On a hillside in the southwest direction of Holy Light City, there was a gigantic ancient fortress. Not only was this fortress extremely spacious, its entire body was also a dark gold color, and under the illumination of the sunlight, it gave off a light that made people faint.

Aside from the Empire Of Light Imperial Family and the other four great families, only people with the ability to build a fortress of such a scale would be able to do so within the Empire Of Light.

And this dark golden ancient fortress in front of him was the headquarters for the Carl Family of the number one merchant clan in Empire Of Light. As the number one merchant family in Empire Of Light, even in the entire Mystic Moon Continent, Carl Family's business scale could be ranked in the top three. It could be said that the Muhammad family controlled Empire Of Light, but Carl Family was the economic backbone of the entire Empire Of Light.

If not for the fact that the owner of the black shadow had tried to kidnap Karl again and again to motivate him, he would not have been able to do so.

Currently, in the ancient Carl Family fortress, seven or eight old fellows around the age of sixty or seventy sat around a dignified middle-aged man.

"Patriarch, according to the report of our Carl Family's servants, Ji Li has already followed the Cangming Academy's competing group back to the Holy Light City. Since she has returned, I think that the marriage between her and Prince George should not be delayed any longer. Humph! He wasn't reading the proper Academy Of Light, but was instead running ten thousand miles away from the Star-Moon Empire to study? Could it be that you want others to make fun of the fact that our Carl Family has no rules? " A white-bearded old man who looked the oldest said to the middle-aged man with a stern expression. Although he had become the head of the family, his tone did not carry any respect for the head of the family.

"Grand Elder, Ji Li is still young. He hasn't even reached the age of sixteen yet, but he already married her at such an age. How can I, a father, face him?" The middle-aged man frowned and said.

"He's still young?" Hmph, in our Mystic Moon Continent, aren't there a few sixteen year old women who become wives? Philip, Karl, you are the clan leader first and then your father, from the day you became the clan master, you can't harm the clan's interests just for your own sake. It's all thanks to the Prince George taking a fancy to Ji Li, as long as she can marry him, he can become the emperor of the empire, and Ji Li will be the Empress of the empire. At that time, our Carl Family will be able to rise another level and we will be able to suppress the other three great clans. " The white-bearded old man who was called Great Elder said with a cold expression.

"Great Clan Elder, do not use my responsibilities as the Patriarch to scare me, I, Philip, am not a person that is scared, you elders all keep calling me Clan Master, saying that you are doing this for the clan, good, since that is the case, I would like to ask you all, don't you all have daughters and granddaughters? Why did you trade your daughter and granddaughter for goods? "Tell me, why?" Philip could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and his eyes were filled with a cold light as he glanced at the various elders, and then, he glared at the Great Clan Elder who spoke earlier and roared angrily.

The Great Elder did not expect that the usually submissive Philip would actually become so powerful. In an instant, his old face turned completely red, and a hidden killing intent flashed in his eyes from time to time.

However, this old man didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Although he was the family's head elder, but the family's rule was that the head of the family was the family's highest decision maker. As a result, even though the Great Clan Elder already controlled eighty percent of his Carl Family, he did not dare offend the Patriarch Philip. Only the heavens knew what other trump cards the Patriarch had.

Patriarch, please calm your anger. Big Brother's intention is not to push this child, Ji Li, into a fire pit, just think about it, not only is the Prince George's birth noble, her looks and character is also perfect. Who knows how many girls in our Empire Of Light treat her like a lover in their dreams. Just as Philip, the patriarch, and the Great Clan Elder were in a stalemate, an old man with a round face who was sitting beside the Second Clan Elder suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, Patriarch, second brother's words are correct. Prince George is a dragon amongst men, I don't think there can be anyone else more outstanding than him in the entire Empire Of Light, or even in the entire Mystic Moon Continent." The moment the Second Elder opened his mouth, the other elders also echoed his words.

For a moment, Philip, the Patriarch, was basically isolated by others.

Seeing the alternating shades of green and white on Philip's face, the Great Elder seemed to have won a battle as he suddenly spoke with incomparable pride, "Patriarch, you have also seen that this isn't the intention of the old me alone. This is the intention of the entire Elders Guild. How about this, if the Patriarch feels that there's no way to face Ji Li, this matter will be handled by the old me personally, isn't she currently living with Cangming Academy's group of students who are participating in the tournament? "Since that's the case, I'll leave immediately and look for that lass at her inn." After he finished speaking, the Great Clan Elder didn't care whether Philip, the Clan Master, agreed to his decision, and turned to walk out the door.

Looking at the Great Clan Elder's leaving figure, Philip suddenly felt that he was extremely useless, he couldn't even protect his own daughter.

"Ji Li, father's good daughter, it is father's incompetence that cannot protect you." Philip looked ashamed as he muttered to himself. After he finished speaking, he did not bother about the other elders who were ridiculing him, and turned to leave the hall of the Carl Family.

The Indigo Restaurant could be considered the most luxurious hotel within Holy Light City, so Ye Guhsing and the other participants from Cangming Academy stayed there.

Although everyone was confident that they would be able to win before the match, after it truly ended, everyone was unable to hold back the excitement in their hearts. Aside from Ye Guhsing who needed to continue to refine the blue light in his body and his left hand that normally did not like to talk, almost all the students were gathered in the courtyard, drinking happily and unrestrainedly, in order to celebrate today's victory.

Just as everyone was having fun playing around, the door to the small courtyard was suddenly pushed open. After which, a white-bearded old man walked in with more than ten muscular guards. This old man was the Great Clan Elder who protected Carl Family.

When Jiri Carl, who was originally happily drinking with her classmates, saw the Carl Family Great Elder, her face immediately turned deathly pale. She knew why the Great Elder had suddenly come here. But Jiri Carl, who had experienced so many things, was not as gentle as before. After being slightly afraid for a moment, she immediately looked at the white bearded old man who had walked in with a resolute face.

Ji Li, why did you come back without informing me of your grandpa? I only found out about your return after hearing about it from the servants. How about it, go back with granduncle. You've been away from home for more than a year or two. Great Elder Mauss Carl, of Carl Family, said with a hypocritical smile.

"There's no need, there's no need to trouble eldest uncle anymore. When Ji Li left the family to go out and study, she once said that once she had completed her studies, she would definitely return home to visit lord father, and now that her studies are complete, Ji Li did not return to the Empire Of Light for personal reasons. Ji Li is currently the leader of the Cangming Academy, and I'm responsible for the living arrangements of all the students, so once I leave, no one will take care of them, which will affect their competition results." Jiri Carl shook her head and said.

"Ji Li, don't be so willful. Go home with your great-uncle. Your father misses you." Hearing Jiri Carl's words, the Great Clan Elder said to Jiri Carl with a fake smile.

"I'm sorry, uncle. It's not that Ji Li doesn't want to go back, it's just that Ji Li can't break her promise. Uncle, please go back. " Jiri Carl shook her head and said, after that she put down the wine cup in her hand and went back to her own residence.

"Ji Li, you really don't want to give Uncle face. You should know that the marriage between you and Prince George has already been delayed for so long. I suggest you go home and marry the Prince George as soon as possible."

"There's no need, Prince George has already sent Ji Li a marriage annulment certificate, the marriage contract between him and I has already been dissolved, this is the marriage annulment certificate Prince George wrote, if Great Uncle does not believe me, you can ask Prince George yourself." Jiri Carl who had already turned around and was preparing to leave, regained her senses and took out a light gold silk cloth from her chest pocket. This was the letter Ye Guhsing forced George to write before the marriage annulment.

After carefully looking at the marriage annulment certificate in Jiri Carl's hand, the Great Clan Elder's face instantly became extremely ugly. It was not that he did not suspect that the marriage annulment certificate was real, but from his understanding of Jiri Carl, he definitely did not have the guts to forge a marriage annulment certificate.

When the time comes, he would be able to replace Philip and become the Patriarch of the Karl Family. Therefore, even if the marriage annulment book in Jiri Carl's hands was real, he had to say it as if it was a fake: "Hmph, Jiri Carl, you are really brave to actually fake the Prince George's notes and write down the marriage annulment certificate. Today, this old man will personally bring you along to ask for forgiveness for your sins!" With that said, Mauss Carl waved to the guards behind him.

The moment the guards made their move, Ziwu Feng and the rest of the Cangming Academy immediately pulled out their weapons. Everyone heard the conversation between Jiri Carl and the old fellow in front of them, they were not stupid people, from their conversations, everyone knew, that the old fellow was trying to force Jiri Carl to marry the useless crown prince.2

"Little kids, I advise you not to get involved with the matters of our Carl Family. Otherwise, it will be bad if you get hurt later." Mauss Carl laughed sinisterly as he stared at Ziwu Feng and the rest.

"Is that so? "You old fogey, you actually dare to act so arrogantly in young master's territory? If I don't beat you up today and you cry for your parents, this young master will have the same surname as you from now on!" Just as Mauss Carl's voice fell, an arrogant voice suddenly came from behind Ziwu Feng and the others. After that, a young man dressed in black clothing walked out of the house. On his left shoulder was a snow-white small marten, while on his right leg was an exceptionally mighty black tiger.

Just a moment ago, when he was cultivating, he suddenly heard the sound of someone causing trouble from the courtyard. After carefully listening to it, he realized that it was the elders from the Carl Family who had come to find trouble with Jiri Carl. Immediately after, he stopped his cultivation and walked out of the house with Lightning and the Xiao Tian.

Right now, he was an expert of the fifth level of the Innate Realm and was the number one expert of the Carl Family. However, even with his profound strength, Mauss Carl was unable to see the true strength of the black-robed youth who had suddenly appeared in front of him.

If he couldn't see the depth, or if there was a good treasure helping him hide his presence, or if the person's strength was stronger than his, then these two situations were not something that he, Mauss Carl, could afford to provoke.

When he thought about all this, Mauss Carl couldn't help but feel a rare sense of panic. However, the moment he thought about how this place was the Empire Of Light of his own, the base of his Carl Family, even if this person was more or less gave him, the Great Elder of his Carl Family, some face.

The first one arrived. There were still two new arrivals in the night, so it might be a bit late.
