Chapter 218: Chapter 218: The Ye Family Arrives, Serpent Clears the Way, Supreme Being Guards the Rear, Grand Procession! (Please Follow)

At the entrance to the Modu Base.

The towering city gates were wide open, flanked by two rows of armored guards, tall and formidable.

"Roar!!" "Roar!!" "Roar!!"

Outside, nine dark dragons, their bodies shimmering with a sinister glow, let out ferocious roars that echoed throughout Modu.

Nine Great Venerable Level Serpents, exuding a heavy pressure, were pulling a floating palace with a flag marked prominently with the "Ye" character on the roof.

Following the grand floating palaces were more than twenty luxury flying chariots.

Behind the magnificent chariots, a Supreme Realm Nine-Headed Snake Demon Beast took up the rear.

Atop the palace, music and dance rose harmoniously, with a mix of string and wind melodies blending together.

Next to the main seat, an old man with a hunched back and white hair said, "Young Master, we’ve arrived at the Modu Base."

On the main seat, a red-haired, handsome young man with white eyes and red pupils opened his eyes, a trace of anticipation on his face:

"Mu Qingxue, I am here. Are you ready to make the contract with me?"

He waved his hand and commanded, "Enter the city!"

His calm voice resonated in the ears of all the Demon Beasts, and the nine mighty Serpents roared in unison as they entered the gates of Modu Base.

The two rows of formidable city guards watched them enter, closing the city gates behind them and actively clearing the streets to maintain order for this entourage.

There was a wide avenue from the main city gate to the City Lord Mansion and right up to the entrance of the City Lord Hall.

The arrival of the Ye Family caused quite a stir in Modu Base, drawing the attention of all the major families.

They were speculating about the purpose of the Ye Family’s grand appearance in Modu.

In no time, the intelligence agents from various major forces in Modu sprang into action.

In the City Lord Mansion, within the City Lord Hall.

Lord Mu, seated in the high seat, withdrew his gaze and murmured, "What an impressive display. With Great Venerable Level Demon Beasts leading the way and a Supreme Realm Demon Beast at the rear, that grand palace is also a Supreme-grade treasure with integrated offense and defense!"

At these words, Xiao Ye and the others were surprised.

It seems the Young Master of the Ye Family attaches great importance to today’s proposal!

Realizing what was to come, Mu Qingxue spoke with a hint of nervousness, "Xiao Ye, don’t feel pressured. You must defeat Young Master Ye decisively when the time comes."

Xiao Ye glanced at Mu Qingxue and chuckled. He wasn’t the one feeling the pressure; she was.

Lord Mu’s expression grew serious; there was indeed more he had not said.

The seemingly frail old man beside the red-haired young man was actually a Quasi-Saint, the red-haired young man’s Protector!

Protectors usually remained concealed, safeguarding silently from the shadows.

But that old man had appeared openly!

The intervention of a Quasi-Saint signified the will of the Ye Family head from the Imperial City, representing the dignity of the Ye Family. It would be difficult for the City Lord Mansion to call off the engagement today!

Lord Mu rubbed his eyebrows in irritation, thinking to himself: Hopefully, after Xiao Ye defeats Young Master Ye, he will give up the engagement with Xue Er on his own. Otherwise, if the Quasi-Saint makes a move, it will be impossible for the City Lord Mansion to back out of the engagement—that was set over a decade ago.

Within half an hour.

Outside the City Lord Mansion, the sound of hooves could be heard.

"Report! The Ye Family has arrived." A guard ran in to report.

Lord Mu looked up and instructed, "Welcome the Ye Family in."

Outside, the Ye Family’s Young Master and the elderly man left the palace and came to the ground, followed by pairs of impressive young Contractors emerging from the luxury chariots.

They gathered around, all very young, around the age of 20, and each one at the Grandmaster Realm.

The red-haired, red-eyed young man, Ye Fan, said, "Today, you must temper your Young Masters’ temperament and not disrupt my important affair."

They each chuckled and said, "Brother Ye, don’t worry. We came to support and add prestige to your endeavor, not to cause trouble."

"Exactly, exactly. How could the Imperial City Young Masters group miss out on Brother Ye’s proposal in Modu?"

"Hehe, we’ve heard that Sister-in-law Mu Qingxue is the number one beauty in Modu. We too would like to catch a glimpse, of course, just a glimpse."

"Young Master Ye, rest easy with us around. We’ll make sure your trip goes smoothly and you’ll return with the beauty in your arms."

The elderly man spoke up: "Young Master, it’s time to address the matter at hand."

Red-haired, red-eyed Ye Fan nodded and waved his hand: "Since that’s the case, everyone follow me. When we enter, keep the chatter to a minimum, just observe."

The crowd entered the City Lord Hall with great fanfare.

"Ha ha ha!" Lord Mu’s hearty laughter echoed, "I’ve long heard that Young Master Ye is handsomely outstanding and has limitless potential, ranking as the top young talent in Imperial City. Seeing you in person today, it is indeed true!"

Lord Mu nodded at the elderly man, "Gentlemen, please take your seats."

The hall was already arranged with tables, chairs, refreshments, and service staff.

The elderly man nodded back with a smile, while Young Master Ye Fan’s gaze was locked onto a lithe figure in a daze.

"She truly is a beauty that can bring nations to their knees—exquisitely beautiful, with a graceful figure and an elegance that is out of this world. That must be my fiancée: Mu Qingxue!" He muttered under his breath.

The elderly man gave Ye Fan a kick, "Young Master, don’t be sniffing around when you’ve just arrived, not in front of everyone."

"You can gaze at your lady all you want in the privacy of your bed in the future!"

Red-haired Ye Fan came back to his senses, touched his nose in slight embarrassment, and said: "Ye Fan of the Ye Family, has met Uncle Mu!"

Standing beside Lord Mu, Mu Qingxue felt uncomfortable under his gaze and involuntarily moved closer to Xiao Ye, she transmitted her disdainful voice: "Xiao Ye, that guy looks so sleazy, I don’t want to marry someone like him."

Xiao Ye pinched her soft hand reassuringly and transmitted back: "With me here, you won’t have to marry him."

Mu Qingxue’s anxious heart felt inexplicably better.

After everyone was seated, the group of young masters introduced themselves one after another.

"Young Master Tang San of the Tang Family from Imperial City, has met Lord Mu." "Young Master Guang Jie Ming of the Guang Family from Imperial City, has met Lord Mu." "Young Master Shi Hao of the Shi Family from Imperial City, has met Lord Mu." "Young Master Zhou Xiong of the Zhou Family from Imperial City, has met Lord Mu." "Young Master of the Yun Family from Imperial City..." "..."

All these families were mid-tier families from Imperial City, led by one of the four great families, the Ye Family; their strength was not to be underestimated. These families could compete with the Hong Family of Modu, possessing Supreme beings, and their businesses were spread all over Dragon Country with formidable combat power values.

Although Modu and Imperial City are both top-tier base cities, Imperial City boasts the longest history and the highest combat power, unrivaled.

The headquarters of the Supreme Alliance is also located in Imperial City.

This made Lord Mu’s heart feel somewhat heavy.

After everyone introduced themselves, Young Master Ye Fan spoke up very politely: "Uncle Mu, as you know, Qingxue and I have had a close relationship since we were young, and we also have a marriage agreement. I’ve never entered into a contract with another woman, nor has Qingxue."

"Today, I am here on behalf of the Ye Family from Imperial City to propose to the Mu Family!"

Red-haired Ye Fan waved his hand and a pile of various gifts ten meters tall appeared on the ground, "These are the betrothal gifts."

"One Supreme-grade Crystal Core, one Supreme-grade Treasure that serves both as offense and defense, one Supreme-grade defensive artifact, as well as various Great Venerable Level Medicine and precious natural materials."

He then pointed towards the nine-headed Serpent at the Great Venerable peak level and the Three Stars Supreme Realm Nine-Headed Snake outside the City Lord Mansion, along with a top-tier Supreme Realm offensive and defensive floating loft, saying:

"Those outside the hall, they are all part of the betrothal gifts!"

"Hisss!" The various young masters were shocked; those were some incredibly generous gifts!

Lord Mu’s eyes widened, the betrothal gifts were so lavish, he was almost envious!

The value of these items could dwarf the total assets and foundation of any major family in Modu Base!

The Ye Family had indeed spent a great deal of thought!

"Whew!" Lord Mu took a deep breath, forcibly calming himself down, and spoke up: "Young Master Ye, I apologize, but it seems that your marriage to Qingxue cannot take place. She already has someone in her heart!"

"What?!" Red-haired Ye Fan stood up abruptly, his tone severe.

The faces of the young masters behind him all changed dramatically.

Conflict was about to erupt!
