The Wu family.
The family eting room.
All of the leaders of the Wu family were seated here, each one with a grim expression.
Every one of them had their own thoughts, considering strategies to deal with this crisis, as well as survival thods.
After a long silence, the Wu Clan Leader finally spoke slowly: "Ladies and gentlen, do none of you have anything to say? This is the mont of life and death for the Wu family! Shouldn’t you stand up and think of a solution?"
Everyone remained silent.
What use are solutions now?
Their Great Elder had already taken action, and even the supposedly invincible martial skills had failed.
What solutions could they possibly have?
If their cultivation surpassed that of Yang Chen, they would have acted long ago, why wait until now?
The Wu Clan Leader looked at everyone and felt a surge of anger.
Every year during the annual bonus distribution, they fought each other fiercely, yet at this critical mont, not a single person was willing to stand up, which made him feel a chill in his heart.
"You all..." the Wu Clan Leader said angrily, "Yang Chen has already sent people to take over our Wu family! Our family na is about to change! Are you not even a little worried?"
Soone muttered under their breath, "Isn’t this all because you agreed to the gamble with him? Without that bet, there wouldn’t be so much trouble!"
Bang!
The Wu Clan Leader slamd the table fiercely and said in a furious voice, "If it weren’t for , we would have already beco his possession! Do you think that not taking action would have kept them from acting against us?"
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to argue.
The Wu Clan Leader could see that they still harbored grievances in their hearts.
At this ti, everyone was more inclined to find a scapegoat and place all the bla on his shoulders, allowing themselves to remain blaless.
Now, the Wu Clan Leader had undoubtedly been pushed into this role.
For a mont, the Wu Clan Leader couldn’t help but feel a bit panicked.
At that mont, soone ca in and whispered a few words in the Wu Clan Leader’s ear.
"Housekeeper Zhang? What’s he doing here?" the Wu Clan Leader murmured with a frown.
But after thinking for a mont, he still got up, ready to et him.
After all, Housekeeper Zhang had made it clear that he wanted to see the Clan Leader, with sothing very important to discuss.
At this critical ti, they still needed to rely on the leadership of Second Young Master Yun, so he couldn’t refuse to et.
Soon, the Wu Clan Leader left the eting room and went to the reception room, where he saw Housekeeper Zhang sipping tea.
"Wu Clan Leader!" Housekeeper Zhang imdiately stood up when he saw the Wu Clan Leader.
The Wu Clan Leader was also very courteous, motioning for Housekeeper Zhang to sit down and speak, and asked, "I wonder what urgent matter brings Housekeeper Zhang here now?"
Hearing this, Housekeeper Zhang couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
He knew that Wu Clan Leader had been in a family eting just now, and being called out surely made him sowhat displeased, and if there was nothing significant to report, he feared a backlash.
Housekeeper Zhang thought for a mont and glanced at the people standing on both sides, "Uh... Wu Clan Leader, this matter is confidential, would you mind..."
The Wu Clan Leader imdiately gestured with his hand, indicating for everyone to leave.
Afterward, Housekeeper Zhang leaned forward, whispering, "Second Young Master asked to inform you that the Divine Envoy has arrived in Ancheng, right on Cloud Mist Mountain."
Upon hearing the words "Divine Envoy," the Wu Clan Leader’s eyes widened.
The two words were like a thunderous explosion in his ears, making his entire head buzz.
Housekeeper Zhang continued, "Second Young Master Yun has already inford the Divine Envoy of today’s events, and the Divine Envoy was very angry, saying he would personally deal with Yang Chen. Tonight, you need to go to Cloud Mist Mountain and attend tonight’s banquet, where the Divine Envoy will be waiting for you."
"Are you sure about this?" the Wu Clan Leader grabbed Housekeeper Zhang, asking urgently.
Housekeeper Zhang smiled, "Do you think we would joke with you at this critical ti? Initially, the Divine Envoy was to go to New City, but had to change to Cloud Mist Mountain because of Yang Chen. Moreover, it was I who personally received the Divine Envoy, and Second Young Master Yun had a direct eting with our Cabinet Elder—how could it be false?"
The Wu Clan Leader furrowed his brow in deep thought.
Seeing this, Housekeeper Zhang added, "Think carefully. If Yang Chen is not dealt with, it’s not just the Wu family that will be in danger. No one would dare joke about this."
"But..." the Wu Clan Leader frowned, "the Divine Envoy... hasn’t appeared for over a hundred years, why now..."
Housekeeper Zhang smiled, "All this will be clear once you go to Cloud Mist Mountain tonight."
The Wu Clan Leader remained silent.
Housekeeper Zhang didn’t pay attention to Wu Clan Leader’s reaction, instead, he cupped his hands and said, "I have to inform the other families, farewell!"
Watching Housekeeper Zhang leave, the Wu Clan Leader’s eyes flickered.
The Divine Envoy...
It was a very distant concept.
The establishnt of the Nine Venerables itself contained many secrets, and the so-called Venerable Master hadn’t appeared for over a hundred years.
The Left and Right Envoys of the Nine Venerables basically acted as their spokespeople, yet in over a century, only Left Envoy Yang had appeared.
In truth, the true ruler and the one who held the true power of the Nine Venerables should be the Divine Envoy.
Not only that, but more importantly, the Divine Envoy’s heaven-destroying and earth-shattering power...
If it really is the Divine Envoy coming... then Yang Chen is just a re clown!
Thinking of this, a hint of a smile appeared in the Wu Clan Leader’s eyes.
If true, then all is well. If false, since Second Young Master Yun is willing to perform this act, let him. It doesn’t relate significantly to him.
Considering everything, it’s all gain with no loss, why not?
Imdiately, the Wu Clan Leader called out, "Co, prepare the car and gifts, tonight we head to Cloud Mist Mountain!"
...
At this ti, Housekeeper Zhang, fulfilling his duties, was hurrying to the next family.
The results were similar.
Clan leaders all knew about the Divine Envoy’s existence, but hearing the na still startled them.
After all, the legendary Divine Envoy hadn’t appeared in over a hundred years.
Now appearing made them sowhat skeptical.
But they still chose to take a look, given that the Divine Envoy was the hope in this crisis; they had no reason to refuse.
After notifying the six families in Ancheng, Housekeeper Zhang imdiately headed towards the Zhang family and the Xiang family.
Both families were outside the city, so he needed to hurry.
...
The sun set in the west.
Yang Chen looked at Zhang Yiran beside him, his expression changing slightly, "What did you say? Divine Envoy? What Divine Envoy?"
Zhang Yiran replied in a deep voice, "The legendary Divine Envoy, who hasn’t appeared in over a hundred years, is said to possess formidable power, capable of destroying the heavens and earth, possessing vast abilities none can rival. Even Grandmaster Realm experts are but ants in their eyes! In actuality, the Venerable Master of the Nine Venerables is even stronger, but has never appeared. Now that the Divine Envoy has appeared, for the endangered Venerable Master, perhaps also..."
