Chapter 409: The Four Great Families

As the original rival of Mohai Ancient City, Longjiang Ancient City was almost immersed in a depressive atmosphere during this time.

The original Zhu family and the Chongyun faction and other forces planned to lead the strong men of the Longjiang Ancient City to rise up when Wei Yan descended to the Tiannan Domain, and completely expelled the forces of the Mohai Ancient City from the Longjiang Ancient City. Unexpectedly, their plan was seen through by Shangguan Yu, who was in the ancient city of Longjiang at that time, and the head of the Zhu family and the head of the Chongyun faction were all thrown into prison, and these forces also declined rapidly, and were soon replaced by other forces in the ancient city of Longjiang.

However, the wealthy families who replaced the Zhu family and other forces that rose did not join forces such as the Zhu family and the Chongyun faction on the surface, and expressed their complete surrender to the Mohai Ancient City, but they were still full of rejection of the Mohai Ancient City in their hearts. It's just that they don't have the strength to compete with the Desert Sea Ancient City at all, even if some people saw the opportunity to fish in troubled waters after the establishment of the Heron Alliance, but with the collapse of the Heron Alliance, their plan fell through again, and they almost never saw a chance to break out of the control of the Desert Sea Alliance.

However, at the last moment when Ye Ye was about to arrive at the Longjiang Ancient City and was about to completely turn the Longjiang Ancient City into a part of the Mohai Alliance, an exciting news gradually spread among the wealthy families of the Longjiang Ancient City.

"Master Xiao, is this news reliable?"

At present, among the four major families of Xiao Wang Chen and Li in the ancient city of Longjiang, the Xiao family is the strongest. So when Xiao Ling, the head of the Xiao family, gathered the other three heads of the family together and announced that the Liuli Sect had sent people to the ancient city of Longjiang, Wang Yun, the head of the Wang family, immediately asked Xiao Ling with an excited face.

"Of course, the Lord personally sent someone to inform our Xiao family of the news. Now that Lord lives in the Ancient City of Longjiang, I have summoned you today to inform you that I will come with me to meet that Lord in three days!"

Xiao Ling was also excited, as if he had pinned all his hopes on the strong man from the Liuli Sect.

Seeing this, the other three family heads finally completely believed what Xiao Ling said, and an indescribable excitement surged in their hearts.

"Dare to ask the Xiao family master, what is the strength of that lord from the Liuli Sect, can you kill Ye Ye in one fell swoop and lead our Longjiang Ancient City out of the control of the Mohai Alliance?"

After Li Sheng, the head of the Li family, was excited, he immediately asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

After all, although the name of the Liuli faction is big, Ye Ye's strength is too strong. If the Liuli Sect just sent a disciple over casually, I'm afraid the end would not be much better than the previous Gaoling.

As soon as Li Sheng's question came out, Wang Yun and the others also looked at Xiao Ling expectantly, wanting to hear the answer they wanted from his mouth.

Xiao Ling saw that the three of them were all staring at him nervously, and he didn't mean to sell it to them, and replied directly to Li Sheng and the others: "Although that lord only has the cultivation of the peak realm of the Martial King, his identity is not an ordinary disciple of the Liuli Sect!"

Seeing a thick look of curiosity in the eyes of Wang Yun and the others, Xiao Ling smiled and continued to say to them: "I think, you should have all heard of the name Ma Zhuo before! When Lord Ma Zhuo was famous in the Southern Regions, even the Alien Fire Sect shy away from the Liuli Sect and regarded Ma Zhuo as a thorn in their side!"

"Is Ma Zhuo in the mouth of the Xiao family master the chief disciple of the Liuli Sect Ma Zhuo?"

"Great, with Master Ma Zhuo here, Ye Ye can't help us!"

"I heard that Lord Ma Zhuo has been to Taiyuan Holy Mountain, and his strength must not be comparable to that of ordinary martial king peak powerhouses!"

"Both are at the peak realm of the Martial King, and Ye Ye will never be the opponent of Lord Ma Zhuo!"

When Wang Yun, Li Sheng and the others heard Ma Zhuo's name, their eyes all showed indescribable excitement. Especially after they confirmed Ma Zhuo's identity from Xiao Ling's mouth, they no longer had the slightest worry about the future of Longjiang Ancient City.

In their opinion, although Ye Ye was in the limelight in the Tiannan Domain, he was still more than a cut behind the chief disciple of the Liuli Sect who had gone to the Taiyuan Holy Mountain to cultivate. Just hearing the name Ma Zhuo, the worries of the four family masters had completely dissipated. Now they only waited for three days to summon Ma Zhuo and discuss with Ma Zhuo how to deal with Ye Ye and the entire Mohai Alliance, and the rest were no longer in mind.

But just when the other three family heads were about to leave the Xiao family and return to their own family meeting three days later to prepare for the meeting, a descendant of the Xiao family suddenly came to Xiao Ling to report that a person who claimed to be Zhang Tianyu wanted to meet Xiao Ling.

"Zhang Tianyu?"

When Xiao Ling heard this name, he faintly felt a little familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember who the other party was.

When Li Sheng, the head of the Li family, heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said to Xiao Ling and the other family heads: "When rumors spread in Mohai Ancient City before, wasn't the strongest genius in Liuyue Ancient City who intended to promote Ye Ye to become the leader of the Mohai Alliance called Zhang Tianyu?"

"I also remembered you like this! Isn't this Zhang Tianyu Ye Ye's staunchest supporter? What is he doing in our Longjiang Ancient City?"

After hearing Li Sheng's words, Wang Yun, the head of the Wang family, also remembered some information about Zhang Tianyu, and immediately said with a trace of doubt on his face.

"No matter what his purpose is, it's better for me to meet him! It just so happens that the three heads of the family are here, let's see what tricks this Zhang Tianyu wants to play!"

After Xiao Ling recalled Zhang Tianyu, his heart was full of curiosity about his intention.

Although it is rumored that Zhang Tianyu is Ye Ye's staunchest supporter, Xiao Ling believes that Zhang Tianyu's promotion of Ye Ye to the top is more to satisfy his ambitions. Now that his plan has failed, he may not still have the same naïve thoughts about Ye Ye as before.

Wang Yun and the others also nodded, and returned to their seats in the hall one after another, intending to meet the strongest genius in this Liuyue Ancient City with Xiao Ling.

It didn't take long for the Xiao family's subordinates, who had just come to report to the Xiao family, to bring a young man to the hall of the Xiao family, who was Zhang Tianyu, who had secretly met with Ye Ye in Mohai Ancient City before.

"Zhang Tianyu, the ancient city of Liuyue, has seen the four heads of the Xiao Wang, Chen and Li!"

As soon as Zhang Tianyu walked into the hall, he saw that in addition to Xiao Ling, Wang Yun and others were also waiting for him in the hall. Although there was a hint of surprise on his face, he quickly calmed down his emotions and bowed to Xiao Ling and the others without humility or arrogance.

Although this place is the ancient city of Longjiang, and the person standing in front of Zhang Tianyu is still the head of the current four major families in the ancient city of Longjiang, Zhang Tianyu does not have the slightest intention of groveling. After all, he and Xiao Ling and the others were both powerhouses at the peak realm of the Martial Monarch, so there was no need to be too polite to them. In addition, with his talent, the probability of being promoted to the Martial King is far better than that of Xiao Ling and the others, so when Zhang Tianyu saluted Xiao Ling and the others, he had no intention of flattering him at all.

"You know us?"

Xiao Ling hadn't spoken yet, but Wang Yun on the side asked Zhang Tianyu with some surprise.

Because they were all meeting Zhang Tianyu for the first time, they thought that the other party would only know Xiao Ling, the head of the Xiao family, at most, but they didn't expect Zhang Tianyu to directly point out their identities as soon as possible.

Xiao Ling, Li Sheng and the others looked at Zhang Tianyu with the same curiosity, as if they were waiting for an explanation from him. Seeing this, Zhang Tianyu didn't hide it, and said calmly directly to everyone: "Don't hide it, it's been a while since I came down to the ancient city of Longjiang. During this time, I had a detailed understanding of the situation of the major forces in the ancient city of Longjiang, so it was naturally not difficult to recognize the heads of the family. This time I visited the Xiao family, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet the heads of the other three families, it seems that I won't run away in vain this time!"

Hearing Zhang Tianyu's words, Xiao Ling and the other four family heads all raised their eyebrows. They didn't have the leisure to care about Zhang Tianyu's attitude, and at this time, they were most concerned about the purpose of Zhang Tianyu coming to their Longjiang Ancient City.

After Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, he asked directly to Zhang Tianyu: "I have also heard of Your Excellency's name, Xiao Ling, and I heard that Your Excellency is a staunch supporter of Ye Ye City Lord. Your Excellency came to Longjiang Ancient City this time, didn't you also want to follow Ye Ye City Lord and wipe out all these families in Longjiang Ancient City?"

Xiao Ling's words were full of gunpowder, although he still maintained respect for Ye Ye on the surface, it could already be seen from his question that Xiao Ling had put Ye Ye on the opposite side of the four major families of their Longjiang Ancient City.

After he finished speaking, including Xiao Ling, the heads of the four major families in the ancient city of Longjiang all looked at Zhang Tianyu directly, wanting to see Zhang Tianyu's true attitude towards Ye Ye from his reaction.

However, to their surprise, Zhang Tianyu only smiled lightly after hearing Xiao Ling's question, and then replied lightly to Xiao Ling: "The Xiao family master doesn't need to continue to be tempted! If I am really still a supporter of Ye Ye as you said, I will not appear in your Xiao family now, but in the City Lord's Mansion in your Longjiang Ancient City!"

Xiao Ling, Wang Yun and the others looked moved, as if they had finally become interested in Zhang Tianyu.

But without waiting for them to ask questions, Zhang Tianyu continued to say to Xiao Ling and the others: "You should know that since the previous city lord of Liuyue Ancient City was killed by Ye Ye, the pattern in Liuyue Ancient City has undergone earth-shaking changes. Although he was not from a famous family, he quickly gained a firm foothold in Liuyue Ancient City with his extraordinary talent and strength, and became one of the strongest forces in Liuyue Ancient City. ”

Xiao Ling and the others did not interrupt Zhang Tianyu's self-description, and Zhang Tianyu did not mean to stop, but his tone suddenly became heavy, and there was a trace of deep unwillingness on his face.

"Originally, I thought that as long as I took advantage of the civil strife in the Mohai Alliance to support Ye Ye, after he became the leader of the alliance, he would promote me to be the city lord of Liuyue Ancient City. But I didn't expect Ye Ye to be so cowardly and cowardly, not only did he not dare to overthrow Shangguan Zhong and ascend to the position of alliance leader himself, but also cooperated with Shangguan Zhong to directly ban my power in Liuyue Ancient City! Originally, I was only one step away from the position of the city lord of Liuyue Ancient City, but now I can only leave my hometown and live here, do you think I will follow Ye Ye as firmly as before?"
