The group of four slowly walked into the large hall. In an instant, the large hall turned silent. It could be said that everyone was waiting for the meeting of the three magnates. This time, the Xue Family had made such a big fuss. It was obvious that they wanted to dominate the entire Ci Province. Naturally, the Du and Shi Families, who were also part of the three magnates, would be annexed. Therefore, many people were waiting for the two families to express their stance. From the looks of it, the two families did not prepare any lavish gifts, and some people understood in their hearts.
It would be difficult for the Xue Family to dominate the Ci Province!
Xue Yu was slightly taken aback when he saw that there were only four people. His gaze inadvertently swept across Feng Hao and Hua Yuntian as a faint smile appeared on his face.
Du Feng and Shi Zhen's expressions were similar. They smiled at each other and walked towards Xue Yu.
Xue Yu's eyelids twitched when he saw the relaxed smiles on their faces. He felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what it was. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
He didn't think that the Du and Shi Families would be able to stir up any waves. As for Fenghao, even though he was an alchemist, a high tier yellow class alchemist wasn't enough to make him feel apprehensive. As for Hua Yuntian, this old man gave him a familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Haha, congratulations, Patriarch Xue Yu. I heard that your son is getting married. Brother Du Feng and I have come to take a look."
Shi Zhen also cupped his hands towards Xue Yu with a fake smile. There was not a trace of respect in his words. It was purely a teasing tone. This caused the smile on Xue Yu's face to disappear as his gaze turned cold.
"That's right. It's a pity that our two families are too poor and we can't take out anything decent. This is a little rude. I hope that Patriarch Xue Yu can be magnanimous and not be calculative with us."
Du Feng also pretended to sigh softly. His words made it clear that the Xue Family's domination had made it impossible for others to survive.
"Hehe, it's already my honor to have the two of you here."
Xue Yu forced a smile and exchanged a few words with Du Feng and Shi Zhen with a smile that did not reach his eyes. Looking at their backs, his gaze became extremely cold.
"Wait!"
Feng Hao picked up the cup and sniffed it. He narrowed his eyes and chuckled. "There's poison in this wine. You can't drink it!"
"What?"
The arms of the three of them trembled. Very quickly, their expressions returned to normal. However, they placed their wine cups on the table and whispered to each other.
Following that, a large number of influential leaders from the various cities of the Cz Prefecture arrived one after another. In a short period of time, seventy to eighty percent of the Cz Prefecture's factions had gathered in this lively hall. It was truly a rare event.
The smile on Xue Yu's face grew wider and wider as he gazed at the hall that was filled with distinguished guests. In the entire Ci Province, other than his Xue Clan, there was no other clan that possessed such rallying power.
Furthermore, as he watched them drink to their hearts' content, the smile on the corner of his mouth grew even wider. Sweeping his gaze across the hall, he saw Du Feng, Shi Zhen, and Du Feng chatting happily. The wine cups on the table did not seem to have been touched at all. In an instant, the smile on his face froze and a fierce glint flickered in his eyes. Just as he stood up, a clamor was heard, causing him to sit back down.
"The auspicious time has arrived. Let's welcome the newcomers!"
After the shouting, a wave of firecrackers sounded. A white-haired old man with a rosy complexion was invited out and sat beside Xue Yu. Xue Hong and Xue Lan were also seated high up. Their postures were sufficient, as if they were receiving tributes. Although there were many people below who were dissatisfied, no one dared to say anything at this moment.
"These two should be the other two Martial Spirit experts that the Xue Family has hidden, right?"
Hua Yuntian's gaze swept across Xue Hong and Xue Lan as he indifferently asked.
"Yes."
Du Feng slightly nodded his head. Tilting his head to look at Hua Yuntian, he asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
"What do we plan to do?"
The corner of Hua Yuntian's mouth twitched. With his hands in his sleeves, his gaze was like a poisonous snake as he closely stared at Xue Yu and the others. After taking a glance at Feng Hao beside him, he knitted his brows together. "Let's wait for a while."
"What an unlucky old fellow. A calamity has arrived, yet he still doesn't know about it."
Hearing this, Du Feng and Shi Zhen both nodded their heads. In their hearts, they silently mourned for Xue Yu, who had a face full of success, for a few seconds.
At this moment, a couple in fiery-red clothes slowly walked into the hall, surrounded by a group of people. Along the way, there were flower girls scattering flowers. It was extremely luxurious.
Xue Hun's face was full of joy as he occasionally waved his hand to greet those who greeted him. Beside him, not only was the bride expressionless, she was even supported by her bridesmaid as she walked. This made it clear to those with a discerning eye that this girl was being forced. However, in order to curry favor with the Xue Family, some of the forces were still full of flattery.
"Humph!"
Hua Yuntian coldly looked at these people's performance as a trace of sharpness flashed across his eyes. Du Feng and Shi Zhen also sneered.
"Old Hua!"
Through the red gauze, Feng Hao's heart trembled as he softly called out to the pretty and lifeless face.
"Yes."
Hua Yuntian softly responded and nodded towards Du Feng and Shi Zhen. The two looked at each other and without any hesitation, they straightened their bodies and blocked the path of the newlyweds.
The two's sudden actions instantly caused the atmosphere in the hall to become strange. Every pair of eyes looked towards Xue Yu, who was sitting on the high seat.
"Du Feng, Shi Zhen, what are the two of you doing?!"
Xue Yu's face was ashen as he stood up with a swoosh and coldly asked.
Xue Hong and Xue Lan also stood up. Their eyes flickered with coldness as they locked onto Du Feng and Shi Zhen. As long as Xue Yu gave the order, they would launch a thunderous attack.
"Patriarch Xue Yu, please don't misunderstand. We don't have any other intentions."
Shi Zhen still had a nonchalant look on his face. "The marriage can still go ahead, but the bride needs to be changed. After all, it's not good to forcefully snatch one."
His words caused the hearts of practically everyone in the hall to tremble. Unknowingly, they all took a small step back.
"Shi Zhen!"
Xue Yu roared. His beard trembled and the robes on his body puffed up. "You're courting death!"
"Patriarch Xue Yu!"
Du Feng loudly interrupted. "Patriarch Shi Zhen is not courting death. He's just reminding you!"
At the mention of this, he could not help but sneer in his heart. If the Xue Family did not provoke this girl, they would still be able to sleep peacefully. What a pity. As he thought of this, he could not help but look at Xue Yu with some misgivings.
The great Xue Family had been annihilated because of this small negligence. At the same time, alarm bells rang in his heart. Some seemingly ordinary people were not so easy to provoke!
