Lin Bai and Xu Li learn about the Heavenly Lords, powerful guardians of the Ancient Stele in the Ancestral Temple. As they attend a feast hosted by the Poison God Clan, they observe the arrival of other major forces, including the Emperor Tribe and the Sword Pavilion Clan, realizing the potential for significant shifts in the Southern Continent's power dynamics.

On Yun Tian Peak, a thousand people rose, looking respectfully towards the old and young duo strolling over.

The old man, dressed in a black robe, had a resolute face, sword-like eyebrows turned upwards, full of vigor, looking every bit as strong as ever.

His features were notably domineering, yet he went by the scholarly name Yu Ru.

This man is currently the ruler of the Poison God Clan, the present patriarch.

Walking beside him, the young man had a face as fine as jade, with an extraordinary demeanor, dressed in rich robes, appearing every bit the noble son of a prince.

Although his cultivation wasn’t high, being only at the First Level of the Wending Realm, he could still walk side by side with Yu Ru, the present patriarch of the Poison God Clan, indicating his extraordinarily high status.

He is the most powerful prince in the current Central Holy Nation, the Seventeenth Prince.

Following behind Yu Ru and the Seventeenth Prince were over a dozen warriors, all appearing to be old men.

Xu Li chuckled lightly, "The warriors following Yu Ru Senior, the first is the Grand Elder of the Poison God Clan, followed by the Second Elder, Third Elder, Fifth Elder, Seventh Elder, and the Ninth Elder, while the rest are minor elders."

"Behind the Seventeenth Prince, the one following is Mo Wenshen."

Lin Bai fixed his gaze, observing as his eyes fell upon the Ninth Elder.

For the other warriors, Lin Bai merely glanced briefly at Mo Wenshen, but his gaze lingered more on the Ninth Elder.

After all, the one Lin Bai was most concerned about at this banquet was the Ninth Elder.

Yu Ru and the Seventeenth Prince walked gracefully down the Gu Dao, approaching the Dragon Patterned Table, exchanged smiles, and then sat down.

Currently, all the Dragon Patterned Tables had been occupied by warriors.

But only the Python Engraving Table was still vacant.

After sitting down, the Seventeenth Prince’s gaze focused as he looked towards the Python Engraving Table, laughing lightly, "Yu Ru Senior, have the warriors from the Ancestral Temple of the Southern Province not arrived yet?"

Yu Ru laughed lightly, "I had already sent people to notify them in advance, and the seniors from the Ancestral Temple also mentioned they would attend, but now they haven’t arrived at the Poison God Clan, seems like they might be delayed by something."

The Seventeenth Prince was taken aback, "Is that so?"

Yu Ru laughed lightly, "Seventeenth Prince, strictly speaking, the Ancestral Temple of the Southern Province isn’t a power on the Nanzhou Continent. They prefer the Nanzhou Martial Artists to call them outsiders. If possible, they wouldn’t want to get involved in the changing tides of the Barbaric Ancient Continent."

The Seventeenth Prince chuckled softly, "Who wouldn’t say so? But we were born in this moment, grew up at this time, how can we escape the turmoil of this world just by wanting to?"

"When the time comes to face it, we still have to face it."

"Don’t you agree? Yu Ru Senior."

Faced with the Seventeenth Prince’s sharp words, Yu Ru’s face also wore a light smile.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry, I’m late."

Just at this moment.

When all the warriors heard Yu Ru and the Seventeenth Prince discussing the Dao, they didn’t dare to make a sound. Yet at this moment, a loud male voice echoed atop Yun Tian Peak.

"Who is this so lacking in respect?"

"In such a setting, how can this be the time for you to shout and yell?"

"Who wants to die?"

The warriors in the audience glared angrily.

Even the Seventeenth Prince and Yu Ru glanced sideways.

At this time, from the Gu Dao on Yun Tian Peak, a young man with a mischievous smile jogged in, sweating profusely.

This man cupped his fists and called out, "I’m exhausted, running all the way here, it’s really far, Yu Ru Senior, why didn’t you choose a better place, do you have to be here?"

Yu Ru looked at him, laughing lightly, "It’s great that you could make it."

The Seventeenth Prince was taken aback and asked, "Yu Ru Senior, who is this?"

At the banquet, Xu Li glanced at this person, whispering, "The warrior from the Ancestral Temple of the Southern Province has arrived, but I didn’t expect it to be a young man, not ’Heavenly Lord Not Looking’ or ’Heavenly Lord Not Listening’?"

Lin Bai looked at this person and spoke in shock, "Shangguan Cun!"

This young person was indeed Shangguan Cun, whom Lin Bai had briefly met at the Monarch’s Birthday Celebration of the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures.

Yu Ru, facing the Seventeenth Prince’s inquiry, immediately smiled, "Seventeenth Prince, let me introduce you, this is the accomplished disciple of the Ancestral Temple of the Southern Province, named Shangguan Cun."

Shangguan Cun smiled, "Greetings to the Seventeenth Prince."

"So it’s the accomplished disciple of the Ancestral Temple of the Southern Province, I stand corrected." The Seventeenth Prince stood up, smiling lightly, "However, I’ve heard that the two Heavenly Lords within the Ancestral Temple of the Southern Province are among the strongest on the current Barbaric Ancient Continent, I thought I would be lucky enough to see them today, but did not expect..."

The Seventeenth Prince chuckled softly, murmuring in a low voice.

Shangguan Cun understood immediately, thinking the Seventeenth Prince somewhat underestimated him, and retorted with a smile, "I also heard that the Crown Prince of the Central Holy Nation is famed for his wisdom. When the Poison God Clan sent word that a prince from the Central Holy Nation was coming, I thought it would be the Crown Prince, but didn’t expect... hehe..."

"Made me come here on a fool’s errand."

Shangguan Cun was also murmuring in a low voice, not showing any respect to the Seventeenth Prince with his words.

Yu Ru sighed wryly, casting a glance at Shangguan Cun, hinting him not to be presumptuous.

But Shangguan Cun sneered dismissively, ignoring Yu Ru’s warning, and continued on his own way.

The Seventeenth Prince smiled slightly and said, "My Imperial Brother indeed has a brilliant reputation, on that point, you’re not wrong."

"Earlier, I misspoke, I hope Brother Shangguan can forgive."

Shangguan Cun smiled and sat at the Python Engraving Table, grinning, "I forgive you."

The Seventeenth Prince was once again surprised upon hearing this, originally intending to give Shangguan Cun a way out, but didn’t expect Shangguan Cun to leave him no face at all.

This instantly dissolved any favorable impression the Seventeenth Prince might have had upon meeting Shangguan Cun.

The Seventeenth Prince sat at his seat, his face ashen.

At this moment, Mo Wenshen, sitting beside the Seventeenth Prince, spoke coldly, "Although we are guests, is this how Nanzhou welcomes guests? Is this the attitude of the Ancestral Temple’s warriors when faced with a prince of the Central Holy Nation’s Imperial Clan?"

Upon hearing Mo Wenshen’s words, the situation in the room seemed to become tense again.

The Seventeenth Prince remained silent, clearly acknowledging Mo Wenshen’s questioning.

Yu Ru’s expression did not change, nor did he respond.

Instead, Shangguan Cun, holding a wine pot in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, looked at Mo Wenshen and laughed, "Then what? Is everyone supposed to fall to their knees before the Central Holy Nation like you and beg to be accepted as a dog?"

Mo Wenshen, hearing these words, flew into a rage, slamming the table, stood up, and a wave of Sword Intention burst forth, glaring angrily at Shangguan Cun, and coldly said, "What did you say!"

Shangguan Cun, with his mouth oily, took a swig of wine and laughed, "Do I need to say the things of the past? Doesn’t Mo Wenshen know the two phrases, ’betrayal for personal gain’ and ’shameless’?"

P.S.; The Emperor Sword reinstalled his computer, not sure if it’s a system issue or a keyboard issue, suddenly the colon key doesn’t work, can only use commas instead.

Once things settle down, the Emperor Sword will reinstall the system again.

Hopefully, it won’t cause too much trouble for everyone’s reading experience.
