Nowadays, the real estate prices in the imperial city have crazily dropped by about half.
Among those suffering the most losses are the top forces, who own numerous properties.
If this continues, in less than half a year, these major forces might run out of resources.
“That Qin Chen is the founder of the Chen Di Pavilion; he must die. Once he is dead, the others in the Chen Di Pavilion are nothing at all,” Leng Po Gong's eyes shot out a chilling light as he snarled, “No matter the cost!”
“What do you plan to do?” Yan Wu Ji and the others looked over.
“Wait. Wait until that Qin Chen leaves the palace. At that time, I will personally take action and kill that brat,” Leng Po Gong said coldly.
Everyone was shocked. Directly taking action in the imperial city was preparing to tear apart relations with the Liu family.
With a frown, Wu Cheng Feng said in a deep voice, “If you do this, it’s equivalent to completely tearing apart relations with the dynasty. By then, that old Liu Tai will probably not let us off lightly.”
“So we need to rely on you all,” Leng Po Gong looked at them. “If our four major forces unite, and a few of you take a stand, then Liu Tai, no matter how high his cultivation is, cannot possibly be our four opponents, right?”
“This…”
A few people's expressions darkened. If that were the case, there would be no turning back with the royal family.
“Do you still want to stay out of this?” Leng Po Gong sneered. “You should have received the news as well. Zhuo Qing Feng, Ye Lyu Hong Tao, and Nan Gong Li have been running to the palace frequently lately. The Liu family and they are united, and it’s just a matter of time before they come after us. Instead of waiting for the enemy to strike, it’s better for us to strike first.”
“Relying on just a few of us can hold back Liu Tai, but dealing with the entire Liu family is still somewhat challenging. After all, the Liu family has been operating in the Great Wei Dynasty for so many years,” Wu Cheng Feng was still somewhat hesitant.
“Hehe, relying solely on our four major forces is naturally not enough; we can bring in outside help,” Leng Po Gong suddenly smiled mysteriously.
“Outside help?”
Everyone looked on with focus.
“I have secretly contacted the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty is our sworn enemy in the Great Wei Dynasty, and they have long wanted to take military action against us, but have always lacked the opportunity. If we kill that brat while the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly attacks the borders of the Great Wei, what do you think? Will the royal family still have the thought of coming after us?”
Leng Po Gong smiled coldly.
“Join forces with the Great Zhou?”
Everyone was shocked. The Great Zhou Dynasty is the sworn enemy of the Great Wei Dynasty; the two sides have been entangled at the borders for a thousand years, both wanting to swallow the other but being unable to do so.
Over the years, the casualties at the borders between the two dynasties have exceeded millions, and the hatred runs deep.
If they truly reach an agreement with the Great Zhou Dynasty in secret, they would be seen as traitors in the eyes of countless citizens of the Great Wei Dynasty.
“Do you really still want to remain foolishly loyal to the Great Wei Dynasty?” Leng Po Gong said coldly. “Over the years, that old Liu Tai has been eager to break through to the mid-seventh level, eliminate our forces, and establish a unified Great Wei Dynasty. Once he breaks through, what will you face? I believe I don’t need to say more; you all should know.”
The crowd fell silent, their eyes revealing a cold glint.
“Alright, we’ll do it. However, negotiating with the Great Zhou requires our four major forces to act together, not just one force fully representing us,” Yan Wu Ji said solemnly.
“Rest assured, Lord Wu Ji. The Great Zhou Dynasty only wants us to cooperate internally and externally to create chaos within the Great Wei Dynasty, giving them the chance to take advantage. Even if we agree to them, what’s the harm? You have all seen the three types of pills from the Chen Di Pavilion; their effects and profits are unmatched by any dynasty. Once we firmly grasp the Chen Di Pavilion, that will be enough.”
