Crisis Is Coming, Retreat Breaks Through

"Yue Family, they're probably struggling to protect themselves now!"Upon hearing this, the Wang and Jiang families immediately looked at him curiously, wanting to know the reason.Seeing this, the head of the Chu Family showed a hint of disdain towards the two.They are truly ignorant, not even aware of such an event."Don't be afraid to tell you, our current king is already on the verge of death!"Upon hearing this, the two were shocked.But then they realized that the current king had already reached an old age when he ascended to the throne.In addition, in recent years, he has indulged excessively and made slow progress in cultivation.For so many years, he has not broken through to the realm of a Grandmaster in the Celestial Phenomenon stage.It should be noted that the lifespan of someone in the Divine Sea stage is only four hundred years, and he was already over three hundred when he ascended to the throne.Now, he is relying on medicine to prolong his life, but it's almost at its limit.However, what does this have to do with them?Seemingly sensing their confusion, the head of the Chu Family continued to explain."Nowadays, in the capital, the competition among the major crown princes has reached a white-hot stage. The sister of the head of the Yue Family has a son who is also participating in the struggle for the throne. The Yue Family has already taken a position voluntarily!""Unfortunately, although this prince is favored because of his mother, his development is still too short, far behind the other crown princes!""Although the Yue Family is strong, being in the center of the dynasty like the capital, they are somewhat ordinary. Now, the Yue Family is being watched by many forces. A mere Ye Family is simply beyond their control!""The Sea Slaughtering Blade Sect is originally a neutral force and is sought after by various parties. If the Ye Family offends them and causes them to side with the enemy, it would be a loss not worth the gain!""Furthermore, from the Yue Family marrying Yue Rushuang to the Ye Family, it can be seen that they don't really care about the Ye Family. It's just a way to repay a favor!""Now that the Yue Family is in trouble themselves, they wouldn't care about the Ye Family anymore. What Yue Rushuang said may sound nice as the Holy Maiden, but in harsher terms, she's just a useless person who has long been abandoned by the Yue Family!""Therefore, when dealing with the Ye Family, we don't need to care about the Yue Family's attitude!"Upon hearing this, the heads of the Wang and Jiang families finally breathed a sigh of relief.However, they still hesitated.After all, the Ye Family is a family that survived the previous struggle for succession and has a long history of development. Who knows what hidden cards they still have!Seeing this, the head of the Chu Family also became a little annoyed.He didn't expect these two family heads to be so timid and cautious.You should know that two years ago, when they were competing with him for the resources of the Ye Family, they weren't like this!Seeing this, he had to bring out his trump card!"Don't worry, the Sea Slaughtering Blade Sect will send the Second Elder to preside over the situation and ensure that no one in the Ye Family can escape!""By then, if you perform well, you might even earn his appreciation and friendship!"Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two family heads immediately lit up.The Second Elder of the Sea Slaughtering Blade Sect is a veteran Grandmaster at the Celestial Phenomenon realm, who made a name for himself in the Great Xia Dynasty a hundred years ago!If they could establish a relationship with this elder, it would undoubtedly be beneficial for the development of their families.Moreover, they have long held a grudge against the Ye Family. At this moment, with the Chu Family taking the lead, why wouldn't they seize the opportunity?Just as the two were about to speak, suddenly, even the Chu Family patriarch felt their spatial rings flicker a few times.Without much thought, they took them out, and it turned out to be a sound transmission jade slip.Soon, a message entered their ears."The Ye Family has found a vein of spiritual energy stones, about three thousand miles long!"Once this news came out, the eyes of the three major families immediately turned red.A vein of spiritual energy stones, if they could obtain it, their families would undoubtedly soar.In an instant, the patriarchs of the Wang and Jiang families spoke without hesitation."Brother Chu, rest assured, we will not hesitate to destroy the Ye Family. It's just that vein of spiritual energy stones?"The Chu Family patriarch's eyes flickered, then he smiled and said, "Rest assured, Sea Slaughtering Blade Sect will definitely not be interested in such a vein. When the time comes, we will divide it based on our contributions, how about that?""That's great!" The two patriarchs immediately expressed their satisfaction.After discussing further, the three parties then left separately.Watching the backs of the two patriarchs as they left, until they disappeared from sight, he restrained the smile on his face.A cold light flickered in his eyes, and a trace of a sneer hung on his lips. "Haha, do you think you deserve to occupy the vein of spiritual energy stones?"Obviously, this Chu Family patriarch had great ambitions and did not intend to share with others.Moreover, he was determined to make the Chu Family the number one family in Thunder Cloud County, so how could he let go of this opportunity?"The Qi Stone vein, I can take this opportunity to establish a connection with the Second Elder and help the Chu Family firmly secure the position of being the number one family in Thunder Cloud County!"He also knew that relying solely on the Chu Family to swallow up the Ye, Wang, and Jiang families was a bit of wishful thinking.But if there was a Celestial Phenomenon realm Grandmaster to help, there would definitely be no problem.After making up his mind, he left the hall and arrived at a courtyard belonging to the Chu Family.Then, he respectfully bowed and said, "Chu Family's Chu Renxin requests an audience with the Second Elder!""Come in!"...The temperature in June was always particularly hot, and even those with cultivation felt a hint of annoyance.Suddenly, Thunder Cloud County seemed a bit desolate, with many large markets and business associations suddenly closing.Those who were observant immediately sensed that something was amiss and hurriedly went back to their homes, closing their doors tightly.They were all elderly residents of Thunder Cloud County and naturally felt that something was wrong.Sure enough, not long after, a thunderous roar echoed throughout the entire county from the Ye Family's residence.Boom~~!"Chu Renxin, what do you three major families mean? Do you want an all-out war with the Ye Family?"
