Fang Yu and the others looked in the direction of the voice.
In the corner near them on the right side, there were four or five people in robes, with peculiar expressions, sizing up Fang Yu. Among them were the ones who greeted Fang Yu earlier. They were members of the Zhushuang Clan. As for the one speaking, he was a somewhat effeminate man with long hair, appearing rather enchanting.
"It's them... before we came, Huangfu Zhan said that an extra person was invited today, but he assumed they wouldn't dare come... didn't expect them to actually show up."
"Who is this person? Being valued by Huangfu Zhan, that's not simple."
"You're overthinking... it's just a lowly bloodline... no matter what abilities they have, no matter how special they are, not being of a legitimate lineage, they are destined to be lowly."
Another person snorted coldly and said:
"How dare a lowly bloodline sit on equal footing with us, Huangfu Zhan, this old fool, can't handle matters right!"
"Ignore it for now, when the gathering begins, let's see how they explain!"
In ancient times.
The Emperor sat on the Dragon Chair, with others arranged on either side in a very particular manner. Status was ranked from high to low, in order.
Suddenly, if a beggar or a commoner sits among the officials, how would the civil and military officials think? These people think just like that.
In their heart of hearts, they believe Fang Yu and the others are lowly humans, unworthy of sitting as equals with them.
...
"Brother Yu, I really want to go up and fight them now!"
"Yes, me too, it's too infuriating… they actually call brother-in-law a lowly human!" Jiang Xiaoxiao said.
"Uh... it seems they're not only talking about me?" Fang Yu rolled his eyes.
"No way, my sister and I are from the Tianyin Clan! Isn't Tianyin one of the Ten Great Bloodlines?" Jiang Xiaoxiao said.
"Indeed! That's unquestionable!"
"Then they're talking about you two." Jiang Xiaoxiao pointed at Fang Yu and Chen Daotian.
"..."
Fang Yu and Chen Daotian were dumbstruck.
The number of people grew larger.
All kinds of strangely dressed people also arrived.
Looking at those peculiar people, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but curiously ask, "Brother-in-law, do you recognize them?"
"I don't recognize them, but I know which clans they're from!"
"Really?" Jiang Xiaoxiao said with a face full of admiration.
"The first row on the left, all in fiery red, they excel in the Fire Attribute, naturally born manipulators of Inner Essence of Fire Attribute, they are the Fire Flame Clan. Note the red tokens in their hands, those are called Flame Jade Tokens, it's their weapon." Fang Yu said.
Jiang Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and said, "Brother-in-law, you're amazing!"
"On the right is the Tianmai Clan, don't be fooled by their petite stature and frail appearance. They can manipulate puppets, powerful puppets scarier than Transformers."
"Over there is the Yingzhao Clan, a tribe from the Huaxia Xirong tribes, though it's hard to believe, legend has it they can fly..."
Jiang Xiaoxiao paused for a moment.
Staring incredulously.
"On the right edge are the Ghost Dao Clan, don't they feel eerie? Their hands hold the Ghost Bell, which can control corpses!"
"At the back left is the recent one, called the Jiuli Clan... some members of the Jiuli Clan do not differentiate between male and female, practicing Yin Yang cultivation, so they look a bit androgynous. In the Ten Great Bloodlines, they are also the most non-conformist clan. Sitting next to them are the Zhushuang Clan, who greeted me earlier. They are proficient with weapons like the Fangtian Halberd, focusing on Cold Attribute."
After the introductions.
Chen Daotian and Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at Fang Yu in shock.
Jiang Wei looked at Fang Yu with puzzlement and said, "How do you know all this?"
Fang Yu chuckled and pointed at those tokens and said, "Their tribe names are written on the tokens... as for other information, of course, it's because of my broad knowledge. I usually not only do cultivation but also read extensively, I spend some time every day reading... hearing this, don't you feel a bit hopeless?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Wei didn't understand his words.
Chen Daotian sighed and said, "Alas, more talented people than me put in more effort, then what's the point of me working hard?"
"..."
It seems to make some sense.
Just as they were chatting playfully.
The scene started discussing.
The people before us represent six of the Ten Great Bloodlines.
Each of them is a cultivation master.
If this was before an outbreak in the Secret Realm, any one of these people could shake the ages.
They are the true bigshots.
At this moment.
At the entrance of the banquet.
Huangfu Zhan in a golden robe, along with Ye Xie in grey attire, slowly entered.
"The Clan Leaders of the True Dragon Clan and the True Phoenix Clan have arrived," Chen Daotian said.
Jiang Xiaoxiao, as usual, said with a face full of curiosity, "Wow, they're the Dragon and Phoenix clans that brother-in-law boasts about, being very powerful?"
"Yes, that's them!" Chen Daotian said.
"Hehe... they're so impressive, people on both sides bow to them when they see them, truly imposing!" Jiang Xiaoxiao said.
"You might not know, sister-in-law is the Holy Daughter of the True Phoenix Clan," Chen Daotian said.
Jiang Wei furrowed her brows and said, "Is it Miss Ye Wenjun?"
"Correct."
"Then why didn't she come? My sister and I are of the Tianyin Clan, and Sister Wenjun is the True Phoenix Holy Daughter. If she came, would they still look down on us?"
Chen Daotian sighed and said, "There are unavoidable reasons. Best not to discuss it, let's deal with the matter at hand first."
...
In the arena.
Huangfu Zhan of the True Dragon Clan walked to the main seat, while to his left, Ye Xie walked over.
The hierarchy was clearly defined, with no one daring to overstep.
The main seat was the highest, the left was primary, the right secondary.
Huangfu Zhan pressed his hands down with a commanding presence and said:
"Eight thousand years! A full eight thousand years!"
His eyes glimmered.
As his voice sounded, the entire banquet area became extremely quiet.
No one dared to speak around. They didn't even dare to move.
The guards alone numbered in the hundreds.
The Eight Great Clans filled the eight tables at the front of the banquet area and behind them were disciples not so central to their clans.
At this moment, no one paid attention to Fang Yu and the others in the corner.
All eyes were focused on Huangfu Zhan.
"For eight thousand years, we endured this difficult period together in the Secret Realm... I thank all the Clan Leaders for trusting me, Huangfu Zhan, and willing to leave a mark! Today... to celebrate your return, we have specially prepared good food. Let's not leave until we're drunk!"
The entire room was in uproar.
Everyone saluted Huangfu Zhan.
Fang Yu was also surprised, not expecting Huangfu Zhan's ability to rally so effectively!
Following this...
Huangfu Zhan continued:
"The True Dragon Clan always takes up the responsibility of restoring order to the world... since ancient times, this mission has never changed. Eight thousand years ago, the True Dragon Clan spared no effort in upholding the Jiuzhou's order. Eight thousand years later, it's fitting that the True Dragon Clan should again take up this burden! Please, I ask for your strong support!"
At this moment.
Someone from the Fire Flame Clan stood up and said, "Our Fire Flame Clan fully supports the True Dragon Clan!"
Following this.
"Our Tianmai Clan fully supports!"
"Our Yingzhao Clan fully supports!"
"Our Ghost Dao Clan fully supports!"
"Our Zhushuang Clan fully supports!"
Everyone's gaze rhythmically turned towards the Jiuli Clan.
It was expected that the Jiuli Clan would also agree.
But unexpectedly, the effeminate one from the Jiuli Clan stood up with a smile and said, "Huangfu Zhan... today is not like the past! Do you think this is still the Ancient Times, where whatever you say goes?"
"Hmm?" Huangfu Zhan's eyes chilled.
The effeminate person laughed and said, "If you wish to rebuild the status of the True Dragon Clan from eight thousand years ago... then it should be done according to old conventions! My Jiuli Clan can support the True Dragon! But I have a question to ask..."
"Speak." Huangfu Zhan's face was serious.
Whoosh—
All eyes focused, full of confusion, on the Jiuli Clan member.
"Our Ten Great Bloodlines, at least a legitimate bloodline on this continent, high in status... who gave them the authority to sit on equal footing with us, the Jiuli Clan?"
Jiuli pointed to the corner.
Following the direction of his pointing.
Everyone looked towards the table where Fang Yu was sitting!
