Chapter 9 The Clans Meet
"Patriarch, in two months, it will be the day when the various families in Jinhuan City will be martial, and our Zhang family still has one person left!"
In the meeting hall of Zhang's mansion, a tall and thin old man got up and clenched his fists and said to Zhang Tai on the main seat.
The hall was full, and all the people present were the older generation who could speak to the Zhang family, but at this time, the atmosphere in the hall was lifeless, and everyone was bitter and bowed their heads silently.
"If it really doesn't work, this year's clans will be martial, so let's give up a place!"
Zhang Tai lowered his head and thought hard for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly, a little helpless.
"Give up? The martial arts of the clans are related to the management of Chengzhongfang City next year, and it is the most prosperous place in Jinhuan City!"
"Yes, if this opportunity is given to someone else's family, then what will we eat next year!"
"The Xu family in the south of the city and the Sun family in the west of the city are eyeing that place, if they let the two families win the right to operate, our Zhang family is afraid that sooner or later we will be kicked out of the 'three major families' of Jinhuan City..."
Zhang Tai's voice just fell, and everyone in the seats on both sides was in an uproar, everyone said a word, I said a word, but the opinions were unified, obviously thinking that Zhang Tai's decision was too hasty.
"Hey, the year before last, the eldest young master and the second young master won the first and second places for our Zhang family in one fell swoop, but it's a pity that the third young master...."
In the hall, I don't know who muttered in a low voice, although the voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear into everyone's ears, and suddenly the hall was silent, and there was a sound of needles falling.
In the Zhang family, Yang Yan's cultivation and Zi Ling's identity are like taboos, especially when this matter is mentioned in front of Zhang Tai.
The man also seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and Zhang Tai, who glanced at the main seat, suddenly sank his face, and was staring at him coldly, so he had to swallow the words behind him.
"Okay, during this time, you should hurry up and find a suitable candidate, if you can't find it, give up a place!"
"Even if you lose the right to operate that piece of Fang City in the city, you won't be starved to death! Okay, don't bring it up again, let's disperse!"
Zhang Tai waved his hand impatiently and said.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed bitterly, and walked out.
It's just that no one noticed that next to a big tree outside the door of the hall, there was a thin young man.
Early in the morning, Yang Yan didn't bother to wash, so he happily ran towards Zhang Tai's residence, eager to share the good news that he could absorb the aura of heaven and earth with his father.
Unexpectedly, on the way, he happened to pass by the council hall, and heard that his father was discussing with many elders of the clan, so he did not enter to disturb him, but stopped and hid and listened to what they were talking about.
When he heard someone mention himself, Yang Yan couldn't help but sneak a glance into the hall.
Seeing that although his father was angry, Yang Yan still felt something else in his eyes.
It was anger mixed with a hint of self-blame and helplessness.
Yes, what have you done for your father and the Zhang family in the past 14 years? The answer is no.
Over the years, he has actually complained in his heart, complaining that his father, as the head of the family, why he should be looked down upon, why when he faced ridicule, ridicule, and even provocation from others, his father did not come forward to stop it, and why when he was low and hesitant, his father did not appear by his side to comfort him and talk to him.
He had always asked for it from his father, but he had never done anything for him.
As the head of a clan, mixed between himself and the others, and hearing the ridicule and ridicule of others for his son, how could his father's heart feel good? Even so, there are still busy things in the clan waiting for him to deal with every day, and who can he talk to about the pain in his heart?
Now in public, the matter of his son's stagnation has been raised again, and the father does not have the kind of anger that hates iron and steel, and some only blame himself deeply, he is blaming himself, why he is not able to expel the cold poison in his son's body, why is he the head of a clan unable to block everyone's mouth!
"Father, this time, the 'All Clans Martial Arts', the interests of the Zhang family, I will win them back for you!"
At this time, Yang Yan's eyes were already red, hot tears kept rolling in his eyes, his fists were clenched, his green muscles were bursting up, and he made up his mind in his heart!
"All clans will be martial," is a grand event in Jin Huan City that has lasted for decades, and its appearance originated from various families in Jin Huan City, and their Zhang family, Sun family, Xu family and become the three major families of Jin Huan City, which play a leading role.
The area in the city of Jin Huan City has always been the most prosperous and lively place, where the economy is prosperous, every inch of land is gold, and the fat meat is so fast, which naturally attracts the major families in the city to rob, and the resulting martial arts fights and riots emerge in endlessly, among which the main three forces are the three major families.
Later, as things continued to deteriorate, it finally attracted Qingxuanmen to send a strong man to mediate the matter.
As one of the top gate factions in Jinju, it seems that it is indispensable to maintain the stability of the city to which Jinju belongs.
In the end, the various families in Jinhuan City agreed to hold a 'meeting of all clans' once a year, allowing each family to select the younger generation of the three clans who were less than fifteen years old, and distribute resources in the city in the form of a competition.
The development potential of a family cannot be measured by the number of strong people of the older generation in the clan, but by the talent and ability of the younger generation.
The top three of the 'Pig Clan Martial Arts' can equally share the management rights of the area in the city of Jinhuan City, and the family of the contestant who won the first place will also receive some magic weapons and pills rewarded by the Qingxuanmen.
In this way, under the intervention of Qingxuanmen's grace and might, the various families in Jinhuan City settled down, and there were few soldiers, and the 'martial arts' naturally became a new battlefield for the major families without gunpowder. As of this year, it is the thirteenth year that the 'Clans Meeting' has been held.
In last year's 'All Clans Martial Arts', the top two were won by the Xu family and the Sun family, while the Zhang family was at the bottom of the three major families, ranking third.
This year's situation is even less optimistic, Zhang Quan and Zhang Sheng have exceeded the age of the competition, and the younger generation of the clan who are the same age as Yang Yan only have two levels of strength that have reached the 'two layers of the spiritual realm', and there are still a few candidates for the first layer of the spiritual realm, but according to the strength of the previous contestants, the first layer of the spiritual realm has no possibility of impacting the top three at all.
The news spread among the clan, which undoubtedly caused an uproar, and his father hurriedly hurried Zhang Ao to discuss countermeasures with the clansmen, which was what Yang Yan saw.
Compared with the depressed state of everyone in the clan, Yang Yan at this time was full of confidence.
The first place in this year's 'All Clans Martial Arts', I'm going to decide!
