Chapter 39
Queqiao Mountain is located in the west of Yunshan City. It is 10,000 meters high and reaches into the sky.
Looking up from a distance, there is a huge hollow halfway up Queqiao Mountain. The top part of the mountain looks like a magpie bridge.
According to legend, the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd meet here every year on the seventh day of July.
At this time, the entire Queqiao Mountain was filled with various construction vehicles.
Many people came here to watch the excitement and witness the construction of Magpie Bridge Palace.
There were even many reporters on site to report on the construction progress.
Jiang Yaozu smiled and pointed to the top of the mountain:
"The foundation of the Queqiao Palace has been laid. Helicopters will be used tomorrow to cover the entire Queqiao Mountain with a curtain. Before completion, no one except the construction team will know the true appearance of the Queqiao Palace."
"I'm determined," Xiao Zhan nodded with a smile and suddenly looked halfway up the mountain.
There, a group of people wearing orange work clothes and a group of people wearing blue work clothes seemed to have clashed. Hundreds of people from both sides suddenly clashed.
Jiang Yaozu's eyes turned cold, "The project is so tight, but they still want to cause trouble and fight. Don't worry, Lord, Yaowen and Yaowu are on top, they will solve it."
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yaozu finished speaking, he saw a group of big men in black clothes arriving halfway up the mountain.
Soon, the two sides were separated.
Xiao Zhan also planned to turn around and leave.
But the moment he turned his head, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures from the corner of his eye.
They were an old man and a young man. The old man was wearing a gray robe, with silver hair tied behind his head. He was thin and looked like an immortal.
The young man had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tall and straight figure. He was wearing gray casual clothes. Although his face was expressionless, there was a sense of arrogance between his eyebrows.
Realizing that Xiao Zhan was looking at him, the old man also smiled at Xiao Zhan, then turned and left with the young man.
Jiang Yaozu looked at the old man and the young man leaving, frowned and asked: "Palace Master, are there any problems with those two people?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head and asked:
"Has anything big happened in Yunshan City these two days?"
"Big deal?" Jiang Yaozu frowned and thought for a while, "Apart from the matter at Queqiao Mountain, it's probably the only one that has just moved in."
"Speaking of which, Palace Master, do you know where the Du family chose to stay?"
Before Xiao Zhan could ask, Jiang Yaozu blurted out, "It's the place where the Ye family used to be. At that time, the palace master, you had people move it and the Du family had rebuilt it."
"In addition, the Du family will host a banquet for various families and upper-class people in Yunshan City tomorrow, and our Jiang family has also received invitations."
"This is normal. The Du family are new here, so they will inevitably have to deal with us in the future."
Xiao Zhan nodded, thinking of the old man just now, and suddenly said:
"I will go with you tomorrow, and you will say that I am a junior of your Jiang family."
Jiang Yaozu nodded, asked someone to drive the car over, and drove Xiao Zhan to Jiang's house.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yaozu, three people, plus Xiao Zhan and Jiang Yiyi, a total of five people rushed towards the Ye family ruins. Of course, that place is now the territory of the Du family.
In just a few days, many pavilions and pavilions have been rebuilt here.
The young man Xiao Zhan saw yesterday was standing at the gate with his people. Although he was welcoming guests, his face showed no emotion at all, and he didn't even say a word.
When Xiao Zhan and the other five passed by him, he glanced at Xiao Zhan lightly, with a flash of arrogance in his eyes.
After walking along the corridor for a while, Xiao Zhan and others came to a palace-like building.
The main hall is decorated in an antique style, which is eye-catching.
At this time, there were hundreds of people in the hall, but there were still many empty seats.
As soon as Xiao Zhan and others sat down, a young woman wearing a cheongsam served tea and cakes.
About half an hour later, the entire hall was already packed.
The old man Xiao Zhan had seen yesterday appeared again with the young man. He first greeted everyone with fists and then sat at the top.
The young man stood beside him, looking intently.
"Haha, welcome everyone."
The old man smiled, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly:
"From now on, my Du family will settle down in Yunshan City, so I specially invite you all so that you can become familiar with each other. After all, we will inevitably have to deal with you in the future."
No one present spoke.
After all, the Du family has just arrived, and no one knows its origins. In this case, keeping silent is undoubtedly the best choice.
The old man seemed to know what everyone was thinking, so he smiled and said:
"My name is Du Kang, and the one beside me is my grandson Du Ziteng."
"My ancestors of the Du family made their fortune during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. For more than a thousand years, they have been hiding in Zhongshan."
Many people present looked surprised.
There are many mountains in Wanshan Province, among which Zhongshan is the most mysterious place. It is shrouded in mist all year round, and all intruders will most likely not be able to get out.
There have long been rumors that there may be a hidden family in Zhongshan, but I didn't expect it to be true.
Du Kang smiled and clasped his fists again, "My Du family has been studying medical skills for generations. If you need help in the future, just ask."
After learning the origin of the Du family, someone immediately stood up and clasped their fists:
"Master Du, since the Du family has been hiding from the world, why is it coming out again now?"
Du Kang smiled and waved his hand:
"Generations have changed."
"No matter how powerful a family is, if it cannot keep up with the times, it will be destined to disappear in the long river of time."
"In fact, twenty years ago, I was planning the Du family's entry into the world."
Jiang Yaozu looked at Xiao Zhan, who was expressionless, and suddenly stood up and asked Du Kang:
"Master Du, do you know the story of this place beneath your feet?"
Du Kang looked at Jiang Yaozu with a smile:
"Of course I know that this place used to be the territory of the Ye family. Later, because the Ye family offended people, this place was razed to the ground."
As soon as this statement came out, many people had doubtful looks on their faces.
Generally speaking, large families would not choose to sit on top of ruins because it is unlucky.
Du Kang smiled and waved his hand:
"Actually, this place is just a transition, and it will be treated as a separate garden from now on."
"The place I'm really optimistic about is the Magpie Bridge Mountain."
After saying this, Du Kang looked at Jiang Yaowu, "I saw your Jiang family in Wuque Mountain yesterday. I think you should be in contact with the owner of Queqiao Mountain. Am I right?"
Jiang Yaowu suddenly snorted coldly:
"Your Du family really has a big appetite. Even if you occupy this place, you actually want to take over Queqiao Mountain as your own. Aren't you afraid of bursting your stomach?!"
Du Kang was not angry either. He shook his head with a smile and said:
"There is a saying in the secular world that harmony brings wealth."
"Everything is negotiable. I believe that the other party will be satisfied with the conditions I have offered and will be willing to exchange Queqiao Mountain for me."
Jiang Yaozu glanced at Du Kang coldly:
"Master Du, Yunshan City is so big. If your Du family wants to settle down, my Jiang family will welcome you."
"But if you dare to take advantage of Queqiao Mountain, then I, the Jiang family, will fight you to the death!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present frowned.
Jiang Yiyi lowered her voice and asked Xiao Zhan:
"Who bought Queqiao Mountain? Why is my dad so excited?"
Xiao Zhan did not explain, but looked at the head of the Du family coldly.
"Master Jiang, you three brothers seem to have some objections to my Du family," Du Kang smiled, took a sip of tea, and said slowly:
"I invite you here today. In addition to getting to know each other, I actually have something to say to you."
"From today onwards, my Du family has the final say in Yunshan City."
As soon as he said this, a terrifying aura suddenly emerged from Du Kang.
Even though there were several heaven-level experts present, their expressions changed drastically the moment they felt this momentum.
Holy level!
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong.
First it was Yuan Gang, the leader of Xuanming Sect, then the monster blood shark on Blood Shark Island, and now Du Kang.
In a short period of time, three saints appeared.
You must know that the improvement of every small realm of martial arts requires accumulation over time.
Only about 1% of those who can develop dark energy can become earth-level masters. Among these people, only 1% can become earth-level masters. It will be even more difficult to become heaven-level masters in the future, let alone Saint level.
At least there are more than 30 billion people in the Yanlong Kingdom, and there are only a few saint-level experts on the surface.
Not only the saint level, Xiao Zhan has found that there are more and more heaven level powerhouses since returning to China.
Seeing that he had calmed the people present, Du Kang stroked his white beard, put the tea cup aside, and asked Jiang Yaozu again:
"Now, can you tell me who bought Queqiao Mountain?"
Jiang Yaozu said coldly, "Don't think that just because you are a saint-level expert, you can do whatever you want. As I said before, I advise the Du family not to take advantage of Queqiao Mountain."
Seeing that Jiang Yaozu was still uncompromising, Du Ziteng, standing next to Du Kang, said coldly:
"You Jiang family don't know how to praise!"
"My grandfather is a powerful saint, one of the strongest beings in the world. Being able to talk to you well is already a compliment to you!"
Jiang Yaozu said 'hehe', "Do you mean to destroy my Jiang family?"
"It's not impossible," the smile on Du Kang's face disappeared, "Saint level cannot be insulted, Jiang Yaozu, I will give you three seconds to think about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, three middle-aged men walked in from the door.
These three people exuded the power of heaven-level powerhouses, and their murderous aura was undisguised.
The three of them just stood in front of Jiang Yaozu.
Jiang Yaowen and Jiang Yaowu stood up immediately and stood with Jiang Yaozu.
Although they only had earth-level strength, there was no trace of fear on their faces.
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming tense, Jiang Yiyi was frightened and turned pale by the momentum of the three heaven-level experts, but she still stood beside her father and two uncles.
Du Kang laughed:
"You Jiang family are very tough, um, very good."
With that said, Du Kang looked at Xiao Zhan:
"Boy, why don't you stand up?"
