- Strategic maneuvers by various family patriarchs.
- Hidden agendas and calculated risks are in play.
- The alliance faces internal political games.
The advisor beside him whispered, “Patriarch, the alliance is already in place. If we don’t send troops, the other families will accuse us of breaking the agreement.”
“Simple.”
A glint of calculation flashed in the eyes of the Xuanqiu family head. “Send a few hundred low-grade Great Luo cultivators and let them travel leisurely.”
They would openly claim to be rushing to assist the judicial authorities, but in reality, they would delay and follow from a distance, never taking the initiative to engage in battle.
Preserve our elite troops. The more casualties the Silu family suffers, the more confident we will be when negotiating for a share of the mines later.
The Old Red Clan, the Blazing Skyfire Domain.
Patriarch Chi Li had a fiery temper. After reading the message, he slammed his hand onto the stone table, flames erupting from his palm.
“That brat Si Yanchen menghabisi dozens of my Chi Li clan’s elite soldiers while robbing the ruins! He deserves to be killed!”
The elders under his command advised, “Patriarch, this alliance cannot be broken. If we refuse to help, the other families will gang up to pressure us.”
“I understand.” Patriarch Chi Li suppressed his anger, his eyes filled with calculation. “Send a symbolic team.”
However, he instructed the person in charge to avoid David if possible.
Ideally, David would severely damage the main force of the judicial system.
“Then, we can seize the opportunity to reclaim the ancient ruins that Silu kala stole.”
The Mo Yuan, Ling Tide, and Cang Ming families each had their own plans.
The Mo Yuan family head, who was responsible for the city’s population registration, thought that if the Si Lu family’s strength weakened, he could obtain the authority to enforce city security and take away some of the law enforcement powers from the Si Lu family.
With pills in hand, the Lingxi family head quietly calculated that once the war broke out, the prices of healing pills and spiritual medicines for soul recovery would skyrocket, allowing him to make a fortune.
The Cangming Clan Head guarded the Water Domain Secret Realm, intending to seal off the Water Domain Mountain Gate tightly, not actively participate in the war, and wait for the situation to become clear before seizing opportunities to profit.
The six major families outwardly maintained the alliance, but privately each harbored their own hidden motives, all wanting to snatch profits and weaken the Si Lu family by taking advantage of this chaos.
No one was willing to make all-out sacrifices for the legal profession without reward.
At this moment, David and his group of four had entered a medium-sized market town.
The market was bustling with people, and cultivators from all directions came and went for trade.
David and Jiang Xuelan strolled leisurely among the street stalls, with Canfeng and Canfei following behind, pretending to be two young followers.
The stalls sold ancient books and jade slips collected from various places, which recorded the ancient conflicts between different families in the Twenty-Five Heavens.
David picked up an old jade slip, concentrated his consciousness into it, and read it carefully.
“As expected.”
David whispered to Jiang Xuelan, “In the early years, when the seven great families formed an alliance, they fought several major battles for resources from extraterrestrial rifts, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.”
