140 The Five Great Aristocratic Families of Jiuzhou!
“Is the Panlong family really here?”
Everyone was shocked.
They had just been discussing whether the Panlong family would appear. They hadn’t expected that before they could finish, the people from the Panlong family had arrived.
“Who is this person? He seems to be very fierce…” Someone asked carefully.
“Oh, looking at his posture and attire, he should be the third young master of the Panlong family, Zhao Longxiang. This person is born with divine strength. It is said that he has the strength to fight ten thousand men all at once.”
“In addition, he is known to be invincible in the same minor realm.”
“They are both at the peak of the Innate Sky realm, but even the eldest young master of the Li Family, Li Chengtian, might not be able to suppress him…”
“Zhao Longxiang? The number one madman in Jiuzhou?”
“Yes, that’s him.”
…
The surrounding crowd chattered.
At this moment, all the guests, including Qi Changqing of the Beihai Family, and even the experts and clansmen of the Li Family looked at Zhao Longxiang.
“Zhao Longxiang, what are you doing here?”
After a long silence, the current clan leader of the Li family, Li Xuandao, walked out of the Purple Cloud Hall and asked with a dark expression.
His expression was very ugly.
It was apparent he did not welcome the sudden visit of the Panlong family.
However, facing Li Xuandao’s cold questioning, Zhao Longxiang turned a deaf ear to it. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled into an arrogant and unruly smile.
“What can I be here for? I’m here to represent the Panlong family to congratulate your old ancestor on his birthday, of course. Why? We came from so far away, and your Li family doesn’t welcome us?” Zhao Longxiang teased.
Hearing this, Li Xuandao snorted, “As an aristocratic family of Jiuzhou, if you come to congratulate my old ancestor on his birthday, the Li family will naturally welcome you. However, if you are here to cause trouble, then my Li family is not to be trifled with either.”
His words were filled with warning.
Zhao Longxiang simply smiled indifferently.
“Don’t worry. Your Li family is shameless, but the Panlong family isn’t. I won’t do anything rash.”
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his hand and took out a huge mutant beast corpse, smashing it heavily onto the ground.
“The Panlong family congratulates the Li family’s patriarch on his birthday. I just killed this mutant beast in the Myriad Great Mountain Range. Take it as a birthday gift. It isn’t considered expensive, but I hope senior won’t mind…”
His loud voice resounded throughout the Li family.
Green Mountain Hou?
Looking at the huge corpse of the mutant beast in front of the Purple Cloud Hall, everyone cried out in surprise.
“The Green Mountain Hou is an ancient mutant. It’s said that it has a trace of the bloodline of the divine beast, the Heaven Shaking Hou. It’s extremely powerful, and it’s comparable to a Heaven Capture realm powerhouse.”
“With Zhao Longxiang’s cultivation at the peak of the Innate Sky realm, can he kill such a mutant beast?” Someone questioned.
“Hmph, even a fool knows that it’s impossible.”
“Do you see the black-robed old man behind Zhao Longxiang? I dare to conclude that this Green Mountain Hou was killed by him…”
“In that case…That person has the terrifying power of the Heaven Capture realm?”
“I’m not sure. However, he is certainly not weaker than the old ancestor of the Li family…”
…
Everyone discussed in low voices.
All of them looked at the black-robed elder behind Zhao Longxiang, their eyes filled with respect.
Similarly, the sudden appearance of Zhao Longxiang and the other person caught Lin Wudao’s attention.
[Name: Zhao Jiuyang]
[Identity: Third Guardian of the Panlong family]
[Cultivation: Perfection of the Heavenly Cycle realm]
…
“City Lord, it seems that the foundation and strength of this Panlong family are much stronger than the Li family,” Suddenly, Yin Siming’s voice rang out.
“Indeed. Zhao Longxiang is only the third young master of the Panlong Family, but his cultivation is at the peak of the Innate Sky realm. The eldest young master of the Li Family, Li Chengtian, also has the same cultivation. In terms of the strength of their children, the Li family is indeed inferior. However, this does not prove that the Li family’s power is weaker than the Panlong family. After all, the two families have been fighting for thousands of years. If the Li family did not have any strength and trump cards, they would have been swallowed up long ago,” Lin Wudao said indifferently.
Yin Siming nodded in agreement.
What was revealed on the surface was for outsiders to see.
As for how much strength and foundation these aristocratic families had hidden behind the scenes, perhaps only they themselves knew. However, they were surely stronger than they appeared to be.
“By the way, in Jiuzhou, other than the Heishui Family, the Beihai Family, and the Panlong family, are there any other hidden forces or aristocratic families?”
“Oh, there’s also the Langya family in the south and the Penglai family on the coast of the East Sea. In Jiuzhou, there are five ancient aristocratic families with a heritage of more than five thousand years. Among them, the Heishui family is ranked last, the Beihai family is fourth, the Panlong family is third, the Langya family is second, and the Penglai family is first. ”
“Among the five great aristocratic families, the Penglai family has the longest heritage, as well as the strongest strength and foundation. However, they are more mysterious and very low-key. They have never participated in any conflicts. The Beihai family and the Panlong family are on good terms, while the Heishui family and the Langya family are on good terms. For thousands of years, they have maintained a relatively balanced situation,” Yin Siming introduced.
So that was how it was.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded thoughtfully.
“In that case, the conflicts between the aristocratic families are all within a certain range?”
“Yes. Although fighting and killing between aristocratic families is inevitable to compete for resources, it’s all within the rules of the game. Because once this balance is broken, it will lead to a crisis. At that time, the aristocratic families will also be toppled. In fact, when one of the aristocratic families is threatened, the others will lend a helping hand. The few aristocratic families have always maintained an extremely delicate situation…”
...
Whoosh!
Just as the two were talking, another huge spiritual boat sailed over from the distant sky. On it hung the symbol of an ancient sword.
“The Langya Pei family is here,” Yin Siming said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
On the huge spiritual boat, not only were there many congratulatory gifts but also more than ten Heavenly Cycle realm experts.
The leader was also a young man. His name was Pei Jianzhi, the third young master of the Langya family.
His cultivation was even stronger than Zhao Longxiang’s.
Although he was now still at the peak of the Innate Sky realm, Lin Wudao could see that Pei Jianzhi would be able to break through the shackles and reach perfection in the Innate Sky realm in a month at most.
“The Langya family congratulates the Li family patriarch,” His loud voice resounded in all directions.
Seeing this, Li Xuandao’s face immediately blossomed with a brilliant smile as he welcomed them with incomparable enthusiasm.
“The Li family is honored to have you here. Please take a seat in the Purple Cloud Hall.”
...
As he spoke, he personally welcomed Pei Jianzhi and turned to walk towards the Purple Cloud Hall.
Seeing this scene, Qi Changqing’s expression was calm, but Zhao Longxiang snorted coldly as if he wasn’t fond of Pei Jianzhi.
“Will the Penglai family come?” Lin Wudao asked curiously.
“Probably not. The Penglai Family has lived on the coast of the East Sea for generations. When their clansmen travel in the world, they either conceal their names or disguise themselves. They keep a low profile and never participate in any disputes. The 800th birthday celebration of the Li family patriarch can’t attract the Penglai family. Perhaps only on the Path to Heaven the day after tomorrow will the people of the Penglai family appear,” Yin Siming replied.
“The Xia Dynasty’s Qingyi Marquis’s Mansion has come to attend the birthday ceremony.”
Hmm? Luo Qinghan was here?
Hearing this majestic voice, Lin Wudao’s spirit was lifted and he immediately looked up.
Whoosh!
An ancient and exquisite spiritual boat tore through the air, with Luo Qinghan and Yue Furong standing on it.
At the same time, Lin Wudao also discovered Li Heishui. Relying on the effect of the invisibility jade talisman, the latter had quietly come to the residence.
“The show is finally about to begin.”
The corners of Lin Wudao’s mouth curled up into an expectant smile.
