Chapter 585: The banquet
~~
"Senior, I don't have any information on the blacksmiths of the Tian Yuan continent right now. I'm going to have my men go elsewhere to look for them, so please wait patiently." Ye chen said to di Xiong.
Di Xiong smiled faintly. I do have some information on blacksmiths on the Tian Yuan continent. However, my cultivation was not high enough before, so I couldn't cultivate. Just give me a few origin divine pills and let me reach the cultivation of the spirit sea realm and I can cultivate. At the same time, I can pass it on to my disciples.
Di Xiong took out a few ancient looking books. On them were the words "personal letter of artifact refining." Written in the Tian Yuan continent's language, it was vigorous and powerful.
Ye chen raised his head and looked at di Xiong in surprise. He was secretly shocked. Until now, he still did not know about di Xiong's background. It seemed that di Xiong's background was still worth investigating. Could it be that di Xiong was originally from the Tian Yuan continent, but was forced to go to the eastern continent, and then found a place to live in seclusion?
"There must be something strange in your heart. I think you've already guessed that I'm from the Tian Yuan continent." Di Xiong sighed as a deep sorrow and dissatisfaction flashed through his eyes,"my clan is a very famous clan of blacksmiths on the Tian Yuan continent." However, I'm not a direct descendant of the clan, I'm just a servant. I was expelled from the clan because I secretly learned the art of forging. However, some people were unwilling to let me go so easily. I had no choice but to gather money and leave the Tian Yuan continent, living in seclusion on the eastern continent."
It turned out that di Xiong really was from the Tian Yuan continent. Looking at his expression, ye chen could feel the anger, sadness, and helplessness hidden in his heart. Di Xiong must have been oppressed by some inhuman people in the past, so he chose to leave his hometown and hide. It was just that he was unwilling to talk about it.
senior, I promise you that one day, you will be able to return to that armament master's clan and do what you want to do! Ye chen said in a deep voice. He had a strong confidence that so what if it was those blacksmith clans that stood at the top? the ye clan would rise sooner or later and surpass them!
When he heard ye Chen's words, an irrepressible glint flashed across di Xiong's eyes. When he thought of the ye clan and the star temple, he knew that ye chen was not lying. The ye clan would rise one day and become the most dazzling existence on the Tian Yuan continent!
Di Xiong was so excited that his body trembled slightly. His eyes were bright as he looked at ye chen and said firmly, I've already memorized many things in the weapon refining manual. As long as I reach the divine sea realm, I can start refining weapons and help you train a group of excellent weapon refining disciples!
"Then I'll have to trouble senior." Ye chen cupped his hands and said sincerely. Without any hesitation, he stuffed a few tier one origin divine pills into di Xiong's hands.
Ye chen looked smugly in the direction of the eastern continent. Based on the current speed, he should be able to finish extraditing all the clansmen and disciples of the star temple within a year. There was also the sea demon clan. Ye chen wanted to migrate tantai Ling's clansmen over as well. After all, tantai Ling was now his woman and ye chen had the responsibility to take care of her clansmen.
Although the ye clan's financial resources were growing day by day, the amount of money needed to extradite so many people was too large. Even ye chen felt a little powerless in the face of such a huge number and could only take it slowly.
Zi Hua divine dynasty's Imperial City.
As usual, ye chen asked the snow Emperor some questions about cultivation and prepared to start cultivating.
At this moment, Ling Yu walked in from outside.
big brother ye chen, this is an invitation from King Ji Haotian. He invites you to the palace to attend the Royal banquet. It is said that there are a few distinguished people outside the Zi Hua divine dynasty who are invited. My uncle is also among them. Ling Yu handed ye chen a gold-stamped invitation card.
"Ji Haotian actually invited me?" Ye chen looked at the invitation and frowned slightly.
"When the seven war emperors sent him an inscription card at the same time, he must have been shocked. Now, how could he dare to not value big brother ye chen?" The corner of Ling Yu's mouth twitched slightly as he said with a smile. As the Emperor of the Zi Hua divine dynasty, Ji Haotian only had the support of five battle-emperors. After he knew that ye chen had such great power, he could not wait to treat him well. How could he dare to underestimate him?
"Since the snow Emperor is also going, I'll go and take a look as well." Ye chen nodded. Although many people had seen the tip of the iceberg of the ye clan's power and began to pay attention to them, ye chen was still not ready to show all his strength to the world. Nevertheless, it was just a banquet, so it shouldn't be a big problem. He would have to meet Ji Haotian sooner or later, but he didn't know who else Ji Haotian had invited.
Ling Yu was quite excited when ye chen agreed. If ye chen went, he could bring Ling Yu along. This was his first time attending a royal banquet like this. In the past, it was Ling Cheng or Ling Xu who represented the Ling family.
including the Ling family, there are a total of six great clans in the Zi Hua divine dynasty. These great clans 'businesses are spread throughout the entire Zi Hua divine dynasty. Some of the ye clan's activities should have already violated the interests of the other five Great Clans. Big brother ye chen, you have to be careful in case the five great Clans suddenly make trouble. Ling Yu reminded.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed coldly."What can they do to me? Even if they want to do something to me, the snow Emperor is here!"
the others are nothing, but the five noble families are just so-so. But, I don't know the background of those few noble figures invited by Ji Haotian. We should be careful.
Ye chen nodded slightly. The five great Clans of the Zi Hua divine dynasty could not deal with him, but he had to be careful if they wanted to kill him with a borrowed knife. The ye family's current goal was too big. They had almost become The Public Enemy of all the aristocrats in the entire Zi Hua divine dynasty. They wanted nothing more than to exterminate the ye family!
Ji Haotian suddenly invited him to a royal banquet, so he had to be careful indeed.
However, as long as he was careful, he wouldn't be caught.
The power that ye chen could mobilize was astonishing, so he naturally had nothing to fear. He would wait and see what Ji Haotian and the five major clans were going to do.
Night gradually fell, but the Imperial City was brightly lit and bustling today. The endless stream of carriages on the wide official road was no less inferior to the daytime. One by one, the luxurious carriages of the nobles converged in the direction of the Imperial City.
Tonight was the imperial family's banquet, and those who could be invited were all prominent figures in Zi Hua divine dynasty. It was said that there were also a few distinguished guests from other divine dynasties. The nobles who were invited had already made preparations. They wanted to show off their talents at the banquet and fight for more benefits for themselves and their families.
The six great clans of the Imperial City had naturally sent their representatives to attend the banquet.
The snow Emperor led ye chen and Ling Yu in a luxurious carriage. They crossed the long bluestone Avenue and entered the Imperial City.
In the inner palace of the Imperial City, there were many magnificent buildings. Carriages stopped in the open square in front of the palace. Nobles in gorgeous clothes alighted from the carriages. They greeted each other with smiles and entered the Great Hall together.
"Great snow Emperor, how have you been?" An old man in a purple robe walked over and cupped his hands with a smile. He had a carefully trimmed goatee, his white hair was neatly tied behind his head, and his long and narrow eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled, giving people a sense of shrewdness.
"Lord tu, how have you been?" The snow Emperor nodded his head slightly and said with an indifferent expression. As a battle Emperor, he didn't need to be polite to these so-called clan leaders.
tu Hongtian, the master of the TU family, one of the six great clans of Zi Hua divine dynasty. He is the right Minister of Zi Hua divine dynasty and a cunning old fox. Ling Yu transmitted his voice to ye chen.
Ye chen nodded slightly. Although tu Hongtian was all smiles, his eyes would occasionally flash with a sharp light. One could see that this person was very shrewd and cunning.
"Are these two young talents from the Ling clan?" Tu Hongtian's gaze fell on ye chen and Ling Yu, and he asked with the kind expression of an elder.
Ling Yu of the Ling family, I don't think I need to introduce him to Lord tu. As for this person, he is not a member of the Ling family, but an important guest of the Ling family. The snow Emperor's tone remained calm but he did not explain ye Chen's background.
When he heard the snow Emperor's words, tu Hongtian seemed to already know ye Chen's identity. A strange look flashed in his eyes and he said with a smile, " "It's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect that the snow Emperor would also bring an important guest. There are so many important guests tonight. Let's go in together, snow Emperor."
Tu Hongtian's words seemed to be hinting at something, but the snow Emperor didn't mind. He took the lead and walked towards the inner palace.
There were also a few other invited nobles who were also walking toward the inner hall. Many people cast their gazes over, both openly and secretly. They noticed ye chen walking behind the snow Emperor. Their gazes were all different, and most of them had some hatred for ye chen.
The things that ye chen and the ye clan's disciples had done, as well as ye Chen's appearance as the clan leader, had long been spread around through the star Crystal. Many aristocrats had their jobs taken by the ye clan, so it was normal for them to hate ye chen. However, some people kept a respectful distance from ye chen. The ye family had caused such a huge disturbance, and even harmed the interests of the royal family, but Ji Haotian didn't do anything to the ye family. There must be many reasons for this. As time went by, they had more or less learned about what had happened to the ye family. Even Emperor Lin failed to do anything to the ye family, not to mention these people!
Ye chen and Ling Yu walked side by side, following the snow Emperor into the main hall.
In the front of the hall, eight battle-emperors were already sitting. They didn't expect that Ji Haotian was so influential that he was able to invite so many battle-emperors.
As soon as ye chen and the others entered the main hall, an attendant came forward and respectfully invited the snow Emperor to the front seat where the battle-emperors were seated. Ye chen and Ling Yu sat in the corner of the main hall.
"Out of the six great clans, including the Ling family, three of them have a battle Emperor in their clan. The other three great clans also have the support of a battle Emperor. The support of a war Emperor is the foundation that allows them to gain a foothold in the Imperial City." Ling Yu softly introduced each and every one of them to ye chen. Although most of them were over a hundred years old, some were even two or three hundred years old, time did not leave any trace on their faces. Each of them looked like a handsome young man. If it were not for the powerful aura that they emitted, ordinary people would not be able to tell that they were all battle emperors.
