Chapter 139 The Li Family Conspiracy
Chapter 139 The Li Family Conspiracy
"Master Li, is this really possible? After all, the Zhang family is an earl family personally appointed by the king, and I heard that Earl Ling Bing's strength is comparable to the peak of the Danhua realm."
The leaders of all forces above the third rank in Tianbao City were gathered in the Li family hall at this time.
Everyone was talking about it, and one of them stood up and looked at Li Buju, the head of the Li family, with a worried look on his face. He was Quan Hai, the head of the Quan family in Tianbao City.
"Hmph! Master Quan, if you don't dare, you can withdraw. However, if we succeed, you won't get any of the benefits."
Hearing someone questioning him, Li Buju, the head of the Li family, looked cold and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He stood up, looked at Quan Hai coldly, and responded bluntly.
"That's right, why should the head of the family encourage others to be more ambitious and destroy his own prestige? Zhang Chentian is just a young boy, why should we be afraid of him?"
At this time, the leader of the Huwei Gang, a third-rank force in Tianbao City, also stood up, with a look of disdain and ridicule on his face, and shouted at Quan Hai.
"Humph, I don't believe a young man in his twenties really has such strength. Even if he has such strength, he is the only one. Are we afraid of him when there are so many of us?"
The person who spoke was the leader of the third-rank Kuangfeng Village, and his face was covered with flesh.
There was a fierce gleam in his eyes, and his tone was full of disdain and provocation, as if the Zhang family was just a group of lambs to be slaughtered.
His words resonated with other forces around him, and they all echoed:
"Yes, yes, now the Li family's ancestor has also broken through to the late stage of the Danhua realm. Together with the Li family master who is in the middle stage of the Danhua realm, we have two powerful people in the Danhua realm on our side."
Everyone knows that the ancestor of the Li family has been stuck in the middle stage of Danhua for many years. This time he finally broke through to the late stage of Danhua, which can be said to be like adding wings to a tiger.
The head of the Li family is also in the middle stage of the Danhua realm. When the two of them join forces, their strength cannot be underestimated.
"Except for Zhang Chentian, the Zhang family only has Zhang Chongzhan, who just broke through to the Danhua realm not long ago. He can't be our opponent at all!" The leader of another faction sneered.
Everyone has only heard about Zhang Chentian's strength, and no one knows whether it is true.
Zhang Chongzhan had just broken through to the Danhua realm not long ago, but in comparison, the gap between them and the Li family was still obvious.
"That's right. With so many forces united, no matter how powerful Zhang Chentian is, he will find it difficult to withstand our offensive." Someone echoed.
For a time, leaders of many forces expressed their contempt and confidence in the Zhang family, as if they were certain that the Zhang family would lose.
"I think the position of the City Lord of Tianshui City must belong to the Li family head. Don't you agree?"
"Correct!"
"Well said!"
......
The head of the Li family watched everything happening in the hall calmly.
The slightly raised corners of his mouth showed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, but no one noticed this subtle change in expression.
Time passed quickly, and half a day was over in the blink of an eye. At this time, only the head of the Li family, Li Buju, and the eldest elder, Li Chengba, were left in the Li family hall.
"Great Elder, what's the situation at the Bishui Sect?"
"Don't worry, Patriarch, the ancestors of the Bishui Sect have already agreed. As long as we need them, they will fully support us."
Li Chengba replied with a smile.
"Well, the Great Elder has made great contributions in this matter. Once everything is settled, the resources rewarded to you will be doubled."
Li Buju heard this and said with a smile.
"Patriarch, there's no need to do this. The Bishui Sect also has a grudge against the Zhang family. Although it's not a blood feud, they don't want the Zhang family to prosper either."
Li Chengba declined.
"This family head always keeps his word. It is settled."
"The Zhang family has repeatedly opposed us and even murdered my most cherished grandson. I will never be at peace until this blood feud is avenged."
"The Zhang family must be destroyed!"
Li Buju said with a cruel look on his face.
His voice was filled with anger and hatred, as if he wanted to tear the entire Zhang family into pieces.
There was a fierce gleam in his eyes that made people shudder.
His hands were clenched into fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, blood seeping from his fingertips, but he was completely unaware.
He had only one thought in mind: revenge. He wanted to make the Zhang family pay the price, to make them also feel the pain of losing their loved ones.
He wanted to let them know how serious the consequences of offending the Li family were.
……
"Report to the clan leader! Young master! All the forces above the third rank in Tianbao City have gone to the Li family. They may be plotting something."
"After investigation by other secret guards, other cities also have such intentions, but they are all waiting and watching, waiting to see our Zhang family's attitude towards this matter."
In the study, a middle-aged man in black respectfully reported to Zhang Zongyu and Zhang Chentian all the information he had found out.
Zhang Zongyu frowned, a hint of worry in his eyes, while Zhang Chentian looked calm, as if he was not surprised by the news.
"Okay, we got it. You continue to keep an eye on them secretly and report to me immediately if there is any movement!" Zhang Zongyu said seriously.
"Yes! I'll take my leave!" The secret guard replied, then disappeared in a flash in the room.
These family secret guards are the elite force cultivated by the Zhang family at great cost.
Their existence is unknown to outsiders, and only the head of the Zhang family is qualified to command them.
This secret guard team consists of only fifty people, but the lowest level of their cultivation is the sixth level of Body Tempering.
Although the one with the highest cultivation level has only reached the peak of Qi Condensation, everyone has practiced dark attribute skills that are good at concealment.
Coupled with the help of the Breath-Concealing Technique, it is not easy even for a cultivator in the Condensation Realm to discover their traces.
Zhang Zongyu sat at his desk, lost in thought, while Zhang Chentian stood by, silently watching his grandfather ponder.
Zhang Zongyu turned to look at Zhang Chentian and asked softly, "Tian'er, what do you think?"
Zhang Chentian frowned slightly, then smiled and said:
"It's expected. It's normal for the Li family to make this choice. After all, our Zhang family and their Li family have reached a life-and-death struggle."
He paused and continued:
"But this is also a good thing. By destroying the alpha wolf of the Li family, we can establish our authority and let those who have ill intentions towards our Zhang family know that our Zhang family is not to be trifled with."
Zhang Zongyu nodded and said:
"Yes, the Li family's strength ranks among the top three in the seven southwestern cities."
"If we can easily destroy them, then other families will not dare to challenge our position so easily."
Zhang Chentian smiled and said:
"Yes, Grandpa. As long as we destroy the Li family, the other families will be much more honest."
"Moreover, we can also take this opportunity to integrate resources and expand the influence of our Zhang family."
Zhang Zongyu glanced at Zhang Chentian with appreciation and said:
"Okay, let's follow the plan! I hope everything goes well."
Zhang Zongyu put down the clan affairs in his hands and said in a deep voice.
