Chapter 129 Wanjia
Xu Feng did not stay in Piaoxiang Pavilion in the end. After saying goodbye to Wang Fei briefly, he left.
You must have status and position to show your strength. In Qinglian County, if you still keep a low profile, you will not be able to move forward. Moreover, you will have to interact with people from the Situ and Lei families in the future. If you don't have a certain status, I'm afraid they won't even look at you.
On this day, in a restaurant, Xu Feng was considering whether he should choose a practicing family to be the family's sponsor like he did in Tianhe Town, and which family he should choose, when he suddenly heard the conversation of two people at the next table.
“The Wan family is in danger this time. It is very likely to fall out of the ranking of the four major families in the west of the city and become a third-rate family.” One person sighed.
"Yes. The Wan family originally only had one chief steward and one chief priest who were mid-level third-grade masters, so they were relatively weak. They had originally hoped that the eldest son, who had been away for training for many years, would come back to support the family. However, there was news that he had been killed on his way back by assassins secretly hired by the other three major families.
Now, even the family's chief priest has been bribed by the three major families and has defected from the Wan family. Now there is only an elderly butler holding on. The five-yearly arena competition is coming soon, and the situation is precarious. "Another person also sighed.
"The three big families have done too much this time. However, the cultivation world is so cruel, and there are many examples of people who have made a mistake and have been doomed. When a family rises, there must be a family that declines and withdraws. It's just that the Wan family is unlucky this time. By the way, the four big families in the west of the city will compete in the arena in three days. How about you and I go to watch the battle together?"
"Right on my mind."
After listening to this, Xu Feng showed a thoughtful look on his face. Is the situation of the Wanshengqing family so bad? The family's chief priest? This title is good and loud enough to be said out. He was somewhat tempted, but he had to find out about the strength of the four major families in the west of the city first, so as to know himself and the enemy.
……
three days later.
To the west of Qinglian County City, is the Wan family mansion.
Now, apart from a loyal butler, the only direct descendants of the Wan family are the siblings Wan Shengyang and Wan Shengxuan. Wan Shengyang's talent for cultivation is not bad either. With the help of resources provided by the Wan family, he is now a mid-level seventh-grade warrior, which is superior to most of his peers.
Wan Shengxuan is a well-behaved daughter of a wealthy family. She is not keen on spiritual practice and is only in the middle stage of the ninth rank.
At this time, the three of them, along with their family members, were anxiously waiting with the last glimmer of hope. However, as time went by, the figure that they had been thinking about in their minds never appeared at the gate of the mansion.
Wan Shengxuan is a girl after all, and she was the first to lose control and tears kept streaming down her cheeks.
"Brother, he, is in real trouble!"
Today was an important day for the four major families to compete in the ring and divide the territory and sphere of influence in the west of the city, and Wan Shengqing would never miss it. But now, he did not show up at the last moment, obviously he had encountered an accident.
"I shouldn't have any illusions. Since Qiu Gongsheng resolutely chose to leave the Wan family, he must have received clear news from the three major families. Big brother has really been murdered." Wan Shengyang was like a daze, muttering to himself, his heart was torn, and he felt like the sky was falling.
Yan Bo's mood gradually sank, but he was now the only pillar of the Wan family and he must not fall.
Therefore, he quickly adjusted his emotions and comforted them: "Second Young Master and Third Young Master, don't be too sad. The eldest young master may not have really gotten into trouble. Maybe he was delayed on the way. Even if it is true... our Wan family is not extinct. The worst result is nothing more than losing the position of the four major families. As long as you, the second young master, can be promoted to the middle third rank in the future, the Wan family will always have a chance to regain what it has lost, and the blood of the Wan family will eventually be repaid with blood."
Yan Bo's words finally worked. Wan Shengyang was the last hope of the Wan family. Whether he was willing or not, he had to shoulder the responsibility of continuing and revitalizing the family.
"Uncle Yan, you are right. Now is not the time to be sad. Let's go. If we don't leave now, the other three families will probably think that we are deserting the battlefield and will just take away all our territory." Hearing this, Wang Shengyang was silent for a moment, suppressing the sadness in his heart, and his eyes became extremely firm.
……
At the junction of the territories of the four major families in the west of the city, there is a huge empty arena, like an ancient arena. In addition to the high stands facing the arena, which belong to the four major families, there are also some low seats around it for warriors from other third-rate families in the west of the city to sit and watch.
At this time, the top leaders of the other three of the four major families, the Zhao, Zhang and Li families, were already drinking tea leisurely in the stands. They looked extremely relaxed, chatting and laughing with each other, looking as if they were sure of victory.
The three families had already privately divided up the Wan family's fat piece of meat, and they were all quite satisfied with each other, so they were naturally very happy at this moment.
"Wan family, are you afraid to come?" Seeing that the Wan family had not arrived yet, the head of the Zhao family gently put down the teacup and spoke.
"No, at least the Wan family's housekeeper wouldn't be so useless." The Zhang family's head had a gleam in his eyes. If it weren't for this old man who was so loyal, things wouldn't have been so troublesome and would have been done long ago.
"Huh? Here they come." The head of the Li family looked moved. But seeing the Wan family and others striding over from a distance, facing the meaningful looks of the onlookers and other third-rate families, their momentum did not seem decadent or depressed.
After the Wan family sat on the stage, the other three families looked at each other, and the head of the Zhao family stepped forward first and said, "Since everyone is here, there will be no more nonsense. The five-yearly competition among the four major families will officially begin."
After he finished speaking, he paused, glanced at the Wan family, and said clearly: "However, the Wan family's strength has been greatly reduced, and it is no longer able to bear the name of the four major families. After the other three of us discussed together, we unanimously decided to remove the Wan family from the list. Do you, the Wan family, have any objections?"
The onlookers were shocked. Although they knew that the other three families were going to attack the Wan family, they were still surprised by the directness and ruthlessness. After all, the Wan family had been known as the four major families in the west of the city for forty or fifty years, and it was well-established.
The three families did not hide their intentions at all. It seemed that the eldest son of the Wan family really fell into their hands.
"According to the rules, if one of the three families wants to remove another family from the list, in addition to satisfying the condition that the other family's own strength is greatly reduced, they must also allow the other family's warriors to challenge any warrior of the same level in a best-of-three contest, is that right?" Yan Bo stood up.
"That's right. If the Wan family doesn't want to be expelled, they can send three people to challenge any warriors of the same level from the three families. If they can win two out of three games, they can still retain the title of the four major families. However, Elder Yan, you are old. There are only two warriors of the same level as you from our three families, both of whom are younger and more vigorous than you. Do you really want to do this?" The head of the Zhao family asked. Although they were enemies, he still had some respect for such a loyal person.
