Chapter 773: Branches

The Fu Clans sprawling set of manors and courtyards was basically knocked to the ground, flattened in the course of the war between the two first rate clans. In the time since the completion of that battle, a new building had been erected in place of the old. Surprisingly, the new compound was very familiar to Sage. An extremely wide tree had sprung up at the center of the former Fu Clan territory and that territory was now surrounded by hundred foot tall trees with a fifty foot tall lattice of vines and branches extending between them.

Sage immediately recognized the tree growing techniques that had been used extensively in the Lang Clan and was surprised to see them being used here. He flew over the tall fence of trees and descended as he came to the base of the gigantic tree at the center of the territory. Just as hed expected, much of the trees interior was hollowed out and reshaped to act as a living building.

This style of building was something hed read about in fantasy books back on Earth, and then actually saw in person at the Green Plateau Province in the Shihu Kingdom. Hed attended an auction in a giant tree building, and at that point knew such a thing was possible in this world. Yet, it was only with the help of dozens of his descendants that he finally was able to realize that dream. They had first helped him create the Utili-Tree, but then moved on to full scale construction without him.

Entering the giant tree he was greeted by a low level member of the Chong Clan that served him as an attendant, guiding him to the location of the meeting. Sage took a look around the room and saw that there were far more people in attendance today than for the usual Chong Clan Council meetings. He noticed the Lang Clan members and walked over to join them.

This is quite the extravagant building, Patriarch! I wasnt even aware you offered to build this for them, so it was quite a surprise seeing such a construction already completed.

Great Elder, it is an honor for you to grace us with your presence! Please forgive this little one for his transgressions. We gifted the Chong Clan with our Banyan Building techniques in return for the favor they showed to us.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

Sage was only aiming to tease Yating a little, but he got such a serious response that he instantly abandoned the stern face he was putting on and laughed. He reached out and gave his son a hug and then matched eyes with him, So, the gambit was a success?

Congratulations!

Such a great clan is truly worthy of such a magnificent achievement!

The first exclamation came from a member of the Ci Branch Clan, eager to build some goodwill, or suck up as Sage saw it. The second statement was from a wealthy business owner in Good Fortune City, someone invited to help spread the news delivered in this clan meeting.

It is also important that the great legacy of the Chong Clan not be defiled. As such we are handing control of Ten Thousand Wave Province over to the Lang Clan. The Lang Clan used the battlefield to prove its strength to the world. Just like a proud parent, we are pleased to see them rise up!

Only the highest echelon of the Lang and Chong Clan had been privy to this decision previously, so only a few dozen of the people in the room were not completely surprised by this announcement. Who was the Lang Clan? Werent they considered to be basically wiped out just a few years ago? The Lang Clan had basically ceased to exist a century ago and only recently a solitary heir had appeared, one that was quite a laughing stock that couldnt even maintain control of a single city. Now they were supposed to take over an entire province?

Many eyes turned upon Sage and he not only knew of these harmful opinions of himself, but also overheard these scattered conversations. In the Inner World, he recorded this moment into a Memory Sphere and then spent a few minutes picking apart the individual conversations from the mess hed heard. It was certainly an extravagant use of time, using various techniques and magical devices to analyze rumors and hearsay. Yet, he considered it to be somewhat useful as he could get a more accurate judgment of what those in the Chong Clan and the Branch Clans thought of the Lang Clan.

At least its mostly disregard and confusion. I didnt really notice any outright hostility or vehemence.
