"The Cloud Sea Holy Sect?"
Chen Xiao's brows twitched as he pondered, "Is it related to the Cloud Sea Empire?"
Over the past few days, he had gained a basic understanding of the Cloud Sea Empire's power structure.
At the top of the empire were the ten aristocratic families, such as the Lin family and the Ye family.
The ten aristocratic families were intertwined and stood at the pinnacle of the empire. For thousands of years, no one had been able to replace them.
More than half of the empire's resources and powerhouses were in the hands of the ten aristocratic families.
Below the top ten were first-rate powers like the Chu Clan.
There were obviously more first-rate forces, and they were more widely distributed. Some first-rate forces' headquarters were not even on the Cloud Sea Mother Planet, but on other planets in the galaxy.
As for the second-rate and third-rate forces, there were as many of them as the stars in the sky, and it was difficult to count them all.
But as early as that time, Chen Xiao already had doubts —
If the Cloud Sea Empire was called an empire, then where was the imperial family?
On the surface, the ten aristocratic families controlled the empire together.
The Ten Great Families jointly controlled the empire. Although there were differences in strength, their positions were similar, and there was no obvious relationship between them!
"It is indeed related to the Cloud Sea Empire."
Chu Yuanfeng nodded, his expression solemn, "The Cloud Sea Empire, the Cloud Sea Planet, and the Cloud Sea Galaxy are called the Cloud Sea because of the Cloud Sea Holy Sect!
"However, the Cloud Sea Holy Sect has a high status, and it usually does not care about the secular world. It rarely interferes with worldly affairs, so not many people know about it."
Chen Xiao suddenly understood.
He had seen far too many similar situations on the Shenwu Continent.
Whether it was a country submitting to a sect, or a sect submitting to a country, it was very common on Shenwu Continent.
In the world of martial arts, the strong were respected!
Seeing that Chen Xiao was not surprised, Chu Yuanfeng continued.
"Normally, the Cloud Sea Holy Sect will open once every hundred years. At that time, a Divine Envoy will descend and select the geniuses of the current generation. Once chosen by the Divine Envoy, it will be like a fish leaping through the dragon gate, swallowing a dragon! "
Even though he was the head of the Chu family, he was still full of envy when he talked about this.
The Cloud Sea Holy Sect's selection was limited to those under thirty, and he had long passed that age.
"What does this have to do with the Lin Family?" Chen Xiao asked again.
"In reality, even if I'm chosen by the envoy and enter the Cloud Sea Sacred Sect, I'll only be an ordinary disciple. Be it the ten great families or the common people, they are all treated equally. "
At this point, Chu Yuanfeng took a deep breath and a blue token appeared in his palm.
On the token, there was the word 'Holy', and it was surrounded by a sea of clouds and mountains.
"A hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Chu family, Chu Kuangren, was a disciple of the Sage Sect. He fought against the Black Beast Rampage and died of exhaustion. Later on, the Sage Sect recognized his contributions and conferred upon the Chu family the title of Meritorious Clan. They were also given a Sage Badge!"
As long as one held the holy badge, regardless of talent, cultivation, or identity, the Sage Sect would accept him as a disciple!
"Glory Sect disciples are divided into ordinary, elite, true disciples, and personal disciples. To be able to become a true disciple right from the start, how tempting is that? If used well, it is enough to ensure the prosperity of the clan for a hundred years! "
By this time, Chen Xiao had completely understood.
What the Lin family had been coveting was the holy badge in the Chu family's hands!
"And now, the hundred years are almost up. The Lin family failed to get the holy badge and suffered heavy losses in the City Amongst the Clouds. They won't let this go so easily."
Chu Yuanfeng shook his head, a bitter smile on his face.
Even if they managed to repel the first wave of attacks, it was not hard to imagine that the next wave would be even fiercer!
By then, it was still unknown whether the Chu family would be able to withstand it.
"So?"
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile.
Chu Yuanfeng gritted his teeth and said, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Chen, I would like to give you the holy badge and move the entire Chu family away from the Lin family."
At this point.
If they continued to stay in the City Amongst the Clouds, they would only become a target for the Lin family.
"Oh? Then why don't you leave the holy badge behind and wait for the Cloud Sea Sacred Sect to come and let the Chu family become true disciples? "
"I would like to do that, but the Lin family might not give me the chance. If the Chu family can't wait for the arrival of the Sage Sect, what's the point of having the holy badge?"
Chu Yuanfeng suddenly stood up and bowed to Chen Xiao with the holy badge in his hand.
"Mr. Chen, I am willing to give you this holy badge in exchange for protecting the Chu family during the migration!"
At that moment, the air froze and the atmosphere was extremely quiet.
Even though he had taken out the holy badge, Chu Yuanfeng was still nervous, afraid that Chen Xiao would reject him.
Because once he accepted the holy badge, it would mean that he would have to go against the Lin family!
Anyone with a bit of rationality would not make such a choice.
Chen Xiao had every reason to reject.
"The Cloud Sea Sacred Sect? That's interesting. I'll accept this holy badge then. "
After some time, Chen Xiao finally spoke. Chu Yuanfeng let out a long sigh of relief.
Once again, he bowed deeply to Chen Xiao, his voice incomparably sincere.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for helping me!"
…
At the same time, Chu Yuanfeng came to greet Chen Xiao.
The other Chu family members were also busy.
Even though it was an emergency migration, the corresponding preparation work was still not a small project.
"It's all that Chen Xiao's fault. If he didn't cripple the Lin family's third young master, how would the Lin family be angry?"
"In my opinion, this guy is a jinx! Once he came to the Chu family, countless troubles came one after another, and he even forced us to leave our homes! "
"Shh, lower your voice, Miss is coming!"
Looking at the few Chu family members who were whispering to each other, Chu Wanqing could not help but shake her head and let out a silent sigh.
When the news of the migration came out, the Chu family members had mixed reactions.
The Chu family's higher-ups naturally supported it unconditionally, but the other branch families were quite dissatisfied with it.
From their point of view …
Even if they continued to stay in the City Amongst the Clouds, with the Lin family's pride, they would not do anything to the branch families.
But they were still the Chu family, and their status in the City Amongst the Clouds was high, and they could still live the same luxurious life as before.
"The trouble caused by the direct descendants should be solved by the direct descendants!"
Before this, some of the branch families had expressed that they would never abandon the City Amongst the Clouds.
"Forget it, life and death are fated. If they don't want to leave, no one can take them away."
Just as Chu Wanqing was shaking her head, a series of violent explosions suddenly came from the front door of the Chu residence.
Rumble!
Following the explosion of the violent wind and heat waves, a few extremely arrogant voices sounded one after another.
"Where are the Chu family members? Quickly come and accept your death! "
"I've been short of money recently, so I'll kill a few Chu family members to exchange for some pocket money!"
A few burly men in armor stood in front of the Chu family's door, looking like they were sizing up their prey. Their eyes swept across the surrounding Chu family members.
One of them, with red hair and one eye, grinned hideously.
"Which one of you is more valuable?"
