Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Chapter 484: Chapter 217: Lunar God Battle Armor! The bridal procession from Emperor Wu’s City has arrived, and the old ancestor takes yet another wife and concubine!_3

Han Li murmured to himself in a soft voice, his face showing satisfaction.

He was, of course, clear about the purpose behind Emperor Wu’s City’s actions. Now, with Emperor Wu’s City on the brink of disaster and without the city lord to maintain order, there were many top-tier forces covying Emperor Wu’s City’s territory, including those from the Myriad Phenomena Realm within its borders who were watching or harboring ulterior motives.

It was a pity for that city lord of Emperor Wu’s City, who was actually a Peak Quasi-Emperor in his previous life. Just unlucky, he dabbled in crooked practices to break through to the Heaven Imperial Realm and ran afoul of Empress Yuanchu, who slapped him to death.

After reincarnating, it took great effort for the city lord of Emperor Wu’s City to cultivate to the later stages of the Tongxuan Realm. He planned for hundreds of years to unseal Dangyang Mountain and obtain Chen Xilai’s physical body, but alas, man proposes and heaven disposes; the city lord failed.

Even if he did not lift a finger, not delivering a slap to the city lord of Emperor Wu’s City, the city lord would still not be able to escape. The Sacred Land Masters were watching, and for the city lord to attempt snatching victory from the jaws of a tiger without the support of a strong foundation was tantamount to seeking death.

Emperor Wu’s City faced a crisis of annihilation, but the higher-ups of the city were tactful, offering him five beautiful wives and concubines as a gesture, which Han Li naturally accepted.

“Fate plays tricks on people,” he said.

Gazing upon the five stunning beauties, Han Li’s expression was filled with emotion.

In the past, to marry a wife of Fourth Grade aptitude, he had exerted much effort and had captured Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi, always fearful of discovery and ensuing trouble.

Now, without lifting a finger, merely hinting his desire was enough for other forces to bring him groups of stunning female cultivators with aptitude of the Fourth Grade or even Third Grade.

Power and status are truly intoxicating!

After his moment of reflection, Han Li vanished from the summit of Chengdao Peak and arrived at Yundao Peak, where he took his seat at the main hall, waiting for the delegation from Emperor Wu’s City to present themselves.

It wasn’t long before Han Yongjin, Han Yongfan, and others led the marriage procession into Yundao Hall to meet with the patriarch of Han Mansion.

The number of people was not large; most waited outside the hall. Besides the four Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm from Emperor Wu’s City and two Grandmasters from Qingxuan Mountain, the five stunning beauties also entered.

“We pay our respects to Patriarch Han,” they said.

Fang Yun, Second Master Yun Bufan, and other figures of the Myriad Phenomena Realm bowed deeply, their heads lowered, not daring to look directly at Han Li.

Zhao Wanling, Zhuo Yanran, and the other beauties also lowered their heads, not even revealing the tips of their toes, while occasionally stealing glances at the handsome Han Mansion male sitting at the head of the hall.

Indeed, he was a strikingly handsome man with an aura as exquisite as jade!

Han Li too was observing everyone in the hall, his gaze mainly on Zhao Wanling, Zhuo Yanran, and the other beauties. Although they wore light veils over their faces, they could not block Patriarch Han’s Divine Sense.

The elegance and poise of Zhao Wanling, Zhuo Yanran, and the rest could not be obscured by clothing. Their curvaceous figures, each with a unique demeanor, were like orchids in spring and chrysanthemums in autumn, each with their own charm.

“You’ve done well, and this patriarch is very pleased,” said Han Li.

Fang Yun, Yun Bufan, and others showed joy, for Patriarch Han had accepted their goodwill.

Han Li casually conversed with these Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, making them beam with pride and excitement.

Seeing that Patriarch Han had no further interest in continuing the conversation, Yun Bufan immediately spoke on behalf of Qingxuan Mountain, pledging loyalty with respect, “The men of Qingxuan Mountain have long admired the patriarch’s esteemed name. If the patriarch is willing, we wish….”

Listening to Yun Bufan’s endless flow of loyalty and flattering words, Han Li found it very satisfying and agreed, allowing them to join Han Mansion.

As they had established considerable merit, Han Li generously rewarded them with plenty of resources and benefits.

Upon receiving the response they hoped for, the faces of the lead figures of Qingxuan Mountain, including the First and Second Masters, showed an excitement they could not hide, and they immediately bowed deeply in gratitude.

Han Li waved his hand, indicating they should stand aside, and then turned to Fang Yun, Zhao Wanling, Zhuo Yanran, and the rest, speaking thoughtfully,

“I will release a message stating that Emperor Wu’s City is now under this patriarch’s protection, and you may keep only one-fourth of your territory.”

“Thank you, patriarch,” they responded immediately in gratitude.

Fang Yun and the others bowed in thanks, and smiles appeared on the faces of Zhao Wanling, Zhuo Yanran, and the other women. One of their reasons for marrying into Chengsheng Mountain was to help protect the families and friends of Emperor Wu’s City.

With Han Li’s promise, Fang Yun, a high-ranking official of Emperor Wu’s City, was ecstatic; this trip was well worth it.

With a word from Patriarch Han of Han Mansion, Emperor Wu’s City no longer faced the threat of destruction. Although they could only retain one-fourth of the territory, it was still a significant portion.

Even just one-fourth of Emperor Wu’s City’s territory was larger than that of the current Daqian Empire, allowing its high-ranking officials to retain considerable power and prestige.

Other major forces in Xuan Domain would not deliberately trouble Emperor Wu’s City. By yielding most of its territory, Emperor Wu’s City provided enough to satisfy their appetites. If they still were greedy, it would be an insult to Patriarch Han, and Han Li would intervene to settle the matter.

Now, no one wanted to offend Han Li, the Elder of Bai Yujing, a reincarnated mighty figure with limitless prospects, as it would bring calamity upon their own forces.

After spending some time in Yundao Hall, Han Li returned to Chengdao Peak.

The date to welcome the five stunning beauties of Emperor Wu’s City as brides was set for seven days later, an auspicious day.

Once the date was set, the entire Han Mansion sprung into action, preparing for the patriarch’s upcoming marriage and concubinage.

Back at Chengdao Peak, Han Li also called together Lu Tianxiang, Long Yue, Ling Lingshuang, Qiu Yueyao, Li Mingmeng, and other beloved wives and concubines to share the news with them.

Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, Xue Yueqing, Liu Yuexin, Chu Yutong, and the rest of the wives and concubines expressed no objections, as they had already been informed and were prepared for it.
