Wang Li's Survey Of Wang Family's Territory

Ye Fan's hand tightened into a fist, his teeth gritting together. This wasn't the answer he had hoped for.

Elder Gong, oblivious to the churning storm within Ye Fan, continued his casual narration. "They have received substantial support from both the Xia Family and the Song Family. Resources, formations, even experts – the Xia and Song families haven't held back in bolstering the Wang Family's defenses."

He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Even our Iron Hammer Sect's experts have taken a peek at their formations. Intricate work, I must say. A layered approach employing the best the Xia and Song families have to offer. It seems the Song and Xia Families haven't held back on assisting the Wang Family."

Ye Fan felt a cold pit forming in his stomach. Powerful formations? The Xia and Song Families, two powerful cultivation families, aiding the Wang Family? It was a scenario beyond his comprehension.
