It is said that after Lü Ci left, Lü Gong successfully fainted on Wudang Mountain and desperately clung to Wudang's leg.
Lu Ci is grinning like crazy right now...
Master Jiekong's meridians were destroyed, and he hasn't appeared for a long time.
Guan Shihua has rarely been seen since she began summoning spirits and generals. It is said that she has recently been overwhelmed with problems related to household spirits and the shamanic lineage.
There are even rumors that the five companies outside the Great Wall are showing signs of splitting up...
As for the Ten Elders, who rose from humble beginnings, they were not welcomed by the powerful families and old forces.
Chen Jinkui has recently disappeared.
Wang Ai's body was almost dried out.
The Wang family is now on the verge of destruction, with the patriarch dead and only one-tenth of the main branch remaining. With Wang Zhi fighting to the last breath of the Wang family on Longhu Mountain, they are on the verge of annihilation.
The main branch is practically deserted now, and the Wang family has been in complete chaos internally these past few days.
This leads to one thing...
Only five people attended the meeting of the Ten Elders: Lu Jin, Lü Ci, Na Ruhu, Feng Zhenghao, and Mu You. It turns out that the only person they could influence was Mu You.
What kind of hell joke is this?
Of the Ten Elders, only five came. Among the aristocratic families, only Mu You had any influence. The key was that Mu You ran a small inn in the martial arts world and always practiced self-preservation, so he would never speak up for them.
What's the point of holding a meeting of the Ten Elders?
Let's just hold a welcome party to celebrate Lu Xuan's entry into the capital.
Is this the same world of supernatural beings as our clan's?
Not to mention now:
Lu Xuan is approaching the capital.
"Cough cough..."
The meeting of the Ten Elders, with the head of the table.
Zhao Fangxu, who was in charge of chairing the meeting, coughed lightly twice.
His gaze swept over the "Ten Elders"—no, wait! the "Five Elders"—and then over Chairman Su, who was listening in.
Zhao Fangxu: "..."
Was this meeting really necessary?
I have this feeling that if I said something like "cripple Lu Xuan," I'd be taken down on the spot.
Unbeknownst to him, so many people had gathered around Lu Xuan.
This is the general trend!
A force capable of crushing itself with a single wave.
Zhao Fangxu convened the meeting of the Ten Elders to stabilize the situation, but Lu Xuan killed too many people too quickly, and the situation changed again and again before everyone could gather.
Even Zhao Fangxu's mindset changed back and forth. As a "paperhanger," he originally planned to do his best to maintain stability.
Later, he discovered that neither Lu Xuan nor the Na Du Tong company, nor even "the higher-ups" could tolerate his efforts to maintain stability, so Zhao Fangxu began to consider whether he should retire.
Now that news of the destruction of Chen Family Village has arrived, even the powerful clans are starting to put pressure on themselves...
Now we see the "lineup" of the meeting of the Ten Elders in the conference room.
Zhao Fangxu really wants to retire.
He coughed twice, and all eyes in the conference room turned to him.
Zhao Fangxu: "..."
Okay! He seems to be out of things to say.
It seems like nothing I say matters now.
Fortunately, the message from Erzhuang broke the awkward silence.
Then, in the next instant, the entire conference room exploded.
"What do you mean Lu Xuan has already arrived in the capital?"
"What? Master Lu has already gone to the Wang family?"
"What? The esteemed Master Lu invites us to witness the ceremony?"
A longer silence fell over the meeting room…
I haven't heard such a "polite" word in a long time!
Lu Xuan wanted to destroy the Wang family, yet he brazenly sent the Ten Message Masters and the All-Telecom Company to "attend the ceremony"?
This is hardly a slap in the face to the Wang family!
This is putting the faces of all the powerful families underfoot.
In silence, Chairman Su quietly changed the title on the tablet.
That was the title of the meeting agenda that Zhao Fangxu had asked her to draft, for the formal meeting between Nadutong Company and Lu Xuan.
With just a few strokes...
Welcome Master Lu Xuan to Beijing to provide guidance.
Chapter 166: We're all just here to watch the show.
It is a place blessed with natural beauty and natural charm, with antique buildings nestled against the mountains and beside the water, revealing a low-key and elegant style in its simplicity.
This is the Wang family's residence, a quiet mountain villa courtyard covering a hundred acres that looks ordinary and unremarkable.
After all, it has a thousand-year-old heritage and is one of the four great families in the world of supernatural beings. Moreover, it is located in the capital city, so it is impossible for it to be full of the atmosphere of nouveau riche like Chen Family Village.
According to the Wang family's own propaganda: "Our Wang family has a thousand-year-old heritage and has its own profound foundation."
However, this tranquility has now been broken...
"Which old codger is still stubbornly clinging on? We don't have time!"
"Who says it's not?"
"The countdown is almost over. If that old geezer doesn't die soon, are we really going to be buried with him?"
"If you ask me, don't wait any longer, just..."
The once tranquil and elegant royal courtyard is now overrun with footsteps.
Several sons from collateral branches of the Wang family gathered openly in front of the Wang family gate to discuss matters.
As the discussion deepened, a young master from the Wang family, with a cold expression, made a throat-slitting gesture.
They were all from collateral branches of the Wang family. Although they were not qualified to have access to the Wang family's power, they were still major members of the Wang family's vast network.
They enjoy the resources of the Wang family, bear the name of the Wang family, and are destined to always be just a branch of the Wang family, unable to touch the power of the Wang family in the slightest.
Wang Bing, the heir of the Wang family, has died.
The old patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Ai, who had been suppressing the family, died.
Wang Feng, who secretly carried out his schemes and struck fear into the hearts of all branches of the Wang family, is dead.
Even Wang Zhi, the incompetent but most likely successor, died.
Most of the main branch of the Wang family has died.
The current main branch of the Wang family cannot be described as outwardly strong but inwardly weak; they have been completely wiped out.
Anyone with eyes can see that the Wang family's demise is only a matter of time, especially...
During the conversation, several people glanced back with some apprehension.
Seven days ago, in the air above the royal family courtyard.
A wooden sword pierced through the void, pinning Wang Ai to the plaza. The sword light swept across the main branch of the Wang family, instantly destroying the foundation of the Wang family.
Wang Ai's body is still lying in the square, and no one dares to claim it. The words formed by the blood of many Wang family members have not yet dried.
The Wang family has already perished; what they are now are merely the lingering warmth of the giant who was once called the Wang family.
Don't talk about uniting as one to revitalize the Wang family; is that something we should be doing?
If these branch families don't hurry up and seize resources, and take a big bite before the Wang family, this behemoth, collapses, then they'll all be devoured by others.
Most of the resources have already been divided up, but the Wang family's most core "reputation" and core interests are still held by the only remaining old man in the Wang family.
Despite the gathering of numerous branches of the Wang family, they still couldn't snatch it from that old geezer. This was partly because the Wang family still had some loyal members, and partly because...
"That old geezer is now guarding the square all day, threatening us with that sword. Killing him is going to be a bit of a hassle!"
"Who says otherwise! That old bastard."
"If you ask me, shouldn't we stop now? The countdown is over. What if that person really attacks the Wang family?"
"This is the capital city, I don't believe Lu Xuan would really dare to go on a killing spree."
"That's right, I heard that Lu Xuan is still in Central China!"
"That's right! If we leave, and that old bastard dies, someone else will take a slice of the money."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"I'm not leaving, it's all money!"
The young men of the Wang family talked amongst themselves, discussing cooperation while simultaneously testing each other and scheming against one another.
Wealth stirs the heart, power entices desire.
They are no saints; they have been using all sorts of tricks lately, and the few remaining members of the Wang family's main branch have died at their hands.
As a result, the only surviving old man in the Wang family guarded the sword that had nailed Wang Ai to the square, which made them hesitant to act against him.
Now they are torn between fearing that Lu Xuan might actually attack the Wang family, being reluctant to give up the wealth and power they haven't yet shared, and trying every possible way to get others to withdraw...
Human greed is on full display at this moment.
As they talked, dark clouds gathered in the sky.
