Eternal life begins with saving my clan-Chapter 207: Time to Shake things up

Inside Su Yen's private courtyard, Biyu stood a couple of meters from him with a solemn expression on her face.

One of her men had just found out that the Death Shadow organization had posted a mission about their leader on their mission board.

Even though they didn't know his identity, that didn't stop the fact that someone dared to send an assassin to kill their sect master or, to be precise, the Barren Land Emperor.

Su Yen looked at the piece of paper that contained the assassination details without any expression on his face.

"Can you find out who posted this mission?" His voice was calm, as if the assassination mission was not about his life.

"We can if we kill everyone in the Death Shadow organization," she responded calmly, as if she were not talking about killing the most ruthless organization in the empire.

He did not give the order immediately and thought for a moment. "Don't destroy them yet; I want to see the person that could kill me."

Biyu only nodded. She didn't need to know how Su Yen would resolve the problem or consider him being killed by assassins. She didn't even entertain the thought.

How strong was their leader that a mere assassin would kill him? She shook her head inwardly and pitied those that gave the mission and those that accepted it.

"How is the preparation for the meeting?" He asked, burning the piece of paper to a crisp.

"Everything is going according to plan," she responded.

"Good. It's time to shake things up a bit."

The following day, every clan in Biyu City was preparing for the ultimate banquet. The atmosphere inside the city was solemn, and every visitor in the city could feel the tense atmosphere.

Everyone knew the importance of the banquet. It would ultimately decide the future of their clans. Therefore, every clan took it as if it were an imperial decree.

Inside the city lord's mansion, the Ye clan, the city lord sat in front of the two supreme elders with a solemn expression on his face.

"When will the envoy arrive?" He asked.

"He should arrive today," one of the supreme elders responded calmly.

Even though it seemed they were quiet about their grievance, that was just a facade. After the city lord woke up, he sent a message to the prefecture lord with their fastest horse.

And today, the Prefecture Lord Envoy would arrive.

A light smile blossomed on the face of the city lord. He could already foresee the destruction of the Cao clan and the power behind them.

As for the power behind the Cao clan, more powerful than the envoy, he didn't believe. At least the Envoy would be an expert of the Core Refining realm stage 2.

And the power behind the Cao clan, at best, would be an expert of the early stage 1 Core Refining realm.

The difference between each stage was the distance between heaven and earth. Therefore, the power behind the Cao clan didn't stand any chance at all.

"Since the Envoy would arrive today, let's go to the banquet and see what this is all about," said the city lord with a sharp glint in his eyes.

…..

As the Ye clan prepared to attend the banquet, other clans were also preparing. They knew anything could happen in this banquet. Thus, they needed to be prepared very well.

In the Xiao clan, Xiao Guiyin looked at her husband with a solemn expression. "Are you sure you want to bring them along?"

"Yes." Her husband nodded firmly. "If we don't bring the younger generation, what message are we passing across to them?"

She looked at her husband and wanted to retort but couldn't find a reasonable argument. She knew how dangerous this banquet was, and taking their children along gave her a bad feeling.

Finally, she glared at her husband. "If anything happens to them, I would hold you responsible for it." With that, she stormed out of the room.

Meanwhile, in the Cao clan, the younger generation was also getting ready for the event. Cao Meng, dressed in an elegant robe, addressed the clan disciples.

"Today's banquet is crucial for our clan. Remember, we are representing the strength and honor of our Cao clan and the power we represent. Show respect, but do not let anyone belittle us. Be vigilant, and above all, enjoy yourselves."

The disciples nodded in agreement, their determination reflecting in their eyes. Yesterday, they saw a glimpse of the power that was backing their clan and thus, boosting their morale.

Previously, they were the only declining clan in the inner city. They couldn't raise their heads in the street, and many of them didn't have friends.

But now, everything was different. Nobody could look down on them, and they could finally raise their heads in the city.

As the day progressed, the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow across the city. When the sun finally disappeared from the horizon, the banquet was finally starting.

Slowly, various beautiful carriages arrived in front of the Cao clan. Each clan that arrived came with a gift. Even though they don't know why they were called, still they came bearing gifts.

The

Cao clan was beautifully decorated with lanterns hanging by the road. A special big hall had been allocated for this special banquet.

The hall was divided into various sections based on the power and influence of the clans. The lowest part of the hall quickly filled up with clans that came from the outer city; slowly, those seats meant for clans in the inner city were getting full at a rapid speed.

Besides, each clan came with their younger generation. It was like they all had a meeting and agreed to bring their younger generation.

The Fu clan and the Yuan clan arrived together. Their clan masters talked in hushed voices as they entered the hall. Behind them were their sons and daughters.

When the Zi clan arrived, it generated a loud noise from everyone. They looked at the proud smile on the Zi clan master and couldn't help but be jealous of their fortune.

Behind the Zi clan master was Zi Haoran, his handsome oval face laced with hidden pride and calmness.

Those that had just come from their training looked at him with disdain and jealousy. Still, everyone maintained their seat.

Slowly, those from the core city began to arrive. The Wang clan, Liu clan, and Cheng clan already had new clan masters, and they came to the banquet.

Those that came after them were the Ding clan, the Wei clan, and the Xue clan. When the three clan masters appeared, they looked older and haggard. Still, they put on a forced smile as they greeted other clan masters.

The next group that arrived was the leader of the Crimson Jade Pavilion, the old woman leading a group of elders with three younger generations into the hall.

Looking at the old woman and seeing she only had one arm, shock and confusion etched on the faces of everyone. What happened to her?!

Everyone cried in their hearts.

Apart from that, they could see her face was haggard like the faces of those of the Ding, Wei, and Xue clan masters.

Instantly, the atmosphere inside the hall became still. Previously, they thought the banquet wouldn't be a simple one. They never expected the most powerful clans in the city were already under attack.

As for the next clan that arrived, it was the Xiao clan. Led by the easy-going patriarch of the Xiao clan, the clan master with his wife by his side entered the hall with a bright smile on their faces.

They greeted every clan with a smile and even joked with some clan masters. When they saw the Xiao clan was perfectly fine, the clan master let out a sigh of relief.

At least, one of the powerful clans was still intact.

The announcer at the entrance announced the latest arrival: the city lord mansion, the Ye clan.

With confidence and pride, the city lord marched into the hall with an expressionless gaze. The two supreme elders behind him also had an expressionless gaze.

Even though the city lord tried to mask his weakness, those with keen eyes could see the same haggardness on his face.

It was then they realized why the city was so peaceful in the past couple of weeks. All the clans that should have disrupted the city had already been taken care of.

With the arrival of all the influential clans, the clan masters looked at each other, waiting for the host of the banquet.

Creak!

The door was opened, and Cao Meng entered. Dressed in a beautiful robe that showed all her curves, her face had a radiant smile.

"Thank you everyone for coming," she said and took her seat five steps below the highest seat in the hall.

Seeing this, everyone knew what those reserved seats meant. They looked at each other and sucked in a cold breath.

Finally, it was happening.

Creak! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

The door to the hall was opened, and four people entered. In front of them was an elderly woman.

Everyone looked at her curiously, and when they found she was only at the early stage of the Foundation Building realm, they were confused. Is she the power behind the store and everything? They thought.

They looked behind her; they knew of Ai and Aiguo and Huang Guo. This confirmed it was the elderly woman who was the leader or the person behind as not arrived.

Even though they were curious, everyone maintained their silence.

After Elder Hua and the others took their seats, everyone looked at them, waiting for the banquet to begin, but nothing.

For thirty minutes, nothing happened. Everyone looked at each other with a baffled expression. When everyone was at the brink of their patience, they heard a voice that sent shivers down their spine.
