15: destruction

Their faces also changed drastically.

They looked at the person leading them, each one as if they had seen a ghost.

“It’s Wang Dong? That old man is still alive.”

“Didn’t they always say he was dead? Now that he’s appeared here again, it seems our plan…”

Someone sensed something.

He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

But soon, his tone quieted down.

Saying these things now would undoubtedly be a huge blow to their morale.

But even if they didn't say it, couldn't they still realize this fact?

It’s over, completely over.

For a time, the entire Zhou Family was plunged into an atmosphere of sadness.

However, they quickly rallied again.

Worst case, a fight.

Although the overall strength of the Zhou Family was slightly weaker than the Wang Family.

But it wouldn't be a one-sided massacre leading to their extermination.

And Zhou Taixu also reacted at this moment.

He immediately burst into laughter, stood up, and flew into the air.

“I didn’t expect it to be Brother Wang Dong; it’s been a long time, and your demeanor remains the same!”

Zhou Taixu chuckled, but his heart was already extremely tense.

He could only try his best to act as if nothing was wrong, hoping to stabilize Wang Dong.

“Oh? Are you sure my demeanor remains the same? Or am I someone who should be dead?”

Wang Dong smiled faintly.

His gaze swept over the group of Zhou Family Elders who were standing by in strict formation.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

Sure enough, what he thought was correct.

This annulment of the engagement was just a prelude.

It was these Zhou Family members who had developed greed for the Wang Family.

They tried to use the Qingxuan Sect to completely devour the entire Wang Family.

However, they missed one point this time.

If he hadn't broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm, or hadn't come out of seclusion, everything might have actually allowed them to succeed.

“Clan Leader Wang, what kind of joke is that? Our two families are allies, advancing and retreating together, and the younger generation even shares a good marriage. How could we not wish for you to continue living?”

Zhou Taixu’s expression was serious, as if these words came from his heart.

But Wang Dong laughed heartily.

“Well said, but I don’t want to be allies with you now.”

“I came today, first, to settle the old score of the annulled engagement, and second, to reclaim what my Wang Family has given over the years.”

Zhou Taixu’s face instantly stiffened.

He began to understand that Wang Dong’s visit this time was not benevolent.

Immediately, his heart sank to the bottom.

“Brother Wang, why be so aggressive? I merely wanted to see Brother Wang, so I used some methods, that’s all.”

“Oh? Then it seems I misunderstood Brother Zhou. I have a third option here; I wonder if you are willing to agree.”

Wang Dong narrowed his eyes and smiled.

He merely found the other party’s behavior somewhat ridiculous.

But he couldn't help but feel a hint of amusement in his heart.

Zhou Taixu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He immediately said in a deep voice.

“Brother Wang, please speak your mind. Whatever the condition, my Zhou Family will surely agree.”

“Just for so many years of strong assistance, my Zhou Family will not refuse in the slightest.”

“Heh heh! So you still remember that my Wang Family strongly assisted you, but you annulled the engagement, and now you’ve gathered a large group of Elders. What are you trying to do?”

“Wow, it’s really hard to guess!”

Wang Dong sneered disdainfully, then suddenly erupted in thunderous anger.

“Do you think I have no brains?”

“I came today to annihilate the Zhou Family.”

As soon as his words fell.

The atmosphere immediately became completely tense.

All the people of the Zhou Family looked terrified, staring at Wang Dong, who exuded dominance above them. Although they didn't know what confidence he had.

But to make their Clan Chief, who had always been confident, show such a fearful expression now.

It was clear that things were not as simple as they thought.

“Are all the Clan Chiefs of the Wang Family such arrogant people?”

Just then.

Among the people of the Zhou Family, a thin, withered old man walked out.

As soon as he appeared, the Qi on his body surged greatly.

He was precisely the last surviving Old Ancestor of the Zhou Family.

At this moment, he had clearly reached the Half-step Purple Mansion Realm.

With his appearance, the people of the Zhou Family felt even more confident.

“Annihilate the Zhou Family? You need to have the ability to do that.”

A Zhou Family Elder couldn't help but say.

His expression was full of arrogance.

However, what he didn't expect was.

The next moment, Wang Dong attacked.

A Grand Five Elements Fist was thrown out.

The next moment, the Zhou Family Ancestor, whom everyone regarded as a peerless expert, was directly sent flying.

He vomited blood frantically.

This scene immediately frightened everyone to their core.

They never expected that their Old Ancestor would lose so quickly.

Before this, they had never even considered that their Old Ancestor would lose.

Wang Dong had been afflicted with a strange poison for so many years.

How could he still possess such cultivation and ability?

Immediately, everyone looked at each other, their expressions horrified and bewildered.

And Zhou Taixu’s pupils constricted even more.

So that’s how it was.

He understood, he understood everything.

This hidden Purple Mansion expert was actually Wang Dong.

Only a Purple Mansion Realm expert could so astonishingly defeat his Old Ancestor with one blow.

He hadn’t expected that during these fifteen years, while in seclusion, he had actually broken into the Purple Mansion Realm.

Zhou Taixu couldn't help but show a bitter smile in his heart.

His calculations were flawless.

His greed was also flawless.

But the calculations didn't succeed; that was a matter of fate.

Wang Dong had actually broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm.

The entire situation was shattered.

He had even lost the will to resist.

However, there were still so many Zhou Family members present.

He had to try his best to maneuver.

He was the Clan Chief!

The Zhou Family Ancestor looked at Wang Dong in mid-air at this moment, and couldn't help but feel some shock in his eyes.

These Zhou Family Elders didn't understand what this meant; how could he not recognize it?

This was a Purple Mansion Realm expert!

But he had been in seclusion for so many years, even reaching Core Formation Perfection long ago.

But why wouldn't heaven allow him to break into Purple Mansion?

Could it be that this Wang Dong had obtained some Opportunity?

The Zhou Family Ancestor couldn't help but feel a bitter smile in his heart.

Even if he knew, what could he do?

He, a Half-step Purple Mansion Realm expert, might usually be able to act arrogantly in Wutan City.

But in front of a true Purple Mansion expert, he was merely a slightly larger ant.

“Brother Wang! Please don’t be so quick to act. What is it that we can’t sit down and talk about properly?”

“Our two families are in-laws, and the younger generation is even mutually fond of each other. The Alliance has not broken; why resort to such drastic measures?”

Zhou Taixu abandoned all hope, but a gentle expression appeared on his face.

If he could persuade the other party to retreat, there would still be a conclusion today.

Even if he couldn't persuade him, he had to try his best to maneuver and negotiate with Wang Dong for a few slots to save the Zhou Family members.
