Supreme Divine Book

The sounds of the Purple Dragon Palace disciples notifying the gate were filled with thick excitement and pleasant surprise. All the people in the courtyard lit up in their hearts, as their gazes uniformly swept towards the direction of the main entrance.    

The joyous atmosphere suddenly became abnormally quiet. Wu Changkong, who was going to entertain Ling Fang Tang, Shangguan Jian, Ouyang Qing and Luo Han Yuan into the inner hall, involuntarily stopped in his tracks, and turned around to look ahead.    

Under the gaze of the crowd, Wu Zhongxian slowly stepped onto the stairs and stepped into the Purple Dragon Mansion. Today, he did not wear a monastic robe. Instead, he had changed into a white robe with gold lining. However, his face was still covered by a layer of red gauze, and his angular face was as determined as if it had been cut by a knife.    

Fifteen years. Nearly sixteen years.    

Ever since Dong Wan'er was killed that year, Wu Zhongxian had never stepped into this house again. The hearts of everyone in the Violet Dragon Manor were full of unspeakable sorrow.    

Standing behind the five Palace Chiefs, Shangguan Mian, Ouyang Yu, and the others were all moved. Wu Zhongxian, who was once in high spirits and was still young, had become like this. It was truly a fortuitous event.    

Luo Mengchen gently clenched her jade hands, her beautiful eyes faintly revealing a few indescribable lights.    

Wu Zhongxian walked step by step towards Wu Changkong, who was just in front of him. With a "putong" sound, Wu Zhongxian fell on his knees and heavily kowtowed.    

"Father, your son is unfilial and has caused you to worry about him."    

Wu Zhongxian's hoarse voice instantly moved everyone present, Wu Changkong's body couldn't help but tremble, and his imposing pair of eyes uncontrollably turned red.    

Sixteen years. Nearly sixteen years.    

Although they were both in the The City of Innocence, the distance between father and son was like the ends of the earth. Even if they met face to face, they would still act like strangers. At this moment, Wu Changkong felt as if he was in a dream.    

Her words were unfilial and filled with Wu Zhongxian's endless guilt. A few words that you are worried about, aren't they the words that he wants to express the most in the past few years?    

"Zhongxian." Wu Changkong was now like a good father as he stepped forward to support Wu Zhongxian's arms. His reddened eyes were filled with bitterness and love. It was good that he was back. It was good that he was back. I, your father, have been waiting for this day for a long, long time. "    

The true feelings of father and son caused everyone in the courtyard to be moved.    

A few softhearted women quietly wiped away their tears.    

Palace Chief Luo Chen let out a soft sigh and glanced at his daughter Luo Mengchen with mixed feelings in his heart.    

"I say, old witch!" "You're so old, can you not be so emotional?" "The Lord of the Moyun Manor, Ouyang Qing, is joking around with us." and don't care about how we feel. "    

"That's right, I see that you're about to cry." Dan Hao Mansion Palace Chief Shangguan Jian also started to joke around.    

In recent years, the Five Prefecture Lords had rarely joked about like this. On the other hand, Wu Changkong was a little overwhelmed from their words, and immediately helped to get up.    

"Zhongxian, follow us to the lobby."    

"Yes." Wu Zhongxian nodded. The knot in the heart of the 'father and son' who had hidden in the bottom of his heart for more than ten years was finally resolved.    

"Everyone!" Wu Changkong turned around and said loudly to the guests in the courtyard, "I am sorry that everyone thought highly of me, Wu Changkong, but everyone, please do as you please today. There is no need to be too formal, I will come out later to drink with you!"    

Amidst the joyous congratulations from the crowd, Wu Changkong, Wu Zhongxian and the other higher-ups from the Four Palaces entered the Inner Palace.    

For a great power of the The City of Innocence like the Purple Dragon Palace to hold a birthday banquet and be able to receive an invitation was enough to make all the large and small families feel flattered. As for the other four residences, naturally, they were not on equal footing with the other families. The guests outside would not complain.    

Under Wu Changkong's orders, everyone entered the inner hall. The inner hall's area was very large, simple and ancient. The tables and chairs were all made from top-quality black sandalwood, giving off a scholarly feeling.    

Inside the inner hall, there was a large round table. Around the round table, there were only twenty to thirty people sitting. The table was filled with delicacies from mountains and seas, fine wine from Qiong Yao.    

"My friends, we haven't eaten at the same table in many years, take a seat!"    

Wu Changkong seemed to cherish this opportunity. With Wu Zhongxian's return, his mood was great and his tone of voice became extremely gentle.    

Ouyang Qing, Shangguan Jian, Ling Fangtang, and Luo Hanyuan all looked at each other. Not having any intention of sitting down, the four of them all became serious.    

Shangguan Jian opened his mouth and said, "Wu Changkong, you brought us all here, if you have something to say, just say it!"    

Hearing Shangguan Jian say such words, the upper echelons of the five residences all revealed expressions of astonishment. Shangguan Mian, Ouyang Yu, Ling Wanquan and the others looked at each other. What was going on? Wasn't he here to offer his birthday wishes to Wu Changkong? Why did Shangguan Jian's words seem to have another meaning?    

Shangguan Jian continued, "Wu Changkong, if I remember correctly. Next month's fifteenth is your sixtieth birthday, right? "    

When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was even more astonished.    

"Hehe, it's rare for Brother Shangguan to remember my birthday." Wu Changkong cupped his fists, and his face became steady.    

"Wu Changkong, with your personality, you wouldn't joke with us like this. Speak! What had happened? to have you bring us together in this way. "    

Ouyang Qing's tone was less playful and more serious.    

In fact, when the four of them received the invitation from Wu Changkong, they immediately became suspicious. First, Wu Changkong had not held a birthday banquet in sixteen years. This wasn't anything special. After all, he was sixty years old, so it would be reasonable to suddenly do it. But what the four of them didn't understand was that Wu Changkong's birthday was next month, not this month.    

One thing he could be sure of was that Wu Changkong was not muddle-headed enough to get the timing wrong. That meant there was only one possibility — he intentionally did that. His goal was to gather the upper echelons of the Five Palaces together.    

"The four of you still understand me." Wu Changkong nodded his head, his dignified gaze sweeping across the entrance of the hall. He flicked his finger gently and a white light shot out in an instant.    

Under the confused gazes of the crowd, the white light flashed to the door and turned into a transparent layer of light. In just a split-second, the layer of light disappeared, and the shouts of the guests outside the house could still be clearly heard.    

"This?"    

"I cast Illusion Light Technique." Wu Changkong explained, and said, "We can receive things from the outside, but the people outside do not know what we are doing inside."    

Everyone was even more bewildered now. Wu Changkong's carefulness made the Five Palace's higher ups present realize the seriousness of the situation.    

One had to know, this was the The City of Innocence. The Five Palaces were definitely Overlord level existences within the city, but now that Wu Changkong had a cautious and cautious appearance, not only did it confuse them, it also puzzled them.    

"Wu Changkong, you are making too much of a fuss! Is there a need for us to hide like this? " Ling Fangtang was unable to understand the other's actions as he coldly spoke.    

"Brother Ling, don't be so anxious. There is someone who will explain to you the cause and effect of what has happened."    

"Oh?"    

"Little brother Han Chen, come out!" Wu Changkong called out to the inner room of the hall.    

Han Chen? Everyone's hearts were startled, especially Shangguan Mian, who was like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, and his heart involuntarily tensed up.    

Under the puzzled gaze of the crowd, Han Chen walked out from the house.    

"Student Han Chen greets the Palace Masters and Headmasters."    

Other than Wu Changkong, the other four Palace Chiefs squinted their eyes as they tried to figure out what the hell the other party was trying to do.    

"Shangguan Mansion Lord." Han Chen took the initiative to turn his gaze towards Shangguan Jian, and as he spoke, he took out a embroidered box from his storage ring. Master Shangguan, not long ago, Instructor Shangguan had lent a Heavenly Soul Seven Leaf to the student. Today, you can use this opportunity to return this precious medicinal herb to you. "    

Han Chen's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he politely presented the embroidered box.    

Shangguan Jian raised his eyebrows, looked at Shangguan Mian behind him, and did not have the intention of accepting it. "Forget it, since it's just a single Heavenly Soul Seven Leaf, I'll give it to you."    

The moment Shangguan Jian said this, everyone present was stunned, especially Shangguan Mian, who had a face full of astonishment.    

Wu Changkong, Ouyang Qing and the rest understood Shangguan Jian's intentions immediately. The current Han Chen had won the championship of the Heaven Ranking Tournament. To be able to achieve such results before the age of twenty, his future must be limitless. Shangguan Jian seemed to be throwing an olive branch at the other party with the intention of winning him over.    

By doing this, Shangguan Jian could not help but feel a little awkward towards the other Four Palace Overseers. They were all cursing Shangguan Jian in their hearts, and did not forget to win over the hearts of the people even at a time like this.    

Han Chen was also equally surprised. He knew about how precious this Heavenly Soul Seven Leaf was. It was because they knew its value that they planned to return it to the Dan Hao Mansion.    

"Han Chen, take it! It's rare for my father to be so generous. "    

Shangguan Mian suddenly said these words, and immediately made Shangguan Jian so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him. The other people present could not help but laugh as well, as they thought that Han Chen and his friend's relationship seemed to be out of the ordinary.    

"Hehe, then I'll have to thank the Prefecture Lord." Han Chen did not decline.    

"Alright, let's not talk too much. Han Chen, tell everyone what you know!" Wu Changkong said.    

"Yes." Han Chen nodded, his expression becoming solemn. I believe everyone has heard that the king of the Grand Seal Empire has changed her master. In two months, the Gongsun Family and the Grand Seal Empire will be married into the Grand Seal Empire Royal Family. "    

"What does that have to do with us?" He had always been brooding over Han Chen's words.    

"Of course." Han Chen took a deep breath and swept his gaze across the crowd, "Gongsun Family and Grand Seal Empire are only an alliance on the surface, but behind the scenes, there are the Blood Drawing Pavilion and the Rich Hall, the two large organizations for assassins. Once Cang Yaner and Gongsun Mao get married, their target would be the The City of Innocence. "    

What? Everyone was shocked, revealing expressions of disbelief.
