Seeing that the elders agreed with him, Chen Yang nodded in relief.
Although he could not guarantee that his method was correct, it would definitely be better than blindly distributing it equally.
“As for the collateral relatives, we’ll follow the same plan as the direct descendants. By the way, we have to pay more attention to business. It’s almost the new year, don’t appear…”
“Report!!!”
Before Chen Yang could finish speaking, a member of the collateral family dressed in armor quickly ran into the meeting hall.
“What is it?”
The clansman took a deep breath and calmed himself down. “Family Head, the Song family’s envoy requests an audience.”
“The Song family? Why is the eighth-grade family Song family from the prefecture capital suddenly visiting us?” Chen Xuan frowned and looked at Chen Yang.
“Hmph! I’m afraid they have ill intentions.” Chen Yang waved his hand. “Let’s welcome the Song family’s envoy.”
“Yes!”
The collateral family immediately retreated. Not long after, the envoy representing the Song family entered the meeting hall.
“Greetings, Family Head Chen Yang and the elders.”
Chen Yang pretended to be kind and asked with a smile, “Did you come here to convey something?”
“I wouldn’t dare! The head of the Song family has something to ask the Chen family for help with,” the envoy said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Hearing the envoy’s words, Chen Yang was a little puzzled. What did the Song family need the Chen family’s help with? “What is it?”
“Our Song family plans to join forces with all the ranked families in Nanyang City to attack the demon beasts in the Endless Mountains at the end of the year.”
“My family head said that this is for the sake of the people of Nanyang County. Please do not decline.”
‘So that’s what happened…’
Chen Yang felt that this matter was definitely not simple, but the Song family had already alluded to this as a matter of righteousness, so the Chen family could not refuse.
“Go back and tell your family head that my Chen family has agreed.”
“Yes! Please send the Chen family to Mo City in five days. Don’t be late. By the way, each family must send at least twenty people, and they must all be at the mid-stage Qi Refinement realm or above.”
After bowing to Chen Yang, the envoy left the meeting hall arrogantly.
After the envoy left, the smile on Chen Yang’s face instantly disappeared. “Tell me, what is the Song family up to?”
After a moment of silence, Chen Xuan asked, “Family Head, there are a total of five cities in Nanyang County that border the Endless Mountains. Why did the Song family choose Mo City?”
Chen Yang nodded. “First Elder is right. According to the distance and proximity, our Maple City is the closest to the Endless Mountains.”
“The closest to the Song family is Liu City. No matter how I look at it, one wouldn’t choose Mo City.”
“Unless …”
“Unless there are secrets that the Song family values hidden in the Endless Mountains bordering Mo City.” Chen Xuan continued.
“That’s right! Third Elder, send a few smart clansmen to investigate the situation outside Mo City first,” Chen Yang instructed.
“As for the other elders, make preparations in advance. Since the Song family has made a move, we’ll take it.”
“It’s just that, First Elder, your Genesis Feast will have to be postponed.”
“That’s fine. Family matters are more important.” Chen Xuan did not care about his Genesis Feast at all.
“Alright, meeting dismissed then.”
As Chen Yang announced the end of the meeting, the elders quickly took action, preparing for the annual hunt.
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side.
At this moment, in the main city of Nanyang County, which was Song City.
The head of the Song family looked at the noble young man in front of him and said obsequiously, “Young Lord, please forgive me for saying too much. When will the person you invited arrive?”
“Of course, I’m not suspecting the young prince. It’s just that this matter is too serious. If we make such a big fuss, it will definitely alert the Beastmaster Sect.”
“Without that person, I’m afraid my Nanyang County won’t be able to withstand it.”
The young prince glanced at Family Head Song and hid the contempt in his eyes. He smiled like a spring breeze. “Family Head Song, don’t worry.”
“I value that matter more than you. How can I not be fully prepared? Family Head Song, don’t worry.”
“Yes, yes, I’m sorry.”
…
The news that the Song family had summoned all the ninth-grade aristocratic families in Nanyang County to enter the Endless Mountains to kill demon beasts had already spread.
Although the citizens of Nanyang County did not know why the Song family did this, the result was indeed to protect their safety.
For a while, Nanyang County was filled with praises for the Song family.
Meanwhile, the various families in Jiangzhou raised a question at the same time. What was hidden in the Endless Mountains that made the Song family make such a big fuss?
For a while, forces above the eighth-grade took action successively.
Even the ruler of Jiangzhou, the Beastmaster Sect, sent people to infiltrate Mo City. In an instant, Mo City became a place full of talented individuals in hiding.
However, this had nothing to do with the ninth-grade aristocratic families in Nanyang County. If they participated in such a game between major power forces, it would only end in death.
Only by playing dumb and following the instructions of the Song family would there be a chance of survival.
The time set by the Song family soon arrived. In Mo City, the ten ninth-grade aristocratic families of Nanyang County gathered.
After the Song family arrived, the group headed towards the Endless Mountains.
After these families left, mysterious figures also quietly disappeared, secretly following the pace of the alliance army of the families in Nanyang County.
Outside Mo City, after half a day of traveling, the group had already traveled about 300 miles. This place was adjacent to the Endless Mountains.
At this moment, Family Head Song gestured for everyone to stop. “Everyone, the goal of our trip is a thousand miles of the Endless Mountain Range.”
“What? A thousand miles deep?”
The words of the head of the Song family caused a huge commotion in the aristocratic families. The head of the Mo family took the lead and said, “Family Head Song, there are demon beasts at the Demon Venerable level living within 1000 miles of the Endless Mountains.”
“And we didn’t even bring the Genesis Patriarch on this trip. Isn’t it too dangerous?”
“That’s right, Master Song. Isn’t this too dangerous?”
Hearing the words of the family heads, Family Head Song frowned. Then, a terrifying aura burst out from his body.
The moment they were enveloped by this aura, the other Family Heads felt as if they were in an ice cave and instantly fell silent.
Seeing that everyone had quietened down, Family Head Song smiled in satisfaction. “Everyone, we are here for the safety of the people of Nanyang County.
If we don’t hurt these demon beasts, how can we make them stay in the Endless Mountains obediently?”
“As for the Demon Venerable, you don’t have to worry. The Ningdan Patriarch of our Song family is here too.”
As if to verify Family Head Song’s words, an inconspicuous old man in the Song family’s camp suddenly emitted a terrifying aura that far exceeded Family Head Song’s.
Sensing this terrifying aura, everyone trembled.
The Ningdan Patriarch of the Song family was indeed here too!
