Chapter 5
Two days passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the young sect master of the Beastmaster Sect to hold his coming-of-age ceremony.
Chen Yang and the others were also prepared. In order to attend the junior sect master’s coming-of-age ceremony, Chen Yang even specially dressed up to show his respect.
He was dressed in a white shirt with light blue patterns and golden threads, making the originally handsome Chen Yang look like an immortal on earth.
“Family Head is really dashing. If this young sect master was a woman, she would probably abandon the sect’s foundation and run away with Family Head.”
Chen Xuan sized up Chen Yang and smiled.
“Alright, First Elder, stop flattering me. Let’s get down to business.” Chen Yang fanned himself and led the First Elder to the Beastmaster Sect.
As a ninth-grade aristocratic family, the Chen family could only send two people to participate in the young sect master’s celebration.
Chen Yang naturally had to participate, and as the strongest person in the Chen family, Chen Xuan, who was at the peak of Qi Refinement, definitely had to participate.
The two of them held the invitation to the Beastmaster Sect and arrived at the square where the celebration was held.
The Beastmaster Sect was located in the mountains, so it was not easy to find a flat area. Naturally, it had to be used as a square for the celebration.
When they reached the square, the two of them quickly found the table where the Chen family was and quickly sat down.
“Isn’t this the new head of the Chen family? Gongsun Miao here greets the Chen family head.”
Chen Yang had just sat down when he heard a strange sound from his left.
He looked over and saw a luxuriously dressed middle-aged man with a mustache staring at him with a smile.
At the side, Chen Xuan whispered, “Family Head, this person is the master of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Miao. Sitting beside him is the Patriarch of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Mang.”
“So it’s the Gongsun family head. Chen Yang greets the Gongsun family head and the Gongsun family’s Patriarch.” Chen Yang cupped his fists and acted friendly.
Gongsun Miao also cupped his hands, but Gongsun Mang pretended not to hear him and continued to sit quietly with his eyes closed.
After greeting Gongsun Miao, Chen Yang immediately closed his eyes and ignored Gongsun Miao.
Although Gongsun Miao was angry, he did not dare to be impudent here. He immediately snorted and went to talk to the other families.
Soon, all the families participating in the celebration arrived. The celebration officially began.
“I’m extremely grateful that everyone is able to attend my son’s coming-of-age ceremony.” After everyone arrived, an expert emitting a terrifying aura walked over from the end of the square.
Beside this powerhouse was a young man.
These two people were the Sect Master and Young Sect Master of the Beastmaster Sect.
“Greetings, Sect Master Wang!”
With a shout, Sect Master Wang brought his son to the main seat.
“Enjoy yourselves, everyone.”
Under Sect Master Wang’s lead, everyone raised their glasses and drank heartily.
Chen Yang also took the opportunity to check on the guests.
Sect Master Wang sat facing the south. To his right were the various large families in Jiangzhou, and to his left were the experts of the Beastmaster Sect.
The seats of the aristocratic families were also very impressive. Firstly, the four eighth-grade aristocratic families attached to the Beastmaster Sect naturally sat in front.
These four eighth-grade aristocratic families were located in the Beast City and had undying loyalty to the Beastmaster Sect.
The remaining eighth-grade aristocratic families located in the various counties were vassals of the Qian Dynasty Royal Family.
There was also information here that was not commonly known. Logically speaking, all the aristocratic families and sects in the royal family were vassals of the royal family.
However, ordinary families and sects were not worthy of being vassals of the Qian Dynasty Royal Family. Only by becoming an eighth-grade aristocratic family would they be qualified to be vassals of the Qian Dynasty Royal Family.
Back to business.
After the 16 eighth-grade families in Jiangzhou sat down, only the ninth-grade families were left.
There were more than a hundred ninth-grade aristocratic families in Jiangzhou. Sitting in front were naturally the vassal families of the Beastmaster Sect.
As the Chen family’s Patriarch’s master, Venerable Dao Xuan, was quite powerful in the Beastmaster Sect, the Chen family’s seat was relatively close to the front and was ranked fifth among the ninth-grade aristocratic families.
After the host and guest had their fun, the highlight came.
Under everyone’s gaze, Young Sect Master Wang wore a crown and became an adult, qualified to inherit the Beastmaster Sect.
Next, it was time for the various aristocratic families to present their gifts.
According to the seating arrangement, the aristocratic families congratulated Young Sect Master Wang one after another. Chen Yang could not help but clench his fists. Success or failure depended on this.
The aristocratic families presented their gifts one after another, allowing everyone to feast their eyes.
Precious Tier 8 spirit herbs and spirit weapons were given to Young Sect Master Wang as if they were free.
Even the four eighth-grade aristocratic families affiliated with the Beastmaster Sect offered seventh-grade spirit weapons, shocking everyone.
“Next, let’s welcome the Gongsun family!”
Hearing this voice, Chen Yang looked at the Gongsun family. He wondered what gift the Gongsun family would give…
Although the Gongsun family was a ninth-grade aristocratic family, like the Chen family, the masters of the two Patriarchs were also quite powerful in the Beastmaster Sect.
Many people knew about the conflict between the Gongsun family and the Chen family. They were very curious about what gift the Gongsun family would offer.
If the gift was precious, even the Beastmaster Sect would intervene to help the Gongsun family annex the Chen family.
“Gongsun Mang greets the Sect Master and Young Sect Master. Today, I present the peak eighth-grade defensive spirit artifact, the Flowing Light Armor, to congratulate the Young Sect Master!”
Gongsun Mang took out a golden armor from his storage bag and placed it respectfully on the table.
“What? It’s actually a peak eighth-stage defensive spirit artifact? Where did the Gongsun family get it?”
Seeing the Gongsun family offer a peak eighth-stage defensive spirit artifact, everyone was shocked.
In the category of spirit artifacts, defensive spirit artifacts were especially valuable. In terms of value, a peak eighth-rank defensive spirit artifact was already comparable to a seventh-rank spirit artifact.
How could anyone not be shocked that the Gongsun family offered such a precious treasure?
Even the eighth-grade families looked at the Gongsun family.
The Gongsun family had offered such a precious treasure and was a vassal family of the Beastmaster Sect. They would probably have to pay more attention to it in the future.
“The Chen family is really finished this time. The Gongsun family has offered such a heavy gift. I’m afraid they want to cut off the Chen family’s chance to seek help from the Beastmaster Sect.”
“That’s right. Logically speaking, the two families are both vassal families of the Beastmaster Sect. If there are any sharp conflicts, the Beastmaster Sect will definitely mediate.
And the Gongsun family’s heavy gift has completely blocked the possibility of mediation.”
For a moment, everyone looked at the Chen family with pity.
Sect Master Wang glanced at the Flowing Light Armor and said indifferently, “The Gongsun family is considerate.”.
Hearing Sect Master Wang’s words, Gongsun Mang fell into ecstasy. Although Sect Master Wang’s attitude did not change, he was undoubtedly satisfied with the Gongsun family’s performance.
The sect would probably not stop them from annexing the Chen family. In fact, they might even help.
With such a feeling in his heart, Gongsun Mang’s footsteps became much lighter. He glanced at Chen Yang and Chen Xuan, his eyes filled with disdain.
