Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 427: Chapter 219: Peril of Annihilation, Negotiation, the Dragon and Phoenix Void Cauldron’s Display of Power (Part 2)

In front of a Foundation Establishment Powerhouse.

I’m afraid the entire Liuu Family is truly going to meet its end here.

Liuu Mingyun quickly said:

”The Yangg Family is invading, elders, quickly inform.....”

Halfway through his words.

Liuu Mingyun abruptly stopped speaking.

And turned to look at Liuu Meizhen.

He was clearly taken aback by the unexpected move of the Yangg Family, forgetting there was such a powerful figure in his own family. A glimmer of hope shot out from Liuu Mingyun’s eyes!

Since Liuu Meizhen was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, all problems would be easily resolved.

Liuu Mingyun cupped his hands and said:

”Cousin, please help save our entire family in Anyang County. In return, our Talisman Array Masters in Taiyun County are willing to assist you, traveling to Jingzhou to inscribe arrays.”

All the elders present nodded repeatedly.

Their eyes were fixed on Liuu Meizhen, fearing she might utter the word ”no”.

Liuu Meizhen glanced at the Yangg Family’s flying ship, which stopped its advance after crossing the Liuli River, seemingly waiting for something. She immediately turned and said:

”Clan Leader Liuu, are the lives of your entire family in Taiyun County worth merely a wall of talisman arrays?”

If it weren’t for Liuu Meizhen’s presence today.

The entire Liuu Family would surely face destruction.

Liuu Mingyun understood the underlying message.

He quickly regained his senses.

Although this Foundation Establishment cultivator shared Liuu blood, she wasn’t raised by the Taiyun County Liuu Family. Since the passing of their great ancestor, they never thought of bringing her back from Jingzhou; they had no standing to negotiate terms at this time.

Liuu Mingyun quickly clarified his position.

Immediately said:

”Senior, I was impulsive just now.”

Liuu Meizhen’s arrival was too coincidental.

Just when the Yangg Family’s Foundation Establishment cultivator approached during their crisis in Taiyun County, meaning.

This woman surely had more in mind than just helping with the city wall inscription:

”Senior, currently our Taiyun County Liuu Family is like a floating weed in the wind. We plead for your assistance. In the future, no matter the challenge, we will heed your command and fulfill any request without hesitation.”

Indeed, a wise person.

Liuu Meizhen did not beat around the bush, proceeding directly to the point:

”Clan Leader Liuu, I have traveled a long distance to reach Taiyun County to bestow upon your family a great opportunity. As long as you agree to the following conditions, you shall soon become the foremost Qi Cultivation Family in Taiyun County.”

”Senior, regardless of the conditions, our Liuu Family is willing to accept them!”

The Yangg Family is right at the mountain’s foot.

They had no leverage to negotiate at this time.

Furthermore, Liuu Mingyun had no leisure to consider it.

Liuu Meizhen calmly said:

”After the Yangg Family crossed the Liuli River, they remained inactive, clearly waiting for an insider among you to open the array. If the Yangg Family attacks, there is still time. You need not hurry, and even if they do attack, they would be walking into a trap with me here.”

The implication was.

She was willing to lend a helping hand.

But before that, conditions needed to be settled.

Liuu Mingyun took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and cupped his hands:

”Senior, what conditions do you propose?”

He remained composed and collected.

Liuu Meizhen nodded appreciatively.

Avoiding any detours, she said directly:

”The first condition is naturally what I stated initially; your talisman array masters in Taiyun County, those who have advanced, will accompany me back to Jingzhou. But rest assured, once the city wall inscriptions are complete, I will surely send you back to Taiyun County safely, without insisting on your participation against the Beast Tide.”

”Of course,

as compensation, I will help you seize the territory of the Yangg Family.”

”However, in the future, the Liuu Family in Taiyun County must remit one and a half percent of the territory’s profits annually to demonstrate your sincerity. Your Young Clan Leader in Taiyun County will need to be appointed by us. You may select three young family members to train at our Fu Family’s fief without charge.”

Upon hearing this.

The Grand Elder nearly slammed the table in anger.

This clearly made the Liuu Family a subordinate power.

Moreover, they needed to send three hostages.

The Grand Elder thought Liuu Meizhen was taking advantage of their calamity, but dared not voice his objections.

After all.

Even if Liuu Meizhen made more excessive demands, they had no choice.

Unlike the other furious elders, Liuu Mingyun quickly caught onto one particular information and said excitedly:

”Senior, if I heard correctly, you mentioned taking our Liuu clan members to the Fu Family’s fief?”

Only noble families enfeoffed by the Court have a fief.

But why is the fief under the surname Fu, not Liuu?

Liuu Meizhen nodded gently:

”Correct, it is the Fu Family’s fief. Besides being born into the Liuu Family in Anyang County, I am also the Lady of the House of the Ninth-Grade Noble Family Fu in Yunshan and Pingshan Counties!”

What?!

Everyone present was utterly astonished.

Especially Liuu Mingyun.

Never in his wildest dreams.

Did he imagine that their Liuu bloodline produced a Ninth-Grade Family Matriarch? Although they were currently a subordinate family of the Ninth-Grade Tangg Family, since the Yangg Family sent several daughters to marry as concubines to the Grand Elder of the Tangg Family, gaining favor, the Tangg Family had been favoring the Yangg Family, secretly inflicting countless silent losses upon the Liuu Family.

Thus, Liuu Meizhen’s role today.

Was merely intended to deter the Yangg Family from further aggression.

However.

If Liuu Meizhen is indeed the Ninth-Grade Family Matriarch, the situation changes.

Being both Ninth-Grade.

Even if the Tangg Family knew that Liuu Meizhen had slain the Yangg Clan Leader, knowing her husband’s family’s status, they would naturally not dare to retaliate in the future.
