Chapter 1300: Da Shuo Dynasty

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a green robe flew out of the city below. He was also a Celestial State cultivator. He cupped his fist toward Liu Ming and said,

“Sir must be Qing Family’s new family master Liu Ming. It must have been a long journey!”

“You are?” Liu Ming stopped and asked.

Qing Fang and the rest of the Qing Family’s cultivators behind him also stopped.

“Hehe, I’m at Liu Junyan. Under the order of my family master, I’m waiting here for the family masters who have been summoned. Mr. Liu, please come with me. I have prepared a resting place for you all.” The middle-aged man in a green robe said with a slight smile and fell toward the city below.

Liu Ming’s eyes flicked, and he led the Qing Family’s cultivators to follow.

There were so many buildings in You Rong City. They seemed to be built recently. It was not a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

The middle-aged man in a green robe brought Liu Ming and others to an area in the eastern part of the city. There were more than a dozen gray buildings here. Although they didn’t look very good, they were enough to accommodate more than a hundred people of the Qing Family.

“Everyone from the Qing Family can rest here. The building is a bit shabby, so please don’t take offense.” The middle-aged man in a green robe said apologetically.

“Sir doesn’t have to be so polite. We didn’t come here for enjoyment. I wonder how the battle is going on the front line?” Liu Ming chuckled, then he asked with a solemn gaze.

When he entered the city just now, he took a few glances in the direction of the distant enemy camp. The camp opposite was shrouded in black air. Someone clearly used mystic art to cover it up.

“There is only a small-scale contact at the moment. The other party seems not to be planning to attack on a large scale. Our side is well prepared, so it is relatively safe so far.” The middle-aged man in a green robe said with a solemn face after hearing Liu Ming’s question.

Hearing this, Liu Ming nodded slowly.

“As of today, many family masters have rushed over. They are all discussing matters in the hall at the moment. If Family Master Liu has time, why not go over and meet everyone.” The middle-aged man in a green robe said again.

“That’s good.” Liu Ming nodded instantly, then he ordered Qing Fang to arrange for the rest of the people to settle down here, and he and the middle-aged man in a green robe walked side by side toward a hall in the center of the city.

“Do you know which aristocratic families have already arrived in the city?” As Liu Ming walked, he asked seemingly casually.

“Currently all the large aristocratic families from the Zang State have arrived. Among the other states, only several families from the Yu State and Yong State arrived yesterday.” The middle-aged man in a green robe said so.

Liu Ming’s eyes flashed, then he nodded.

According to the words of the middle-aged man in a green robe, the cultivators gathered in You Rong City at the moment were no more than the force of 1 state. Even with the troops sent by the Liu Family, compared with the 3 state rebels on the opposite side, their strength was quite inferior.

However, at this moment, families from several nearby states were gradually rushing to You Rong City. In the face of such a large rebellion, it was impossible for central imperial to sit idly by. As long as they survived for a while, the situation would be greatly improved.

Thinking of this, Liu Ming felt a little more relaxed.

“May I know which senior from the Liu Family is taking charge of the You Rong City at this moment?” He suddenly remembered something and asked the middle-aged man in a green robe.

“After the rebellion of the Li State, Chi State and Kuo State, Lord Demon Emperor is furious. In order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, my Liu Family Master personally comes to the You Rong City. In addition, a Mystic Comprehending State great elder from my family is also in the city. Mr. Liu will be able to meet him later.” The middle-aged man in a green robe said with a chuckle.

“It’s really great that Family Master Liu is personally guarding the city. With the power of your family master, the mere rebellion will be put down soon.” Liu Ming’s eyes flashed with surprise, then he said with a laugh.

While chatting, they soon arrived outside the main hall in the center of the city. They walked into the hall, made a few turns, and came to a bright hall.

The hall was very s.p.a.cious with dozens of wide chairs placed in the hall. About 30 people were sitting on the chairs on both sides of the hall.

The people present were all family masters from various aristocratic families. They were almost all cultivators of the Celestial State later stage. At this moment, they gathered in a few groups while chatting in a low voice.

At the end of the hall was a slightly higher seat, which was obviously the main seat, but there was no one there at the moment.

As soon as Liu Ming and the middle-aged man in a green robe stepped into the hall, dozens of eyes all looked over at once.

“Eh, isn’t this Mr. Liu? You have finally arrived.” A rough-looking muscular man stood up and walked over with big strides.

“Mr. Lei.” Liu Ming smiled and nodded to the muscular man.

This muscular man was the Family Master Lei from the Zang State, Lei Ge.

The Lei Family and the Qing Family had had frequent contacts. In the past hundred years, Liu Ming had also met this person several times. Their friendship was not bad.

“Come, Mr. Liu. You usually stay behind closed doors. Now I can take this opportunity to introduce you to a few friends.” The muscular man laughed and grabbed Liu Ming to the inside.

There was a wry smile on Liu Ming’s face as if he couldn’t stand this man’s pa.s.sionate character. He nodded apologetically to the middle-aged man in a green robe and followed him.

When Liu Junyan saw this scene, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but he walked toward a circle of people with a smile.

Liu Ming followed Lei Ge to a small circle, found a seat and sat down, and looked at the surrounding people.

In addition to him and Lei Ge, there were 3 other people in the small circle here.

A green-haired young woman in a green robe looked like in her thirties. Her expression was indifferent. When she saw Liu Ming approaching, she just glanced at him without greeting. She gave a feeling of being unapproachable.

The other was a white-haired old man with an abnormal blush on his cheeks as if he just recovered from a serious illness.

The old man with white hair nodded slightly to Liu Ming with a benign look.

The other one was a young girl with red lips and white teeth. She wore a loose blood-red robe, which looked a bit nondescript.

“Haha, everyone, let me introduce you. This is Liu Ming, the Qing Family Master from the Tuo Zang Mountain Range that I mentioned to you before.” Lei Ge introduced Liu Ming to several others.

When the 3 of them heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

In recent years, the Qing Family had indeed been regarded as prestigious in Zang State. Now, in terms of power, it could be regarded as one of the top big families in Zang State. The new Family Master Liu Ming had always been mysterious and basically did not appear in the eyes of outsiders, so people were interested in him.

“So you are Liu Ming. Nice to meet you.” The old man with white hair cupped his fist and said.

The green-haired young woman and the girl in a red robe couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Liu Ming.

“These 3 are also the masters of the famous families in Zang State, namely Fairy Ao, Mr. Ge and Miss Lan.” Lei Ge introduced the green-haired young woman, the old man with white hair and the girl in a red robe respectively.

“Family Master Ao, Family Master Ge, Family Master Lan, nice to meet you!”

Liu Ming cupped his fist slightly. Although Lei Ge didn’t say the names of these people, with just their surnames, he could also guess the ident.i.ties of these people.

The Ao Family, the Ge Family, and the Lan Family were all well-known families in Zang State. Although they were not as powerful as Qing Family and Lei Family, their scale was not small.

Especially Lan Family where the girl in a red robe belonged to was famous for alchemy. If he guessed correctly, this girl in a red robe was Zang State’s famous alchemy master Lan Yinggu. Liu Ming had heard rumors about her. It was rumored that because of eating an ancient elixir by mistake, her body mutated and turned into a childish girl.

They reported their names to each other, and the atmosphere between them gradually became harmonious.

“Okay, Sir Lei, according to your words, after gathering 5 people, we will start discussing the matter of the alliance. We can start now right.” The green-haired young woman said coldly.

Liu Ming showed a look of surprise.

“Hehe, Fairy Ao, please be patient. Mr. Liu just came here, so I need to explain the situation to him first.” Lei Ge laughed, waved his hand, and enveloped them in a purple light curtain.

“Mr. Liu, this is the case. Although you and I are both Celestial State cultivators in this battle, the battle is dangerous and unpredictable. No one can be sure what will happen. So I want to form an alliance with everyone here. I wonder if Mr. Liu is interested in joining?” Lei Ge looked at Liu Ming and asked.

When Liu Ming heard this, he revealed a thoughtful look without answering immediately.

“By the way, many aristocratic families present have established small circles. Mr. Liu must naturally understand the meaning.” Seeing that Liu Ming was silent, Lei Ge added.

Liu Ming pondered for a moment before saying,

“Since I’m invited by Mr. Lei, I’m naturally willing to join. However, I came later than the others. Can you tell me about the situation in You Rong City? To be honest, although I received the transfer order from the central imperial and the Liu Family, I know nothing about the current situation.”

“I was going to share you this information before you asked.” Lei Ge said immediately.

Hearing this, the green-haired young woman and the others also showed a focused look on their faces.

“According to my information, the cultivators of the Li State, Chi State, and Kuo State suddenly decided to defect from the central imperial for some reason. All the aristocratic families in the 3 states have now united together, calling themselves the Da Shuo Dynasty.” Lei Ge slowly said.

The other 3 were shocked when they heard this.

“Da Shuo…” Mo Tian’s voice sounded in Liu Ming’s mind, and the tone seemed to be a little mocking.

Liu Ming’s eyes flickered slightly, but he didn’t ask Mo Tian.

“They have already called themselves a dynasty. It seems that the cultivators of the 3 states are really going to completely rebel against the central imperial.” The girl in a red robe said with a deep tone.

“No one knows what happened in the 3 states, but this is already the fact. Since the rebellion began, our Lei Family tried to send people to sneak in many times because it was close to the Chi State, but they all failed. We also lost a lot of people.” Lei Ge said with a sigh.

“Does Mr. Lei know how many cultivators the Da Shuo Dynasty has gathered and have all of them reached the fort outside You Rong City?” Liu Ming asked with a flash of his eyes.
