Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1637: Chapter 1006: Banding Together for Warmth

“You, you, you~~”

Yun Ge pointed at Yang Zhenshan, too shocked to speak coherently.

“Yun Ge, don’t be rude!” White Cloud True Monarch reprimanded.

Yang Zhenshan stood up and smiled, “Daoist Yun Ge, it’s been a while, hope you’ve been well!”

Yun Ge withdrew his finger, his plump face still filled with disbelief.

“Yang, Yang Zhenjun, please have some tea!”

He handed the tea he was holding to Yang Zhenshan, his tongue still in a twist.

“Alright, you may leave for now!”

White Cloud True Monarch waved his hand, dismissing Yun Ge, who walked out of the room, looking back every few steps, and paused to gaze at Yang Zhenshan when he reached the door.

Yang Zhenshan gave him a gentle smile.

White Cloud True Monarch observed this, his heart filled with complex emotions.

The three of them took their seats, Jian Changhe raised his teacup, sipped lightly, then asked, “Senior White Cloud, may I inquire the reason for summoning this junior?”

White Cloud True Monarch dispelled the distractions in his mind, and with a composed expression said, “What else could it be about, other than the matter of True Yang Immortal City!”

“Is it your intention, Senior?” Jian Changhe asked, maintaining an indifferent façade.

Yang Zhenshan remained silent, quietly savoring the refreshing aroma of the tea.

White Cloud True Monarch deliberated and then said, “Currently, True Yang Immortal City is dominated by Wanhua Demon Court, their power is formidable, far beyond our ability to contend.”

“Apart from Wanhua Demon Court, there are also Ten Thousand Treasures Store and Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion in True Yang Immortal City. These two powers are not to be overly concerned with; Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion seeks only its destined immortal fate, and Ten Thousand Treasures Store focuses on business, neither will get involved in the disputes within True Yang Immortal City.”

“According to the rules set by Wanhua Demon Court, the future of True Yang Immortal City requires seven directors to manage the affairs, among whom Wanhua Demon Court will occupy three seats, with Xiong Ba Demon King from the Vajra Bear Clan as the chief director!”

“Apart from the three seats by Wanhua Demon Court, the remaining four seats will be allocated to other powers, it has been confirmed that Minghai Palace will occupy one of these seats.”

Jian Changhe’s expression shifted, “Why does Minghai Palace get to occupy a seat?”

Minghai Palace is located in the sea territory north of the Wanhua Western Region, although it is a Golden Core power, it remains secluded in Beihai, rarely involving itself in land affairs.

“Wanhua Demon Court also needs to show respect to Beihai Demon Court, as Beihai Demon Court is much stronger than Wanhua Demon Court!” White Cloud True Monarch explained.

The demon forces in Wanhua Domain are numerous, but the strongest demon factions are Beihai Demon Court and South Sea Demon Court, with Wanhua Demon Court ranking third.

And Minghai Palace is an affiliate of Beihai Demon Court, Wanhua Demon Court hopes to ally with Beihai Demon Court against human powers but doesn’t want Beihai Demon Court leading True Yang Immortal City, hence they let Minghai Palace enter instead of Beihai Demon Court.

“Three seats, and we just happen to be three persons!” Jian Changhe glanced at Yang Zhenshan.

White Cloud True Monarch shook his head slightly, “Our opponents aren’t few!”

“Who are they?”

“The most troublesome is Yellow Springs Old Ghost, apart from him, there are Ancestor Chi Xia True Monarch from Xiaxian Sect, Ancestor Chi Hua True Monarch from Huaxian Sect, Ancestor Chi Yuan Ancestor from Nanhua Sect, and Ancestor True Monarch Zhao Yuan from the Li family of the immortal clan,” White Cloud True Monarch said.

Yang Zhenshan raised his head in confusion, asking, “Are these forces from the Wanhua Mountain Range?”

“Yes, the Xiaxian Sect, Huaxian Sect, and Nanhua Sect all originated from the Ancient Wanhua Immortal Sect, which existed before the Sun True Sect,” White Cloud True Monarch explained.

“Will they unite?” Yang Zhenshan wasn’t concerned about the heritage of these factions, he cared whether they would come together to oppose outsiders.

“No, these three sects have always been vying for the orthodox status of Wanhua Immortal Sect, and they have deep-seated rivalries and grievances!”

“I see, then what about this Li family of the immortal clan?”

“The immortal clan Li family is not to worry about, only Li Zhao Yuan himself has some fortuitous encounters!”

A Foundation Establishment family can be called a family, while a Golden Core family is called an immortal clan; the Yang family is now considered an immortal clan.

However, immortal clans are rare in the Immortal Cultivation World due to the difficulty in sustaining their lineage.

A Golden Core Cultivator can protect a family for three thousand years, but it is quite difficult for an immortal clan to cultivate another Golden Core Cultivator.

Thus, most immortal clans can only last two to three thousand years; once a Golden Core Ancestor ascends, the immortal clan declines.

Jian Changhe contemplated and said, “So we seven are competing for three seats?”

White Cloud True Monarch nodded slightly, “That’s essentially the case!”

“Yellow Springs Ancestor, Chi Xia True Monarch, Chi Hua True Monarch, Chi Yuan True Monarch, these four are our competitors!”

“Actually~”

He glanced at Yang Zhenshan and Jian Changhe before continuing, “Actually, we could aim for just one seat, that might be easier!”

Jian Changhe and Yang Zhenshan exchanged a look, understanding his intent.

If they only aim for one seat, it naturally means White Cloud True Monarch takes the seat, while the other two would become his affiliates.

Yang Zhenshan had no issues with this; affiliating with White Cloud True Monarch was something he could accept.

He had been a Guest Elder in the Illusion Moon Sect and Hidden Sword Mountain, so being a Guest Elder in White Cloud Immortal City was no big deal.

Such a Guest Elder role represents an alliance, as long as it doesn’t meddle in the Yang family and Spirit Origin’s affairs and provides benefits to them, he wouldn’t mind forming such an alliance.

Compared to Yang Zhenshan’s indifference, Jian Changhe furrowed his brow.
