Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors
Chapter 196 The Pill and Weapon Sect Moves Again and Again
It wasn't that Elder Zhao was overly suspicious; he was genuinely afraid.
They fear that the Xu family, to which Xu Chen belongs, is truly their old enemy.
The You family is a renowned family in the Martial Kingdom. If they sneeze, their Pill and Weapon Sect will be wiped out.
If the Xu and You families were to marry, and it were to become known that they were in the Wu Kingdom, they would be doomed.
After a while.
Elder Zhao said, "Their wedding is in five days. Let's go together then to take a look and confirm." What do you think?
Originally, the sect leader did not want to agree. He still felt that it was too strange for the Xu family to form a marriage alliance with a major family in the Wu Kingdom when the Pill and Weapon Sect had only been in the Wu Kingdom for a little over a year.
But on second thought, it wouldn't hurt to go and check to confirm.
"Okay, let's go together then."
Seeing that the sect leader agreed, Elder Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn't agreed, Elder Zhao had even prepared to run away on his own.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
The capital of Wu Kingdom was quite lively. Today was the wedding day of the You family's daughter, and festive decorations were hung on the streets near the You family's residence.
Because the Xu family had only recently moved to Duanshan City and had no acquaintances there, Xu Qingzhou decided to hold the wedding and banquet in Wu Kingdom.
Guests flocked to the You family to offer their congratulations, and some smaller factions, ineligible for invitations, could only join in the fun from the outside.
The Danqi Sect was also among them.
Elder Zhao and the sect leader had arrived long ago and were waiting for the wedding procession to arrive.
They blended into the crowd, like two ordinary passersby.
"I heard that the family of the You family's son-in-law used to be just a small family in a poor and remote place."
"What's so special about that? The daughter of the family patriarch was discovered and taken as a disciple by the Lord of Shenque Mansion when she was only five years old. Once she grows up and inherits the position of Lord of the Mansion, developing the family will be a piece of cake."
"There's no need for 'later,' the Xu family has already risen to prominence, moved to Duanshan City, and bought a blessed land to live in."
"Tsk tsk, the Xu family is truly blessed with good fortune. No wonder the You family head was willing to marry his daughter to them."
Upon hearing the words "remote and impoverished area," the sect leader and Elder Zhao instinctively trembled.
The two looked at each other.
The sect leader said, "Don't panic. Compared to a great power like the Wu Kingdom, many places are just remote and impoverished areas. They may not necessarily be referring to the Great Qian Dynasty."
Elder Zhao forced a smile.
Just then, a dragon's roar suddenly came from the distant sky.
"Om!!"
Invisible sound waves rushed in from afar, ruffling the hair and clothes of passersby.
Soon they saw a dark shadow in the sky.
Only after flying closer could one see clearly that it was actually a black dragon, with a young man dressed in wedding attire standing on its head.
It was obvious that he was the groom.
It should be noted that within the main urban area of the Wu Kingdom's capital, apart from members of the royal family and the Imperial Guard, cultivators are prohibited from flying, and riding flying mounts is also forbidden.
However, as one of the most powerful families in the Wu Kingdom, You Chengwu made a special trip to meet with His Majesty beforehand for this matter.
This was actually a small matter. The King of Wu Kingdom gave the You family face, which was also a way of giving face to the Divine Palace, so he agreed to his request.
This allowed Xu Chen to ride a dragon to fetch his bride, making a grand and impressive spectacle.
The dragon flew over the crowd and slowly landed in front of the You family. Joyful music and firecrackers rang out one after another, and a festive atmosphere quickly spread.
At this moment, the sect leader of the Danqi Sect and Elder Zhao had clearly seen the groom's appearance.
"boom!!"
The two of them immediately felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in their minds.
Suddenly, their vision went black, they felt dizzy and unsteady, and almost collapsed on the spot.
"This, this, this..."
"go!"
The sect leader and Elder Zhao left with trepidation, their faces filled with disbelief and terror, a stark contrast to the festive decorations on the street.
"It really is the Xu family!"
"How could it be the Xu family?"
"Why is it the Xu family again!"
The sect leader clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he posed three soul-searching questions. Elder Zhao, whose head was buzzing, didn't even hear what he was saying.
They thought that after leaving the Great Qian Dynasty, in the vast and boundless Eastern Region of Cangzhou, where cities and kingdoms were as numerous as stars, they would never encounter the Xu family again and could develop in peace.
Never imagined.
Having only been in the Wu Kingdom for a little over a year, they discovered that the Xu family was going to form a marriage alliance with a powerful family in the Wu Kingdom.
They even suspected that the Xu family had discovered the Pill and Weapon Sect and were deliberately following them and playing them for a fool, instead of killing them.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that of the eight ancient kingdoms, they chose the Wu Kingdom, which was among them?
They walked around in a daze for a while before they came to their senses.
Then he rushed back to the sect and convened a meeting of the elders. After Elder Zhao explained the situation, the other elders reacted in the same way.
Surprise, anger, fear.
"Damn it! This Xu family is like a leech, I can't shake them off no matter what I do!!"
"Stop saying anything, let's move."
The elders were numb to the word "moving," and had even forgotten to be stubborn like before. They didn't want to pretend anymore; they were tired.
Where are you moving to this time?
"The State of Zheng? The State of You?"
"Since we're going to move anyway, let's move even further this time, directly away from the territory of the Eight Ancient Kingdoms. I refuse to believe we'll run into them again!!"
"That makes sense! How about the Great Xia or the Nine Li Dynasty?"
"The Nine Li Dynasty is too close to the Southern Region, and the demonic cultivators are too ferocious. It would be better to go to the Great Xia Dynasty."
"It makes sense!"
The elders all looked at the sect leader, who nodded absentmindedly.
"well...."
Fortunately, they were alchemists and weapon crafters, skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting. With their skills, they could make a living and survive no matter where they moved.
If it were any other faction, they would have given up long ago after such frequent relocations.
This time, however, the blow was just too great.
In the past, they only thought that moving the clan was a temporary way to avoid the Xu family's sharp edge. Given enough time, they would have a chance to rise up and catch up with the Xu family.
But now that they suddenly learned that Xu Qingzhou's daughter had become the master of the Divine Palace, they realized that the Pill and Weapon Sect had absolutely no chance of catching up with the Xu family.
It can be described as both helpless and desperate.
