151: Chapter 151 Uprising

A few days later, the Family Internal Affairs Branch was officially established under Su Xuanming's arrangement.

At first, Xuan Jing did not want to take on the responsibility; she felt she was still a child and should not bear such pressure at the prime of her youth.

As the most playful person of the Su generation, her abilities and talent were undeniable; only after much earnest persuasion from Su Xuanming and Su Yang did she finally agree.

The others unconditionally obeyed the Family's arrangements.

Under Su Xuanming's orderly command, the Su Family's business flourished.

On this day, Su Xuanming walked into the inner courtyard with a hurried expression.

"Father, an unknown force has recently arrived at Qingyuan Market. I need you to go take a look."

Su Yang was surprised: "Is the other party very strong?"

Su Xuanming nodded, then shook his head: "They are powerful, with over ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators—enough to wipe out the entire Qingyuan Market—but they are only passing through, and their attitude is extremely friendly."

Over ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators, yet their attitude was extremely friendly.

Hearing this, Su Yang almost laughed out loud.

How many good people are there in the Cultivation World? The greater the disparity in strength, the more indifferent the attitude of those in power.

A force that could easily slaughter Qingyuan Market showing a friendly attitude was clearly plotting something.

But the question was, what could a small place like Qingyuan Market have that was worth their plotting?

Su Yang immediately set off for Qingyuan Market, intending to investigate the truth of the situation.

The five local Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Qingyuan also arrived upon hearing the news; they had always regarded Qingyuan Market as their own precious territory, and with over ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators suddenly arriving, they naturally could not sit idly by.

As soon as he stepped onto the bustling street, the scene before him sent a shock to his heart.

The Drunken Immortal Tower was tightly surrounded by a surging crowd; the building was already packed to capacity, and the dense throng of people squeezed out of the main doors like a tide, overflowing into the entire street and alleyway.

In the center of this sea of people, a loud and highly inflammatory voice from inside the Drunken Immortal Tower pierced through the clamor like a clap of thunder.

"Within the borders of Great Wei, the land is filled with wails of grief and the people have no way to live! In the Great Qi State, demonic Cultivators run rampant, and lives are reduced to misery!"

"The two countries are at war, the flames of battle reach the sky; no matter who wins or loses, it is always the common people of the world who suffer!"

"Great Wei is not the chosen of heaven, nor is Great Qi the legitimate ruler. The Azure Heaven is dead; the Yellow Heaven shall rise! How can we hot-blooded men sit by and watch?"

"We should rise up in rebellion, plead for the people, and in this murky, chaotic world, carve out a bright new order to establish eternal peace!!"

Boom!

As the voice fell, an overwhelming uproar like an earthquake erupted; some cheered excitedly, while others cursed the speaker's stupidity with dark expressions.

This was an uprising in a chaotic world!

But they were rising up to overthrow a cultivation Dynasty!

Golden Core Cultivators, flying boat magical cannons, imperial national fortune, ten-thousand-man Formations, and many other unknown methods.

What did they have to overthrow a cultivation Dynasty? It was nothing more than an ant trying to shake a giant tree.

"I know your concerns, but which change of Dynasty did not start from this very moment?"

"With the war between Great Qi and Great Wei at its peak and the national strength of both countries grinding each other down, now is the time for our army to rise!"

"The brave men of our Zhou Army are already spread throughout both countries, summoning heroes from all over the world. When they are both wounded and their national strength is exhausted, that will be the moment we replace them and stabilize the world!"

The man's voice was full of charisma, and many present were moved by it.

Most of those who came to Qingyuan Market for refuge were people whose hometowns had been destroyed or who were homeless; they were victims of the chaotic times, and their longing for a peaceful era was particularly strong.

They missed the tranquility of the past, the scent of their homelands, their deceased friends and relatives, and hoped their children could grow up in safety.

All these thoughts reached a peak at this moment.

Shouts and cries of support gradually rose, and the entire Qingyuan Market began to boil with excitement.

Jiang Wuyu watched all this calmly, a faint hint of mockery in his eyes; in his view, these incited crowds were nothing more than brainwashed cannon fodder.

Could a Dynasty that had existed for thousands of years be overthrown just because you wanted to?

Cheng Lan shook her head disdainfully, her previously anxious heart finally settling.

She had thought a new force was coming to compete with them for the "meat" of Qingyuan, but after all that fuss, it turned out they were just here to harvest fools.

Xu Heyan chuckled as he patted his large belly, not taking this uprising seriously at all; he greeted the others and then turned to leave.

Only Su Yang's gaze was solemn as he stood there murmuring to himself, "A speck of faint light, a phenomenon of seizing the heavens..."

"Could the faint light in the stars be this Zhou Army? Or is there another rebel army that will seize the heavens of Great Wei?"

He was shocked in his heart; if the astrological deduction was correct, then both great dynasties would be overturned. How chaotic would this land become then? And how would the Su Family rise under the rule of a new Dynasty?

A chaotic era is both a disaster and an opportunity.

As Su Yang was reflecting, he noticed someone approaching; out of the corner of his eye, his breath hitched for a moment.

Foundation Establishment Perfection!

The newcomer wore a luxurious flowing brocade gown, the hem moving without wind, faintly shimmering with restrained radiance.

A graceful smile graced her face, and as her phoenix eyes lifted slightly, there was both the composure of looking down upon all living beings and a subtly hidden, imposing sharpness.

Moving with lotus steps, her posture was naturally elegant, and her entire being was surrounded by an innate noble aura.

"You look to be of extraordinary bearing, Young Master. I wonder which Family's Cultivator you are?"

The woman's voice held not a hint of gentleness; instead, it sounded like the clashing of metal weapons.

Su Yang did not dare to be negligent and cupped his hands: "I am Su Yang, the Clan Chief of the Qingyuan Su Clan. May I know how to address you, Senior?"

"Senior?"

She looked up and laughed a few times, her eyes filled with an arrogance that looked down on the world, the curve of her lips bold and unbridled.

"I am indeed a Senior. I am Zhou Xuanji. The Su Clan Chamber of Commerce is your Su Family's property, isn't it? I happen to have a matter to discuss with your Su Family."

Su Yang's expression was solemn; the person before him was likely part of the Zhou Army's leadership.

Cooperating with the Su Family? Could she be here for the Spirit-Attached Artifactss and spirit-attached puppets?

"I wonder what Senior wishes to discuss?"

Su Yang took the initiative to ask.

Under normal circumstances, such matters should be handled by Su Xuanming, but the other party was a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator, so he, as the Clan Chief, had to discuss it personally.

Zhou Xuanji smiled and said, "Our Zhou Army needs to purchase a large number of Spirit-Attached Artifactss and spirit-attached puppets, and we want a long-term cooperation with your Su Family."

Just as I thought!

The Zhou Army wants the Su Family to be their weapon supplier!

Su Yang's thoughts were in turmoil, falling into a dilemma.

Cooperating with a rebel army is no different from treason and rebellion.

Once Great Wei finds out, it would be a disaster leading to the extermination of the clan.

But if he flatly refused, how could the Zhou Army let the matter rest?

If the Su Family did not provide them with Spirit-Attached Artifactss, these Sharp Weapons might fall into the hands of Great Wei, and the Zhou Army would certainly not tolerate such a threat.

So, providing weapons to the rebel army might lead to the extermination of the clan in the future, but not providing them might lead to it right now.

A rebel army is not composed of kind-hearted people.

Their friendly behavior in the market was merely a political tactic to recruit Cultivators and Martial Artists.
