Chapter 2278: Jiang Wuji’s Conjecture (1/2)
“My thanks to Brother Tan, and several brothers for coming over to participate in my forefather’s birthday banquet. Your presence brings light to our Jiang Family!” Jiang Tian cupped his fists at Tan Hongyi’s group as he spoke with a beaming smile.
Being able to invite Tan Hongyi and these several Evolving Dragon Holy Ground’s Holy Princes to the banquet was indeed a kind of honor.
The Jiang Family’s forefather Jiang Wuji was beaming from ear to ear, and his face was glowing. Even though Tan Hongyi and the others from the Evolving Dragon Holy Ground had come to participate in his birthday banquet because of Jiang Tian, in Jiang Wuji’s opinion, there was no difference either way. This was his Jiang Family’s honor.
Tan Hongyi cupped his fists at Jiang Tian in return and said, “Based on the good relationship between us and Brother Jiang Tian, it is only right we come to celebrate forefather Jiang’s birthday. It’s too bad we couldn’t prepare a better gift. We hope that forefather Jiang would accept this exceptional Evolving Dragon Single Aura Pill.”
Other Evolving Dragon Holy Princes smiled in agreement to Tan Hongyi’s words.
“Evolving Dragon Single Aura Pill!!”
The Revered River Divine Sect Chief was greatly surprised. So were the other present sect chiefs and family patriarchs.
The Evolving Dragon Single Aura Pill was a high-grade, level-six origin pill from the Evolving Dragon Holy Ground. Only the Evolving Dragon Holy Ground’s Patriarch, Evolving Dragon True Saint, knew how to refine it. Even for the Evolving Dragon Holy Ground’s Holy Princes, the Evolving Dragon Single Aura Pill was precious. Thus no one had expected that Tan Hongyi’s group would use it as a birthday gift.
The Evolving Dragon Holy Ground’s liberality was truly extraordinary!
Although the Treasure Dragon Longevity Divine Pill brought by the Revered River Divine Sect Chief as the birthday gift was also a level-six origin pill, it was considered as a more common level-six origin pill. The high-grade, level-six Evolving Dragon Single Aura Pill was on the other end of the scale.
Jiang Wuji’s sonorous laughter filled the hall as he accepted the Evolving Dragon Single Aura Pill from Tan Hongyi and said, “Holy Prince Tang Hongyi and several Holy Princes are too courteous. I am honored that several Holy Princes could make the time to come. Our Jiang Family is honored.”
Tan Hongyi and the others exchanged some polite words with Jiang Wuji.
Moving on with the banquet, Jiang Tian, Jiang Wuji, Tan Hongyi, the Revered River Divine Sect Chief, and others talked and laughed in merrymaking.
However, the majority of family patriarchs and sect chiefs dared not speak carelessly. Most of the time, they listened with smiles on their faces and nodded in agreement from time to time.
The Chen Family’s Patriarch Chen Kebim sat there with his lips pursed tightly. Probably, he was the only person that wasn’t smiling at the banquet. In truth, his expression was a little bad because he had already gotten a message about what had happened at the Chen Family’s main residence.
Someone had actually broken into the Chen Family’s main residence!
More importantly, several thousand of Chen Family’s experts had all suffered heavy injuries! Including the Chen Family residence’s guardians, Eminent Elder Chen Wanyi and Eminent Elder Chen Yan, both had suffered grave injuries!
And the Chen Family residence’s main entrance doors were sent flying with one punch!
This was the biggest humiliation their Chen Family had ever suffered.
Not to mention, all of these things had happened because of a mere slave!
Sitting where he was, looking at the Jiang Family’s forefather Jiang Wuji’s red beaming face, and Jiang Tian who was smiling brightly, Chen Kebin’s lips moved, feeling an impulse to request assistance from them. After all, the enemy’s subordinate had easily injured the Chen Family’s two Eminent Elders. At the very least, that subordinate was a late-Tenth Order Venerable…?!
Only with the Jiang Family’s help, and sending Jiang Family’s experts could the enemy be suppressed.
However, they were currently at Jiang Wuji’s birthday banquet, and if he were to abruptly make such a request, Chen Kebin was afraid he would ruin the Jiang Family’s mood, causing Jiang Tian’s and Jiang Wuji’s displeasure.
Jiang Tian and Jiang Wuji were at the peak of their interest conversing with the group of Evolving Dragon Holy Ground’s Holy Princes, Revered River Divine Sect Chief, and others, when a Jiang Family’s Grand Elder entered the hall. He walked up to Jiang Tian and Jiang Wuji’s side and reported something to them in a low whisper.
After hearing what the grand elder reported, both Jiang Tian and Jiang Wuji were startled, and it showed on their faces.
When the grand elder finished reporting, Jiang Tian waved the grand elder away.
“Patriarch Chen,” Jiang Tian called out and said, “I have just received a report that the Chen Family’s residence was attacked a while ago. Even the two Eminent Elders suffered heavy injuries.”
The moment Jiang Tian finished speaking, the vibrant atmosphere in the hall quieted as the faces of present sect chiefs and patriarchs showed shock.
The Chen Family’s main residence was actually attacked?!
Chen Kebin swiftly got up from his seat, and spoke with utmost respect, “Replying to Your Highness Holy Prince Jiang Tian, I myself received word of it not long ago. I didn’t expect Chen Family’s matter to disturb Your Highness Holy Prince Jiang Tian and forefather Jiang’s celebrations. I blame myself.
