Chapter 259 – The Five Great Elders Arrive Together! Commotion in the Banquet Hall!

“A heavyweight figure from the Ghost King Hall has arrived,” Tang Yu said, panic flashing in his eyes.

“Ghost King Hall?” Jiang Luo was unimpressed. His father was the deputy commander of the Spirit Guard—what kind of person hadn’t he seen before?

But Tang Yu’s next words nearly made his jaw drop.

“It’s the five Elders of the Shadow Hall arriving together! Even the Grand Elder, who never shows his face, is here!”

“What?!” Jiang Luo’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.

The Shadow Hall was already a force not to be trifled with!

The five Elders were its core members. On any ordinary day, it was difficult to catch a glimpse of even one of them—yet this time, all five had come together!

Even the notoriously mysterious Grand Elder had made an appearance. What was going on?

As news of the Shadow Hall’s five Elders arriving together spread through the vast banquet hall, the commotion grew increasingly intense.

Any one of the Shadow Hall’s five Elders was a figure capable of shaking the entire Dongsheng Province!

Let alone all five appearing at once?!

What on earth had happened?

What could possibly warrant the presence of all five Elders?!

…

Inside the banquet hall, unease spread like wildfire. Outside the Cloud Banquet Mansion, the entire building was brilliantly lit, with dignitaries coming and going.

But at this moment, as the important figures arrived, the area in front of the Cloud Banquet Mansion was completely cleared.

Only rows of figures clad in black robes remained standing, forbidding any unauthorized personnel from approaching.

A crowd of dignitaries retreated backward, not daring to confront these black-robed figures, knowing they were dealing with individuals they couldn’t afford to offend.

After a moment, a fleet of black luxury cars pulled up and stopped in front of the Cloud Banquet Mansion.

Then, the car doors opened, and five Elders emerged one after another, each with hair as white as snow.

Especially from the middle black luxury car, an Elder stepped out, leaning on a Ghost King-headed cane. He looked up at the Cloud Banquet Mansion with a faint smile.

Beside him, a sharp-eyed black-haired young woman supported him.

The crowd of dignitaries, herded to one side, whispered among themselves as they saw the five Elders appear.

“What’s going on?”

“The five Elders of the Ghost King Hall’s Shadow Hall have actually arrived together! What has happened?”

“Who has such weight to make all five Elders appear?”

The dignitaries recognized the origins of the five Elders, each expressing surprise.

The gathering of all five Elders was a scene that had not been seen in a hundred years!

“Shh! Quiet! These people are not to be provoked!” someone raised a finger to their lips, signaling for silence and reminding everyone not to gossip carelessly.

Within the entire Ghost King Hall System, the Shadow Hall was the most difficult to provoke!

They were responsible for intelligence and assassination… dealing in matters that shunned the light. Gossiping casually about the five giants of the Shadow Hall might very well mean their families would be collecting their bodies the next morning.

“Honored Master, aren’t we giving this kid too much face?” the black-haired young woman supporting the Grand Elder pouted.

The Grand Elder chuckled softly. He was over four hundred years old, and an aura of inevitable decline emanated from him. “Little girl, don’t be disrespectful. The one inside is the Hall Master of our Ghost King Hall!

We are all his subordinates—do not overstep!

Moreover, he is also a disciple of Emperor Lord Dongxuan…”

The Grand Elder shook his head. They could disregard others’ faces, but the face of the Great Emperor was something they absolutely could not ignore.

“A disciple of the Great Emperor!” The black-haired young woman fell silent.

A disciple of the Great Emperor!

This identity alone is more effective than any other.

“Little Wu, lead the way ahead!” The Grand Elder looked at the white-haired Wu Tiangong who had appeared alongside them.

Wu Tiangong carried a silver spear on his back, his entire body shrouded in a black robe. Upon hearing this, he nodded and took the lead, striding toward the Yunyan Building.

He had already invited the five Elders of the Shadow Hall. As for the rest… it was Ye Sheng’s matter now.

“Brother Tiangong…” The black-haired girl gazed at Wu Tiangong’s retreating figure, her eyes sparkling.

“Let’s go, old friends. Let’s meet our new Hall Master together!” The Grand Elder looked at the other four Elders and chuckled.

The Second Elder also smiled. “Let’s go. I’m curious too about why this Hall Master wants to see us old folks who are already on our last legs!”

The five of them strode forward together, heading into the Yunyan Building.

…

Inside the Yunyan Building, with the arrival of the five Elders of the Shadow Hall, the banquet naturally couldn’t continue, descending into chaos.

Tang Yu and the other young people were thus freed and planned to slip out through the back door to go wild at a bar.

“Wait!” Tang Yu called out to stop the group, squinting suspiciously at two figures by the railing upstairs. They looked somewhat familiar. “Am I seeing things? Is that Tang Hongyi and that kid Xu Xingchen?”

“Where?” Jiang Luo also stopped and followed Tang Yu’s gaze upward, indeed spotting two familiar figures from behind.

“It’s definitely them!”

Everyone recognized the pair.

“What are they doing in the Yunyan Building?” Tang Yu looked puzzled.

The Yunyan Building was a place only for the top elite; ordinary people simply didn’t have the qualifications to set foot inside.

That Tang Hongyi and Xu Xingchen, two outsiders who had just arrived, could enter the Yunyan Building was quite surprising to them.

“Let’s go up and say hello!” Tang Yu took the lead, heading toward where the two had disappeared.

Seeing this, Jiang Luo and the others quickly followed.

After spending half a month together on the Void cruise ship, everyone had gotten along quite well.

Since they’d run into each other, it only made sense to greet them.

…

A few minutes later.

Xu Xingchen looked utterly bewildered at Tang Yu and the group who had stopped him. “What are you all doing here?”

Tang Yu was amused by his question!

They were regulars at the Yunyan Building. Shouldn’t they be the ones asking Xu Xingchen and the other what they were doing here?

Xu Xingchen scratched his head. “I’m accompanying the boss today to entertain a few guests!”

Tang Hongyi also nodded with a smile, never expecting to run into Tang Yu and the others here.

“Guests? What guests?!” Tang Yu curled his lip.

It wasn’t that he looked down on Ye Sheng and the other two.

Even though they were students of Fengdu University, having just arrived in Dongsheng Province, what kind of people could they possibly know?

Their level was probably not even as high as ours!

Tang Yu slung an arm around Xu Xingchen’s shoulder and grinned mischievously. “Since you’re meeting guests, why not introduce us? We can help you save face and back you up, how about that?”

“Exactly!”

Jiang Luo and the other elite youths chuckled.

With their status, who in Dongsheng Province wouldn’t give them some respect?

Many City Lords from smaller cities were even trying to curry favor with them to get things done in the provincial capital!

With them backing them up, wouldn’t Ye Sheng’s guests look at them in a new light?

Hearing this, Xu Xingchen and Tang Hongyi couldn’t help but exchange glances.

How could someone like Tang Yu possibly back Ye Sheng up in front of the Shadow Hall?

“Um… there’s really no need to trouble yourself!” Xu Xingchen scratched his head, politely declining. “The boss is just meeting a few ordinary guests, no need to make such a big fuss!”

“Exactly!” Tang Hongyi chimed in.
