Gongyang Yu spoke with a grand air, making Feng Jueyu and Xiao Yuanshan's hearts race. The story of the noble families was too mysterious, and it was no wonder that Feng Jueyu could not obtain any information about the super noble families from the memories of the deceased Feng Wanku. In the eyes of the world, super noble families were merely more powerful and wealthier, not much different from the Shangguan family.
But the truth was far from it...
After Gongyang Yu finished speaking, Feng Jueyu and Xiao Yuanshan instinctively exchanged glances. Xiao Yuanshan exclaimed in surprise, "Private armies? The private armies of super noble families are made up of martial artists? That's incredible."
Feng Jueyu also nodded. His previous understanding of noble families was based on imagination. In his view, noble families were like those described in cultivation novels from his previous life, where experts were rare and thus precious. Even if a noble family was powerful, it couldn't have too many experts.
However, the noble families of the Taixuan Continent were involved in the military, and having private armies was not to be underestimated.
He asked, "How powerful are the private armies of super noble families?"
Gongyang Yu replied, "It's hard to say. Generally, martial arts noble families can have private armies, but usually, they have only three to five hundred people, with varying levels of strength from Qi Martial to True Martial. But super noble families are terrifying. Generally, a small super noble family has a private army of over a thousand people, at least at the True Martial level. A medium-sized one can have two to three thousand people, with cultivation reaching the Spirit Martial level. As for a large super noble family, well, in an army of five thousand, at least a thousand are Xuan Martial experts... Commanders and generals must be at the Divine Martial level to even qualify to lead the army..."
Feng Jueyu: "Damn..."
Xiao Yuanshan: "What the hell..."
Gongyang Yu, seeing their shocked and exclaiming faces, felt very satisfied with the effect he had created. He smiled and said, "Now you understand, right? True noble families are very frightening. Without mentioning super noble families, just take your disciple's master, the Ling family of Tianjian Mountain. They have their own private army, and as far as I know, it has about five hundred people. The Ling family has many talented disciples and is considered a significant martial arts noble family in the Tian Nan Kingdom. You should be happy to have taken one of their disciples as your own."
"I'm not happy at all," Feng Jueyu said. He wasn't as carefree as Gongyang Yu. Was this something to be happy about? If the master came looking for him, could he stand on equal footing with him? He'd be lucky if he didn't get his little brother cut off, especially since the master of the seemingly jade-like girl was probably a woman.
Bullying someone's disciple, aside from that, all they had to do was open their mouth, and they could summon many experts of the same level as him. One person spitting at him would be enough to end his life. How could he be happy?
Moreover, from what Gongyang Yu said, super noble families were not just about having private armies.
Think about it, what do noble families need private armies for?
To guard the house? Is it necessary to make such a big deal?
Definitely not. The significance of private armies lies in their ability to be commanded and mobilized. With private armies, they can seize territories and fight for dominance. What else could they do?
In other words, true super noble families are absolute super powers...
Although Gongyang Yu didn't say it, Feng Jueyu guessed correctly. Super noble families are another form of super power. The struggle for dominance on the Taixuan Continent is just a small matter; the true power lies in the grand plans of the super noble families...
Feng Jueyu was sweating, realizing that his understanding of this world was still subjective and not broad enough.
On the side, Xiao Yuanshan was excited, grabbing Feng Jueyu's hand and saying, "Young Master Feng, why don't you take the lead and form a super noble family? Although there are few martial artists among our brothers now, we can train them..."
"Get lost," Xiao Yuanshan was immediately kicked by both Gongyang Yu and Feng Jueyu before he could finish speaking.
"Do you think martial artists are like steamed buns, easily made? Do you understand how difficult it is to train in martial arts? Talent, diligence, and profound techniques are all required, and one must start training from a young age to build a solid foundation. Each soldier in the private armies of super noble families is carefully selected and trained with enormous resources and countless treasures. Your group of ragtag followers, let alone forming a noble family, can't even compare to the city guard. It's a pipe dream..." Gongyang Yu scolded disdainfully.
Xiao Yuanshan rubbed his sore buttocks and climbed down from the door, sitting back down sullenly.
Feng Jueyu was deep in thought, suddenly feeling a chill. Xiao Yuanshan's words reminded him that if there were countless hundred-year-old Heavenly Snow Lotus, this plan might not be impossible.
Just like leveling up in a game, yes, Xiao Yuanshan's followers were a ragtag group, but with a powerful cheat, they could be leveled up into experts.
Damn, this plan seems crazy?
But it might be feasible?
Feng Jueyu thought about it but didn't respond, instead asking, "Old man, besides the hundred-year-old Heavenly Snow Lotus, what other treasures have the same effect? Where can I find them?"
This question was a bit too direct. Gongyang Yu immediately knew what Feng Jueyu was thinking and was shocked, "Damn, are you also going crazy? You want to form a super noble family?"
"Is it impossible?" Feng Jueyu countered, and Xiao Yuanshan's eyes immediately lit up.
"Madman," Gongyang Yu said disdainfully. "You're an idiot, haven't you understood yet? Think about it, how does a powerful noble family come about? It's the result of countless ancestors' efforts over generations. With your group, I'm not underestimating you, but by the time your plan is executed, you'll be old and gray. By the time you reach a hundred years old, if you can produce one or two Heaven Martial experts, that would be great. Sigh, human life is ultimately limited..."
Feng Jueyu knew Gongyang Yu was right, but he didn't agree. This plan was indeed crazy, but for the great assassin Feng Jueyu, who possessed the Hongyuan Space, it might not be impossible.
He had only developed a part of the powerful abilities in the Hongyuan Space. In recent days, every time Feng Jueyu felt his cultivation improve, the area of the Hongyuan Space increased. At first, he didn't notice, but when he reached the second level of the Life and Death Unchanging Art a few days ago, he unexpectedly found that the Hongyuan Space had expanded significantly.
Moreover, the cultivation effects of the land in the Hongyuan Space were far superior to any land in the world. If he could obtain the seeds of the hundred-year-old Heavenly Snow Lotus, he could mass-produce experts, and the noble family plan would not be a dream.
Thinking about this, Feng Jueyu's pupils contracted. Since this life was a blank slate, he might as well make the most of it.
With this thought, Feng Jueyu squinted his eyes and said to Xiao Yuanshan, "Yuan Shan, find a few people to infiltrate Miaoshan Hall for me. Miaoshan Hall has a hundred-year-old Heavenly Snow Lotus. Find out where it is and get me the exact location... Ideally, get me a map of the entire Miaoshan Hall... Is this difficult?"
Gongyang Yu was immediately shocked, "You really want to go after the hundred-year-old Heavenly Snow Lotus?"
Feng Jueyu glanced at him without answering, staring straight at Xiao Yuanshan.
Xiao Yuanshan slapped his thigh and said, "What's the big deal? It's too easy. To be honest, I have a brother who has a relative in Miaoshan Hall, and he's a minor manager. His name is Chen Fu. He's a gambler and owes a lot of money, so he embezzled money from Miaoshan Hall to pay off his debts. We have him by the balls. All this is recorded in the book I gave you. Haven't you read it?"
Feng Jueyu slapped his forehead and pulled out the book Xiao Yuanshan had given him, which contained information on all the important figures and their actions in the city. "I haven't had time to read it yet. Is this really feasible?"
Xiao Yuanshan grinned, "Absolutely. Didn't you ask me to gather information on Miaoshan Hall? I've already contacted him this morning. He embezzled a significant amount of money. If Xu Zixiong finds out, he'll be dead. How can he not listen to us?"
"Really?" Feng Jueyu was overjoyed. He needed such an insider. He said, "Keep an eye on him immediately. Get me the information as soon as possible. When you contact him, be extremely careful not to reveal your identity. Once you get the information, tell me immediately and get him out of there as soon as possible..."
Xiao Yuanshan chuckled and patted his chest, "Got it, I know what to do."
"Old man..." Feng Jueyu nodded and looked at Gongyang Yu, "Get ready. When the opportunity comes, we'll make our move. Whether it's Mogud or Xuan Martial, I must get the hundred-year-old Heavenly Snow Lotus..."
"Madman," Gongyang Yu rolled his eyes and fell onto the bed.
