Chapter 16: North-South Confrontation

"I can't imagine that the revenge of the Meng family has turned into a massacre of the Meng family." Zhang Nengtang sighed helplessly and said, "The Li family was not as merciful as last time, from top to bottom, no one in the Meng family was alive, they were all slaughtered, and now the other families in the eight major families are in danger, and what is even more terrifying is that the Li family accepted all the property of the Meng family, including those magic props and all kinds of pills, although they also sent a few copies to the Zhang family, but it was not enough to see at all." ”

"With these, the Li family, which is already strong, will go to the next level." Zhao Bingtian also sighed and said: "Now the older generation of the Li family needless to say, Li Xuanli is invincible in the world, in addition to Li Xuanli, Li Tingzhi, Li Xianzhi, and Li Wanzhi are also absolute powerhouses, in addition to the Li family elders hidden in the shadows; Among the younger generation, Li Tianyi and Li Shang are geniuses that are rare in a century, and Li Hu and Li Lingli are not inferior to the geniuses of several other families, as well as the demon with a foreign surname like Bell, and now the rise of the Li family may have become a foregone conclusion. ”

"Not necessarily, the Zhang family also rose so rapidly back then, but then that incident happened." Zhang Nengtang crossed Erlang's legs and said.

"You mean... Zhang Huaiyi? Zhao Bingtian tentatively said the name.

"Who else can he rebel with thirty-six masters, I'm afraid everyone in the whole world knows about it."

Li Shang, who was outside the door, listened to the conversation between the two, and his eyes suddenly lit up, who is Zhang Huaiyi? He was worried that no one would tell him the real reason for the decline of the four great families a hundred years ago.

"What happened to Zhang Huaiyi?" Zhao Bingtian asked.

"Who knows, now their whereabouts are unknown. But almost a hundred years have passed, and all his contemporaries, except for Li Xuanli, who was still a child at the time, are all dead, and he must have died too. ”

"That's not necessarily, Zhang Huaiyi is a rare genius for thousands of years, and he is a special undead mage, maybe he is still alive? I feel that the recent "Inhuman Dan" incident should be related to him. ”

Li Shang leaned on the back of the door, put his ear to the door, and listened to the conversation between the two people in the room.

At this moment, Bell heard that someone had assassinated Li Shang again, so he hurriedly came to inquire about Li Shang's injury, and just saw Li Shang sticking to the door, he couldn't help but feel funny, so he stepped forward and patted Li Shang on the shoulder: "What are you doing?" ”

But he didn't want to, Li Shang's center of gravity was already leaning forward, and this time he directly pushed Li Shang into the door. Li Shang jumped a few times, stood unsteadily, fell to the ground, and raised his head just to face Zhao Bingtian, who was looking down and eating melon seeds.

"Young Master of the Li family, what are you doing here?" Zhao Bingtian couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Li Shang like this.

"I heard you talking about what happened to the four great families a hundred years ago, and I was a little curious, so I wanted to hear it." Li Shang said embarrassedly.

"Didn't your family tell you?" Zhang Nengtang said with a smile: "We also eavesdropped on it from our family. ”

"Really, what happened to the four great families a hundred years ago?" Li Shang asked anxiously. Zhao Bingtian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he happened to see the bell at the door probe looking at Li Shang, so he said: "It's not convenient today, we have time to talk to you in detail in the future, we actually don't know the details, only a few words." ”

Hearing Zhao Bingtian say this, Li Shang sighed and stopped asking.

"Sure enough, as Master Zu expected, the Meng family was indeed wiped out by the Li family." The black-robed man said to a figure in the darkness.

"Presumably, the Gu, Zhang, Wu, Zheng, and Lu families are also sitting on their laurels now, and it won't be long before they will seek refuge from us like the three families of Meng, Yue, and Jiang, and then the eight major families will be under control." Another black-robed man said.

"Can it really be called the Eight Great Families now? The Meng family was wiped out, and there were only seven of the eight families left. A black-robed man said with a smile.

"Do you think the old woman can die easily?" An old but familiar voice came, and the black-robed people looked back, only to see a black-robed man walking slowly with a cane, walking to the center of the secret room, slowly taking off his mask, and a beam of light hit her face, it was the old woman of the Meng family.

"The old woman has seen Master Zu."

Sichuan, Chengdu.

"The Meng family has been destroyed?" Wu Xuanji, the third elder of the Wu family, listened to the report in front of him and said in surprise: "The Li family really dares to do it?" ”

Wu Hehua, the second eldest member of the Wu family, snorted coldly: "The Meng family is looking for death, but they can't help others." ”

"But the Meng family was destroyed, which reminds us that we have to plan early, now the contradiction between the north and the south is getting bigger and bigger, I think there will be a war sooner or later, now the four major families in the north, the Li family and the Zhang family are the most prosperous, and the alliance is long, although the Zhao family and the Wang family are also very strong, but now they are like two subordinates. And after the establishment of the Eight Great Families, our south has been falling apart for a long time, and if we fight again like a hundred years ago, it will be impossible for the south to win like a hundred years ago. The third child of the Wu family had a worried look on his face.

"Don't you think that's exactly what the Meng family wants us to see?" There was a hint of playfulness in the eyes of the second elder of the Wu family: "The Meng family wants us to feel that the Meng family has been destroyed, and the next one is us, so that the other seven families have to unite." Believe me, the old woman is definitely not dead, and even the backbone of the Meng family is not dead. ”

Hunan, Changsha.

"The Meng family is finished? Joke. Lu Yijian slapped the information in his hand on the table, and like the second child of the Meng family, he also saw through at a glance that this was the Meng family's strategy. But what does the Meng family want to do? Lu Yijian couldn't figure it out, it seemed that even if the other seven families united, it would not be of any benefit to the Meng family.

"Does the old woman want to provoke another war between the north and the south and completely destroy the four great families? I don't understand, I don't understand. Lu Yijian took a sip of the tea in his hand and shook his head.

Shanxi, Taiyuan.

Li Tingzhi's mood is extremely good, the entire plan to destroy the Meng family was carried out by Li Tingzhi himself, and now he not only completely killed the Meng family who had a feud with the Li family, but also took all the territory of the Meng family in Anhui into his pocket, but Li Tingzhi didn't realize how much uproar his actions had caused outside.

"Butler, what do you think of my plan?" Li Tingzhi said proudly.

"Clean." An old voice came: "But the head of the family, the other families of the eight major families are bound to be affected by this, and I am afraid that they will unite and be even more detrimental to the Li family in the future." ”

When Li Tingzhi heard this, he was a little calm: "I have also thought of this, I don't know what the housekeeper means..."

"We have to start first, the Meng family's industry involves all walks of life and all regions, we might as well give those industries to each family, appease each family, and then send people to the Wu family and the Lu family, who have a good relationship with the Li family, as long as these two families do not support the eight families to unite again, the south will not be able to turn the sky." The butler said with a smile.

As soon as Li Tingzhi heard this idea, his eyes lit up: "If it's really a clever plan, I'll send someone to implement it." ”
