C4556 Yuan Family Patriarch!
C4556 Yuan Family Patriarch!
The Third Prince’s hand paused, his eyes narrowed, and then he immediately put on a big smile. He quickly walked forward to greet him.
“Uncle Yuan Bao, why did you come personally? It was such a long journey, just sending one person was enough.”
The Third Prince said politely.
Yuan Bao laughed heartily, and then he heavily patted the Third Prince on the shoulder. He said, “Good lad, you’ve fought such a great victory, exterminating one of the Evil Cult’s biggest strongholds, and even killing two Evil Cult’s Immortal Longevity Realm experts. You can be said to have achieved an unprecedented victory. How could I not come and join in the fun? This is a small gift to congratulate you on your great victory.”
As he spoke, Yuan Bao took out a gorgeous treasure chest and placed it on the ground.
He casually waved his hand, and the treasure chest opened. Immediately, a strange fragrance was emitted, and it was refreshing to the heart. It was extremely beautiful, and just smelling it made one’s spirit become a hundred times stronger.
When the Tribulation Transcenders in the great hall saw this, they also looked at him.
“What a pure medicinal fragrance. Could it be a top-grade immortal pill? What a big arm.”
“Tsk, as expected of the current Divine Dynasty’s number one family. They are truly incomparably generous. There are probably over a hundred bottles of top-grade immortal pills here. They are too strong.”
“Only the Third Prince can have such a great reputation after fighting such a great victory. As the current head of the Yuan Family, Yuan Bao took the initiative to come. Heh.”
At that moment, all sorts of discussions arose, and their attitudes varied. There were even some who were rather displeased, and their faces were filled with disdain.
Actually, at the end of the day, it was still because the Source Clan, which possessed the Origin Treasure, was a long-established Immortal Cultivation Clan, and it was deeply rooted. Meanwhile, the cultivators of the Righteous Dao that had responded to the Third Prince’s call and came to eradicate the evil and protect the Dao were mostly rogue cultivators.
The conflicts between rogue cultivators and the Immortal Cultivation Clans had started a long time ago, and it wasn’t anything rare.
Besides, regardless of what motives these Righteous Dao cultivators had, they had responded to the Third Prince’s call and gathered at the border city, and they’d fought a life-and-death battle with the Blackheaven Evil Cult, and they’d even won.
If they won, then it was the greatest confidence.
“Looks like this Origin Treasure isn’t very well-liked.”
Zuo Zhao spoke in a low voice when he saw this.
Fu Xue nodded and said, “The Source Clan is the number one Immortal Cultivation Clan in the current Divine Dynasty, and it possesses a deep foundation. It has done a lot of suppressing rogue cultivators. In the past, when the previous Clan Master, Yuan Hong Chou, was still in power, he was able to suppress it with his Immortal Realm cultivation, but now, this Source Treasure is only at the peak-stage of the Tribulation Transcender Realm, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to do it.”
Fu Xue was extremely intelligent, and she’d instantly discerned the crux of the matter.
Since Yuan Hong Chou’s death, the enormous Source Clan had started to decline, and it was falling down step by step.
If it was in the past, then no matter how great of a merit the Third Prince had accomplished, he didn’t need the Patriarch of the Source Clan to personally come to congratulate him, and he only had to send someone to deal with it.
But now, it was completely different. The Third Prince was a powerful contender for the throne of the Divine Emperor, and he had to personally come to present the Primeval Treasure.
"The death of Yuan Hong Chou was done by the Dark Shrine. Song Tong also died. In other words, the two of them are actually enemies. It's reasonable for the Primeval Treasure to personally come to congratulate him."
Gu Lanyue said indifferently.
"That's right." Chen Xiao nodded and said.
On the other side, the Third Prince was extremely enthusiastic, and his face was filled with joy. He did not hide it at all. "Uncle Primeval Treasure, you've come, so there's no need for you to be so polite. It has frightened my nephew."
Although his words were courteous, his hands were very familiar with taking the treasure chest, and he did not hesitate at all.
He waved his hand lightly, and immediately, an attentive guard walked up to him. He squatted down and carefully counted it, then raised his head and shouted, "The Patriarch of the Yuan Family has sent a congratulatory gift, a hundred bottles of top-grade immortal pills."
The guard's voice was very loud, and it could be heard clearly in the entire Jingbian City.
Not only the cultivators of the Tribulation Transcender in the hall, even the low-level cultivators who were not qualified to enter the hall were able to hear it clearly.
For a moment, there was a hubbub of discussion.
For these aristocratic families, giving gifts was a matter of life and death. They had to carefully consider who they were giving gifts to. This was not only the attitude of the person receiving the gift, but also the face of their family.
If the things he took out were too shabby, it would instead make him a laughing stock.
Without a doubt, this hundred bottles of top-grade immortal pills were truly a timely help to the Third Prince.
The Third Prince smiled and cupped his fists. He said, "Thank you, Uncle Bao. Please take a seat."
The Origin Treasure nodded and smiled. He said, "The Third Highness was able to achieve such a result. Apart from eliminating an evil sect, the Godking was overjoyed when he heard the news. I believe that the reward will be here soon."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the Third Prince with a higher gaze. He glanced at Chen Xiao from the corner of his eyes and moved it away without leaving a trace.
Although he said that, he naturally knew that the greatest contributor to defeating the evil sect in this battle was this long-lost expert who claimed to be the Blood Hand.
He was secretly nervous. This person had an unknown background, but his strength was extraordinary. If he could recruit him, it would be very useful to the Yuan Clan.
Hearing that, the Third Prince chuckled and said, "Uncle Origin Treasure, you flatter me. I don't dare to take credit for it. The reason I was able to win this battle is because of Senior Blood Hand. Uncle Origin Treasure, you shouldn't be here to celebrate with me, right? You came here to see Senior Blood Hand?"
"Eh ~"
The Origin Treasure's expression froze. His expression changed slightly. He did not expect that the Third Prince would be so straightforward and blunt, telling him what he was thinking.
However, he had also experienced great storms and waves, so he laughed and brushed it off.
"Hi, Third Highness, your eyes are indeed sharp. I really can't hide it from you. I hope Third Highness can introduce me to him. Is that alright?"
Yuan Bao saw that he had been dismantled, so he did not hide it anymore and said shamelessly.
As soon as these words came out, it shocked everyone.
"Hiss ~ So the Patriarch of Yuan Bao Family came here for Senior Blood Hand. This makes sense."
"So that's how it is. Ever since the previous Patriarch died, the Yuan Family has been declining. Do you want to find a long life powerhouse as your backer? Interesting."
"That's right. Only a hidden expert like Senior Blood Hand is worthy of the Yuan Family Patriarch personally coming out."
All the Tribulation Transcenders were discussing.
Fu Xue glanced at Chen Xiao and said in a low voice, "Captain, it seems that trouble has come."
Chen Xiao covered his face and pretended not to see it. He continued to eat his food. Not to mention, it was quite delicious and comfortable to eat.
The Third Prince looked deeply at Yuan Bao. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Alright."
He knew very well that Yuan Bao had personally come to find him. Furthermore, Chen Xiao was sitting at the side. Even if he wanted to refuse, it would be very difficult.
"Thank you Third Highness." Yuan Bao said with a solemn face.
He could be considered to have accepted the Third Prince's favor.
"Uncle Yuan Bao, this way please."
"Mm."
