Chapter 323: Decision on the Candidate
Once action is taken, it will undoubtedly expose the existence of the team to the cultivators of White Cloud Temple and the Bai Family, rendering the element of surprise ineffective.
Therefore, seizing this opportunity is essential—not only to achieve a decisive blow but also to inflict as much damage as possible on the opponent.
The Bai Family is the largest force within five hundred miles south of Golden Rampart Market. Not only does their clan have six foundation establishment cultivators, they also have numerous connections within White Cloud Temple, making them a force to be reckoned with.
Having a legacy of nearly a thousand years, they have remained prosperous by following their own path of development. If this continues, it is indeed possible that they may give birth to golden core cultivators in the future, becoming a Golden Core Family.
“But such a powerful family is not without weaknesses.”
Thinking of this, Liu Yu's eyes flashed as he said, “Opportunities must not be missed; this is indeed a great opportunity, and there is a way to manipulate it.”
“Furthermore, we cannot keep our information hidden for too long.”
“Cui Shidi, please go inform Jiang Shimei, Yan Shidi, Leng Shimei, and Meng Daoyou to come here for a discussion.”
Once the news of the attack on Golden Rampart Market reaches this side, it is likely that all forces will become alert, making things more difficult.
Thus, it is imperative to eliminate the biggest obstacle during this time.
When the time is right, Liu Yu has never been a hesitant person.
“Yes, Senior Brother.”
Cui Liang stood up, cupped his hands, and pushed the door open to leave.
Watching him depart, Liu Yu lowered his head again, falling into deep thought.
The Bai Family is indeed strong among the numerous foundation establishment forces.
However, this strength is collective and not due to any single cultivator.
Thus, there lies an opportunity, at least in his eyes.
They possess numerous enterprises, including two second-order spiritual mountains. These enterprises yield substantial profits in spiritual stones every year, requiring the Bai Family cultivators to manage and protect them.
Therefore, a portion of the Bai Family's strength is actually dispersed among these enterprises.
If they directly attack Phoenix Mountain, which has strong defenses, the Bai cultivators stationed outside can arrive in time.
But if they attack the Bai Family's crucial enterprises now and take down a few foundation establishment cultivators, it would undoubtedly greatly weaken their power.
Taking advantage of the Wei Family's celebration, they can not only ambush the Bai cultivators attending the event but also simultaneously raid their important enterprises, killing the elders stationed outside.
If things go smoothly, the obstacle presented by the Bai Family would be reduced significantly.
Once the Bai Family is subdued, other forces within their influence will also be intimidated.
Whether to submit or resist, the locals would then truly calm down to consider their options.
However, after dividing forces, he would not be able to command at all times, necessitating the selection of a suitable person to lead the team in executing tasks.
This choice must be carefully considered.
While he was in thought, sounds came from the doorway, and several figures appeared one after another.
“Senior Brother Liu,” “Senior Brother Qingyang,” “Friend Qingyang.”
Jiang Qiushui, Yan Kai, Cui Liang, Leng Yuexin, and four other cultivators from subordinate forces all cupped their hands in greeting.
“No need for formality; please take a seat,” Liu Yu nodded slightly, signaling everyone to sit down.
The nine of them circled around the long table and sat down, but none spoke, simply looking at Liu Yu, and the room fell silent.
They understood that gathering all nine of them so formally meant there was something important to announce, and they waited for him to continue.
“The purpose of calling you all here is to discuss how to deal with the Bai Family.”
