Chapter 550: Chapter 345: The Peach Banquet and Gift Giving (Part 2)

At the head of the table, neither Gu Zhiqiu, Su Huan, nor Chu Xinyue raised their cards, indicating neither objection nor agreement, tacitly choosing to abstain.

A minute later, Gu Zhiqiu stood up, just about to announce the result when he suddenly sensed something and quickly turned his head. There, amidst the representative council president’s desk, a hand appeared, lifting a card.

A red card.

He was momentarily stunned, sensing a trance, and in the next second, the entire world seemed to flicker then clear. He saw a figure that had appeared at that seat, raising the red card representing opposition.

"President?"

Almost everyone was momentarily dumbfounded, then burst into exclamations:

"Heavens, the president is back."

Everyone stood up, looking with excitement at the figure that had appeared out of nowhere in the center.

Su Yu smiled slightly and asked:

"Well, did I return at the right time?"

Gu Zhiqiu, also filled with excitement, gazed at him. Seeing Su Yu’s current level, he exhaled with relief:

"Boss, you returned just in time."

Su Yu made no effort to conceal his current level, Golden Core ninth grade, with a level of 290 brightly displayed for all to see, even players just starting their training could see it clearly.

A person’s shadow, a tree’s name; the reputation built in the past now coupled with an extremely high level gave everyone immense confidence, leaving them all in excited anticipation with only one thought in mind:

"The president has finally returned, all crises are no longer an issue."

Su Yu gestured for everyone to calm down and said in a deep voice:

"I’ve returned!"

"All problems will cease to be problems. From now on, I will lead you to defeat all opponents and once again dominate Blue Mountain."

His words hardly fell before cheers erupted from below.

As for the earlier agenda, it was already tossed beyond the Nine Heavens.

An hour later, Su Yu appeared in Thousand Stars City, delivering a general meeting speech under the spotlight of countless eyes, making a high-profile announcement of his return in front of the entire city and over a billion at the public meeting.

Then, the city boiled over.

The news spread, and within less than two hours, all of Blue Mountain knew that the president of Thousand Star Hall, Su Yu, had returned.

In the Anti-Thousand Star Hall alliance, less than three minutes after Su Yu announced his return, presidents from over a hundred guilds gathered to convene a meeting.

"He’s back!"

"So what, even with him, Thousand Star Hall has just four Earth Immortals. We have six; there’s no need to be so afraid."

"Moreover, times have changed, brother. We’re not fighting alone this time; among the newly advanced Golden Core experts, many wish to challenge Su Yu. I’m confident I can persuade them to join."

"No matter how strong Su Yu is, he can at most fight three or four at once. At that time, we can arrange five or six Earth Immortals for him, each from a major faction with Tier Ten treasures in hand. Let’s see how he responds."

"President Wang makes a good point. No matter how strong Su Yu is, there’s a limit. How can one house compare to the entire heroes of Blue Mountain? Everyone is worrying too much."

Amid the cheerful laughter in the meeting hall, all concerns were swept away.

At this moment, someone else said:

"It’s perfect timing for Su Yu’s return, lest people say we are neglectful. We might as well unite and present him with a grand gift as a congratulatory gesture. What do you all think?"

"Very good."

"I agree."

....

At Thousand Star Mountain, when Su Yu returned to his own dojo, the high-ranking members of various guilds gathered, including brothers Shi Ning, Zhuang Zhuo, and others.

Here, he carefully listened to more detailed reports from Gu Zhiqiu and others.

With the guild channel data, he now had a complete understanding of the current state of the guild.

"So the main threats to our guild now are the Southern Demon Sect alliance and the remnants of the former Feixing Sect and Divine Ship Sect?"

"Yes."

Gu Zhiqiu explained in detail:

"Mainly, the Blood Demon Hall is leading the fiercest attacks. They have two Golden Core experts from the Blood Demon Hall spearheading, allied with over thirty large guilds from the Blood Demon Hall. They also invited some experts from the Yin Yang Demon Sect, gathering tens of millions of members."

"Fortunately, they’re mostly an uncoordinated crowd with inadequate elite forces; otherwise, we would have a hard time defending."

"Mm, tell me about the state of the Endless Forest Sea."

"The primary enemies on the Endless Forest Sea side are remnants of the former Celestial God Association, plus the fact that it’s near the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, with a large guild of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect having set eyes on the Endless Forest Sea. United, they’re quite formidable. If not for Xiao and the Chixiao Sword Vein on our side, the Endless Forest Sea would have been conquered by now."

"But even so, the power at the Endless Forest Sea is significantly weakened now, barely holding on to Forest Sea City and the Forest Sea Secret Realm, with almost everywhere else lost."

"Even Forest Sea City and the Forest Sea Secret Realm are difficult to hold. If you hadn’t returned, we were about to abandon those two locations."

"Mm!"

"Those are matters of the past now. I’ve returned. The Endless Forest Sea need not be abandoned."

Su Yu’s gaze swept over the guild’s high-ranking members, and he said in a deep voice:

"Issue an order to dispatch another Celestial Strike Ship and five regular small groups there, to hold Forest Sea City and the Forest Sea Secret Realm for another month."

Gu Zhiqiu immediately nodded and answered:

"I’ll take care of it right away."

"And then?"

All eyes were expectantly on Su Yu, their faces filled with anticipation for his next directive.

Su Yu laughed heartily, flipping his hand to reveal an Immortal Peach and said:

"And then, it’s commendation and reward time."

Seeing the attributes of the Immortal Peach in his hand, Chu Xiaoyu exclaimed in shock:

"Oh my, is this the legendary Immortal Peach?"

Su Yu nodded, placing the Immortal Peach on the table, and with another flip of his hand pulled out a pile, laying them out in front of everyone, saying:

"All of you have labored diligently during my absence. Fortunately, I gained quite a bit on this trip. Let’s hold an Immortal Peach Banquet."

"Is this the legendary banquet of the Celestial Court?"
