"I didn't expect that one of the four great families, the Lightning Family, had secretly taken refuge in Wu Tian!"

Li Chen muttered, his brows furrowed slightly, sensing that something was wrong with the situation.

The four major families of the Celestial Star Empire are the first family, the Mufeng family, the second family, the Heiyun family, the third family, the lightning family, and the fourth family, the Guyu family.

Each family has a profound heritage, and there is no shortage of cultivators in the late stage of the Xuantian Realm, who are still very influential in the battle situation.

If it is said that the third-ranked Wind Family has already secretly taken refuge in Wu Tian, then the family meeting seven days later will most likely be a Hongmen banquet for Wu Qin!

The strength of the other party is already a lot higher, and at this moment, with the help of another great family, at that time, I am afraid that the other three major families will also recognize the situation and be forced to join Wu Tian's camp.

At that time, if Wu Tian and the four great families suppressed Wu Qin together, the situation would be quite bad.

Thinking of this, Li Chen's brows couldn't help but wrinkle even tighter.

No, we must not sit idly by and wait for Wu Tian to win over the four great families.

The lightning families who have already returned to Shun can ignore it for now, but the remaining three major families of Mu Feng, Heiyun, and Gu Yu can still try his best to understand and see if he can gain favor first, and then try to win them over.

After making up his mind, Li Chen did not procrastinate, and immediately interrupted Jiang Wu's questioning, and demonized Lord Natian and the two guards together and planted a ban.

After finally dispersing the illusion realm and handing over the three of them to Jiang Wu to manage, Li Chen hurriedly left the Drunken Star Tower.

Later, through the other four people, he made an appointment in different ways with those who were more timid and afraid of things among the sub-level high-level people under Wu Tian.

Then he used illusions to force the other party, and the information he got was the same and different.

The news touched this time is also one step closer to the core, and the matter of the lightning family has also been confirmed to be true.

After demonizing those people, Li Chen handed them over to the few who were initially controlled, and then left.

The more he knew, the more he felt that what Wu Tian had planned was bigger, and this was by no means as simple as getting rid of Wu Qin.

He also has to integrate the forces within the entire Celestial Star Empire, including the four great families, as well as all the first-line families!

That person's desire to control is too strong! Strong enough that he can plan for this for more than ten years! What he does is only the final result!

This is obviously not a good thing, Wu Tian's preparation is sufficient, which means that Wu Qin's situation is more dangerous.

He had to find a way to shake Wu Tian's foundation, otherwise it would be difficult for Wu Qin to have a chance of winning!

How do you shake the foundation?

Let's start with the four great families!

......

Cheng.

In the main hall, Wu Qin was sitting on the dragon chair, with a majestic look on his face.

Except for a group of blue-robed cultivators below, there was only General Xuanzi.

"Lao Xuan, what's going on with the internal spies?"

Wu Qin asked, his words casual and tired.

Now that there are no outsiders, he is more accustomed to calling Xuan Zi Lao Xuan. The two are already good friends, and they are both people who can entrust their backs to each other, so Wu Qin is also very casual in front of him.

At least when no one is around, he will not use the tone of his superiors and subordinates to talk to each other, and he will not use imperial authority to oppress Xuan Zi.

Xuan Zi clenched his fists and replied: "Back to the emperor, the spies who have been found to be true have been removed. ”

Wu Qin smiled and praised: "It's a good job, but we still have to strictly investigate internally, and if we find a spy, we will immediately clean it up, and we must not let them spoil a good thing at a critical moment." ”

"Yes. Xuan Zi continued: "There are two more things that Wei Chen wants to give. ”

Wu Qin: "What's the matter?" ”

Xuan Zi immediately began to elaborate.

"The first thing, about co-opting old subordinates, is that the results achieved now are not very obvious. However, they also stated that they would not return to the emperor, but they would never join Wu Tian's side!"

"Well, I've expected their neutrality for a long time. I'm already very satisfied with being able to do so. Wu Qin pondered for a moment, his brows furrowed at first, and then slowly relaxed.

But Xuan Zi could still see the disappointment in Wu Qin's eyes.

After all, those old subordinates were all people who had followed Wu Qin or the first emperor, and they were all veterans-level figures of the Celestial Star Empire.

Although there are not many forces that are actually controlled, they are also a force that is not weak. If you can control it, you can still increase your chances of winning.

"Hmph, they can't see the form clearly, if the emperor succeeds in the end, they can still enjoy their lives in peace. But if it was Wu Tian's traitor, they wouldn't have had such a good time. Can't they see clearly what is so clear?"

Xuan Zi was obviously very angry, after all, it was he who failed to protect the queen and the prince in the end, which made Wu Qin fall into great passivity now.

The other party has such a handle in his hand, that is, he has pinched Wu Qin's weakness.

And this is also the reason why Xuan Zi cares so much about this matter.

It was he who was unfavorable to protect the lord, so that it led to such a consequence, so he felt guilty and wanted to make up for Wu Qin in the rest of the things.

Wu Qin couldn't see it, he was also worried about Xu Er and Xiao Zheng's comfort, but he had to focus on the overall situation.

What's more, he doesn't blame Xuan Zi. In the years since his disappearance, the other party has done his best to protect his wife and children, and has also made countless efforts to regain his inheritance, and he has only gratitude to this old friend.

With such a great favor, he didn't know how to repay Xuanzi in the future. Where is it better to blame each other?

Sighing, Wu Qin said: "This is their own choice, and others can't control it." By the way, what about the second thing?"

Xuan Zi also recovered his mind at this time, and said, "The second thing is that the Black Cloud Family has been doing something abnormal recently. ”

"Unusual behavior?" Wu Qin raised his eyebrows.

Xuan Zi nodded. "The Black Cloud Family seems to be looking for someone aggressively lately. From what information I have got, it's a old man. ”

"Looking for someone? and a bad old man?"

Wu Qin also felt that this matter was a little strange. If they were ordinary people, they would never have wasted so much effort and made such a big fanfare.

But if it is an enemy, it is too peaceful.

"The family meeting is coming, I'm afraid that there will be a change in the Black Cloud Family's situation at this moment. Xuan Zi said what was in his heart.

Wu Qin nodded, and the light in his eyes flashed.

"It's possible, you should first find out if there is a shadow of Wu Tianren behind this matter, and then see what the purpose of the Black Cloud Family is. ”

"Yes!" Xuan Zi clenched his fists and stepped back.

Wu Qin sat at the top of the main hall, his eyes swept over the five people below, Li Mo, Wang Huai, Gu Li, Long Guibu and Chai Lao, and ordered: "You also go and secretly investigate the Black Cloud Family." Remember, you are not allowed to reveal your identity!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the five of them clenched their fists, their figures disappeared into the hall under the blur.
