There Would Be a Show at the Wang Clan Ancestor's Birthday Banquet
"Master, we are preparing to descend the mountain for a journey."
After a brief moment of shock, Xiao Chen came to his senses. Seeing that his junior brother had obtained such an extraordinary cultivation technique, he felt no resentment whatsoever; he only wanted to continue becoming stronger.
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng immediately asked, "When do you plan to leave?"
Xiao Chen said, "It will be in the next few days."
"Give me the Sword Jade first, and we'll collect it all tomorrow."
Chu Feng didn't have much to say. His disciples were all top-notch geniuses, and with their own Sword Jade, they generally wouldn't encounter any problems.
"Promise."
Everyone took out their Sword Jade and handed them to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng carefully put away all the Sword Jade, stretched, and said, "I'm sleepy, I'm going back to take a nap."
The crowd respectfully said, "We respectfully bid farewell to our Master."
The next day.
Xiao Chen, Cao Youqian, Liu Yue'er Wang Baole, and Nangong Yu left the Dao-Seeking Academy together, while Mountain-Moving Marquis quietly followed behind them, protecting Xiao Chen.
Their destination this time was the Cangyun Wang Clan in the lower reaches of the Luo River.
The lower reaches of the Luo River are far from the Dao-Seeking Academy, but fortunately, Dao-Seeking City has a teleportation array that can take you directly to Luo City, a major town on the Luo River.
Upon entering the teleportation array, everyone experienced a moment of darkness before their eyes, after which light returned.
On this trip, Xiao Chen and the others did not wear the robes of disciples of the Dao-Seeking Academy, but instead wore brand-new, top-grade magic robes.
The moment the five appeared outside the teleportation array, they attracted the attention of countless people.
The crowd simply ignored these stares.
Xiao Chen turned and asked, "Fourth Junior Brother, is there a teleportation array in Luo City that leads to the Cangyun Wang Clan?"
Wang Baole shook his head. "No, firstly, this place is only a few thousand miles away from the Cangyun Wang Clan, and secondly, the teleportation array is extremely expensive, and even the Wang Clan's wealth cannot support the consumption of the teleportation array."
Without hesitation, Xiao Chen replied, "Then we'll go to the horse market and buy a few Gale Steed; it'll only take a few days."
"Good."
No one had any objections to the proposal; the Gale Steed could travel a thousand miles a day, and a journey of several thousand miles could be completed in just a few days.
An hour later, the group rode away from Luo City on their Gale Steed.
Meanwhile, the Luo River Aristocratic Family.
In the patriarch's study, the steward respectfully addressed the middle-aged man practicing calligraphy. "Patriarch, just now some clansmen spotted a group of prodigies from the Dao-Seeking Academy in the city."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man paused, pen in hand, and slowly raised his head to ask, "Have you found out which prodigies they are?"
The steward reported, "Reporting to the head of the family, it is Xiao Chen, along with Wang Baole, the son-in-law of the Wang Clan, and others."
hiss...
The middle-aged man gasped inwardly. He had naturally heard of Xiao Chen's reputation. During his training in the Great Void Secret Realm, Xiao Chen had overpowered all the heroes in the world and become the number one prodigy of the era.
Moreover, his master Chu Feng, even killed Half-Saint from the Great Evolution Holy Land with a single sword strike, shaking the world with his might.
That's why, even though their Sima Clan disciple died at Cao Youqian's hands, the Sima Clan didn't dare to hold the Dao-Seeking Academy accountable and could only pretend that nothing had happened.
Compared to the fact that less than one in ten disciples of the Great Evolution Holy Land survived, the Sima Clan at least had half of their disciples still alive. These people all have the opportunity to achieve Nirvana in the future, and may even be granted the title of King Conferment or marquis.
"Can we find out their movements?"
The steward respectfully replied, "Our men have been following them. After Xiao Chen and his group left Luo City, they sped off towards the direction of the Cangyun Wang Clan."
After hearing this, the head of the Sima Clan immediately showed a look of sudden realization.
"It seems they are on their way to celebrate the 800th birthday of the Wang Clan patriarch. I have ordered a generous gift to be prepared, as I wish to personally offer my congratulations to the patriarch."
"Promise."
After the steward responded, he asked doubtfully, "Master, I've heard that the Wang Clan doesn't treat Wang Baole well. Are you sure he didn't bring a group of fellow disciples with him this time to annul the engagement?"
The head of the Sima Clan laughed and said, "You haven't made any progress in all these years following me. If Wang Baole really wants to cause trouble for the Wang Clan, he will ask his master to go with him to annul the engagement, instead of going with several fellow disciples."
Let alone the fact that the Cangyun Wang Clan has had several King and Marquis and marquises in its ancestors, even my Sima Clan would have to give way to Chief Chu of the Dao Dao-Seeking Academy.
The butler's face immediately showed a look of sudden realization, and he slowly withdrew.
As the head of the Sima Clan watched the steward leave, he thought to himself: This birthday banquet is going to be quite a spectacle.
Cangyun City is a large city with a population of millions, and it is also the capital of the Cangyun Wang Clan.
The members of the Cangyun Wang Clan all lived in the inner city.
Among them, the clansmen living on Hidden Dragon Avenue were of the highest status.
In the mansion of the Wang Clan's eldest branch, a middle-aged beautiful woman looked worried after hearing what her maid said.
She turned her gaze to the middle-aged man beside her; this man was none other than Wang Chongyi, the future head of the Wang Clan.
"Husband, Yulin only went to Great Void Valley, how did she come back like this? Could it be that she was bullied by the disciples of those powerful forces in Great Void Valley?"
Wang Chongyi said with a stern face, "You have to come to me to ask about such a trivial matter? Don't you know what kind of person your daughter is?"
I've been spoiled at home, so it's normal that I suffered a loss against the disciples of powerful forces this time. I'm busy with the ancestor's birthday celebrations, so I'll leave the family matters to you."
Hearing this, Madam Wang felt a little aggrieved, but she dared not contradict her husband.
Moreover, compared to the patriarch's birthday banquet, his daughter's affairs were indeed insignificant.
In recent years, the Wang Clan has suffered a decline in talent, relying entirely on their ancestor, a Nirvana expert, to keep the family afloat. This birthday banquet, in addition to inviting outsiders to celebrate with their ancestor, also serves to showcase the Wang Clan's strength and resources to the public.
"This concubine takes her leave."
After speaking, Madam Wang turned and left, intending to go to her daughter's villa to inquire about what had happened to her.
Just as she arrived at the gate of Wang Yulin's villa, the old butler rushed over and respectfully announced, "Madam Baole and your son-in-law have returned with friends."
"Wang Baole?"
Upon hearing this name, Madam Wang's face showed a hint of disdain.
Although the Dao-Seeking Academy gained great fame in this Great Void Secret Realm, it was the Half-Saint Chu Feng, as well as the three prodigies of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, Xiao Chen, Cao Youqian, and Qin Qin, who became well-known to the world.
As for Wang Baole, who was at the True Fate Realm, no one discussed him at all. In addition, as soon as Wang Yulin returned home, she locked herself up, so the Wang Clan naturally did not receive any news about him.
"He still has the nerve to come back?"
Upon hearing this, the steward respectfully replied, "Madam, he must have known it was the Ancestor's birthday and that's why he rushed back. After all, the Ancestor thinks highly of that boy."
Hearing the words "Grandmother," Madam Wang's contempt for Wang Baole did not diminish in the slightest.
"I don't know what the old ancestor saw in this boy that made him so insistent on marrying our Yulin to him. Just arrange a place for them to stay, and then notify them to attend the birthday banquet."
"Promise."
The butler responded and then turned to leave...
