Chapter 1398 1399 The New Method of Ranking the Eight Great Families

"Heishuiguan, west of Luo'an City, is the largest entrance to the Longyan Mountains in our Anyun territory. Of course, it is also the largest exit for alien beasts. At the same time as the capital was attacked, tens of thousands of alien beasts rushed Out of the depths of the Longyan Mountains, he broke through the Black Water Pass in one fell swoop. Fortunately, to the west of the Black Water Pass, there was also the important frontier town of Luo'an City, blocking the path of the alien beasts.

However, although those alien beasts are not as powerful as the alien beasts that raided the capital, they are not weak. The military and civilians of Luo'an City have been holding on until now, and they are exhausted. But now the alien beasts are attacking the city from all over the city, and even the capital is empty of defense, and it is impossible to divide the troops. Rescue, once the alien beasts break through the city of Luo'an, the consequences will be unimaginable. "Mu Ruian said.

Mu Hanyan sucked in a breath of cold air. She knew the location of Luo'an City very well. It was the gateway to the southwest of Anyun Kingdom. Once the alien beasts broke through the city, they could drive straight into Anyun Country.

An Yun is not as strong as the Shangyue people, not only the people's cultivation base is weaker than the Shangyue people, but the inland cities usually do not have tall and strong city walls, and it is impossible to stop the attack of alien beasts.

"The patriarchs of each family had already discussed before they left the capital, and the family ranking competition originally scheduled to be held next year was cancelled. The descendants of the eight families headed by the eight families went to Luo'an to assist the local military and civilians in defending the city until other places. Divide troops to help after the war is over, or each family leader will return after victory. And the ranking of the eight great families will also be determined by the performance of each family’s juniors in defending the city.” Mu Ruian continued.

"My father, I understand, I will go to Luo'an City." Mu Hanyan said. Whether it is for the safety of Anyun's hundreds of millions of people, or for the status of the Mu family, she is bound to do so.

Fortunately, she now has the cultivation level of a great swordsman. Although she has been running all the way, she does not feel very tired.

"Don't be in a hurry. The descendants of the major families were originally scheduled to leave for Luo'an City tomorrow. You came back at the right time. The palace specially prepared a confectionary banquet for you. After you wash up, go to the banquet." Mu Ruian waved his hand and said.

"The child has been rushing back to Anyun from the top to the top without stopping. You are so tired, why are you going to a banquet?" Although Mu Hanyan didn't feel tired, but looking at her desolate appearance, Yue Fanling felt distressed. Now, blame Mu Ruian.

"You don't understand, it's fake that I asked her to go to the banquet, and it's real to meet other peers." Mu Ruian said with a smile.

Mu Hanyan understood that her father's real intention was to make her win over the children of other aristocratic families. The battle of Luo'an City was not only related to the life and death of hundreds of millions of people in Anyun, but also related to the status of the eight major families afterward. Directly, it is still related to their own net worth and life, and more help is not a bad thing.

His father was well-meaning, but when he thought about his name as the number one dude in the capital, and the grievances and grievances between him and the children of various families, Mu Hanyan could only smile bitterly. Those guys have long hated themselves to the bone, and it would be nice not to draw cold knives behind their backs. It is wishful thinking to expect them to help.

The only person who could help her is probably Yan Yuchu, but after all, he is only the young master of the split family, and his position in the master family is limited, so he may not be able to help him much.

But no matter what, she still wants to go to this palace banquet. After all, she will fight side by side with the children of various families. Even if she can't let go of the past, she doesn't need to appear too arrogant and rude.

Seeing that there was still some time left, Mu Hanyan briefly washed and changed his clothes, and then briefly shared his experience in Shangyue with his parents. Hearing the crisis of the Shangyue royal family, Mu Ruian acted very calm. She has absolute confidence in her precious daughter, and when she sees her safe return, she knows that there must be no danger.

Although Yue Fanling could also think of this, she was still nervous until she heard Mu Hanyan talk about how they lifted the ban for Lu Nianxin, and how she showed her might to all the chaotic officials, including Lu Tianxiong. After the thieves were eradicated, she breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, it is a family relationship that is thicker than water. Although there is some resentment against her eldest brother's inhumanity back then, her concern for the Yue family behind her is no less than Lu Nianxin's concern for her.

"Mother, I have been named the eldest princess by my uncle, and the matter between you and my father has been announced to the world. Go back and have a look when you have time. Grandma and two uncles miss you very much." Mu Hanyan advised.

"Well, once the crisis is over, I'll go back and take a look." Yue Fanling nodded with a smile. After listening to Mu Hanyan's words, even she felt the rest of her life, and she put aside the last grudge in her heart.

At the beginning of the lantern, it was time for the banquet, and the carriage was ready.

"By the way, in order to make it easier for you to go to Luo'an City, your grandfather discussed with the elders and others before leaving, and decided to temporarily appoint you as the young patriarch." When sending Mu Hanyan to the carriage, Mu Ruian added. one sentence.

Mu Hanyan nodded, but she didn't feel any surprise. With her current strength, she was fully qualified to be this young patriarch. Afterwards, she took Huayuezi and a few bodyguards, and Mu Zexian and others went to the palace together.

In the battle outside the capital, the Mu family also suffered heavy losses. Many familiar faces were never seen again, but there were a few new faces. After listening to Mu Zexian's introduction, Mu Hanyan knew about the Mu family. Elite disciples sent by other major branches to help.

The position of the Mu clan's clan among the eight great families in the capital will also affect the status of the branches in various places. Therefore, despite the chaos in Anyun, and several branch families have to deal with alien beasts attacking the city, they still sent the most senior disciples. strong. These people are all over thirty years old, and their strength is not bad, they all exceed the third-order sword master.

"You are Mu Hanyan. I've heard of you. You used to be the number one dude in Black Rock City, and now you're the number one dude in the capital. By the way, there's another nickname, Mu Tieyi, right?" The children of the branch families casually cupped their hands and said sarcastically.

His name is Mu Chengqi, and he is just thirty years old this year. He is the youngest of the children of the branch family, and he is somewhat youthful.

"Cheng Qi, don't be rude to the young master." Another older son of the branch frowned and reprimanded.

This person's name is Mu Renda. He is thirty-seven years old today, but he is the eldest of the children of the branch. Not only is he the strongest, he is also the most stable in temperament.

"Brother Renda, don't mind, just do whatever you want." Mu Hanyan waved his hand indifferently. The number one dude in Black Rock City, Mu Tieyi, I haven't heard such a nickname for a long time, and it feels very cordial.

Mu Renda didn't say anything more, just glared at Mu Chengqi.
