Chapter 22: The Yi Family Meeting (II)
As one of the three major families of the Yuanxuan Empire, and the first family of the armed forces, the biennial clan meeting naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Whether a family can stand tall and survive for a long time depends on whether the descendants are good enough. Otherwise, no matter how strong the foundation is, without fresh blood injection, defeat will be a matter of time.
Many forces cooperating with the Yi family made a special trip to the Yi family to watch the clan meeting, and many side branches also came from various provincial capitals.
There were many carriages parked outside the gate of the Yi family, and the crowd poured into the Yi family in an endless stream, and came to the center of the manor, where there was an open-air martial arts arena.
"The clan meeting is really lively. Pushing the wheelchair, Yi Chen looked at the lively crowd in the martial arts arena and couldn't help but sigh heartily.
There was a crowd of people everywhere, except for the guests, the rest were all members of the Yi family, and there were thousands of young people attending the clan meeting.
"In previous years, the clan will be more lively, but in the past two years, our Yi family has been hit a lot, and the overall level of the younger generation has also dropped a lot. Yi Kui, who was sitting in a wheelchair, flashed helplessness in his eyes.
Indeed, as Yi Kui said, the Yi family has been going downhill in the past two years, especially after he was deposed, and many forces have switched to the other two major families.
"Don't worry, father, the Yi family will definitely not fall. Saying this sentence in his heart, Yi Chen's face flashed with determination.
"Your beast soul is only one level, and the number of soul power is not much, and there are several geniuses of the same age as you who are very strong, you must fight quickly, otherwise you will suffer a lot. Yi Kui didn't know that Yi Chen's beast soul could be upgraded, so he admonished.
"Hmm. Yi Chen didn't tell the truth that the beast soul had been upgraded, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
"The head of the Yi family is here. At this time, I don't know who shouted this sentence, everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the east, and saw an old man leading more than ten people to come.
The old man was wearing a cyan robe, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, with majesty between his eyebrows, he was the head of the Yi family, Yi Siqing, and behind him were the elders of the Yi family, as well as some major figures.
The visiting guests all stepped forward to greet each other, and the gesture was extremely flattering, and Yi Siqing also returned the salute with a smile on his face, and walked over to this side at the same time.
When he saw Yi Siqing, Yi Chen's face flashed with excitement, he hadn't seen his grandfather for half a year.
"Father. "Grandpa. At Yi Kui's signal, Yi Chen pushed him to meet him, and then spoke at the same time.
Seeing Yi Kui, Yi Siqing's eyes flashed with regret and pain, nodded, and then moved his gaze to Yi Chen, and a touch of love that was difficult to capture flashed.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Such a sentence came out of Yi Siqing's mouth.
And Yi Chen also controlled his feelings very well, his eyes moved, and he found that Yi Siqing's black hair had turned snow-white at some point. is particularly conspicuous, it seems that in the past six months, he has been worried a lot.
"Phew. At this time, Yi Chen felt a few cold gazes coming from behind Yi Siqing, and when he turned his head to look over there, he found that it was actually the five elders of the Yi family, one of whom was Yi Shu.
Ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, it was these five elders who put pressure on Yi Siqing at the beginning, and in order to take care of the overall situation, Yi Siqing had no choice but to exile Yi Chen from the Yi family.
Facing Yi Chen's cold eyes, the five elders looked very surprised, but now that there were many people here, they quickly withdrew their gaze for the sake of their reputation.
"You have taken time out of your busy schedule to participate in my Yi family meeting, Yi someone, thank you for your faces, everyone take a seat. As if sensing something, Yi Siqing waved his hand, and then led everyone to the east.
There was a row of tables and chairs there, and sitting in the front were Yi Siqing and Yi Kui, as well as the elders of the Yi family and some forces with deep contacts, and the others were sitting in the back.
And Yi Chen is not qualified to sit, so they can only stand on both sides of the competition platform and wait for the draw.
The clan will be divided into two teams to compete, one team is the competition of adult disciples, and the other team is the competition of minor disciples, and Yi Chen is on the side of minor disciples.
Yi Chen stood at the back of the martial arts arena, but there were still a lot of strange eyes sweeping towards him, after all, he was a member of the Yi family's lineage, and he was also a member of the lineage of the beast soul with only one level.
Many eyes were filled with disdain, but Yi Chen clasped his hands, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuation on his face.
Grinding their lips does not get the respect of others, only by showing absolute strength, they will naturally keep their mouths shut obediently.
"Look, that's the favorite for adult disciples to win the championship this year. I don't know if it was a shout, and then everyone turned their heads to look at the south position, and saw a figure in a white robe standing out.
And beside Yi Xiao, there are four young people whose breath is not weaker than him, and they are also the favorites to win the championship, and the strongest among the adult geniuses.
The other clansmen's disciples turned their heads to look at them, their eyes flashing with awe, and when Yi Chen saw them, two strange looks flashed in his eyes.
As if sensing a hostile gaze, Yi Xiao and the five turned their heads to look over, and when they saw Yi Chen, their eyes flashed with banter and disdain.
If the soul cultivator deliberately hides his aura, others will not be able to sense it at all, unless he is two realms higher than the other party, so according to the news, Yi Chen is just a Yang Soul Realm.
This kind of cultivation did not pose a threat to them at all, so they turned their heads directly after leaving a disdainful gaze.
Not angry at all, Yi Chen's face was very calm, but he sneered in his heart.
"This year's clan meeting will be a battle of dragons and tigers, and I don't know who will win the championship. The viewing platform was very high, and what was happening below naturally fell in the eyes of the elders, and the Great Elder said with a smile at the moment.
"The grandchildren of several elders are all equally divided in their cultivation, and I'm afraid it's hard to say who the champion belongs to!" said a member of the Yi family's side clan very complimentally.
"This is natural, the only pity is that the lineage is the lineage, it seems that this year's champion is going to be produced in our side branches. The corner of the elder's eyes swept towards Yi Siqing and said.
Hearing this, Yi Siqing and Yi Kui's faces were very ugly, didn't this say be an insatiation of the incompetence of the Yi family?
In the past two years, the Yi family has been going downhill, and there are strong enemies outside, so there must be no chaos within the family, and Yi Siqing can only endure it.
"A bunch of old bastards. Although the distance was far, Yi Chen had already advanced to the Star Soul Realm, and with a keen sense of hearing, he naturally took the words of the Great Elder into his ears, and his face became gloomy at the moment.
"Boom. At this time, the scorching sun had risen to the center, and at the same time, a loud gong echoed in Yi's house.
"It's time, let's announce the beginning. Yi Siqing waved his hand at one of the guards, and after saying this, he looked at Yi Chen with a hopeful gaze.
"The Yi family meeting, it's officially begun!" Receiving instructions, the guard walked over to the arena and shouted at the top of his throat.
"Here we go. Secretly nodded to Yi Siqing, and Yi Chen's face gradually became indifferent.
