Chapter 587: The war Emperor's invitation
~~
Although Ji zhuoxu was the Crown Prince of a country, he had no way of coming into contact with people at the level of a war Emperor. The information he had was also very limited. He only knew that the ye family had produced a few geniuses who had become the disciples of a few war emperors. However, he did not know how many geniuses with an Astral Soul Fusion rate of more than 50 had appeared in the ye family or how much power ye chen could mobilize.
Ye chen was only in the spirit sea realm and his Astral Soul Fusion rate was 0. In his opinion, ye chen could not pose a threat to him.
It was just a family that had just moved to Zi Hua divine dynasty, and it had not even been a year since they moved here. Their Foundation was shallow, so how could they have a strong background? He was just bluffing!
"Very good, I'll remember everything you said today!" Ji zhuoxu snorted coldly. Although his words clearly showed that he and ye chen had formed a grudge, he did not make things difficult for them in public. In a banquet like this, especially with so many battle-emperors present, he naturally did not want to make a big deal out of it. Otherwise, if he disturbed the mood of the battle-emperors, his father would blame him no matter what the reason was.
The atmosphere was heavy. Ling Cheng and Ling Xu could not understand why the Crown Prince would swallow his anger and not cause trouble for ye chen. Ye chen was so arrogant that he was challenging the authority of the royal family. They thought about how to stir up more trouble.
At this moment, a few surprised cries suddenly came from not far away.
"Third brother, what are you doing here?"
"Brother ye chen, I didn't expect to see you here!"
Ye chen looked up when he heard the familiar voice. It was Ye Peng, ye mu, and Ji Lei.
"Big brother, second brother, big brother Ji Lei, you've come as well?" Ye chen stood up in surprise and went up to her.
"We came here with master." Ye Peng smiled and patted ye Chen's shoulder.
"Lord Emperor Qian and Lord Emperor Qiu have also come?" When Ling Yu saw Ye Peng, ye mu, and Ji Lei, he immediately stood up and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Yes, I'm currently chatting with the snow Emperor and the others." Ye Peng said with a nod.
Earlier, Ye Peng, ye mu, and Ji Lei had been surrounded by a large group of nobles and aristocrats, so they had not noticed ye chen sitting in the corner. It was only later that ye mu accidentally saw ye chen and happily brought Ye Peng and Ji Lei over.
When they saw ye chen chatting with Ye Peng, ye mu, and the others, the nobles in the distance began to chat softly.
"Who are these people?"
"You don't know? They were the new disciples of Emperor Qian and Emperor Qiu, and they were all super geniuses with an Astral Soul Fusion rate of over 50! Emperor Qian and Emperor Qiu have always kept their identities a secret."
"A super genius with an Astral Soul Fusion rate of 50 and above?" The eyes of all the nobles who heard the news lit up. With an Astral Soul Fusion rate of more than 50, he had the potential to break through to the combat Emperor realm! It was definitely worth it for them to build a good relationship!
It was said that many nobles had wanted to marry their daughters to Ye Peng, ye mu, and Ji Lei, but they were all rejected.
Ji zhuoxu frowned as he watched from the side. He knew Ye Peng and ye mu, and he also knew that they were ye Chen's brothers. However, he did not expect Emperor Qiu's disciple, Ji Lei, to have such a close relationship with ye chen. How much more did the ye clan have that he did not know? With this alone, ye chen had already obtained the support of two war emperors. In addition to the snow Emperor, that was three war emperors. Even the Royal Ji family could not be underestimated.
The crowd of descendants from the wealthy families were deep in thought. Three super-geniuses with an Astral Soul Fusion rate of over 50 were actually from the ye family. This was indeed shocking.
I heard that there will be 13 battle emperors present today!
"It's much more than in previous years. In previous years, we could only invite four or five people."
"Yeah, this is really strange. In the past, Emperor Qian and Emperor Qiu would not even be present, but this year, they made an exception and came. It's said that a few war emperors from the Dao court are coming over as well, but they're still on their way and haven't arrived yet."
Every single combat Emperor was a super Overlord that was above the king. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to invite them even if they were invited. They didn't expect that there would be thirteen combat emperors this year. This was beyond everyone's expectations.
it's said that two of the war emperors are from the Dao court. There's also a very distinguished and mysterious guest. No one knows his true identity, but he's still here.
As time passed, more and more people walked in from the entrance of the hall. However, this spacious hall could still accommodate thousands of people. The hall still did not feel crowded at all.
From time to time, some people would run over excitedly and greet ye chen with great respect.
"Chief!"
"Clan leader, you're here too! It's great to see you!"
"Hall Master, Star Hall's disciple Shu Hua pays his respects to Hall Master!"
One by one, people came to ye chen and bowed to him. Ye chen could not stop them even if he wanted to. After all, everything had happened too unexpectedly. Even ye chen himself did not expect to meet so many clan members and disciples.
This year, there were a lot of combat emperors who came to attend the banquet. They seemed to have the intention to bring their disciples along. Among these disciples, more than half of them were from the ye family or the star Hall. Ye chen had not given them any prior instructions, so when they saw him, they naturally all came over to greet him.
"You guys go do your own things!" Ye chen waved his hand helplessly and had the clansmen and disciples of the star temple disperse.
Ye chen glanced at Ling Yu. Ling Yu only smiled bitterly. There was no other way. He had sent these ye clan disciples and Star Hall disciples to the war emperors as disciples. Of course, he had first sent them to the snow Emperor's acquaintances. Otherwise, if he rashly went to visit those unfamiliar war emperors, who would pay him any attention?
The direct consequence of this was that when the banquet was held, more than half of the disciples brought by the battle emperors would be from the ye family and the star temple.
The reason why so many battle emperors were attending this banquet this year was also because many of them wanted to meet the family members of their disciples through Ling Yu. This was only natural. That was why so many war emperors were suddenly invited to Ji Haotian's banquet this year, and it was just a coincidence.
"Who are these people?"
"Hall Master? What's a Star Hall?"
A few of Ji zhuoxu's family members discussed among themselves. They found an excuse to leave and went to ask the nobles. The information they received shocked them. Those who came to greet ye chen were all disciples of the war Emperor. Moreover, they were all geniuses with an Astral Soul Fusion rate of more than fifty!
There were more than seven battle-Emperor Masters behind them!
The gazes of the group of wealthy class disciples toward ye chen suddenly changed. Even if the Ji clan dared to go against such a clan, these clans would not dare to. After all, they usually had the support of one or two combat emperors at most.
One of Ji zhuoxu's men had heard some news and whispered a few words into Ji zhuoxu's ear. Ji zhuoxu's face gradually changed. The power behind ye chen had completely exceeded his imagination.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became a little strange.
The surrounding nobles looked at ye chen, who was calmly sitting on the chair and drinking tea, with shock, awe, and disbelief. They felt a sense of suffocation in their hearts.
What kind of family was this!
So many geniuses had been born!
Ye chen did not want to reveal too much but he did not expect such an accident to happen at this gathering. He had been busy with various things recently and had not done enough to keep it a secret. However, what these nobles saw was only the tip of the iceberg of the ye family. It was not even one-tenth of the entire plan, so it did not matter much.
"I, Xuanji, propose a toast to brother ye chen." Suddenly, Ji zhuoxu, who was sitting on the side, said with a glass of wine in his hand. He looked a little embarrassed. He had struggled in his heart for a long time and could not bring himself to apologize to ye chen. However, he had already understood that the ye family could not be provoked.
Ye chen looked at Ji zhuoxu with a half-smile, picked up his glass of wine on the table, and drank it in one gulp.
Although Ji zhuoxu did not apologize directly, this glass of wine already showed that he wanted to make peace with ye chen.
Even the royal family of the Zi Hua divine dynasty had to be careful when they saw the hidden strength behind ye chen.
Seeing Ji zhuoxu taking the initiative to express his goodwill, Ling Yu's chest was filled with a sense of satisfaction. What was the point of Ling Cheng and Ling Xu trying so hard to curry favor with Ji zhuoxu? Compared to ye Chen, Ji zhuoxu was nothing!
When the people around Ji zhuoxu saw that Ji zhuoxu had taken the initiative to toast ye chen, their expressions changed.
Ji Zixuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. She did not expect that even her proud big brother would have a time when he would give in to someone. What was this ye Chen's background? She didn't know the whole story and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
When the disciples of the major clans saw Ji zhuoxu's reaction, how could they not understand? each of them was thinking about how to build a relationship with ye chen. Even if they could not build a relationship with him, they must at least be on good terms and resolve the conflict just now.
As for Ling Cheng and Ling Xu, they were a little frightened. They thought of the six battle emperors 'inscription cards that ye chen had taken out. It turned out that the ye clan had produced so many geniuses who had acknowledged those battle emperors as their Masters. That was why ye chen had been able to obtain so many battle emperors' inscription cards. If so many battle emperors supported Ling Yu, would the Ling clan still have a place to stand?
A moment later, a guard in golden armor hurried over.
"May I know who is master ye chen?" The Golden-armored guard asked respectfully.
"I am." Ye chen asked casually, " may I know why you're looking for me? "
"Lord ye chen, the battle emperors over there have invited you over." The Golden-armored guard hurriedly knelt on one knee and cupped his hands.
An invitation from the battle-emperors? The hearts of the surrounding rich and powerful disciples shivered.
"Alright," he said. Ye chen glanced at Ling Yu, who was beside him, and then at the crowd. He smiled and said, " please excuse me. Lingyu, you're here. If you need anything, come and find me. "
"Yes." Ling Yu nodded.
