As more and more people sat down in the nearby positions, Lin Xiao then understood that these positions from the main platform, from near to far, were occupied by the main figures of the Shangguan family’s great elder line, second elder line, and third elder line.
Even Shangguan Tong and he could only sit in the third segment position, while the others could only sit on their right side.
Not too long after, the members of the team that previously escorted Shangguan Tong also entered and sat in the positions behind Lin Xiao and Shangguan Tong one after another, the group all greeted Shangguan Tong.
Among them, only Liu Ze greeted Lin Xiao.
And besides the members he had seen before, there were quite a few others, including some young geniuses.
These youths were also neither warm nor cold towards Lin Xiao, full of suspicion, but due to the third elder, none of them voiced any dissatisfied words.
After more than half a shichen passed, the main members of the Shangguan family had almost all arrived, a large crowd of who knows how many thousands of people.
On Lin Xiao’s left side direction, that is, the position closer to the main platform, were the members of the Shangguan family’s second elder line.
This Shangguan family second elder line, the vast majority, were actually yuan cultivators.
From Shangguan Tong’s introduction, he then learned that the Shangguan family second elder line had low spiritual power and mainly cultivated yuan force.
Further to the left, the position closest to the main platform, was the Shangguan family great elder line.
The great elder line had the overall strongest combat power, but most were reckless types, this was a characteristic of the Shangguan family great elder line.
Besides this, the Shangguan family had no other factions, nor did it set up special elders like fourth elder and beyond.
Others could freely join any faction, this could also be considered a unique aspect of the Shangguan family.
The entire scene was quite lively, for this competition between the two great spirit controller families, some were expectant, some were full of confidence, some were worried, and some occasionally discussed Lin Xiao.
When the morning mist completely dispersed and the warm sun in the east slowly rose, only to see in front of the main platform, a large group of people, from another road, circled to the front of the main platform, slowly walking towards the crowd along the red carpet.
Walking at the very front on both sides were the two rows of red-robed young ceremonial women leading the way.
These women were overlooked by people, everyone’s gazes all turned towards the group of people in the very front row.
In the centre were two old men with childlike faces despite white hair, one full of smiles, with elegant manners, one hale and hearty in old age, majestic and awe-inspiring.
The old man full of smiles, in appearance somewhat similar to Shangguan Rui, but in temperament greatly different.
That old man had quite a dashing and open-minded air, while Shangguan Rui was calm and profound.
However, from appearance one could still tell that the two were father and son.
Lin Xiao did not need to guess to know that person must be the Shangguan family head, Shangguan Tong’s grandfather.
The other hale and hearty old man with childlike face yet majestic and awe-inspiring must be the Ouyang family head.
Although the two chatted and laughed breezily, it was all superficial courtesy.
And on the right side of the Shangguan family head, there were three people dressed in the Shangguan family’s unified long robe attire, the first old man burly and rough, his appearance somewhat similar to Shangguan Yu.
The second was a black-haired old man, whether in looks, figure, or temperament, all extremely ordinary, appearing utterly unremarkable.
The third was a majestic and poised middle-aged man with deep eyes.
This middle-aged man was precisely Shangguan Tong’s father, Shangguan Rui.
No need to think to know that the other two were precisely the Shangguan family’s great elder and second elder.
And on the right side of Shangguan Rui, there were also four old men, these four old men dressed differently, each person’s robe had family surnames embroidered on it.
Fang, Qin, Cen, Wen, representing four families.
Behind the four old men, each had a group of youths, middle-aged people, and old men.
Lin Xiao’s gaze focused on the old man at the head wearing the robe embroidered with the “Wen” character, he could not help but think secretly in his heart, “That would not be the Wen family head, right?”
“That one is my grandfather, beside him are the great elder and second elder.” Just at this moment, Shangguan Tong looked ahead and began introducing, “To the right of my father are the Fang family head, Qin family head, Cen family head, and also the Wen family head.”
“The Fang, Qin, Cen three families are martial emperor families vassal to our Shangguan family, the three are one second heavy martial emperor, one first heavy martial emperor.”
“And the Wen family is somewhat far away, however, because the Jiang family is also vassal to the Ouyang family, and due to Wen Ruo’s sake, our Shangguan family also brought the Wen family to be vassal.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao then confirmed that was the Wen family head and Wen family members.
He also then understood why, when he killed Jiang Yue in front of Wen Ruo, Jiang Yue used the spirit controller family Ouyang family to threaten him, yet Wen Ruo did not mention the Shangguan family.
Because the distance was too far, the Shangguan family had not made the Wen family vassal, only now had it just become vassal.
At the same time, he could not help but sigh in admiration at the extraordinary nature of the spirit controller family.
The strongest being only a seventh-grade initial spirit controller, yet having several martial emperor families as vassals.
It could be imagined that probably even more martial emperor families were willing to be vassal to spirit controller families, right?
After all, spirit controller families had plenty of pills.
“The Ouyang family side also has four vassal families, two second heavy martial emperors, and two first heavy martial emperors.” Wen Ruo looked at the other side, and said softly to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao nodded, on the other side direction of the Ouyang family head, indeed there were still four old men walking with robes different, all embroidered with family surname characters.
At the very edge position, the robe embroidered with, was prominently the “Jiang” character.
At this time Lin Xiao could confirm that that old man, and the members behind, must be precisely the Jiang family head and clansmen.
Jiang Yue of the Jiang family and a group of people died at his hands, if let the group of people know, who knows what they would think?
Lin Xiao also did not think further on this, this matter he did very covertly, almost no flaws, it should not leak any clues.
Moreover, at that time the Jiang family people were still chasing and killing Wen Ruo, now Wen Ruo had also disappeared, probably both sides were still in mutual suspicion.
Amid the group walking over, besides the Shangguan family head and Ouyang family head chatting and laughing, and a few people calm, the vast majority all carried thick hostility.
Especially the large number of Ouyang family members, when sweeping their gazes towards the seated Shangguan family crowd, all had a feeling as if they wished to eliminate them once and for all.
The Shangguan family crowd also revealed the same expressions.
It could be seen that the entanglements between the two great families were probably not shallow.
However, both sides maintained restraint, without provoking each other.
When they reached the place with seats arranged, the Ouyang family, and the large number of other family members, were all arranged to corresponding positions.
Even the Shangguan family’s three elders separately took seats at the positions by the red carpet edge.
Only the various family heads ascended the high platform, successively sitting on the precious tables and chairs.
