yLet me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!But there's no need to dwell on these issues, not with those three words.Because... that's the Ghost Gate.Appearing in countless lege...In the resplendent Changhe Dragon Palace, the grandest banquet in the world is unfolding in all its splendor.

Over the ages, delicacies have been displayed on banquet tables, and talented individuals from all countries and regions have gathered here.

Those relics left behind in the long river of time gleam with brilliance.

Superior Dao Arts, secret transmissions from a hundred schools... The humans dominating the present world never hesitate to showcase their future at the Dragon Palace Banquet.

In this era of gathering storm clouds, confident and arrogant human prodigies are letting loose their talents.

What a magnificent sight!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Dragon Palace feast usually lasts for seven days and seven nights, but in just one day and night, there have already been many brilliant moments.

For example, the exciting match between Huang Bu Dong from Qin and Ye Lan'er from the Sanfen Xiangli Tower, for example, the passionate challenge of Yan Shaofei from Wei against Chen Si Wu from Song.

For example, Ji Li leaps to seize the ancient scroll, and Zhao Wu Yan snatches the Ghost Pearl with bare hands...

The scenery of this world will never be bleak because someone has left.

It's nothing more than one star fading while another shines. A long time spent among the stars and galaxies.

At a certain moment, a domineering voice suddenly boomed: "Now that the Dragon Gate is open, it's time for the world to witness the splendor of Chu!"

People looked around and saw that Zhongli Yan had stood up, then they turned their heads again.

The Dragon Palace banquet was in full swing. Besides Jiang Wang, who had temporarily stepped away, the most anticipated guests were Dou Zhao of Chu, Chong Xuanzun of Qi, Qin Zhizhen of Qin, Huang Sheli of Jing, and Xi Xiangyi, who controlled the puppet "Ming Gui" made by a real person.

As for this short-sighted hawk’s... who is that

Zhong Liyan’s gaze was sharp, he felt as though wherever his eyes fell, people would instinctively make way. Truly, he commanded respect even without raising his voice!

"Why don't you all look at me" His hawk-like eyes swept across the crowd with an air of domineering authority: "What, in this grand Dragon Palace, where heavenly prodigies gather, is there no one besides Dou Zhao, Chong Xuanzun, Qin Zhizhen, Huang Shali, and Xi Xiangyi... who dares to challenge Zhongli Yan!"

He had been pondering these words for a long time, and wanted to say them for just as long.

He, Zhongli Yan and Dou Zhao were evenly matched, as was their rivalry with Jiang Wang. Dou Zhao mocked him, but he couldn't be mocked!

And he was very strict, having already eliminated several who were evenly matched with him. Doesn't this intimidate the entire audience now

But as soon as the words were spoken——

With an expressionless face, few swallows flew. The heavy snow concealed the season's warmth. Zhongshan Wei Sun... Almost everyone in the room stood up, each with a cold gaze upon him, the atmosphere momentarily frozen.

"Are you afraid to look at me, or are you just looking down on me Can't you tell the difference" a voice said from the crowd.

"Who said that Come out and duel me!" Zhongli glared angrily.

Li Guo's Fan Wushu laughed heartily, masking his rage: "When speaking of Chu land's splendor, people expect Dou Zhao, yet you, Zhongli Yan, stand up instead. Isn't this like selling dog meat under the guise of mutton You haven't even gained as much fame as I have. Outside of Nan Yu, who even knows you!"

Zhongli Yan wasn't afraid of getting beaten, he was afraid of losing face. He held his head high and let out a grunt: "Today, I'll have you all recognize me!"

"Well, well, so arrogant! Come on then, let this young master play a few hands with you!" Fan Wujue said as he walked over from his seat. After all, it was just a friendly game between friends; if he didn't come out and put on a show, Zhongli Yan wouldn't be leaving in one piece today.

Zhong Liyan was just bad-tempered and narrow-minded, but his brain wasn't bad. He immediately went with the flow: "Since that's the case, this seat will show you what it means to be the number one in martial arts—"

The palace gates swung open at this very moment.

A man with a long sword hanging at his waist, handsome and graceful, stood in the light that surged into the hall.

Her skin was as white as jade, so white that it was almost blinding.

He held a square gift box in his left hand, pressed his right hand to his chest, and bowed slightly with a faint smile: "Have I disturbed your enjoyment"

"Who is this"

"Bai Yu Xia!"

Questions and answers arose from the crowd.

After all, he has participated in the main competition of the Huanghe River meeting. Many people still recognize him.

Nobody could question Bai Yu Xia's eligibility to attend the banquet; people only wondered why he was late.

“He seems to be with Jiang Wang...”

"Is the wine shop open at Xingyueyuan"

The crowd was whispering to each other.

Bai Yu's gaze swept across the hall, searching for a while without finding anything, and she couldn't help but ask: "Where is Jingli Xiaosheng"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Huang Sheli looked at him enthusiastically: "Master Jingli had something to do and returned to Xuankong Temple beforehand. If you have anything, feel free to ask me, I also understand Buddhism!"

With a polite expression of thanks, Bai Yu Xia walked gracefully towards the hall.

Because everyone who could divine at the entire Baiyu Pavilion was involved in the pursuit of Zhuang Gaoxian, only the one responsible for granting blessings to customers remained unaware. Before coming over, Jiang Wang had also asked him to try to appease… this way, both ends are served nicely.

He walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to the Dragon King: “Bai Yu Xia greets Your Majesty, the Dragon King.”

Chang He Long Jun nodded slightly, as a response.

"Jade, I handwrote your invitation... welcome to the gathering." As the chief steward of the Huanghe Palace, Fu Yunqin, representing the Dragon Palace, after exchanging pleasantries, asked the question everyone was concerned about: "Will Jiang Wang be returning"

All eyes were on Bai Yu, who bowed gracefully. "The master has something else to attend to and couldn't come personally," she said. "He asked me to offer this gift to the Dragon Lord."

Fu Yunqin was looking at the gift box, of course he already knew what was inside, but he still asked, "What did Jiang Wang send"

"Allow me to offer this!"

Bai Yu Xia gently brushed her sleeve, strode gracefully, walking from the center of the hall all the way to Emperor Ao Shu Yi's throne. She passed by everyone's seats and opened the gift box in her hand, holding it high—

Inside the gift box was a head, covered in blood and with a strange, eerie smile, as if alive!

In the sudden silence amidst a gathering of prodigies, Bai Yu Xia declared loudly: "The ruler of Zhuang Guo, Zhen Ren Zhuang Gao Xian, who has been secretly supporting the slave trade of the Shui tribe and profiting from it immensely, is now beheaded!"

>

Of course, enslaving merfolk was just one of his crimes. During his reign, he wantonly killed loyal officials, committed countless atrocities, reversed black and white, confused right and wrong, sacrificed hundreds of thousands of citizens to ascend to the throne of Truth-Seeker, and acted without morality or virtue, his sins are unforgivable!

“The host intercepted him at the long river, pursued him for thousands of miles, and finally beheaded Zhuang Gaoxian within his own domain, eliminating this great scourge from the world. With this skull, I respectfully present it to the Dragon Lord, proving the kinship between humans and water creatures!”

A hush fell over the entire room!

While the world’s prodigies were still vying for positions at the Dragon Palace banquet, Jiang Wang had already drawn his sword and slain a true immortal!

There must be something else going on here, it couldn't just be as simple as Li Yi Heng sword-defeating Cang Ming. But the fact that Zhuang Gao Xian's head is here is undeniable!

Above the high seat, Ao Shu also fell silent.

Although we don't know what methods Zhuang Chengqian used to hide the aquatic bloodline within his descendants. And Zhuang Gaoxian never revealed it until his death.

But Jiang Wang is the one who knows the truth.

Having killed Zhuang Gaoxian, a thorough investigation of his person will easily reveal the source.

A human with the bloodline of aquatic creatures becoming the rightful emperor of the orthodox human nation is a monumental shock. This fact alone can nail Zhuang Gao Xian to the pillar of shame, leaving him forever disgraced and beyond redemption in the eyes of the world.

Ke Jiangwang did not choose to do so.

At this time, Zhuang Gao's crimes had been proven by the spirits of Fenglin City.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

And exposing Zhuang Gaoxian's water clan lineage would certainly provoke even deeper conflict between humans and aquatic creatures.

The exploitation of the Qingjiang Water Tribes by Zhuang Chengqian and the enslavement and oppression inflicted by Zhuang Gaoxian reflect a broader historical context: the dramatic decline in the status of water tribes since ancient times. This reached its lowest point with Emperor Jing of the State of Jin's massacre of the Heavenly King of Shenchi.

Once the aquatic bloodline of Zhuang Gaoxian is exposed, it will only shift the focus of public opinion.

The human race will ask, what is the intention of the Aquatic Clan hiding blood for the human monarch Perhaps even sacrificing the Hundred Thousand people in Fenglin City was a tactic used to lead humans into a larger conspiracy. For example, the hatred of the Aquatic Clan towards humanity. This is almost inexplicable!

The aquatic creatures will also ask, is Zhuang Gaoxian the direct descendant of Zhuang Chengqian He was a legitimate heir to the throne, a proper emperor. Why did he meet such a tragic end while serving as emperor Is having aquatic blood in one's veins a reason to be killed

This gift, as Jiang Wang said—

"As members of the same tribe, sworn to truth."

He killed Zhuang Gaoxian, exposing Zhuang Gaoxian's crimes, but did not reveal Zhuang Gaoxian's bloodline because he did not consider bloodline to be Zhuang Gaoxian's sin.

On that deathbed, upon receiving news that his son had topped the entrance exam to the Daoist academy, the father finally closed his eyes in peaceful slumber. He had always told his son:

Your choice determines the person you become.

It's not about who your father and mother are.

In this small town, the diligent druggist and the woman washing clothes by the Phoenix Creek have also given birth to a prodigy who is the envy of the world!

There was a brief silence in the great hall. After a moment, Chang He Dragon Monarch said: "This gift from Jiang Wang is given with much thoughtfulness. I accept it."

The gift box carrying Zhuang Gaoxian's severed head was closed, cutting off the curious gazes of the onlookers.

Then Bai Yu's said, "White [Name] will take his leave."

"Welcome everyone to the Star Moon Lake White Jade Hall. Our restaurant gathers renowned chefs from across the land, boasts a collection of fine wines from all six kingdoms, and offers excellent value for money. We guarantee honest prices and quality products for all!"

"Cough!" Fu Yunqin coughed, stopping his unfinished promotion.

Jìlǐ, from the Mùgǔ Academy, said, "Brother Bái, won't you stay to participate in the Dragon Palace feast"

This is a simple translation task. Could you please provide me with the text within the tags so I can translate it for you

Since Yue Guo and Mu Gu Books Institute were so close, many students from the institute worked in the imperial court. Both of them were outstanding individuals and naturally knew each other.

Bai Yu Xia stopped, thought for a moment, and smiled: "People from the Bai Yu Jing have always been ambitious. Compared to playing under the protection of the Dragon King, I find hunting down real people more exciting and interesting..."

He stopped there, raised his hands in a circle, and said: "Please enjoy your drinks, Jade Imperfection takes her leave!"

Zhongli Yan, who had already warmed up and prepared for a friendly match, was left out in the cold, his back teeth itching with frustration.

This blatant show-off is really annoying!

However, there was no way to refute it.

Who else can find a real person to act as an opponent in a duet

Zhuang Gao is extremely guilty of a heinous crime! He deserves to die!

Jiang Wang is blind! A lash for you!

Since Baiyu Xia is also invited, why not ask Zhongli You don't know that removing harm for the people is exactly what Zhongli desires!

Huang He's chief steward, Fu Yunqin, held a gift box containing the head in his hand and asked, "Where is Zhuang Gaoxian's body"

Bai Yu Xia replied, "It was burned. To prevent him from dying incompletely. Even this skull, it's been burned over once."

Fu Yun nodded, he just didn't want Zhuang Gao Xian's aquatic bloodline to be known by more people. If Jiang Wang and the others hadn't handled it cleanly, he would also help clean up the traces. At this time, he said again: "The real person has been killed, and the gift has been sent. I wonder what Jiang Wang is busy with now that he doesn't have time to return. That matter, is it more important than the Dragon Palace Banquet"

"Accompanying his sister," Bai Yu Xia smiled faintly.

Then he turned and left.

This is spring in the year 3923.

Jiang Wang could finally announce to the world the existence of his younger sister, Jiang An'an.

Bai Yu Xia left, and the palace gate closed again.

Only the news that Jiang Wang was miles away, pursuing and killing real people remained, like a boulder striking water, causing ripples across the hearts of the people. Their minds were no longer at peace.

That was a true master of the time!

You are a welcome guest anywhere in the world.

Even if a country is weak and its foundation is poor, as long as it produces one truly great person, it can be transformed instantly. With a little effort, it can become a regional power.

The manifestation of a deity slaying a human, it is unheard of in historical records!

But from then on, it was recorded in history.

Looking back at today's era, no matter how one writes about it, the name "Jiang Wang" inevitably comes to mind...

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

History is the greatest glory.

But how many people would remember, on a certain day, at a certain time, during a certain Dragon Palace banquet, what someone did

Unless someone steps forward and gives the Dragon King a sword strike now, perhaps that will be remembered!

Jiang Wang indeed needn't return to the Dragon Palace banquet; everyone at the Dragon Palace banquet would need to look up to him.

Long Jun once said that if Jiang Wang were absent from a banquet, the atmosphere would be considerably dull.

What was just a polite remark has now become true!

Ye Qingyu at this time laid down her string, put away her qin, and leisurely packed some delicacies unique to the Dragon Palace. Then she spoke, "Qingyu also wants to bid farewell to the Dragon King first. Thank you for your generous hospitality. The scenery of the Dragon Palace is unforgettable for Qingyu in this lifetime."

Fu Yunqin looked at this woman who was even elegant when packing up, with questioning eyes.

Ye Qingyu said seriously: "There's a little dog at home. I forgot to leave food for it when I went out. I can't bear to leave it, so I have to go back and take a look."

Fu Yunqin smiled: "The Dragon Palace Banquet is a banquet for the proud. There's no reason not to let guests leave. Please feel free to go, Qingyu."

Ye Qingyu once again paid her respects, then gracefully rose to her feet.

“Miss Ye, are you returning to the Cloud Kingdom” The most important person at the entire Dragon Palace banquet spoke at this moment, his smile warm and approachable: “I just happen to have some business in your country. We could go together, wouldn’t that be nice On the way, we can also discuss some details of cooperation.”

Ye Qingyu followed the sound and looked towards Daqi Bo望hou, but just happened to catch the gaze of the cold and beautiful woman beside him.

Li Fengyao's voice was frosty but light: "He said, we."

"Yes, yes, yes." Chong Xuan immediately added, "We're going together. As for this deal, Sister Li also has a stake in it!"

Ye Qingyu looked at the two of them, smiling and politely said: "To live with good people is like entering a room filled with orchids. Both of you are talented and kind people from noble families. To be able to travel with you is my greatest wish."

Then the three departed together, bidding farewell to the feast.

Ye Qingyu's fairy-like appearance was otherworldly, while Li Fengyao was tall and coldly beautiful. Walking on either side of Chongxuan Sheng, they both appeared even more graceful.

As Ye Qingyu was walking towards the palace gate, she suddenly felt something in her heart and turned her head.

The nun named Yuzhen, seated in the central position within the hall, merely gazed at her silently, without uttering a word.

Ye Qingyu nodded lightly, as a gesture.

Their eyes met briefly, then looked away calmly. Above the clouds, within the dust of the world.

Ye Lan supported her chin with her hand, watching them with great interest. She thought to herself, "This Dragon Palace Gate, it's like an empty gate! One walking outside, one sitting inside."

The excitement in her eyes slowly faded, leaving only a silent sigh.

I just discovered that the Red Heart Book Lovers Party is incredibly large.

The last few chapters of the previous volume had 54,000 subscribers. Is this the real number of readers
