Chapter 7: The Arrival of Many
In today's Huaxia, there are few who can be called divine. The Sword God Dongfang Yi and Han Xin, known as the War God, stand out, while Lian Yun has yet to earn a title of divinity.
The members of the Han Family are not primarily known for their strength; rather, they are recognized for their commanding abilities. Wherever there is a large-scale battle, there is almost always a presence of Han Clan disciples. In conflicts between human factions, it is common for both sides to have members from the Han Clan.
Some battlefields that are clearly conflicts between two rival families often turn into contests among the Han Clan disciples.
However, the defeated Han Clan disciples usually meet their demise, which means that no faction would refuse the joining of a Han Clan disciple. Often, confrontations between two Major Powers evolve into hopes that their own Han Clan disciples will prove stronger than those of the opposing side.
No one would refuse a Han Clan disciple because doing so while the other side accepts them almost guarantees defeat for one's own faction—unless there is someone on their side who is no weaker than a Han Clan disciple.
The reality is often harsh.
In fact, most Han Clan disciples are well-acquainted with each other, which leads to situations resembling a stalemate. It is not uncommon for battles to occur not between Han Clan disciples but rather against prodigies from other families who find themselves outmatched by those from the Han Clan.
Although the value of a Han Clan disciple is often related to the scale of the battlefield, comparing them to a Monarch is not an exaggeration.
Thus, when Han Xin sends over a hundred elite disciples, it feels akin to receiving a hundred Monarchs. Their worth cannot be compared to the thirty junior Demon Emperors under Sima Yi.
What Sima Yi might be contemplating is likely more complex than mere competition.
Every major family desires a Han Clan disciple's loyalty but finds it elusive. Now, with Han Xin suddenly providing Lin Clan with a hundred elite disciples, it raises suspicions about his true intentions—no one believes he has no ulterior motives.
Yet, it remains difficult to guess the real purpose behind War God Han Xin's actions.
Ancestor Sun and Sun Bin arrived together.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Even if Ruyi was an antique thousands of years old, it seemed to hold little significance. However, given that the Sun Family does not deliberately seek connections with others and focuses solely on preserving Huaxia Ethnicity, his personal visit to offer congratulations carries profound meaning despite its simplicity.
Not many people were concerned about it.
However, he was a significant figure from thousands of years ago, and as a member of the Alliance High Command, his gift was merely a pair of Ruyi, which provided some families with a way to save face.
There was no need for the families to go all out in offering extravagant gifts.
When Sun Bin arrived, the gift was modest, yet he was warmly welcomed by the members of the Lin Clan. Sima Yi and Han Xin came to congratulate him, and they were basically greeted by one of the three lords. In contrast, when Sun Bin arrived, all three lords came to welcome him.
This was not for any other reason but because of the conspiracy that had taken place earlier; Sun Ancestor had strongly opposed the plot against Lian Yun. Just based on this point alone, the Lin Clan felt compelled to treat him well.
Ren Woxing, the head of the Ren Family, also did not wish for Lian Yun to come to harm. However, he had not expressed his stance at that time, perhaps feeling it was too late to speak up. Nevertheless, the Lin Clan still welcomed him.
Next came mainly members of the Alliance High Command, followed by some young talents.
Among them were about ten strong individuals from Lin Feiyu's generation and those from Lian Yun's group, primarily participants from the Alliance Tournament: Dong Zisun Chen Dong, Beizi Beiqilin, and the two dark horses Hu Shuang and Zhuang Wu. They also included Diao Chan and Yin Ruoxue, whom they had met upon their return.
Some were scions of prominent families but had not come with their elders. Their collective presence brought a youthful energy to the gathering. After all, most attendees were leaders of various factions, and they felt constrained in their words and actions—afraid of displeasing the Lin family or provoking unnecessary hostility.
In short, there were too many considerations that made the atmosphere somewhat heavy.
Lin Feiyu naturally hosted his peers while Lian Yun's group took the initiative to approach him.
Sun Chendong maintained his gentlemanly demeanor; he was quite handsome and remarked with admiration, "Lian brother, is it true that Yin Yang City holds such great opportunities?"
"Opportunities coexist with crises," Lian Yun replied in a calm tone without nodding or shaking his head. It wasn't that he felt differently about the younger generation; he simply did not want his attitude to influence their self-assessment.
"Hey~~ just how strong are you now? Are you brave enough to venture into Evil Spirit City?" Hu Shuang, a lively girl, playfully slapped Lian Yun on the shoulder and asked curiously.
This carefree action startled quite a few people. After all, Lian Yun's Ghost Slave possessed strength that none of the Monarchs present could rival—not to mention Lian Yun himself.
This was simply a situation devoid of hierarchy, as if there were no distinctions between high and low. It was hard to tell whether Hu Shuang was overly naive or just lacking in common sense.
However, Lian Yun had a certain fondness for this eccentric woman. With a slight smile, he said, "I was just planning to take some time to visit a few cities."
His demeanor was relaxed, and his tone light, yet it exuded an indescribable confidence and strength.
Was Evil Spirit City a place for casual visits? One must understand that it was a location that even the Demon Realm hesitated to enter lightly.
Hu Shuang shot Lian Yun an annoyed glance, but her eyes betrayed a hint of longing.
The stern-faced North Qilin bowed slightly to Lian Yun, expressing gratitude for the guidance he had received three years prior. There was a glimmer of admiration and aspiration in his gaze.
Though they were peers, Lian Yun's exceptional talents were matched by his relentless efforts in growth and ability.
Now regarded as the strongest in the alliance, he bore no airs of superiority. His presence was both grounded and elevated.
The Sword God has arrived~~
The Eastern Family has arrived~~
Sword God Dongfang Yi belonged to the Eastern Family, yet he was summoned alone due to his nearly unparalleled status.
A colorful figure burst through the door, swirling dramatically before the seat of honor to form the character for longevity. Following this display, a hearty voice rang out: "Haha! Almost forgot; luckily I wasn't late."
"Nephew Dongfang Yi pays respects to Matriarch, wishing Matriarch blessings as vast as the East Sea and longevity like the South Mountain."
Although some unwanted members of the Alliance High Command had arrived, it did not dampen Grandma's good mood. The elderly woman frowned slightly and remarked, "Almost forgot?"
Dongfang Yi, along with Lin Nan and Lin Feiyan, were considered close friends. Had it not been for the ordinary Lian Cheng intervening back then, Dongfang Yi might have become Grandma's son-in-law, which would have naturally made their relationship very friendly.
So Grandma made a harmless joke.
At this moment, Dongfang Yi appeared at the entrance, accompanied by a nonchalant Spirit and Eastern Sword One.
The Spirit was none other than Eastern Family Ancestor Dongfang Su, a historical figure known for his flamboyant personality and lecherous nature, yet possessing genuine abilities.
Dongfang Su walked in with an air of swagger. Upon seeing Grandma, his eyes lit up, but he shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk tsk~ If Lin Jin were to come back to life, he might think you found a new love and had a lovely daughter!"
His words were quite unrestrained.
However, Grandma seemed very familiar with Dongfang Su and didn't mind his remarks. She casually replied, "Hehe!"
That smile from the beauty was extremely rare for someone of the older generation, leaving many captivated yet dumbfounded.
Dongfang Su was momentarily taken aback, then asked with some confusion, "Girl, you seem to be in such a good mood today. Is it because of the Birthday Banquet or the return of Cloud Child?"
"Old man, why are you worrying about that? Just take your seat."
Unintended words caught the attention of those around, and the guests began to show thoughtful expressions.
