The food at the banquet was rich and varied, and each dish was made with special ingredients of great value.

However, the scene at this moment was somewhat depressing.

After what Ji Haoxuan had done before, the people from the Jiang family and Yuansheng Mansion were in a heavy mood and no longer in the mood to laugh and joke. At least on the surface, all the children and disciples of the two families felt that way.

Yao Xiuqi from the Yao family was in no mood at the moment because he had a conflict with Ji Haoxuan.

Ji Haoxuan of the Ji family had just suffered a setback and still had a gloomy face. Of course, the other disciples did not dare to provoke Ji Haoxuan at this juncture.

When the people from the Juling Sect saw that everyone was silent, they also tactfully shut their mouths.

However, as the host, Su Hong would naturally not let the atmosphere become so cold, and he still had important things to do.

So he broke the silence, raised his glass and said to everyone: "I am very grateful to fellow Taoists for giving me, Su Hong, a favor to attend the Qiongzu Universe Young Monks Exchange Conference. Although this exchange conference was initiated by me, the hosting of the conference still requires your assistance. This conference is a grand event that needs the joint efforts of all present. For the Qiongzu Universe Young Monks Exchange Conference, I propose that everyone raise their glasses..."

"Noisy!" Ji Haoxuan snorted coldly, "How can you, a bunch of rubbish, be qualified to be on the same level as this elder?"

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep silence again, and couldn't help but complain in their hearts: "You are so awesome, and you think you are not on the same level as us, why did you come to participate in this exchange meeting?"

Ji Haoxuan didn't care about everyone's thoughts, but asked Su Hong in a bossy manner: "Su Hong, I heard that an organization has recently emerged in your Changfeng Region, called 'Lingxiao Palace', and it has a very big momentum, and you are still supporting it behind the scenes, is that true or not?"

"Haha, it's just a minor fight, not worth mentioning." Su Hong smiled, which was considered as his agreement.

Ji Haoxuan frowned and said in a cold voice: "This elder is asking you a question, you just need to answer yes or no!"

Su Hong cursed inwardly upon hearing this, and then said, "Yes, it is true, but it is a bit of a rumor to say that I am supporting Lingxiao Palace behind the scenes. Lingxiao Palace is a fair and just organization..."

Before Su Hong finished speaking, Ji Haoxuan interrupted him and said in an unquestionable tone: "From now on, Lingxiao Palace will be in my charge. I will be the master of this palace!"

"Haha, Senior Ji, I just said that Lingxiao Palace is a fair and just organization, and I am just an ordinary member in it. If you want to be the palace master, you can choose to join Lingxiao Palace first. After a while, Lingxiao Palace will hold the first palace master election. If you can win the votes of all the palace members, you can naturally get the position of palace master." Su Hong explained.

"Stop talking nonsense, Su Hong. We are all smart people. Everyone knows what you are planning? Fair and just? Haha! This elder will be the hall master. You can do whatever you want!" Ji Haoxuan snorted coldly.

"This... I'm sorry, I can't do anything about it." Su Hong said in a deep voice, and for the first time his tone sounded a little tough.

Upon seeing this, Ji Haoxuan wanted to teach Su Hong a lesson, but he saw Ji Gulan holding a photo stone and recording him. He immediately shot a divine thought at it, and the photo stone exploded immediately.

Then Ji Haoxuan said with a grim face: "Ji Gulan, this elder's patience with you is limited, don't push it too far, otherwise it won't just be the stone that will break next time!"

Ji Gulan was not afraid of this at all, and said calmly: "Elder Haoxuan, you must also remember the instructions of the ancestor. Also, the photo stone that you just destroyed can transmit information to the elder in real time, which means that the elder has already known what happened just now. For your future, I hope you can think twice before acting."

Seeing that Ji Gulan dared to contradict him, Ji Haoxuan could no longer hold back his rage and shot a divine thought towards Ji Gulan's brows, apparently preparing to kill Ji Gulan.

However, the moment Ji Haoxuan's attack touched Ji Gulan, it was bounced away by an unknown force.

At the same time, a vicissitudes of life voice sounded from a token on Ji Gulan's body: "Ji Haoxuan, you are so bold that even my words are useless, right?"

Ji Haoxuan's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he said in panic: "Haoxuan dare not, Haoxuan was confused for a moment, I beg the elder to forgive me this time!"

"This is just the first time. If you do it again, you will be punished according to family rules!" said the elder calmly.

"Thank you, Great Elder!" Ji Haoxuan bowed. The Great Elder was the eldest brother of the ancestor Ji Hao whom he relied on. Like Ji Hao, he was also a 9th-level Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor. He was one of the only two 9th-level powerhouses in the Ji family. The Ji family could firmly become the strongest force in the Qiongzu Universe because they were the only force with two 9th-level powerhouses, and both of them were very strong. Any one of them could withstand the joint attack of the other major forces.

If the Great Elder really wanted to attack him, no one in the Ji family would dare to stop him. Ji Haoxuan knew that he was doted on by Ji Hao, but he was not so arrogant that Ji Hao would turn against the Great Elder for him.

…………

After a long time, the Great Elder's voice was no longer heard. Ji Haoxuan then carefully asked Ji Gulan: "Has the Great Elder left?"

Ji Gulan said calmly: "The Great Elder is always here, but as long as you don't do anything out of line, he won't show up."

Ji Haoxuan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and his face regained its defiant expression. However, he did not threaten Su Hong again. Instead, he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I know that you are here to plot against the identity of the Lord of Lingxiao Palace, but this elder is here to tell you that I will definitely be the Lord, and you will know what to do when the time comes!"
