After the banquet ended, Ling Chen led the group from the Witch Gate back to the inn.
Although there were some discordant episodes in between, for the younger generation of the Witch Gate like Chen Qingzhi and Qin Yiren, this banquet broadened their horizons. At the very least, they made connections with so many young talents from various families, giving them insight into the strength and depth of the younger generation of Nine Provinces' families.
Understanding the kind of opponents they'll face allows them to go further in the Nine Streams Tournament.
Inside a luxurious guest room.
Ling Chen sat cross-legged on the wooden bed. On his body, scarlet threads flickered, resembling fireflies in motion.
At his Dantian location, a pool of fiery red energy coiled, akin to a cluster of flames, emitting exceedingly hot waves.
This energy was the Fire Poison that Ling Chen absorbed from Shen Bingxin's body back on Lingyue Island.
