The Yang Clan held a new Clan Leader Ascension Ceremony.
Originally, the Yang Clan wanted to keep a low profile and just change the Clan Leader to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After all, Yang Qing Xing's departure was not honorable. If they held a grand ceremony for a new Clan Leader, they would be laughed at by others.
Moreover, the change of Clan Leader this time was very sudden. Many people were not prepared for it. Thinking of the Xing Clan's sudden attack on the Yang Clan, whether it was their own clansmen or subsidiary forces, it was inevitable that they would have other thoughts.
However, the Yang Clan's Great Grandmother announced that this Clan Leader Ascension Ceremony must be held grandly. Others did not know what she was planning, but they had to follow her orders. She was the Yang Clan's stabilizing force.
Therefore, the Yang Clan's new Clan Leader Ascension Ceremony was held on a grand scale. They even sent invitations to the other seven Battle Clans, inviting them to attend the ceremony.
Eight hundred years ago, when Yang Qing Xing ascended the throne, the Yang Clan did not invite the other seven Battle Clans to attend the ceremony. This time, the Yang Clan actually did so. Obviously, they had made sufficient preparations.
It was an auspicious day. Everything was going well.
The day of the new Clan Leader Ascension Ceremony had arrived.
Hundreds of flowers bloomed in the Yang Clan's territory. Thousands of bells rang in unison. Auspicious clouds filled the sky. Strands of multicolored light descended. The declining Yang Clan was filled with vitality.
The Yang Clan's inner and outer courtyard was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. The atmosphere was jubilant.
Many forces gathered in front of the Yang Clan's outer courtyard. Most of them were subsidiary forces of the Yang Clan City. They were here to present gifts. There were also some small forces not far from the Yang Clan City who came to congratulate. It was a lively scene.
No matter how declining the Yang Clan was, there were still dozens of forces that came. However, there were only a dozen forces that could enter the Yang Clan's territory. Most of them were loyal supporters of the Yang Clan. There were also some representatives of second and third rate forces. There were no first rate forces that came.
"Is the Battle Clan's Yang Clan declining just like that? Only so few people came for the new Clan Leader Ascension Ceremony. How embarrassing. "
"Brother, lower your voice. This is the Yang Clan City. No matter how declining it is, it is not a place that others can easily provoke."
"Back in the day, when the Yang Wu Family was still in power, as long as the Yang Family had a joyous occasion, all the major forces would come to congratulate them. There were countless first-rate forces, and even more second-rate and third-rate forces. But now, only second-rate and third-rate forces have come to congratulate them, and there are so few of them. The world has truly changed!"
"Rumor has it that some time ago, the Yang Family was almost annihilated. The original Patriarch may have already fallen, so a new Patriarch is needed."
"Hehe, you guys don't know this, but the Yang family actually still has a great-grandmother who isn't dead yet. She's already at the Immortal Ascension level. With her holding the fort, the Yang family won't disappear."
…
Compared to the past, the Yang Family was in decline. Whether it was the Yang Family or the people outside the Yang Family, they all thought so.
Suddenly, a resounding voice rang out from the outer courtyard of the Yang Family, "Mount Heng School has arrived to congratulate you!"
This voice instantly caused thousands of ripples, covering all the voices in all directions. The people who were discussing spiritedly just now all shut their mouths.
Mount Heng School was a first-rate force. They and the other four sword schools were collectively known as the Five Mountain School. They were a major force, the top force in the Transcendent World. For them to send people to congratulate, whether it was on their own behalf or on behalf of the Five Mountain School, the significance was extraordinary.
Not long after this voice fell, another resounding voice rang out, "Battle Race's Li Family has arrived to congratulate you!"
"Battle Race's Qin Family has arrived to congratulate you!"
"Battle Race's Sun Family has arrived to congratulate you!"
…
Of the Eight Great Battle Races, three had come. This was something that no one expected.
Among the three great families, the Li family and the Yang family had a good relationship, so it was expected that they would send people to congratulate them. The Yang family, the Qin family, and the Sun family had an average relationship, so it was unexpected that they would send people to congratulate them.
No one knew why the other two Battle Races had suddenly come.
Eight hundred years ago, when Yang Qing Yuan was the Patriarch, not a single Battle Race had come to congratulate him.
Could it be that the Yang Family's luck had changed?
When the news spread, some of the small and medium-sized forces that had not yet arrived rushed over with gifts. No matter what, they had to find out why these Battle Races had come.
For a time, the outer courtyard of the Yang Family became much livelier.
In the inner courtyard of the Yang Family, in front of a large plaza, there were one to two hundred Yang Family disciples standing in formation, welcoming the representatives who had arrived.
These one to two hundred people were the younger generation of the Yang Family. Most of them were at the Earth Sea Realm, and a few dozen were at the Heavenly Fish Realm. They represented the future of the Yang Family.
If it was the Yang Family at its peak, there would be at least several thousand people standing in the plaza to welcome guests. It would be more than ten times grander than now.
In front of the plaza, Yang Jinghai and a group of Sacred Elders and Clan Elders sat in front of a raised platform, welcoming the guests.
At first, their expressions were not too good. The people who had come were the representatives of their subordinate forces. However, the gifts these representatives brought were extremely shabby, without any sincerity at all. From this, it could be seen that these subordinate forces did not put the Yang Family in their eyes.
When Shu Yujun and Wang Yuyang arrived as representatives of the Heng Mountain Faction, the Sacred Elders and Clan Elders of the Yang Family had a look of joy on their faces. They thought to themselves, "Finally, a heavyweight force has come."
Many people did not know why the Heng Mountain Faction had come. Their Yang Family did not seem to have sent them an invitation.
The new Patriarch, Yang Jinghai, knew what was going on. He had a better impression of that brat in his heart.
With the arrival of the other three Battle Races, the Sacred Elders and Clan Elders of the Yang Family looked much better. However, their expressions quickly became gloomy again.
These three Great Clans did not seem to have come with sincerity. The gifts they brought were even more shabby than those of their own forces.
However, today was a joyous day. The other party was a guest, so they could not fall out with them.
After half a day, the representatives of all the forces had arrived. Just as they were about to announce the start of the auspicious time, a voice rang out, "The Xing Family has come to congratulate!"
The Xing Family and the Yang Family were mortal enemies. The Xing Family actually sent people to congratulate them. Everyone present was shocked.
An impulsive Clan Elder shouted, "Tell them to scram!"
Yang Jinghai waved his hand and said, "Those who come are guests. Moreover, they are people of our Battle Race Realm. Let them in."
Today, Yang Jinghai was dressed very grandly. He wore a navy blue robe with a Black Tortoise embroidered on the back. His hair was tied with a Saint Grade Golden Red Silk Ribbon. His waist was tied with a top grade Blue Jade Belt. He wore a pair of Saint Grade Boots. He was in high spirits and emitted a noble aura. He was already infinitely close to the Star Rune Realm.
According to the Yang Family's rules, those who did not reach the Star Rune Realm were not allowed to become the Patriarch. However, no one in the Yang Family had broken through to the Star Rune Realm in the past two hundred years. Yang Jinghai was the one with the most hope of breaking through. Moreover, his prestige was high. He deserved to be the Patriarch.
Those who objected all shut up when the Yang Family's Great Grandmother spoke.
There were a total of five people from the Xing Family. None of them were at the Saint Realm. They swaggered over as if this was their home.
They handed over a gift. When the elder in charge of checking the gift saw the gift, he suddenly cried out, "Xing Family, you bastards!"
Everyone was attracted by the voice. What gift did the Xing Family give to make the elder lose his composure?
Everyone looked in that direction and saw two large human heads poking out of the box.
The blood on the two heads had not completely dried. It was obvious that they had died not long ago.
"This … This is Clan Elder Fifteen and Clan Elder Sixteen. Were they killed by the Xing Family?"
"Bastards, Xing Family, are you courting death?"
"The Xing Family came to provoke us. We cannot let them leave here alive."
"They are going to shed all pretenses. Do they really think that our Yang Family is easy to bully? Kill them."
…
Seeing the two bloody heads, even Yang Jinghai, who was about to ascend to the throne, was infuriated. He shouted at the leader of the Xing Family, "Xing Ranqi, how dare you kill our Yang Family's Clan Elders? Are you courting death?"
Everyone from the Yang Family glared at the Xing Family. They wanted to cut them into pieces.
The leader of the Xing Family, Xing Ranqi, was a man in his early forties. He looked at Yang Jinghai calmly and smiled, "Yang Jinghai, don't jump to conclusions. We are sending them back to the Yang Family to be buried. We did not kill them. If you think it's bad luck, we can take the heads away."
"You did not kill them? Are you lying to a three-year-old?" Yang Jinghai replied coldly.
Today was his ascension to the throne. Indeed, the Xing Family did not come with good intentions.
"You can ask your Yang Family's Saint to come and see how they died. Don't accuse innocent people. We are sincerely here to congratulate you on your ascension to the throne," Xing Ranqi said innocently.
Everyone could see that he was taking pleasure in Yang Jinghai's misfortune.
Another person from the Xing Clan said, "That's right. Hurry up and send a Saint to verify that they really weren't killed by us. We just happened to see them in danger and it was too late to save them. We didn't manage to preserve their corpses, only their heads."
At this time, Yang Liuxi had already arrived in front of the two heads. He forced out a drop of essence blood from his fingertip and placed it in front of the two heads. He quickly formed a seal and shouted, "Reconstruct the past!"
Celestial Rune Saints possessed incredible abilities, but not everyone could touch upon the Dao of Time. Yang Liuxi didn't understand the Dao of Time, but he could use his blood essence to trace some scenes that happened not long ago in the past of his clansmen.
Suddenly, he saw an evil demon appear and kill the two Yang Family Elders. They were not killed by the Xing Family, but he could not find out if the evil demon was related to the Xing Family.
In the past few hundred years, the evil demons had been forced to return to the Demon Realm. They did not dare to casually come to the War Clan Realm. For an evil demon to suddenly appear and kill the Yang Family Elders, this was definitely premeditated.
"Your Xing Family is really good!" Yang Liuxi shouted at the Xing Family members.
"You flatter us!" Xing Ranqi smiled and cupped his hands.
