C296 Confederacy of Large Clans
The sky turned white, and not long after, strands of morning light shone on this magnificent city, adding a bit of splendor to it.
The morning light shone through the transparent roof and onto the green coloured stone slab. A soft light shone onto the delicate face. When the gentle light shone on the young face, the young man's tightly shut eyes moved slightly.
The eyes of the young man, who was sitting upright like a boulder, moved for a moment before suddenly opening. His black, star-like eyes gave off a profound feeling that no one was able to see through. When the young man opened his eyes, a glint flashed across them and disappeared into the depths of his eyes.
"Whew ~"
Gently exhaling a mouthful of impure air, Mu Yi stood up slightly. He tidied up the corners of his clothes and then casually washed his face and rinsed his mouth for a moment.
Dong, dong, dong!
After tidying up everything, there was a light knock on the door. He quickly opened the door and saw Cang Baiyu, who was still wearing a black robe.
"Hur hur, it's morning. It's quite punctual." He lightly patted Cang Baiyu's shoulder and said.
"Hur hur, it's time to set off." Cang Baiyu said with a smile. Today was the day to get down to proper business.
The two of them quickly walked out of the residence. The flow of people outside was extremely large, and even the streets seemed to be congested, it seemed like there were quite a few people participating in the birthday of the Chai Family family today.
Mu Yi and Cang Baiyu also slowly moved forward in the crowd. It looked like people who celebrated their birthday in Chai Family today had a lot of face.
This person was an important figure of the Chai Family. Although Chai Chen was the Great Elder of the Chai Family, he was still temporarily the successor of the Patriarch and the entire Chai Family was managed by him. As for the Patriarch of the Chai Family, he retired a few years ago and concentrated on his isolation.
Under Chai Chen's lead, the Chai Family could be said to rise day by day, becoming an overlord of a region, and Chai Chen's name resounded throughout all the large clans, becoming very famous. It was precisely because of this quick method that he even obtained a title: Mortal Chai!
He was currently in the courtyard of the Chai Family Palace!
Within the spacious hall, heads were surging, and it was extremely bustling as it brimmed with an atmosphere of celebration.
In the seating area specially arranged for the hall, sat the leader or representative of a power from the eastern provinces of the empire. Towards the strongest power in the eastern region of the Loong Family Empire, although many people wished for their Chai Family to collapse, they still had to put on an act that was extremely appropriate on the surface.
On the leader's seat in the hall, a white-haired, fine-clothed old man cupped his hands and bowed to the guests below him. He seemed to enjoy the countless envious gazes that were directed at him.
The old man was the Great Elder of the Chai Family, Chai Cheng. At the same time, he was also one of the pillars of the Chai Family.
"Peak City Lord Hou Mu has arrived!"
Numerous strange gazes swept over to the entrance of the large hall. Normally speaking, the officials of the empire would not take the initiative to participate in the celebration of the local factions, but the city lord of Feng Lin City had actually come to celebrate in front of a large crowd. This action allowed everyone to understand that this Chai Family had already opened up all the routes in the mountain's mountain and mountain.
Having obtained the support of the authorities and also with the support of the crown prince, it was no wonder that his Chai Family had increased explosively in recent years.
"Hehe, Great Elder Chai Cheng, congratulations." A middle-aged fatty, who was dressed extravagantly, was escorted by a group of people at the door. He walked in with a face full of smiles as he smiled affectionately at Chai Cheng, who was on the stage.
"Hehe, Master Hou Mu, I'll have to trouble you to come personally. Please come quickly." Chai Cheng smiled at the fatty, who he had scooped up a lot of money from his Chai Family. A cold killing intent flashed in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he guided him to a specially made chair on the high platform.
After conversing a little with the city lord of Feng Min City, a loud and clear report sounded out at the entrance.
"The Ye Family's Patriarch, Lord Ye Wang, is here!"
The Ye Family was one of the other three great families of the Northeast Province. Although their strength was a bit weaker than their Chai Family which was at the peak of the day, after accumulating strength for so many years, the Ye Family's strength could not be underestimated, and what caused Chai Cheng to display this kind of expression was naturally because the Ye Family Patriarch personally came to congratulate them. Under normal circumstances, the relationship between the four great families of the Northeast was like fire, it was impossible to give them a celebration.
"Haha, old man Chai Cheng, you're really getting stronger and stronger. In this northeastern part of the country, the old man is going to eat them all." A middle-aged man with a thin face laughed as he walked into the hall and said to Chai Cheng who was on the stage.
"Ke ke, it is unexpected that the Ye Clan's clan head has also hurried over. This old man is truly honoured." Chai Cheng said with a smile. He chatted with Ye Wen for a while, but did not say anything. After that, he also welcomed Ye Wen to the higher ups.
Following which, another group of leaders from different forces in the northeast region of Loong Family Empire arrived one after another. In an instant, nearly seventy to eighty percent of the forces in the northeast region had gathered in this bustling hall.
Looking at the hall full of distinguished guests, the smile on Chai Cheng's face became even wider. In the Northeast Province, other than his Chai Family, there was no other place that had such rallying power.
The smile on Chai Cheng's face finally bloomed like a chrysanthemum after hearing the final announcement. He personally stepped down from the stage and quickly walked towards the entrance.0
As the focus of everyone's attention, Chai Cheng's actions naturally attracted everyone's attention. Seeing that he had personally gone out to welcome him, Chai Cheng was stunned and couldn't help but whisper in a low voice. In the eastern provinces, there weren't many people that could get the Chai Family Great Elder to treat them with such eagerness.
While everyone in the large hall was having different thoughts, two shadows of Black Cloaked Man strangely flashed and appeared on the top of the roof. Their feet firmly stepped on the beams.
"That should be the Great Elder of Chai Family, the one nicknamed Jie Zi Chai, Chai Cheng, right?" Mu Yi said plainly as his gaze swept across the smiling skinny old man.
"Yes." Cang Baiyu nodded slightly. He turned his head towards Mu Yi and asked, "What do we do next?"
"Destroying the situation …" According to what you said, capture that old bastard first and then have them hand over the item. To Chai Family, Chai Cheng is practically a pillar that cannot be dropped. Mu Yi's hand was inserted into his sleeve. His eyes were like that of a poisonous snake as he stared intently at Chai Cheng and coldly said.
"What an unlucky old guy, to actually meet that evil star Mu Yi on this day." Hearing this, Cang Baiyu nodded his head. In his heart, he mourned for a few seconds for the delighted Chai Cheng.
At this time, a group of people walked out of the door, led by a well-dressed elderly man. The aura on the old man's body was long and reserved, and he was at least an expert in Three Stars of Creation, followed by a row of elite soldiers.
"Hehe, Chai Family Master, the crown prince has been busy with official business, so I have come to congratulate you. I have come rather late today." Ge Ye looked at the approaching Chai Chen and smiled.
"Hehe, it's not too late, it's not too late. Being able to come is my honor, come on." He waved his hand and led Ge Ye inside.
When they saw him, the surrounding Patriarchs all revealed shocked expressions. They never thought that the crown prince would actually send people to congratulate him, could it be that his Chai Family had already reached such a high level?
Chai Cheng finally stopped talking in the hall. He slowly stood up and looked around at the various factions in the hall. He smiled and pressed his hands. Immediately, the noisy atmosphere gradually became quiet. Numerous gazes were turned over.
"Haha, many thanks to all of you for being able to participate in my old bones' banquet." Haha, many thanks to all of you for being able to participate in my old bones' banquet. Chai Cheng smiled and said as he watched the atmosphere gradually settle down.
Hearing Chai Cheng's words, everyone in the hall immediately pricked up their ears.
"Recently, we have been discussing internally in our Chai Family. This large clan alliance was not a strict organization. It was just that they wanted to gather some friendly factions together and work together to obtain some benefits that would be extremely beneficial to both parties. After all, one person's strength was far inferior to a few factions … Furthermore, I promise you that as long as you join the Great Clan Alliance, you will be considered an ally of the Chai Family, and will have the privilege of receiving information regarding Chai Family as well as assistance through force … What do you think? If any of you are interested in the alliance, then let's work together. " Chai Cheng said with a smile.
Hearing Chai Cheng's words, everyone in the hall had different expressions. Although Chai Cheng did not say that he was a strict organization, they all knew that once they joined this so-called Great Clan Alliance, it was equivalent to having their Chai Family stamped on their bodies. Although they might be able to obtain the protection of Chai Family in the future, it was indirectly equivalent to being subdued by Chai Family.
The hall descended into a short period of silence. After a long while, a few weak and small factions finally voiced out their wishes to join the Great Clan Alliance. Many of them had already made up their minds long ago to join the Chai Family.
Once they started, some of the middle-sized factions that were afraid of Chai Family and being blacklisted hesitated for a while, before they chose to join.
Seated at the head of the table, looking at the forces that were continuously pouring towards the Chai Family, Chai Chen's eyebrows imperceptibly knitted together. He turned his head and exchanged glances with Ge Ye, a strange look flashing across his eyes.
