longsword that shimmered with an arcane golden glow.At this moment, they stared straight at Fang Yu, their expressions cold and their eyes filled with murderous intent.The man at the front had a thick...For two consecutive days, the name "Fang Yu" became the most frequently mentioned name in the Beidu martial arts world.

All major families and sects have been evaluating Fang Yu's strength, but ultimately they were unable to reach a conclusion.

Based on what the informants have relayed... it seems a bit exaggerated.

Defeating a Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Wang family with a single punch... It just doesn't seem possible.

If this Fang Yu truly possessed such immense power, why was he previously unknown

After two days of heated discussion, most people chose to believe the initial conspiracy theory.

That morning, Wang Zhisan and Wang Hatian had seen a person who was not the real Fang Yu, but Huixi's disguise.

This is how one can explain this person's extraordinary power.

But no matter how hot the Beidū martial arts world is, the Wang family, as one of the protagonists of the event, remains silent.

For two whole days, the Wang family remained completely silent and inactive, an eerie stillness permeating their home.

"The Wang family has been silenced!"

Many people gloated and cheered secretly.

For the Beidu martial arts world, the Wang family's reign as the sole dominant force had lasted for far too long.

During this period, the Wang family was paramount, and anyone who saw them had to bow their heads and show deference.

But now, some dare to strike at the Wang family, so much so that the Wang family doesn't dare to make a sound...

It feels great to see the Wang family fail.

Of course, no one really believes the Wang family will just let this go.

This is the Wang family!

Still at its peak! The Wang family is still on top!

A short silence is most likely brewing a bigger storm.

What the future holds remains to be seen.

……

Wanhesanghang Estate, in the center, the largest building on the first floor of the main hall.

Twenty-five branch heads, each sat on either side of the hall.

And at the front of the hall, seated in the chief position, was the current Lord of the House, Wang Xinghe.

There were only twenty-six heads of households in the hall, no one else was qualified to attend this meeting.

"It took me two days just to get everyone together for this meeting," Wang Xinghe said, his face grim.

Today's Wang family has particularly poor discipline.

As the head honcho, he called a meeting, but these heads of households had all sorts of excuses to delay... It took a whole two days for everyone to finally show up.

Such efficiency, if placed in those large corporations or groups in the secular world, would be unimaginable.

“Two days have passed, and due to everyone's busy schedules, we missed the best time to handle this incident. Over the past two days, public opinion in Beidu's martial arts world has continued to ferment, with all sorts of unfavorable remarks about the Wang family popping up endlessly.” Wang Xinghe said in a deep voice, “Now, I want to ask everyone, how should we handle this”

The various household heads remained silent, instead turning their heads in unison to look at Wang Hutian and Wang Zishan.

Their eyes held different expressions, but the meaning was clear.

The disaster was caused by these two people, so naturally they should take responsibility.

Wang Xinghe also looked at Wang Hetian and Wang Zishan, frowning: "Zishan, Hetian. Things shouldn't have developed to such a point. You should have sought help from the family earlier."

Wang Xinghe, Wang Hetian, and Wang Zishan are cousins who grew up together and have a very close relationship.

Therefore, Wang Xinghe found it difficult to be harsher towards the two of them.

"Master Fang, we never expected…" Thinking of Fang Yu, Wang Zhisan's face was still pale, his heart trembling with fear.

"Everyone is busy, there's no need to rehash how strong Fang Yu or Huai Xu were. Let's just focus on eliminating the impact," said a white-haired, sharp-eyed middle-aged man on the other side.

This person's name is Wang Mingtong. Among the twenty-six family heads, he is the oldest in terms of seniority.

At the same time, he is also the one among the current generation of heads who has the greatest chance of reaching the peak of honor.

In the eyes of many homeowners, his words carry more weight than those of the current headmaster, Wang Xinghe!

As soon as Wang Mingtong spoke, everyone turned to look at him.

"Two solutions. One, counterattack. Gather more power and dismantle the Beiducheng Martial Arts Association. Two, cool down. Do nothing and wait for this time to pass." Wang Ming spoke impassively.

All the present household heads looked at each other in bewilderment.

In their view, the second solution was hardly worth considering.

Just let this go

To endure such injustice in silence, how could this possibly be something the Wang family would do!

Wang Wenshan, the core member of the Wang family, is dead! Wang Xiaofeng, the pride of the Wang family, was severely injured!

Such a thing, placed in any family, would result in endless retaliation!

Their Wang family, could never possibly tolerate this!

If we did this, perhaps with the passage of time, things would cool down. But how would the martial arts world of Beidu view the Wang family after that

What are they trying to do behind the scenes, ridicule the Wang family into oblivion!

I agree with the first option.

"I agree with striking back!"

"Of course, we must retaliate! How could we ever concede to this!"

As soon as Wang Mingtong finished speaking, there were quite a few excited voices.

Wang Xinghe heard the second solution and frowned, looking at Wang Mingtong.

Including him, many people present felt quite puzzled.

Wang Mingtong's opportunity to climb Mount Honor was due entirely to his iron fist. During the period of "everyone as director," he secured immense benefits for the Wang family and earned numerous accolades.

Given his personality and modus operandi, how could he possibly have come up with such a solution

"Ming Tong, elder brother, how do you consider this matter" Wang Xinghe asked.

Wang Mingtong placed his hands on his thighs and sat upright, replying: "Things in the north haven't been peaceful recently. I personally believe that cooling this incident down is the most appropriate course of action."

"Since the opponent was able to consecutively kill Wenshan, severely injure Xiaofeng, and easily cripple the twelve elite Divine Realm warriors brought by He Tian and Zhi Shan... This kind of strength is beyond what normal means can cope with."

"We need to fight back. This matter will only be resolved when one side is defeated. Of course, compared to the Martial Arts Association, we may have a deeper foundation. But it will still cost us dearly..."

At this point, Wang Mingtong glanced at all the family heads present and said: "You guys, are you willing to reduce your respective branch strengths by 20% in order to deal with this matter, and have the entire Wang Family's strength reduced by more than 30%"

At these words, the faces of all present changed.

The strength of each branch was reduced by 20%, and the overall strength of the Wang family was reduced by 30%.

Just hearing this number sends shivers down your spine.

"It's just a hollow ambition. Can he really make our Wang family expend so much power" questioned the head of the family.

They... can definitely do it, maybe... even more than just this reduction.

At this time, Wang ZhiShan spoke in a trembling voice.

"There are rumors circulating that the person that day was Hui Xu, not the real Fang Yu... But I can tell you, the man that day, was Fang Yu!" Wang Hetian chimed in, his face pale with alarm. "One Fang Yu could easily defeat so many Shenjing cultivators, plus the renowned Hui Xu... You all think about it, to eliminate such two people, how much would our Wang family have to pay"

In fact, Wang Hatian and Wang Zishan's inner thoughts were... If the Wang family really wanted to find Fang Yu trouble again, it wouldn't just be a matter of consuming some strength...

The entire Wang family could possibly collapse because of this!

But they couldn't possibly say those words in front of so many heads of households. Saying them... would only make the other heads of households unhappy, and even lead them to believe that the two of them were out of their minds.

After hearing what Wang Mingtong, Wang Zishan, and Wang Hatian had to say, the heads of families who were originally determined to seek revenge fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons.

"I'll add something else. The Trials Tournament and the Martial Arts Tournament are about to be held... Although officially, the location of the Trials Tournament hasn't been decided yet, I heard... those martial arts sects are all preparing to send their disciples to the ancient ruins that are about to open, for trials." Wang Mingtong added.

"An ancient relic Ming Tong, elder brother, you mean... the message that Sky-Gazing Bureau released before" Wang Xinghe frowned slightly, asked.

"Well, I've received some intelligence... That young man named Long Sha... After entering the ancient ruins, he received some kind of inheritance and thus rose to the top of the Heavenly Rankings." Wang Mingtong said with narrowed eyes.st act quickly!"The twenty-four of you go together, and with the fastest speed possible, slaughter all the cultivators here. The girl must be captured alive, and also bring back the armor on that boy'...
