This was the predecessor of the Rebirth Pavilion.
However, a person's ambition will always grow slowly.
As the Rebirth Pavilion grew stronger, its owner was no longer satisfied with just making money. Instead, he wanted to use money to control the entire world, including the martial arts world, the imperial court, and all living beings.
From this moment on, the Rebirth Tower became a demonic sect.
The Prince of Huaiyang had made up his mind to attend the banquet, and so had everyone else who had received an invitation.
They all wanted to see what Gao Chengzhi was really up to.
Like the Prince of Huaiyang, fearing trouble, they each brought a group of martial arts masters to the banquet.
The day finally arrived at July 11th.
Autumn had already arrived.
As night deepened, the General's Mansion in the capital was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
But the only ones who were lively were the servants inside the mansion.
At this moment, everyone at the banquet looked at each other, speechless.
All of this was because a few breaths ago, Prince Gao Chengzhi of Hejian suddenly said that today's banquet was not actually hosted by him.
"Don't worry, everyone, the true host of the banquet will be here soon."
The true master?
A moment later, under a clear moonlit night, everyone suddenly spotted a dark figure.
The dark figure seemed to fly out from the moon. He stepped on the breeze and swiftly swept between the buildings, his long sleeves dancing in the wind. Finally, as if riding the wind, he "flew" directly into the banquet hall.
"What a light gong!"
Some people couldn't help but admire it.
Someone else asked, "Who is this?"
But no one recognized it, because it was a completely unfamiliar face.
Gao Chengzhi said, "This person is..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man introduced himself.
"The Great Light Cult, a special envoy under King Garuda!"
"what?"
No one could have imagined that members of the Great Light Cult could infiltrate the banquet, let alone that they would dare to stand out so brazenly.
The Prince of Huaiyang stood up abruptly: "What do you intend to do?"
The envoy said, "I have come here today to recruit you all. The fate of the Great Liang Dynasty has run its course, which is beyond human power to reverse. Why don't you follow the example of Ji Xiaojie of the Martial Arts School and serve King Garuda? When King Garuda becomes the King of Kings, you can also be granted land and become kings, enjoying wealth and honor for generations to come!"
The Prince of Huaiyang's face turned ashen: "Gao Chengzhi, I never expected you to collude with the Turks and the Great Brightness Sect. Do you have any respect for your throne? Do you have any respect for your ancestors?"
Gao Chengzhi lowered his head and remained silent.
The Prince of Huaiyang grew increasingly agitated: "Fine, fine, fine! I've long disliked the Great Brightness Cult. Usually, when you hide on the grasslands, I can't do anything to you. But now that you've come here, you're not leaving!"
The martial arts masters behind him, as well as the people from the Rebirth Pavilion, all stood up.
The others also stood up.
Everyone present was ambitious; they wouldn't just vote after hearing a single word from someone.
Faced with such a dangerous scene, the envoy of the Great Bright Church burst into laughter.
"When King Garuda sent me south, he instructed me that if any of you did not comply, you should all be killed to prevent future troubles."
"What a loud tone!"
Suddenly, a gloomy-faced man stepped out from behind the Dali Temple Minister who had been invited.
The envoy turned slightly to the side: "Who are you?"
The man sneered, "I am Yuheng Star of the Seven Stars Linked Gang!"
The envoy simply said, "You're not qualified to speak to me like that."
Yuheng Star's smile grew even colder: "I'm not qualified? Garuda King's strength is indeed astonishing, but what kind of worthless envoy are you to dare to speak so arrogantly and regard me as trash? Today I will..."
The envoy suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Yuhengxing said, "Wait? Are you afraid?"
The envoy laughed and said, "No, no, what I mean is, I not only regard you as worthless, but also..."
He looked around.
"In my eyes, everyone here is trash. Stop shouting and come at me!"
This statement is utterly outrageous.
Everyone present was of high status and considerable strength. There were even members of a top-tier demonic sect like the Rebirth Pavilion. Who could tolerate such humiliation?
In an instant, the entire banquet erupted in chaos.
Amidst the chaos, only one person stared blankly at the incredibly arrogant envoy.
If you are a special envoy of the Great Light Cult, then who am I?
PS: Thank you for the donation from Hehe My Little Zi, and thank you for the knives from Yefeng Lingyu, Loli Yue: Gugu Gu, Supreme Wisdom Representative No. 9, Xi Xiangwan, and Ruo Yelu.
A thunderclap from the heavens shook nine cities. [3k]
While the real Grand Envoy was still in a daze, a fight broke out in the banquet hall.
It's already unpleasant that people from the Great Guang Dynasty came all the way to the capital of Daliang to recruit people.
Who would have thought that after being rejected, he would threaten to kill everyone present and even insult everyone present as trash in an extremely arrogant manner. Who could tolerate that?
Anyone with a shred of backbone, anyone who cares about saving face, would be ready to fight to the death with the "special envoy" of the Great Guang Dynasty, played by An Qingwan!
Clearly, those attending the banquet were people of principle or concerned with saving face.
They simply couldn't suppress their anger.
Kill kill kill!
Today we will tear that blazing envoy to pieces!
"A lowly rat like Ji Xiaojie of the Zhenwu Sect, whom I would never even give a second glance, has actually been granted the title of Khan of the Capital in your Turkic Khaganate. This shows that your Turkic Khaganate and the Great Guang Dynasty are nothing special!"
"Today, your grandpa will use this Heavenly Demon Great Compassion Palm to wake you up, you bastards!"
"Seven stars linked together, the pinnacle of the world. Today, the other six stars are absent, but I, Yuheng Star alone, am enough to send you to your death!"
The cheers were deafening.
The internal energy surged like a tide.
During the banquet, in the blink of an eye, more than twenty people launched an attack simultaneously.
These twenty-odd people would all be top-notch masters in the martial arts world, not only possessing profound internal strength and ruthless moves, but also having rich combat experience.
Although they hadn't agreed beforehand, their actions at this moment subtly reflected the intricacies of the formation. Their moves intertwined, creating a massive cage that blocked all of the enemy's escape routes.
If they were facing an ordinary enemy, this round of attacks would have been enough to decide the outcome.
But the person they encountered was An Qingwan.
With a deafening roar, the entire roof of the banquet hall was blasted into dust by the relentless onslaught.
However, when the smoke cleared, there was not a trace of blood on the ground, let alone a corpse.
"not good!"
Someone cried out in surprise.
But the warning came too late.
A dark figure emerged like a ghost from the darkness of a corner of the banquet hall.
The moment she saw her, her right palm slammed heavily onto Yuhengxing's body.
This move is called the Seven Severances and Seven Destructions Heartbreak Palm, which is an extremely vicious and ruthless palm technique. Combined with the extremely cold internal energy of Mingyu Gong, when the palm strikes down, Yuhengxing feels as if thousands of ice needles are piercing his bones and meridians.
"Senior Yuheng Star!"
The other man behind the Minister of Justice was shocked and tried to keep An Qingwan there by hooking his right hand.
But the instant he raised his hand, An Qingwan arrived first, her fingers and palms guiding and deflecting him. No one could see what technique she used, but they saw that the man's hand hook back in an extremely strange posture, directly hooking around his neck.
Click.
This hook caused his neck to twist halfway.
"!"
Everyone in the banquet hall was astonished.
"What kind of martial art is this? How can the ordinary method of using someone's force against them be so decisive and efficient?"
Even Sikong Tingxue, who was disguised as Dugu Que, was taken aback.
Why are An Qingwan's hands becoming more and more dexterous?
She had never seen An Qingwan use this move before, not even at the Prince of Pingnan's residence.
An Qingwan smiled slightly.
The move she just used was called "Shifting Flowers and Replacing Jade," originally a signature technique of Yaoyue Lianxing, and best paired with Mingyu Gong.
She learned this martial art on her way to the capital.
She really had to thank Sikong Tingxue. If Sikong Tingxue hadn't told her about the hiding places of a bunch of Yinji Sect members, how could she have developed such good martial arts skills?
An Qingwan gracefully disappeared into the darkness.
His footsteps treaded on the snow without leaving a trace, a feat of lightness that left no sound whatsoever.
The surrounding crowd was both shocked and furious. They held nothing back, striking with their palms and thrusting with their swords.
In just a few breaths, the once magnificent general's mansion was ravaged, with its walls collapsing, bricks and tiles flying everywhere, and screams echoing all around.
Despite being surrounded by the crowd, An Qingwan showed no fear.
She possessed a wide range of martial arts skills, and even without using her most proficient swordsmanship, her powerful and terrifying internal energy was enough to intimidate the entire audience.
Seizing the opportunity, An Qingwan stepped on her right foot with her left and pulled herself up, rising more than ten feet into the air.
It was as if one had ascended to the highest heavens, or leaped into the moon.
At this moment, even the Wild Goose Pagoda next to the General's Mansion was at her feet.
She exudes an aura of supreme power, as if the universe is boundless and she reigns supreme alone.
Amidst everyone's astonishment and doubt, An Qingwan suddenly channeled her inner strength and, using a sound wave-based martial art as her foundation, shouted in all directions.
"Today I'll show you bunch of trash what's what! The Yin-Yang Sect, the Rebirth Pavilion, the Frost Sect, the Seven Stars Linked Gang—it's all bullshit! The Great Light Sect is the true holy land of martial arts, and Garuda King is the true supreme master of martial arts! Hahaha!"
This sound was like a thunderclap from the heavens, shaking the nine cities!
Sikong Tingxue opened her mouth.
Although I know An Qingwan is trying to provoke hatred towards the Da Guang Sect, why did she have to add the phrase "Yinji Sect"?
The real Grand Envoy's face was as black as if he had just come out of a coal mine.
This man has already committed heinous crimes by committing violence in the General's Mansion, and now he has done something so horrifying to frame Da Guang. Is he even human?
"Senior Xu, he really is..."
What a fart!
The Grand Envoy really wanted to step forward and refute the rumors.
But now, will anyone really believe his denial?
It should be noted that Da Guang committed a major crime in Sichuan not long ago, and his reputation is now as bad as a stinking ditch.
Even if someone actually believes it, how can he possibly gain any advantage?
I'm afraid not, he'd probably be beaten to death by the people around him.
