Chapter 56 The Beiming Family
The Beiming Family Plantation.
Inside the meeting hall, the older generation of the Beiming Family was in a heated discussion.
“Someone is actually trying to ruin our Beiming Family reputation!?” A bald elder with a long gray beard declared with an angry expression. It was clear that he was furious with the rumors spreading in the capital over the past few days.
In fact, it was not just the bald elder who wore an angry expression. Almost everyone within the meeting hall had the same look in their eyes.
Sitting on the most prominent chair was an old man with sunken cheeks. His turbid eyes shone with an intense light as if he was thinking hard. This old man was the supreme elder of the Beiming Family, Supreme Elder Beiming Lei.
Supreme Elder Beiming Lei was a 7th rank Emperor realm expert. Although he looked like a decrepit old man, his great strength had not diminished in the slightest even after so many years.
Supreme Elder Beiming Lei glanced at a middle-aged man who looked to be in his late forties as if he was waiting for the latter to speak.
The middle-aged man sensed the familiar gaze of the supreme elder, so he immediately cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. “Ehem! Ehem!”
This middle-aged man was the current patriarch of the Beiming Family, Patriarch Beiming Liqiang. He was already at the early stage of the 7th rank Emperor realm.
Upon seeing that he had gathered everyone's attention on himself, Beiming Liqiang nodded in satisfaction.
“Chairman, I know that the current problem really sucks, but we have to think about what we should do about this… We cannot let anyone throw our Beiming Family reputation into the mud!” Patriarch Beiming Liqiang said in an astonishing tone.
The elders nodded in agreement as they clenched their fists with angry gazes.
Their Beiming Family had always been loyal to the Silveria Imperial Family since their founding year, so they felt extremely displeased when some of the noble clans of the Silver Wing Empire chose to believe the rumors that had circulated.
They felt that the efforts of their ancestors were futile with everyone's current attitude towards them.
“The opinion of the aristocratic clan is not important, but if the Silveria Imperial Family also chooses to believe this rumor then.” The bald elder with a long gray beard does not want to say the rest, he said, so she let him. he sighed and shook his head.
Patriarch Beiming Liqiang frowned and tapped his finger on the table in a rhythmic pattern as he thought deeply of the bald elder's words. He understood the importance of the establishment of the Silveria Imperial Family regarding the rumors circulating, but he believed in the forward-looking Emperor Elyk.
“Your words are correct, but do not underestimate His Majesty's intelligence. He did not just take the throne because of his luck. In fact, because of his incredible strength and wisdom, he has taken over the throne.” Patriarch Beiming Liqiang said in a respectful tone.
Supreme Elder Beiming Lei who was silent throughout the discussion nodded in agreement and said in a calm but old voice.
All the elders eyes lit up when they heard the words of the supreme elder.

“Pu!” A ray of light brilliantly pierced through the defenses of the high-level beast which also decapitated his head during that process.
“Gedebuk!” The headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud but loud.
The carcass of the headless beast lay in a puddle of its own blood, painting a green field with a deep red hue.
In front of the corpse, Jiu Shen nonchalantly waved his sleeve with a calm and detached look.
“King of the Thorny Land Bear Level 8 Heavenly World. Edible but not tasty..It is a pity.” Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he glanced at the huge headless corpse lying on the grassy field.
Lu Sulan already had a numb look when he saw how easy it was for Jiu Shen to bring out so many high-level beasts. The savage beast before them was already the sixth beast to die under Jiu Shen's hands.
And the most shocking thing was that they all died in just one move!
If it was himself, he would have trouble fighting with that ferocious beast. But in front of his master, the powerful ferocious beast was like a weak and helpless farm chicken…
So he was no longer surprised when he saw the 8th rank heavenly realm Thorny Bear King die with just a single move of Jiu Shen.
“Master, if you won't take it, may I keep it? Although the Thorny Earth Bear Body tasted bad, its bones and internal organs were valuable ingredients for making some pills. I can sell that beast body to Alchemy. Hall for a large number of true crystals.” Lu Sulan poked at Jiu Shen's back as he spoke softly.
Jiu Shen glanced at Lu Sulan and nodded his head. “OK..”.
After obtaining his master's approval, Lu Sulan excitedly stored the corpse of the huge beast inside his storage room. Even the head of the beast was also not spared from also entering its storage room.
Jiu Shen's lips curved slightly upwards as he looked at the spirited actions of his disciple. He then turned to look at the huge lake that was only a few hundred meters away from them.
“Lake Green Mountain... Not a bad sight to see..”.
His pair of silver eyes were like two deep pools peering out from a distance.
