Chapter 1,179: Family Conference
he Shang family was killed, and there wasn't a single innocent victim. Is this true"Since Zhai Lingxiu was here, Ye Bufan didn't want to waste the opportunity to learn as much as he could about the Sh..."Don't panic," Dongfang Jianye calmly took a sip of tea, "One Murong Chenglong can't make much of a splash. Tomorrow, we'll give the Murong family a surprise."
"Father, are you saying that our family has experts who can fight a Martial Saint"
The Oriental Ren Jie was stunned. In his memory, the highest cultivation level in the Imperial Capital was Heaven Rank Great Perfection. This Martial Saint was his first encounter.
Orient Jianye smiled faintly: "Don't worry, you'll know tomorrow."
In the imperial capital, the head of the Zhong family, Zhong Baichun, was drinking with his only son, Zhong Guqiang, in a secret room.
"Dad, tomorrow is the day of the clan meeting. Isn't our family's chance to rise up coming"
Zhong Guqiang's face was filled with excitement. Last time, because he had provoked Dongfang Huizhong, the Zhong family suffered heavy losses and ultimately had to submit to the Dongfang family. It wasn't until then that they managed to weather the storm.
However, their submission is merely superficial. Deep down, they harbor no loyalty but resentment instead, constantly awaiting an opportunity for revenge.
The sudden rise of the Murong family a few days ago gave them hope. If the three great families were truly destroyed by the Murong family, they would only need to submit to the Murong family and wouldn't have to worry about the Dongfang family anymore.
Zhong Baichun's lips curled into a sneer: "Almost, the three major families are probably going to face a disaster this time."
The father and son were talking when suddenly they felt the aura of Murong Chenglong surging out.
"This is the aura of a martial sage." Zhong Baichun's expression changed, followed by an excited look. "It seems that the Murong family is furious this time, and the three major families are in danger."
"That's great, that little shrew from Dongfang Hui Zhong. When the Dongfang family falls, I'm going to make her pay."
And what about that little doctor, Ye Bufan Without the support of the three great families, let's see how he can still act tough in front of me.
Zhong Guoqiang's eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he had already seen Dongfang Huizhong being trampled under him.
Zhong Baichun snatched up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp: "This time is definitely a good opportunity for our Zhong family. We must seize it well tomorrow."
Zhong Guoqiang asked, "Dad, what do you think we should do tomorrow"
"If I'm not mistaken, tonight will be the Murong family's display of power to all the prominent families in the Imperial Capital. Tomorrow, a large number of families will undoubtedly submit."
"But at this time, we absolutely cannot fall behind. We must take the initiative and even help the Murong family win over other influential families. Only then can we leave a good impression on the head of the Murong family and be able to receive more benefits afterward." Zhong Guoqiang thought for a moment and said: "Do you think there is any possibility that the three major families will also submit If so, I'm afraid we will have no chance for revenge."
Judging from their recent performance, it's unlikely. The three major clans have been staying out of sight these days, clearly unwilling to submit. However, they seem unable to come up with a good way to deal with the situation.
It's no wonder they behave this way, after all, the world operates on a principle of might makes right. Whoever has the harder fist holds the greater sway over words.
What makes these three great families think they are superior to us It's all thanks to their family's handful of powerful elders, isn't it
And now the Murong family has produced a Martial Saint, an existence that surpasses even ten elders at the peak of the Heaven Rank.
And the three great families, accustomed to being high and mighty, were unwilling to lower their status. As a result, their fate was already sealed: either submit or face death.
As long as the Martial Saints of the Murong family make a move and slay those super powerhouses from the three major clans, the rest will be nothing but fish for us to slaughter. We can do whatever we want with them.
Zhong Baichun spoke with increasing confidence. Before being forced to submit to the Dongfang family, he had never chosen a side in the aristocratic clans' power struggle because he couldn't see who would ultimately prevail. Now, a powerful force had emerged, and that was the Murong family.
Zhong Guoqiang burst into laughter: "Doesn't that mean that in the future, the entire imperial capital, besides the Murong family, the most powerful will be our Zhong family We can be second to none!"
Zhong Baichun nodded. "You can put it that way."
"That's great, that kid named Ye, every woman is top-notch, I want to take them all."
Zhong Guoqiang's face was contorted with an unmistakable lust and greed.
At the peak of the hotel, Ye Bufan also sensed Murong Chenglong's aura, but he didn't care. He was just at the initial stage of a saint, not even worth mentioning to this Dragon King.
After the celebration banquet, Ye Bufan received a call from Yi Luo Xiang. She and Huang Xiaomei had finished dealing with matters in Shanghai and arrived in Beijing.
Ye Bufan picked up the two people at the airport and brought them back to Ouyang Jing's villa together.
After introducing everyone, Ouyang Jing secretly pulled Ye Bufan aside.
"Wow, bro, when did you find two more beautiful sisters-in-law Your luck with women is amazing!"
"Don't talk nonsense, we're just ordinary friends."
Although Ye Bufan and Yi Luo Xiang have a marriage contract from the Dragon King Palace, their relationship has not yet developed into that of lovers.
Ouyang Jing stuck out her tongue and said, "You're kidding me."
The next day, on Mount Tianzi at the northern outskirts of the Imperial City, a platform three meters high was erected at the foot of the mountain. The Murong family designated this location as the venue for their clan gathering.
Surrounded by countless disciples of the Murong family, it was forbidden for outsiders to enter.
Although it's not yet the designated time, the place is already teeming with people. Disciples from various prominent families, big and small, have all flocked here.
Three days ago, the Murong family announced to all the big and small families in the imperial capital that if they failed to attend this meeting, there would be no need for them to continue existing in the imperial capital afterwards.
Some well-connected family heads huddled together, whispering and discussing amongst themselves incessantly.
"Brother, what do you think the results of this clan gathering will be"
"Need I say more The Murong family already has a Martial Saint, they are undoubtedly the number one influential family in the capital city, there's no doubt about it..."
"Martial Saint, you know That's an invincible existence. The Three Great Clans will either submit or die—that's a foregone conclusion…"
"Where are the Three Great Families Are they scared"
As people were talking, suddenly someone shouted, "The Murong family has arrived."
Following the direction, they saw hundreds of people walking towards them.
Leading the way was none other than the head of the Murong family, Murong Chengdu, and the Great Elder, Murong Chenglong. Following closely behind them was the unassuming Second Elder, Murong Chenghu.
Murong Cheng at this moment had a smug look on his face. Today would undoubtedly be a day to remember, from now on there would only be one great family in the imperial capital, and that was the Murong Family.
Murong Chenglong's face was gloomy. The fact that Murong Hai and Murong Tian were disabled filled him with rage, and he was ready to unleash carnage today.
"That must be Elder Murong, the Grand Elder. A martial saint's bearing is indeed extraordinary..."
Those around looked at Murong Chenglong, their eyes filled with awe and admiration.
Murong Chengdu arrived at the foot of the mountain and scanned his surroundings: "Haven't the people from the three major families arrived yet"
"It seems like they haven't made a move yet." Murong He said, "Grandfather, do you think the people from the three great families are afraid Will they become turtles hiding in their shells"
Murong Chenglong let out a cold snort: "If the three great families were not here, this old man would definitely kill his way to their doors. They would have to submit to the Murong family, even if they wanted to be turtles."
Feeling the anger in the elder's words, Murong He secretly rejoiced. It seemed that the three great families were utterly finished this time, and that little Ye would inevitably be trampled under his feet.
And just then, someone else pointed to the distance and shouted, “Look! The people from the three great families [Dragon Soaring] have arrived.” about to unleash the full power of his Soul Severing Blade when suddenly a voice, immensely dignified and powerful, echoed across the heavens."This old man wants to see who dares look down upon the t...
