This time, it didn't matter if the hidden houses were at odds with each other or not, all of them came. They were all heads of the houses, and all of them were old heads!
For these old patriarchs to personally come, it was obvious that they wanted to discuss an important matter! Most of these hidden families were in a competitive relationship, but when it came to matters of common interest, they would cooperate with each other. (《》)
"Old Zhao, I didn't think that you'd become a Sky class early phase already. I remember that you were still an Earth class late phase peak when I sent Lil 'Chen to celebrate your birthday last year, right?" Old Ancestor Yu looked at his daughter-in-law in shock. He didn't think that in less than a year, he'd become a Sky class!
"Hahahaha, am I that useless in your eyes? What, do you feel uncomfortable now that I've become a Sky class? " Old Man Zhao laughed and said, "You are already a Heaven Stage expert. If I don't work hard, how can I?"
"That's true! Our houses Yu and Zhao have always been close, and I'm happy that your house is thriving! " Old Ancestor Yu turned to Guangyin, who was behind Old Zhao, and said faintly, "Guangyin, I heard from Lil 'Jin that you're preparing to bring back an illegitimate child? What's going on? It's okay for a man to be a bit romantic, but don't cause a family conflict because of this? "
Guangyin's face reddened. The Old Ancestor of House Yu only mentioned it lightly, but for a Sky class to ask about it, it was definitely not a small matter. It meant that the Old Ancestor of House Yu was dissatisfied with what he did!
With that thought, Guangyin could only answer, "Father-in-law, this was decided by our Old Ancestor, and it wasn't Guangyin's idea …"
He could only push this to Old Zhao, and in fact, it was Old Zhao's decision. Now that Old Zhao and Old Ancestor Yu were both Sky classes- naturally, they wouldn't turn against each other over something like this!
In the hidden houses, once an elder became a Sky class, they'd call him Old Ancestor. This was because the lifespan of a Sky class would be lengthened, and after becoming a Sky class, they could protect the house for at least a hundred years, so it wasn't wrong to call him Old Ancestor!
"This was my idea!" Old Master Zhao took over the matter. "No matter what, he's still a descendant of my Zhao Family. Taking advantage of the joyous occasion of my breakthrough to the Heaven Rank to bring him back, it's not a big deal. Sanctuary! "
Old Yu nodded and didn't say anything else. His daughter wasn't happy about this, but this was House Zhao's family business, after all. Since Old Zhao had already said so, it wasn't appropriate for him to say anything else. ("")
Naturally, it would be a different story if Old Zhao hadn't advanced to the Heaven Rank. A Heaven Rank powerhouse was like a guardian to a hidden Family. As long as there was a Heaven Rank powerhouse keeping watch, and as long as the Family didn't provoke a more powerful force, it could guarantee that the Family wouldn't decline within a hundred years.
But if some of the young people in the family were so full of themselves that they became brainless and provoked a more powerful force, then it would be a different story!
However, a hidden House with a Heaven Rank powerhouse was already comparable to a normal ancient sect. Even those ancient sects with only one or two Heaven Ranks would have to think twice before making a move on a hidden House with a Heaven Rank powerhouse!
So Old Zhao breaking through to the Heaven Rank was a good thing and a bad thing for Old Yu! The good thing was that the two Houses were related by marriage, and could be considered allies. The bad thing was that House Yu wouldn't be able to control House Zhao anymore!
House Yu's original plan was to wait for Yu Xiaojin and Zhao Guangyin's child to grow up and take over House Zhao. At that time, House Yu's grandfather would be there, and he'd be able to interfere with some of House Zhao's decisions. But now that House Yu's grandfather was there, even if his grandson became the young master, he wouldn't be able to make decisions on his own!
Just like House Yu's Yu Xiaochen, when it came to House Yu's benefits, they still had to ask for his permission.
The Zhao Family's ancestor advancing to the Heaven Rank made the patriarchs of the other hidden families feel strange. They didn't know what kind of fortuitous encounter the Zhao Family's patriarch had, but it wasn't good to ask. How they advanced to the Heaven Rank was a taboo to others, so it was impossible for them to expect others to tell them.
"Congratulations, old friend Zhao!" This time, it was Old Master Pi who spoke. He was also a Heaven class, but he was a physical Heaven class. To be able to break through to Heaven class as a physical practitioner was quite rare!
"Congratulations!" The one who spoke was the Old Master of the You Family. Although the Old Master of the You Family focused on alchemy and cultivation as a supplement, no one could underestimate his Heaven Stage strength and control of alchemy fire! When a refiner reached Heaven class, even if they didn't have any special techniques, just using the fire to create a killing move was enough to give people headaches!
Unless it was a water-type, ice-type, or snow-type cultivator that could restrain fire-type cultivators, other cultivators might not even be able to get close to him before their clothes were burnt to a crisp.
Of course, these hidden houses' elders, other than House Yu's elder, had all broken through to Sky class in recent years. The reason why the hidden house association was able to intimidate them was because House Yu only had one Sky class, House Yu's elder. They were weak, and the hidden house association was able to completely suppress them!
But these years, with the disappearance of the founder of the Hidden Family Arbitration Association and the disappearance of the Chief Grand Elder, these ancestors that had advanced to the Heaven Rank started to become restless. They didn't want to be suppressed by the Hidden Family Arbitration Association, so they decided to hold this hidden family convention!
However, the elders here were all smart people. None of them were stupid. Though they had the same goal this time, none of them wanted to be the first to stand out. After all, what if the Great Elder of the Hidden House Association was still here? What if he came back to punish the hidden house that broke the rules?
Therefore, these old men sat around the conference table in silence.
"In-law, you used to be the second elder of the hidden house council. Now that the grand elder isn't here, as the second elder, why don't you say something?" Old Master Zhao saw that everyone was silent, so he spoke after a moment.
Currently, among the hidden houses, the strongest were still the hidden House Yu and the hidden House You. The hidden House Yu had two Sky class masters, while the hidden House You only had one Sky class master, the old man of House You. However, it was unknown how many Sky class masters they had in the dark.
