244 Collision in front of the Aristocratic Hall (1/2)

An imposing bronze colored chariot was galloping at full speed. The four pairs of beastly war-horses which pulled it were level four Xuan Beasts. A tender and beautifully blooming golden mums flower adorned the carriage, and shone with an abnormal brilliance. Eight horsemen valiantly strode around the chariot on their imposing horses.

The Murong family had arrived at last.

On the face of it, it would appear that the Murong family could not compare to the Li Family in terms of power and influence. It couldn't compare to the Jun and the Dugu Families either. In reality though, the Murong family was actually one of the most influential families inside Tian Xiang City. After all was said and done, it was the most ancient and the robust family. Moreover, it also has the most intimate relationship with the Imperial Family.

Murong Family's influence simply couldn't be ignored.

On top of that, the Murong Family was the only family which was related to the Imperial Family by the means of a marriage.

None of the other noble families enjoyed this honor.

It could be said that the Li Family was powerful enough to disrupt all levels of society. Moreover, Li You Ran was considered to be an outstanding youngster with a lot of impressive talent. However, even though he had set his heart to win over Princess Ling Meng three years ago, the Emperor had neither consented to this, nor given any opinion on it. The Jun Family was a family of martyrs, which had sacrificed many men to the service of the nation. The Grandfather Jun then had no choice but to lay down his self-respect in front of Tian Xiang Empire's Emperor, to seek a relationship by marriage. This proposal was also tactfully declined. No one could trust that debauchee, even though the others were considered reliable. Therefore, if the Jun Family's proposal to join the two Families by marriage was refused… then one could imagine how difficult it had to be.

The Murong Family's importance in the eyes of the Imperial Family was extremely difficult to replace.

Some time ago, Murong Qian Jun had passed wrong information. This had created a huge commotion, and a big mishap had occurred wherein Jun Zhan Tian had brought about a purge in the capital city. By the end of it, he had massacred almost one-third of the Imperial Cabinet Ministers in that purge. There is no need to say that if it had been anyone else, they would have been executed ten thousand times over this matter. However, Murong Qian Jun was simply removed from his post to never be hired again.

Nothing more.

This clearly showed how close the Murong Family and the Imperial Family were, and how big an influence the Murong Family had on the latter. Therefore, how could anyone ever look down upon their power and influence?

The carriage suddenly came to a stop. The eight horsemen jumped down from their steeds with a loud thud. Amongst these, the guard in the lead turned a handle and set the carriage free of its horses. Then, he swiftly moved on to the ornamented door and opened it. He then stood up straight like a ramrod, holding the door open with one hand.

A short while later, a tall and handsome youngster walked out from within with a straight posture. It was none other than Murong Qian Jun. Then a pair of tender feet stretched from the door, marking the arrival of a young lady, clad in splendid bright yellow clothes. Her face refleacted arrogance as she leisurely got down from the carriage. Soon after, an old man appeared. He coughed and trembled as he got down from the carriage, with two men supporting his frame from underneath.

The bystanders inhaled a breath of cold air.

The Murong Family was worthy of the Aristocratic Hall in every sense of the word.

The grand Murong Family had surprisingly sent their second in command, who was the old master Murong Fēng Yún's younger brother, Murong Feng Yu.

Perhaps, their reputation was even a match to the Jun Family, the Tang Family, and even the Prince Equivalent.

Murong Qian Jun and the young maiden dressed in yellow supported Murong Feng Yu as they started to walk inside.

”Murong Family? It's quite extraordinary, right? But they are very arrogant!” suddenly, a cold taunt was heard, which was accompanied by a peculiar sneer. Every person of the Murong Family stiffened, and many of their men placed their hands on the hilts of their swords. All of them looked angry. Who in Tian Xiang City had dared to mock the Murong Family? Especially at a time when some of their leading members were present? Weren't they afraid for their lives?

This had never happened before.

On turning to see who it was, their gazes fell upon two middle aged people wearing white clothes and cold expressions. One of them had an angry look spread across his face. His snow white gown had been bathed in the mud and dirt. A beautiful young lady stood beside him.

It was Xiao Han's three-man party!

Those without power simply aren't capable of doing the unprecedented. However, what if the inciter was more than a mortal?

The Silver Blizzard City was simply too high to reach in the eyes of a worldly family.

Xiao Han had been feeling that everything was going against him lately, which had left him feeling very gloomy of late.

He had become quite sullen since his arrival at Tian Xiang City. Previously, he had walked over to the Jun Family to insult his rival over his disability, but hadn't expected the younger generation of the family to make him look like fool and hurt him. Moreover, Mu Xue Tong had added more insult to his injury by beating him up further. However, what had made him really furious was when Han Yan Yao actually sent a gift to Jun Wu Yi in secrecy. He simply couldn't bear the flame of jealousy.

After that, his own nephew was seriously beaten-up by a mysterious master, shortly after the boy's arrival in the Tian Xiang City. Fortunately, the boy's recovery was not an issue after he had been diagnosed and treated using some of the best medicines available. However, this only meant that he had failed to take proper care of his nephew.

Then he heard the news that the Jun Family's cripple had unexpectedly recovered fully from his affliction.

This eventually pushed Xiao Han to his breaking point.
