Chapter 232: Plan To Solve The Southern Continent's Problens

Back in the Middle Continent.

Xu Family Subspace, Family Head's Office.

Xu Qianghua had returned to the Xu family subspace after ensuring everything at the Empyrean Harmony Sect was running smoothly.

However, his return was not for relaxation but to deal with an issue that is one of the reasons that led to a full-blown war between the humans and the Monster race.

Sitting in his spacious office, surrounded by shelves of books and a large desk filled with reports, he let out a deep breath.

The problem of the poachers has gone long enough, and now it is time to take action.

He couldn't let the Southern Continent, home to the Monster Race, fall into chaos, which would lead to more humans coming in.

The poachers were causing trouble by kidnapping younglings from the Monster Race to sell them as exotic pets or bodyguards to the rich in the Western Continent.

The peaceful existence of the Monster Race was under threat, and Xu Qianghua had no intention of allowing that to continue.

He tapped his finger on the arm of his chair, thinking about the best way to handle this situation.

It couldn't just be a simple solution; it required careful planning and coordinated efforts.

He needed to protect the Southern Continent, but he could not just send his main force; that would be overkill and disrupt his plans for the future.

But he cannot just stay silent. He needs to show the world that if the Xu family wants to do something, no one can stop it, and the case with the Monster race is a good way to do so.

So, deciding it was time to get others involved, Xu Qianghua sent a spiritual message to call Yan Yuehua, Li Xinyue, and several of the top elders to his office.

These people have information about the real-time situation in the Southern Continent, which is a key factor in devising a good plan.

It could escalate into a larger conflict if we're not careful."

And that is what happened as the younger generation were kidnapped while the older ones were killed and used as materials for weapons and armors which were later used in the Southern Continent.

Li Xinyue nodded in agreement. "We must act decisively but also with a complete plan. If we rush into this without a plan, we risk the Monster race attacking us as we are also humans."

Xu Qianghua leaned against his desk, crossing his arms as he spoke. "That's why I've called you all here.

We need to come up with a multi-stage plan that ensures the safety of the Monster Race and puts an end to these poachers.

I want the Southern Continent to return to its peaceful state, but we need to send a clear message that the Xu family will not tolerate this kind of behavior."

One of the elders spoke up. "What do you suggest, Family Head? Should we send troops to eliminate the poachers?"

Xu Qianghua nodded slowly but added, "Yes, but not just soldiers. We need a plan that covers all aspects of this problem.

We need to deal with the poachers, protect the Monster Race, and ensure this doesn't happen again in the future."

Yan Yuehua, always quick to think of practical solutions, stepped forward. "We should start by posting a mission for adventurers.

Many bounty hunters and adventurers are looking for work. If we put a bounty on these poachers, it will attract attention, and they'll have to deal with a whole range of people hunting them down before they even reach the Southern Continent.

And in turn, they will receive rewards, which will make it a good way to curb the greed of the low-level poachers."

Li Xinyue smiled at the idea. "That's a good start. It'll keep the poachers busy and give us some breathing room to implement the next stages of our plan."

Xu Qianghua looked around the room and saw the approval in everyone's eyes. "Alright, that will be the first stage. We'll post an adventurer mission with a significant reward to hunt down any poachers targeting the Southern Continent."

Another elder stroked his beard thoughtfully. "We'll need to back that up with more force. We can't rely on adventurers alone."
