Chapter 2742: Chapter 2745: Who Is That Person?

”Senior Pang, allow me to first keep it a secret. Jiang Chen isn’t sure if that person was joking or being serious. You’ll know once they arrive. Let me first see which senior needs to give up their seat.”

Tang Jie cupped his fists towards Pang Wenqing with an apologetic smile, then turned to look at the three tables along the central line.

”It seems that this old man will indeed have to give up his seat!”

A laugh came from an elder at the table in the middle of the front row as he stood up.

This elder was a Saint Realm expert and a supporter of Pang Guang among the older generation. He stood up willingly at this moment.

”No offense, senior, Jiang Chen said that today, all seniors who relinquish their seats will receive a God Concealing Pill as a token of apology. Although the pill might not be of much effect for you, it’s still a gesture of goodwill. I hope you won’t mind!”

Tang Jie cupped his fists to the elder, took a jade vial out of his Space Ring, and handed it over.

”Jiang Chen is truly a good friend!”

”Indeed, this is an Eighth-Grade Elixir, effective even for Saint Realm experts!”

”To prevent Pang Guang from offending others, Jiang Chen has truly gone above and beyond!”

”To have a friend like Mr. Jiang, Xiaoguang is really lucky!”

The guests in the banquet hall began to discuss among themselves.

Pang Guang trembled, a warm feeling surged in his heart, and a look of gratitude appeared in his eyes. Deep within, he felt the sentiment of being willing to die for a confidant!

”Haha, Mr. Jiang has gone to great lengths!”

The standing elder chuckled lightly, reached out to take the God Concealing Pill, and any hint of dissatisfaction over the wasted trip completely vanished.

The God Concealing Pill can heal Primordial Spirit injuries. Although its efficacy diminishes at the Saint Realm, it’s not entirely ineffective. Moreover, the rarity of the elixir is secondary to the respect Jiang Chen afforded the departing guests.

With Jiang Chen’s current renown and the power behind him, he could easily have Tang Jie drive the others off. Leaving because of lesser skill is normal, yet he offered a token of compensation. Such a humble gesture made those leaving feel deeply respected.

As the Saint Expert left, Tang Jie’s gaze returned to the table of Pang Guang’s older supporters.

”Tang Jie, still more seniors? These four spots are now empty!”

Seeing Tang Jie’s gaze, Pang Guang spoke up in surprise.

”Jiang Chen said at least five Saint Monarch strong ones are coming on his side.”

Tang Jie spoke softly.

”Five Saint Monarch strong ones!?”

Everyone was stunned. Five Saint Monarchs is a formidable alliance for the entire Canghai Trade Alliance. In this heir competition, the other four candidates combined haven’t invited as many Saint Monarchs. Yet Jiang Chen alone brought five for Pang Guang, leaving everyone deeply shaken.

”It seems I too must leave now!”

A Saint Expert stood up with a smile.

”No offense, senior!”

Tang Jie raised his hand, cupped his fists in salute, and handed over a porcelain vial.

The Saint Expert took the vial with a smile, and Pang Guang stepped forward to apologize and pay his respects.

”No worries!”

The Saint Expert lightly laughed, waved, and exited the banquet hall.

Those leaving didn’t just depart; if they were made to leave immediately, it would reflect poorly on the Canghai Trade Alliance’s hospitality. Outside the banquet hall, Meng Tingchuan was already waiting, having escorted the first Saint Expert to a small adjacent chamber.

After sending off two saints, Tang Jie looked again towards the second row of tables.

The guests in the banquet hall were momentarily stunned again. Tang Jie scratched his head, uncertainly saying, ”If the Family Head or Great Elder can’t come, should the family’s sole direct heir represent the family?”

”If it’s the continent’s top power, then yes, it is possible.”

Pang Guang quickly responded.

”This... never mind.”

Tang Jie turned to Pang Wenqing: ”Senior Pang, Jiang Chen means that the girl is only here to show face, then her family will come to take her back. There’s no need to arrange a seat, but it should count towards the connections Pang Guang made, right?”

”This...”

Pang Wenqing hesitated, then turned to look at the five senior elders of the alliance.

”Of course, that’s not possible!”

Pang Wenzheng spoke decisively.

”Elder Pang, it was your decision. When the girl arrives, I’ll tell her you disagreed. She’s quite excited to help Jiang Chen. If she finds out you thwarted her, don’t blame me if she gives you trouble. If she really stirs things up and calls her family’s elders, Elder Pang might not be able to handle it.”

Pang Guang looked at Pang Wenzheng placidly.

Everyone in the banquet hall was stunned, mouths agape in amazement.

The Saint Elders of the Canghai Trade Alliance can’t handle the tantrum of a little girl? This...

”Young Master Tang is threatening me? If such a thing happens, it can only be said Pang Guang is at fault.”

Pang Wenzheng spoke coolly.

”What Pang Guang’s fault? I see you’re intentionally making things difficult. Do you look down on my Thunder Ming Beast clan?”

A sharp voice echoed as a group entered the banquet hall through the door.

Leading the group was an endearing but fiery-tempered young girl, followed by a young man beside her, looking helpless but doting, with a phantom image at his side. Behind them were five elders, three middle-aged men, and a young man and woman.

”Elder Liu?!”

”Elder Yuan?!”

”Old Master Su?!”

”Old Fan?!”

Recognizing a few from this group, many exclaimed with surprise.

”That silhouette is... a Spirit Avatar?!”

”Oh my, who are they?”

Seeing the Spirit Avatar caught everyone’s attention and they were amazed.

The Spirit Avatar didn’t completely conceal its aura, emanating a powerful presence as grand as a mountain, vast as the starry sky, instilling a soul-shocking pressure in everyone in the hall.

”Pang Wenqing greets everyone. May I ask this senior’s name...”

Pang Wenqing’s expression shifted, and he hastily stepped forward to Jiang Chen and company, bowing deeply to them before looking nervously at the Spirit Avatar.

”No need to investigate, I merely accompanied Mr. Jiang to take a look and ask a question.”

The phantom Spirit Avatar glanced upward, then looked down at Pang Wenqing: ”My Spirit Avatar is here, can it be counted as a participant?”

”It counts! Of course, it counts!”

No longer hesitating, Pang Wenqing quickly nodded, having just received a sound transmission from a top power in the alliance, leaving him alarmed with a racing heart.

That powerhouse is a Supreme being and yet claimed to be inferior to this Spirit Avatar? Just how powerful must this senior’s true form be?!

”That’s fine, then. I shall leave first, so you won’t feel uncomfortable.”

The Spirit Avatar waved a hand, turned, and looked at Jiang Chen: ”Mr. Jiang, I will take my leave first.”

”Thank you, senior!”

Jiang Chen cupped his fists and bowed in respect.

All those behind him, including Old Fan, bowed in respect, with Pang Wenqing following suit.
