Chapter 389: Civil Strife

Seeing Zong Zhengming's expression, Zong Tianlin couldn't help but sigh lightly at him, and then replied in a tangled tone: "What you said is just a possibility, let's wait and see where we can go after the establishment of the Mohai Alliance." If the development of the alliance is really as smooth as you say, it will not be too late for us to join again!"

But Zong Tianlin didn't expect Zong Zhengming's position to be firmer than he imagined, and after hearing Zong Tianlin's answer, Zong Zhengming once again bowed his hand to Zong Tianlin and suggested: "Father, if the Mohai Alliance really rises strongly, it may not be our Evil Sun Ancient City family who wants to join them. At that time, the importance of our Evil Sun Ancient City to the Desert Sea Alliance will be greatly reduced, and naturally we will not be able to enjoy the dividends of the alliance's rapid growth period. The icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow, I don't think my father will not understand this truth. ”

Zong Zhengming's character has always been like this, once he decides on something, he has to act immediately.

After listening to what he had just said so much, even Xiao Ying next to Zong Tianlin was persuaded by Zong Zhengming and began to support Zong Zhengming's decision to join the Mohai Alliance immediately.

But Zong Tianlin still shook his head, and replied to his son Zong Zhengming with some emotion: "Zhengming, what you just said is right. If it weren't for the news I suddenly received from Mohai Ancient City today, maybe I would have promised you directly. ”

Zong Zhengming raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked Zong Tianlin in a somewhat puzzled tone: "Father, has something happened to the Mohai Ancient City?"

Zong Tianlin didn't hide it, and directly told the other party what happened in the Mohai Ancient City: "Since the news of the imminent formation of the Mohai Alliance spread, rumors that Ye Ye had the intention to compete for the position of alliance leader began to circulate, and now it has seriously affected the internal unity of the Mohai Ancient City. It's still unknown whether their Desert Sea Alliance can really be formed!"

Zong Tianlin let out a long sigh, as if he was also surprised by the changes that had happened in the Mohai Ancient City.

Zong Zhengming's expression was solemn after hearing his words, but according to his understanding of Ye Ye, Zong Zhengming believed that Ye Ye was not a person who was greedy for power, so he immediately said to Zong Tianlin with certainty: "Rumors stop at the wise! I believe that the Shangguan City Lord will not be easily confused by rumors and thus have doubts about Ye Ye!"

"Of course I know that Shangguan Zhong is not a mediocre person, but as a superior, sometimes even if he believes in Ye Ye, he can't ignore the worries of other subordinates based on his instincts alone. This matter is the first test of the Mohai Alliance, let's wait and see what happens for the time being!"

A hint of contemplation flashed in Zong Tianlin's eyes, and then he resolutely announced the result of this discussion to Zong Zhengming.

Zong Zhengming finally didn't argue anymore, and after a moment of silence, he also sighed, and couldn't help but start worrying about Ye Ye in his heart.

Not only did the Evil Sun Ancient City receive the news of the civil strife in the Desert Sea Alliance, but almost all the city lords of the ancient cities in the Linhai area had already learned that the Desert Sea Alliance was in chaos. Some of them gloated, some of them waited for an opportunity, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to completely dismantle their biggest rival in the coastal area.

However, the three ancient cities to which the Mohai Alliance belonged were the places that were most affected by the rumors, although most of Shangguan Zhong's old troops were inclined to suppress Ye Ye, but many powerhouses distributed in Longjiang Ancient City and Liuyue Ancient City had already begun to build momentum for Ye Ye's rise. Some forces that were unwilling to surrender to Shangguan Zhong and Ye Ye even wanted to take this opportunity to directly become independent, so that Longjiang Ancient City or Liuyue Ancient City would completely break away from the control of Mohai Ancient City.

The three ancient cities, which were originally thriving, were now shrouded in a haze at the same time. If this matter cannot be resolved quickly, I am afraid that the consequences will be far beyond the imagination of Shangguan Zhong and others.

In the Dongcheng District of Mohai Ancient City, the gate of the Liu family, a medium-sized family, was surrounded by a group of masters at this time.

All the children of the Liu family confronted the enemy who surrounded the Liu family under the leadership of the head of the family, Liu Heng, and almost all the children of the Liu family were resolute and resolutely did not let the enemy step into their Liu family.

And the enemy who surrounded the Liu family also came from the ancient city of Mohai, and he was still the opponent of the Sheng family, which the Liu family was extremely familiar with. Because the Liu family and the Sheng family are also in the weapons business, it is inevitable that there will be some friction in ordinary times. In addition, the two families have different attitudes towards this rumor, so the conflict is even more intense.

But Liu Heng, the head of the Liu family, never expected that Sheng Yinan, the head of the Sheng family, would suddenly surround the gate of the Liu family with the masters of the Sheng family, and put on a posture of wanting to start an all-out war with the Liu family.

Liu Heng's heart was full of annoyance, and the eyes that looked at Sheng Yinan opposite were naturally extremely cold. After leading the children of the family to keep the enemy out, Liu Heng asked Sheng Yinan in an unkind tone: "Sheng Yinan, are you crazy? If the city lord knows that you provoked a war between the two families for no reason, the consequences are definitely not something you can afford!"

However, Sheng Yinan, the head of the Sheng family, didn't seem to be afraid of Liu Heng's threat at all, he directly scoffed at Liu Heng's warning after hearing it, and then replied to Liu Heng with a proud face: "When our Sheng family helped the city lord ascend to the position of the city lord, your Liu family didn't know where else to make a living? What qualifications do you have to mention the city lord in front of me? What's more, your Liu family intends to support Ye Ye's rebellion, and it is a righteous move for us to eradicate you in advance." When the city lord finds out, he will only praise us, and he will never blame our Sheng family!"

The children of the Sheng family all nodded after hearing Sheng Yinan's words, obviously thinking that the city lord Shangguan Zhong was on their side like Sheng Yinan. Otherwise, even if they were given a hundred guts, their Sheng family would not dare to provoke a war between the two families for no reason, and planned to directly annex their Liu family's property.

When Shangguan Zhong was still young, the ancestor of their Sheng family was a general under Shangguan Zhong, and played a big role in Shangguan Zhong's takeover of Mohai Ancient City. Later, although the ancestor died, their Sheng family never gave birth to a character who could make Shangguan Zhong look at it, but the Sheng family jumped from a small family to a medium family, and had a lot of influence in the entire Mohai Ancient City.

The Sheng family has always regarded their relationship with the City Lord's Mansion as their greatest wealth, and they look down on a family like the Liu family without any background. There had been a lot of conflicts between the Sheng family and the Liu family because of business before, after Sheng Yinan learned that the Liu family was a loyal supporter of Ye Ye, he suddenly felt that he had grabbed the handle of the other party, and arrogantly took the family master to directly block the door of the Liu family, planning to let their Liu family completely disappear from the Mohai Ancient City today.

Because among the three ancient cities under the rule of Mohai Ancient City, the crowd of people who listened to rumors and supported Ye Ye's competition with Shangguan Zhong had gradually expanded, and many conflicts broke out with forces like the Sheng family. Led by Zhang Tianyu of Liuyue Ancient City, the crowd of the three ancient cities that supported Ye Ye to become the leader of the alliance has gradually formed a powerful force, making forces like the Sheng family feel a strong threat.

In the eyes of Sheng Yinan and the rest of the Sheng family, although the Liu family is still relatively restrained, sooner or later they will be in the same league as Zhang Tianyu and others. In order to strangle the threat in the cradle, and in order to directly annex their Liu family's property, Sheng Yinan gritted his teeth and directly made the decision to start a war with the Liu family, and the two sides tried their best to fight as if it was about to break out.

However, although the Liu family is Ye Ye's loyal supporters, it does not mean that they support Ye Ye in competing for the position of leader in the upcoming Mohai Alliance. On the contrary, the Liu family believed in Ye Ye's character very much, and knew that he would never turn his face with Shangguan Zhong because of his own selfishness, so he never accepted the olive branch that Zhang Tianyu and others secretly stretched out, and still did what he had to do in the ancient city of Mohai.

This time, the Sheng family took advantage of the fact that half of the masters of the Liu family went to other ancient cities to purchase goods to start a war against their Liu family, which not only made Liu Heng feel angry, but also made him faintly feel that a storm was about to sweep the entire Mohai Ancient City.

Fortunately, the undercover agents sent by the Liu family to the Sheng family noticed something wrong in advance, and they had already sent a message to the Liu family last night to remind them to be careful. And Liu Heng, who was cautious by nature, did not take it lightly, and the next moment he received the reminder, he asked people to urgently go out of the city and invite all the masters of the Liu family back.

Although they are now at a disadvantage in numbers, as long as they persist until the masters of the Liu family rush back in time, the Sheng family may not be able to eat their Liu family today!

Therefore, Liu Heng cheered up the children of the Liu family, and at the same time warned Sheng Yinan again: "If your Sheng family really wins the trust of the city lord, how can you not even enter the city lord's mansion to serve as a descendant? I tell you, our Liu family's clansmen who went out to purchase will return immediately, if you are ready to die together, you can directly start a war with us, and our Liu family will accompany you to the end!"

Liu Heng's fearless attitude suddenly made Sheng Yinan feel a trace of scruples in his heart, but he didn't believe that the Liu family's masters who went out to purchase would be able to rush back in time, so after struggling for a while, he really shouted to the Sheng family disciples around him: "This is what you said! All the Sheng family disciples listened to my order, and immediately exterminated all the Liu family members, and did not give any place for the traitors in Mohai Ancient City!"

"Yes!"

"Kill!"

"Destroy their Liu family!"

"Destroy all traitors!"

Under Sheng Yinan's order, the children of the Sheng family immediately rushed towards the Liu family, and all kinds of martial arts and weapons were about to fall directly on the Liu family.

Liu Heng, the head of the Liu family, didn't expect Sheng Yinan to be really bold and reckless to such a point, but the matter has come to this point, and their Liu family has no way to retreat. Even if all the clansmen who remained in the Liu family today would be wiped out by the Sheng family, Liu Heng would not lead the Liu family to surrender to the Sheng family, so he just shouted at the Liu family disciples and ordered them to do it, and then took the lead in attacking the Sheng family masters.

"Fight with them!"

"It's just too deceitful!"

"Their Sheng family has been planning for a long time, and today they are just looking for an excuse!"

"Despicable and shameless, the Liu family will never surrender!"

All the children of the Liu family were inspired by the bloody nature of the family master, even if they knew that they might all die under the siege of the Sheng family's masters today, they were still afraid of death and attacked the Sheng family.
