Kong Yu nodded and said, "Yes, it's that Fucha. But he also has another identity: he is the disciple of Elder Fang Zhongyi. This news will be announced at the same time as our marriage alliance."

The elders of the Kong family were stunned again, and then their expressions changed once more. If their expressions changed before because they did not understand why they wanted to form a marriage alliance with Fucha, then this time their expressions changed because joy appeared on their faces.

They knew all too well what a Supreme Elder represented. With a Supreme Elder in charge, no one in the family would dare to mess with them. If it weren't for Kong Ming in charge, the Kong family wouldn't be where they are today. If Kong Ming's lifespan wasn't nearing its end, they wouldn't be so tolerant. But if they really formed a marriage alliance with Fucha, and Fucha had Fang Zhongyi behind him, then immediately no one would dare to provoke the Kong family anymore.

Originally, the clan elders were against this, but now that they heard that Fucha was backed by Fang Zhongyi, they immediately agreed. One elder immediately said, "Good, that's great! We'll go and look for suitable women in the clan right away. We must choose a good one." The others all nodded in agreement.

Arranged marriages are perfectly normal in these large families. Some might say that arranged marriages are an oppression of women. But you also need to understand one thing: you've had a better life than ordinary people since childhood in your family. The reason you're better off is because your family supports you and allows you to live this kind of life. So when you need to give back to your family, you call it oppression? You only want to enjoy yourself and don't want to give anything? That's impossible. Therefore, arranged marriages are perfectly normal in those large families.

If you enjoy things that ordinary people can't, then of course you have to give something in return. That's fair. If you only enjoy without giving anything in return, then your family won't last long.

Kong Yu nodded and said, "Alright, it's good that everyone agrees. Let's make preparations and announce the news in three days. After the news is announced in Chuyun, Fucha and our Kong family will definitely become the focus of everyone's attention. At this time, we must be careful to prevent them from joining forces against us. However, our Kong family is not to be trifled with. We have endured long enough over the years. It's time to let them know our strength. Three days after the news is announced, the Kong family will begin to take back the benefits that Chuyun had previously given us. No matter who took them from us, they must return them to us. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

Upon hearing Kong Yu's words, the members of the Kong family were all invigorated. The Kong family had kept a low profile for long enough; it was time to properly demonstrate their strength.

They all responded. Kong Yu looked at them and then said, "Alright, everyone go and get ready. But remember, keep a low profile for the next two days and don't let anyone see anything. We're going to catch them off guard."

The members of the Kong family all responded, then stood up, bowed to Kong Yu, and turned to leave. Kong Yu watched them leave and returned to his room. He knew he would be busy from now on. Sure enough, soon many family documents were delivered to him, and Kong Yu processed them one by one.

It wasn't until evening that Kong Yu finished dealing with the family matters. He returned to his quiet room, took out the teleportation array Kong Ming had given him, examined it carefully, and then disappeared in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already in the Blood Slaughter Sect.

The next morning, Kong Yu appeared in the meditation room again. He glanced at the room, then let out a long breath. A smile appeared on his face, and he murmured, "So everyone in the sect has several lives. No wonder the ancestor didn't feel any heartache when he mentioned turning everyone in the family into the undead. It turns out there was no need to feel heartache at all."

Then Kong Yu stood up and went to his study. Soon after, a large number of documents were delivered to his study, and Kong Yu began to work again.

Two days passed quickly. During these two days, they selected a woman from the Kong family and decided to arrange a marriage between her and Fucha. The Kong family even arranged for Fucha to meet her. Fucha was very satisfied with this woman from the Kong family named Kong Ling. Although she was a daughter of the Kong family, she had a very good personality and was not at all spoiled. On the contrary, she was very understanding, which was exactly what Fucha needed.

With Fucha's agreement, the matter was settled, and the day came for the announcement of the marriage.

This day might have seemed like an ordinary day to the people of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, but it was anything but. When they woke up in the morning, they thought it was just another ordinary day, but they were quickly stunned by two pieces of news that made this ordinary day anything but ordinary.

The Kong family suddenly announced that they would marry their eldest daughter, Kong Ling, to Fucha, making Fucha the son-in-law of Kong You.

The news itself was already incredibly explosive, but then Fang Zhongyi suddenly announced that he had officially accepted Fucha as his disciple. These two pieces of news immediately shook the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. Fang Zhongyi was a Supreme Elder, but he wasn't the only Supreme Elder in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, and he was one of the younger, weaker, and less prominent Supreme Elders.

Fucha, one of the core disciples of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, originally wanted to compete for the position of sect leader, but he was tricked by everyone and was assigned to the vassal hall as the deputy hall master, losing his qualification to become the sect leader.

The Kong family was a clan whose patriarch was nearing the end of his life and was on the verge of decline. The three of them were all people who were not very successful, but now that these three groups had joined forces, the situation immediately changed.

The Kong family had no outstanding young members, but now they have one. Fucha is the Kong family's son-in-law, so he is naturally considered a member of the Kong family. He has become the face of the Kong family's younger generation.

Fucha was a core disciple from a commoner background who had no power of his own. Now he did. The Kong family was a powerful family in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. With the support of the Kong family, he was no longer a commoner core disciple. All those who wanted to compete for the position of sect leader could no longer exclude him. Although he was still the deputy hall master of the vassal hall, this position would not only not become an obstacle to his struggle for the position of sect leader, but would become an advantage for him. After all, he was the only core disciple who was still in office.

Fang Zhongyi, the Supreme Elder who was not valued by many people before, now has his own power and is one of the strongest families in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. It can be said that this is a win-win-win cooperation.

All the major and middle-class families are studying what changes this matter will bring to the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, so they have all begun to pay attention to it.

Just then, another piece of news spread: Kongming announced his seclusion. Upon hearing this news, the people of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace, recalling Fang Zhongyi's previous visit to Kongming and Kongming's summons of Kong Yu, connected these events together. They believed that Kongming might have been the one who summoned Fang Zhongyi. In their view, Kongming was orchestrating all of this. Realizing that his lifespan was running out, he devised this plan to find a new backer for the Kong family, thus creating a win-win-win situation.

This made those families who had previously taken advantage of the Kong family somewhat uneasy. Some of the more timid families, upon hearing about this, immediately sent people to the Kong family's door, using the pretext of congratulations, to return the favors they had previously taken. However, some of the bolder families remained silent. Although they also sent people to the Kong family's door with gifts, they did not return the favors they had previously taken. They wanted to see what the Kong family would do next. They remembered that Kong Yu was relatively soft-hearted, and they believed that Kong Yu might not dare to do anything to them.

However, they were wrong this time. Kong Yu was indeed a bit soft-hearted, but that was because he had too many concerns. He was worried that the Kong family would be purged after Kong Ming passed away. Now that he was no longer worried, he certainly wouldn't be polite. So, right after the Kong family and Fucha announced their marriage alliance, the Kong family immediately began to attack everywhere, directly targeting those families that had taken advantage of them, and taking back everything that their family had lost.

None of the families expected the Kong family to actually make a move so suddenly. They were completely unprepared and the Kong family was able to snatch everything back in one fell swoop. It can be said that the Kong family's actions this time completely caught them off guard, leaving them no time to react.

By the time those people realized what was happening, they found that the Kong family's operation was almost over. Everything that the Kong family had lost had returned to them, and some families had even suffered losses, which was something no one had expected.

It was precisely because of the Kong family's actions that the entire Nine Suns Immortal Palace was in turmoil. Some families knew they were in the wrong, and those benefits were originally taken from the Kong family. Now that the Kong family had taken them back, there was nothing more to say, and they could just accept it.

However, there are some families who don't think they did anything wrong. They think that if the Kong family had fallen into decline, then it was only right that their belongings were stolen. Now that they are taking them back, there is no reason for it.

This is essentially robber logic. "I robbed you when you were weak, and now that you're strong, you've taken your things back, so it's your fault." That's robber logic. Fortunately, the Kong family isn't exactly a place of reason. "I accepted being robbed when we were weak, but now that we're strong, if I can't get everything back, what's the point of having a powerful backer?" Therefore, the Kong family doesn't care what others think; they just want to get their things back first. Although they know this will anger other families, they still do it. They must rebuild the Kong family's lost prestige; otherwise, they'll become a pushover that anyone can trample on. Therefore, the Kong family's attitude this time is unusually tough, something no one expected. (End of Chapter)
