The simple and solemn hall, under the erosion of time, the walls have been a little mottled, and the pictures and texts on the sixteen bronze ancient pillars that support the hall have lost their original color, but for this ancient hall, this does not mean that it is dilapidated and unbearable, on the contrary, because these historical traces add a bit of mystery.

However, at this time, there was a strange silence in the hall, and a strange and tense atmosphere was permeating the surroundings.

On the throne, a man of about thirty feet was lazily holding his head, his eyes slightly closed, as if thinking about something.

More than 100 seats at both ends of the hall were full of people, and at this time, everyone present was arguing fiercely, and the atmosphere was extremely fierce.

"That's enough!" An angry voice caused the originally noisy hall to suddenly fall into an eerie dead silence, and the man on the throne suddenly opened his eyes and slowly swept towards everyone present.

The cold gaze made everyone present involuntarily lower their heads, not daring to look at them, "After discussing for a long time, this is the result of your discussion?"

faint but full of oppressive force, making the already tense atmosphere in the hall even more oppressive at this time, as if the surrounding air was condensed, suffocating everyone present.

This man is Yang Ao, the head of the Yang family, one of the four major families in Tiandu at present, and he is also the most outstanding genius of the Yang family for hundreds of thousands of years.

Although Yang Ao is still young, his cultivation has already reached a height that many people cannot reach in a lifetime.

In addition to the royal family to which the supreme Lord of the Heavenly Realm belongs, there are four other major families in the Heavenly Capital, they are the Yun family, the Feng family, the Shangguan family, and the Yang family. The four major families not only have great power in the heavens, but also have a non-negligible influence in the heavens and all worlds, so even the royal family has to give some face.

Yang Ao is not only unfathomable in cultivation, but also has a very high talent in management, since Yang Ao succeeded to the position of the head of the family, he took a series of thunderous measures, abandoned a series of drawbacks, and applied both grace and power, so that the Yang family, which was originally at the end, has been able to develop rapidly in just one hundred years, and there is a faint tendency to surpass the other three.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Ao glanced at an old man with gray hair: "Great Elder, tell me what you think."

"Yes, the head of the family," the old man replied, and continued: "The head of the family, the old man thinks that the marriage between the eldest lady and His Royal Highness Di Xiao is a golden opportunity for our Yang family to take advantage of the opportunity to develop, and I hope that the head of the family will not miss it!"

This old man is the Great Elder of the Hall of Elders, this person is in a high position in the Yang family, and his mind is deep, and his power in the clan is deep-rooted, even Yang Ao is very jealous of him.

"The head of the house must not listen to his nonsense," I saw a handsome man in white hurriedly stand up and say, Yang Ao glanced at the man without a trace and signaled him not to speak yet, the man saw this, so he had to reluctantly return to his seat. Yang Ao then looked at the Great Elder with slightly raised eyelids and said sarcastically: "Opportunity, Great Elder, you can tell me, I would like to hear what kind of opportunity the Great Elder said."

"Don't dare," the Great Elder arched his hand, and then directly said his inner thoughts as if he hadn't heard the man's tone mockingly: "If the eldest lady can marry His Royal Highness Emperor Xiao, then it will make our relationship with the imperial family closer, so that relying on this relationship, we can get more convenience, and we can also get the support of the imperial family, so why worry that the Yang family can't grow rapidly?"

Without waiting for the others to refute the Great Elder, he continued: " From the ancient times to the present, in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, there are very few families in the Heavenly Realm that can marry the royal family, and those families who marry the royal family have all developed into giants, such as the Shangguan family and the Yun family, which are listed as the four major families of the heavenly capital with us, are typical examples, they have developed from a small second-rate family to a giant in less than 100,000 years, and we don't know how many clansmen and disciples have sacrificed to go through an unknown number of hardships to achieve today's achievements, the pros and cons I think the master of the family understands best。 ”

After listening to the words of the Great Elder, a whisper began in the main hall.

Seeing this, the Great Elder knew that his words had a role, and continued to agitate and said: "This time, it is rare that His Royal Highness Emperor Xiao is favored by the eldest lady, if you grasp the opportunity well, you can not only consolidate the transcendent status of my Yang family in the four major families of Tiandu, but also use this relationship to pave the way for my Yang family in the future, even if it is easy to surpass the other three families, please think twice, don't miss such a good opportunity." The sincerity in his tone was palpable.

"Oh, it's rare, so it's a blessing for him to take a fancy to my Yang Ao's daughter," the man's tone was light, but he looked directly at the Great Elder with murderous intent.

Seeing that Yang Ao was angry, the Great Elder did not have a trace of fear, and explained unhurriedly: "The old man does not mean this, please check the head of the family, the old man means that the young lady is extremely talented, and His Royal Highness Emperor Xiao himself is also one of the outstanding geniuses in the Ten Thousand Worlds, and his cultivation at a young age is already extraordinary, and he is also of good character and handsome, so ......

"So should I say that your Great Elder is as wise as a torch?" At this time, the man who had just spoken out couldn't hold back any longer, and then said sarcastically.

Yang Ao saw that it was him again, and shook his head: "This guy always can't sit still" The tone was helpless, and he could only shake his head helplessly about his behavior, so he didn't stop it anymore and watched it quietly.

"The Great Elder said that Di Xiao is of good character, how old are you, Great Elder, you are so dizzy that you can't even see clearly, how much benefit has he given you, is it worth your voice for him like this? Or can I directly understand that you have already taken refuge in him? That's why you are talking to him like this?" The man's words could be described as heart-wrenching, and the Great Elder's originally triumphant expression instantly became like stagnant water.

The Great Elder glanced at the man who spoke with resentment and vicious eyes, and then bowed his hand to Yang Ao and said: "The head of the family is Mingjian, the old man is loyal to the family, and he has no second thoughts, the old man is all for the sake of the future development of the family, and I hope that the head of the family will be clear, don't listen to the demagoguery of some villains and miss the opportunity!"

After listening to the Great Elder's defense, the man said in his heart: "This old guy is really an old fox, not only pushing the responsibility cleanly, but also biting me back, which is really hateful."

Immediately, the man looked at the Great Elder with a playful tone: "People with ulterior motives are talking about yourself", the Great Elder just wanted to say something, but before he could speak, the man preemptively said: "Great Elder, don't be busy getting angry first, you said that Di Xiao is of good character, then I have to ask you if you are old."

"Ask what?" the Great Elder said gloomily.

As if he hadn't seen the Great Elder's gloomy face, the man asked sharply: "May I ask the Great Elder, buying people's hearts, playing with power, framing and planting false goods, and harboring evil intentions, but what a gentleman does?

"It's just your personal bias, what evidence do you have to prove it?" argued the Grand Elder.

"Evidence? Since you asked me for evidence, then I will give you evidence" Then he said: "Over the years, Emperor Xiao has actively won over important ministers in the court, eliminated dissidents, and frequently installed cronies to blend into the army in a vain attempt to get involved in the army.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that some time ago, the daughter of the sect master of a small sect was abandoned by him after being toyed with, and finally the woman committed suicide in shame, if you count it like this, I still have one less obscene and shameless one! Although he handled this matter very secretly, as long as someone with a heart casually went to check it, the truth will be revealed, you have ulterior motives to push the fence into the fire pit, what kind of intentions are you?" Speaking of this, the man glared angrily.

"Ye Changkong, I have repeatedly endured you, don't go too far," the Great Elder interrupted the man's words and yelled angrily.

"Hey, the Great Elder is busy getting angry, I haven't finished my words yet, and then the man instantly changed his face and said with a smile: "The Great Elder heard that it has been a long time since he was stuck in the Emperor's Ninth Fold, and his longevity is approaching, if he can't break through for a long time, I suggest that you resign from the position of elder and find a quiet place to retire with peace of mind, so as not to always think about how to calculate others all day long, so that a good person has to be afraid all day long in order to prevent your plots, you should accumulate virtue and do good, what do you say?"

"Ye Changkong, don't deceive people too much" The Great Elder trembled with anger, and after taking a deep look at the man, he arched his hand to Yang Ao and said: "Family Master, Ye Changkong is so unpopular in his eyes, he has humiliated me several times, if he is not punished, the old man will feel nothing, but I am afraid it will make the other disciples feel cold!"

Yang Ao couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this scene, but he still didn't laugh after all, and said in his heart: "It's worthy of the sky, this mouth is so sharp everywhere!" But as the head of the family, what he should do still has to be done, and he immediately looked at the Great Elder quietly: "I have my own decision, the Great Elder should step back first." ”

Immediately looked at Ye Changkong, the two of them made eye contact and understood, and said: "Ye Changkong, you speak disrespectfully, insult the Great Elder, and commit the following crimes, and you have to be punished, you will be punished for ten years, can you be convinced?"

Ye Changkong held back a smile and said cynically: "Convincing, convincing, I don't have the slightest opinion." ”

The Great Elder was just about to say something, when he suddenly felt two fierce lights looking directly at him: "Hmm, does the Great Elder have an opinion on my decision?" The elder hurriedly said: "The head of the family is fair and strict, and the old man does not dare to have an opinion," After speaking, he retreated to his seat stupidly.

"Then who else has an opinion?" Yang Ao's gaze swept towards everyone, and at this time, everyone looked at his fierce gaze, how dare they have an opinion.

Immediately said: "Since I have no opinions, then let me say a few words", said and slowly got up, and a momentum of looking at the world spread around Yang Ao......
