As soon as Yifan said this, Fei Na immediately smiled and said, “I said, so it was the two of them. No wonder…”

“I’m looking forward to hearing your words …!”

Ji Ruoxue immediately echoed, “En, the two of them are really worth looking forward to …”

“And probably won’t disappoint anyone, then let’s wait and see…”

Ruoxue’s words ended the topic of the celebration night for the three of them.

Next, they talked about the development of the Rock Soul Empire, as well as the future direction…

Along the way, the three of them stopped walking, like ordinary couples, pulling out long shadows under the setting sun…

…

…

On the traditional New Year’s Eve in Magic crystals, on December 30, 1999, the central square of Al-Quds Al-Sharif was brightly lit.

As the highlight of the celebration night, the venue of the Hundred Clans Banquet was naturally heavily guarded.

The entire plaza was firmly guarded by the Rock Soul Battalion, the Dark Battalion, and the Dark Battalion.

At the center of the plaza, there were a hundred stone dining tables with different characteristics…

On the various tables, the Rock Soul Empire’s large and medium-sized faction lords, foreign race leaders, and even their relatives were all sitting proudly with a bit of solemnity.

He was proud because his own faction could stand out from countless other factions in the Rock Soul Empire…

It was solemn because at the very front of them, on a simple and dignified black dining table, Lord Rock Emperor, the head of the Rock Soul Empire, was sitting upright on it.

The Hundred Races Banquet was originally a pilgrimage banquet. Furthermore, even though all the power masters present had seen the statues of the Rock Emperor, there weren’t many who had seen the Rock Emperor’s true self at such a close distance.

Who was the Rock Emperor? He was an invincible expert, and he was also the ruler of their own faction. Seeing him at such a close distance, they naturally didn’t dare to make a mistake.

That was why he looked a little solemn, even nervous…

As for Yifan, his strength had reached his level, coupled with his long-term leadership temperament, he naturally didn’t have the slightest bit of stage fright.

At this moment, he casually glanced at the nervous crowd below.

However, this glance of his was somewhat like a different life, because it allowed him to see a few acquaintances from his previous life, or rather, celebrities…

Yeah, that’s right, the celebrities of his previous life…

In fact, some of these celebrities have had contact with Yifan before…

For example, the Blood Emperor Qilan who helped the Cao Clan set up a Blood Beast Camp during the battle with Yifan and left the Cao Clan after the two Qing Dynasties…

For example, Martial Emperor Hong Wenchang, who had originally worked for the Lin Clan and insisted on traveling after the Lin Clan was destroyed…

At this moment, they were all sitting at the banquet table with some embarrassment…

As for the remaining acquaintances, they were indeed acquaintances of Yifan’s previous life, or rather, acquaintances that he had heard of in his previous life…

For example, the main body was a wooden vine type Demon Emperor. At this moment, the Azure Emperor was looking at him with admiration.

Another example was the Bone Emperor who was exceptionally tall, born with a strange bone armor, and had a nervous expression on his face…

Yes, that’s right, they are peak Emperor level experts in their previous lives…

However, at this moment, they were all sitting respectfully at the Rock Soul Empire’s Hundred Clans Banquet…

Most of the people looked at Yifan with reverence and even admiration in their eyes.

It was precisely this gaze of theirs that made Yifan feel as if he was in another world…

However, it was only a moment before Yifan returned to normal…

After all, these were only Yunyan from his previous life. Moreover, Ji Ruoxue, an Emperor-level expert, had been following Yifan since the end of his life. He had long since gotten used to them.

In fact, if it wasn’t for the rare gathering of these people today, Yifan would have forgotten about this.

However, it was also when Yifan was watching with interest that Li Li, the head of the banquet, quietly came to Yifan’s side and whispered.

“Lord Rock Emperor, everything has been arranged properly. We can host the banquet now …!”

Hearing this, Yifan nodded, signaling that he understood. At the same time, he suddenly stood up…

Seeing Yifan stand up, even though he hadn’t spoken, the gazes of everyone present had already refused to hand him over…

The latter said solemnly, “Good evening, everyone. As masters, welcome the leaders of the city-states to the Holy City of the Rock Soul Empire. Thank you for your collective pilgrimage.”

“As the Empire Lord of the Rock Soul Empire, I am proud to have powerful tribes like you …!”

“Today was originally New Year’s Eve, and it was also the first celebration night since the founding of our Rock Soul Empire …!”

“Then listen up. Let go of the food and drink. We must not get drunk today.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire arena boiled with excitement, and the leaders of the city-states all shouted in unison.

“I will obey the orders of the Rock Emperor. If you don’t get drunk, you won’t be able to return!”

Seeing that everyone was like this, Yifan immediately picked up the wine glass on the table and said solemnly, “Good, very good. Leaders, let’s drink this cup together.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yifan immediately took control and respectfully drank the first glass of wine. The leaders of the hundred City-States below were also respectfully drinking the first glass of wine from afar.

After this first glass of wine, the atmosphere became lively and the people on the table began to slowly get familiar with each other.

Moreover, Li Li and Han Xiaoxuan’s designs for their seats weren’t one table for each clan, but rather, they were very exquisite to open for them.

Of course, this was not to forcefully tear apart the other party’s companions, but to intentionally mix the two races together…

For example, Helidia, the highest ranking official in Sea Race, the Emperor of Crab Race, and their two personal guards were sitting at the same table as the highest ranking official in Antarctic Demonic Region.

As for the other higher-ups and even the other guards, they were all sitting at another table. Similarly, the originally extremely tense relationship between the two sides had dissipated.

In fact, they began to talk and laugh, causing Yifan to sigh in admiration for their brilliance.

And then, after the banquet officially started, it naturally wouldn’t be a dry and silly drink…

The entire banquet group officially began their performance…

Amidst the ancient music, a group of exotic beauties, dancers, slowly stepped onto the central stage…

These dancers were all of good looks and temperament. They were obviously the elites of their race, but this appearance caused the eyes of many city-state leaders to fall to the ground.

Even Yifan’s eyes lit up and he was stunned for a moment.

However, it was only an instant before he returned to normal. Of course, at this moment, he naturally could not escape Fina and Ruoxue’s eyes.

But even so, the two of them did not react at all. Obviously, they trusted Yifan very much…

After all, if other people didn’t understand, how could they not understand their own men…

Classical music, gentle dance, and decorations of special abilities, this group of dancers danced in the sky, truly intoxicating like fairies.

After the dance, the scene became unsettled for a long time, and some city-state leaders even shouted for another dance…

Of course, such a request would naturally not be accepted, because the banquet program was strictly controlled by Li Li and Han Xiaoxuan.

Moreover, every program at the banquet was chosen by them, so they naturally couldn’t change the festival at will…

As the banquet continued, the stage did not stop. Countless unique abilities and techniques of the Adept Age appeared on this stage one after another.

At the same time, a string of tables began to appear on the banquet table of the hundred races below. Clearly, they were completely drunk…

In fact, not only was it below, even Yifan, who was at the top of the table, had the courage to come up and toast…

As for this first bold fellow, he was naturally Hong Wenchang…

This fellow was a little embarrassed before. After all, he had rejected Yifan’s offer to recruit or even retain him, but now, he had appeared in the ranks of his factions.

I’m a little sorry, Yifan, but after a few glasses of wine, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about…

After all, he was familiar with Yifan because of the improvement of his martial arts. He knew that Yifan was not the kind of petty guy…

So, since they’re all here, there’s nothing to be pretentious about…

As soon as Hong Wenchang stood at Ding Yifan’s table, he immediately said respectfully, “Hong Wenchang, the subordinate of the Rock Soul Empire and the City Lord of Golden Mantis City, greets Lord Rock Emperor, the three Empress, and all of you.”

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this. Only Yifan chuckled and said, “Alright, who am I? So it’s Old Hong, an acquaintance. Why are you being so polite in such a scene? Are you here to toast?”

Hearing this, Hong Wenchang nodded, “Thank you, Lord Rock Emperor. However, there is a difference in respect. Old Hong doesn’t dare to act recklessly.”

Yifan smiled again, “Well, tell me, how can you toast this wine? If not, I won’t drink it…”

Fei Na, Ji Ruoxue, Xing Jie, Eyeglasses, Fang Mubai, and the others all had smiles on their faces as soon as these words were spoken. Obviously, they all knew that Yifan was mocking Hong Wenchang intentionally.

Even they could tell that Hong Wenchang couldn’t tell. He immediately smiled embarrassedly and said, “Alright, I know that Lord Rock Emperor will be somewhat displeased with me.”

“This matter is mainly because I, Old Hong, am stubborn. I didn’t cross the line of sight in my heart earlier. How about this, I’ll punish myself with three cups first…”

“What does Lord Rock Emperor think …!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Yifan said casually, “Three cups, it seems to be a little too little…”

“Answer me a few questions first. Once you answer the questions, I’ll grant you three cups of apology.”

Hong Wenchang was stunned when he heard this, but it was only for a moment. He immediately said solemnly, “Lord Rock Emperor, may I ask, Old Hong must know everything and speak endlessly…”

Yifan nodded, “Alright, that’s what I want. I have three questions. Listen carefully…”

“First, I will tell you if you have completed your mission …!”

“Second, have you contacted Old Fang after this trip?”

“Third, where were you when the Stone Alliance was attacked by the Sea Race …!”

Hong Wenchang was stunned by these three questions. The corners of his mouth trembled, but he couldn’t say a single word for a long time.
