Chapter 26

all the Chen family members were directly surrounded.

And the only thing waiting for them was death!

This was what Zhao Yuankun called the strong are strong and the weak perish!

If their Chu family had lost,

the other party would also have killed them without hesitation.

"Xiaoyan, come with me to Wu'anzhen later!"

"Since the Chen family dared to take action against us, there is no need for the Chen family in Wu'anzhen to exist!"

"And our family force also needs to expand; let’s start with Wu'anzhen!"

For the sake of safety,

Chu Jingyue still called his son,

after all, his cultivation was higher!

"Yes, Father!"

Chu Yan nodded.

And at this moment,

Long Yuan arrived in the thunderclouds in the center of Qingyangzhen.

Just as Chu Tianyang had said back then,

there were no opportunities inside here.

Besides the raging thunder, there was nothing else.

"The thunder intensity is not very strong, just right for me to stay in here!"

Long Yuan nodded,

intending to move the Long Di Palace into the thunderclouds after breaking through to the Sixth-Order Demon Emperor,

so that in the future, everything in Qingyangzhen would not escape his eyes!

At this time, Chu Tianyang and Chu Yan, with some Chu family powerhouses, sped toward Wu'anzhen,

while Great Elder Chu Hongtu and Second Elder Chu Hongxiao were responsible for family population growth; after all, this was something the Beast God had ordered, and they dared not be the least bit negligent! ===== CHAPTER 63 =====

As for the method,

it was what Long Yuan had mentioned earlier:

either have children or marry wives!

For every child born,

the family would have generous rewards!

And if one were to talk about the fastest speed,

it would naturally be taking wives and concubines!

If a man could take several wives and concubines,

the grand plan of 10,000 people would be realized before long.

So the Chu family began to post notices widely in Qingyangzhen—recruiting for marriage!

Of course,

they did not force anyone;

this kind of thing was voluntary.

And as the only major family in Qingyangzhen, there were naturally countless women who wanted to enter a "wealthy family" or men who wanted to live off a woman.

And the dowry that the Chu family gave casually

was a huge fortune in the eyes of others.

So for a period of time afterward, the Chu family could be said to have one happy event after another,

with women constantly marrying into the Chu family,

and occasionally men marrying into the family,

and sometimes even several pairs of newlyweds getting married on the same day, which was very lively.

The sound of firecrackers rang out,

the sound of gongs and drums filled the sky,

and the banquets were almost constant, which allowed the ordinary people of Qingyangzhen to enjoy a treat.

Where else could they eat such good food usually!

Not only that,

Chu Hongtu and Chu Hongxiao also discussed

that they should not just limit their target to Qingyangzhen, as it was too small; even Wu'anzhen, which had just been completely taken over by the family, became their target.

Wu'anzhen was larger than Qingyangzhen, and the population was also larger, with a full 70,000 to 80,000 people!

But only the Chen family was dominant there,

and after the Chu family exterminated the Chen family,

Wu'anzhen naturally became an affiliated small town of the Chu family.

Not only that,

there were also some surrounding villages and towns.

"First, we must let them know the strength of our Chu family, and the benefits of marrying daughters into our Chu family!"

Chu Hongxiao stroked the beard on his mouth with his thumb and index finger.

The Beast God said,

don't be afraid of exposing strength!

However, to deal with those villages and small towns,

the cultivation of the Ancestor and the Patriarch would be enough to suppress them!

"Perhaps, our goal can be set further!"

Chu Jingyue said.

"The Patriarch means?"

"Yanyang City!"

"Yanyang City?"

Chu Hongtu and the other were slightly shocked.

They could occasionally hear about this place from some martial artists passing through here;

it was said to be a very large city!

There were Fifth-Order Martial King powerhouses there!

They had sent people there before,

but there had been no news.

Because to reach there,

one had to pass through Luoying Valley, where powerful demon beasts were entrenched, and it was impossible to pass without being a Third-Order Martial Master.

But now the strength of their Chu family should be able to pass safely!

"But are the women in those big cities willing to marry into our small town of Qingyangzhen?"

"Hmph! A mountain doesn't have to be high; it is famous if there is an immortal!"

"The strength of our Chu family is here now; let alone the Beast God, the Ancestor will be able to break through to Fifth-Order Martial King before long!"

"Who would dare to look down on our Chu family then?"

"And, although the population of Qingyangzhen is not very large now, with the growth of our Chu family, I believe that Qingyangzhen might become Yanyang City before long!"

Chu Hongtu and Chu Hongxiao looked at each other,

both seeing the ambition in each other’s eyes!

Finally, they discussed

that they would expand the family’s influence to Yanyang City!

"But the most important thing right now is the ceremony in a few days. This is the Beast God’s first public appearance before our entire family, and it is also to let everyone know and recognize the existence of the Beast God!"

"This matter must not be the least bit sloppy!" ===== CHAPTER 64 =====

Now the family had returned to normal operation,

and the most important thing was that that day was the auspicious day they had chosen; if it weren't for this reason, the ceremony could have been held long ago!

"But there is one more thing that requires all of you Elders to participate!"

Chu Jingyue suddenly said with a smile.

"What is it?"

"Drawing lots!"

"What? Drawing lots?"

"That’s right, drawing lots! This involves a heaven-defying opportunity that the Beast God is about to bestow upon you, but the opportunity is limited, and I cannot show favoritism, so I can only use the most primitive method of 'drawing lots'; everything depends on one’s own luck!"

"Oh! Second Elder, you don't need to participate!"

"Why?"

Chu Hongxiao was puzzled;

had he done something wrong?

"You have already been pre-selected by the Beast God!"

"The Beast God should have said before that he would give you an opportunity, so you don't need to participate in this drawing of lots!"

Chu Jingyue said calmly.

"This... when I went with the Beast God to search for the Heavenly Essence Vein last time, the Beast God did indeed say so!"

Chu Hongxiao thought the divine beast had forgotten,

but he didn't expect it to be waiting for him here!

Not long after,

the eight Elders gathered together,

and Chu Jingyue reiterated the matter:

"Everything depends on one’s own luck!"

Except for the Second Elder, Chu Hongxiao,

there were seven Elders remaining to participate in the drawing of lots, and there were only three opportunities!

"Patriarch, can you reveal what kind of opportunity it is?"

The Great Elder asked curiously.

"I promised the Beast God I wouldn't say; I can only tell you that this opportunity will not only greatly increase your strength, but also change your destiny against the heavens!"

"The Ancestor and I both greatly increased our strength because we obtained the opportunity bestowed by the Beast God!"

One sentence immediately made all the Elders breathe rapidly.

So the rapid increase in the strength of the Ancestor and the Patriarch was because of the opportunity bestowed by the Beast God?

In an instant, everyone felt uneasy,

and even the pre-selected Second Elder, Chu Hongxiao, clenched his fists nervously.

He looked forward more and more to what that opportunity was,

that it could be so heaven-defying!

"Start!"

Chu Jingyue took out a box.

"Everyone take a paper ball from inside; if there is a divine beast pattern drawn on it, then congratulations, you have won!"

Then several people reached their hands into the box together.

Then seven paper balls appeared in their hands!

"Open them!"

At this very moment,

their hands were all shaking.

"Everything depends on heaven’s will!"

Chu Hongtu took a deep breath and opened the paper. "Haha, I won, I won!"

It could be seen that the paper ball in his hand had the pattern of a divine beast drawn on it.

Then the others also opened the paper balls in their hands,

and it turned out that only the Seventh Elder, Chu Jianchen, and the Eighth Elder, Chu Yunfei, had the Beast God’s pattern drawn on their paper balls.

Seeing this,

the others could only sigh with regret.

"First, congratulations to the three of you for obtaining the Beast God’s bestowal!"

"Also, others don't need to feel regret; with the divine beast here, there will definitely be various opportunities in the future, and there will be chances then; it’s just a matter of sooner or later!"

Because of time constraints,

only a few people had obtained this qualification now,

and they would have to wait until after the ceremony ended to be bestowed the opportunity by the Beast God!

A few days later,

the ceremony began.

On this day, the Chu family stopped all activities,

and everyone returned to the family,

from the Ancestor down to three-year-old children, all participated in this ceremony.

Even almost everyone in Qingyangzhen was watching,

wanting to see the guardian beast of the Chu family!

It was just that everyone didn't understand:

wasn't the Chu family’s guardian beast in the depths of the Chu family?

Why was it facing the Qingyang Lake in the center of Qingyangzhen?

Rumble!

Accompanied by bursts of thunder,

Long Yuan’s huge head extended down from the thunderclouds above Qingyang Lake! ===== CHAPTER 65 =====
