The Banquet

"Xuan Chen, who are these people...?"

Luo Zelong appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, his heart was filled with turbulent emotions!

For some reason, everyone except that cute little beast posed a deadly threat to him.

Keep in mind that this is the Luo Clan's stronghold; to kill him, the Luo Clan's Clan Leader, one would need to be at least at the Spirit Transformation.

Could it be that all these people following Zhang Xuanchen possess the combat power of Spirit Transformation?

Zhang Xuanchen turned his head slightly and followed his gaze.

At this moment, Little Peach was looking at the teleportation hall with a face full of curiosity.

Its terrifying Divine Sense had already probed an area of a thousand miles.

Meanwhile, Great Sage and Abyss Ao were also sizing up the Luo Clan and the others. When they saw someone looking at them, they immediately glared back.

There was not a trace of fear in them.

Zhang Xuanchen was helpless against this. The Luo Clan was strong, but they were beings with inherited memories.

How could I be afraid?

He began by introducing himself:

"Father-in-law, her name is Little Peach, the monkey holding the Golden Cudgel is called the Great Sage, and that one is called Abyss Ao."

They are all Demon Beasts of extraordinary bloodlines, and also members of my Zhang Family.

As Zhang Xuanchen's voice fell, Little Peach, Great Sage, and Abyss Ao clasped their fists in greeting to Luo Zelong and said:

"We have met Clan Leader Luo Clan Leader's Wife."

Luo Zelong chuckled and waved his hand, "No need for formalities."

"Since you are members of the Zhang Family, you are also honored guests of my Luo Clan."

Please feel free to ask if you need anything here.

We, the Luo Clan, will try our best to satisfy you.

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage laughed:

"Haha, then thank you very much, Clan Leader Luo. I have no requests, just let me eat and drink my fill."

Hehehe.

"Haha, that's natural."

After laughing, he looked at Tang Yuntian.

His expression was solemn, and the atmosphere around him was somewhat heavy.

At this time, the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty had changed out of his tattered robes and his injuries had recovered considerably.

However, due to the destruction of the Great Qian Imperial Family and the near-extermination of the royal clan, he had become a homeless dog, and his brows betrayed an unconcealable grief.

The once high and mighty crown prince, surrounded by admirers, is now homeless.

No one could accept that.

Tang Yuntian's performance already proves that he has an excellent character.

Luo Zelong walked up to Tang Yuntian and sighed softly:

"My dear nephew, please accept my condolences."

"Your father and I have known each other for many years. Now that the Great Qian has suffered this calamity, our Luo Clan is deeply saddened."

"But the incident happened so suddenly, there was nothing my Luo Clan could do."

If he had known the news earlier, he would definitely have sent reinforcements to Great Qian.

But there's no chance.

On the day the Devil Race besieged the Great Qian, a highly respected Spirit Transformation Ancestor within the Great Qian betrayed them.

Open the Great Qian Protectorate Formation from within.

On that day, the Demonized Creatures swept in, and within a few short months, the entire Great Qian Dynasty was awash in blood.

The monks fled desperately, and the army collapsed.

In less than a year, the Great Qian had lost half of its territory.

By the time other forces reacted, it was too late to reverse the situation.

"You can stay at the Luo Family during this time without worrying about anything."

As long as you are on Luoshen Mountain, the Luo Clan will do everything in their power to protect you.

Tang Yuntian remained silent for a moment, then bowed solemnly and said:

"Thank you for taking me in, Uncle Luo."

"My father sent me to the Luo Clan before he died, but unfortunately I was chased by Devil Creature on the way."

"If it weren't for Senior Hanyan and Zhang Family Head's rescue, I would have already perished."

"Now that the country is destroyed and the family is ruined, Yuntian has no other wish but to one day personally avenge his enemies and comfort the spirits of his father, Mother Queen, and the countless souls of the fallen in the Great Qian!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zelong looked at Tang Yuntian's bloodshot eyes and patted him on the shoulder:

"Nephew, revenge can be taken."

But we must not let hatred cloud our judgment.

"Right now, the priority is to heal your injuries and improve your cultivation."

As for the expansion of the Blood Demon Empire, my uncle will discuss it with the major powers in a couple of days.

We can't let this continue, or the demonized army will become unstoppable.

Tang Yuntian responded in a low voice:

"I understand, Uncle. If there is a battle to slay demons, you must give priority to your nephew."

The last bit of Dragon Qi and national fortune I possess is of considerable use to the higher-ups of the Great Qian.

My nephew is willing to use himself as bait!

Luo Zelong looked at Tang Yuntian, who remained steadfast, and replied:

"Good."

Not far away, Dongfang Rui noticed the somber atmosphere and gave instructions:

"Xiao Shuang and the others have come from afar and have encountered many dangers along the way; they must be exhausted by now."

"Guards, prepare a banquet to welcome Miss, Son-in-law, Yuntian, and all the distinguished guests!"

Upon hearing the order, a disciple outside the teleportation hall immediately replied:

"Yes, sir!"

Immediately afterwards, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Dongfang Rui looked at Luo Lingshuang, Zhang Xuanchen, and the others and said:

"Let's go to the Guest Welcoming Hall."

After saying that, he took Luo Lingshuang's hand and walked towards the Guest Welcoming Hall.

Half an hour later, the Guest Welcoming Hall was brightly lit.

Dozens of white jade pillars with water patterns are carved with soaring dragons amidst clouds, while the dome is illuminated by a Formation reflects a vast galaxy.

The long table was laden with various Spirit Fruits and delicacies, as well as the Luo Clan's treasured ice spring spirit wine, which had been stored away for many years.

The aromas mingled together, whetting the appetite.

Throughout the event, servants continuously brought out delicacies and placed them on the long table.

The Luo Clan Ancestor was not present at the banquet.

It was somewhat inappropriate for them to be present in this setting, given their status.

Luo Zelong and Dongfang Rui sat in the main seats.

The elders of the Luo Clan, outstanding disciples, and Zhang Xuanchen, Luo Lingshuang, and others lined up in order.

After the banquet began, Dongfang Rui barely touched the food and wine in front of her, instead constantly pulling Luo Lingshuang aside to ask her all sorts of questions.

It was as if they wanted to get to the bottom of Luo Lingshuang's life in the South Sea Immortal Continent.

The Great Sage, however, completely ignored the gazes of the others.

They devoured the Third Stage- or even Fourth Stage delicacies in front of them.

While eating, he muttered, "Xuan Chen, you know what, although these Spirit Meal dishes don't taste as good as the cuisine you invented..."

But it has its own unique charm.

It tastes pretty good.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Luo Zelong's face.

He looked at Zhang Xuanchen and asked:

"Oh? Xuan Chen, you're a Spirit Meal chef?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen replied:

"Father-in-law, I am not Spirit Meal chef and cannot accurately blend the Spiritual Qi of the raw materials."

I just enjoy cooking the dishes I like.

At this moment, Luo Lingshuang spoke:

"Father, you must have noticed the many new types of Spirit Meal that have appeared in the Horizon Restaurant located in various Immortal Cities Market Ward over the years, right?"

"What do you mean? Could it be that the new Spirit Meal created by Horizon Restaurant is related to Xuan Chen?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Luo Zelong's face as he looked at Luo Lingshuang.

Luo Lingshuang nodded with a smile, "That's right."

"Mapo tofu, braised pork, spicy strips, cream milk cake, etc., made with spirit beans were all created by Brother Chen."

The Spirit Meal served at Horizon Restaurant is simply a slight adjustment to this recipe.

"It is precisely for this reason that the Young Masters and ladies of the Horizon Pavilion hold Brother Chen in high regard; my elder brother and Qinghe Aunt should have mentioned this."

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed across Luo Zelong's face.

Luo Yichen didn't tell them about the Horizon Pavilion.

Then, in an instant, I realized something.

Did something unpleasant happen, and that kid didn't dare to say anything?

No wonder the kid kept dodging the question when he asked about Luo Yuanhui's injury.

Noticing Luo Zelong's expression, Luo Lingshuang frowned. "Didn't my brother say anything?"

"Indeed, no. It seems he deliberately concealed some things when he reported to the Hui people back then."

At this moment, Zhang Xuanchen noticed that his brother-in-law, whom he considered a relative by marriage, was not present at the banquet. He put down his wine cup and asked:

"Father-in-law, where is my brother-in-law?"

"Isn't he with the clan?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Lingshuang also looked towards her father.
