"Among the twelve major families, the Sima family, the Wei family, and the Lü family are staunch supporters."
"The Zhao family, the Tang family, the Futu family, the Zhou family, and the Zhang family are the opposition."
"The Wenren family, the Li family, the Yun family, and the Hu family are neutral."
"Among them, the Sima family, the Lü family, the Zhang family, and the Wen family all have Xuanxian ancestors."
"However, I have inquired about the situation and found that the twenty major families are extremely powerful as a whole. They have several hundred True Immortals, twenty or thirty Celestial Immortals, and over a thousand other ninth and tenth-rank immortals."
Sima Hui relayed all the information he had received to Guo Feng.
Li Chi continued, "These past few days, Ancestor Sima Han, together with Ancestors Wei and Lü, devised a strategy: to persuade them by leveraging their formidable strength and their loyalty to their lord back then. At the same time, the three families are willing to relinquish some benefits. If necessary, they can also use the ancient ruins of the Spirit Realm to lure them."
Li Chi then revealed their plan.
As Guo Feng listened and pondered, he soon arrived at the square where the gathering was taking place.
As he approached, he saw countless people, both in the sky and on the ground, radiating a dazzling light.
They either ride on clouds, ride swords, or sit directly on a throne.
It truly looked like a gathering of immortals.
thump thump thump...
As soon as they arrived, someone rang the ancient bell, silencing the entire venue.
"Everyone, the young master has arrived. Let us welcome him together!"
On the high platform, there were more than twenty people, all of whom were at least at the Celestial Immortal level. They were all the leaders of the twelve ancient families.
As soon as the bell rang, Sima Han stood up. As they spoke, they rode on auspicious clouds, and various auspicious illusions appeared around them as they flew towards Guo Feng.
On the horizon, someone was still playing magnificent music.
It even comes with its own background music!
Sima Han approached Guo Feng, stopped, and smiled. He bowed to Guo Feng, saying, "Sima Han greets Young Master! Young Master is truly a genius. Just five days ago you were only a fourth-grade True Immortal, and in the blink of an eye you have already become a sixth-grade True Immortal! Congratulations, Young Master!"
"No need for such formalities."
Guo Feng smiled and waved, then looked at the group of people who had come with Sima Han.
There were more than a dozen people on the stage, but they just looked over with mocking smiles on their faces, seemingly not giving them any face at all.
"So this is the descendant of Guo Hao, the ancient god of space?"
"Only a sixth-grade True Immortal? However, he seems really young. His talent is indeed outstanding, but it's not enough to convince everyone."
"It's hard to say whether they are descendants of Lord Guo Hao."
Among the people who came with Sima Han, several looked puzzled, as if they had doubts.
"Wei Wushuang greets Young Master!"
"Lu Taihao! Greetings, Young Master!"
Among those who came with Sima Han were two others with powerful auras: one a tenth-rank celestial immortal, and the other a first-rank mystic immortal. Their bodies shimmered with immortal light, yet they respectfully bowed to Guo Feng.
"You two may dispense with the formalities."
Guo Feng understood immediately; these two were the supporters of Sima Han.
"Wei Wushuang, Lü Taihao, don't rush to acknowledge the young master. We need to confirm it first."
"Yes, back then, the Guo family was wiped out, and even their ancestral land was destroyed. Only some weaker members of the collateral branches were left, who wandered into the mortal realm, in some Yan Yang Empire. These people have weak bloodlines and certainly cannot be considered descendants."
The others also spoke casually, but their faces held a half-smile.
Meanwhile, on the high platform, a man who had been sitting on his throne with a disdainful expression throughout looked up at Guo Feng and sneered, "So what if he's a descendant of the Guo family? It's been tens of thousands of years. What does it matter if he's just a descendant of the Guo family? Do you expect us to continue being their slaves?"
He said contemptuously, "Sima Han, you've been running around organizing this farce because you want to continue being a lackey. I, Zhang Yushu, have achieved the status of a Xuanxian (a type of immortal), and what I want is freedom. I would never be a lackey for a True Immortal like him!"
"Zhang Yushu, how dare you!"
Sima Han was furious, his eyes blazing with intense anger, as if struck by thunder.
"Then what are you doing here, Zhang Yushu?"
Guo Feng waved his hand to stop Sima Han, then looked at Zhang Yushu and asked.
"Heh heh, kid, you've already committed a capital offense by addressing me, a Xuanxian, by my own name, do you know that?"
Zhang Yushu took a sip of wine without restraint and said, "But that's a good question."
As he spoke, he flipped his hand over.
The wine jug disappeared.
He stood up abruptly. "I'm here, of course, to kill you, this so-called descendant of the Guo family. If the Guo family line dies out, then there will be no more masters or young masters, right?"
Buzz—
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed in front of Guo Feng, his entire body surging with immortal power, and a dazzling talisman flew out, directly transforming into a powerful barrier.
"This is a low-grade immortal talisman, the Iron Dome Great Barrier? Oh no, it will take us a lot of effort to break through this barrier!"
"Zhang Yushu is hiding his true intentions well; he's even using a celestial-grade talisman. It seems he really intends to kill someone!"
"Quickly, save the young master!"
When Zhang Yushu suddenly made his move, trapping him and Guo Feng with this so-called Immortal-grade Iron Dome Great Barrier.
Sima Han, Wei Wushuang, and Lü Taihao were all startled and immediately began to attack the Iron Dome Barrier.
In an instant, light shone brightly and sword energy crisscrossed.
Streams of sword energy and light, imbued with the power of Xuanxian and Tianxian, poured down upon the Iron Dome Barrier.
