The hall suddenly became quiet as the people inside saw who walked in, they all rose to their feet and gave a salute. A delicate beauty walked hand in hand with a man of great presence."Sect Leader Jin! Lady Jin!"
The couple walked to the head of the room to take a seat on a high chair that looked as though it was carved out of ice crystals. Several totem that bore the emblem of the GuBaiJin sect was placed around the large hall.
The leader of the GuBaiJin sect gestured with his hand for them to settle down on their seats. Jin Ruimin rose from his seat, opening the banquet with a speech.
"As many of you know, our brothers and sisters were slain by the demon lord and his army. We have to show our respect to the lives that was lost in the hands of those evil beasts!"
Streaming into the hall carrying trays of wine, female servants from the GuBaiJin sect in plain green robes and hair looped in a b.u.t.terfly style, went from table to table to serve the tray of wine to the people seated.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"Join me in paying respect to the departed souls whose lives were cut short! How long are we going to stand and continue to allow this depravity to needlessly take lives! Are our lives more precious than their"s?! Let us not act as cowards, but rise up and bring the reign of terror to an end!"
The people gathered at the banquet were not expecting the impa.s.sioned words of the GuBaiJin sect leader. One by one, they rose to their feet including Jin Huiyan, the mistress of the GuBaiJin sect.

After this, the sect leader of the GuBaiJin sect took his seat and was soon joined by the rest of them.
The demon lord"s mouth lifted in a secret smile, he knew that the most dangerous person in the room was the one who pretended to be the friend of the people, but in reality was a poisonous wasp whose venom may never come to light until the person had breathed their last.
The Fox King"s face held little emotion in them as he coolly looked at Jin Ruimin and his wife by the head of the hall.
Chen Yueming looked gravely at the faces in the room, but his heart was far away from what was taking place.
Xu Hui held onto the cup in her hand after the others had placed their on the table, tightly holding on to it until it shattered in her hands, causing a sliver of it to tear at the skin of her palms.

"Lady Li?"
