Chapter 92: The Rise of the Ye Family, The Arrival of Xia Yuning (2)

Ouyang Xiao smiled bitterly, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He prided himself as a genius and had a good reputation in the Green Cloud Sect.
However, compared to Ye Xuan, he was really nothing.
He was already so old, but he could break through to the Foundation
Establishment Realm in such a short period of time, while he was still lingering at the Qi Refinement Stage.
Although part of the reason was that he was distracted by family matters, he knew that even if he was given another ten years, he might not be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.
“Since we’re on good terms with him, we naturally have to continue. We can’t give up halfway.”
“After Patriarch Ye reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, mortal women are no longer worthy of him. Pick some women within the family who have spiritual roots to congratulate Patriarch Ye for becoming a Foundation
Establishment Realm expert. ”
Ouyang Qingfeng waved his hand and made a decision.
The Ouyang Family was huge and had many women with spiritual roots.
Although they only had Grade-I spiritual roots, as long as they possessed spiritual roots, they would be fought over by some small sects.
This was especially true for women with Grade-I spiritual roots. Although their spiritual roots were poor, the chances of them giving birth to children with spiritual roots were at least ten times higher.
This kind of woman was also an important asset for the family to form marriage alliances.
Now that this was a marriage alliance with the Ye Family, they naturally had to choose a better one.
In his opinion, the Ye Family Patriarch had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm and still needed to stabilize his cultivation. Although many families would come to seek cooperation in the short term, the Ye Family would not expand too much.
In addition, compared to the other two families, his Ouyang Family was on better terms with the Ye Family. Even if the Ye Family expanded, it would not infringe on the interests of the Ouyang Family.
This was also the reason why he chose to continue befriending the Ye Family.
As for the other two families…
They might not think that way.
After all, Ten Thousand Flower City was only so big.
The three major family clans shared most of the pie. If the Ye Family wanted to continue expanding, they could either eat the share of the three major family clans or eat that of some other small family clans. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝙤𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝒄𝙤𝒎
Either way, the Ye Family would be met with no small amount of resistance.
Since the Ouyang Family and the Ye Family were on good terms, the Ye Family would definitely eat the share of the other family clans first.
If the Ouyang Family could make some moves and lend a helping hand, they might be able to obtain some benefits.
“Family Head is wise!”
“Family Head is wise!”
Soon, the Ouyang Family Clan meeting ended.
Everyone agreed with Ouyang Qingfeng’s idea and had no objections.
Only Ouyang Xiao looked unhappy.
Previously, he could still address Ye Xuan as brother. Now, if he were to see him again, he had to address him as Senior.
This was difficult for him to accept for a while.
The Jiang Family.
It was also a gathering of all the members. All of them had ugly expressions.
“Damn it!”
“Somebody tell me what’s going on!”
“Where did the Ye Family Patriarch come from? Why is his cultivation speed so fast!”
“Who was the one who said that his lifespan was about to end?!”
“Damn it! How could a dying man break through to the Foundation
Establishment Realm in such a short period of time?!”
The Jiang Family Head sat at the head of the table, spittle flying everywhere.
The upper echelons of the Jiang Family all lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.
However, their gazes were all on Jiang Shen.
Because…
It was Jiang Shen who first brought the news that the Ye Family Patriarch was about to die and was not strong.
Previously, the Ye Family Patriarch began to recruit a few female cultivators at the Qi Refinement Stage, attracting the attention of the entire city.
At that time, the Ouyang Family Clan had sent the number one beauty of the Ten Thousand Flower City for a marriage alliance. The Jiang Family had also been discussing if they should do anything, but they were stopped by Jiang Shen…
Therefore, the Jiang Family did not express their stance at that time.
And now that the Ye Family Patriarch had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he naturally would not be satisfied with the current situation. He would definitely participate in the fight for territories and industries of the Ten Thousand Flower City.
The Ten Thousand Flower City was not big to begin with, and the pie was limited. Over the years, the three major family clans had long achieved a delicate equilibrium.
Now that a new Ye Family had suddenly appeared, it would definitely divide the benefits of the other families.
It would have been fine if the other party was just a newly advanced Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. However, everyone knew that the Ye Family Patriarch had another identity—an alchemist!
With the enhancement of the dual identity, some small family clans that were originally cooperating with the three major family clans might turn to work with the Ye Family.
This would definitely cause the three family clans to suffer heavy losses.
“Family Head, the Ye Family Patriarch’s great power has been realized. There’s nothing we can do.” An elder stood up and smiled bitterly.
“If only we could be on good terms with the Ye Family earlier. It’s a pity that we let the Ouyang Family Clan take advantage of us.” Another old man also shook his head helplessly.
“The Ye Family Patriarch’s family is large. It is even an emerging family that requires incomparably large resources. I think in the next few years, the Ye Family’s expansion will peak.”
The group of elders spoke one after another, but they were all talking nonsense and could not think of any useful plan at all.
Generally speaking, the three major family clans had long had an agreement that if a new Foundation Establishment Realm expert established an immortal-cultivation family clan, the three major family clans would join forces to deal with him.
Over the years, many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had wanted to settle down here. However, they had all been jointly targeted by the three major family clans. In the end, they could not take it anymore and found some other place.
However, this was under the premise that the other party did not have a foundation.
The Ye Family had already developed and strengthened before this. Now that the Ye Family Patriarch had suddenly advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, coupled with the current scale of the Ye Family, even if the three major family clans joined forces, they would not be able to sanction him.
The traitor, the Ouyang Family, even turned around and cooperated with the other party.
This was intolerable.
Moreover, the Bai Family also had an intense discussion that day..novelbuddy. com
