And now, even a mere White Lotus Stockade could be associated with those scarce Artifact Refiners.
Interesting, truly interesting.
“Do you know where those giant crossbow carts came from?”
A moment later, Luo Changfeng once again asked Ruan Liuli, who had been silently standing by his side.
After pondering for a moment, Ruan Liuli replied, “The origin of those giant crossbow carts seems to be connected with Wan Haowei, the chieftain of the White Lotus Stockade…”
Luo Changfeng nodded, “Wan Haowei, hmm? I’ll remember that!”
…
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed.
Shang Heng District, Jiang Family territory.
At this moment, Jiang Taiqian, the current Family Head of the Jiang Family.
Although he was sitting quietly in the head seat, the anxiety on his face was impossible to conceal.
“Family Head, the Young Master has returned…”
Suddenly, a servant rushed into the room, hastening his pace.
“He’s back?”
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Taiqian didn’t pay attention to the servant but instead sprinted out of the room.
The fate of the Jiang Family, to live or die.
To rise powerfully or to decline gradually, all depended on this political marriage with the Luo Family.
If the marriage alliance succeeded, the Jiang Family would be thoroughly cloaked in the tiger’s skin that was the Luo Family.
The Jiang Family would stand, thoroughly and completely, on the same battle ship as the Luo Family.
In the Shang Heng District, the Four Great Families Alliance led by the Yi Family naturally wouldn’t dare to easily provoke the Jiang Family.
But if this marriage alliance failed…
As for what consequences the Jiang Family would face next, Jiang Taiqian couldn’t even bear to imagine.
…
“How did it go?”
Jiang Family territory.
Jiang Taiqian looked at Jiang Yan in front of him and asked with an urgent tone.
Yet, in response to Jiang Taiqian’s question,
Jiang Yan silently lowered his head and offered no answer.
“Was there some kind of accident?”
Looking at Jiang Yan’s demeanor, Jiang Taiqian instantly felt a surge of fear and unease.
So, he quickly grabbed his son Jiang Wugui and asked anxiously,
“Did it succeed?”
“Did the alliance materialize?”
“Did the Luo Family agree?”
The three rapid-fire questions left Jiang Wugui somewhat unable to react.
“Father…”
After swallowing his saliva, Jiang Wugui suddenly said to his father in a low voice, “Father, does our Jiang Family really have to rely on the Huai Shui County Luo Family to continue our existence in Shang Heng District? Is there really no one else who can help us?”
Jiang Wugui’s words slowly echoed throughout the Jiang Family territory.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Taiqian’s heart suddenly turned ice cold.
It’s over, all over.
Why did it turn out like this?
The political marriage with the Luo Family had ultimately failed…
Seeking help from other family powers was something that Jiang Taiqian had considered.
But now, the biggest problem was.
Those within their reach, who also had the capacity to help the Jiang Family.
The only one left is the Huai Shui County Luo Family.
As long as this marriage alliance with the Huai Shui County Luo Family is successful, the Jiang Family will be able to make a comeback against the odds.
Even more, the Jiang Family would be able to make use of the Luo Family’s deterrent power.
Thus ensuring a stable continuation in Shang Heng District.
But now, it seems that everything has become empty talk.
The Jiang Family in Shang Heng District is indeed one of the Five Great Families.
Granted, the Jiang Family is just at the bottom.
But in terms of family influence and heritage, they still have some.
If it was one-on-one, even if the Jiang Family were to die,
they could still bite off a chunk of the enemy’s flesh, making it quite unpleasant for the foe.
However, if it were four against one…
The prospects that the Jiang Family would face could very well be imagined.
…
Following the return of that group from the Jiang Family to Shang Heng District,
the Four Great Families Alliance, led by the Yi Family in Shang Heng District,
also received the news at the same time.
In a heavily guarded room on the Yi Clan’s premises,
Yi Sheng, the current Family Head of the Yi Family, along with the other three Family Heads, were all in that room.
“Yi Family Head, now that we’ve got the news, what are we waiting for?”
“After all, the Jiang Family’s alliance has already failed.”
“They’ve been driven out by the people of the Huai Shui County Luo Family.”
“This way, if we devour the Jiang Family, it would be without any concerns…”
Someone in the room, with excitement on their face, said this.
“Indeed, these words make sense.”
“If the Jiang Family had successfully formed an alliance with the Huai Shui County Luo Family,
having donned the Luo Family’s ‘tiger skin’, that would have been an end of it.”
“But now, the Jiang Family has failed.”
“And they were driven out by the Luo Family, there must be a reason for that.”
“If we exterminate the Jiang Family in one fell swoop at this time, we might even earn a bit of friendship from the Huai Shui County Luo Family.”
“This matter is indeed killing two birds with one stone.”
Another person in the room voiced out.
Except for Yi Sheng, the Family Head of the Yi Family, who sat at the main seat, his eyes closed all along, silent,
the last one in the room couldn’t help but nod silently after hearing what the other two had said,
seemingly quite tempted by the suggestion to eradicate the Jiang Family.
“No, we can’t destroy the Jiang Family…”
As the three people in the room increasingly strengthened their intention to wipe out the Jiang Family,
Yi Sheng, who was seated at the main position, suddenly opened his eyes.
“Why not?”
Someone in the room could not help but frown slightly, questioning Yi Sheng.
“There’s no particular reason, only that sometimes death is not the most painful thing – living in agony is much worse.”
“Moreover, whatever has actually happened between the Jiang Family and the Luo Family,
why the Luo Family suddenly kicked out the Jiang Family,
whether there are still feelings between Luo Yao and Jiang Xiaoyue,
all of these, we have no idea about.”
“To be on the safe side, I think instead of exterminating the Jiang Family, it would be better to gradually take over the Jiang Family’s power bit by bit…”
