Chapter 1930 - 1930 The Storm Is About to Rise
1930 The Storm Is About to Rise
“I remember.” She put away the Heavenly Square Cauldron and walked toward Rong Xiu. “What’s the matter?”
Rong Xiu remarked, “A portion of the people we fought at that time were also from Black Demon Hole.”
Shock flashed across Chu Liuyue’s eyes before her expression returned to normal. “…I should’ve known…”
At that time, there were all kinds of people in Peach Blossom Dock, so n.o.body knew each other’s ident.i.ties. Moreover, there were even more people involved in s.n.a.t.c.hing treasures.
!!
It was impossible to investigate everyone’s background.
At that time, she didn’t know that she had obtained a top-notch legendary weapon, so she didn’t pay much attention to it after the matter was over.
Now that I think about it, the people from Black Demon Hole had come for the black s.h.i.+eld from the very beginning? Or perhaps, it was also for the music score in my body… Chu Liuyue knitted her brows slightly.
Rong Xiu reached out to her, hugged her, and kissed her between the eyebrows. “Don’t worry. No matter who comes, I’m here.”
Chu Liuyue looked up and glanced at him. “You mean… the people from Black Demon Hole and the Nan family will come here?”
The corner of Rong Xiu’s lips curled up. She is always smart and can always guess what I mean immediately.
“I don’t think they’re the only ones.” Rong Xiu held her waist and intertwined his fingers with hers.
A dark look then flashed across his eyes. “Peach Blossom Dock is a treasure land. Over the years, many people have coveted it, but they’ve all suffered from the unstable barrier and haven’t been able to make a move. Now that you’ve taken down Peach Blossom Dock, it will undoubtedly attract the envy of many people.”
Actually, she had already thought of this. Over the past few days, she had been asking Cen Yi and the others to deal with the various matters at Peach Blossom Dock in order to prepare for these impending crises.
However, that might not be enough.
“The people from the Sky-Cloud Empire will be here soon. This Peach Blossom Dock is yours. n.o.body can s.n.a.t.c.h it from you.”
Rong Xiu’s voice was light and slow, but it carried a powerful pressure that couldn’t be disobeyed!
There seemed to be waves surging in the depths of his eyes.
Chu Liuyue nodded lightly. “Don’t worry. I can keep my own things.”
…
The news regarding Chu Liuyue’s occupation of Peach Blossom Dock quickly spread in the G.o.d Residence Realm.
The various families were in an uproar and were shocked!
Peach Blossom Dock—that was a piece of cake that countless people in the G.o.d Residence Realm were secretly watching!
Abundant natural energy, excellent geographical location, endless resources that had never been developed and used… It was simply an ideal new world!
Even though countless people had returned in defeat over the years, there were still many people who held onto that little hope that they could find an opportunity to take Peach Blossom Dock for themselves.
Most of the people who had this thought were from first-rate aristocratic families. Although the weaker ones had high hopes, they also knew that they had no chance of success.
Countless people had thought of this question: Who would Peach Blossom Dock belong to in the end?
All the top-notch aristocratic families in the G.o.d Residence Realm had such expectations of themselves. But now, before anyone could react, news had come that Peach Blossom Dock had been taken down.
Moreover, the person who did it was Chu Liuyue!
Who was she? The princess consort of Rong Xiu, the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace!
The personal disciple of Ling Xiao Academy’s director, Nan Suhuai!
The descendant of a supreme Armory Refinement Master, Shangguan Jing!
This name had recently become famous in the entire G.o.d Residence Realm. It wasn’t just due to these ident.i.ties but also due to her close relations.h.i.+p with the two ancient legendary fiend clans!
Who didn’t know that her contracted legendary fiend was the Red-gold heavenly phoenix clan’s young mistress?
Everyone knew that the great phoenix dragon clan leader had specially gone to the Sky-Cloud Empire to send congratulatory gifts to her and Rong Xiu!
Even so, it was still unbelievable that she had occupied Peach Blossom Dock. Not to mention it was rumored that she had relied on her own strength to reconstruct the barrier of Peach Blossom Dock!
It was simply a fantasy!
So many first-rate aristocratic families had once tried their best to take down Peach Blossom Dock, but they had all failed!
What right did such a young woman have to do it?
n.o.body wanted to believe it. However, the subsequent news made them believe that the current Peach Blossom Dock was indeed completely under her control.
…
“I heard that her subordinates are already in charge of the entire Peach Blossom Dock. The two entrances to Peach Blossom Dock, one connecting to the gate realm and the other facing the interior, are already guarded by her people. Anyone entering or leaving has to undergo strict scrutiny.”
At the Yi family.
In front of the ancestral hall, a solemn family meeting was being held.
All the important figures of the Yi family were already gathered here.
Originally, the most important thing for them today was to choose the young master of the Yi family. In the end, the news regarding Peach Blossom Dock came abruptly, causing an uproar.
They couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ft part of their attention to Peach Blossom Dock.
Although the Yi family rarely got involved in these matters in the G.o.d Residence Realm, it didn’t mean that they didn’t pay attention. Moreover, the Yi family had actually been eyeing Peach Blossom Dock all these years.
Before they could make a move, someone beat him to it. Who could bear it?
An old man stroked his beard and sighed. “It’s only been a few days… This speed is really fast!”
“Hmph, how can she control Peach Blossom Dock alone? I think the power behind this matter is most likely from the Sky-Cloud Empire!” Another old man sneered.
Although he said it was the Sky-Cloud Empire, he was actually referring to Rong Xiu.
Many people nodded in agreement.
Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue were husband and wife, so how could Rong Xiu not have done this?
“I heard that the few subordinates Shangguan Yue brought over followed her outside the G.o.d Residence Realm. They probably don’t have much ability and can’t handle the various matters at Peach Blossom Dock well. Behind this… should be the people from the Sky-Cloud Empire helping?” someone guessed.
Actually, more than one person thought so. Almost everyone had the same thought.
The old man who spoke first frowned and said hesitantly, “But… I received news that Shangguan Yue has a subordinate who seems to have been in Peach Blossom Dock a few years ago and is doing very well. He seems to be called Boss San… He’s quite famous.”
Didn’t this prove that she and her subordinates were actually quite capable?
But most people were unimpressed.
“Who knows what’s hidden here? Anyway, I think that although Shangguan Yue is presumably in charge of Peach Blossom Dock… In fact, she should’ve relied on the help of many people.”
Just think about how powerful her supporters were!
“What a pity! Such a good place!”
…
Jun Jiuqing sat in his seat and lowered his eyes slightly, his expression unreadable.
Just as everyone was sighing, Yi Wentao walked out of the ancestral hall.
Everyone quickly fell silent.
“I already have a suitable candidate to be Young Master Yi.” Yi Wentao’s gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on Jun Jiuqing.
