After Yi Yin left, Qi discussed matters with the You Song Clan before quietly departing Shang Land for the various tribes he had planned to visit.
Before Qi set out, Jin Yu had already departed ahead of him.
As Kunpeng's disciple, he was acquainted with people from all the races involved in those mixed-blood clan marriage alliances.
Jin Yu did not reveal Kong Xuan's identity. He merely discussed the matter with people he knew among the various races.
Most of them were originally Blood Sea forces, while of the remaining three, one was the race into which he had been born.
The other two had received favors from the Blood Sea, so they naturally agreed to his request without hesitation.
They contacted their clansmen who had marriage ties with the Human Race and established connections with the tribal leaders, negotiating the marriage alliances on Qi's behalf.
Because of their long-standing marriage alliances, the relationships between those tribes and these races remained quite close.
Although they did not know why they were mobilizing for an obscure person like Qi, he was ultimately only a common lord.
As long as Qi was not too incompetent, they were prepared to agree outright.
Thus, after Jin Yu's arrangements, when Qi arrived at the various tribes, he only needed to display a little of his talent.
Without even revealing his identity as a sage, he brought the beautiful brides of the various tribes home.
Moreover, they honored their agreement with Jin Yu and did not publicize the marriage alliances with any fanfare.
This delayed the discovery of Qi's identity as much as possible, buying more time for Qi and the Shang Kingdom.
After Qi took his wives, the You Song Clan immediately announced his abdication and passed the position of Marquis of Shang to Qi.
