Yun Lintian, Xia Nongyue, and Cai Xieren, escorted by Qi Gang, Lan Hanyu, and Long Bing, found themselves in a lavishly decorated hall.
As Yun Lintian's group entered, Qi Zongwen, Qi Jian, Qi Xun, and Qi Mu looked at them. There were also a few unfamiliar figures. With a glance, Yun Lintian could see that they were Chaos Knights.
Qi Zongwen, his gaze fixed on Yun Lintian, gestured for them to approach. "Welcome back, Yun Lintian," he said, his voice a deep, resonant baritone that echoed through the hall. "I trust your journey was enlightening? Unfortunately, we couldn't gather more Chaos Crystals."
Yun Lintian nodded. "It was, Senior," he replied, his voice firm and steady.
Qi Zongwen nodded slowly, his golden eyes gleaming with interest. "I'm eager to hear all about it. But first, let us celebrate your return. A banquet has been prepared in your honor."
