Wu Shattered Star River

There were too many scouts nearby, and the news spread quickly.

The entire Northern Region was immediately in an uproar. A Dao Ancestor Realm expert, along with sixty Saint Sovereigns, entered the Demon Insect Cave to hunt down Jiang Han. In the end, Jiang Han didn't die, but several Saint Sovereigns were killed in battle.

Saint Sovereigns were already top-tier combat power in the Land of Bitter Winter, and there were only so many Dao Ancestor Realm experts.

The Dao Ancestor Realm was a transcendent powerhouse above ordinary cultivators. Saint Sovereigns were almost the peak of ordinary cultivators. Now that so many Saint Sovereigns had died at once, how could the Northern Region not be shaken?

The news spread to Saint Yao City, making the atmosphere in the entire city become oppressive.

The Northern Region Great Emperor's birthday was coming up soon, and now such news had arrived. Wasn't this a slap in the face to the Northern Region Great Emperor?

The Northern Region Great Emperor's good mood was probably gone. The powerhouses in Saint Yao City were all somewhat fearful, afraid that the Northern Region Great Emperor would be furious and take it out on them.

The atmosphere was even more oppressive on the Eastern Region envoy's side. Xiong Qikou and Pingdong cursed Jiang Han's ancestors for eighteen generations.

They had suffered an unprovoked disaster and didn't dare to go out now. No major Northern Region clans invited them to banquets anymore…

As envoys to the Northern Region, they were originally there to befriend the various major Northern Region families, make the alliance more stable, and make the relationship between the two sides more harmonious.

Now, because of Jiang Han alone, the relationship between the Northern Region and the Eastern Region was estimated to have reached a freezing point.

Although the alliance wouldn't break down, they, as the chief and deputy envoys, would have to bear responsibility and would probably be reprimanded when they returned.

Liu Fangfei didn't feel as much pressure. The matter had already happened. When Jiang Han shattered that Saint Sovereign's soul in Saint Yao City, she had already prepared for the worst.

At worst, she would be scolded by the Third Elder when she returned. The matter had already happened, and there was no use in her worrying. She ate and drank as usual every day, and held Lu Yu to sleep peacefully at night…

The Heavenly Yin Clan had suffered a great loss, but there had been no actions these past two days. Perhaps it was because the Northern Region Great Emperor's birthday was about to begin, and they didn't dare to continue going down into the Demon Insect Cave, fearing that more problems would arise and affect the Northern Region Great Emperor's mood.

A few days passed in a flash, and the Northern Region Great Emperor's birthday began.

On this day, Liu Fangfei and Lu Yu got up early. Both of them dressed up and attended in full dress.

After dressing up, the two walked out of the courtyard to meet with Xiong Qikou and Pingdong. Kou Pingxi also went to the palace this time, wanting to see the world. Kou Pingdong didn't stop him.

After waiting for a moment, the Yao Clan's envoy arrived and invited them into the hall.

The cultivators rode in luxurious chariots and entered the imperial palace hall along the way.

Powerhouses gathered in the main hall. All the major clans in the Northern Region sent representatives. The clan heads of the six great clans came in person and sat behind the square table at the head of the table.

Liu Fangfei and the others were not in the Dao Ancestor Realm, but because they were an envoy and represented the Eastern Region, their arranged seats were relatively forward, just below a group of Dao Ancestor Realm experts.

"Huh?"

After Liu Fangfei took her seat, she glanced upwards, and she noticed a strange thing.

The clan heads of the six great clans were sitting at the head of the left side, while a group of Dao Ancestor Realm experts were sitting on the right side, but the first seat on the right side was empty.

The clan heads of the six great clans had all come. Whose seat was the first one on the right? The birthday banquet was about to begin, but they still hadn't shown up?

After waiting for another moment, all the guests arrived. Hundreds of square tables were placed in the hall, and they were all filled with guests, but the first seat on the right was still empty.

Liu Fangfei curiously looked towards Yao Xi. Yao Xi was sitting in the seat below her, wearing a bright yellow dress and a jade hairpin. Her beauty was like a fairy in a painting, and her beauty was a bit stronger than Liu Fangfei and Lu Yu.

Liu Fangfei thought for a while and said via voice transmission, "Yao Xi, little sister, whose seat is the first one on the right? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Yao Xi glanced at the empty seat, and after a moment of silence, she said via voice transmission, "Her identity… I can't say. I can't be sure if she will come or not. But even if she doesn't come, this seat will be reserved for her."

"Her?"

Liu Fangfei frowned, and a lot of information about Northern Region powerhouses appeared in her mind.

Yao Xi said her, there didn't seem to be many female Dao Ancestor Realm experts in the Northern Region. Who would be qualified to sit in that seat? Who would dare to be so arrogant that they wouldn't come to the Northern Region Great Emperor's birthday?

After thinking for a while, Liu Fangfei couldn't figure it out. Xiong Qi and the others were secretly surprised.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

A loud voice rang out, and all the powerhouses in the hall immediately stood up. After the Northern Region Great Emperor walked in, they all bowed and saluted.

"Hahaha!"

The Northern Region Great Emperor's loud voice resounded throughout the entire hall. He walked to the imperial seat and sat down, his gaze sweeping around the hall, and finally falling on the first seat on the right.

This seat was still empty, and no powerhouse had appeared. A trace of disappointment appeared in the Northern Region Great Emperor's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Thank you all for coming to attend my birthday today. I offer you all a toast!"

All the powerhouses raised their glasses and drank together, and then the chief envoy of the Southern Region walked out and began to offer birthday greetings on behalf of the Southern Region, and presented birthday gifts.

After that, it was the Western Region's turn, and finally the Eastern Region. Xiong Qi represented the Eastern Region in congratulating the Northern Region Great Emperor and presented a birthday gift.

Then the clan heads of the six great clans began to offer birthday greetings, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became harmonious and warm.

The Northern Region Great Emperor seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on his face, and frequently raised his glass.

A birthday banquet lasted for more than three hours, and when the birthday banquet was about to end, the seat on the right was still empty.

In the end, the Northern Region Great Emperor got up and left, letting a powerhouse of the Yao Clan replace him in entertaining the guests.

Before he left, his gaze turned to the empty seat on the right again, and finally he sighed slightly and left.

"Huh?"

The Northern Region Great Emperor looked at the empty seat on the right so many times, and all the powerhouses in the hall had been paying attention to the Northern Region Great Emperor, so they all saw his expression.

Countless powerhouses had deep doubts in their hearts and began to inquire secretly via voice transmission.

It was just that the number of powerhouses who knew the identity of this powerhouse was very small. Those who knew wouldn't say, and it was useless to ask those who didn't know.

Xiong Qi and a few powerhouses exchanged a few words via voice transmission, but they didn't ask for any useful information. Liu Fangfei was the same, and in the end, the birthday banquet ended, and they could only leave with confusion.

However, today's birthday banquet was relatively smooth, and no accidents occurred. Nothing angered the Northern Region Great Emperor, and no one mentioned Jiang Han's matter.

The Heavenly Yin Clan's clan head had a smile on his face throughout the entire process, which made Xiong Qi, Liu Fangfei, Kou Pingdong and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

At least their mission this time was considered a success, and no particularly big things happened.

As for Jiang Han's matter, it was unrelated to the envoy—after the accident, Xiong Qi went to find the Yao Clan's elder as soon as possible, stating that Jiang Han was unrelated to the envoy, and the Eastern Region supported how the Yao Clan dealt with Jiang Han.

Back at the manor, Xiong Qi glanced at Liu Fangfei and said, "The longer we delay, the more likely things are to change. We will return to the Eastern Region tomorrow. What do you say?"

Kou Pingdong nodded and said, "I agree. While Jiang Han hasn't caused any major incidents, let's leave quickly. The following matters will be unrelated to us."

Liu Fangfei was silent, and after thinking for more than ten breaths of time, she said, "You go back first. I will stay behind in a personal capacity. I want to see how the situation develops later."

Xiong Qi frowned. Although Liu Fangfei said it was in a personal capacity, she was, after all, representing the Liu family, and she came with the envoy this time.

He said, "What can you do by staying? You can't help Jiang Han, can you?"

"I won't help!"

Liu Fangfei said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I won't mess around. Moreover, even if I mess around, I can't help Jiang Han. I just want to see the follow-up situation."

"Alright!"

Xiong Qi was too lazy to talk nonsense with Liu Fangfei. Anyway, he was the chief envoy, and he took the envoy back, so his mission was considered complete.

If Liu Fangfei really messed around here, it would be unrelated to the envoy, and the Liu family would have a headache at that time.

Xiong Qi summoned a follower and asked him to notify the Yao Clan that the envoy would return to the Eastern Region tomorrow, and then he and Kou Pingdong left.

Liu Fangfei and Lu Yu sat in the main hall. Lu Yu looked at Liu Fangfei and asked, "Are you sure you want to stay?"

"Yes!"

Liu Fangfei nodded and said, "Let's stay and see. If Jiang Han dies, we will set up a cenotaph for him and worship him. It will be a proper ending."
