Danwu God Emperor
Chapter 116 The Unification Ceremony
The next day, under the blazing sun, Wushan Town was filled with a festive atmosphere. On this day, everyone in the town put aside their work and began to decorate their rooms, mainly because the Dong family had spent a lot of money distributing gifts to every household, so everyone was naturally happy to decorate.
At this moment, the streets and alleys are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the atmosphere is full of joy. They have long forgotten that not long ago, the blood of the Ye family members was flowing under their feet. Time always washes away people's memories of the losers. Even the Ye Lou, who was famous at the time, is only mentioned occasionally.
There might be a little regret, but in the end, it will all be laughed off.
Now they will only remember the Dong family, and in the future they will only tell their descendants that it was Dong Kuofeng of the Dong family who unified Wushan Town.
The Dong family ancestral hall.
Standing before the ancestral tablets of the Dong family, Dong Kuofeng stood tall and straight, hands behind his back. His entire demeanor had undergone a dramatic transformation; he was no longer as humble as before, but rather arrogant and confident.
What the Dong family had failed to achieve for so many years, they finally accomplished in his generation: Wushan Town was unified, and Dong Qianqian would go to a wider world and have a better future. At this moment, it seemed as if he could see a brighter future for the Dong family.
"Ancestors, Kuofeng has not let you down."
squeak!
"Father!" At this moment, the ancestral hall door was pushed open, and Dong Qianqian walked in. Although she had suffered a blow from Ye Lou, how could the pride in her bones be easily broken? Now that the Ye family had been destroyed and Ye Lou had disappeared, the Dong family was becoming stronger day by day.
Dong Qianqian's mental strength is greater than that of many people. She is willing to use any means necessary to achieve her goals. Now that she has the support of a powerful family, the rumors and gossip from the outside world have little effect on her.
Perhaps the only thing that could disturb her peace was Ye Lou.
"Everything outside has been arranged, and the major families we invited will be arriving soon."
“Okay!” Dong Kuofeng nodded. “I thought I would never live to see this day, but I never expected that I would actually achieve it.”
"Congratulations, Father." Dong Qianqian's gaze wandered, not fully taking Dong Kuofeng's words to heart. Instead, she murmured, "Dad, do you think Ye Lou will come today?"
Dong Kuofeng's gaze sharpened. The name Ye Lou had a profound impact on him. If it weren't for him, the Ye family might have been swallowed up much earlier, and there wouldn't have been so many upheavals. Moreover, Ye Lou was just a junior, yet he was able to fight against him.
Such talent and courage are still a thorn in his side, even now. Although Dong Kuofeng believes that Ye Lou can no longer cause too much trouble, this thorn is like a fishbone stuck in his throat, which is why he decided to kill the Ye family members at the unification ceremony to force Ye Lou to show himself.
"Qianqian, even now, don't you understand him?" Dong Kuofeng smiled coldly, his meaning clear.
“I’m afraid there’s no need to kill those members of the Ye family. Just the sight of Ye Chongzhong hanging at the town gate is enough to force him to show himself.” Dong Qianqian’s cold gaze remained unwavering.
"Hmph! That old bastard Ye Chongzhong thought that protecting Ye Lou with his life was enough, but he didn't know that his death would only become a burden to Ye Lou. After today, there will be no more Ye family members." Dong Kuofeng took a few steps forward, his arrogance overwhelming. He saw Mu Wanrou's brows furrow slightly, probably influenced by hearing Ye Lou's name.
"Qianqian, you are quite talented. Don't let Ye Lou affect your mindset. You will have a brighter future."
"Father, don't worry, I won't be defeated so easily." Dong Qianqian nodded, a cold smile creeping onto her face. Ye Lou, a genius? From today onwards, he's nothing but a dead man. Once she understood this, Dong Qianqian felt enlightened, and her restless heart calmed down.
"Let's go, the major families should all be here." Dong Kuofeng chuckled, patted Mu Wanrou's shoulder, and strode out.
Upon arriving at the Dong family hall, the Dong family members were all extremely excited, walking with their heads held high. From now on, there would be no more three-way power struggle in Wushan Town; everything would be decided by the Dong family. How could they not be pleased?
Following Dong Kuofeng, they strode confidently out the gate and received congratulatory gifts from countless wealthy and powerful people in Wushan Town. The long line stretched as far as the eye could see, and the threshold of the Dong family's house was almost broken. The congratulatory messages were more impressive and grand than the last.
"Alright, alright!" Dong Kuofeng stood at the door, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to be quiet. "I am very grateful for everyone's congratulations. If I can be of any help to you in the future, I will do my best. Today is the day I take over Wushan Town. Everyone is welcome to move to the square. I will treat you all to a good drink!"
"Alright! Clan Chief Dong, you're too kind!"
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Chief Dong. If you ever need my help in the future, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"
Dong Kuofeng couldn't stop smiling as the polite words were exchanged. The Dong family members behind him all looked smug. Standing inside this gate was an honor, making them feel superior. They looked at the people fawning over them, regardless of whether their intentions were genuine or not.
Being afraid of the Dong family is enough!
"Alright, everyone, please!" Dong Kuofeng smiled and gestured an invitation. Although these people were not as powerful as the Dong family, they still had considerable influence in Wushan Town and needed some cooperation. Moreover, their fawning over him was just a way of giving them face, so why not?
On the streets of Wushan Town, members of the Dong family walked in front, followed by a long queue. Those who were closer to the Dong family walked with more swagger, even though they knew they were just using the family's influence for their own benefit.
It was still the same square where Tianyi recruited students, but now it was Dong Kuofeng, not Liu Changfeng, who was sitting in the seat of honor. Thousands of tables were set up in the huge square, and many people had already taken their seats. When they saw the Dong family members arrive, they couldn't help but stand up to offer their congratulations.
At the same time, six people walked over from not far away, a typical elder leading a younger person. Although they came from the same direction, they deliberately separated, each of them looking at the other with disdain.
"Aren't those the Zhao family, the Xu family, and the Gong family from Lanxi Town? I didn't expect Chief Dong to invite them."
"Lanxi Town is a second-class town."
Excitement filled the eyes of the crowd. The people of Lanxi Town had always looked down on them, and now that Chief Dong had been able to invite them, it was a recognition of Wushan Town. They believed that before long, Wushan Town would be able to stand on equal footing with them.
The six people strode forward, full of vigor. The three elders remained calm and composed in the face of such admiring gazes, while the three juniors, each with an extraordinary bearing, thoroughly enjoyed the attention.
Upon entering, it became clear which six people from the three major families of Lanxi Town were present: Xu Xingcheng of the Xu family, along with his son Xu Neng; Zhao Yuanfeng of the Zhao family, accompanied by his son Zhao Shiqi; and on the other side, Gong Quan and his son Gong Cheng'er.
The three elders were all patriarchs of their respective families, and their sons were all the top talents in their families. The scene was truly impressive, and Dong Kuofeng was filled with pride, having gained a lot of face.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Xu, Brother Gong, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Dong Kuofeng hurriedly stepped forward to greet you with a smile, and then said, "Qianqian, quickly greet your three uncles."
"Qianqian greets the three uncles." Dong Qianqian moved gracefully to stand before them, smiling gently. The three prodigies were captivated, but the thought that this was Ouyang Wei's woman immediately suppressed their restless hearts. This woman was not to be touched.
"Brother Dong, you've had a wonderful daughter!" Gong Quan exclaimed with a smile, and Zhao Yuanfeng and Xu Xingcheng echoed him with smiles.
"Not at all, we can't compare to the three geniuses. Please take a seat!" Dong Kuofeng laughed heartily and led the three to their seats.
Then some clan leaders from third-tier towns arrived, and Dong Kuofeng still went forward to greet them, but he no longer needed to put on such a warm welcome. Unifying Wushan Town meant that he had already stepped into the ranks of second-tier towns.
When dealing with families from third-tier towns, one must naturally adopt the appropriate attitude.
Another hour passed, and the thousands of tables were almost all full, a truly magnificent sight with a sea of people. However, Dong Kuofeng did not seem to be making any move to start the meal; he was waiting for two people.
"Brother Dong, what do you mean by hanging a dead man on the gate of your town?"
The square was bustling with noise, and the voices of thousands of people could not drown out the words coming from afar. Everyone turned their heads to look, just wanting to know who it could be that Dong Kuofeng had waited for so long. They saw that the person who came was still leading a junior on horseback.
"You're here!" Dong Kuofeng's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward, saying, "Brother Gu, you've finally arrived!"
Everyone gasped in shock, and even some clan leaders from second-tier towns stood up. Could it be the Gu family from Qingliu Town, a first-tier town?
"That seems to be Gu Xiu, the patriarch of the Gu family, and his son Gu Wang."
Everyone suddenly realized that Dong Kuofeng had been waiting for the Gu family of a first-class town. Although it was not as prestigious as the Ouyang family of Guanghui City, it was still a first-class town with a great reputation. Moreover, the Ouyang family was such a behemoth that they would not have made a move unless the Dong family was facing a life-or-death situation.
Dong Kuofeng was extremely ambitious and naturally did not want the Dong family to rely on the Ouyang family for their entire lives. He also hoped that in the future, he would no longer have to be subservient to the Ouyang family. Therefore, he naturally wanted to befriend the Gu family in this first-class town.
"Brother Gu, please sit down!" This time, Dong Kuofeng led Gu Xiu to the seat next to him, making him an equal, and everyone understood his intention.
"Brother Dong, you still haven't told me what it means to have a dead old man hanging on the town gate," Gu Xiu said with a smile.
Dong Kuofeng smiled with interest and said, "That was prepared for one person."
"Oh?" Gu Xiu was slightly surprised and asked, "Who is it this time? To warrant such a welcoming ceremony from Brother Dong, I think they are definitely not friends, but enemies."
“Brother Gu sees things clearly,” Dong Kuofeng said. “This young man is named Ye Lou.”
"A junior?" Gu Xiu was even more surprised. "What kind of junior would be worth Brother Dong doing this for?"
At this moment, a member of the Dong family walked up with light steps, whispered a few words in Dong Kuofeng's ear, which immediately brought a smile to Dong Kuofeng's face. After waving him away, Dong Kuofeng stood up and shouted to the crowd, "Gentlemen, Ye Lou of the Ye family slaughtered my Dong family members, and we have an irreconcilable hatred for him. In order to force him to show himself, we hung Ye Chongzhong on the gate. Now Ye Lou is right outside the gate. Why don't we move to the gate and have a good drink together after I've settled this score?"
