A few days later.
Jian Province.
The entire manor was located halfway up Mount Taifeng.
The scenery here was pleasant and the four seasons were like spring.
The manor was huge, and its splendor and extravagance were comparable to a palace!
The name of the manor was Yu Village!
This place often opened its doors to entertain heroes of the Jianghu.
Moreover, he was a man of great prestige in the Jian Province!
In the Jian Province alone, there were countless sects that were on good terms with it.
There were countless martial artists who owed him favors!
At this moment.
Yu Village, in the meeting hall.
Sitting inside were nearly a hundred old men.
They were people of extremely high seniority in the Yu Clan's main branch!
Sitting on the main seat was the head of the Yu family, Empress Yu's father.
Yu Xiong River.
He held a Vital Blood Stone in his hand.
His face was as dark as ink.
"You should know the news of my daughter's death.”
"And that trash Yu Feng led his troops to attack the Imperial City and also lost.”
"Now, His Majesty has sent people to attack us. What do you think?”
Yu Xiong Jiang's voice didn't have a hint of sadness.
There was only worry for the future.
And a monstrous rage!
His daughter was Yu Hou.
Empress Yu's death did not affect his emotions at all.
After all, he was a businessman and had many wives and concubines.
He had ten or twenty children.
He did not have any deep feelings for any of them.
To him, Empress Yu was just a stepping stone for him to climb up!
In recent years.
Empress Yu was in charge of the Imperial Court, and as the Emperor's father-in-law and Empress Yu's father, he was in the Jian Province.
Relying on his various methods of doing business and his relationship with Empress Yu.
He would take root here, build relationships, and strengthen himself.
He had actually developed the Jian Province into the territory of the Yu Family!
It could be said that in this place.
He was the Emperor of the Jian Province!
With a stomp of his foot, the entire Jian Province would tremble.
He originally thought that he could continue to extend his hands and feet to the other prefectures.
However, at this moment…
Something happened to Empress Yu!
The Vitality Spirit Stone was boiling hot, which meant that the bound host had been poisoned and lost his life.
And now, Empress Yu was dead.
The Yu Family would definitely welcome the retribution of the Imperial Court!
This time, the clan meeting was held.
It was to discuss how to deal with it!
"He said that His Majesty is seriously ill? Why is there such a method?"
"I'm afraid he's pretending. His goal is to let Empress Yu let down her guard!”
"Hmph, even if His Majesty is tough, it's only limited to his territory…The Jian Province is our territory!”
"Your Majesty, if you want to deal with us, you have to think twice. Do you have the ability?”
In the hall, a few elders cursed angrily, their faces filled with arrogance.
His tone was extremely arrogant!
There was no fear in his heart!
He didn't put the Taichu Emperor in his eyes at all!
The Jian Province was the province of warriors.
Almost everyone cultivated martial arts.
There were countless powerful martial artists.
Furthermore, there were many mountain ranges in the Jian Province. It was difficult for a large number of troops to cross the mountains and sea.
If His Majesty brings an army over…
This delay in the journey had given them time to move.
If His Majesty only sent a small number of experts over…
He was even more fearless!
There were hundreds of warriors in their Yu Village.
Not to mention, there were many sect experts who were on good terms with them.
If the Emperor dared to stretch out his hand, they would dare to cut off this hand!
These hot-tempered elders were the main supporters of the Yu Clan.
They occupied the vast majority of the meeting hall.
"Why don't we surrender to His Majesty? In order to avoid trouble, His Majesty might let us go and become a noble.”
A scholarly old man frowned slightly with a hint of worry.
Compared to the others, he was calmer.
After thinking about it carefully, he found the problem.
One had to know that Empress Yu controlled the Imperial Court while Yu Feng controlled the military.
Such an absolute advantage was actually killed by His Majesty.
Such a person with such methods probably couldn't be dealt with by common sense!
If they surrendered now, perhaps the Yu Family could survive.
If he insisted on doing things his way, he would probably have no descendants and no more descendants!
However, there were very few people like him who advocated peace.
There were more than ten people in the entire meeting hall.
He was the only one who suggested surrendering with a worried expression.
However, just as he finished speaking.
A few hot-tempered elders stood up in anger and pointed at his nose, cursing.
His words were extremely unpleasant to hear.
The entire hall became noisy.
On the main seat, Yu Xiongjiang slowly stood up.
He frowned and suppressed the displeasure in his heart.
"Stop arguing…since we don't agree, let's agree.”
After saying that, his eyes erupted with intense killing intent!
His face was filled with ruthlessness!
Then, his palm suddenly stretched out, extremely fast and fierce!
He directly grabbed the elegant old man who had just spoken!
Crack!
He exerted strength in his palm, and a crisp sound rang out.
The elegant old man's neck was broken.
As soon as he let go, the corpse fell to the ground, lifeless.
The meeting hall instantly fell silent.
The elegant old man was Yu Xiong Jiang's cousin.
They actually had different opinions and directly attacked!
Such cold-blooded and unyielding methods.
Everyone was so frightened that they did not dare to speak again.
They were afraid that the next one to die would be them!
"In this way, our opinions are unified.”
"Anyone who dares to surrender will die!"
Yu Xiongjiang slowly withdrew his hand.
His tone was extremely cold.
His killing intent was boiling!
He had been the emperor of the Jian Province for a long time.
He was extremely infatuated with this kind of power that could be answered with a single call. How could he give it up so easily?
"Pass down my orders. Send out invitations to heroes from all walks of life to protect the Yu Family Residence!”
"There are also a few Grandmasters who owe us a lot of favors. This time, we naturally have to let them contribute!”
"Don't forget, although the Imperial Court is powerful, we still have a backup plan!”
Yu Xiongjiang's face was gloomy as he spoke slowly.
"That's right. We can summon several Grandmasters, so what does the Imperial Court have to fear?”
The others who were originally silent and did not dare to speak.
Hearing this, their eyes lit up.
With so many Grandmasters guarding the place, even the Emperor would be helpless against them!
Not to mention, they had already set off to find a new backer!
Regardless of the price, by hook or by crook!
On the Black Tortoise Continent, he had found a force that was even stronger than the Taichu Dynasty.
Protect them!
This time, the Emperor had sent people to attack them.
As long as they could deal with this wave and buy time.
With the protection of a new force, even the Taichu Dynasty would not dare to act rashly!
Then the Yu Family would be able to occupy the Jian Province and become the king!
To stand against the Imperial Court!
