Chapter Seventy-Five: The Shen Family's Countermeasures
A few days after Ye Shouyuan built the foundation, Ye Shouyi also returned to the family after stabilizing the realm and reported good news to the family.
With the return of Ye Shouyi, the Ye family also began to send invitations to the surrounding forces, inviting them to Yunling Peak to participate in this banquet.
Many of the scattered cultivation forces who received the invitation from the Ye family, as well as some relatively weak families, had mixed feelings in their hearts, and the Ye family and the Shen family were not something they could afford to provoke.
Favoring one side will inevitably offend the other, and they can only make certain trade-offs between them.
The matter of the Ye family's invitation to the surrounding forces naturally let the Shen family know.
Shen Changsheng naturally wouldn't let the Ye family expand his power so easily. At the same time as the Ye family sent out the invitation, Shen Changsheng instructed the people of the Shen family to convey the meaning of the Shen family to the wavering forces in the middle.
He asked these forces to weigh it carefully and carefully consider whether they needed to go to the banquet. This can be regarded as a verbal warning from the Shen family.
Many forces that originally planned to join in the excitement dispelled this idea after receiving the threat from the Shen family.
Not only that, Shen Changsheng is also a very courageous person, the day after the Ye family sent out the invitation, the Shen family threatened the surrounding forces on the one hand, and quickly eliminated a force that favored the Ye family on the other side.
Shen Changsheng's movements were very fast, he casually put a hat on that force for colluding with ghost cultivators, and wiped out all that force at a lightning speed.
And under Shen Changsheng's intentional promotion, this matter was quickly spread.
There are also some worries within the Shen family, after all, it is not appropriate for the Shen family to be quiet now, and Shen Changsheng's actions may cause trouble for Shen Changhuan.
But Shen Changsheng has his own opinion, if the Ye family is allowed to expand their influence with this matter, it will definitely not be a good choice for the Shen family who wants to annex the Ye family in the future.
The Shen family will certainly cause trouble for Shen Changhuan by killing a chicken and monkey, and killing a force that is biased towards the Ye family will certainly cause trouble for Shen Changhuan. But on balance, the negative effects of this far outweigh the positive effects.
Shen Changhuan also knew that he could deal with these troubles, which was also an important reason why Shen Changsheng was able to be so decisive.
The Shen family's hand made most of the wavering middle forces cancel their plans to go to the Ye family for a banquet.
Although the Ye family's strength has risen now, at present, the Shen family is still superior in strength.
Shen Changsheng's substantial threat had a very significant effect, and there were only a few families that replied to the Ye family.
"The Shen family is really too deceitful!" Ye Yongkang slammed his right fist into the table and said indignantly.
Shen Changsheng's series of operations directly caused many monks to cancel the idea of coming to the banquet. In this way, the Ye family's desire to expand their influence through Ye Shouyi and others to build a foundation will come to naught.
Not only that, the Shen family can even expand their influence through this matter, after all, the threat of the Shen family is much easier to use than the Ye family's invitation.
Ye Yongzhang is also frowning now, and the wrinkles on his forehead are squeezed together because of this, "Shen Changsheng has the courage to make such a move at this time." In this way, it will indeed have a relatively big blow to our Ye family.
However, we should not be too alarmed. Now Shen Changhuan is also walking on thin ice in the Wuji Sect, the Shen family violated the rules of the sect this time, and we just reported this matter to the sect and let the sect arrange it. ”
"Shen Changhuan is now an elder of the Wuji Sect after all, even if we report it, the sect will not punish it too much." Ye Yongkang was a little worried.
No matter what, Shen Changhuan was an elder of the Wuji Sect after all, and the sect would not punish Shen Changhuan in any substantive way for the sake of the Ye family.
"This matter is indeed impossible to bring down Shen Changhuan with our strength alone, but don't forget, there are other elders in the Wuji Sect who want to trouble Shen Changhuan.
We just need to pass on this news, and as for how the next events will develop, it will be up to the other elders of the Wuji Sect. Ye Yongzhang said confidently.
"That being said, if our invitations don't attract enough monks, this feast won't be meaningful." Although Ye Yongzhang already has a way to make trouble for the Shen family, the main problem now is how to solve the current problem.
"What did Elder Wu Huai say?" Ye Yongzhang asked.
"Elder Wu Huai will come to the banquet at that time." Ye Yongkang replied. After the last time Wuji Sect purchased Zhuji Dan, Wu Huai had clearly supported the Ye family. Therefore, this time the Ye family's invitation, he will come to participate.
Hearing that Wu Huai would come, Ye Yongzhang nodded with satisfaction, and there was no worry in his eyes, "As long as Elder Wu Huai can come, there will naturally be many monks coming to the banquet at that time." ”
Ye Yongzhang knew this, the biggest shortcoming of the Ye family now was that there was no elder protection in the Wuji Sect, if Wu Huai could come this time, it would undoubtedly clarify his attitude.
At that time, many swinging monks will follow Wu Huai to the banquet, after all, now that the Ye family has added two new foundation-building monks, it is bound to expand externally, otherwise, it is impossible to support the two extra foundation-building monks with the current spiritual land of the Ye family.
If you want to expand externally, you must need a lot of manpower, and if a monk joins the Ye family at this time and follows the Ye family to expand externally, you can also get a lot of benefits from it.
Although these casual cultivators are afraid of the majesty of the Shen family, they can't resist the temptation of resources after all, and with Elder Wu Huai as their backer at that time, the Ye family will not have much variability in a short period of time.
Therefore, as long as Elder Wu Huai was able to attend the banquet, the Ye family's purpose would be achieved.
"The Hu family will also be invited this time."
Ye Yongzhang raised his eyebrows, "Now that our strength has risen, if the Hu family does not cooperate with us, it will definitely be swallowed up by the Shen family in the future." Hu Wanshan was also worried that the Shen family would not succeed in annexing our Ye family, so he would end the Hu family in turn. ”
The Hu family's current choice can be regarded as a last resort, originally he Hu Wanshan planned to watch from the sidelines, but now the Ye family's strength has risen, forcing Hu Wanshan to join the confrontation with the Shen family.
After the invitation was issued, the Ye family was also preparing for this banquet in full swing, and for the Ye family, this was also a good opportunity to show the overall style of the Ye family.
Therefore, the whole clan was in full swing to rearrange Yunling Peak.
As the day of the feast draws closer, all forces are eager to see the final result.
