The Kou Clan's overall strength was the weakest among the several large clans that controlled the God Realm. This marriage alliance with Family Jiang was of utmost importance to the Kou Clan.
The Kou Family attached great importance to this marriage, so even though the verbal proposal had already been approved by the Jiang Family's Patriarch, Jiang Shengye, they still had to go through the motions of the proposal. Moreover, they had to go through the motions in a dignified manner to fully demonstrate their sincerity.
Although the Family Jiang had suffered a great loss in the Night Demons' invasion, and even their God Emperor Great Elder had died in battle, along with many God King experts, their overall strength was still in the top three among the large clans in the God Realm. They were much stronger than the Kou Clan. However, the Family Jiang still needed a long time to recover. After all, the Family Jiang had borrowed a lot of divine stones from the Kou Clan. In many people's eyes, the marriage alliance between the Kou Clan and the Family Jiang wouldn't be too big of a problem.
The Kou Clan's marriage alliance had brought along many valuable treasures and large amounts of divine crystals. The Kou Clan's Patriarch had even publicly announced that the huge amount of divine stones they had lent to the Family Jiang to defend against the Night Demons' invasion was also considered a betrothal gift.
In fact, the Kou Clan's Patriarch's decision to consider the amount of divine stones lent to the Family Jiang as a betrothal gift seemed forthright and generous, but in reality, it was all part of the Kou Clan's Patriarch's scheme.
It was common knowledge that rejecting a marriage proposal meant that one couldn't accept the betrothal gift. If the Family Jiang rejected the Kou Clan's public proposal, then not only would the Family Jiang be unable to accept the betrothal gift, they would also have to immediately repay the amount of divine stones they had borrowed.
In order to defend against the Night Demons' invasion, the Family Jiang had already exhausted all of their resources. They didn't even have enough divine stones to repay the Kou Clan's debt. Where would they find such a large amount of divine stones to repay the Kou Clan's debt in such a short time?
As such, the Kou Clan's marriage alliance was practically set in stone.
When Xiao Lingyu heard the news, he frowned and wondered whether the Kou Clan would marry Jiang Lanyue or Jiang Lanchang.
"Boss Xiao, the Kou Clan's marriage alliance's route may not pass by our base, but it's not too far away. I think it's better for us to retreat. According to the City Lord of Du City, there should be a God Emperor in the Kou Clan's marriage alliance. Furthermore, the City Lord of Du City is very dissatisfied with the Hua Men's base. If he managed to convince the God Emperor from the Kou Clan, the Kou Clan God Emperor might come to our base... "Guan Yiwei reminded reminded Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Xiao Lingyu rubbed his chin, he rubbed his chin, "Retreat? We Clan's Sect's Retreat. . Clan's Clan's Clan's Clan's..........'s Family Clan's's... ''s Clan's's................ Clan Clan's to's.
Although Guan Yiwei was intelligent, he was still confused by Xiao Lingyu's words. He asked in surprise, "Why is that?"
. "Xiao Lingyu said casually," I've just made some progress in my cultivation. I want to find a God Emperor to practice with. "
Guan Yiwei was even more surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He left the Hua Men's base and went to Du City.
Xiao Lingyu naturally wasn't in a hurry to find a God Emperor to practice with. He wanted the Kou Clan's experts to come and cause trouble so that he could take the opportunity to ruin the Kou Clan's marriage alliance.
Naturally, he couldn't openly tell others about his thoughts.
From Xiao Lingyu's point of view, if the Family Jiang really wanted to marry a daughter, he would definitely marry Jiang Lanyue, who looked more mature. Jiang Lanchang looked like a little girl who hadn't fully matured yet. The Family Jiang probably wouldn't let her get married now.
After Guan Yiwei left, Xiao Lingyu suddenly remembered that Jiang Lanyue had said that her father wouldn't engage in political marriages. He wouldn't use her and her sister's happiness as a bargaining chip. She and her sister would never marry someone they didn't like. But Jiang Shengye had clearly verbally agreed to the Kou Clan's marriage alliance ….
As he thought about it, he remembered that Jiang Lanyue insisted that he come to the Changle Region instead of the other regions. He felt that there might be some connection between the two.
'Could it be that Jiang Shengye and Jiang Lanyue purposely made me come to the Changle Region and believe that I can ruin the Kou Clan's marriage alliance?'
'That shouldn't be the case, right? Even if Jiang Shengye knows that I have some feelings for Jiang Lanyue, why would he believe that I can ruin the Kou Clan's marriage alliance? Why would he believe that I can fight against a God Emperor? Just because I can kill their Family Jiang's Divine King? '
The more Xiao Lingyu thought about it, the more he felt that something was fishy. But he couldn't figure it out.
He was in the early stage of the Chaotic and Void Phase, so he was full of doubts about everything. He would often see the truth as the lies, and the lies as the truth. This was a characteristic of his realm. It had both advantages and disadvantages.
But no matter what, he was determined to not let the Kou Clan's marriage alliance team enter Yong An.
As long as the marriage alliance team entered Yong An, the Kou Clan would have a reason to push the blame to the Family Jiang if anything happened. And the Family Jiang would definitely protect the marriage alliance team on the surface.
A month later, the Kou Clan's marriage alliance team successfully arrived at Du Hu City. They were welcomed into Du Hu City by the Du Hu City's City Lord Manor.
Du Hu City was the last city in the Changle Region's route. Thus, the Kou Clan's marriage alliance team would stay in the city for a few more days.
During a banquet one night, the Kou Clan's God Emperor asked out of habit, "Has Du Hu City always been peaceful?"
It wasn't that this Kou Clan's God Emperor cared about Du Hu City. Instead, he would ask the city lord the same question every time he stopped in a city.
"It used to be peaceful. But something happened recently," Du Hu City's City Lord replied.
"Oh? What happened? Tell me. Du Hu City is the northeastern border of our Changle Region. If something happens here, I won't sit by and do nothing, "the God Emperor said solemnly.
"There is a powerful force called the Hua Men. They have built their base at the edge of the Floating Xu Mountain Range. Many of them are bandits. They threaten the safety of passersby and obstruct the route between our Changle Region and Yong An. Furthermore, the marriage alliance team led by Sir will pass by their base," Du Hu City's City Lord said with a worried expression.
"Then why don't we eliminate them?" The Kou Clan's God Emperor asked.
"The Hua Men aren't weak. There are many Godly King Stage monsters guarding their sect. Their sect master is also known to be invincible under the God Emperor Stage. Du Hu City is only a mid-grade city. We don't have enough troops to eliminate them. The leader of the Hua Men cultivated in Du Hu City for a period of time. During that time, he had conflicts with many clans in Du Hu City. When he returned this time, he said that he would sooner or later wash Du Hu City with blood, "Du Hu City's City Lord said with difficulty.
"How arrogant!" The Kou Clan's God Emperor slammed the table angrily.
After the banquet, another late-stage Godly King Stage expert requested to see the Kou Clan's God Emperor. This late-stage Godly King Stage expert was from the Meng Family of Changle Region. He presented a large gift and asked the Kou Clan's God Emperor to eliminate the Hua Men.
The Kou Clan's marriage alliance team rested in Du Hu City for a month. Then, they followed the river and headed towards the Floating Xu Mountain Range.
Originally, the marriage alliance team had been moving with great fanfare. However, after leaving Du Hu City, they kept a low profile. The ninety-nine Godly King Stage experts didn't use their skills to create fireworks. The entire team didn't play any festive music. Instead, they carried a chilling aura.
Almost all of the slightly larger clans and powers in the city had sent quite a number of experts to escort this group of people. The entire group was majestic, like a long dragon.
In just half a month, the Kou Clan's marriage alliance team had sped up and arrived at the edge of the Floating Xu Mountain Range.
Originally, the marriage alliance team was going to cross the Floating Xu Mountain Range along the river. However, they suddenly stopped outside the Floating Xu Mountain Range and pretended to rest.
However, after an hour, the Kou Family's God Emperor and most of the God King Stage experts in the team flew towards the left side of the group.
The Hua Men's camp was less than ten thousand miles away from the river. This distance was nothing to the Godly Kings and Godly Emperors. In less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea, they arrived at the entrance of the Hua Men's camp.
Xiao Lingyu, who was meditating in the depths of the camp, opened his eyes and smiled.
Xiao Lingyu had just walked out of the secret room to the open space when the old woman appeared beside him.
Xiao Lingyu wasn't surprised by the old lady's appearance. He knew that the old lady had been watching him and the Hua Men.
"You seem to have gotten yourself into big trouble," the old lady said calmly.
"I didn't provoke them. They came to me on purpose," Xiao Lingyu said with a shrug.
"I don't care what you do, but I must warn you. Don't let any harm come to my children," the old lady said.
"It's easy to prevent them from getting hurt. You can deal with them as easily as cutting vegetables," Xiao Lingyu said.
"Hmph, don't think that I will do anything. The Sheng Deity has an agreement that we can't do anything to these big families. The Kou Clan is able to control the Everlasting Joy Realm because they have the support of the Sheng Deity."
The old woman snorted coldly as she finished speaking. Then, her body disappeared.
"Master of the Hua Men, come out and die!"
The Kou Clan's God Emperor glanced at the Hua Men's camp and shouted.
Even if it was just a shout from a God Emperor, it was still very powerful. Not only did the Hua Men's camp tremble, but the nearby mountains also shook.
The cultivators in the Magnificent Gate's encampment all turned pale with fright and fear.
The fifteen black Divine Pigs were sleeping soundly. They were obviously unhappy when they were woken up by the shout. They flapped their wings and flew up, howling angrily at the Kou Clan's experts.
Xiao Lingyu also flew into the air with a smile on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Welcome, Sir Special Envoy. How have I offended Sir Special Envoy to the extent that Sir Special Envoy wants me to come down and die?"
The Kou Clan's God Emperor was nominally the Kou Clan's special envoy.
"You Hua Men have gathered bandits and committed all kinds of crimes. How dare you ask me how you have offended me? You should stick out your neck and accept your death!"
