At this time, Liu Mo Chen whispered, “Qi Kong, how much benefit did you give him?”

Qi Kong smiled bitterly and said, “Master, you also know this rule. If you don’t give them any benefits, these people will be called to work hard to build a martial arts arena. The benefits can’t be reduced!”

Liu Mo Chen said angrily, “A bunch of bandits! They want our sects to work hard to build a martial arts arena. Even a laborer from Li Tian Sect is reluctant to help. This is really bullying!”

Qi Kong said bitterly, “There’s nothing we can do. Who called them the Li Tian Sect? We can only submit!”

Qin Fei finally understood that when the Li Tian Sect held a grand gathering, they had to send people from each sect to decorate the venue. This was truly stingy and awesome. Without any preparation, he had to squeeze the other sects everywhere. This was the most impressive choice!

Qi Kong sighed and helplessly said to Qin Fei, “You have also seen that all sects are enslaved in the eyes of the Li Tian Sect. Even a small steward of the Li Tian Sect regards this sect as an ant.”

Qin Fei nodded. How could he not see it? It seemed that Qi Kong attached such importance to him for a reason.

The official competition began three days later. The main reason why everyone had to arrive early was to get the labor officers from the various sects.

Everyone was resting in the courtyard. They were not allowed to leave their own courtyards without strict orders. Otherwise, they would be disobeying orders and the Li Tian Sect would impose heavy penalties.

When it was almost dark, Manager Cheng came again. He was still arrogant and arrogant. He looked at everyone coldly and raised his head with his chest propped up like a king inspecting a citizen. Although Qi Kong was very displeased, he had no choice but to pretend to be humble and respectful to him.

Manager Cheng said, “Tonight, the Li Tian Sect will hold a welcoming banquet for each sect. Prepare yourself well and enter the venue in half an hour. When that time comes, I will come and bring you over!”

Without waiting for everyone to speak, he turned around and left. Qi Kong hurriedly and respectfully escorted him to the entrance of the courtyard, his face full of smiles.

When he walked away, Qi Kong turned around, the charming smile on his face disappearing, covered in dark clouds.

Liu Mo Chen and the other Grand Elders were also worried, as if this banquet was a Hongmen banquet.

Qin Fei was puzzled. Qi Kong explained in a low voice, “The so-called welcome banquet is actually a gift party. The Holy Spirit Sect is bleeding again!”

With that said, even if they understood, it was no wonder that everyone was so worried. The food at the banquet was not delicious!

Qi Kong and a group of Supreme Elders entered the hall to discuss the gift-giving. Qin Fei and the other participating disciples went back to their rooms and waited.

Half an hour later, Steward Cheng brought everyone to the banquet hall. When he passed through the plaza, he saw that the teleportation formations had been taken away. Eight high platforms were being built in the middle of the plaza. The selected disciples were busy with their work. It was not an easy task to set up a martial arena. Stones were special materials that could withstand the destruction of people during battles, and then they had to set up various restriction formations.

Qin Fei saw a group of disciples of the Li Tian Sect working as supervisors around the stone platform. They were like looking after slaves. He couldn’t help but curl his lips and thought to himself that the world was really dark. The Li Tian Sect was simply a manifestation of the exploiting class.

However, no one spoke much. They were already used to seeing this situation, and their hearts were numb.

After passing through the plaza, he walked into a huge palace. There were already tables and chairs arranged inside. There were Li Tian Sect disciples busy inside, setting up everything needed for the banquet.

The hall was magnificent and shining with golden light. Pearls the size of fists were embedded everywhere on the walls, releasing a gentle light. On the dome was a giant painting, a picture of dragons and phoenixes flying in the sky, and it was majestic and vast.

Qin Fei couldn’t help but curl his lips, because he saw some female disciples of other sects walking on the floor. The scenery under their skirts was boundless, and many men lowered their heads with all their might. Everyone knew what they were paying attention to.

Qi Kong brought the people from the Holy Spirit Sect to a corner to take their seats. The seats for the banquet were all set according to the previous rankings, so they could only sit at the furthest corner, far away from the chairman of the banquet.

As soon as he sat down, Bao You of Huaqing Pavilion took a seat beside him with a group of disciples. Bao You clasped his fists towards Qi Kong and said, “Hello, Brother Qi!”

Qi Kong smiled and said, “Hello, Brother Bao!”

Bao You looked around and smiled, “Brother Qi, I wonder what kind of big gift you’ve prepared this time.”

Qi Kong glanced at him and said, “Brother Bao, you’re overthinking it. What kind of gift are you going to announce when the time comes? Brother Bao must be well prepared this time, right?”

Bao You Zai said proudly, “I’m not as rich as Brother Qi. I can do anything!”

“Hmph! Are the two penultimate two more interesting than giving gifts here?” At this moment, a cold snort came from the side. Another sect member sat outside the three tables next door. One of the middle-aged men with a gloomy expression said mockingly.

Bao Youzai and Qi Kong were both enraged. Both of them stared at each other and said in unison, “Xiang Tian, don’t be complacent. This time, we will definitely defeat your Frost Mountain Sect!”

Xiang Tian smiled disdainfully, “That depends on your ability, but I think Xuan ah, my Frost Mountain Sect is ranked 295th right now, your chances are slim! Moreover, you are improving, my Frost Mountain Sect is not lazy, you are not worthy of being my opponent!”

After saying that, Xiang Tian stood up and walked over to Holy Spirit Sect. His gaze swept across everyone’s faces. Seeing that Qin Fei was a complete stranger and did not perform well at all, he smiled disdainfully, “Qi Kong, it seems like you Holy Spirit Sect are getting worse and worse every year. Did you send such a little fellow to participate in the competition this time to watch the show?” “Tsk tsk, with the strength of the second stage of Life Change, you’re simply here to play soy sauce. You won’t be able to last a single move even if you go on stage!”

Qin Fei didn’t react when he heard this. It was a waste of saliva to talk to such a person.

Qi Kong sneered and said, “Xiang Tian, don’t be complacent. I don’t need you to care who I choose to attend the grand gathering. You should care more about the people who care about you.”

“Haha, Qi Kong, you really know how to joke. For this kid, even the weakest disciple of our Cold Mountain Sect can beat him down and bark like a dog. Do you believe me?” Xiang Tian laughed wildly.

‘”Haha, Sect Master is absolutely right. When the time comes, I will challenge him. I will beat him until his mother doesn’t even know him. I promise that I will make him bark like a dog and kowtow in front of him and admit defeat!” A disciple of the Cold Mountain Sect laughed wildly.

Xiang Tian looked at him with satisfaction. He felt that he was very likeable and knew how to cooperate with him. He praised, “Huang Weimeng, do we need to keep a low profile? Just let him bark like a dog at that time. Just kowtow. This will make Sect Master Qi lose face. We have to take care of Sect Master Qi and the entire Holy Spirit Sect!”

Hearing this, the disciple named Huang Weimeng nodded and said, “Sect Master is right! Disciple will definitely take good care of Sect Master Qi’s face!”

Qi Kong flew into a rage. Just as he was about to get up and scold him, Qin Fei said calmly, “Master, please calm down. We won’t argue with them. When the time comes, the competition will let everyone know who will learn how to bark like a dog!”

Qi Kong was persuaded by him to nod and sit down again, too lazy to pay attention to the other party.

Xiang Tian felt bored when he saw Qi Kong refusing to take a move. He looked at Bao You and swept his gaze around. He shook his head disappointedly and said, “They’re all trash. It’s not worth mentioning. If you say too much, you’ll waste Ben Sect Master’s saliva. It’s better to go back and drink some water!”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back. The disciples on Bao You’s side were all furious. The other party was truly too arrogant.

Bao You glared at the disciples and said, “Don’t move, don’t fall for his trap!”

Only then did the disciples stabilize and remain motionless, their eyes filled with killing intent.

Actually, this wasn’t just happening here. Almost every part of the hall was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Each sect was very unhappy with each other.

Qi Kong said to Qin Fei, “Actually, apart from ranking, there is something more important in every grand gathering. The Li Tian Sect hopes that the various sects under their command will not fight with each other randomly. If there are any problems, they can resolve their grievances at the grand gathering and let everyone vent their grievances. This way, there won’t be too much chaos within the jurisdiction of the Li Tian Sect.”

Qin Fei nodded his head. He thought to himself that this Li Tian Sect was really a good method. This way, not only did he ensure that no major bloodshed would occur in the various sects under his rule, but he could also make the sects not unite with each other. This was more conducive to controlling everyone. It could be said that he killed many people in one go, and his methods were very powerful.
