Peerless God of War

Chapter 2704: Loose Cultivator Alliance

A few days later, in the meeting hall of the Nian family.

"Master, this matter is full of weirdness. In recent days, several cultivators at the peak of the Jiexian Realm have been assassinated. Their deaths are unclear, as if they evaporated out of thin air, without any trace. I suspect that this matter is the work of an assassination master from the Jiexian Realm." An elder said in a deep voice in the hall.

At this time, all those who are qualified to sit here are the core members of the Nian family, the elders and the patriarchs. For these people, many of the black hands were done by them personally. Naturally, they have a better understanding of these phenomena and have more say.

Anyone who understands the secret operation of the four major families and the internal rules can see at a glance that this assassination must have been carried out by people from the four major families.

Kill one to warn the hundred first, and then divide and suppress. This set of procedures is too familiar to them.

However, this assassination did not seem to achieve the expected effect. It is obvious that the rebound pressure from the loose cultivator alliance is enormous.

Hearing this, Nian Shoushan nodded, agreed with the elder's judgment, looked down, and asked: "Did you participate in this matter?"

"Replying to the clan leader, no." Many elders responded immediately.

They didn't want to be involved in this matter, not to mention that they really didn't do anything. They didn't dare to take the blame. There was no such good thing as taking the blame for others.

"No, we didn't do anything."

"According to the clan leader's instructions, we have been very quiet during this period of time. We didn't do anything else. We all hid at home and practiced with one heart, not to mention sending people to assassinate. If we did it, it would definitely leave traces."

"That's right, that's right, how could we dare not listen to your orders, clan leader." Someone echoed.

A group of people quickly tried every means to clear themselves of the relationship, fearing that they would be implicated, especially at this sensitive time, it is better to have less trouble than more.

After all, among the four major families on the island, the strength of the Nian family was originally ranked third. Now that two super powers, the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce and the Yunxiao Pavilion, have come, the influence of the Nian family on the island is even lower.

At this time, if you don't act like a turtle and keep a low profile, it's no different from seeking death.

Nian Shoushan saw that the expressions and statements of these people didn't seem to be false. After all, they were all family members here, so there was no need to lie. After thinking for a while, he said: "It seems that this matter should be done by the Shui family and the Yun family. Shui Mingyao and Yunshan, hum, you are in a good mood. You dare to take action at this time. You are not small. I just don't know whether it is right or wrong, good or bad to do so. It's unknown."

Immediately, Nian Shoushan made his own judgment. It must be said that he is worthy of being the head of the family. Although the strength of the Nian family is not as good as that of the Shui family and the Yun family, it does not prevent him from making correct judgments and actions.

"Pass the order down, we should not participate in this matter, just wait and see." Nian Shoushan said calmly.

"Yes, Patriarch."

"Yes, I have your order."

Just as Nian Shoushan had set the tone and was not allowed to participate in these things, the Mu family on the other side was also discussing this matter.

In the meeting hall of the Mu family, Mu Chenke frowned and said in a deep voice: "I am afraid that this matter will have a great impact. These casual cultivators have many prejudices against our four major families, and many of them even have hatred, especially those in the casual cultivator alliance, who regard our four major families as enemies. We have to be on guard."

Mu Chenke's words show the attitude of the Mu family on this matter. Originally, the strength of the Mu family was at the bottom among the four major families, so they were even more unwilling to see such a change.

Because the four major families have always been of the same blood and inseparable. Of course, here it refers to dealing with external forces, that is, forces outside Yongling Island. The four major families have always acted together and cooperated with each other.

Only in this way can the joint rule of the four major families on the island be consolidated, and no matter who is from the four major families, it is beneficial and harmless.

This is called common interests.

Although the four major families have various disagreements and frictions, even some hatreds, blood feuds, etc., they are surprisingly consistent on this matter.

Because of this, it is almost impossible for some small forces outside the island to infiltrate. Even if someone suddenly becomes powerful and has the opportunity, they will be quickly strangled by the four major families.

Among them, assassination is the most convenient and quickest way.

It is also based on this completely inertial thinking that when the loose cultivator alliance united again and planned to besiege the four major families in the battle for Chaos Beast Island, Shui Mingyao’s first thought was to assassinate.

Assassination is the simplest and crudest, and it is easy to use. Why not do it?

But as Mu Chenke said, the consequences of this behavior are unpredictable. If he were Shui Mingyao, he would never do this. It is too unwise and it is very easy to cause a more terrible backlash, which is what he least wants to see.

Especially now that the Mu family is already in a precarious situation and may collapse at any time.

Thinking of this, Mu Chenke's face turned cold, and his eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone in the conference hall. The master and disciple could see some clues and true thoughts from these people's faces.

After experiencing the last fierce battle with the Nian family, someone defected from the family. This was a big blow to Mu Chenke's confidence. He now distrusted all the people present.

He didn't know whether these people were really standing with him and wanted to save the Mu family, or whether they were just considering their own interests and might defect at any time and run away.

Now he really had no confidence at all. He even said that he now trusted the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce the most, not these clan members.

This sounded really ironic and ridiculous.

After thinking for a while, Mu Chenke suddenly felt powerless and said, "Someone has been sent to inform the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce about this matter. Is there any response from there?"

"Report to the clan leader, there is no response yet, but it should be soon." An elder replied.

"Oh."

"Report, clan leader, there is a response from the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce." At this time, a guard who delivered the message ran quickly into the meeting hall from outside.

He was holding an envelope in his hand and quickly handed it forward.

Mu Chenke's face lit up with joy, and with a wave of his right hand, the envelope immediately flew into his hand. However, when he opened the envelope with great expectation, he only saw three big characters written on it in a flamboyant style.

"Got it"
