Chapter 169 - Grand Victory at Yuan Hua

Chapter 169: Chapter 162: Grand Victory at Yuan HuaA week after the third supplicant of East Look Mountain passed away, Fakyou, with the support from the Silver White Family, suddenly made a move against the Council of Elders. With meticulous planning, he eradicated this group of elders who held the family’s great power. Soon after, Fakyou announced the return of the Bassa family, the survivors of the Gold Family, and allowed the Bassa family to share most of his power, ruling the Gold Family together with him.

In a single day, the high ranks of the Gold Family were entirely replaced, and a great number of the elders’ confidants were beheaded; blood flowed like rivers in Golden Square.

Meanwhile, Fakyou solemnly welcomed Xia Lu back from the Bassa family, and the sight of father and daughter reconciling moved many to tears.

Long before this, Fakyou had already made contact with the Bassa family in secret and step by step reached an agreement. After Xia Lu was rescued by the Bassa family, she came to understand the heartache behind her father’s actions.

With the fall of the Gold Family’s Council of Elders, the Feng Xi and Chi Lan families were stunned. What kind of unbelievable move was this? They had just entered the Yu Hua dimension, hadn’t even warmed their seats, and now there was a change of regime?

Of course, a change in power was one thing, but the grave matter of the family’s survival could not be taken lightly.

No sooner had the celebration welcoming back Xia Lu concluded, than the leaders of both great families rushed to find Fakyou.

"Ah, Clan Leader Feng Xi, Clan Leader Chi Lan, my apologies for not greeting you sooner," Fakyou said with his lips, though the fat man made no slightest movement to rise and welcome them.

Feng Xi and Chi Lan were already the lowest among the Eight Great Families, and even with the current heavy losses of the Gold Family, these two families could not cause much trouble, especially with Hua En of the Silver White Family standing behind him like his man.

With just the Silver White Family alone, he could suppress these two families.

"We wouldn’t dare presume," the Clan Leader of Feng Xi and the Clan Leader of Chi Lan said respectfully as they bowed to Fakyou, "We have taken the liberty to come today to discuss with Clan Leader Fakyou the matter of our submission."

"Oh?" Fakyou smiled slightly.

Hua En stayed silent, sipping his tea.

"It’s like this." The Clan Leader of Chi Lan spoke first, "This morning, Clan Leader Feng Xi and I discussed together that our families have fled to the Yu Hua plane for refuge, and we owe our breath today to the Gold Family’s mercy."

"Yes, yes!" the Clan Leader of Feng Xi continued, "Our two families have only one-tenth of our strength left after the previous battles, and we can hardly carry out our family affairs. Joining the Gold Family is the best fate for us."

"Haha!" Fakyou laughed heartily, "The Clan Leaders are so insightful! Very good, very good! The Gold Family welcomes your joining. From now on, we share both the blessings and the burdens!"

"We have seen the Clan Leader!" These two leaders were sly, quickly taking the opportunity to kneel and pay respect to their new master.

"Please, get up," Fakyou helped them up, after a series of promises and pacifications, he sent them away. He then returned to his seat and turned to ask Hua En, "What is your view on the actions of Chi Lan and Feng Xi, Family Head Hua?"

"Heh heh!" Hua En laughed, "These two know the times, though a bit too spineless."

"Yes, just too spineless," Fakyou said gravely, "I am a spineless man, so I don’t like others who are spineless."

Hua En glanced at the fat man, "So, what do you plan to do?"

Fakyou’s gaze narrowed slightly, "No rush. Since they come to us willingly, how can we simply turn them away? But such spineless creatures, once we’ve settled down, must be dealt with to prevent future troubles."

"You’re right, Brother Fakyou," Hua En nodded. He was clear that the fat man would definitely trouble these two Clan Leaders after the war ended. And Hua En himself felt a faint sense of danger towards the fat man’s ruthless character; he had to be prepared in case of being disposed of after serving his purpose.

Another seven days passed, and the Gold Family’s battle lines shrank again. The imperial army had fully occupied the major strongholds of the Yu Hua Family, ready to launch the final general assault.

East Look Mountain was naturally handed over by the Gold Family. Nono walked on the desolate red earth, accompanied by Lai Li and Xue Mei.

"Miss Xiaoxiao, is this where Tutu Krull fought so hard?" Nono asked sadly. The victory of Yu Hua did not compensate for the loss of Lu Hong.

"Yes, it is here he fought alone against the three supplicants, laying the foundation for our victory."

Nono picked up some sand, her eyes brimming with tears, "He’s always been helping me, since we first met, he has been saving me, from the hands of bandits, from the Hell Teaching Sect, from the Gold Family, he saved me countless times, but I.... haven’t even....,"

Nono took a deep breath, her voice firm, "Spread the word of Tutu Krull’s deeds, let everyone know how much he sacrificed for the victory of the empire!"

Seven days later, the Gold Family actively lifted the blockade on the plane teleportation array and formally proposed surrender to the empire.

"What?!" Konstantin was astounded, sitting in the throne room, while nearly a thousand officials standing below all wore a puzzled look. Logically, the emperor should be pleased with the victory of Yu Hua, so why did he look so distraught?

"Good.... good!" Inside, Konstantin was raging with ten thousand grass-mud horses storming through his heart. He had carefully planned, carefully planned! How could the Gold Family be so worthless? He had covertly supported them with three families to help, and they still lost?!

"Your Majesty, the Gold Family’s surrender must be out of desperation. I advise against accepting their surrender, for we must severely punish the family that dared to betray the empire, to serve as a warning to others and to uphold the dignity of the empire!"
