Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 431: Chapter 220: Rivers of Blood, Seven Orifices Rune, Marriage Bestowal (Part 3)

Boom!

A burst of flame shot out, transforming into a Fire Python blazing a path ahead.

Under the glow of the Fire Python,

the originally dim underground passage suddenly turned fiery red. Walking down the tunnel to the end, one would find a stone chamber with its door tightly shut.

On the naturally formed stone wall in front of the chamber, the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Tree caught Meizhen’s gaze at once,

”So, it is here!”

Meizhen showed a rare look of excitement, forcing herself to divert her gaze from the stone wall, and cast a technique onto the door of the stone chamber.

Boom!

The stone chamber instantly opened.

At that moment,

a shadow dashed towards the stone steps like lightning.

Meizhen snorted coldly.

Flicked her index finger.

The Fire Python howled, instantly catching up to Yuntian, who didn’t even have time to scream before being burnt to ashes falling like white dust.

Unassured, Meizhen entered the stone chamber, inspecting it thoroughly and confirming there was no outsider.

Only then did she stand before the ancient stone wall.

Previously, she pinched a technique with her right hand, reciting unknown spells with an increasingly loud voice. These spells turned into notes that merged into the ancient stone wall.

The faintly visible Seven-Aperture Exquisite Tree on the stone wall quivered slightly.

The next moment,

it transformed into numerous ancient golden runes.

As the twelfth rune took form, the entire stone wall rumbled and trembled, eventually collapsing with a bang.

No trace was left behind.

The twelve golden runes in mid-air buzzed and entered Meizhen’s body completely.

Meizhen’s body trembled slightly.

Apparently digesting this information.

It took more than half an hour.

Meizhen slowly opened her tightly closed eyes, yet at this moment, within the depths of her eyes, the same golden runes seemed to flicker, only to vanish swiftly and return to normal.

Just then,

the Communication Jade Talisman on Meizhen’s waist emitted an urgent buzzing sound.

A technique was cast into it.

Liuu Mingyun’s voice rang out:

”Senior, Grand Elder Tangg has already arrived at the foot of Yangg Family Mountain.”

”He came quite quickly.”

When Meizhen walked out calmly from the Scripture Pavilion, Liuu Mingyun had long been waiting. Upon seeing Meizhen finally appear, he hurriedly approached:

”Senior, what should we do now?”

”Since the esteemed guest has arrived, we should welcome them in.”

Welcome them in?

Liuu Mingyun hesitated for a moment but still gently reminded:

”Senior, the Grand Elder of the Tangg Family is in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.”

”Hmm, bring them to the Council Hall.”

Meizhen calmly proceeded to the Council Hall first. Seeing this, Liuu Mingyun gritted his teeth and personally went down the mountain. At this time, the Array Light Curtain opened a gap automatically.

Liuu Mingyun thought it was manipulated by Meizhen and didn’t mind.

He clasped hands towards the Grand Elder Tangg:

”Grand Elder!”

Grand Elder Tangg swept his Divine Sense, discovering Yang Mountain covered in blood with no sign of Yangg clan members. He instantly knew he was a step too late.

However.

The Liuu family was right under their noses.

When did they gain such capability to kill a Foundation Establishment expert and take over the Yangg Family territory in less than half a day?

Grand Elder Tangg coldly glared at Liuu Mingyun:

”Liuu Clan Leader, it seems I had misjudged before.”

With that.

He flickered.

And flew up the mountain, having sensed the Foundation Establishment aura wafting from the mountaintop.

Arriving at the Council Hall.

He saw Meizhen sitting calmly at the head.

Grand Elder Tangg swept his Divine Sense, only to find she’s a Female Cultivator who just entered the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, yet dared to act out in their Tangg Family domain. He wanted to see what background the opposite party had.

After sitting down in the hall,

Grand Elder Tangg’s voice buzzed as he said:

”Fellow Daoist, the Yangg Family is a Qi Cultivation Clan under our Ninth-Grade Tangg Family. If you cannot provide a reason for the massacre of Yangg, do not think of leaving Taiyun County today.”

Meizhen flicked her index finger.

A Memory Bean Pod instantly floated mid-air.

Then,

The scene of Yangg Clan Leader leading the Yangg clan members to attack the Liuu Family Territory unfolded rapidly.

Grand Elder Tangg watched, his eyelids twitched. This Yangg Clan Leader had just broken through; he did not expect the other party to be so impatient, attacking the Liuu Family so swiftly.

The Memory Bean Pod dissipated into a puff of cyan smoke with a bang.

Only then did Meizhen speak:

”Grand Elder Tangg, as you can see, the Yangg Family acted first, and our Liuu Family only defended. Also, I forgot to introduce myself to Grand Elder Tangg, I am the daughter of the current clan leader of the Liuu Family branch in Anyang County, Jingzhou, and also the Lady of the House of the Fu Family in Pingshan County and Yunshan County.”

Although Jingzhou and Jingzhou’s outskirts,

Jingzhou is a remote place, and other provincial Noble Families wouldn’t think to go to Jingzhou, where there’s constant conflict with the Eastern Wilderness Tribe or rampant Demon Beasts in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

So, regarding the Ninth-Grade Noble Family of Jingzhou,

Grand Elder Tangg only heard of those in North Huai Prefecture, and South Huai Prefecture is even more remote, never heard of at all.

However.

Hearing that Meizhen is the Lady of the House of two counties’ lands still genuinely shocked him, implying the Fu Family once annihilated another Ninth-Grade or they wouldn’t have two lands.

He never thought.

The Liuu family, under his Taiyun County governance, had such a formidable branch. Grand Elder Tangg initially came for accountability, but now his mind spun rapidly.

The Yangg Family was finished.

The Liuu Family’s extermination of the Yangg Family was justifiable, supported by a Ninth-Grade Noble Family, and Grand Elder Tangg wasn’t foolish. Regardless of which Qi Cultivation Clan he supports, it wouldn’t matter.

Now that the Liuu Family had aligned with the Fu Family’s great influence.

The ascension to Ninth-Grade was within reach.

Once promoted,

Their Tangg Family’s stride to Eighth-Grade would make significant progress, hence after much contemplation, Grand Elder Tangg shifted his gaze, slightly nodding:

”In principle, Fellow Daoist Liuu, since you are the Ninth-Grade Family Matriarch, you shouldn’t get involved in Qi Cultivation Clan conflicts, but when it comes to the survival of bloodline families, it is an exception. Thus, the Yangg Family led itself to its doom, let this matter rest here.”

The conversation turned.

Grand Elder Tangg then did not mention the Yangg Family issue anymore.

Instead, he proactively played matchmaker, bestowing a marriage to Liuu Mingyun, and the two families quickly held a lively wedding banquet.

The other three major Qi Cultivation clans in Taiyun County also attended.

At the wedding banquet,

Meizhen sat at the main seat, giving Liuu Mingyun ample face. Hereafter, the original five major Qi Cultivation clans in Taiyun County turned into the sole dominance of the Liuu Family overnight.

After the banquet,

all Talisman Array Masters of the Liuu Family boarded the Treasure Ship, along with tens of thousands of miners. These miners included those from the Liuu Family as well as those originally belonging to the Yangg Family.

The Treasure Ship was fully loaded,

and slowly sailed towards Jingzhou.
