Chapter 1507 - 1504 Birthday Celebration Day!

Chapter 1507: Chapter 1504 Birthday Celebration Day!

Sky-splitting Army Marquis came to Zhu Chang’s side, lightly chuckled and said: "Patriarch Zhu, please ease your mind. Today, I have already brought the Sky-splitting Legion, so I shall assist you with all my might in the matters you are concerned about."

"Thank you very much, Lord Marquis," Zhu Chang replied, expressing his gratitude by clasping his hands.

Sky-splitting Army Marquis said indifferently: "Originally, on your birthday, the Imperial Consort was supposed to return personally to wish you well, but her highness holds a noble position and it is inconvenient for her to leave the Imperial Capital!"

"Her highness heard that Patriarch Zhu has been troubled by some trifles recently, and thus asked me to visit Zhu’s Fairy City."

"Patriarch Zhu, since I have already arrived, I can assure you that your family will face no trouble!"

Sky-splitting Army Marquis said with a gentle smile.

"With these words from the Marquis, I truly feel immensely grateful. Please, Lord Marquis, take a seat. The birthday feast is about to begin, and I will make sure to join the Marquis for a few drinks," Zhu Chang expressed his profound gratitude to the Sky-splitting Army Marquis.

Sky-splitting Army Marquis gave a slight smile and settled down into his seat. At the banquet, Zhu Chang had specifically arranged a table for the Sky-splitting Army Marquis and the dozen or so Colonels under his command, setting them together.

Before long, Zhu’s house was filled with guests, and the atmosphere was incredibly lively.

Zhu Chang stood up and proclaimed: "Today is my birthday celebration, and I thank you all for coming from afar to celebrate with me."

"I have prepared a feast with plenty of drinks today; everyone must drink until they drop," Zhu Chang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Patriarch Zhu!"

"Thank you, Patriarch Zhu!"

Each guest, with a smile on their face, stood up and raised their glasses.

Zhu Chang lifted his glass and bowed to the entire venue, then drained his glass in one gulp.

"Lord Marquis, please," Zhu Chang filled another glass and smiled at the Sky-splitting Army Marquis.

"Patriarch Zhu, please," the Sky-splitting Army Marquis, with a light chuckle, lifted his glass and looked at Zhu Chang.

The two exchanged a smile and drank a glass each.

"Lord Marquis, please enjoy, I need to go and greet other guests," Zhu Chang said with a light laugh.

"Patriarch Zhu, please feel free, don’t mind us," the Sky-splitting Army Marquis said with a light chuckle.

Zhu Chang smiled slightly, readying to step down with his glass in hand to drink a few rounds with some old acquaintances.

But just at this moment!

A voice suddenly echoed from the sky above Zhu’s residence.

"Hearing that Patriarch Zhu Chang has his birthday today, we came uninvited, wishing to ask for a few glasses of wine."

No sooner had these words fallen, than they caused a stir among all present.

"Who is talking?"

"This voice is so clear, yet I can’t sense anyone within thousands of miles around who’s speaking."

"What formidable strength, the voice contains a trace of peerless sharp Sword Intention."

The entire crowd of guests was shocked and exclaimed.

Just as Zhu Chang was about to step forward, hearing these words, his face which had been smiling, now turned somber, and he set his foot back down, looking around coldly.

At this moment, the Sky-splitting Army Marquis also lifted his eyes, scanning the surroundings.

Shua shua shua—

Just then, over seventy Men in Purple Robes soared skyward, landing within Zhu’s residence.

These seventy-plus individuals landing attracted the attention of all the guests.

"Disciples from Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"All of them are Purple-robed Inner Sect Disciples from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"Indeed, Zhu’s family is among the top noble families within the Litian Dynasty; on the Patriarch Zhu’s birthday, over seventy Purple Robe Disciples have come to celebrate!"

Many warriors, unclear about the situation, thought these Purple Robe Disciples were here to celebrate Zhu Chang’s birthday.

These seventy-plus Men in Purple Robes were indeed the Seventy-two Swordsman of Xian Dong Mountain.

However, among these figures, Lin Bai was nowhere to be seen.

Among these seventy or so Purple Robe Disciples, the leading Nie Xiong lightly smiled, holding his fist and saying, "I am Nie Xiong, an Inner Disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. By my side are my fellow Senior and Junior Brothers."

"Lord Zhu, today is your birthday celebration, may we have the honor to request to share a drink of water and wine?"

Nie Xiong said with a light chuckle.

Zhu Chang’s gaze was cold as he eyed these seventy-odd people, his heart involuntarily shuddering: Could it be that the second brother and the four Demon Saints from the Valley of Demons didn’t manage to assassinate them in Dongshuang City?

What about Dongfang Bai? Hasn’t Dongfang Bai come? Or did Dongfang Bai die at the hands of my second brother and the others?

At this moment, Zhu Chang had countless questions in his heart.

Where is Lin Bai?

Why haven’t Zhu Yi and the four Demon Saints from the Valley of Demons returned?

After his expression darkened, Zhu Chang squeezed out a smile and said, "So it turns out to be the Purple-robed Inner Sect Disciples from Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, truly sorry for not meeting you farther away."

"Since the Inner Disciples have come, my Zhu Family can still afford a drink of water and wine."

Zhu Chang forced a cheerful smile and said.

"Oh, generous Lord Zhu," Nie Xiong said with a chuckle, "Since Lord Zhu is so forthright, we are not stingy people either. Today, we have prepared a gift for Lord Zhu, please kindly accept it."

Nie Xiong said with a beaming smile.

Zhu Chang’s expression turned grim, and he coldly said, "For the Purple Robe Inner Disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect to attend my birthday celebration is already a great honor for me, how can I demand a gift?"

"Ah, Lord Zhu, there’s no need to refuse, you must accept this gift."

"Junior Brother Zhuo Lian, bring out the gift."

Nie Xiong said with a light chuckle.

"My goodness, a gift from the Purple Robe Disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect must be some rare Heaven and Earth Treasure from the Lingnan Continent."

"Really looking forward to it, wondering what kind of precious gift it is."

All the guests at the event were somewhat envious of Zhu Chang, looking forward to the gift that Nie Xiong would reveal.

"Alright." Zhuo Lian chuckled lightly, and from his storage bag, five coffins flew out, landing in front of Zhu Chang.

Boom boom boom—

The five coffins hit the ground, sending dust flying.

"Coffins? The Purple Robe Disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect actually sent coffins, and five of them at that?"

"What is this about?"

"These Purple Robe Disciples seem to have ill-intentions!"

Only then did the guests react.

Who sends coffins on someone’s birthday celebration? That’s too inauspicious!

Seeing these five coffins, Zhu Chang’s face turned iron green, and the corners of his eyes involuntarily twitched several times, his heart filled with an extremely bad premonition!

"Gentlemen of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, what is the meaning of this?" Zhu Chang asked coldly.

Nie Xiong laughed: "Lord Zhu, aren’t you going to open and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chang fell silent, somewhat reluctant to open the coffins.

"Exactly who is inside these five coffins?"

"Yes, looking at Lord Zhu’s expression, he seems quite upset."

"Could it be that the person in these coffins is someone Lord Zhu knows?"

Many of the guests were quite curious about the people inside the coffins.

After a long silence, Zhu Chang ultimately did not open the coffins, and coldly said, "Gentlemen of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, if you have come today to celebrate my birthday, I welcome you, and have prepared good wine and dishes to entertain you all."

"But if you are here to cause trouble, although my Zhu Family is alone and weak, today we have the Sky-splitting Army Marquis here, and furthermore, there are one hundred thousand troops of the Sky-splitting Legion in Zhu’s Fairy City, we will not tolerate your presumptuousness!"

Zhu Chang said coldly.

"Sky-splitting Army Marquis? Heh!" Nie Xiong inadvertently glanced at the middle-aged man wearing a Python Dragon robe sitting among the seats, the corner of his mouth curling into a slight cold smile.

"Lord Zhu, you still haven’t opened these coffins to take a look!"

"Do you not wish to open it? Or do you dare not open it?"

Nie Xiong asked aggressively.
