Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Inside Qingxuan City

After the celebrations, tranquility was restored.

Everyone was looking up at Mo Feng.

“Mo Feng, what are your plans moving forward?” The leading elder chuckled.

“Considering that the ancient clan has already left for the Holy City, we currently don’t have the power to challenge them, but we can appropriate their territory and resources to boost as much as we can.”

“This will help us enhance our own strengths. If we want to confront the strong, we too must be strong!”

“Only strength is everything!”

Mo Feng cried out with raised arm, stirring the excited crowd to join in the cheer.

People had watched how Mo Feng evolved and what he did all this time.

Most of them were here for Mo Feng, a young boy full of constant fighting spirit and strategic acumen. They believed in him.

Amid the cheer, Mo Feng began to lay out his future plan.

It basically involved seizing as many resources as possible that were left by the ancient clan while avoiding conflict with other factions. They needed to do everything to strengthen themselves and preserve their power.

While Mo Feng was giving his speech, a few elders from the headquarters huddled in a corner.

Their faces bore cold yet triumphant smiles.

“This foolish boy, does he seriously think he has made a fortune?”

“Don’t talk too much. This boy is exactly the good candidate we need – fostering him will greatly contribute to our sect’s plan.”

“Do you guys really believe this boy can pull it off?”

“Let’s wait and see. And don’t expose anything. Play it safe and steady. We must make sure he feels attached to us. If we lose him, all our previous efforts will go to waste.”

When they finished discussing, an affable middle-aged man appeared holding a black stone.

“Here is the thing. Give it to him and tell him to focus on collection. If you need help with anything else, just handle it as you see fit,” the middle-aged man said calmly.

“Yes, elder.”

The others showed their utmost respect to him.

The affable middle-aged man nodded and turned to look at Mo Feng, who was stating his future plans in the distance, a smile spread across his face.

After some time, Mo Feng concluded his speech, his face flush from excitement.

Descending from the stage, Mo Feng went over to the elders excitedly.

“Elder, I have made my plans!”

The affable middle-aged man nodded and patted his shoulder: “Good job. With your courage and capability, you’ll surely have a bright future ahead.”

“The sect will not let you down.”

“Yes, elder. Rest assured, I will try my best!”

Mo Feng was slightly excited. After they spoke for a while, the group of elders finally left.

Elder Li of the branch stepped forward: “Congratulations, Mo Feng. Being the young master of the branch, you have a very promising future to become the young master of the entire sect.”

“Elder Li, you are too kind. It is already quite challenging to do my current tasks well,” Mo Feng modestly scratched his head.

Elder Li was a highly respected man in the branch.

He led the branch to resist the ancient clan for decades, which made him much-esteemed for his experience and capability.

Mo Feng wished to become someone like him!

“Take some rest these few days. The secret realm will open in a few days, and you need to be at your best to reap more benefits.”

Elder Li patted his shoulder: “Remember, we’ve paid a heavy price for the quotas for this expedition, and you’re going to meet the young master from the other three branches.”

“Whether to befriend or compete, it’s up to you, but remember that survival is paramount during this expedition to the secret realm, and someone would keep records of your actions.”

Mo Feng nodded repeatedly, his heart filled with anticipation for the about-to-open secret realm.

This was his first major event since becoming the young master!

He couldn’t slack off!

…

When Jiang Xiaobai, Ao Yan, and others arrived at Qingxuan City, it was already noon. After traveling for so long, they just wanted to find a place to rest.

They wanted to eat some meat, drink some wine. Would that not be delightful?

As soon as they found a nice restaurant to sit down in, they heard a lot of discussions in the hall.

“Have you heard? The sect is preparing to come into the open from hiding!”

“What is this sect? I haven’t heard of it.”

“That’s because you’re stupid. Don’t you know that this sect has been fighting the ancient clan for decades? Some people say that the sect will replace the ancient clan after its downfall.”

“Don’t be ridiculous! They think those forces that had been submissive to the ancient clan were idle? I don’t see those little skirmishes by the sect as a big deal.”

“Well, I heard that this time, the sect is going to officially reveal itself and start recruiting disciples.”

The people around were chattering, clearly curious about this emergent force.

Of course, all this had been heard by Jiang Xiaobai and others.

Upon hearing the chats, Jiang Xiaobai scoffed: “There is indeed something about the sect, but I doubt they have anything exceptional. They couldn’t even show their faces before. Now that the ancient clan has disappeared, they begin to pop out. Isn’t it just a small bug?”

In his view, the sect was now able to stand confidently only because the biggest enemy had disappeared.

They might have accumulated some power in the dark, but it would be absolutely impossible for them to replace the ancient clan.

Although he said that, Jiang Xiaobai was quite interested in the sect.

She already had a follower from the Qian Family. If she could absorb the sect or establish a good relationship with it, it would be a great help in gaining control of the East Territory.

Since they had ventured out, they must make a name for themselves. Taking control of the East Territory was what they should strive for.

As for the Holy City, they would take it into consideration sometime later.

Most of his focus now was on the secret location mentioned by Mu Qingyu.

Without dwelling on it, they started to eat and drink.

Suddenly, there was a hubbub outside.

“Hurry, the Saint Lady from Zijing Pavilion is out!”

“Let’s go! I heard the Saint lady is a matchless beauty, just like a fairy!”

“Great! I came here mainly to see the Saint lady’s face. Finally, here’s the chance!”

Upon hearing the news, everyone inside the restaurant rushed out.

Jiang Xiaobai was a little interested too, but he felt a sudden chill at his side when he turned to look.

The others at the table also became quiet.

“Do you want to go have a look too?”

At this, Jiang Xiaobai turned his head abruptly only to see Ao Yan, her face veil taken off, smiling at him.

But her eyes were full of cold light!
