"Greetings, everyone! It has been quite a while!"
Just as tension began to mount dramatically, and when a few of the young guest monks were about to fetch their elders, Chu Liang's hearty laugh seized everyone's attention.
When the team from Shu Mountain had originally entered, no one paid much attention to them. After all, the tension between the Heavenly King Sect and Thunder Fortress was at its peak.
Now, all eyes were on him, and surprised expressions started to emerge.
Most of the Immortal Sects present had personally witnessed Shu Mountain's victory those years ago, so they naturally held a deep impression of Chu Liang and were aware of his past disappearance.
Who would have imagined they would see him at this year's Heavenly Banquet?
Chu Liang's appearance prompted a stir among the crowd. He stepped forward to pay his respects, before handing over the Token of the Circle of Immortal Friends to Feng Chaoyang.
"What is this?" Feng Chaoyang asked.
