Wu Shattered Star River

The Sky Night Clan has a large population, numbering in the hundreds of millions. Because the Sky Night Clan possesses massive resources, it is easy for top geniuses to emerge within the clan.

In this generation, the younger generation is said to have eighty-eight peerless geniuses, with nineteen of them being the most outstanding. Night Jade is one of them.

This individual is only in their twenties and already at the peak of the King Realm. They are absolutely capable of breaking through to the Emperor Realm.

Critically, this individual is also a direct descendant of the Sky Night Clan's main lineage, with a noble status. It is said that the leader of their lineage is a hidden Heavenly Emperor-level expert.

However, this individual is very low-profile, and the outside world is uncertain whether they are a Heavenly Emperor. Moreover, they have lived in seclusion for many years.

Night Jade has been here for a long time. Three years ago, he entered the place and successfully came out alive.

After coming out, he did not leave but secluded himself in Nine Revolutions City, waiting for this year's opening.

Recently, he emerged from seclusion and, on behalf of the Sky Night Clan, hosted several banquets, inviting elites from various clans who are preparing to enter the Nine Revolutions Realm.

The Sky Night Clan does not prohibit outsiders from entering the Nine Revolutions True Lord's Tomb. It is said that Eternal Night Emperor issued a decree: whoever can enter and come out alive, no matter what they obtain inside, the Sky Night Clan will not contend for it and will allow them to take it away.

It must be said that Eternal Night Emperor has a truly grand vision, and this individual has a very good reputation in Eternal Night Land, being recognized as the supreme ruler of Eternal Night Land.

All experts believe in, love, and respect her, and no one can shake her supreme authority.

That's right, Eternal Night Emperor is female!

Eternal Night Emperor's combat power is undisputed, absolutely the strongest in Eternal Night Land, an uncrowned king.

Although she has super powerful strength, she did not unify Eternal Night Land but instead allowed each clan to govern itself.

Only when encountering foreign enemies will Eternal Night Emperor raise her arms and summon all the experts of Eternal Night Land to jointly defend against the enemy.

In history, the God Clan and Demon Clan attacked once each, and it is said that a kind of evil creature also invaded, but they were ultimately repelled by Eternal Night Emperor leading experts and armies.

That's why Eternal Night Emperor's prestige in Eternal Night Land is so high.

Nine Revolutions True Lord was killed entirely because he was courting death—he had improper thoughts about Eternal Night Emperor but did not dare to express them. He secretly captured a Sky Night Clan woman who looked very similar to Eternal Night Emperor and favored her day and night.

Moreover, he made this woman wear imperial robes and impersonate Eternal Night Emperor. Eventually, the matter was spread, causing Eternal Night Emperor to be furious and have him诛杀 (zhū shā - executed).

The Sky Night Clan members were even more furious. None of Nine Revolutions True Lord's clansmen were left; they were all斩尽杀绝 (zhǎn jìn shā jué - completely exterminated).

Nine Revolutions Palace!

Today, the palace gates are wide open, and a pure white carpet is laid all the way to the outside. A Sky Night Clan Immortal Venerable elder is outside welcoming guests.

Today is the day Young Master Night Jade is hosting a banquet for the young masters and young ladies and experts of various clans, so this place is very重视 (zhòng shì - emphasized/taken seriously).

Jiang Han arrived early with Pei Ji. Greenie was not brought, and Pei Ji did not bring a maidservant. When the two arrived outside the palace gate, the welcoming elder greeted them with a smile.

He cupped his hands towards Pei Ji and then glanced faintly at Jiang Han, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

The Sky Night Clan received news of "Qi Qi's" entry. Pei Ji bringing "Qi Qi" to the banquet, while not a major issue, meant that if Qi Qi, with his notorious reputation, caused trouble at the banquet, this steward would definitely be severely punished.

"Elder Shan!"

Pei Ji smiled and said in a low voice, "I guarantee with my reputation that my brother will not cause trouble. Please give Pei Ji this face."

Jiang Han hurriedly bowed respectfully. The steward thought for a moment and waved his hand, saying, "Enter, but Young Master Qi Qi, if you dare to offend the honored guests inside tonight, even your maternal grandfather will not be able to save you."

"No, I won't!"

Jiang Han hurriedly bowed. Pei Ji led Jiang Han towards the inside. A maidservant led them to a very beautiful open-air pavilion.

Tonight there is also aurora, but it is red, so it reflects a red hue on the horizon. Candles are lit in the open-air pavilion, providing ample light. Moreover, a type of musk is burned, filling the entire pavilion with a very pleasant scent.

Pei Ji and Jiang Han arrived very early. There were only a few young masters and young ladies here, all Immortal Venerables.

Pei Ji was arranged in a lower seat, while Jiang Han sat behind Pei Ji, not even qualified to be on the main table.

Pei Ji greeted the young masters and young ladies who had arrived earlier with Jiang Han. Several young masters responded politely but ignored Jiang Han who was with him.

When those young ladies saw Jiang Han, they couldn't hide the disgust in their eyes—they would be strange if they weren't disgusted by a纨绔子弟 (wán kù zǐ dì - spoiled brat) who could even強上 (qiáng shàng - forcibly violate) his own sister-in-law and had been expelled from his family.

Jiang Han didn't care about this. Everyone hated Qi Qi, not him, and it wasn't easy for him to be exposed.

After Pei Ji greeted them, he came back to sit down with Jiang Han. He patted Jiang Han's shoulder and said, "Little Qi, take it slow. You have a long road ahead of you."

Jiang Han pretended to look黯然 (àn rán - dejected) and sat behind without speaking, drinking in silence.

As time passed, young masters and young ladies came in one after another, and Jiang Han saw many strange races.

The young masters and young ladies who came in were basically all in the late stage of Immortal Venerable, and there were also a few at the peak of Immortal Venerable.

Similarly, some young masters and young ladies came over to exchange greetings with Pei Ji, either ignoring Jiang Han or showing disdain.

After waiting for a moment, finally, several heavyweight genius young masters and young ladies arrived, all uniformly at the King Realm. One of the young ladies was even a direct descendant of a Heavenly Emperor family.

Half an incense stick later, Night Jade walked out with two young masters and one young lady.

Countless gazes swept towards the purple-skirted young lady walking in front, and their eyes lit up.

"She actually came?"

Pei Ji was a little surprised and hurriedly got up to greet her. After taking a few steps, he waved at Jiang Han and transmitted a voice, instructing, "Princess Lu is here. You must be careful not to offend her!"

"Night Heron!"

A name appeared in Jiang Han's mind. Hou San and Qi Qi both gave him a list with the names of the top geniuses in Eternal Night Land.

Night Heron ranked first. This individual is recognized as the number one peerless genius, having just turned thirty last year and already broken through to the Emperor Realm. Moreover, she is not the kind of草包 (cǎo bāo - straw bag/incompetent) Emperor Realm expert; her combat power is very strong.

Furthermore!

She is one of Eternal Night Emperor's favorite juniors, with a noble status. Outside, she is called Princess Heron.

"As expected, she is an absolutely beautiful woman!"

Jiang Han glanced at her from afar and hurriedly lowered his head, following behind Pei Ji to greet her together.

He was a little慌 (huāng - flustered)!

Because if an Emperor Realm expert got close, they might be able to detect the clues of his Myriad Transformations Secret Technique.

Although Night Heron had just broken through to the Emperor Realm, who knew how strong her soul was or whether she had powerful secret techniques? What if she saw through him?

Also!

Huang Qi Dao Venerable once divined a divination for him, saying that he had a桃花劫 (táo huā jié - love tribulation), that he would encounter a femme fatale-level woman, and because of this woman, he would encounter danger and suffering.

Many young ladies came today, and many of them had good looks, but the only one who could truly be called a femme fatale-level beauty was this Princess Heron.

Jiang Han didn't come here to pick up girls but to obtain the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique. Naturally, he wanted to avoid such a femme fatale and even wanted to sneak away, not wanting to have any entanglement with Night Heron.

What reassured Jiang Han slightly was...

This Night Heron seemed to be very cold, not even looking at him, only glancing at the crowd. Many young masters and young ladies greeted her, but she merely nodded indifferently.

"Everyone, please take your seats!"

Night Jade exchanged greetings with everyone for a while and waved his hand. Jiang Han hurriedly retreated secretly and, after sitting down, lowered his head, afraid of being seen by Night Heron…
