Long Live Summons

“No, but Dugu Chang Feng asked me to go to the White River City, so I think I will make my way there soon. If Country Lord Qinglang has any good suggestions, perhaps you can let Titan know about it. I’m pretty curious to see some good spots, after all,” Yue Yang denying that he had any intent in coming here was a lie that was not bought by them. However, they could believe the fact that he was invited over since it appeared as he didn’t know anything about the real situation of the Heavenly Splendour Territory.

“Dugu Chang Feng? The Young Master Chang Feng of the Four Major Families in the Heaven Realm?” Lord Louluo asked with some uncertainty.

“Country Lord Louluo has seen him before?” Yue Yang pretended to be surprised.

“No, but it seems that VIPs from the Four Major Families have been guests of the Sacred Light Domain Emperor before, butI don’t know if Young Master Chang Feng was in that list,” Lord Louluo mainly wanted to find out Yue Yang’s identity through these bits of information.

“This damned snake-haired man is probably him. Besides him, very few people from the Four Major Families would run around like a fool. White River City is quite far away from here and there is no portal I could use to get there, so I was wondering if there are any special places or scenic spots nearby? Otherwise, sitting on the airship and flying slowly every day will really be boring and cramping,” Yue Yang’s words made Country Lord Qinglang and the other two secretly happy.

If they couldn’t foil the birthday banquet, they were going to find a way to lure the Young Master Titan into their hands!

Although a drop of Divine Blood was good, this Young Master Titan had more than one drop of Divine Blood. If they could please him, maybe some of his treasures would leak out to their hands and they would be able to earn a profit that could last their lifetimes!

Not to mention anything else, if they could establish a good relationship with a high-ranking noble of the Heaven Realm, that would already be the best reward!

If the Young Master Titan didn’t like anything, then that would just mean no profits; but if he were to adore something, then nothing could go wrong after that,

“How can the scenic spots in the Lower Heaven Realm be compared to the Upper Realm? However, there are some places in the Heavenly Splendour Territory that are a rare sight. If you are talking about treasure hunting, perhaps Young Master Titan can try going to the Wind Stopping Swamp. It is said that there are still the remains of Gods hidden there. Of course, that was a legend that originated ten thousand years ago and it has never been confirmed. If Young Master Titan is interested, Qinglang would like to accompany the Young Master Titan to drop by this location and explore its secrets,” Qinglang’s words were too extreme and it almost made the Country Lord Zhi Feng explode on the spot.

In your dreams!

Are there ever any guests like you? In my residence, you open your mouth in front of other people to snatch the host’s esteemed quest?

You can be shameless, but you can’t be that shameless! Where do you think you are? This place belongs to me!

Country Lord Zhi Feng was really angry.

He almost punched him there and then.

“It’s good that Country Lord Qinglang is very interested to help, but when it comes to the Wind Stopping Swamp, no one can be as familiar about it as my Lord!” Zhu Guang pressed her small hand lightly on the Country Lord Zhi Feng’s own hands, indicating that he should not get angry. Even if the other party wanted to play tricks on them, as the host and the Country Lord of this current residence, he had his perks and he could outmanoeuvre them.

“Hahaha, that’s right. The Wind Stopping Swamp is under the jurisdiction of our this Country Lord. If brother Titan is interested in visiting that spot, how could Zhi Feng not accompany you? Wouldn’t that seem like the friendship of this Country Lord is not genuine to extend our hospitality and care towards our esteemed guest? Instead, I didn’t think that Country Lord Qinglang was that interested and keen on scenic locations in my country,” Because of Zhu Guang’s quick-thinking response, Country Lord Zhi Feng was in a very good mood. He laughed and counterattacked as he nodded to Yue Yang again, “Zhi Feng grew up here and is most familiar with the Wind Stopping Swamp. I was granted the title ‘Zhi Feng’ on the same day the Sacred Light Domain Emperor was conferred. As a Country Lord, I shouldn’t be selfish and will share the pleasures of the country with brother Titan.”

“Actually, it doesn’t matter to me whether there are the remains of a God or not. As long as I can see some picturesque sceneries and landscapes that are unique, that would be more than enough,” Yue Yang stated that he did not believe that there would not be the remains of a God there. Not only him, but even the Country Lord Zhi Feng and the others don’t believe it. Seriously, if there were such things, the mutts from the Central Palace would have bombarded and tarnished the area long ago.

However, the Wind Stopping Swamp was indeed full of strange phenomena.

It was true for it to be depicted as a mysterious place!

“After the birthday banquet, Zhi Feng will accompany the brother Titan to enjoy the surrounding scenic spots,” Zhi FEng declared his promise as a Country Lord.

“I’m also willing to go together,” Qinglang and the other two Lords naturally refused to back down from such a profitable exchange.

“With everyone accompanying me on my journey, naturally, I’m delighted to welcome you,” Yue Yang carried himself with the demeanour of a famous noble family and responded appropriately, but he had a slightly hardened expression on his face when it came to the three Country Lords Qinglang, Wanjiao, and Louluo’s requests. His facial expressions seemed troubled as if he was not in a good position to refuse, so he could only nod hesitantly. Once that was said and done, the Country Lord Zhi Feng felt that it was such a shame to have to go on a trip with the other three as well.

The birthday banquet gradually reached its climax between the cups of wine and platters of food.

Zhu Guang, who was praised and congratulated by numerous Lords, Heaven Rankers and warriors, was very happy with how the day went.

Even while she was dancing in public as she trailed the beautiful music, her steps were graceful, as if going to ride the wind at any time. Her movements were fluttering like a fairy and it was truly nothing short of amazing.

Country Lords Qinglang and the other two looked at her and the colour of desire that they hid in the depths of their eyes became stronger. When they looked at each other, they all nodded slightly as if they had a plan. Country Lord Zhi Feng saw it in his eyes and was secretly vigilant. His most trusted Captain of the Guard, Yu Chao, who had the strength of a 4th Level Heaven Ranker, was unwilling to lead the army as a Commander as he was only loyal to the Country Lord Zhi Feng as a Captain. The Captain personally led 18 Generals that were all Heaven Rankers and dozens of City Lords with Quasi-Heaven Ranks, guarding in front of the Hall of Glory where the Divine Blood was situated.

Several Feudal Lords who came from nearby territories all stepped forward to congratulate the Country Lord Zhi Feng and expressed their respect towards the Young Master Titan.

This banquet was still held during the times of war, otherwise, there would have been more Feudal Lords arriving.

Some of the Feudal Lords were quite powerful, but unfortunately, with the three Country Lords of Qinglang, Wanjiao and Louluo present, they were destined to not have the possibility to shine. These Feudal Lords also backed down obediently— they ate, drank and had fun on their own, giving up the battle for the drop of Divine Blood.

“My Lord, Young Master Titan gifted you the Divine Blood as a sign of congratulations; why don’t you invite the Young Master out to the Hall of Glory and show all the distinguished guests around to present your supreme glory?” Zhu Guang smiled slightly with the fragrance of her perspiration after the dances and said with a sweet smile. As long as they took out the Divine Blood and had the Young Master Titan pass it on personally to the Country Lord Zhi Feng, then it would be the climax of the entire birthday banquet. At that time, the celebratory ceremony that the servants rehearsed early on in shouting ‘long live the Country Lord’ will start grandly.

“It’s nothing serious, it’s just a meagre gift,” Despite him saying so, on Yue Yang’s face, it expressed the emotion of ‘I love and adore praises the most, hurry up and thank me for this wonderful gift’. No matter how humble he appeared on the outside, his inner persona was completely different.

“Brother Titan has given us such a big gift; if brother Zhi Feng does not sincerely express my gratitude, I’m afraid that all subjects under the Heavens would laugh at me for being rude.”

The Country Lord Zhi Feng saw that Yue Yang was secretly beaming and he took a glance to see if Sky Execution had a different opinion. Sure enough, he remained expressionless like he did before.

Feeling that this drop of Divine Blood will still definitely fall into his pocket. Even if Young Master Titan were to secretly hand it to him, Sky Execution would have no objections either.

The most important part was that someone with the status like Young Master Titan had made the declaration to give the Country Lord a gift. If Qinglang, Wanjiao and Louluo dared to make a move, it would be unforgivable. With the Young Master Titan, plus the three beings like the Dragon Emperor, Sky Execution and the Underworld Emperor, whoever dared to snatch the Divine Blood on the spot would be slapped! That would be a provocation to their supreme beings of the Heaven Realm, which would also be considered arrogant, disrespectful and absolutely not permitted to tolerate.

With the three of them here, even if Country Lord Qinglang and the other two desire the Blood that badly, how would they dare to act otherwise?

Country Lord Zhi Feng stood up and came to Yue Yang in person as he got ready to accept the Divine Blood.

Zhu Guang also stood behind the Country Lord Zhi Feng, showing a submissive look.

Qinglang and the others didn’t bother to hide the jealousy in their eyes, but there was nothing they could do. Sky Execution alone was enough of a headache and there was only a drop of Divine Blood. Who would be willing to intercept the three powerful enemies like Sky Execution Long Xuan and the Underworld Emperor, and let their companions capture the Divine Blood?

What’s more was that the Country Lord Zhi Feng’s strength shouldn’t be underestimated.

If that guy Yu Chao were to add in the extra resistance, then it was very likely for them to be stuck in the Green Willow Country’s Palace.

Despite their resentment, Qinglang, Wanjiao and Louluo stood up, smiled, and clapped their hands to congratulate Zhi Feng, expressing their willingness to see such a grand event.

Chief Steward Ye was so excited at the fact that he was fortunate enough to obtain the position of holding onto the Divine Blood because of his achievements in getting to know Young Master Titan. Accompanied by the Captain of the Guard, Yu Chao, he first bowed slightly to the congratulatory treasures presented by the Heaven Rankers and paid a sign of deep respect to the jade bottle containing the Divine Blood. After three counts, he took a slow breath. With trembling hands, he held up the precious congratulatory gift that had never been seen before. Although the Divine Blood was light, it came with a golden treasure box to block its overwhelming energy. Though it didn’t pose any other effect or add much weight to it, Chief Steward Ye felt like his hands were carrying the heavy responsibility of ensuring the treasure’s prime state.

From the innermost part of the Hall of Glory, there stood the Young Master Titan.

Though it was a short journey that lasted no more than ten metres, Chief Steward Ye felt that this was the longest journey in his life.

Of course, if he could, he could go on like this all his life and never get tired of it, but of course that thought was impossible. Approaching the Young Master Titan’s side, Chief Steward Ye’s pace became steadier. He was going to use his most respectful gesture to pay homage to this distinguished guest from the Upper Heaven Realm and then hand over the Divine Blood to this generous Young Master, who would officially transfer it to his Country Lord Zhi Feng, completing the climax of the entire birthday banquet.

He was getting close.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, Chief Steward Ye forcibly suppressed his breathing and heartbeat.

With the calmest demeanour in his life, he strode up and walked towards the Young Master Titan, doing all the etiquettes that a Chief Steward should do.

“How bold of you!”

Sky Execution suddenly broke out angrily with a shout.

There seemed to be a wave of ripples in the space and a transparent shadow that slid in from outside the hall had instantly went straight to the bright hall, pouncing on Chief Director Ye who was holding onto the Divine Blood.

Just when the transparent shadow’s hand quickly touched the golden box in the hands of Chief Steward Ye, the man himself didn’t even notice. However, Qinglang and the other Heaven Rankers saw that the two, the Dragon Emperor and the Underworld Emperor, who had been hidden until summoned by the Young Master Titan, had flashed out as their angry fists bombarded behind the transparent shadow. The moment when the transparent shadow punched, the Dragon Emperor and the Underworld Emperor had already pressed it to the ground.

Someone wanted to steal the Divine Blood in plain sight?

Why couldn’t they check where they were?

However, just as the thief was caught, another side acted up!
