Ginger Cloud wasn't exaggerating, but actually had a powerful backing for a desperate counterattack.Especially Huo Duming was astonished that the Flameless Puppet Lamp possessed such formidable power...Hearing the child's voice, Jiang Yun though returned to his senses and saw a nine-story tall tavern standing before him, but his mind was still preoccupied with his grandfather's entry into the imperial mausoleum.

Originally, he always believed that his grandfather came to the Imperial Tomb regardless of danger because he knew he was in peril and saved him.

But the few questions Emperor Xuanyuan asked him suddenly jolted him awake as if from a dream.

Without the Emperor's presence, what kind of crisis would the Mirage Clan face Mu Shu could think of it, Jiang Haochu could think of it, and even the Mirage Demon could think of it.

As the Ling Gong of the Shen Clan and grandfather who lived in the same era as Emperor Xuanyuan, how could he not have thought of it

Will he save himself, even if it means putting hundreds of thousands of his own kind, the Denizens, at risk of extermination

"Senior masters of the mountains!"

That child shouted again towards Jiang Yun, causing Jiang Yun to take a deep breath and address the First Emperor: "Ancestor, I think that grandfather back then probably didn't know the true strength of the Imperial Mausoleum, nor did he know that an emperor would appear in the Imperial Mausoleum."

"My grandfather came because he was worried about my safety, and also because he thought that with his imperial strength, it would be easy for him to rescue me from the Imperial Tombs. There's no danger at all."

However, I didn't expect that Chi Yuezi would suddenly appear, and her strength had even surpassed my grandfather. This left him with no choice but to enter the Imperial Mausoleum in the end.

Moreover, this action of the grandfather also prevented the invasion of the Imperial Tomb and saved all the people in the Four Regions.

Listening to Jiang Yun's explanation, the Emperor Xuanyuan smiled and said, "That's possible too."

"Let's talk about this later!"

Now, you still prepare to face this banquet.

This banquet is no ordinary affair, with several celestial beings present!

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yun temporarily put aside all his thoughts and looked at the restaurant in front of him.

Before he arrived, Ginger Cloud had already learned from Ming Shu that the restaurant where Su Huai'an and others were hosting him was the best in the entire Mirage City.

Even an ordinary meal costs hundreds of Emperor Stones.

The decoration of the wine house is naturally luxurious.

And on the entire exterior wall of the tavern, there were countless runes carved, forming continuous barriers that could resist some attacks and even shield divine senses.

Within, there emanates even more the power of the formation's fluctuations.

However, Ginger Cloud's divine awareness was naturally unhindered, easily breaking through these restrictions and formations, seeing what was inside the tavern.

The restaurant's dining area is very spacious, with each floor able to accommodate over a thousand people.

And at this moment, besides the ninth floor, all the other eight floors are already occupied by quite a number of guests.

The spacious top floor had only twenty or so people.

Apparently, the nine floors of the wine house have been booked by these prodigies.

Outside the wine house's door, stood a beautiful young woman.

The boy who had led Ginger Cloud here had lowered the tree trunk and come before the woman.

The woman greeted them with a bright smile, saying to Jiang Yun, "Senior Mountain Mang, please!"

Ginger Cloud nodded, following behind the woman and entering the tavern. They walked all the way to the top floor.

With the appearance of Jiangyun, everyone who was previously engaged in lively conversation immediately fell silent. All eyes were instantly drawn to Jiangyun.

These people, both male and female, are all young and possess an extraordinary air of elegance.

Although they had all heard of Ginger Cloud's name, everyone except Su Huai'an was seeing her for the first time.

At first glance, most people's faces immediately showed disappointment, and some even shook their heads with a hint of mockery.

Over the past two days, the relationship between Ginger Yun and Ginger Yue Rou has become a hot topic thanks to Su Huai An's intentional promotion. Everyone knows about it now.

Everyone believes that those who can be favored by Ginger Moonruo must be outstanding individuals, each excelling in every aspect.

Keiyun not only dressed simply but also looked much older than her years.

Apart from an air of imposing dignity, there was nothing particularly remarkable about him.

This naturally disappointed everyone! Just then, a hearty laugh rang out: "Hahaha, Brother Shan arrived a bit late, we were waiting for you patiently. We'll have to make you drink three cups of wine later!"

In the midst of their conversation, a figure strode purposefully towards Ginger Cloud. It was Su Huai'an.

Looking at his beaming face and familiar tone, there was no trace of the man who had once wielded a sword against Jiang Yun.

Those who didn't know might think he and Ginger Cloud were old friends.

Su Huai'an continued, "Come come come, let me introduce you all, this is Shan Mang brother brought back by Ling Nü!"

"Mountain Grove Elder, please come have a seat with me!"

Su Huai'an didn't introduce the other prodigies present to Jiang Yun either. He personally led Jiang Yun to the head seat.

Jiang Yun cupped his hands to everyone and said, "My name is Shan Mang. Thank you all for your warm invitation!"

After he finished speaking, he also sat down without being polite.

Su Huai'an sat to his left and shouted to the back, "Waiter, bring us the dishes and wine!"

Immediately, the waiters at the restaurant flitted about like butterflies among flowers, bringing a variety of exquisite dishes and fine wines.

Su Huai'an stood up again, poured a cup of wine for Jiang Yun himself, and raised his own cup: "Brother Shan, I was reckless that day and shouldn't have attacked you."

"Well, we could at least say we know each other now. This drink is on me as an apology."

Jiang Yun, smiling, raised his cup and said, "Brother Su, you flatter me!"

"After Jiang Yun drank the cup of wine, Su Huai'an smiled slightly and said, "Brother Shan, after Brother Shan was taken away by the spirit woman that day, I regretted it, so I specially arranged for someone to investigate Brother Shan's origins."

"It's strange, though. With my Huai clan and the help of many other families present here, I couldn't find out even a sliver of information about Mountain Brother."

This truly piqued my curiosity, so today, I dare to ask senior brother, where do you hail from What clan are you a member of

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "I come from a small place, and my clan is very ordinary. It's not as famous as your clans, so it's normal that Brother Su couldn't find any information about me."

As soon as Jiang Yun finished speaking, a man immediately followed up, "Brother Shan, with all due respect, if you are truly from a small clan and a remote place, then the gap between you and the Spirit Maiden is too great! You two are simply not a match!"

"Not bad!"

"Another person chimed in, "The Spirit Maiden holds a revered position. Her chosen partner represents the face of the Mirage Clan. He shouldn't be too mismatched with her. At the very least, they should be fairly compatible!"

Listening to these people, one after another, making up stories about their own backgrounds and desperately belittling themselves, Jiang Yun couldn't help but find it amusing. He was too lazy to stay any longer.

However, just as he was about to stand up and leave, the voice of Emperor Xuanyuan echoed in his mind: "Jiang Haochu has arrived and is seated on the first layer!"

This sentence stirred something in Ginger Cloud's heart.

This so-called banquet, to put it bluntly, is just a childish game between children. I don't even want to stay here myself, but the Merfolk chieftain would actually come in person! "Could this banquet have other meanings"

Thinking about this, Jiang Yun also temporarily dispelled the thought of leaving. He refocused his gaze on Su Huai'an and the others, pretending not to understand, and furrowed his brow: "What do you all mean by saying so much"

"I'm not very bright, so why don't you just say it straight"

At this point, Su Huai’an finally spoke again: "Although we don't know how you coaxed the Spirit Maiden into liking you, we all understand that you are not worthy of her and it is absolutely impossible for you to be with her."

You climbed onto the Spirit Woman, you're nothing but coveting the power of the Mirage Tribe. You want to hitch your wagon to a star and gain some benefits.

We are not stingy people, so as long as you are willing to leave the Lingnu obediently and never appear in front of her again, we can give you a sum of money.

If you insist on continuing to be with the spirit woman, don't blame us for being impolite.

"Then Ginger Yun revealed a look of understanding and asked, 'How much wealth could you possibly give me' "

Upon hearing Jiangyun's words, a look of disdain appeared on everyone's faces.

Su Huai'an sneered coldly, "Ten thousand Emperor Source Stones!"

Jiang Yun was startled and said, "How much"

Su Huai shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, ten thousand pieces of Emperor Yuan Stone materialized in the air, shimmering brightly.

"$10,000!"ountless hardships and hundreds of years, it has finally arrived today, coming to this paradise and to the side of its parents.At this moment, Jiang Yun truly felt an impulse, wanting to recklessly ru...
