599: Isn't the timing of Chapter 599 a bit too coincidental?

At this moment, the Old Ancestors of the other families also chimed in one after another:

"Old Ancestor of the Xu Family, you called us all the way here, your Xu Family better not be without any plan!"

"That's right! The situation in the Central Region has become so chaotic! If there isn't a good strategy to deal with it, our families will likely be in danger at any moment!"

...

Hearing this, the Xu Ze gripped his dragon-headed staff, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice:

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoists! Our Xu Family... dared to convene this discussion assembly because we have long had a plan!"

"So everyone, please head inside quickly! We will continue to discuss the specific details of the plan after the people from all the major families have arrived and the discussion assembly begins!"

Immediately after, he looked at the members of the Xu Family behind him and ordered: "Go, entertain the Old Ancestors of the major families well!"

"Understood! Old Ancestor!"

The members of the Xu Family nodded respectfully, then scattered and approached the Old Ancestors of the various families to lead the way for them.

"Good, then we will listen to Brother Xu!"

"This kind of matter needs to be discussed once everyone has arrived, and it should be deliberated upon at length!"

...

The Old Ancestors of the various families agreed.

Led by the members of the Xu Family, they entered the Ancestral Land of the Xu Family in an orderly fashion.

A moment later, as the Cultivators from the various families who had come for the appointment all entered the Ancestral Land of the Xu Family, the area outside the Ancestral Land of the Xu Family became quiet again.

Seeing this, the Xu Ze waved his hand and summoned the Xu Family steward who was in charge of recording on the side.

"Have all the families I asked you to invite arrived yet?"

The Xu Family steward hurriedly checked the Jade Slip of records in his hand, verified the guest list, and then said respectfully:

"Reporting to the Old Ancestor, only the Xie Family is missing; all other families have arrived!"

"The Xie Family?" The Xu Ze's expression turned somewhat ugly, and he muttered: "They shouldn't be refusing our Xu Family's invitation!"

Could something have happened? Or did the Xie Family discover something?

It wouldn't be a problem if other second-rate families didn't come. After all, these second-rate families were only secondary targets!

But a first-rate Family like the Xie Family... Even if they are the lowest-ranked first-rate Family, they are of paramount importance! Not a single one can be missing!

At this moment, seeing his Old Ancestor's ugly expression, the Xu Family steward asked directly: "Old Ancestor, does the Xie Family not intend to come? What should we do then?"

"Hmph, what should we do?" A cold, sinister look flashed across the face of the Xu Ze. "Since they haven't come, then of course... Hmm? What is this? The Xie Family is here!"

"It seems they just arrived a bit late... The plan hasn't encountered any accidents! Then it's fine!"

Not long after, a rumbling sound indeed came from the distance, accompanied by a powerful fluctuation of spiritual power.

The Xie Family's spirit boat quickly flew from the distance and landed outside the main gate of the Ancestral Land of the Xu Family.

And the Xie Zhisong brought a few people and stepped directly off the spirit boat.

Seeing the Xie Zhisong and the others walking towards him, the Xu Ze's face flashed with a strange smile again, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Immediately, his face returned to a normal smile, and gripping his dragon-headed staff, he stepped forward a few paces and said enthusiastically:

"Your Excellency must be the Xie Family Ancestor? I have long admired your name; I am the Xu Ze, Xu Ze!"

"Hahaha, you are too polite, Fellow Daoist Xu. I am the Xie Zhisong, Xie Zhisong!"

Hearing this, the Xie Zhisong smiled and cupped his hands, while carefully sizing up the Xu Ze.

He looks very enthusiastic! But I always feel like something is strange somewhere?

And those members of the Xu Family around. At first glance, they also look very enthusiastic, but there is a faint hint of arrogance in their eyes.

Sure enough, the current Xu Family is not quite right!

If Holy Lord Su hadn't informed us in advance that the Xu Family's invitation was a trap, it would have been really hard to detect the problem!

It really is thanks to Holy Lord Su!

At this moment, the Xu Ze frowned, then instantly smoothed his brow, and said somewhat suspiciously:

"Fellow Daoist Xie, why are there so few people from your Xie Family?"

"Although I convened this assembly to discuss the situation in the Central Region, I have also prepared a banquet. All the major families have brought many juniors along, taking this Opportunity for the juniors to interact with each other! If Fellow Daoist Xie doesn't mind, it is still early, so you can call for more clansmen to come over."

According to the intelligence, the Xie Family should have many clan elders! But why have less than half come now?

This is not quite the same as what was in the plan! But never mind, it doesn't make much difference! Anyway, those clan elders of the Xie Family are only at the Enlightenment Realm and cannot affect the overall situation.

"Sorry, Brother Xu. The situation in the Central Region has been quite chaotic lately, and most of the juniors in our clan are basically in secluded cultivation, so they didn't have time to attend the banquet!"

The Xie Zhisong also smiled and answered casually.

Listen to that, what kind of talk is that! Too few people came? What? Should more have come to your Xu Family to die? Since it's already known to be a trap, of course it's impossible to bring the juniors over!

At this moment, while the two Old Ancestors were talking, Su Yun and Xie Yulan were standing silently behind the Xie Zhisong and the others.

The Xu Ze did not notice the two of them, only assuming they were two Xie Family juniors who had come with the Xie Zhisong.

"Sure enough, this Xu Ze has a big problem!"

Su Yun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and with a thought, he directly opened the life script of the Xu Ze.

...

[Name: Xu Ze] [Age: 8,322] [Realm: 9th Layer of the Undergoing Tribulation Realm] [Physique: Water Origin Physique] [Luck Rank: Blue] [Identity Background: Xu Ze, servant of the mysterious Mahayana Realm powerhouse Zhao Kuan.] [Role: supporting character] [Recent Turning Point: 1. More than half a month ago, Xu Ze met Zhao Kuan, a Mahayana Realm powerhouse from a mysterious force. Under the pressure of his formidable strength, he voluntarily led the entire Xu Family to submit and work for Zhao Kuan. 2. Today, Xu Ze invited Cultivators from various families to the Xu Family under the pretext of discussing the situation in the Central Region. But in reality, his true intention is to capture the Cultivators from the various families, so he has set up a trap formation in the clan. After he successfully traps the Cultivators from the various families, Zhao Kuan will arrive and successfully take control of dozens of families.] [Opportunity: None.]

...

"So that mysterious Mahayana Realm powerhouse is named Zhao Kuan!"

Su Yun carefully looked at Xu Ze's life script and fell into deep thought.

There wasn't much information! The only important content was the name of that mysterious Mahayana powerhouse, Zhao Kuan.

However, there is one more point worthy of special attention. Isn't the timing of Zhao Kuan seeking out the Xu Ze a bit too coincidental?

It was also more than half a month ago. Disciples and deacons of the Four Great Holy Lands were also attacked by mysterious Cultivators. These two events seem to have happened around the same period. If this is not a coincidence, then it is very likely...
