The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 334: Five Families of Jianye
The first day of February.

As soon as the sky brightened, a spring breeze blew across the earth, and the long winter was finally over.

Inside and outside Jianye City, many branches grew a touch of green, bringing a new vitality to the world.

At this moment, the weather was still a little chilly, but the people in the city ignored it and were still immersed in the joy of receiving the news.

The collapse of the Tianli Sect was a relief to everyone.

Although there is still a small tail left, that is something that the dignitaries need to worry about.

The common people only knew that the Tianli Sect was gone, and the White Lotus Mother was gone too. They didn't want to think about things too far in the future, they only knew that peaceful days had come again.

"Brother, don't you think the King of Yue is too lucky?"

The two brothers of the Xiao family of Broken Sword Villa, who had said they would leave after the ceremony, were still staying in the largest restaurant in the city with their disciples.

After they finished washing up, they went to the lobby on the second floor, sat down at a random table, and ordered a table full of delicious wine, food, and medicinal cuisine.

Xiao Qianfeng said casually after picking up the chopsticks, his face showing indescribable emotion.

When Yu Jiaolong announced her marriage to Fang Xun on the spot at the end of the succession ceremony, the two brothers decided to stay in Jianye City for some time.

Anyway, the family will definitely send them two to bring gifts when the time comes. Instead of making an extra trip, it would be better for them to stay in Jianye City and return after the King of Yue's wedding.

There are many outsiders like them who are still staying in Jianye City, all waiting for Yu Jiaolong and Fang Xun to get married.

Five days have passed since the fighting on the front lines subsided.

The news of the demise of the Tianli Sect spread in all directions like wings, and Jianye City had already received the news.

When Xiao Qianfeng received the news, especially the news of Wan Ziqi's death, he felt relieved, but also felt that Yu Jiaolong and Fang Xun were so lucky.

He had just offended a Zhenwu realm expert to death, but within a few days, this Zhenwu realm expert died.

The huge threat that the Prince of Yue's Palace was about to face was instantly eliminated.

Before, those who were preparing to attend the wedding banquet of King Yue did not think highly of each other, they were just doing it for show.

But now after receiving the news, his attitude changed immediately.

Xiao Wanren just smiled at his brother's sigh and said, "No matter what, how to deal with the new King of Yue in the future is something that Dad should consider. The two of us just need to follow the etiquette."

Xiao Qianfeng looked around at this time and saw that some warriors had come to the lobby in the early morning and ordered a table of food and wine like them.

After scanning the area, Xiao Qianfeng lowered his voice and said, "Brother, do you think there is any connection between this ghost-faced man Quezhou Yifandu and the Prince of Yue's Palace? What about the Buddhist martial arts that Fang Xun once demonstrated?"

"Silence!"

Xiao Wanren's face changed. He couldn't interrupt his brother right after he finished speaking.

"The King of Yue has already publicly clarified the matter. It was just that they had a deal with the Ghost-Faced Man and obtained a copy of the Buddhist Zhenwu Manual. There is no evidence for this kind of thing, so don't make groundless assumptions!"

Xiao Qianfeng stopped talking immediately and continued chatting about other topics, but his mind was still full of thoughts.

"I just don't know how the Confucian school will react, but this new King of Yue has previously plundered the Jiangnan Academy, and it seems that the relationship between him and the Confucian school is not very good."

At this time, not only the two brothers, but almost everyone in the streets and alleys of Jianye City was talking about the major events that happened on the front line five days ago.

A mysterious man named Quezhou Yifandu suddenly intervened and led to the destruction of the Tianli Sect. Two Zhenwu land immortals also died in the process. Everyone who received the news was shocked.

It’s been less than half a month since the Heavenly Ranking came out and Zhenwu has fallen. This is a huge event.

Inside the Prince of Yue's mansion, however, lights and decorations were everywhere, and the servants were busy preparing for the Prince of Yue's wedding which would be held soon.

Yu Jiaolong met with the governor of Wuzhou and several powerful family heads in the city in a lobby. Jianye City is the center of the eight states in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many big families in the city, and there are more than 20 families that can be named.

Excluding the Prince of Yue's Palace, the five most powerful families, Wen, Xie, Liu, Xu and Bai, are collectively known as the Five Surnames of Jianye.

Before the spiritual energy was revived, each family had more than one Yin Shen master in charge.

Although he is far inferior to the thirty-six and seven families, he is still a celebrity in Wuzhou and even in Jiangnan.

After his spiritual energy was revived, the head of the Yin Shen master of the Wen family took advantage of the good opportunity to break through to the Yang Shen.

The Wen family's prestige soared, and there was a tendency for them to surpass the other five families and become the largest family in Wuzhou.

In the lobby, Yu Jiaolong sat firmly in the main seat with a majestic figure, dressed in a black dress with gold patterns. She looked majestic without even showing any anger.

Among them was a middle-aged man with a very tall stature. He seemed to have developed a calm demeanor from being in a high position for a long time. He looked to be around 40 years old, but was actually over 150 years old.

“Thinking back to when the world was in chaos more than three hundred years ago, the ancestors of my Wen family were just refugees who followed Taizu to conquer the world.

Later, he left the capital with the first King of Yue and came to this prosperous area in the south of the Yangtze River. He also laid the current huge foundation with great efforts.

Looking back, we can see that it is all due to the hard work of generations of ancestors that we have today’s luxurious living.”

This man was none other than Wen Clan’s Yangshen Grandmaster who had recently achieved a breakthrough, and the patriarch of the Wen Clan, Wen Ruhui.

The others were also looking at her, and Yu Jiaolong listened to Wen Ruhui and his group's long speech with a calm expression, but she sneered in her heart.

"When Wan Wenci was here, you didn't come to make friends. Now that Wan Ziqi is dead, you all can't wait to come out!"

Although she knew that this was human nature and that Wan Ziqi was around at the time and almost no one dared to get close to her, Yu Jiaolong still felt a little uneasy.

Moreover, the other party and others came here today probably not just to make friends.

There were six other people in the hall besides her, including the heads of the Wen, Xie, Liu, Xu, and Bai families, as well as Zhao Qingquan, the governor of Wuzhou.

After Wen Ruhui reminisced about the past for a while, Yu Jiaolong spoke.

"The Five Nobles of Jianye have a close relationship with my family. I will never forget this. But I don't know why the five heads of the family and Zhao Zhizhou came to visit together this time?"

“It’s not a big deal.”

The six people looked at each other after hearing this, and finally Wen Ruhui hesitated for a moment before speaking.

After hearing this, Yu Jiaolong immediately said, "Since it's not a big deal, but a small matter, just tell Mr. Li and his subordinates will take care of it."

As he spoke, he picked up the tea at hand and took a sip. His intention to serve tea to see the guest off was obvious, which immediately made the other six people frown slightly.

"Your Majesty, although it is a small matter, it can only be done if you ask for it yourself."

At this time, Zhao Qingquan suddenly gritted his teeth and spoke.

Yu Jiaolong glanced at him, put down the teacup and said lightly.

"Although the Tianli Sect was destroyed overnight, it left behind a lot of messes that are difficult for me to deal with. I am very busy with official duties, so please speak directly if you have anything to say."

After hearing this, Zhao Qingquan organized his words in his mind before speaking.

"Then I will make it short. I came here because of the matter of Jiangnan Academy. Although Mr. Zhengde made a mistake due to confusion, which led to his loss of integrity in his later years, the other teachers and teachers in the academy are all innocent.

I, your humble servant, am so shameless. I hope that Your Majesty can revoke your order and let everyone from Jiangnan Academy go."
