Chapter 222 Hong Family Banquet
To the east of Yuanshan City is the Hong family's residence.
Today is the 500th birthday of Hong Qianzhong, the ancestor of the Hong family. All the famous families in Yuanshan City sent representatives to attend the birthday banquet to celebrate this powerful old man.
Speaking of which, this can be considered a strange phenomenon in Wonshan City.
Among Yuan Zong, the strong ones in the middle stage of Qi gathering tend to have deep feelings for their families and take great care of their families, which makes the families grow and develop in Yuanshan City.
But in the later stage of Qi gathering, due to Shouyuan's relationship, the relationship with the family will gradually fade away.
After all, the lifespan of an ordinary person at the second or third level of Qi gathering is only about three hundred years, while the lifespan of a powerful person at the later stage of Qi gathering can be as long as a thousand years.
When hundreds of years passed, the people familiar to the late Qi Gathering Master gradually disappeared, and his family actually had little to do with him.
This kind of family is often slowly replaced by upstarts.
On the contrary, families that reproduced in the middle stage of Qi gathering, because of their longevity relationship and deep feelings, can develop and grow with the help of strong people.
This is the case with the Hong family.
Under the protection of Hong Qianzhong, the Hong family became one of the most famous families in Yuanshan City.
The representatives of various families who came to celebrate their birthdays were usually at the second or third level of Qi gathering, which showed that they attached great importance to this matter.
"The head of the Zhang family, Zhang Dongxuan, is here!"
"The head of the Li family, Li Mo, is here!"
As the names were sung one after another, many guests came in an endless stream.
Hong Rong, the head of the Hong family, stood in front of the door to greet guests with a smile. No matter who he met, he greeted everyone with a smile and was very warm.
If you don’t know, you might think that this is a kind and honest elder.
But all the heads of the major families in Yuanshan City know very well that this is an old fox who eats people without spitting out their bones.
At the beginning, as one of the top three sects, the Beast Yuan Sect had such a prominent status that it was almost comparable to the top families in Yuanshan City.
It was Hong Rong, the old fox, who suppressed the Beast Yuan Sect until it was unable to raise its head in the name of finding trouble for Hong Tiansheng.
In just a few years, the Beast Yuan Sect's thousand-year efforts were wasted, and it fell to the last place in the upper three sects.
The brighter Hong Rong's smile became, the more frightened the heads of the family became.
This old fox has nothing to do with being so cunning.
However, soon after, the smile on Hong Rong's face solidified.
"Shengsheng, come here! It's my ancestor's birthday. If you can't stay at home peacefully, why are you running out?"
Only seeing Hong Tiansheng could make Hong Rong unhappy.
After all, it wasn't just once or twice that he caused trouble for the family.
But this time Hong Tiansheng shook off the folding fan and said with a smile: "I went out to find a birthday gift for the ancestor. I'm sure the ancestor will like it..."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and someone pushed the expressionless Xiao Jiuer up.
Seeing Xiao Jiuer's delicate face, Hong Rong's eyes also lit up, "Good boy, as you have a filial piety, arrange a secret room to wash up first, and wait for the ancestor to favor you..."
If anyone heard the conversation between these two people, their jaw would definitely drop.
It turns out that Hong Tiansheng's reputation as a playboy was entirely due to Hong Qianzhong, the ancestor of the Hong family.
Those poor little girls were all harmed by Hong Qianzhong.
However, Hong Qianzhong was the Supreme Elder of Yuanzong, and he had to cherish his feathers and worry about his reputation, so Hong Tiansheng could only bear this bad reputation.
Of course, Hong Tiansheng is not a good person either.
Occasionally, a little girl was tortured to death by Hong Qianzhong, and Hong Tiansheng was happy to share his ancestor's happiness.
Hong Tiansheng smiled and nodded, leading Xiao Jiuer towards the inner courtyard of the Hong family residence.
"Bah! What the hell, your smile is as disgusting as that old fox!"
In the distance, someone spat heavily in the direction Hong Tiansheng left.
Obviously, the reputation of the Hong family is not very good even among the major families in Yuanshan City.
"Brother Jin, be careful! Today is the birthday of the ancestor of the Hong family. If he knows about it, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble..."
Someone grabbed the indignant head of the Jin family.
The head of the Jin family, Jin Huayi, snorted coldly and said no more, but the look he looked at Hong Tiansheng was still full of contempt.
In the hall, more than ten heads of major families in Yuanshan City have already taken their seats according to their status.
Sitting on the main seat is naturally the protagonist of this birthday banquet, the ancestor of the Hong family, Hong Qianzhong.
Sitting below him were Li Mo, the head of the Li family, and Jin Huayi, the head of the Jin family.
The two major families have prominent status and are not inferior to the Hong family.
As time went by, more and more guests arrived one after another.
As the head of the Hong family, Hong Rong also returned to the hall to host the birthday banquet.
Hong Qianzhong squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the guests below, but his eyes were cold.
"Ancestor..."
Hong Rong stepped forward to salute and asked for instructions whether to start the birthday banquet.
"No one came..."
Ignoring Hong Rong's request, Hong Qianzhong spat out a few words with an indifferent expression.
Although the voice was soft, the heads of the families present were all powerful at gathering energy. How could they not hear these words? Their expressions became stiff.
They naturally knew what Hong Qianzhong meant.
Not one of them came... I'm talking about the ancestors of each family!
The major families in Yuanshan City sent their heads to the banquet, which seemed to be of extremely high standard, and they seemed to attach great importance to Hong Qianzhong.
But none of the ancestors from the various families who were in the middle stage of Qi Gathering came.
It was equivalent to letting Hong Qianzhong "play" with these juniors. One can imagine how annoyed Hong Qianzhong was.
However, the family heads had no intention of explaining. Quan Dang didn't hear Hong Qianzhong's words. Some of them were drinking tea, some were drinking, and some were chatting with the people around them, looking very lively.
Hong Qianzhong rubbed the jade ring on his finger, swept his indifferent eyes over everyone's faces, and finally sneered.
Hong Rong coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention.
"Everyone, in addition to birthday celebrations for our ancestors, there is actually one more thing that I need to say hello to all the family heads in advance..."
Just one sentence made everyone present's ears perk up.
Hong Rong said with a smile: "I think you have all heard about what happened at the foot of Yuanzong Mountain a few days ago. Wuji Sect and Wanjian Sect, the people who came here are not good..."
The family heads listened silently and said nothing.
The Wuji Sect and Wanjian Sect are naturally evil.
On that day, if Han Yang of the Yuan Sect had not suddenly emerged, killed Nalan Weiwo with his sword, and thwarted the genius of the Wan Jian Sect, the Yuan Sect would have suffered a huge fall.
In fact, even the peerless genius Yi Lanyue, who was famous in Xuan Mansion and dominated the Bone Forging Realm, might fall into the hands of Nalan Weiwo.
All the big families were very shocked.
But, what does this have to do with the major families?
They are not from Yuanzong...
Just when the family heads were puzzled, Hong Rong said: "The Hong family received news that among the thirty-six main cities under Yuan Zong's rule, the city lords of thirteen major cities were assassinated, and more than sixty family patriarchs died unexpectedly. …”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.
They didn't care what happened to Yuan Zong, but they felt the pain when the city lords and clan leaders in other big cities were assassinated.
Amid the noise of the crowd, Hong Rong said loudly: "So, our Hong family proposes to form a wartime alliance to spend this difficult time together. Our Hong family..."
Before Hong Rong finished speaking, many family heads had already understood Hong Rong's intention.
The Hong family, do you want to dominate Yuanshan City?
Who gave them the courage...
Just when Hong Rong's eyes were bright and he was about to preach the Hong family's alliance strategy, something happened suddenly.
Boom!
A huge roar sounded, and a sword light lit up in the direction of the Hong family's mansion door.
The screen wall, which symbolized the millennium glory of the Hong family, was chopped into pieces with a single knife.
