Chapter 168 - 168: Beast Tamer Sect and De Shun Prince’s Residence Arrived with Gifts
At the main entrance of the Chen family, First Elder Chen Xuan was standing outside the door, welcoming the families who had come to observe the ceremony.
Towards Chen Xuan’s personal welcome, the ninth-grade aristocratic families were filled with fear and trepidation. This was a figure equivalent to their own ancestor, yet he actually came to welcome them personally.
“Congratulations, congratulations.”
“Same here.”
After welcoming them for about two hours, Chen Xuan hammered his waist. Almost all the aristocratic families in Jiang Prefecture had gone in, and he finally had time to rest for a while.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded from the sky.
“The Beast Tamer Sect wishes the Chen family to advance to Rank-8 and specially sent Young Sect Master Wang Shuo to attend the ceremony!” Everyone was stunned on the spot.
The Beast Tamer Sect actually came to watch the ceremony personally!
When the other eighth-rank aristocratic families were promoted, the Beast Tamer Sect had never attended the ceremony.
After all, even if he advanced to the Eighth Stage, it was still nothing to a behemoth like the Beast Tamer Sect.
To be able to send a message saying that the Beast Tamer Sect recognized their grade was already a great privilege.
But now, it was the first time.
Moreover, the person watching the ceremony was not an ordinary person. It was the Beast Tamer Sect’s Young Sect Master!
This made everyone even more shocked.
Chen Xuan was also stunned on the spot. Only after the flying carriage in the sky descended did he recover his senses and hurriedly went forward to welcome it.
“Chen Xuan welcomes young sect master and elders. It is our Chen family’s greatest honor that the Beast Tamer Sect can come to our Chen family to observe the ceremony.”
When Wang Shuo saw Chen Xuan coming to welcome him, he quickly took two steps forward and helped Chen Xuan up with a smile.” Great Elder, there’s no need to be so polite. This is what I should do.””
“Brother Chen and I are friends, and the Chen family is a vassal family of my Beast Tamer Sect.”
Wang Shuo’s kind gesture made the eyes of the aristocratic families pop out.
Since when was the Beast Tamer Sect’s Young Sect Master so polite?
One had to know that even if the Core Formation Patriarch of an Eighth-rank Aristocratic Family was in front of him, Wang Shuo probably wouldn’t say much.
Not to mention, he had made a mistake by acting so kindly.
Perhaps only an elder from a seventh-rank force was worthy of Wang Shuo’s kind treatment.
It seemed that the Chen Clan was already treated as an equal in the eyes of the Beast Trainer Sect.
“Everyone, please come in.” After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Xuan quickly brought Wang Shuo and the others into the Chen family.
At this moment, a loud shout came from the sky again.
“The Deshun Prefecture King’s Mansion wishes to congratulate the Chen Family on advancing to Rank-8. They have specially sent Zhou Yingzhao to attend the ceremony!”
This time, even the people from the Beast Tamer Sect were stunned on the spot.
That was the Deshun Prince’s Mansion!
If it was taken out alone, it could be considered a peak seventh-grade force. Even if Chen Yang was Deshun Prince’s disciple, he was not worthy of such treatment.
Chen Xuan looked at the Beast Tamer Sect and then at the flying chariot that was about to land. For a moment, he was a little conflicted.
Was he bringing the people from Beast Tamer Sect into the residence, or was he going to welcome the De Shun Imperial Residence?
Fortunately, Wang Shuo helped Chen Xuan out.” 1 haven’t seen the young prince in a long time. I really miss him. First Elder, come with me to welcome the young prince.””
When Chen Xuan heard this, it was as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly said,”Good, good, good. Everyone, please follow me.”
After the flying carriage landed, Chen Xuan cupped his hands and bowed.” Welcome to the De Shun Prince’s Residence. It is the Chen family’s greatest honor for Vice Prince De Shun to come and observe the ceremony.”
Zhou Yingzhao, who had alighted from the carriage, helped Chen Xuan up. A smile that was like a spring breeze appeared on his face.” First Elder, there’s no need to be so polite. Where’s my Martial Uncle?””
“The Patriarch is currently preparing to advance to the Eighth Stage, so he can’t come to welcome you.”Chen Xuan said in embarrassment.
When Zhou Yingzhao heard this, he waved his hand.” No need, no need. There’s no reason for Martial Uncle to welcome Martial Nephew. Alright, let’s go in.””
“Oh, Brother Wang is here. Let’s go in and have a drink. We haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
“I’m willing to do as you say.”
The arrival of these two forces in succession had already made everyone so excited that they forgot about time.
After the two forces disappeared for a while, they finally reacted and hurriedly entered the Chen family.
Chen Family, Ancestral Remembrance Platform.
This was the building that the Chen family had built in order to advance to Rank-8. The plaza was the center of the plaza, with a 33-meter-tall platform in the center.
As for the name of the Ancestral Remembrance Platform, it was to warn the Chen family not to forget the hardships their ancestors had gone through when they established the family.
Below the Ancestral Platform, the forces that came to watch the ceremony were divided into two rows by the Chen family.
Zhou Yingzhao and Wang Shuo naturally sat on the left and right.
The rest of the families sat according to their strength.
On the table of the aristocratic families, there were plates of sunflower seeds.
In this regard, everyone did not feel that the Chen family was stingy at all. Instead, they felt that the Chen family was too generous.
This was the sunflower seed of the Devil Vine Sunflower Tree, and it was a Devil Vine Sunflower Tree at the Demon General level. Its sunflower seed had many benefits to martial artists.
The fact that the Chen family could take out this to entertain them made them feel fear and trepidation.
Wang Shuo and Zhou Yingzhao didn’t think much of it.
After all, they were knowledgeable. The sunflower seeds of the Demon General’s Devil Vine Sunflower Tree were nothing. Only the Devil Vine Sunflower Tree of the Demon Venerable level would surprise them slightly.
Time passed. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the Chen family to advance to Rank-8.
Under everyone’s gaze, Yang Chen, who was wearing a brocade robe and a jade crown, walked step by step to the top of the Ancestral Remembrance Platform.
“Chen Family Head Chen Yang is here to pay his respects to the heavens. I hope that the heavens will pity me and allow me to advance to Rank-8!”
As Yang Chen’s voice fell, the two Demon Generals were pressed onto the Ancestral Remembrance Platform.
Amidst his unwilling wails, his head was cut off by the Chen family.
Using demonic beasts to worship the heavens was an ancient system of the human race. Although the Chen family was a beastmaster aristocratic family, they would not do anything special.
Time passed bit by bit. Everyone held their breaths and waited for the Heavenly Dao’s feedback.
After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, a seven-colored light suddenly appeared and circled around Yang Chen before disappearing.
Although the seven-colored light only appeared for a few breaths, it still made the Chen family members extremely excited.
Because this meant that the Heavenly Dao had already recognized the Chen family.
From today onwards, the Chen Family was an eighth-rank family!
“Congratulations to the Chen family, congratulations to the Chen family head!”
Immediately, everyone stood up to congratulate him. Yang Chen also responded with a smile.
“Thank you all for coming. I hope that everyone can drink and laugh in my Chen family and let my Chen family do our part as a host.”
As soon as Yang Chen finished speaking, plates of exquisite dishes made from demon beast meat were placed on the table by the Chen family.
At the same time, the spirit wine refined by the Qing Family was also served to entertain everyone.
Some people who had real goods revealed the origin of this wine, which attracted the envy of everyone.
The Chen family was truly different. In just a short dozen years, there had been such earth-shattering changes.
Following that, Yang Chen led a group of elders and toasted everyone to show the host’s etiquette.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Chen Yang gave Chen Xuan a look.
When Chen Xuan saw this, he stood up and shouted,”The time is up.. Please present your congratulatory gifts!””
