Chapter 588: Calamity

In the center of the grand hall, there was a large round table, where seven people were seated. At the main seat sat an old man with white hair and a white beard, his face full of vigor. He was Lan Qintian, the Sect Hierarch of the Divine Poison Sect.

Seated to the right of Lan Qintian was his granddaughter, Lan Yaoyao, the Saintess of the Divine Poison Sect, and to his left was the Protector Elder, the Gu witch. The rest of the Hall Masters were seated casually.

Although Lan Qintian had invited the Hall Masters under the pretense of celebrating his granddaughter Lan Yaoyao's birthday, some saw it as potentially a set-up for a trap.

Therefore, the entire banquet was tense from beginning to end. Each Hall Master kept to themselves, and no speeches were made. Only Lan Qintian occasionally cracked a joke or two, but he spoke only of trivial matters and did not mention anything about internal affairs of the sect.
