"Your Highness, please come this way."

Shui Qianyuan pushed Mu Tinglong aside, took the front leading position, and led Jiang Han and the other two to sit in the main seat.

Seeing several people standing aside with reserved expressions, Jiang Han said, "You are all seniors, no need to be polite, please take your seats."

After hearing this, several people thanked him and found a seat to sit down.

The Shui family and the Mu family are currently the most powerful, so they naturally sit in the seats closest to Jiang Han.

The wine and delicacies had already been served. Shui Qianyuan, who had a better relationship with Jiang Han among the seven families, was the first to step forward with a wine jug to pour wine for Jiang Han.

"Your Highness, this is Huanglong City's unique Jinyuan wine, a fine wine brewed from purple-gold monkey fruit. The taste is truly exceptional..."

Jiang Han took the wine glass, but just took a sip and put it down.

Seeing this, several people's expressions changed slightly, and the atmosphere in the hall became a little stiff.

According to the rules, the first glass of wine must be drunk completely, and the meal can only officially begin after everyone toasts each other with a glass of wine.

But Jiang Han's status was special, and he didn't want to drink, so no one dared to say a word.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Jiang Han saw that they all looked strange and asked in confusion:

"Why are you standing there? Let's start the meal."

He is now the center of the place, and everyone has to act according to his expression. After hearing this, no one dared to have any other ideas.

Shui Qianyuan took the opportunity to ask everyone to toast, and then began to eat lively.

Although the atmosphere seemed lively, their expressions were actually a little off. Although the table was filled with delicacies made from rare birds and beasts, they lost their appetite after just a few moves of their chopsticks.

But due to some reasons, they didn't dare to show it too obviously, and could only put on a smile and try to maintain the atmosphere in the hall.

It was not until today that they finally understood how Mu Tinglong felt at the time. It seemed that this Holy Son was really difficult to serve.

Originally, they planned to get acquainted with His Highness right away and test his opinion, but the other party's current attitude made them dare not say a word.

However, this is normal. After all, he is the Holy Son of the Sword Sect, and he has the ability to do whatever he wants.

Soon, after the initial repression disappeared, the few of them gradually relaxed and started chatting about everything under the sun. From time to time, the topic turned to the strange phenomena in the Luoyang Mountains.

Unfortunately, Jiang Han just listened with interest but did not participate, making all the conversations that the few people had finally started useless.

After three rounds of drinks, the few of them really couldn't continue talking, so they put down their glasses and glanced at Shui Qianyuan from time to time.

Shui Qianyuan looked at them, then at Mu Tinglong. The seven family heads stared at each other, making the atmosphere tense again.

Jiang Han glanced at them, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, but he did not say anything. He just watched their performance with interest.

He was not anxious, but the people from the seven families were anxious.

The more nervous they are and the more they can't speak, the more difficult it is to handle the matter.

The more difficult the task, the more benefits he can get, for example, the secret technique of the Shui family that can detect his spiritual awareness silently.

He had no idea at the time that his whereabouts were discovered by the other party. He really would not feel at ease if he did not keep such a magical secret technique in his own hands.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing, as if the person sitting there was not a youngster in the early Nascent Soul stage, but an old monster in the Divine Transformation stage, which made the heads of the families feel heavy in their hearts.

The air was as quiet as a pair of large hands, gradually strangling the throats of several people, making their chests suffocate and almost unable to breathe.

Cold sweat slid down my cheeks.

"Ding--!"

Someone's chopsticks fell on the edge of the bowl. The crisp sound was like a sword piercing the heart, making several people's eyelids twitch violently.

Everyone looked more and more panicked. Most of the family heads were in the late Nascent Soul stage. Apart from facing the God Transformation cultivators, they had never felt such terrifying pressure. Not only did they panic, but the younger generations had already reached their limits and were on the verge of mental collapse!

At the last moment, Shui Qianyuan was the first to give up. He stood up, took a step back, and bowed to Jiang Han, saying, "Your Highness, I dare to ask Your Highness to save our lives today."

The others finally reacted and immediately bowed, saying, "Your Highness, please save our lives!"

"Oh? What do you mean?" Jiang Han raised his eyelids slightly and finally looked at them.

As he finished speaking, the invisible pressure that shrouded the air suddenly dissipated, making the chests of several people lighten and their bodies quickly relax.

Several younger generations were gasping for breath in an extremely unbearable manner. The air that was everywhere in the past was now like a spiritual spring, being greedily sucked into their mouths.

The pressure of the god?

This thought popped up in the minds of several family heads at the same time, and they looked a little confused.

The other party was clearly only in the early Nascent Soul stage, but just now they had truly felt the pressure of facing the Spirit Transformation stage.

The originally agreed-upon words and cooperation were shattered by the other party's calm eyes and were no longer useful.

They bowed respectfully, with only respect and fear on their faces.

His Highness is worthy of being His Highness. I'm afraid he already knew their plan before coming here and had prepared a response plan.

Fortunately, they did not use any tricks before, otherwise, even if their cultivation was much higher than that of the other party, they would have ended up dying in regret today.

Especially His Highness's calm gaze that seemed to see through everything, making people feel that all their secrets have been easily seen through by the other party.

Shui Qianyuan was closest to Jiang Han and was under the greatest pressure at the moment, but his spiritual power was different from that of ordinary people. He was the first to react and did not dare to hide anything anymore, so he began to explain the reason.

Jiang Han listened quietly, and several other family heads added a few words from time to time, and soon he had a general idea of ​​what happened.

"Are you saying that the Luoyang Mountains are now overrun with monsters and have countless resources because there was once a North Sea Ice Dragon that reached the Great Perfection of Divine Transformation, failed in its tribulation, and perished here?"

"That cold air is the Ice Dragon's soul, stirring up the Dragon Ball and causing the laws to leak?"

"That's right," Shui Qianyuan said. "For nearly ten thousand years, the seven of us have been searching for the core of the mountain, hoping to take the dragon ball away. We finally found the core a thousand years ago and opened the restriction there."

"Unfortunately, the Law of Ice there is far too strong, and there's also a dragon spirit guarding it. We can't get close at all. On the contrary, because the restrictions have been destroyed, the power of the Law erupts from time to time, turning the area for thousands of miles into a wasteland of ice and snow. This often lasts for months before receding."

Mu Tinglong sighed softly, "Those monks like me can survive, but those mortals always suffer heavy casualties in this ice and snow."

Jiang Han glanced at him and said, "I see. But this matter is extremely difficult. Even the seniors with profound cultivation are helpless. I'm afraid I can't do anything either."
