These 80% of the resources clearly are no small amount even for the Wang family.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other four families elders immediately beamed with smiles.

After all, the rewards from the convention were substantial, and each family could send their younger generation to participate. Yet, the Wang family bore the brunt of the rewards, which was a bargain for the other families.

“Of course, I have one condition!”

“You four families must sign an agreement with my Wang family. In the matter of Zhao Yu and Li Tian Ba, you must not get involved or secretly conspire with Zhao Yu against Li Tian Ba…” The Wang family elder carried out his request.

The four families exchanged glances and, after some bargaining, finally agreed.

However, the original list of resources proposed was supplemented again by the Wang family.

The meeting concluded, and as the various family members dispersed, the back of the Wang Elder was soaking with sweat.

“Elder, haven’t we given too much this time?!” A family member was reluctant, feeling that the Wang family had given too many resources.

“What do you understand?!!”

Elder Wang glanced at him and shook his head, “This matter arose suddenly, and there is definitely someone behind the scenes stirring things up…”

“Think about it, the affairs of Zhao Yu’s two women were basically only known to those from the lower realms…”

“And the only one who could have leaked this information is Yu Tie Jun…”

“Yu Tie Jun is from the Li family…”

“Are you saying that the Li family is causing trouble behind the scenes, deliberately leaking the information to Li Tian Ba?!”

“According to the explanation given by the Li family, it was their old followers, who were once subordinates of Li Tian Ba, who accidentally discovered Hao Yu Wei and informed Li Tian Ba, right?!”

“Heh, how could it be such a coincidence?!”

“Those old citizens are either out hunting or living peacefully in the city, how could they be running around?!”

“I have send out someone to investigate the person who informed Li Tian Ba, and found out he has married thirteen women from the Li family, with ten of them pregnant, and is living a life of bliss…”

“What reason does he have to go out and inform Li Tian Ba of this matter?!”

“If no one instigated him or offered him certain benefits, how could he have done it?!”

At this moment, someone came in and whispered something into the Elder Wang’s ear.

The rest of the family elders couldn’t help but waited for Elder Wang next instruction and noticed his expression had turned grim.

After a moment of silence, Elder Wang spoke, “I’ve received information that the guy who informed Li Tian Ba was attacked and killed by an aerial beast while strolling on the city walls with his concubine…”

“What?!”

“That’s too much of a coincidence, isn’t it?!”

“Coincidence?!” Everyone was astonished.

“It’s clearly a case of silencing a witness, a handiwork of the Li family!”

“Damn, the Li family dares to plot against us?!”

“Why didn’t you expose this matter in front of the other families just now?!”

A family elder was furious.

“Heh!”

“Do you think, even if the other four families knew, what could they do?!” Elder Wang coldly smiled.

“Our Wang family is the number one family in Blackstone Town. As long as our Wang family doesn’t fall, they have no chance to rise to power…”

“They would love to see our Wang family suffer misfortune. In fact, I suspect that behind this, it’s not just the Li family pulling the strings; the other three families are tacitly involved as well…”

“Otherwise, how could we have received no information beforehand and only found out after the fact?!”

To be able to bypass their Wang family’s intelligence system, it had to be a combined effort of the four families.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that those who left and returned did so freely, and they only got the news after Hao Yu Wei and Yang Hui Yan were dead?

“This…”

The rest of the family elders sighed deeply, realizing that the opposition was using an open conspiracy against them.

There was nothing they could openly say about it; otherwise, breaking the unspoken agreement might really lead to the four major families besieging the Wang family.

This was something they didn’t want to see.

After all, while they were strong, fighting against two families was already their limit. Against three, or even all, the Wang family would be doomed.

“Damn it, we’ve had so many marriages with the Li family, and they still plot against us…”

“Don’t be naive. Those marriages were only for the needs of the time. Now, twenty years past, who still cares about them?!”

Elder Wang nodded, “Otherwise, why do you think I offered so many resources to get those four families to sign the agreement?!”

“Are you saying they would really help Zhao Yu secretly to kill Li Tian Ba?!”

A elder was shocked and angry.

“If Li Tian Ba dies, what does it have to do with the other four families?!”

“If there is trouble from Moon City, they will definitely target our Wang family. If we can’t handle even this kind of matter, the higher-ups in Holy City will surely replace our family…”

The Wang Family had long seen this clearly. After his explanation, the rest of the elders finally could not deny it any longer as the four families were declaring war against them now.

Those who could become family elders often prioritized strength above all.

As they dedicated themselves to cultivation couldn’t possibly outmatch these scheming fellows. No wonder Elder Wang carry so much of these things on his shoulder.

“Our Wang family is truly fortunate to have you as our leader!”

Someone couldn’t help but sigh.

As the old citizens returned from hunting, Blackstone Town once again became lively.

“Hey, what’s this Immortal Medicine Convention all about?!”

“No idea, it’s the first time I’ve heard of it too…”

“It’s said that Blackstone Town is hosting it for the first time…”

“I’ve heard stories from porters who once traded in Moon City. They had seen the Immortal Medicine Convention over there….”
