The Purple Abyss Continent, the Chiyan Empire, the Mu Family Realm. There are nearly a thousand people in the clan, one-third of them are cultivators, and the rest of the clan members are responsible for doing some business to maintain the family economy on the periphery of the realm. Or restaurants, or develop mines, or be responsible for running businesses between various ethnic groups.

In addition to the people in the clan, there are thousands of laborers and hundreds of maids serving in the Mu family. In order to ensure the power construction and expansion of the Mu family, as well as the care of daily life.

There are many families in the Chiyan Empire, and the family competition is also extremely fierce, but the Mu family has a long history in the Chiyan Empire, countless cities in the country, and a deep foundation, so it sits firmly in the second place among many families.

The first is the family that belongs to the imperial forces, the Huangfu family. It has been born since the founding of the country. Because the family is backed by the empire, it has a very strong economy and power.

But in addition to the blood of the royal family, the clansmen of the Huangfu family also have foreigners from all over the country, which is also the shrewdness of this family.

Because the Huangfu family relies on the empire, it is looking for talents with cultivation talents all over the country, and cultivation requires huge resources to support, so the Huangfu family has a steady stream of talents.

Every year, the empire recruits excellent people from major families to protect the country's safety, so each clan has to select some people who meet the requirements to send them to the empire.

Because of this, the Huangfu family is firmly in the first place in the family. The state also uses this method to indirectly manage and limit the power of the major families. There is competition between most families, and it is difficult for individual families to pose a threat to the country.

Seeing that it is time for the empire to collect talents from the family again, the major families have expressed their dissatisfaction, and everyone knows that at this time, the biggest beneficiary is the Huangfu family.

"Hmph! It's another expropriation order! If it goes on like this, won't all the generations of my Mu family have to fill their private pockets?!" In the Mu family meeting hall, Mu Hai slapped his angry palm on the armrest of the seat, and the majestic voice spread all over the ears of the public.

"Grandpa Mu, don't be angry, there's no way around it. A woman wearing a dress with a hundred flowers explained. She is Su Han, with shaved shoulders, waist and lips.

Suddenly, a bold voice came from outside the hall. "Haha, Old Man Mu, my daughter hasn't suffered any grievances with you these days, right?" As he spoke, he walked in from the entrance of the hall with a sturdy middle-aged man, his hair color was black and white, he was dressed in a blue-green robe, embroidered with gold and silver edges, his face was friendly but steady, and his mature temperament was spontaneously born.

"Who am I, Su Yan, when are you still smiling?" Mu Hai looked at the figure who was striding from the entrance of the hall and said.

"What, you're coming up again? I'll take a drink of water first. Su Yan sat next to Mu Hai unceremoniously, picked up the teacup and savored it, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all.

"Daddy~ Don't sell it! Look at what Grandpa Mu is in a hurry. Seeing this, Su Han hurriedly said.

"Hmph, old ghost Su, tell you the truth, do you have any bad ideas? Looking at your snort, could something happen to the emperor's family?" Mu Hai glanced at him and said.

"Old man Mu, there are some things you don't know yet, the news hasn't come yet, I just came back from the outer realm of the empire, and I heard that there is another war between the empires, and this time the object of the war is the Starfall Empire, and its strength should not be underestimated. Su Yan said mysteriously.

"Are you old and confused? Since the empire is going to war, it will not let go of the opportunity to expropriate. ”

"What are you anxious about, I haven't finished talking yet, it is precisely because of this war that the empire has increased the bargaining chips for levy, and now, the major clans have expressed their dissatisfaction, and the empire has decided to select and levy personnel through clan comparison for the sake of fairness. After Su Yan finished speaking, he looked calm.

"Okay! The Huangfu family has bullied us and swallowed so many talents over the years, this time I have to let him spit it all out for me! Old ghost, what do you have in mind?" Mu Hai suddenly stood up and laughed.

"I have discussed with those old ghosts, and those families who have negotiated are willing to take out some of the clansmen who have considerable cultivation talents and compare them with them, so that on the one hand, the empire can deal with the past, and on the other hand, it can maximize the loss of talents in the Huangfu family. Su Yan smiled.

"Haha, old fox, you still have an idea. However, not all families will do this, and there are many lackeys of the Huangfu family. Mu Hai walked up to Su Yan and patted him on the shoulder.

"The time of the war was three months later, and the levy of the clan was postponed a month later. Feng'er, why didn't I see you bring him over?" Su Yan said as he opened the subject.

"Not to mention my grandson, who only knows poetry and painting all day long, with his talent, hey,,, my old face has been lost. Mu Hai sighed.

Suddenly, a jade-colored spot of light appeared in the sky above the Ziyuan Continent, and the spot of light seemed to come from another world at an extremely slow speed, and the barrier of the plane was constantly being shaken, as if it could be broken through at any time.

"What is that? How dare you try to break through the barrier!"

"It doesn't seem to be trying to break through, he is not something that belongs to this world, hurry up and notify the empire and the major families!

Under the discussion of everyone, the news instantly spread throughout the entire Chiyan Empire, and the Mu family and the Su family also rushed to the outer cities of the empire after hearing about it, in addition, the Lin family, the feud of the Mu family, was also present, and there were many families around the Lin family, obviously, the Lin family interacted with them, and secondly, the Lin family and the empire had very close contacts.

"Yo, isn't this Patriarch Mu? I haven't seen you for many days, I don't know how the eldest grandson of the Mu family has been cultivating recently?"

"Hmph, Lin Ba, you don't have to worry about the wind, but you, pay attention to the way you speak, no one dares to guarantee that the overturning of the boat in the gutter will not happen. Mu Hai said hello to Su Yanxiang and the few families with whom he usually had close contacts, and didn't pay attention to Lin Ba and the others.

Lin Ba felt very uncomfortable, but there were many people present, and it was difficult to show anything, so he had to swallow his anger and not speak.

After everyone was polite, the atmosphere immediately cooled down. The people of the Imperial Family and the Imperial Family slowly walked out of the city gate, each of them riding a blazing horse, and everyone could only look up, as if they were a status symbol. There was an air of majesty in their mannerisms.

The two people led by him, one is the second prince of the Chiyan Empire, Huangfu Jingyuan, deeply appreciated by the emperor, wearing a dragon robe, his strength is unfathomable, he is familiar with the tactics since he was a child, and he also has the power to strategize, the general trend, and strategize. Its appearance is a little feminine, but it is not elegant.

The other person is Huangfu Songtian, as the head of a clan, Huangfu Songtian has the strongest strength in the clan, he is domineering, his methods are ruthless, and those who have fought with him will end up extremely cruel.

The atmosphere was very quiet, and no one dared to talk nonsense. "I didn't know that the prince was here, and Lin was disappointed. Lin Ba stepped forward from the crowd and bowed his head and said. Immediately, more than half of the families behind him followed Lin Ba's example one by one, except for the Mu family and the Su family.

Huangfu Jingyuan's eyes narrowed, but there was a feminine smile. "It turned out to be the Lin patriarch, many patriarchs don't have to be polite, I also heard that there are changes outside the country today, so it is rare to come out. ”

"Mu Hai, Su Yan, you still don't salute when you see the prince?!" Lin Ba said with a tendency to follow.

"No need, my father said that the Lin family and the Su family are the foundation families of the empire. However, I also hope that everyone present can figure out the situation, my father is currently seriously ill, and the throne will change hands, and I, as the second prince, should come forward when the country is in danger, are you right, Patriarch Mu?" Huangfu Jingyuan played with the ring on his fingertips and looked at Mu Haidao.

"Hmph, the situation of the empire, I believe everyone is looking at it, as for the future, my Mu family will naturally serve the empire, but I hope that the prince will also be different in terms of employing people and things, and do what he can. Mu Hai said, not doing language entanglement, looking at the sky above the mainland.
