News of what happened to Sky Mist Dynasty's Third Forefather, Zhong Fei, spread throughout the Yue Province in just a few days.
Because of this, the Yue Province outside of the Body Sect began to violently shake. After a thousand years, the You Family once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
Shangyou City, where the You Family was.
Even though it was broad daylight, the Conference Hall was still brightly lit, and it had been brightly lit for three days.
"I'm ashamed!"
You Peng hadn't slept for three days and three nights, but there wasn't a trace of exhaustion on his face. Instead, his face was rosy. Even though the words he said did not match his rosy face, no one was surprised.
When they recalled what they had said to Xie Tian in Heavenly Mist City, they were both excited and ashamed.
"Patriarch, what should we do?"
You Peng only managed to suppress the ecstasy in his heart after a long while. He smiled bitterly and said, "Ascending the summit of the Little Peak, escorting Chan 'er on the inheritance plank path, going against the flow of the White Mountain to save her, Wutian Cry in half a year, and obtaining the Mountain Breaking Command … What do you think we should do?"
Xie Tian's series of heaven-defying feats had already helped You Xiao Chan achieve her goal in coming to the Body Sect.
But at this point, the members of the You Family were dumbfounded.
Because they had never imagined that success would come so easily and so quickly.
They had never imagined that the person who would help You Xiao Chan complete all of this would be a deacon that the You Family had inadvertently recruited.
Of course, there was an even more important reason. Because of their hesitation and cowardice, Xie Tian had once expelled himself from the You Family. If they tried to curry favor with him now, they would lose all face!
"What are you still hesitating for?!" Finally, an upright elder cursed. "You've worked so hard and bled to help my You family, yet you're still being unreasonable over a bit of face? In these past thousand years, what face has my You family had?!"
Everyone's faces reddened. Someone weakly retorted, "You can't say that. If it weren't for my You family, Wu Lai wouldn't have been able to enter the Body Sect."
"Enough!" You Peng couldn't bear to listen any longer and shouted, "Hu Lai has given my You family a new lease on life. That is without a doubt. What we need to discuss now is how to repay him!"
Everyone looked at each other. From the beginning to the end, Hu Lai had been targeting You Xiao Chan. Was there even a need to say how to repay her?
"Family Head, Xiao Chan is eighteen this year and has reached the marriageable age."
"Furthermore, she and Hu Lai are in love with each other. They are a perfect match!"
"Why don't we let Hu Lai marry into the family?"
As soon as the words' marrying into the family 'were uttered, a few people spat on the spot. After spitting, they pointed at that person and started cursing.
"Let Hu Lai marry into the family, how shameless can you be?"
"Tell me, who among the four great aristocratic families and Sky Mist Dynasty has the right to marry such a person into their family?"
"Heh, if Xiayi had a daughter, he wouldn't dare to say that!"
You Peng felt a headache when faced with the twisted arrogance of his clansmen. He immediately spoke and made the final decision.
"From today onwards, you are not allowed to bring up the matter of marrying into the family. As for the matter between the two of them, we'll first ask Little Chan. However, I don't think there will be any problems, so the clan will also begin preparing for the marriage between the two of them."
"Here!"
Of course, the You Family's reaction wasn't limited to just this. Hu Tai and the other two were promoted to the position of top deacon. But the two of them weren't happy at all.
"Boss, this, does this count as Killing God saying that the situation is not right?"
Hearing Hu Pi's trembling voice, Hu Tai also felt a chill in his heart. "Oh my god, Death God's identity is mysterious, and he's still acting in such a high-profile manner. He's most likely preparing to expose himself!"
"Brother, listen to me. Pack up. Let's escape!"
The two of them moved quickly. As soon as they stepped out of the door, they saw several elders walking over with smiles on their faces.
"Your senior brother is about to marry Little Chan. My You Family will not favor one and discriminate against the other. You two can pick any woman of suitable age in the clan. You will get married today!"
The two of them were immediately dragged away by the elders. In just half a day, they were sent to the bridal chamber.
"Hu Lai is a sentimental person. I will definitely be satisfied to see my junior brothers get married!"
"Haha, what a clever move!"
The elders who had been ordered to eavesdrop were very conscientious. After listening for a while, they nodded in satisfaction and left silently.
At this time, Xie Tian also walked out of his room in the Wind Residence. He gathered his troops outside the residence and quietly waited for his orders.
He didn't care about the faint hostility from his subordinates.
He believed that even if the soldiers of the Death Camp were dissatisfied with him, they wouldn't disobey his orders. That was enough.
But he didn't expect that it was precisely his indifferent attitude that caused his subordinates to be even more dissatisfied.
"Captain Wuzhen, come here!"
Xie Tian accepted the order and left. His subordinates started to get excited.
"This Wuzhen used shameless methods to steal the opportunity of the Wind Palace. He cultivated in the Dao Palace for more than a year and even killed Yu Zheng!"
"He is only at the early stage of the Astral Fiend Realm. We have experienced the Life and Death Forbidden Zone and are at least at the late stage. Why should he be the captain?"
"Hmph, I'm pissed off just by looking at how calm he is!"
There were already several generals waiting in front of the eunuch.
Seeing the young soldier who didn't even have a single hair on his head come over, the generals had disdainful expressions, even though Xie Tian represented the Nine States' top army.
"Other than the Crown Prince, King Qin, King Zhao, and the princesses, there are also the young masters of the ten great clans. But the most important one is the young master of the Cloud State's Beast Taming School, Duanmu Qiu."
The Cloud State was the second largest state in the Nine States Great World. There were no dynasties, only the Beast Taming School and the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts ruled the Cloud State alone. After that, the Beast Taming School rose and became the leader of the Cloud State.
As such, the young master of the Beast Taming School, Duanmu Qiu's status was on par with the Crown Prince of the Jin Dynasty.
"Even though Duanmu Qiu is protected by powerful guards and there is no need to worry about his safety, you must not let them have the chance to attack. Kill all danger before it gets too close. Understand?"
"Yes!"
Then, the eunuch opened a map and started to discuss with the generals about the deployment of defense.
Xie Tian scanned the map and memorized it. Seeing that the eunuch didn't ask him anything, he stood to the side silently.
An hour later, everyone finished their discussion and the commanders left one by one. The eunuch then looked at Xie Tian and said with a smile, "Captain Wuzhen, your mission is the most special."
"Please tell me."
"The Autumn Hunt this time is very important. Your team of one hundred will be divided into three teams and follow the three princes." The eunuch's smile disappeared and he said in a dark voice, "Remember, no matter what the order is, you must obey."
Xie Tian's eyes narrowed. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Yes!"
The eunuch's words made Xie Tian slightly nervous. He returned to his team and immediately ordered, "Among you, the two strongest, step forward."
The ninety-nine people looked at each other and then separated. Two black-armored soldiers stepped forward.
"Gao Le, Peng Hu, listen to the order!"
Seeing that no one had any objections, Xie Tian said, "Everyone, split into three teams. Gao Le, Peng Hu, and I will each lead a team and follow the three princes. During the Autumn Hunt, we will listen to the orders of the princes."
"Yes!"
Everyone shouted in unison and automatically divided into three teams. Gao Le and Peng Hu looked at each other and smiled at Xie Tian. "Captain Wuzhen, how will our teams be divided?"
Among the Crown Prince, King Qin, and King Zhao, the most important one was definitely the Crown Prince, Shen Feng.
The two obviously wanted to fight to follow the Crown Prince. However, Xie Tian shook his head and said, "Both of you will follow King Qin and King Zhao. I will lead the team and follow the Crown Prince."
"Heh, Captain Wuzhen, you are too confident." The two sneered.
They would never go against a military order. However, they did not trust Xie Tian's strength and decisively objected.
Xie Tian frowned slightly. "Following the Crown Prince will mean a greater responsibility!"
"Captain Wuzhen, let's be honest. It is because of this that the two of us volunteered to follow the Crown Prince to protect the dignity of the death camp."
"That's true. Captain Wuzhen might have unfathomable means, but his cultivation level is a problem." Peng Hu smiled faintly and pointed at Gao Le. "Gao Le was previously a captain. I recommend Brother Le to follow the Crown Prince."
Xie Tian shook his head. "This Autumn Hunt is not a small matter. What if something goes wrong …"
The expressionless Gao Le interrupted with a faint smile. "We are all from the death camp. Of course, we will act according to the death camp's military rules. If I cannot complete the military order, I am willing to die."
"Captain Wuzhen, Brother Le has already given the military order. What else do you want?"
"Brother Le is an elite of the seventh camp. He has broken through the Life and Death Forbidden Zone and is already at the perfection stage of the Astral Fiend Realm. He has killed at least a thousand Four-Armed Rakshasa. Hehe, even if his talent is not as good as yours, his combat strength is not weak."
"Brother Le is only thinking about the death camp. He does not want to fight with you. After all, you are a captain. The credit for this mission is mostly yours."
Everyone spoke up one after another. Xie Tian frowned and sized up Gao Le seriously. He then nodded and instructed, "Inform me immediately if you are not capable enough. Understand?"
Gao Le smiled indifferently. "Don't worry, Captain Wuzhen. I, Gao Le, will not embarrass the death camp."
Right at this moment, the doors of the Feng Residence opened. A eunuch screamed and lifted the curtains of the Autumn Hunt.
"Your Highness, please proceed!"
Tianqi Divine Palace, Imperial Study.
Shenshao stood by the window while Mo Shaocong softly read the long summary of the memorials in his hand.
Seeing the long line of people moving in front of the Feng Residence, Shenshao couldn't help but look to the west.
The west was where the Cloud Province was located.
Over there, the world's number two expert, Duanmu Qiu's father, Cloud Province's Beast Taming School's Sect Master, Duanmu Xiao 'er, was there.
"Duanmu Xiao 'er, you also sensed the great danger? The Dao Palace is about to make a move, right?"
Sighing, Shenshao calmed his emotions and was about to return to the throne. Unexpectedly, what Mo Shaocong was reading made him pause.
"The Physique Sect's Mountain Breaking Order has appeared. A young prodigy has soared to the sky. His name is Hu Lai!"
