The main hall in the middle of Yu Residence was an eye-opener for Wu Qi Unlike the other palaces in Great Yu, it was very strange in appearance The hall that was constructed with big, dark rocks looked like a bull's head with ht pointed cornices, and was encoe stone pillars, each of which was carved with countless patterns of ghosts and deities Naturally, a fire boas placed atop each pillar, where pale-green flaht of tens of feet
Inside every cornice was an archer tohere Featheruard the periuard before the hall's entrance, all clad in pure gold arlorious There were also several thousand soldiers clad in heavy ar the atmosphere with a stern pressure due to their loud footsteps Wu Qi gave those Long Bo lance and discovered that all of them possessed the cultivation base of Heaven Immortal and above They were all elites
In the past, Yu Clan was not ah they did live an extravagant life, it was not as , and after the great purge was carried out in Zhong Province, Yu Clan had gained a huge political and econo Province under the newly appointed Prefecture Overseer, Bo Zhongfu As a result, no nificantly different from before
One perfect exa the main hall Every day, each of therams of incense oil extracted from the bodies of Mermen and whales In the past, the Yu Clan did not have so many resources to erect so many pillars, and they had only built twelve to meet the custom But now, they had three hundred and sixty of the Ning City with the aroma of incense oil It was the symbol of their wealth
Led by the Elders of Yu Clan, Wu Qi and the others walked into the main hall
From the outside, the hall was only a thousand feet in both width and length But just like Yu Huai's great hall, its interior was deployed with very profound restrictive spells Once inside, the hall h near the walls and ever lower toward the center, descending into a flat ground fifty th and surrounded by terraced seats Dozens of chairs were seen floating above the flat ground in the center
Countless giant stone carvings were carved on the walls in an extrelanced at them with his Chaotic Divine Eyes and found that they were the tributes to the virtues and achieve with dragons, fighting ghosts and deities, shatteringvarious spirit items from stars, and many others A few of thes, it seee nuht some enemies hidden in the smoke He wondered when that had happened
A large number of torches s, each burning with a pale-green flame The fuel was the same as those stone pillars on the outside, the incense oil extracted from Mermen and whales, and blended with sorance filling the air, but the faces of all were reflecting a ht, which added a bit of mystery to everyone
The hall was so cavernous that it could house hundreds of thousands of people at once More than a hundred lineal descendants of the Yu Clan, ere of the saeneration as Yu He, arrived in it with their subordinates, yet they only totaled to tens of thousands The hall still looked e at random in the seats
Wu Qi looked around at these sons of Yu Clan Each of the distance, clearly portraying the alienation and isolation they had adopted toward their own kin As all of therade provinces, it was natural that none of them would show any affection
This was the case with the sons of the big clans The so-called kinship and friendship orthless in the face of great interest
Sitting beside Yu He, Wu Qi felt countless glances sweeping past him But with his aura concealed by the Dark Evil Soul Beads, he appeared just like an ordinary hu at hi the Chaotic Divine Eyes, Wu Qi got himself a clearer look of those ould compete with Yu He
No wonder Yu He said that there were seven brothers he could not defeat and dare not confront Wu Qi saw seven youths ere tens of years older than Yu He, each with six to seven crescent moons eer than their brothers of the sa the subordinates who sat around these few youths, many of them had crescent moons on their sleeves as well Coht here, the gap in their overall strength was too great It was no wonder that Yu He dared not to compete with them
Most of the other brothers eaker than Yu He in term of their cultivation base and subordinates However, there were a dozen of them whose cultivation bases were at the same level as his, and were surrounded by a few subordinates who had crescent moons on their sleeves Wu Qi nodded silently From the look of it, if Yu He had not found him as a helper, it would have been very difficult to stand out and corade province
The door of theclose when all the sons of Yu Clan were seated A gust of chilly wind rolled out of the ground, and in the next instance, the dozens of large stone chairs floating in the middle of the hall were suddenly filled with people Unsurprisingly, a the people who sat in the center of the chairs were Yu Mu, the Grand Oracle of Zhong Province, and Yu Miao, the Left Minister of Zhong Province At thefrolanced around at the sons of Yu Clan, Yu Mu slowly raised his right hand Suddenly an absolute silence descended over the crowd, and no one dared to speak another word Nodding with satisfaction, he said in a slow voice, "Today's council is a great celebration of the Yu Clan in Zhong Province I will not waste everybody's tiiven the power of thirty provinces, whose Prefecture Overseers will be the members of our clan The power of fourteen provinces is allocated to your Seniors, while the rest of thest all of you here"
