Above the gray fog

The third square of the Renzong.

This is for inner disciples, a place that can only be entered by at least Sequence 8.

A gorgeous temporary venue was set up in the square.

The banquet venue was decorated with extraordinary style, showing the dignity and solemnity of the sect.

The red ribbon decorations around the venue and the high hanging banners set off a festive atmosphere. The gorgeous lanterns and colorful bouquets decorated every corner of the venue, which seemed lively and warm.

There were rows of neat jade tables in the venue, and each table was placed with exquisite gold-rimmed tableware and transparent crystal cups, which kept flashing.

The tables, chairs and benches were all made of high-quality jade and carved with exquisite patterns. The only drawback was that they were a bit uncomfortable.

In the center of the venue was a specially made round main banquet table, where Lin Shan, the leader of the Renzong, and a group of elders sat.

Lin Shan did not speak throughout the whole process, and no one sitting around him dared to speak first.

With seniority here, even if Lin Shan looked like an ordinary old man, no one dared to disobey.

"Let's get started." Lin Shan said the first words after arriving.

The leader of the Renzong nodded gently and said, "Yes."

The mouth-watering delicacies were soon served on the table, exuding an alluring aroma.

The dishes with good color, fragrance and taste filled every table. There were a variety of carefully prepared delicacies, light vegetarian dishes, fresh seafood, and meat with rich taste. Every dish was like a work of art.

Lin Shan ate by himself, and Jiuqi sat next to him.

Lin Shan asked Jiuqi to pick up the dishes that he couldn't eat, without the look of a pioneer.

The leader of the Renzong sat solemnly on the other side of Lin Shan. He was wearing a gorgeous robe, a golden crown on his head, and his eyes were solemn and solemn.

His occasional sneak glances at Lin Shan revealed his thoughts.

He didn't despise Lin Shan's actions at all. It was impossible for him to make the mistake of judging people by appearances if he could get to this point.

He just wanted to see more of what the most powerful and mysterious pioneer in this calendar looked like.

Cheers could be heard from other places in the square from time to time, and someone's speech triggered warm applause from the audience.

As time went on, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually reached a climax, and laughter filled the entire venue. The disciples of the Ren Sect exchanged their cultivation experiences and shared their growth experiences.

Only at Lin Shan's table, the atmosphere was still dull.

All the high-ranking members of the Ren Sect could feel an invisible pressure.

Finally.

Lin Shan seemed to be full, and asked Jiu Qi to help him walk to the high platform that had been prepared long ago.

Lin Shan made a slight move, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

On the surface, it looked very lively, but in fact, everyone's mind was on Lin Shan.

Lin Shan sat on the jade chair on the high platform, and the first sentence was, "This position is too hard."

The second sentence was, "You continue to eat."

There were many representatives of the outer disciples of Sequence 9 present, and they also needed to eat.

People standing on the high ground were always concerned about what Lin Shan would do next.

However, the people at the bottom did not care about these things. They were just curious. This kind of thing was not as important as the food on their table.

Lin Shan quietly watched from the high platform, watching the banquet with the smell of fireworks below.

The leader of the Human Clan, wearing a golden crown, stepped up the steps step by step, came to Lin Shan and said respectfully, "Lin Xianfeng, I brought you a cushion."

"Well, that's thoughtful." Lin Shan nodded, took the cushion and put it under his buttocks.

"I'll go down first." The leader bowed and was about to walk down the platform.

Lin Shan called him, "Stay here and chat with me."

"Yes." The leader stood respectfully aside.

"Don't stand, sit down." Lin Shan stood up, walked forward two steps, and sat on the steps.

The leader of the Human Clan followed suit and sat next to Lin Shan, but the step he sat on was one level lower than Lin Shan.

"What do you think of this banquet?" Lin Shan asked.

"What is Lin Xianfeng asking about?" The leader was puzzled.

"Any aspect is fine." Lin Shan said calmly, "Tell me your evaluation."

Although the sect leader did not understand Lin Shan's meaning, he still said truthfully, "It's a little vulgar, which does not fit our cultivation trend."

"I guessed you would say that." Lin Shan smiled, "But I did it on purpose."

"Junior doesn't understand." The sect leader bowed, "Please explain it clearly, senior."

"People can be like immortals, but their hearts cannot be like immortals." Lin Shan said lightly.

If it was before, he might not have such a cognition.

After experiencing the decline and returning to human nature, he saw through some things.

It turned out that he was really influenced by divinity before, and what he thought of himself was the self after the influence.

For him, whether it was dominated by divinity or humanity, he was himself, and even his personality would not change.

But he was always a human being, and he was more real when he was dominated by humanity.

"Is Lin Shan the pioneer talking about divinity?" The sect leader understood it at once.

"Well, divinity is supposed to appear at Sequence 7, but the disciples of the Human Sect all see themselves as immortals, which has advanced this process. Many Sequence 9s have extraordinary divinity. They are still the same people, but not completely."

Lin Shan's words were confusing, and the Sect Master seemed to understand, "I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Lin Xianfeng. I will pay attention to it."

"What's your name?" Lin Shan only began to look at the Sect Master of the Human Sect in front of him at this time.

He looked like a middle-aged man, wearing a light golden robe, short hair, and a leaf mark on his forehead. Since he had become a mortal, Lin Shan could not see his strength.

"My name is Liu Ru." Liu Ru replied respectfully.

"Yes." Lin Shan hummed lightly and stopped talking.

Liu Ru suddenly took the initiative to ask, "Excuse me, Lin Xianfeng, the other pioneers have all returned to the human circle since the Virgo War. I wonder when they will come back?"

This is what Liu Ru has been worried about. The pioneers have left Gemini for more than a hundred years. He is afraid that the pioneers will return to their hometown and will not return to Gemini.

Without the support of the pioneers, the human race is now in an awkward position in Gemini.

"They are not in the human circle. They are out looking for opportunities. As for when they will return, I don't know." Lin Shan shook his head. He has not contacted since they left the Giant Country, and he doesn't know where the other pioneers are now.

Liu Ru remained calm and just bowed his hands. "There is one more thing. The girl named Huang Li that Lin Shan Xianfeng is going to meet is holding something very important to the Human Clan. It was left by the pioneers. We arrested her because of this."

"Okay, I see. I will deal with it. It may be left by Huang Ying." Lin Shan nodded.

"Huang Ying? That girl has been saying the name Huang Ying, and she also said that Huang Ying is the pioneer of our human race, but even the clan artifact has never recorded this. Is the Huang Ying mentioned by Lin Xianfeng the same as the Huang Ying mentioned by Huang Li?" Liu Ru looked strange when he heard the word Huang Ying.

"No wonder..." Lin Shan realized that it was no wonder that Huang Ying disappeared so completely in the Human Clan. It turned out that... there was no record of the clan artifact.

"Maybe... it's not the clan artifact itself." Lin Shan thought about it and could only come to this conclusion.

"It's not the clan artifact itself?" Liu Ru's eyes widened slightly.

Lin Shan was no longer paying attention to him. At this time, everyone in the audience had almost finished eating.

Sitting in the main seat, Lin Shan picked up the special loudspeaker on the table.

"I am Lin Shan. There was a group of people from the human race who came to this world first, and I am one of them."

"I called you here to announce only one thing."

"My life is coming to an end, and I am about to die."

"My funeral will be held in the Human Clan."
