Successful alliance

"Yang Quan, you lead the way and go sit with Qin Ming. Consider it witnessing the formal Alliance between the two families. I won't be going; I have already met with Old Ancestor You," Old Ancestor Yanghua said.

This Alliance had actually already been finalized; now it was just going through the motions, and also letting Qin Ming familiarize himself with the place.

Under Yang Quan's guidance, the group toured the You Family once more, effectively completing the Alliance.

On the way back, the Ouyang Family Head held two space rings, unable to react for a moment.

Because he saw that inside the two space rings were countless treasures. Although he had never seen these treasures in person, he had seen some of them in ancient texts. They were all priceless treasures, the kind he wouldn't even dare to imagine.

Qin Ming saw the Ouyang Family Head dazed and asked, "What is wrong, Elder Ouyang?"

"Qin Ming, what kind of families are those two exactly? Just now you addressed them as Venerables; what does that actually mean?" The Ouyang Family Head looked at Qin Ming solemnly and asked.

Qin Ming thought for a moment and said, "You have probably never heard of these two families. Even if I told you, you might not understand."

"Let me put it this way: do you know of the Great Xia Dynasty Royal Family?" Qin Ming asked.

"Of course I know. The Great Xia Dynasty Royal Family is responsible for appointing city lords throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty and is the owner of the Great Xia Dynasty on the surface." The Ouyang Family Head did not know why Qin Ming brought up the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Yan City has the Five Great Families: the Yang Family, You Family, Sima Family, Jin Family, and Zhao Family. The combined Power of these Five Great Families suppresses the Great Xia Dynasty Royal Family," Qin Ming explained.

"This… this…" The Ouyang Family Head was too shocked to speak. "Then what does Venerable mean?"

"A Martial Venerable Expert!"

Qin Ming said.

"Hiss!" The Ouyang Family Head gasped. Good heavens, he had just spoken to a Martial Venerable, and the place he was a guest at was one of the top Powers on the continent.

Moreover, his Ouyang Family had formed an Alliance with such families; it was truly unimaginable.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the Ouyang Family was not worthy of forming an Alliance with Qin Ming. However, when the Qin Family was down on their luck, they had happened to form an Alliance with them.

Qin Ming was not the type of person who would shun poor relatives once he became wealthy, which is why their Alliance relationship had never been dissolved.

"Does that mean the Ouyang Family can act with impunity in Liu City now?" The Ouyang Family Head muttered.

He suddenly felt that forming an Alliance with the Qin Family was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

"You have been able to do that for a long time," Qin Ming smiled. He knew the Ouyang Family Head was just joking.

However, Qin Ming had actually been sending people to protect the Ouyang Family all along; the Ouyang Family Head just didn't know about it.

This time, by forming an Alliance with the Yang Family and You Family, even though neither Family said anything, they would certainly treat the Ouyang Family as one of their own and send a Martial Emperor or two to protect them. The Ouyang Family could indeed act with impunity.

Not just in Liu City, but throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty, they could do so everywhere except for a few Major Powers.

…

"We have arrived," the red-browed elder from the Pill Alliance said indifferently, looking at the mansion below.

The White-Bearded Elder beside him nodded.

"Let's go down."

"Which Venerable has arrived?" A deep voice came from inside the mansion.

The red-browed elder and the White-Bearded Elder appeared in front of the person who had called out.

"Venerable Red-Brow!" The person's expression changed upon seeing the two who had suddenly appeared.

"I want to see your Old Ancestor," the red-browed elder said.
