Chapter 47: The Five Major Powers of the Yuan Xuan Empire

  "Ah, Old Yi, we meet again." Yan Jian said with a smile on his old face as he walked forward.

  "You old fellow haven't died yet, it's truly beyond expectation." Eise laughed and said: "What, are you coming to ask me to take you out?"

  "Sorry for refusing your kindness back then, but you should understand that at that time I had no way out but death." Yan Jian said with great helplessness.

  "Now that the storm has passed, your rebellious disciple has thoroughly grasped the Magic Mirror Association. He should let you off." Yisi said thoughtfully.

  Yi Si Qing and Yan Jian were originally partners, so Yi Chen wasn't too surprised and quietly listened on the side.

  In their continuous conversation, Yi Chen learned that, at the beginning, Yan Jian was ambushed by his own disciple while identifying the Soul Spirit Stone, resulting in his cultivation being sealed.

  "The Dragon Abyss Continent has many secret techniques, and at first, the teacher was also sealed, resulting in a body that cannot use its cultivation." Yi Chen muttered to himself, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of this matter.

  "It's time for me to leave, I've found a way to lift the seal." Rock Shield said with confidence on his face.

  "I hope you can recover soon. The current Magician's Association is no longer as simple as it used to be, and under the leadership of your good disciple, he has already been in contact with the Gu family." Yisi Qing said with a worried tone.

  "Gu Jia?" Upon hearing these words, a strange color flashed across Yi Chen's eyes.

  The other two major families of the Yuan Xuan Empire are the Gu family, which is also a centuries-old family, but unlike the Yi family, the people of the Gu family are all civil officials of the Yuan Xuan Empire.

  The Gu and Yi families have been at odds for a long time, and can be said to be sworn enemies. The two families have been openly and secretly fighting for hundreds of years, but in the end, no one has emerged victorious.

  "You, the Ye family, hold seven-tenths of the empire's military power. The rulers of the empire have long intended to weaken your influence. They have always been supporting the Gu family; otherwise, with the Ye family's strength, you could easily uproot the Gu family."

  "Now that the Gu family has the support of the Mo Jian Shi Association and the backing of the imperial power holder, I'm afraid you, Yi Xing Qing, are already busy to the point of being overwhelmed, aren't you?" Yan Jian said with a light smile.

  "It's indeed as you said, fortunately I pulled the Jia family to a unified front, otherwise my Yi family would have been ruined long ago." Yi Siqing said in a low voice.

  "It turns out that our Yi family has already formed an alliance with the Jia family." Yi Chen secretly praised, unexpectedly, Yi Siqing's means were so high.

  The Jia family had no power in the Yuan Xuan Empire, but the Jia family was a merchant family, and the wealth they possessed was enough to drive people crazy. Two-thirds of the empire's wealth was controlled by the Jia family.

  However, the Jia family has never been in contact with any forces before, and Yi Siqing can pull the Jia family to cooperate, which shows that his means are not ordinary.

  "You old fellow are indeed not a good person to mess with, having the support of the Jia family, you can contend with the three major forces of the Mo Jian Shi Association." Yan Jian's face flashed with surprise, and then he said these words.

  "It's pointless to keep talking about this, let's leave first and talk about everything when we get back to the Yi house." Yisi Qing smiled and said.

  Everything went very smoothly, Yisi Qing brought Meng Zhi and others, and soon the matter on this side of the dead camp will be handled.

  "Go." After finishing all the things that should be done, Yi Chen followed Yi Siqing and others out of the city gate, then sat on horseback, rushing towards the direction where the imperial capital was located.

  The distance from the dead camp to the imperial capital is not considered far, and Yi Chen's speed is also quite fast. After one hour, they returned to the Yi family, and next was a thorough reshuffle of the Yi family.

  Yi Si Qing's actions were extremely swift, and in just half a day, he had rounded up all the members of the side branch.

  "Fierce thunder sweeps across." Yi Chen summed up in four words after witnessing Yi Qing's methods.

  But those things didn't need him to do, he directly returned to his own residence.

  "Master, you're back!" As soon as he entered the house, a beautiful figure came forward and bowed to Yi Chen.

  "Liu Hong's sister is here and there are no outsiders, so you don't have to be so polite." Yi Chen said with a wave of his hand.

  "Young master, this is the rule." Liu Hong was deeply moved in her heart, but she shook her head and said.

  "Rules?" Yi Chen smiled faintly, then reached out to block Liu Hong's slender waist, pulling her into his arms and laughing: "Here, my words are the rules."

  "The young master is getting more and more mischievous." A blush appeared on Liu Hong's face, but she didn't struggle because she was already used to Yi Chen's actions.

  "Bad? There's worse, want to try?" Yi Chen said with a hook at the corner of his mouth, stroking Liu Hong's tender skin.

  "Master, you two." At this time, a voice with a hint of crying sounded from the doorway.

  "Liu Yumei, what's wrong with you?"

  Turning his head to look back, Yi Chen found that the person who came was Liu Yu, but there were tear marks on her face. He opened his mouth to ask.

  "I followed Master Yi Kui's orders and went to the Armory Pavilion to fetch a few things, but unexpectedly ran into those little brats from the Gu family causing trouble at the Armory Pavilion."

  Liu Yu's face was streaked with tears, and what was even more infuriating was that there was a bruise on her right hand.

  The Yi family also had its own private business, and the largest armory in the Imperial City was opened by the Yi family. However, there would often be geniuses from the Gu family who would go to cause trouble.

  "Ah-yeh has to deal with family matters, nothing to do with you." Yi Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but when he saw the bruise on Liu Yu's hand, anger appeared on his face.

  "Follow me." Yi Chen waved his hand, gesturing for Liu Yu and her sister to follow.

  "Master, where are we going?" asked the two sisters, Liu Yu and her sister.

  "Discussing the way of justice, taking advantage of the situation, and beating a dog." The corner of his mouth curled up in a cold smile as Yi Chen spoke a sentence devoid of emotional fluctuations.

  ……

  The emperor is the most prosperous place in the Yuan Xuan Empire. On the east side, there is a commercial square with the largest flow of people every day.

  50% of the empire's gold coins are in circulation here, which can be seen from the large number of transactions every day.

  This is also a place full of struggle, good territory can earn more benefits, so the surface is bright and beautiful, but the dark alleys are filled with darkness.

  The largest land occupiers are the three major families and the imperial rulers, with the Yi family in the east, the Gu family in the west, the Jia family in the south, and the imperial rulers' occupation is also in the west.

  At this time, in front of a commercial building with the sign "Military Pavilion" on the east side of Yi's home, five young men were standing outside, shouting loudly.

  "Yi Jia Guo is really a gathering place for trash. If someone smashed their store, no one would even dare to come out and breathe, it's so boring."

  "Not just that, why don't we make it bigger this time and dismantle their signboard? Let's see if they still have the face to come here and open a store after being humiliated."
