Without a doubt, Ling Xiao's birthday banquet had completely changed the structure of the big families in Huaxia.
The Ling Family had officially reached the top.
Among the other five big families.
The Qin Family, the Cao Family, and the Li Family were all allies of the Ling Family.
The Ye Family might not have made an official announcement, but anyone could tell that they were no longer hiding their strength and were actively building a good relationship with the Ling Family.
The four core members of the Ye Family appeared at the Ling Family's banquet at the same time. That was a strong signal.
The chief elder of the Huaxia Heavenly Group, Zhou Wenyi, obviously supported the Ling Family.
The chief elder of the Huaxia Dragon Group, Zhao Xingwu, personally sent a gift to the Ling Family. The gift might be small, but the meaning was significant.
The head of the Long Family, once the number one family in Huaxia, Long Haoran, also appeared at the banquet. However, he was repeatedly slapped in the face by Ling Yun and chased away mercilessly. In the end, he even lost everything.
This undoubtedly proved that the Long Family was powerless to stop the Ling Family from reaching the top. Even if Long Haoran appeared personally, it would be useless.
From then on, the Long Family fell from the altar, their light dimmed, and their future was uncertain.
On the other hand, the Ling Family shone brightly, completely overshadowing the Long Family's light. Their future was bright.
At least, that was what the thousands of distinguished guests who came to the Ling Family's banquet thought.
But at the same time, everyone could vaguely feel that the Ling Family and the Long Family would have a tough battle in the near future. It was still unknown who would emerge victorious.
After the banquet.
The guests who lived in the capital city naturally went home.
The ancient martial arts masters who came from all over didn't stay at the Pangu Seven Stars Hotel. Instead, they chose to leave and stay at other places in Beijing for the time being.
Ancient martial arts masters wouldn't stay together unless it was necessary. This was an unspoken rule in the ancient martial arts world.
That was because it was simply too inconvenient. Putting aside divine-tier experts, even late-stage xiantian experts had senses far beyond that of ordinary people. If one of them spoke, others within a few hundred meters would be able to hear him clearly. There was no way for them to communicate.
Therefore, after the banquet, the big shots of the ancient martial arts sects all left. None of them chose to stay.
Of course, these people actually had their own secret places where they were used to living in the capital, just like how Ye Xingchen had a secret place to stay in the eastern suburbs of the capital. It was the same principle.
On the other hand, the group of people who came from Qingshui City simply stayed in Pangu Seven Stars.
That was because they were Ling Yun's direct subordinates. They didn't come just for the birthday. There were many important figures in the Qingshui Gang, such as Murong Wenshi, Zhuang Tiande, Song Zhengyang, and Yu Shengjin. They all held important positions in the Ling Yun Corporation, and the worst among them was a consultant. They had many things to discuss with Ling Yue on this trip. They wouldn't be able to leave without at least three to five days.
In addition, the business celebrities of the secular world had become the majority of the people staying in the Pangu Seven Stars Hotel. First of all, they were business celebrities, and most of them had seen each other before. Even if they didn't say it, they could understand each other's identity with a little introduction. There was no need to hide it.
The most important reason was that the Ling Family's ascension to the top had caused a huge change in the business landscape of Huaxia. The Ling Family had just taken back the huge industries of the Ye and Long Families. That was an astronomical figure. Once they started to integrate, it would definitely affect all the industries in Huaxia. It was closely related to the respective business empires of these business celebrities.
The bigger the enterprise, the more obvious this effect would be. These people had no choice but to take advantage of this opportunity to build up a relationship with the Ling Family as much as possible so that they could achieve greater development.
These people had to queue up to see Ling Yue. Naturally, they couldn't leave.
One could imagine how busy Ling Yue would be from this moment onwards.
Therefore, after the banquet ended, Ling Yue, Cui Lao, and Dong Qingshan had no choice but to stay in Pangu Seven Stars to wrap things up. Each of them directed a large group of people, and the three of them were extremely busy.
However, even though they were busy, they enjoyed it. After all, this was a situation that had never happened to the Ling Family in decades!
…
It was different from the morning when they went to the hotel. After the banquet ended, the number of people who returned to the Ling Family's ancestral mansion was so small that they could be counted on two hands.
Ling Lie, Ling Xiao, and Qing Niao were the first to return to the Ling Family because they were going through their Heavenly Tribulation at night.
After all, the banquet was just a matter of face. The most important thing was one's realm!
Then, it was Ling Yun, Cao Shanshan, Ling Xiu, and Ling Xue.
Then, it was Ling One, Ling Seven, Ling Jiu, and a few other death warriors of the Ling Family.
After Ling Yun returned to the Ling Family's ancestral mansion, he busied himself for a while.
The first thing he did was to set up the three large arrays and plant the Divine Ghost Willow. However, this time, Ling Yun didn't plant just one. Instead, he planted two Divine Ghost Willows in the fifth and sixth courtyards of the Ling Family's ancestral mansion.
"Boom!"
The moment the two Divine Ghost Willows were planted, the Ling Family's ancestral mansion was immediately filled with the life essence and Heaven and Earth Vapor released by the Divine Ghost Willow!
It was ten times more powerful than before!
This was because the Divine Ghost Willow that Ling Yun brought with him was simply too powerful. Its diameter was more than half a meter, and its branches were numerous. Its shade almost covered half the courtyard!
"Grandpa, Father, Aunt Qing."
After releasing the Divine Ghost Willow, Ling Yun immediately sent a message to the three of them. "You don't have to cultivate on your own. All of you, come under the Divine Ghost Willow and cultivate together."
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
The three of them instantly appeared beside Ling Yun.
Ling Lie actually smiled bitterly. "Yun Er, how can I cultivate like this? When you took out the Divine Ghost Willow, I almost couldn't suppress my realm and directly broke through."
Ling Lie did drink a lot today, but when he left the hotel, he had already forced all the alcohol out of his body.
Ling Xiao and Qing Niao also looked at each other and smiled bitterly. It was obvious that their situation was similar to Ling Lie's.
This was a blissful worry.
Ling Yun: "…"
He thought for a moment and smiled. "It's only five o 'clock now. We still have to wait at least four hours before we can go out for the tribulation. However, we can't idle during this period of time. Persevere a little longer and use spiritual energy to temper your body. After all, the most fundamental part of the tribulation is to use your physical body to resist the lightning tribulation!"
Ling Lie thought for a moment and sat down cross-legged. "Alright, we'll just temper our body then!"
Ling Xiao and Qing Niao naturally sat around the Divine Ghost Willow and began to temper their bodies.
"Boom!"
Ling Yun was still not satisfied. He waved his hand and released the Yin-Yang Five Elements Flame. It completely enveloped the three of them and tempered their bodies.
"Grandpa, Father, Aunt Qing, you guys cultivate like this first. I'll come and help you in three hours."
With that, Ling Yun left with a smirk and flew to the front yard.
The gifts that the Ling Family received today were piled up like a mountain!
At this time, Cao Shanshan, Ling Xiu, Ling Xue, and the rest were sorting the gifts that had piled up like a mountain with Ling Yi and Ling Qi.
"We don't have to bother about the gifts from the secular world for now. We just have to pick out the cultivation resources from the ancient martial arts world."
Ling Yun smiled.
Therefore, with Ling Yun's help, the group spent more than half an hour to pick out all the cultivation resources and put them away separately.
"Patriarch, how long do we have to use so many cultivation resources?"
Ling Qi looked at the sea of cultivation resources and rubbed his hands excitedly. He pretended to be troubled.
Ling Yun laughed. "You must think that our Ling Family has more cultivation resources than we can use up. However, when all of you enter the Qi Cultivation Realm, you'll know that these things are not enough."
Ling Yi mysteriously moved closer. "Family Head, can we, the death warriors, really enter the Qi Refining Realm?"
"It depends on who is faster. No matter who, as long as they enter the Qi Cultivation Realm, I'll forge a Natal Flying Sword for them …"
Hearing this, all the Ling Family's men of sacrifice were elated.
"Alright."
Ling Yun glanced at the backyard and said, "The life essence of our Ling Family is more than ten times stronger than before. Big Sister, Shanshan, Ling Yi, and the rest of you, take this time to cultivate."
After the three of them passed their tribulation, Ling Yun would leave again tomorrow. He would definitely bring the Ghost God Willow with him.
"Xue Er, come with me for a while."
After making the arrangements, he left Ling Xue alone and brought her to the conference room.
"Big Brother, what's the matter? Why are you being so secretive and telling me alone?"
Ling Xue stomped her feet anxiously. "I still need to cultivate!"
Ling Yun waved his hand and set up a small Divine Defense Formation. Then, he gestured for Ling Xue to sit down.
"Sister, I've been too busy since I came back, so I didn't tell you in advance. I announced that I'm going to save my mother today."
Ling Yun looked at Ling Xue solemnly. "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Ah!"
Ling Xue's beautiful eyes widened. "Big Brother, you called me here just to talk about this?"
Ling Yun was a little stunned by her reaction. "Yes."
Ling Xue rolled her eyes at Ling Yun. "Big Brother, you're so annoying. I've already told Dad that you have to bring me along when you go to save Auntie. Why are you asking me this now? I'm so angry!"
Ling Yun: "…"
"Auntie?"
Ling Xue smiled and nodded. "Yes! My mom told me to call her that. When I see Auntie, as long as she agrees, I can call her Mom. "
Ling Yun: "…"
That meant that he had worried for nothing.
"Uh, actually, Big Brother didn't call you here for this."
In order to hide his embarrassment, Ling Yun casually took out a flying sword and gave it to Ling Xue. "This is a supreme-grade spiritual weapon that already has its own sword spirit. After you take it, drip your blood on it to recognize its owner and nurture it daily. You can use it when you reach the Qi Cultivation Realm."
After all, she was his biological sister. Ling Yun used a supreme-grade spiritual weapon.
"Wow! Thank you, Big Brother! "
Ling Xue cheered excitedly. She took the flying sword and dripped her blood on it.
"What else do you want? As long as you say it, Big Brother will give it to you. "
Ling Xue smiled mischievously. "I don't want anything. I want to be like Big Brother, one step at a time. When the time comes, I'll accompany you to the Devil Sect to save Auntie!"
With that, Ling Xue winked at Ling Yun and disappeared in a flash.
Ling Yun smiled happily.
