Primordial Blood Throne Vol 3 Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Coalition Meeting (1)

The months and seasons flew by . In the blink of an eye, another year had passed . The weather was still beautiful .

In the Origin Qi Scholar era, Origin Energy was everything .

Anyone who controlled unnatural power could control the temperature, ensuring favorable weather for crops year after year .

Commoners could only endure the oppression by Origin Qi Scholars if there were no natural disasters occurring .

Because of this, many important figures would often hold a feast to share their surplus of natural resources during spring .

They would gather together during this time and distribute the resources, assign people to various missions, and analyze and deal with any past situations that had occurred .

In Clear River City, the Coalition Meeting, with the ten Bloodline Nobility Clans at the center of it all, was the replacement for such a feast .

The Wang Clan was responsible for hosting this year’s Coalition Meeting

The Wang Clan’s patriarch, Wang Zhanyu, was already three hundred years old . He was a Light Shaking Realm expert and maintained an excellent physique; without a doubt, he was the Wang Clan’s sturdy, irreplaceable pillar .

Clear River City wasn’t that big of a place . A Light Shaking expert was already rare enough .

With him present, Clear River City’s most powerful individual was on the Bloodline Nobility Clans’ side .

On that day, the many clans and nobility in Clear River City all began to gather in the Wang Clan’s main courtyard, which was near South Willow Lane .

Carriage after carriage and procession after procession gathered on South Willow Lane .

“Old Hong, it’s been a while!”

“Oh, it’s Old Rong! How is everything?”

“Ai, not the greatest . Things have been crazy lately!”

“Isn’t that right . ”

The Wang residence was filled with the clamor of people greeting each other .

And within the Wang Clan’s main hall, a small discussion only privy to the highest members of society had begun .

There were a total of ten people in this discussion, representing the ten Bloodline Nobility

Clans, who possessed most of the strength belonging to the aristocratic families .

The person sitting in the highest seat was the Wang Clan’s current Patriarch, Wang Peiyuan .

Wang Peiyuan had grown a long, black beard, giving him an extremely dignified appearance .

He sat in his high position and laughed, “We’re all old friends already, so there’s no need to make small talk . Let’s get started . ”

Everyone murmured in agreement .

Wang Peiyuan said, “Well, let’s talk about the first matter . Three months ago, our business partners over in the West River Forest mentioned that they wanted to raise their prices . From this year onwards, all of the Origin Skills, furs, and other precious materials that we purchase from them will triple in price . ”

“Triple in price? How did they even think of that!” someone snorted .

“They think that their earlier prices were too low . We can turn around the things they sell to us for a hundred times the price, so they think that tripling their selling price isn’t asking too much . ”

“What a joke! Those commoners should be happy that they can even earn money, but they still aren’t satisfied! In my opinion, we shouldn’t even be giving them a single cent!”

“You may say that, but those guys in West River Forest seem to have made up their minds . The village there has rallied around them; if we don’t agree to their price increase, they won’t sell to us . ”

“Who else can they sell to if they don’t sell to us? We control Clear River City’s businesses . ”

“Of course they would sell it to other cities . You know that there are people who are jealous of us buying things from West River . ”

“Dammit . I knew those thieving commoners had someone behind them supporting them . ”

“That’s right . Someone must be giving them ideas . West River Forest is our source of income, and we cannot let anyone else stick their hands in . I think that if

if we want to resolve this matter, we cannot agree to the price increases . We should send some competent forces their way and pick out those who are making trouble, and the problem should go away on its own . ”

Everyone nodded in agreement .

After a brief discussion, everyone agreed that they absolutely couldn’t agree to those thieving commoners’ impolite requests . If those commoners refused to sell to them, then they would have to send some troops and do things the hard way .

“The second matter is that a new group of pirates has appeared near Intersection Three . They are very rude and unreasonable; last month, boats belonging to two of our clans were taken by them . I sent some people to discuss things with them, but it seems like the discussions went nowhere . Unfortunately, we might be forced to resort to force to deal with them . We’ll do it by the same rules; every party will need to send out a few participants . ”

Since the Coalition Meeting had been established, a set of complete rules and guidelines had already been developed . Very quickly, a clean-up group was prepared under the suggestions of each clan’s clan leader .

The clans then proceeded to discuss a few more matters .

“Alright, we only have one more issue remaining . Last year, a new Knowledge Executor came to Clear River City . This Knowledge Executor isn’t a simple person; he was able to immediately capture the Young Master and Young Miss of two clans, one of whom is still bedridden and is only alive today because of medicinal supplements . He then killed Sir Liu Wuya and forcefully took over the Origin Bureau, greatly decreasing our control over the government . Finally, he even pulled the Long Clear Gang into the mix . I heard that the Long Clear Gang is still not completely under control yet?”

The last question was directed at Lai Wuyi .

Lai Wuyi’s face reddened . “Wang Wenxin is like an untamable

an untamable horse . He appears to respect us on the surface, but whenever I tell him to do something, all kinds of sloppiness emerges . If it’s not extremely inefficient, then it’s in complete confusion . The Long Clear Gang was saved by him single-handedly, and his influence within the gang is extremely high . I can’t casually switch him out, so the situation has dragged on until now . But you can all rest assured, sirs, that I will deal with the Long Clear Gang sooner or later . ”

Wang Peiyuan nodded . “The Long Clear Gang is the Lai Clan’s problem, and I was just asking out of curiosity . But Knowledge Executor Su is a problem for all of us Bloodline Nobility Clans . It’s obvious that Knowledge Executor Su is siding with our enemies . As such, I propose that he be named an enemy of the coalition . ”

“Agreed!”

“Agreed!”

“Agreed!”

A thunderous agreement broke out in the hall .

Ever since Su Chen had taken control of the Origin Bureau, he had become an enemy of the ten Bloodline Nobility Clans in Clear River City; this change was just making it official .

“Then, Patriarch Lai and Patriarch Long, why don’t you give us an idea of Su Chen’s background . Don’t tell me that you suffered such huge setbacks yet still don’t even know what kind of person he is . ”

Lai Wuyi and Long Qingjiang felt their faces redden .

The two of them glanced at each other before Long Qingjiang said, “If that’s the case, then I can go first . Ever since my son went into his coma, I sent people to the Hidden Dragon Institute to look into this person’s origins . He was a student of Shi Kaihuang’s and delusionally wants to break through the bloodline restrictions, allowing those without bloodlines to ascend . He truly is an enemy of all Bloodline Nobility Clans . ”

“Hmph, another arrogant, self-important dreamer,” many of the people in the room commented disdainfully .

“This person was born in was born in the Three Mountains Region in Northface City into one of the bloodline-less clans there . When he was twelve, he lost his vision in some bizarre accident, and his clan gave up on him . However, this guy was extremely stubborn and didn’t give up, continuing his cultivation and claiming first place amongst his peers . Many people wanted him to give way, but they just couldn’t beat him . ”

“They couldn’t even beat a blind person? What a trash clan,” everyone mocked .

Long Qingjiang continued, “Yes, they really are just a bunch of trash . After being blind for some years, Su Chen somehow regained his eyesight . However, he chose to hide it and continued to pretend to be blind, which gave him many benefits . In the end, he stunned everyone in the Three Mountains Region entrance exam, reaching the top ten that year . ”

“So he is quite patient and cunning . ”

Long Qingjiang said, “Also, he was often schemed against because he continued to claim first place in his clan even as a blind person, so he lost all faith in them and cut off his ties . Ever since entering the Hidden Dragon Institute, he basically had no more interactions with them . ”

“So there’s no point in using his family against him?”

Even though threatening someone’s family members was taboo even in this world, there were always people who preferred these simple, effective methods .

But against Su Chen, it seemed that this ploy wouldn’t work .

Long Qingjiang said, “It wouldn’t be very effective . ”

“What a pity,” everyone sighed .

“So this brat, apart from his lower cultivation base, doesn’t have any obvious weaknesses, whether that’s in relation to his own temperament or to his family situation,” someone said . “No wonder he’s so hard to deal with . ”

“There’s one more thing that Patriarch Long seems to have missed,” Lai Wuyi suddenly said .

“What is it?” Long Qingjiang didn’t understand .

Lai Wuyi added, “He is also a recipient of a 2nd-tier Hero’s Medal . ”
