The Longevity Family: Starting from the Branches and Leaves

Lingzhou in the sea of ​​clouds.

Chu family hall.

An old man with a square face sat in the main seat with a solemn expression.

Below him, a middle-aged man with a square face was reporting respectfully, "Ancestor, Haoyang Lingzhou sent a message through the Liang family, hoping that we can join the Chen family."

These two people are the two top cultivators of the Chu family, Chu Xiaocheng and Chu Tianqi.

They are respectively the peak and late stages of True Immortal cultivation.

Below the two men, there were three True Immortal cultivators in the early and middle stages, two men and one woman. When they heard this, they all looked surprised.

"The Liang family actually surrendered to the Chen family?"

"What is the origin of this Chen family?"

"I only heard about the Chen family after the recent sand monster incident. How could they be so powerful that the Liang family was willing to submit to them?"

"Now they actually want my Chu family to submit, how ridiculous."

Several people were talking aloud, their tone sounding somewhat incredulous.

"It is said that this Chen family master is only at the late stage of Sanxian cultivation, but his combat power is amazing. With the help of treasures, he can kill a late stage third-order sand monster."

"The last time the Liang family was besieged by sand monsters, it was this person who led the Chen family cultivators to kill two third-stage late-stage sand monsters."

"In addition, three True Immortals of the Liu family disappeared inexplicably in the Sand Region. This person is most likely responsible."

"After all, the Liu family originally wanted to marry Liang Qingyun, a daughter of the Liang family, but not only did they fail to do so, but Liang Qingyun has now become Chen Ling's wife."

"The Liang family also joined the Chen family."

Chu Tianqi, the head of the Chu family, said slowly.

Some time ago, the Chu family was also attacked by a sand monster, resulting in heavy casualties.

"Ancestor Liang is an old fox. He actually wants to join a scattered immortal family. This situation is weird."

Patriarch Chu frowned slightly.

Although the Chu family and the Liang family are thousands of miles apart.

But they were both from the same eighth-rank family, and both of them were True Immortal cultivators at the peak of their powers, so they had dealt with each other quite a bit.

After all, everyone wants to be the boss in this desert area.

Strive to become a seventh-grade family.

"Ancestor, this is Chen Ling's information."

The head of the Chu family took out a jade slip and handed it to Patriarch Chu.

Then he said in a deep voice, "This person is definitely not simple."

"Several years ago, when I came to the Sand Region, I was only at the initial stage of the False Immortal Cultivation."

"It seems that he has a fairy wood of high grade in his hand. With this fairy wood, he has the ability to fight against enemies of higher levels."

"Later, he married two daughters of the Lin family and seized Lingzhou from the ninth-rank family, the Tian family, to establish his own territory."

"In just a few years, not only did we survive the disaster of the sand monster, but the entire family also became stronger and stronger."

"The three ninth-rank aristocratic families, the Lin family, the Wu family, and the Jiang family, have successively submitted."

"Now, even the eighth-rank aristocratic families, the Liang family and the Yun family, have joined us."

"This person's strength is definitely not as simple as it seems."

Patriarch Chu said solemnly.

Then, he added, "In addition, this man has several wives at home. It seems that these surrendered families are related to him by marriage."

"People like Lin Yunxin from the Lin family, Wu Yanran from the Wu family, Liang Qingyun from the Liang family are all his wives."

"If our Chu family wants to submit, I'm afraid we will have to let our daughter marry him."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes swept over the woman in the white dress who was sitting there.

The woman looked to be about 23 or 24 years old, with fair skin, dignified and pretty features, giving people the feeling of a classical beauty.

The figure is even more graceful.

She is Chu Xianmo, a girl from the Chu family, who has reached the early stage of True Immortal cultivation.

"Brother, what do you mean? I don't want to marry him."

Seeing the look of the Chu family head, Chu Xianmo immediately shook his head and said.

From her eldest brother's words, she could tell that Chen Ling was indeed extraordinary, but she liked loyal men more.

Patriarch Chu smiled helplessly and said, "That's not what I meant."

The other two Chu family True Immortals were also shocked when they heard this.

In other words, in less than ten years, Chen Ling went from being a casual cultivator to building up a force that was no less than that of a seventh-grade family.

How could the people present not be shocked?

Not to mention anything else, just their Chu family has become an eighth-grade family.

It took four generations and thousands of years of hard work to achieve the current situation.

It can be seen how amazing Chen Ling's strength is.

"This kid is definitely not an ordinary person."

At this time, Patriarch Chu's consciousness withdrew from the jade slip and he spoke solemnly.

It would be normal if a noble family surrendered to the Chen family.

But there are four aristocratic families in succession, and there is also a business family like the Yun family.

The Yun family, in particular, is definitely not a simple seventh-grade family.

They are from a business background and are good at investment and management.

If the Chen family didn't have enough potential, they wouldn't have made such a bet.

As for the Liu family, three True Immortals mysteriously disappeared and they suffered such a huge loss, but they did not take action against the Chen family immediately.

This matter really left him a little confused.

"What does the ancestor mean?"

Patriarch Chu asked in a deep voice.

The current situation of the Chu family is not optimistic, and they also have to deal with the sand monster.

If they don't submit to the Chen family, it would be dangerous if the Chen family sends troops to deal with them.

Given the current situation, it would be impossible even for the immortal envoys of the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty to step forward.

"In this situation, there is not much choice."

"The Zixiao Immortal Dynasty has clearly given up on operating the Sand Region, and the war situation with the Jinyuan Immortal Dynasty is not optimistic. Even if the war situation is calmed down, it will take at least a hundred years to recover."

"And the Chen family's rise was too fast. We were not prepared to deal with it at all."

"Not to mention the threat of the sand monster."

"I can only submit to the Chen family first, and I will work out the rest later."

Patriarch Chu glanced at the four people and spoke slowly.

He is not a short-sighted person.

Given the current situation, if the Chu family wants to survive, the first thing they need to do is to overcome the sand monster.

The Sand Demon has now become the most important opponent of their Chu family.

And the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty will no longer send immortal envoys.

Now, it would be the wisest choice to submit to the Chen family and use the power of the Chen family to save the Chu family.

"Ancestor, Chen Ling is just a casual immortal cultivator, why should we submit to him?"

"If we submit to the Chen family, we will no longer have the protection of the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty's luck."

A handsome young man said in a rather unconvinced tone.

"Both the Liang family and the Yun family are willing to submit, so they naturally have their own benefits."

"We don't have to worry."

“As for the luck protection of Zixiao Immortal Dynasty, it is hard to say what the situation of Zixiao Immortal Dynasty will be after this Immortal Dynasty War.”

"And our Chu family's primary mission is to survive this disaster caused by the sand monster."

Patriarch Chu said seriously.

"The disciple understands."

After hearing this, the man bowed in response.

"Ancestor, what should we do?"

The head of the Chu family asked.

Nowadays, the Chu family is often attacked by sand monsters, and the number of sand monsters in each attack is increasing.

If this continues, the Chu family’s defense will be broken sooner or later.

Patriarch Chu hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Chu Xianmo and said sternly, "Tianqi, you go to the Chen family and show that my Chu family is willing to submit."

"And I told them that I hope they can send troops to help our Chu family defeat the sand monster."

"Yes, old man."

The head of the Chu family bowed in response.

Patriarch Chu looked at Chu Xianmo again and said, "Mo'er, go with Tianqi to the Chen family."

"Ancestor, the sand monster may attack our Lingzhou at any time, so I'd better stay and help defend it."

Chu Xianmo frowned and spoke.

He secretly wondered in his heart, was the ancestor going to let him follow the example of other girls from aristocratic families and marry Chen Ling?
"Hey, ancestor, I know Mo'er is thinking about the family."

"However, if things continue like this, more and more sand monsters will gather and our defense formation will be broken sooner or later."

“Once the defense formation is breached, my Chu family will be in danger of life and death.”

"If no other forces come to our aid, our Chu family will be in great danger."

Patriarch Chu sighed slightly.

In his mind, if Chu Xianmo married Chen Ling and Chen Ling could help him defeat the sand monster, it would be totally worth it.

However, he always loved his granddaughter.

Moreover, his father had died in a battle with the sand demon a few days ago, and he couldn't say it for a while.

Hearing this, Chu Xianmo felt conflicted, but in the end he could only nod.

Patriarch Chu hesitated for a moment, then asked Chu Tianqi, "Are there any other suitable women in the clan?"

"Xianhe and Xianyin are still young now."

Chu Tianqi shook his head.

Patriarch Chu said no more.

. . .

On this day, Haoyang Lingzhou was decorated with lights and colors.

The wedding ceremony of Chen Ling and Yun Fei'er was held.

Although Yun Fei'er has lived in the Chen family for a long time.

But there is no official status yet.

And now Yun Fei'er is pregnant.

So after Chen Ling discussed with Yun Jingtian, he married Yun Fei'er.

Otherwise, in a month or two, Yun Fei'er's belly gets bigger and it will be hard to explain.

Chen family hall.

Chen Ling was wearing a red robe and sitting in the main seat.

On the side, Concubine Yun was wearing a red dress with cloud patterns and had a beautiful smile.

Dozens of monks were already seated in the hall.

Most of them are monks from the five major families.

"Luo Shan, the head of the ninth-rank Luo family, is here to congratulate you."

"Yang Feng, the head of the ninth-rank Yang family, is here to congratulate you."

"Shen Qianfa, the head of the ninth-rank Shen family, is here to congratulate you."

Loud calls of names were heard from outside the hall.

These three ninth-rank families are the remaining ninth-rank families in the Sand Region today.

They have also agreed to join the Liang family and submit to the Chen family.

Coming here to celebrate is also a way to express our allegiance.

As the voices left, several figures walked into the hall.

The three figures in front are the three family heads, two of whom are middle-aged men and one is a gray-haired old man.

And behind the three men, by a huge coincidence, there was a woman with them.

These three women are extremely beautiful and have different temperaments.

The one on the left is vigorous and heroic, the one in the middle is delicate and restrained, and the one on the right is bright and tender.

It seems that the three family heads had also found out Chen Ling's temperament before setting off.

This time they brought their tribeswomen with them to test the waters.

"Luo Shan and his clan member Luo Qingrou congratulate Patriarch Chen and his wife on their everlasting love and wishing them a son soon!"

"Yang Feng and his clan member Yang Yaer congratulate Patriarch Chen and his wife on their everlasting love and wishing them a son soon!"

"Shen Qianfa and his clan daughter Shen Yu congratulate Patriarch Chen and his wife on their eternal marriage and wishing them a son soon!"

The three family heads, along with their clan daughters, bowed and congratulated Chen Ling and Yun Fei'er.

"Thank you three family heads!"

Chen Ling and Yun Fei'er both bowed in return.

Then Lin Zhengtong, who was in charge of the reception, led the six people to their seats.

"Chu Tianqi, the head of the Chu family, an eighth-rank family, is here to celebrate."

After a while, the sound of people calling names could be heard outside the hall again.

Then, a tall, square-faced man and a dignified and beautiful woman walked into the hall.

"Chu Tianqi and his clan member Chu Xianmo congratulate Patriarch Chen and his wife on their everlasting love and wishing them a son soon!"

Entering the hall, Chu Tianqi and Chen Ling bowed and congratulated.

"Thank you, Master Chu, for coming all the way here!"

Chen Ling and the other man also bowed in return.

Looking at the situation of these noble families, Chen Ling's face was also full of smiles.

This time, the work of the Liang family head, the cheap father-in-law, seems to be very effective.

Not only did the few remaining families in this sandy area come together to celebrate.

Moreover, they all tacitly brought their tribeswomen with them.

I just don’t know how my father-in-law expressed it to others.

I believe in doing things willingly.

It would be bad if you threatened people secretly.

Of course, they all came here like this.

No matter what, I'm sure you get the meaning.

"Xue Xu, the head of the Xue family, a seventh-rank family, is here to congratulate you."

"Ning Baolan, the head of the Ning family, a seventh-rank family, is here to congratulate you."

At this time, there was another noise outside.

Hearing this voice, everyone present was a little surprised that two heads of seventh-rank families came at once.

The Chen family is really prestigious.

However, these two seventh-rank families are obviously not from Jinyun Immortal City.

Then two figures with distinguished auras walked into the hall.

It is a man and a woman.

The man has an ordinary appearance but a good aura.

The woman has fair skin and beautiful looks, and a very graceful figure.

However, this time both of them came alone and did not bring any women from their tribe.

"Xue Xu congratulates Patriarch Chen and his wife on their everlasting marriage and the birth of a son soon!"

"Ning Baolan congratulates Patriarch Chen and his wife on their everlasting marriage and the birth of a son soon!"

They both bowed and congratulated Chen Ling.

"Thank you both for coming, please take a seat."

Chen Ling and his wife bowed in reply.

The two family heads are from Wuling Fairy City and Yujian Fairy City in the southern region.

It is a cooperative client of the Southern Chamber of Commerce.

We have been cooperating with the Yun family for many years and our relationship is pretty good.

"The auspicious time has come, the bride and groom worship heaven and earth!"

As the names were called out, Chen Ling and Yun Fei'er knelt down to worship heaven and earth.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Couple greetings!"

"The ceremony is over!"

After completing the etiquette, Chen Ling brought his wife to toast with everyone.

First came the heads of the noble families who came to celebrate.

Especially the heads of the Xue family and the Ning family, they came from the south, and the closest distance to the Sand Region was hundreds of thousands of miles.

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Chen Ling.

Chu Xianmo and several other clan girls were also secretly watching Chen Ling.

She has a great appearance and a friendly temperament.

Especially Yun Fei'er, her face was rosy and she looked extremely charming.

Every gesture she made towards Chen Ling was extremely tender.

It can be seen that she really likes Chen Ling.

After several rounds of drinking, Chen Ling took his wife back to the bridal chamber.

"My dear husband, from now on, I am your real wife."

Yun Fei'er smiled tenderly at Chen Ling.

"Fei'er, you have always been my wife in my heart."

Chen Ling said with a smile.

Then he drank the wedding wine with his wife.

Because his wife was pregnant, Chen Ling did not do anything else.

The two of them lay on the bed and chatted.

The main topic of conversation was about the Chamber of Commerce and the future planning of Haoyang Lingzhou.

Yun Fei'er grew up in the Chamber of Commerce and knows much more about the Zixiao Immortal Dynasty and Jinyuan Immortal City than Chen Ling. (End of this chapter)
