Nine Heavenly Star Art

~~

At this time, Ling xiongjie and Ling Xiongfeng were sitting in a small hall and chatting. Although Ling Xiongfeng was the acting patriarch of the Ling family, he still sat at the lower end and looked very respectful to Ling xiongjie.

"Xiongfeng, how do you think I treated you in the past?" Ling xiongjie said in a low voice.

"Family head has naturally treated me very well in the past, Xiong Feng is very grateful." Although Ling Xiongfeng said this, he was cursing in his heart. He had never been Ling xiongjie's confidant and had always been on the periphery of the family. He was in the same boat as Ling Yu. Although he was temporarily the head of the family, the majority of the power in the family was still in the hands of Ling xiongjie. He didn't dare to show any disrespect to Ling xiongjie. If Ling xiongjie or Ling xiongjie's son, Ling Cheng, were to become the head of the family again, he wouldn't have a good life in the future.

"Very good, Xiongfeng, if you obey me, I won't mistreat you. The snow Emperor has not been involved in the affairs of the clan for many years, and the Ling clan is no longer the same as it was in the past. The snow Emperor can not make the decision on his own." Ling xiongjie said indifferently, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Ling Xiongfeng naturally understood the obvious threat in Ling xiongjie's words. He knew that Ling Xiong Jie's methods were vicious. Back then, Ling Yu's parents had died at Ling Xiong Jie's hands. Although the snow Emperor had a lot of say in the Ling family and could even abdicate Ling Xiong Jie's position as the head of the family, it was difficult to completely change the current situation of the Ling family. Whether it was the law enforcement Hall or the various businesses of the family, they were all controlled by Ling Xiong Jie's trusted aides.

Ling Xiongfeng sighed. Although Ling Yu had the snow Emperor's support, unless the snow Emperor stayed in the Ling family forever or changed the Ling family's structure, Ling Yu would not be able to ascend to the position of the family head.

"The king's envoy has arrived!" Suddenly, a shout came from outside.

Ling Xiong Jie and Ling Xiong Feng couldn't help but be stunned. Wasn't the Emperor holding a banquet? why did he suddenly send an envoy to the Ling family?

They came back to their senses and immediately filed out. All the members of the Ling family gathered in the hall in front and bowed to welcome the king's envoy.

"We accept the decree." Ling Xiongfeng, as the acting clan head, stood in front of the crowd and said respectfully. Everyone in the hall knelt down in accordance with his words.

The king's envoy was a golden-armored guard. He glanced at Ling xiongjie and Ling Xiongfeng, unfurled a bright yellow scroll, and read aloud, " the king has decreed that Ling Yu, the third son of the Ling family, is young and promising. I hereby betroth Princess Zhaoming, Ji Zixuan, to Ling Yu and grant him the title of Lingxiao Saint City Lord and a hundred-mile territory.

After receiving the emperor's imperial edict, Ling Xiong Jie and Ling Xiong Feng were both a little dazed and unable to react. The Emperor had actually married his Princess to Ling Yu? This was too outrageous! There were countless young men from the major clans who were pursuing the princess. Why would Ji Haotian, that old fox, choose Ling Yu?

The current Ling Yu was merely the third in line to the Ling family's inheritance. What method did he use to marry the princess?

? If it was only the snow Emperor's support, Ling Yu's chances of becoming the head of the Ling family would not be high. But now that he had the support of the monarch, the outcome was different. Would the monarch allow his son-in-law to not even be the head of the Ling family?

In terms of means, could Ling xiongjie be as cruel and merciless as Ji Haotian, who was the Emperor of a country?

The six major families of the capital were all under Ji Haotian's surveillance. Therefore, he could easily kill Ling xiongjie with any means. After all, he was the Emperor of a country!

With the imperial family's support, no matter how much Ling Xiong Jie struggled, Ling Yu's position as the head of the Ling family was set in stone! If they had to play any tricks, not only would they fail to kill Ling Yu, they might even be killed by Ji Haotian!

Without extraordinary means, how could he easily sit on the throne of a King?

After hearing this, Ling xiongjie's face turned gloomy. Even when the snow Emperor stripped him of his position as the family head, he didn't feel as powerless as he was now. If he still wanted to help Ling Cheng fight for the family head position, he would have to face not only the snow Emperor, but also the terrifying Ji Haotian.

What kind of dog shit luck did this kid, Ling Yu, have?

Even after the king and the envoy had left, the people in the hall were still in a daze. This brat Lingyu actually married the princess? was he dreaming? Ji Haotian wouldn't marry off the princess so easily. The marriage of the royal family was usually closely related to politics. But what did Ji Haotian see in Ling Yu?

Ling Xiongfeng was also extremely surprised. Only now did he understand that he had really underestimated Ling Yu! From the moment he was captured by patriarch of law enforcement and brought back to the Ling family, to the time when he spoke so eloquently during the family meeting, to the time when the snow Emperor stripped Ling Xiong Jie of his position as the family head, and now, he suddenly became Ji Haotian's son-in-law. These were all methods that no ordinary person could have!

Ling Yu's stupidness and concession in the past was probably just a low-key forbearance. Such a thunderous method had instantly stunned Ling xiongjie.

Ling Xiongfeng suddenly felt like laughing. He couldn't help but burst into laughter. The entire Hall was filled with Ling Xiongfeng's laughter.

"Ling Xiongfeng, have you lost your mind?" Ling Xiong Jie said angrily. From today onwards, he felt that he was gradually losing his prestige in the Ling family.

"Of course I'm not crazy!" Ling Xiongfeng looked around at the people in the hall and laughed, " it just so happens that all the law enforcement elders, branch family heads, and supervisors are here. I, Ling Xiongfeng, would like to say a few words. The princess marrying into Ling Yu is a joyous occasion for the Ling family! Ling Yu is undoubtedly the best candidate to be the next clan head of the Ling clan. Does anyone have any objections?"

Everyone in the hall had different expressions on their faces, but no one said a word. Ling Xiongfeng continued, I, Ling Xiongfeng, am willing to support the succession of the new family head. As for the law enforcement elders, branch family heads, and Chiefs, you can do as you see fit. Those who support Ling Yu as the new family head, please step forward.

The hall was silent. After a moment of silence, one by one, people walked towards Ling Xiongfeng. The first to go were the heads of the branch families. They were less bound by Ling Xiong Jie and had a certain degree of autonomy. They first expressed their support for Ling Xiongfeng, then the Chiefs, and then even the confidants of Ling Xiong Jie in the law enforcement Hall walked towards Ling Xiongfeng.

This was the decision of the Ling family. If Ling Xiong Jie had only been demoted from the position of the family head, he wouldn't have lost his power so easily with his years of prestige. However, the news of the princess marrying Ling Yu changed everything.

Everyone knew that following Ling xiongjie would only lead to death!

Other than Ling Gong and a few others who were still on Ling Xiong Jie's side, the sixty or so people in power in the Ling family had all walked to Ling Xiong Feng's side. No one could stop Ling Yu from becoming the head of the Ling family.

"You guys are good! You two-faced people!" Ling Xiong Jie's face was twisted in anger as he cursed in public. He didn't think that all his years of management in the Ling family would fall apart in an instant. Everything happened too quickly and caught him off guard. It was too late to turn things around.

Ling Gong was also extremely depressed. He didn't expect Ling Xiong Jie to lose his power so quickly. Even if he sided with Ling Xiong Feng, it would be useless. On the way back, he had already offended Ling Yu. Who would have thought that Ling Yu, who was a prisoner just a while ago, would become the son-in-law of the king and the future head of the Ling family in the blink of an eye?

"Fuck!" Ling Gong couldn't help but curse. He could only blame his own bad luck. If he had not offended Ling Yu previously, he would definitely be like the others, standing on Ling Xiong Feng's side without hesitation. He knew that the current situation was irreversible. As the Prince Consort of the princess, and with the support of the snow Emperor, Ling Yu would become the most powerful clan head of the Ling family!

Ling Xiong Jie had never thought that Ling Yu would turn the tables so quickly. He didn't even have time to prepare.

"You want me to admit defeat? that's impossible!" Ling xiongjie gritted his teeth and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Even if he had to retreat for the time being, he was still unwilling to admit defeat. Even if Ling Yu was about to succeed the position of the family head, he could not do anything to him in a short time. He would still find a chance!

******

In the inner palace of the Imperial City, the banquet was still going on. It was said that there were still three important figures who were not present. He had no idea who they were. They were actually so big-shot that they made so many combat emperors wait here.

It was said that two of the war emperors were from the Dao court, but he didn't know their background.

The group was chatting when suddenly, the flying Dagger in ye Chen's mind buzzed and trembled.

Ye chen furrowed his brows. Even these battle-emperors could not see the flying Dagger in his mind. Only ye chen could sense the abnormality of the flying Dagger.

What was it that had triggered the flying Daggers?

Ye chen was a little confused.

"Feather Emperor, string Emperor, and lady ruoyun have arrived." At this moment, a guard came in and reported loudly.

"Quickly invite them in!" Ji Haotian hurriedly gave the order, then stood up and said goodbye to the other battle emperors, then hurriedly went to welcome them.

When they heard that feather Emperor, string Emperor, and lady ruoyun had arrived, the war emperors who had been chatting in their seats all stood up.

Seeing that the group of war emperors had stood up, ye chen naturally would not remain sitting there. He also stood up and asked the snow Emperor, " "Lord Snow Emperor, who are feather Emperor, string Emperor, and that lady ruoyun?"

"Be careful with what you say later. Feather Emperor and string Emperor are the proud disciples of the divine Emperor, the Lord of the Dao court. They are geniuses with an Astral Soul Fusion rate close to 70. They are only in their twenties, but they are already first level combat emperors. As for lady ruoyun, her status is extremely noble. No one knows her true identity and no one knows what her level of cultivation is. Some people have guessed that she is the daughter of a deity but no one can confirm it. " The snow Emperor reminded ye chen in a low voice.

It turned out that they were important figures from the Dao court. No wonder these war emperors were so polite to these two young war emperors even though they were usually powerful.

Ye chen thought to himself. The flying Dagger in his mind was still buzzing non-stop. Celestial Chi surged out and flowed through his body. This time, the celestial Chi that overflowed was purer than before. After it gushed out, it quickly merged into his dantian.

The nine stars in his dantian also underwent a subtle change. All kinds of celestial Chi spirits swam on the surface of the nine stars.

These celestial Chi spirits were like living creatures. Ye chen seemed to be able to feel their joy.
