The full moon banquet was crowded with people, including elders from Zhi'en Village.
As Huang Xiujin arrived with his entourage, everyone fell silent.
Li Dalong and his wife were still in the central hall. Upon learning of Huang Xiujin's arrival, they showed no respect.
"Hmph!"
Seeing the Li family's arrogance, Lin Yixiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Immortal Master Xiujin, I am the town head after all. The Li couple shows no respect, so I don't need to show them any either. Please wait here, Immortal Master, while I go..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Huang Xiujin, as if he hadn't heard a word, walked towards the central hall with a smile on his face and shouted, "I am Huang Xiujin, the Master of the Cloudsea Pavilion! Passing by this area, I heard that the Li family has welcomed a new child, so I shamelessly came to visit and make some new friends."
"I bring three gifts, wishing the Li family many descendants and the newborn son a smooth journey on the path of immortality!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Everyone at the banquet was stunned. They had assumed Huang Xiujin came to cause trouble or exert pressure, but they never expected him to simply bring gifts!
Meanwhile, outside the banquet area, hidden in the ancestral hall, Li Yaozu placed two Celestial Star Spirit-Seeking Puppets at the entrance. With his hands on the puppets' heads, he was ready to activate the treasure bestowed by his ancestors at any moment, remaining vigilant in case of any unexpected events.
Li Yaotie and his wife were holding an artifact that could send a signal to the Silver Iron Forest. The Demon Kings and spirit beasts there had already gathered at the edge, ready to respond to a single call, with thousands of beasts coming to their aid, sending their enemies to their graves!
Li Yunbing and the other Seven were also on high alert, prepared to activate the grand formation if a battle broke out!
They had originally thought Huang Xiujin would bring some kind of gruesome gift.
They had even imagined gifts like severed heads or killing techniques.
But they never expected...
"This is the first gift. May there be no such opportunistic and talentless villains between my Cloudsea Pavilion and the Li family!"
Huang Xiujin's voice echoed throughout the Li family's residence.
At the banquet, a head fell to the ground.
It was the head of Lin Yixiu, the Town head of Tailin Town. Beheaded by Huang Xiujin's palm strike, his eyes still held only confusion and disbelief.
"This is the second gift. The sword of the Cloudsea Pavilion. Whoever possesses this sword, the people of the Cloudsea Pavilion will consider them a friend, not an enemy!"
With a smile, Huang Xiujin gently waved his hand, and a long sword from his waist floated into the air, radiating spiritual energy. The sword's body was engraved with an image of a nine-story pagoda under the infusion of spiritual energy.
"This is the third gift. A detailed map of the battle plan! The three sects of Azure Cloud are about to completely occupy the three towns of Tailin, Lantier, and Stillwater. All the attack plans are included in this map!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wind around him stirred!
Above Huang Xiujin, spiritual energy formed a map, revealing the routes of the three sects' attack on the Sky Jade City region to everyone present!
His face was full of smiles, brimming with confidence.
But no one knew the turbulent waves in his heart!
In the central hall of the Li family, Li Dalong and his wife sat, exuding a terrifying aura!
He saw an indestructible boulder, with a fox demon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws on top.
To make an enemy of the Li family meant being prepared to kill them all or else face grave danger in the future.
Just now, He even saw his own Qi luck, which had always been steadily rising, suddenly plummet, almost disappearing...
"This Li family... What kind of cursed place is this?"
Huang Xiujin looked at the couple walking out of the central hall carrying their child and forced a smile.
There were people all around, and red lanterns and colorful ribbons decorated the place.
But he couldn't feel any joy, only wanting to return to his pavilion as the pavilion master.
