The spacious and deep hall was brightly lit, shining like the sun. Rows of long metal tables were placed neatly, and countless maids were hovering around like butterflies … and large groups of Yu Clan's men, who were wearing specially made black uniforms and had serious faces, were walking around in the hall.
Seeing Yu Meng and the others, a Yu Clan man in a black robe walked over with stiff and precise steps, as if he was a puppet. He carefully asked Yu Meng about his name, family background, ancestral family, and the name of the world controlled by his family. Then, he took out a fist-sized jade slip and carefully read it.
"So, this is it... White Flower Skylark Family, an affiliated family of Ado River Family, a ninth-grade family, Moro Family, the conqueror of Pan Sha world and the other ninety-nine worlds... Moro Meng is allowed to use the noble family name of 'Yu' because he controls this world. Thirty-five people are from his family. Please follow me. This is your seat! "
Yu Meng silently nodded to the man in a black robe. The man in a black robe gave a reserved smile, with an obvious scorn flashing across his eyes. He turned around and led the group of people to the depth of the hall with those stiff yet precise steps.
Following beside Yu Meng, Ji Hao silently recalled the strict hierarchy of families in Pan Yu world that Yu Meng told him about.
Roughly speaking, families in Pan Yu world were divided into nine grades. Grades one to three were true high-grade families, truly powerful ones. Their family names were based on famous rivers in Pan Yu world.
Ado River Family, the suzerain of Yu Meng Family, was a famous giant river in the first land of Pan Yu world. In terms of both the total water volume and the area of its drainage basin, Ado River Family was among the top five in Pan Yu world. Using such a great river as the name of a family, one could easily imagine the status of Ado River Family in Pan Yu world.
Grades four to six belonged to middle-level families in Pan Yu world. They were the backbone of the entire Pan Yu world. Most famous commanders, master craftsmen, and artists in Pan Yu world were from families at this level. The names of these families were based on famous mountains in Pan Yu world.
Seventh to ninth grade families were low-grade small families in Pan Yu world. Most of these families were vassals of the upper class noble families. They didn't have much autonomy. Their territories, their lives, their personal wealth, in short, everything they had belonged to the patriarch's family.
The suzerain's clan held the lives and deaths of these inferior small clans, demanding everything they needed as much as they wanted … And what the suzerain's clan provided to these inferior vassal clans was only protection in name, and the occasional leftovers that slipped through the cracks of their fingers.
The clan names of these low-level clans used various birds and beasts as their names, and their clan emblems were also engraved with these birds and beasts. The more powerful the family, the more powerful the birds and beasts they used.
White flower skylarks were the weakest species in Pan Yu world. They fed on grass seeds, and were almost defenseless.
Yu Meng's family had the White Flower Skylark as their emblem, so one could imagine that even though Yu Meng's family was a ninth rank small family, it was one of the weakest. For such a family to decline due to a lack of strength, it was only natural that they would be forced to embark on the road of exploration.
While following the man in a black robe to the seats arranged for Yu Meng and the others, countless thoughts flashed across Ji Hao's mind.
Yu Meng was born in the White Flower Skylark Family, which used to be a ninth rank small family. But now, Yu Meng controlled a whole hundred worlds, with tens of billions of elite local warriors like Su under his command.
Nevertheless, these people in power in Pan Yu world still saw Yu Meng as a lowly human being, and saw him as an object of their power … Ji Hao couldn't understand what these high-grade families in Pan Yu world were thinking.
From afar, one could see dozens of long tables standing at the end of the hall. These tables were made of gold and inlaid with countless pearls and gems. Under the bright light, these dozens of long tables emitted a dazzling aura of pearls and gems, appearing particularly dazzling.
Gathered around these long tables were some tall and sturdy Yu Clan men, who were wearing luxurious clothes and had handsome faces. Every single move of theirs was graceful and elegant, and every single pore of theirs had been releasing an insufferably noble and proud feeling. On the left side of their chests was a family coat of arms carved from precious crystals. The patterns on the coat of arms were either ferocious surging or vast, misty rivers.
Abruptly, Yu Meng pointed at a middle-aged man with a golden crown and said, "Yu Di, the current leader of Ado River Family. My fiancee, Lanxi, is the illegitimate daughter of his distant cousin … You see, this time, in order to better control my family, they have indeed invested a lot. "
With a voice that only Ji Hao could hear, Yu Meng murmured in a voice that only Ji Hao could hear, "A promiscuous slut is actually going to be my legal wife. She and I will be the next head of the White Flower Skylark Family … Who knows who the child in her belly will be? "
Ji Hao patted Yu Meng's shoulder and glanced at Yu Di.
The word 'Yu' was a special symbol among Yu Clan people. In Pan Yu world or colony worlds, as long as one was affected by the great Dao of a world and possessed enough power, he or she could be crowned with the title of 'Yu'.
Yu Meng also had the title of 'Yu', and had controlled a whole hundred worlds. However, Yu Meng could only look at Yu Di from a distance away, without being able to approach him.
The man in a black robe stopped, pointed at a long bronze table, and said in a cold and stiff tone, "This is the seat of your White Flower Skylark Family. Please note that without permission, you cannot step into the banquet area in front of you. You can only move around in the bronze table area … Please show respect to the high-grade families! "
Ji Hao looked over. In the broad hall, apart from the tens of golden tables that were the most eye-catching, nearly three-hundred golden tables were placed under the table area, which could accommodate nearly ten-thousand people.
Other than that, nearly two-thousand silver tables were placed in the hall, surrounding the golden table area in a fan-shape.
Most of them were long tables made of bronze, and there were as many as 30,000 of them. Between the long bronze table and the long silver table was a three-hundred-zhang wide area. A row of Yu Clan men in black clothes stood in this area with their hands resting on their lower abdomens and cold smiles on their faces. They were staring at Yu Meng and the other low-grade family members, who could only move in the bronze area, coldly and fiercely.
The looks of these men in black robes were weird. They looked at Yu Meng and the others as if they were looking at a group of wild beasts, their eyes filled with disgust.
