously rowdy hall instantly fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the stairs to the second floor.

An old man dressed in luxurious clothing walked down the stairs with a disdainful look in his eyes, surrounded by a crowd of people.

"Since even the Patriarch of Zhou Family has come out, it looks like tonight's banquet will be very grand."

"The old master never shows himself. What's going on today?"

"Don't make a sound, I think something will happen tonight."

They had also participated in the Zhou Family's banquet before, but they were all hosted by the current Patriarch.

Now that the old master was personally presiding over the event, one could imagine how grand it was.

Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, the well-dressed old man sat down on the armchair above.

As the main character took his seat, the seats beside him also began to take their seats.

The Patriarchs of the other four families all sat down next to the Grand Preceptor.

The first to take their seats were the father and son pair from Nalan Family, then Wang Family, Xiao Family, and Murong Family.

After that was the second tier families such as Guo Family, and finally the third tier families.

The difference in strength was very clear. One could see the leopard through their seat.

"Nalan Family Master, I thought that I wouldn't be able to see you again after I came out of seclusion."

After a quick glance around, Zhou Shi looked sharply at Nalan Xiong: "I heard that you've already half a foot into the coffin?"

"Hehe, Patriarch Zhou sure knows how to joke around."

Hearing the meaning behind Zhou Shi's words, Nalan Xiong retorted directly, "I should be the one saying that. I thought you, Patriarch Zhou, would stay in seclusion until you entered the coffin."

"Hmph, my strength has already reached the Peak of Middle Period of Bright Strength."

Cold light flashed across Zhou Shi's eyes as he ridiculed, "If I want to kill you, you won't even have the chance to resist."

"Congratulations, Patriarch Zhou."

Feeling the pressure coming from Zhou Shi, Nalan Xiong's face slightly changed, "The information now is instantly changing a thousand times, Patriarch Zhou better not screw himself over."

"Haha, it's just a joke. Master Nalan Family, don't be nervous."

After intimidating Nalan Xiong, Zhou Shi released his intimidating aura. "The information instantly changes a myriad of things. However, in the end, it still comes down to one's strength."

In the face of absolute strength, no matter how powerful your faction is, it will only be your life in the end.

However, what puzzled Zhou Shi was that Nalan Xiong actually dared to refute him under his pressure?

If it was before, he would have given in. But now, he actually refuted it and even dared to threaten him?

Could it be that during this period of time when he was in closed door cultivation, his Nalan Family received some help?

"Father, Lin Fann is here."

Zhou Wu, who had already received the news, walked over and said in a low voice: "The recent upheaval in the Haiyun City is all because of Lin Fann."2

"Alright, I understand."

Zhou Shi nodded and waved his hand. "Are you ready for the things I told you to prepare?"

"Don't worry Father, everything is ready. We will just wait for Lin Fann to appear."

Zhou Wu's eyes were filled with killing intent: "This time, the five great families will have a great reshuffle."

After supporting his son, Zhou Shi's gaze once again fell on Nalan Xiong: "Nalan Family Master, I heard that recently there was a little guy called 'Lin Fann' in Haiyun City who was having a hard time?"

"Patriarch Zhou, you should have already investigated him, right?"

Looking at Zhou Shi's disdainful face, Nalan Xiong laughed, "Since it has already been investigated, why do you need me to tell you?"

"Nalan Family Master, do you know why I held this banquet?"

Looking at the revered faces below, Zhou Shi coldly snorted: "I want to remind some people that they have to recognize their own positions at Haiyun City, don't fight for the position of host."
