Chapter 1338: Arrival of the Wang Family Main Branch

"Wang Yuxiang of the Wang family branch pays respects to Master Su and Elder Xuan!"

In the Wang family hall, an old man and a young man sat in the center.

Even Wang Yuxiang, the actual helmsman of the Wang family, could only stand below the hall.

Wang Lingbo could only stand behind Wang Yuxiang, without even the right to speak.

Master Su, seated at the head, wore a lofty expression, clearly not taking Wang Yuxiang seriously.

"Wang Yuxiang, your Guishan branch's recent performance has disappointed the main family! Such a large Wang family, nearly uprooted by someone!" Wang Su said nonchalantly.

Below, Wang Yuxiang and Wang Lingbo broke out in cold sweat upon hearing this.

The Wang family of Guishan City was merely a branch of the Wang family.

The main family of the Wang family was in Mingyang City.

The Tongtian Realm had no chaotic factions, only city after city.

The cities of the Tongtian Realm were divided into five levels: Commandery City, Royal City, Imperial City, Capital City, and Grand Capital City.

Commandery cities were the lowest level, cities where strong individuals managed low-level martial artists and mortals, and they were extremely numerous.

At the Royal City level, ordinary people could no longer enter.

Mortals were absolutely forbidden from entering Royal Cities!

Even divine path experts had to meet certain conditions to be eligible to enter Royal Cities.

The administrators of Royal Cities were at least at the Divine Lord realm or above.

Both Guishan City and Mingyang City were Commandery Cities, both belonging to Wumeng Royal City.

However, Guishan City was a very weak Commandery City, while Mingyang City was a relatively strong one.

Three years had passed since the three Wang family elders were killed by Ye Yuan.

During these three years, the Wang family of Guishan City had been extremely low-key, scaling back all operations, waiting for this day.

Wang Yuxiang had made a trip to the Yin Wind Cave, and it had infuriated him.

Upon a little inquiry, he learned that the three Wang family elders had all been annihilated.

The news brought by Feng Ping was complete nonsense.

However, Wang Yuxiang quickly realized the severity of the problem: regardless of what methods Ye Yuan had used, being able to wipe out all these Wang family elites was not to be underestimated.

Moreover, the Wang family had already suffered a severe loss of strength and could no longer compete with other families.

With this thought, Wang Yuxiang decided to swallow his pride and inform the Wang family main branch in Mingyang City of the situation.

Every ten years, the Guishan City Wang family had to pay a large tribute to the Mingyang City main family, precisely to prepare for a day like this.

Three years had passed, and the Wang family main branch had finally sent Wang Su and Wang Xuanfeng.

This Wang Su was a standout among the younger generation of the Wang family main branch, not yet five hundred years old, already a master at the Dongxuan Great Perfection level.

Wang Xuanfeng was even more remarkable; not only was he a martial arts expert, but he was also a two-star Divine Alchemist!

Although the martial world revered the strong, in business, everyone had to abide by the most basic rules of the game.

Originally, the four major forces of Guishan City were balanced in strength, with the Wang family being the strongest, the Lu and Lin families next, and the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion the weakest.

Now, with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion rising strongly through divine-grade pills, if the Wang family wanted to turn the tide, they had to use commercial means.

Once force was used, the City Lord's Mansion would inevitably intervene.

Although the Wang family was more powerful than the City Lord's Mansion of Guishan City, the mansion represented the Wumeng Royal City and could not be offended.

'Young Master Su, this time, the fault does not lie with the Wang family! That guest alchemist from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is truly sinister; we were caught off guard,' Wang Yuxiang said.

Although his cultivation level was higher than Wang Su's, he dared not offend him.

This was a young member of the main family being groomed with great care, whose future achievements were limitless.

'Heh, a mere early-stage Dongxuan cultivator has thrown your Guishan City branch into chaos. You really are something! Don't losers always like to make excuses like that?' Wang Su sneered.

Hearing is false; seeing is believing.

Wang Su naturally knew the news Wang Yuxiang had reported, but in his view, it was the incompetence of the Guishan City Wang family, not the strength of the opponent.

These reports were merely excuses.

Wang Yuxiang dared not refute and said to Wang Lingbo, 'Lingbo, present the items for Young Master Su and Elder Xuan to see.'

Wang Lingbo respectfully handed over two boxes. Wang Su took them casually and looked, his gaze still only contemptuous.

'Divine-grade Spirit Essence Pills, heh, the lowest first-grade lower-tier divine pills—what are they worth? Elder Xuan, don't you agree?' Wang Su laughed.

The previously silent Elder Xuan smiled and said, 'Yuxiang, mere first-grade lower-tier divine pills are nothing! With me here, even if the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion were a dragon, it would have to coil up! Also, when I came, the Grand Elder told me that the Guishan City branch has worked diligently over the years and made great contributions to the main family. The Grand Elder has specially approved allowing the Guishan City branch to select three elite disciples to enter the main family's Tenglong Pavilion.'

Wang Xuanfeng's words made Wang Yuxiang and Wang Lingbo tremble, their faces showing ecstasy.

The Tenglong Pavilion was where the main family specially trained elite disciples.

Once one entered the Tenglong Pavilion, their future achievements would be limitless.

The Wang family had suffered heavy losses this time, but being able to send elite disciples into the Tenglong Pavilion could be considered a blessing in disguise.

"Thank you, Master Su, Elder Xuan, and Grand Elder!" Wang Yuxiang said excitedly.

Wang Xuanfeng smiled and said, "Now, Yuxiang, you have no worries, right? In the next few years, Wang Su and I will stay here. You all focus on squeezing Wanbao Tower out of Guishan City—that's the key."

Wang Yuxiang's gaze sharpened, and he quickly said, "Elder Xuan, rest assured, the Guishan City branch will fully cooperate with the main family!"

Wang Yuxiang realized that the main family was finally going to take this opportunity to make a move against Wanbao Tower!

......

Ten years passed, and Ye Yuan made no progress.

Instead, Wuchen kept taunting him incessantly.

"Kid, give up. You've only spent a year; it's not too late to turn back now."

But Ye Yuan shook his head stubbornly and said, "Senior, we've known each other for a long time. You should understand my temper a bit by now. I won't give up."

Wuchen said angrily, "Kid, I admit your talent in alchemy is extremely strong, but martial arts techniques and alchemy are completely different things!"

Ye Yuan suddenly trembled all over, a look of ecstasy appearing on his face. He slapped his forehead and said, "Right! How could I be so stupid! There's a ready-made path right in front of me, and I've been taking detours!"

Wuchen was stunned, not understanding why Ye Yuan was inexplicably so excited.

"You kid, what have you thought of now?" Wuchen asked in confusion.

Ye Yuan said excitedly, "Since I'm creating my own technique, it should be the one most suitable for me! Senior, don't you think so?"

Wuchen nodded woodenly, "That goes without saying!"

"Then, Senior, what do you think is my strongest aspect?" Ye Yuan asked again.

Wuchen said, "Naturally, it's alchemy! Huh? You mean to use alchemy as the point of integration to create a technique? This... this is too far-fetched, isn't it? Would the technique created be specifically for alchemy?"

Ye Yuan chuckled but said nothing more, leaving Wuchen quite frustrated.
