Lin Jun was wearing a black robe embroidered with dragon patterns, a crown on his head with jingling jade hanging down, and the scarlet vertical line between his eyebrows was faintly visible.

His expression was cold and stern, and he was intimidating without even getting angry. With his appearance, his powerful aura oppressed the entire hall, causing the temperature to drop a few degrees.

"Welcome back His Majesty the Human Emperor!"

A uniform welcome rang out in the hall.

Although everyone was very respectful to Lin Jun, they did not kowtow to him like ordinary people. After all, all those present were cultivators with considerable strength, and no one could predict whether they could reach a higher level in the future.

If you really humiliate others, wouldn't that be courting death?

Jiang Deng thought to himself: It is true that clothes make the man, and this kid Lin Jun can actually have such a grand show!

What surprised her the most was Lin Jun's cultivation level. He was clearly only at the Jindan stage when they parted in the sect ranking battle. Now, only four months have passed, and he has entered the Shenhua stage so quickly?

This made Jiang Deng feel a little unhappy.

"Well, no need to be polite."

Lin Jun nodded, his gaze paused on Jiang Deng for a moment, then he sat on the dragon throne above, looking down from above.

In addition to the empty seat next to him, there were two vacant seats below.

"Who else hasn't come yet?"

Lin Jun asked expressionlessly.

Didn’t Wu Dan say that his status was extremely noble and that once the invitations to the succession ceremony were sent out, the lords of all regions would definitely come to honor him, but why was the seat still vacant?

Could it be that... these people are looking down on him?

Thinking of this, the air pressure around Lin Jun became lower and lower.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes searched around and finally fell on the three empty main seats.

Wu Dan, standing beside Lin Jun, bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the Lord of the Red Moon Yin Territory did not come. I sent her an invitation, but received no response. It was as if a stone fell into the ocean."

"Oh!"

Lin Jun didn't react, but Duan Chuan snorted coldly and said with displeasure, "That woman didn't even give you, my eldest brother, any respect. She must be fed up with living."

Fan Wuyin sighed softly, "Ah, normally she ignores us Domain Lords, but this time, she didn't even come to send a gift to congratulate such a big event as the Human Emperor's return to the throne. It's really... "

"How dare you humiliate my Qiming Spirit Realm like this!" The local forces of the Qiming Spirit Realm clamored, "Your Majesty, why don't you lead your men and pacify her Hongyue Yin Realm!"

…

Amidst the discussions, Jiang Deng blinked.

"Um?"

This Lord of the Red Moon Yin Realm is quite interesting, but she has never heard of anything about him before. Even when she used the title of the Lord of the Taichu Sword Sect, she did not get any useful information.

I've only heard that the Red Moon Yin Territory is one of the five mysterious realms. It's quite mysterious, and difficult for people from other spiritual realms to enter. As for who the lord of that place is, I don't know...

As if noticing Jiang Deng's curiosity, Nangong Xiangrui on the side began to explain to Jiang Deng through telepathy.

"Jiang Deng, you don't know that the Lord of this Red Moon Yin Territory was originally the only female Lord among the ten domains. Her name was Ran Hongyue. She entered the Venerable Realm three hundred years ago and became the Lord of the Red Moon Yin Territory after she decisively eliminated the previous Lord."

"I heard that the Red Moon Yin Territory is different from ours. The female cultivators there have the highest status. This has caused dissatisfaction among the other spiritual realms, and they have been constantly looking for trouble with Ran Hongyue."

"However, Ran Hongyue acts freely and undisciplinedly, and is also unreasonable. She has a bad relationship with the domain masters of other spiritual realms. She also knows that most of the domain masters dislike her, so she simply sealed off the entire Hongyue Yin Realm and stopped her from interacting with people from other spiritual realms."

Jiang Deng nodded thoughtfully, "I see."

But... Dyed Red Moon?

The doubt in Jiang Deng's eyes grew even stronger. She felt that this person's name sounded familiar...

"We'll discuss the attack on the Red Moon's Yin Territory later."

Lin Jun interrupted the noisy atmosphere and looked at the seat next to Hongyue Yinyu, "Then who is this other seat?"

"Your Majesty," said the man standing next to the empty seat. He was dressed more simply than the others in the hall, and he looked very travel-weary. "I come from the Qianmo Desolate Land."

"Our domain's Lord, Kang Ping, is currently guarding the seal of the Desolate Domain to prevent evil demons from breaking through the seal and entering the Ten Domains to cause chaos. Therefore, I cannot personally attend the succession ceremony of His Majesty the Human Emperor. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."

As he spoke, the man presented a brocade box with both hands, "This is a gift from the Territory Lord to His Majesty the Human Emperor..."

"Never mind, Lord Kangping, you have been guarding the seal. Thank you for your hard work."

Lin Jun waved his hand, accepted the gift from the man, and retreated respectfully.

“…”

Jiang Deng fell speechless again.

Why does the name of the Lord of the Qianmo Wilderness sound familiar to her?

Could it be that she really knew these two people in her previous life?

Jiang Deng felt a little numb all over.

As the identities of the two people in the three empty seats were revealed, everyone's attention was finally focused on the empty seat that was at the same height as Lin Jun's.

Lin Jun frowned and said, "The person sitting here is..."

Didn't Wu Dan say that he was the highest in status? Why was there anyone who could be on equal footing with him?

Thinking of this, Lin Jun felt a little uncomfortable.

“…”

However, the crowd, which had been indignant just now, suddenly quieted down.

Even if they didn't know who this person was, from the fact that his seat was basically on the same level as Lin Jun's, they could tell that this person's status was surprisingly high.

Wu Dan explained somewhat awkwardly, "Your Majesty, this is the seat of the Lord of the Ancient Spirit Realm."

"Lord of the Ancient Spirit Realm?"

Lin Jun frowned and asked, "Who is he?"

"Well……"

No one dared to say much.

Everyone knows that nine hundred years ago, a young man in white clothes appeared out of nowhere.

He defeated the most powerful Lord of the Ancient Spirit Realm at that time and became the new Lord of the Ancient Spirit Realm.

Since then, countless top masters have tried to challenge him and win the title of the strongest in the world of immortal cultivation, but they have failed time and again...

However, after becoming famous, the young man in white became very low-key and rarely appeared in public, let alone attending any banquets.

It's quite normal for me to miss this succession ceremony today...

However, the next moment, a loud voice echoed over the hall.

"The Lord of the Ancient Spirit Realm, Venerable Baili has arrived!"

A man in a white moon-colored robe slowly walked into the hall.

Not only does he have an excellent temperament, he also has a heavenly appearance. Compared with him, Leng Chaosheng, who is ranked first on the beauty list at the table, seems a little ordinary.

Everyone fell silent, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Venerable Baili, who has always disliked socializing, actually came to the banquet!
