However, Xiao Ling and the others looked at each other after hearing this, and there was a trace of embarrassment in their expressions.

As the four most powerful families in Longjiang Ancient City, of course they hope that Longjiang Ancient City will get better and better, but not now. Because if the Longjiang Ancient City went to glory under Ye Ye's rule, it was very likely that the original rejection of the Mohai Alliance in the Longjiang Ancient City would disappear.

Even if the four major families of them would enjoy the benefits, once the Mohai Alliance won the hearts of the people of the Longjiang Ancient City, it was impossible for them to expel the forces of the Mohai Alliance from the Longjiang Ancient City. Therefore, Xiao Ling and the others were frowning and silent for a moment, and then replied directly to Ye Ye in embarrassment: "City Lord, I'm really sorry! I can't think of any way to promote the development of the ancient city of Longjiang, and I ask the city lord to forgive me!"

The heads of the four dignified families, when Ye Ye needed their advice, they collectively pretended to be stupid, and their perfunctory attitude can be said to be quite obvious. However, because Ye Ye had ordered them to arrest Zhu Longkong and the others just now, Xiao Ling and the others knew that Ye Ye still needed the strength of the four major families for the time being, so they were a little fearless, as if they were not afraid that Ye Ye would see their perfunctory attitude.

Seeing this, a cold light flashed in Ye Ye's eyes, but he had long expected that Xiao Ling and the others would not be able to fully cooperate with him, so he showed a smile in the blink of an eye, and said lightly to the four family masters in front of him: "It's okay! After all, people have times when their brains can't move! But I myself have an idea, I hope that the four family masters can actively cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion to realize it!"

"I'd like to hear about it!"

After Xiao Ling and Wang Yun heard this, they could only reply lightly to Ye Ye. Regardless of whether they would really actively carry out Ye Ye's orders, at least the four of them did not dare to refuse Ye Ye in person.

After the four of them responded, Ye Ye continued to tell them a plan he had already thought of: "I plan to hold a martial arts conference in the City Lord's Mansion Square in ten days, and all young monks under the age of forty can participate. If the monks who participated in the conference can achieve good results in the conference, I will personally provide some divine elixir as a reward. However, as the heads of the four major families of the ancient city of Longjiang, you naturally cannot stay out of the matter, and all the things of your four families must be properly arranged except for the rewards of the conference. If I find out that someone is cutting corners and slacking off, I will directly merge his family into the other three families, you can do it yourself!"

After Ye Ye solemnly instructed Xiao Ling and the others, he got up directly and left the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling and Wang Yun and the other four heads of the family all became extremely helpless, and they once again had a deep understanding of Ye Ye's methods.

"Obey the orders of the city lord, we will definitely make the martial arts conference hold smoothly!"

They hurriedly bowed in the direction Ye Ye had left, and then slowly walked out of the hall and left the City Lord's Mansion to return to their own family.

The reason why the four of them had a contemptuous attitude towards Ye Ye just now was that they felt that Ye Ye still needed the strength of their four major families, even if they were perfunctory, Ye Ye had no way to rectify them for the time being.

Because once the four major families executed Ye Ye's order to arrest Zhu Longkong and others, the news that Ye Ye still used the four major families to open the knife came out, it would definitely have a great impact on the other forces in the ancient city of Longjiang. The sentiment of Longjiang Ancient City's rebellion against the Mohai Alliance is bound to rise again, this is definitely not the result that Ye Ye is willing to see, so Xiao Ling and the others will have no fear, thinking that Ye Ye will not dare to do anything to them.

But what they didn't expect was that Ye Ye didn't plan to directly attack their four major families, but instead planned to merge the disobedient families into the other three families. In this way, the overall strength of the four major families did not decline, and the other forces in the ancient city of Longjiang did not say anything to Ye Ye. But the family that was split by Ye Ye will definitely end up bleak, and it is very likely that it will completely disappear from the ancient city of Longjiang.

Xiao Ling and the others did not want to be the family that was spun off, so they all tensed their nerves, and they no longer dared to have any perfunctory thoughts about Ye Ye. Now their only hope is that Ma Zhuo of the Liuli Sect can kill or drive Ye Ye away as soon as possible, so that the ancient city of Longjiang can be completely reborn from the control of the Mohai Alliance.

At the end of the meeting, the two sides maintained a superficial peace, not only the rest of the four major families breathed a sigh of relief, but the forces of all parties in the ancient city of Longjiang who were concerned about this meeting also calmed down temporarily.

Ye Ye officially announced that he would hold a martial arts conference ten days later, and the four major families also began to make various preparations for the martial arts conference in accordance with Ye Ye's orders.

Not only that, after Xiao Ling and the others returned to their respective families, they almost immediately sent the masters of the family to start a large-scale search for Zhu Longkong and others in the ancient city of Longjiang. With countless pairs of eyes watching, the four major families did not dare to slack off at all, for fear that they would be caught by Ye Ye and use the excuse to directly wipe out their family from the ancient city of Longjiang.

Of course, the remnants of the Zhu family and the Chongyun faction and other forces would not sit still, and almost as soon as the four major families began to act, they took the initiative to launch an attack on the masters of the four major families. The two sides already have enmity, and the position is hostile at this time, so they are not merciless in fighting, and the monks of the Martial Spirit Realm of the Martial Sect have suffered heavy casualties, and even the masters of the Martial Monarch Realm have been hit hard.

However, to Xiao Ling and the others' peace of mind, the day when Ma Zhuo, a disciple of the Liuli Sect, summoned them, had finally arrived.

The heads of the four major families, together with Zhang Tianyu, who had formed an alliance before, quietly gathered together on a dark and windy night. They secretly left the Xiao family, and it didn't take long for them to come to the gate of a remote courtyard in the ancient city of Longjiang.

The two monks with extraordinary breath stood quietly here, and when they saw Xiao Ling and the others coming, they opened the door and let the five of them enter.

"Meet Lord Ma Zhuo!"

After Xiao Ling and the others walked into the courtyard, they immediately saw a young man sitting quietly at a stone table in the center of the courtyard. Before Xiao Ling and the others arrived, the young man had been looking up at the dim night sky in a daze, and only after noticing the appearance of Xiao Ling and the others did he turn his head and glance at them lightly.

"Get up, didn't you say before that only the heads of your four major families could see me?

The young man Ma Zhuo glanced at Zhang Tianyu beside Xiao Ling and the others, and seemed to be dissatisfied with his existence.

After hearing this, Xiao Ling hurriedly lowered his head and explained to Ma Zhuo: "Lord Qiyu, this prince is Zhang Tianyu from Liuyue Ancient City. Before, because of the failure of instigating Ye Ye's rebellion, he has now gone to the opposite side of the Mohai Alliance, and can be our helper in this operation. Xiao Ling took the initiative to bring him here, and I ask my lord to forgive me!"

Seeing this, Zhang Tianyu immediately stepped forward and respectfully hugged his fists at Ma Zhuo and said: "Lord Ma Zhuo, I have admired you for a long time! I hope that this time I can wipe Ye Ye from this world under the leadership of Lord Ma Zhuo, and defeat the entire Mohai Alliance in one fell swoop! My lord can rest assured, after surrendering to the Liuli faction, there will never be two more hearts, and he will definitely carry out the orders of the Liuli faction without hesitation, and he is willing to do his best for the Liuli faction!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Ling and the other heads of the four major families also expressed their loyalty to Ma Zhuo, sincerely hoping that Ma Zhuo could completely break the ancient city of Longjiang out of the control of the Mohai Alliance.

Seeing that all five of them bowed their heads to him, with a look of resignation on his face, Ma Zhuo finally replied lightly: "That's it, you all get up! There is only one purpose for letting you come over this time, which is to tell you the means and methods of dealing with Ye Ye." ”

When Xiao Ling and the others heard this, their faces all showed anticipation, and they got up and looked at Ma Zhuo intently.

Although the ancient city of Longjiang was the home of their four major families, it was impossible for Xiao Ling and the others to fight Ye Ye with their own strength, so no matter what Ma Zhuo's plan was, their four major families could only cooperate with the execution.

What's more, Ma Zhuo, as a disciple of the peak realm of the Martial King of the Liuli Sect, must be much stronger than their four major families in terms of hole cards and methods, so Xiao Ling and the others are full of confidence in Ma Zhuo, and they all listen to Ma Zhuo's plan.

Seeing this, Ma Zhuo continued to say lightly to Xiao Ling and the others: "Two days later, I will formally meet Ye Ye at your Xiao family. No matter what method you use, you must let Ye Ye appear at the Xiao family in two days. When the time comes, I will cooperate with my mount, the Dragon Horned Rhino, to keep it in the Xiao family forever and take over the entire ancient city of Longjiang. ”

As he spoke, Ma Zhuo took out a cyan diamond-shaped token from his bosom and threw it to Xiao Ling, and instructed: "My mount, the Dragon Horned Rhino, was placed by me in the terracotta forest not far from the ancient city of Longjiang because of its size. You take my Imperial Beast Order and go directly to wake it up, and bring it to the Xiao family two days later to join me in killing Ye Ye. In the next two days, I will go all out to cultivate and strive to make my cultivation go further. Unless your four major families encounter an existential crisis, you must not disturb my cultivation!"

After Ma Zhuo finished speaking, he waved his hand directly, and the two Liuli Sect disciples who had just been guarding the door immediately came in and took Xiao Ling and the others away.

"Yes, thank you for everything you have done for our Longjiang Ancient City!"

Xiao Ling immediately thanked Ma Zhuo solemnly after receiving the order of the beast, and had no objection to Ma Zhuo's arrangement in his heart.

Originally, because Ye Ye's reputation was too loud, Xiao Ling and others still had a little doubt about whether Ma Zhuo could win against Ye Ye. Now hearing that Ma Zhuo was preparing to attack Ye Ye with his mount, everyone finally settled down and decided that everything would be carried out according to Ma Zhuo's plan.

Since as long as Xiao Ling and the others refined the Imperial Beast Order, they could sense the specific location of the dragon horn rhino, so Xiao Ling did not ask Ma Zhuo to send someone to take them to the terracotta forest to find the dragon horn rhino. After he solemnly put away the Imperial Beast Order, the five of them followed the two Liuli Sect disciples out of Ma Zhuo's courtyard.
