If we were to ask which family among the divine marquis families hates the Chu family the most, it would undoubtedly be the Qin family!
The grievances of the previous generation were innumerable, and the two sides had been fighting each other for countless years... And with the emergence of talented people such as Purple Marquis Chu Zhongyi and Iron Lion Chu Zhongtie, the Qin family has been at a disadvantage in this fight, not to mention the "new grudge" of Chu Tianxiao... You know, there is almost no Qin family in Tianjue City now. They can be said to have been completely crippled by Chu Tianxiao. Although those people are not the main force of the Qin family, their foundation is only in Kyoto, but... Being bullied by a junior has brought them to this point, especially Qin Jiaojiao, a chess piece that Qin Hou valued very much, also left because of Chu Tianxiao... So even Qin Hou himself is extremely eager to kill Chu Tianxiao with his own hands! Not to mention the recent struggle between this family and the Chu family, they have not won once, and have been suppressed all the time! You can imagine how aggrieved they are and how much they hate the Chu family...
Therefore, they are the most active leaders in this alliance!
The next person to arrive was Luo family patriarch's younger brother, Luo Mingqiu. He was already a master at the peak of the Soul Awakening Realm, and also a high-ranking figure in the Luo family who could cause an earthquake with just a stomp of his foot. It was rumored that he had always been at odds with the third master of the Chu family, and had always wanted to surpass him all his life. And now the news that Chu Zhongtie had advanced to the level of a great cultivator had spread... So at this moment, the expression on the face of this great master of the Luo family was extremely grim. Seeing him clench his fists, one could tell that he was also the firm leader of this meeting.
Originally, after the battle between Luo Bingqing and Chu Tianxiao, the Luo family and the Chu family led by Chu Tianxiao were already at loggerheads - after all, no Divine Marquis family would tolerate such a slap in the face, and as for who was right and who was wrong beforehand, it was not important relative to the dignity of the Divine Marquis family...
And after that, Chu Tianxiao defeated Luo Bingbai, the young master of the Luo family, again, and defeated him easily, which made the Luo family lose face... Not to mention, after the negotiation between the Luo family and the Chu family broke down, Chu Tianxiao ruthlessly handed over his own "Ice Vortex Art" to their mortal enemy, the Gu family... One thing after another, by now, the Luo family and the Chu family have almost reached a situation of life and death, so the second leader here is the Luo family.
Then... it was the Feng family. They also sent out Feng Lingtian, a heavyweight of the Feng family who had practiced the Lingfeng swordsmanship to a very high level and whose status was only second to Feng Junhou! It was said that this person's talent was even higher than Feng Junhou's, and there was a glimmer of hope that he would be granted the title of marquis in the future... His appearance here also showed the Feng family's attitude towards the Chu family.
Although... the "Lord Feng" who appeared in the battle for the Imperial Garden was not the real person, the little he showed also damaged the reputation of Lord Feng Shiming. Of course... What made the Feng family most upset was that Chu Tianxiao actually defeated the young Lord Feng! Although it was unintentional, in their eyes it was a humiliation to the Feng family, which was intolerable! Moreover, the young geniuses of the Feng family were simply unable to compete with Chu Tianxiao. If they couldn't get back at him in a head-on fight, they could only think of other ways... Therefore, after the Qin family and the Luo family issued an alliance agreement, the Feng family was the first to respond, and soon became a member of the third leading faction.
After that, several more representatives from the Divine Marquis families came, but they were not as famous as the three before. Of course, this was only relatively so. Even those people were just figures above the clouds in the eyes of most people in Kyoto. They were simply invisible. Among the families represented by this group of people, some were originally hostile to the Chu family, some came out of the mentality of "when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down", but most of them came for "self-protection"...
The last person to arrive was Dai Xiu, the third disciple of Mu Xin, one of the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou!
Although he was the weakest among the people present, no one looked down on him. This was not only because of his identity as one of the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou, but more importantly, everyone saw that he was holding a cone-like object in his hand...
"Heart-breaking cone..."
"The Seven Sons of the Great Zhou, Sheng Shinian's treasured weapon... Mu Xin actually succeeded in joining forces with this person..."
The moment they saw this item, everyone in the room realized its meaning... You know, among the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou, there are strong and weak ones, and even a huge gap in strength. For example, Sheng Shinian is a leader who is firmly in the upper middle level, a master of the middle level of Qihun! And he... is only 26 years old, younger than Mu Xin! He can be said to be a true child of destiny...
The Seven Sons of the Great Zhou Dynasty have formed their own forces and have a high status. Even if they are no match for the Divine Marquis Family in a head-on fight, as allies, they are an existence that no one will despise... With their joining, the Divine Marquis Family has more confidence, and many people are silently thinking that this trip is really the right one...
In this way, under the leadership of the three great divine marquis families and the two great Zhou Seventh Masters, a total of twenty representatives of the divine marquis families gathered here. Among the remaining fifteen divine marquis families, eleven chose to remain neutral, and the other four chose to stand on the side of the Chu family...
It can be said that it is a crushing situation!
Therefore, when this group of people all sat down and gathered around a stone table... For a moment, a strong aura arose spontaneously, which could be said to be spontaneous and without any deliberateness!
It is conceivable how terrifying it will be when this force is combined...
"Let's get started."
Qin Guizhong narrowed his eyes, but his old voice revealed a hint of ambition. After this, Luo Mingqiu immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said to everyone: "Everyone, we have said enough when discussing the alliance before. Here, let's make it short."
"The Chu family is powerful and has seized the permanent ownership of the Imperial Garden. If we allow them to continue to develop, everyone present here will be wiped out one by one by them!"
"The Divine Marquis family behind you has always been extremely prosperous. Do you want us to linger on and kowtow to the Chu family?"
"impossible!"
"Everyone, only if we unite and fight against the Chu family together, can we have a chance to survive. Otherwise, we can only sit back and watch the Chu family grow stronger and stronger, and we will be at the mercy of others!"
After these words were spoken, everyone in the room nodded and immediately began to express their opinions.
"My Feng family can hinder the Chu family's treasure business."
"My Fei family can hit the Chu family's Dan Pavilion business."
"If you all cooperate, my Ling family can cut off the most important spiritual veins of the Chu family!"
"The secret agents that my Murong family had planted in the Chu family can be activated at any time if necessary..."
"As for manpower, my Nan family can serve you..."
Just as Qin Guizhong and others said, although the Chu family is large and powerful, any single Divine Marquis family is no match for it, but once more than a dozen Divine Marquis families form an alliance, the Chu family will immediately fall into an extremely unfavorable situation... If the statement of this group of people is finally implemented, the Chu family will have no choice but to quickly converge its industries and funds, and the family strength will shrink on a large scale... There is no other possibility!
Even if he still has some allies, it's the same! Because every Divine Marquis family here is not easy to deal with! If they unite, as long as they move forward steadily and don't be arrogant or impatient, one day they will eat up the Chu family and divide up the industry, resources, secrets and manpower! Not to mention, there is also the strong support of the Seven Sons of the Great Zhou...
The powerful ones join forces and crush each other layer by layer. The overall situation is like this. The Chu family... seems to be destined to be eroded step by step and go to extinction
Just when everyone in the room was thinking this, a ray of light, gradually getting darker, suddenly lit up in a corner of Kyoto, and then... shot straight into the sky!
Everyone in the room narrowed their eyes...
"That is..."
Suddenly, an extremely bright beam of light broke through the night and shot straight into the sky, like a sharp sword, as if it was about to pierce the sky!
For a moment, Kyoto was as bright as day!
Then, Kyoto immediately became chaotic. Many Kyoto residents opened their windows to look out, went out to shout, countless noises came one after another, countless people looked at the beam of light, some were curious, some were anxious, some were worried, some were thinking hard... They didn't understand what had happened, but everyone with a discerning eye could see that...
"The direction from which this beam of light appeared is... the Imperial Garden?"
"Yes... Diyuan! What is Chu Baijia up to now?"
"… This is the first time I've seen such a bright beam of light. What on earth is this? How did Chu Tianxiao do it?"
In the whole of Kyoto, only a handful of people can see through this "light column" and see its essence...
…
In the magnificent palace.
"This is not a pillar of light..." The powerful voice of Emperor Zhou sounded, but the eunuch Gao Weng who was serving outside could read a very slight vibration from it... This could not help but surprise the old man, because there are only a few things in the world that can surprise Emperor Zhou, and although this vibration is so light that no one can hear it except for his close bodyguard, but... it still surprised His Majesty!
This...Did Chu Tianxiao do something shocking again
Emperor Zhou continued slowly, "This is energy... Extremely pure spiritual energy burst out from a certain container in an instant, forming an extremely dense energy column..."
Hearing this, Gao Weng vaguely guessed something and said in disbelief, "Your Majesty means..."
"...Yes, as far as I know, there is only one kind of container in the Imperial Garden that can do this..."
When Emperor Zhou said this, Gao Weng was already trembling and asked, "Training Tower?"
"That's right and wrong..." Emperor Zhou said, "Although the training tower in the Imperial Garden can do it, such a bright and dazzling energy column can only be achieved when the training tower is running at its maximum speed, and it can only be achieved when it is running at its maximum speed in an instant!"
After saying this, Gao Weng's mouth twitched: "How many spirit crystals will be burned to do this? What does that kid want to do?"
After a pause, he said with some doubt: "But even so, Your Majesty should not... Uh, I spoke out of turn."
Hearing this, Emperor Zhou knew what Gao Weng wanted to ask... Indeed, if only a training tower was operated to its limit in an instant, the spiritual crystals burned would be enough to seriously damage the vitality of a second-rate family and cause great pain to a first-rate family, but... that number was not something that Emperor Zhou cared about.
but…
Emperor Zhou sighed slightly. He was not surprised by the "light column" at the moment, but was frightened for a moment by the scene that might happen next...
“… Gao Weng, just wait and see.”
"No one can sleep tonight."
