At the same time…in
the southeast corner of Ji County, the Zhang family's mansion was brightly lit.
In the living room of the Zhang family.
Two imposing elders sat opposite each other. Their identities were extraordinary.
One of them was the head of the Zhang family, and the other was the head of the Wen family.
The Zhang and Wen families were both middle-class families in Ji County. They had peak Houtian experts in their families, and they had a lot of influence in Ji County.
A group of pretty maids respectfully served tea.
After the two of them received it, the Zhang family head waved his hand, indicating for the maidservants to leave.
The maids carefully left the living room and closed the door.
There was no one around.
The head of the Zhang family picked up the steaming tea in his hand, blew on it, and took a sip.
Then, he smiled and said to the head of the Wen family,"Brother Wen, I think you should know about what happened to the Chen family recently.”
The head of the Wen family nodded.
He laughed gloatingly and said,"I didn't expect that Chen Yonghua would rely on his Xiantian realm cultivation to act tyrannically on normal days, suppressing us until we couldn't breathe. Now, he has actually fallen into such a state. It's really a cycle of justice, retribution!”
The head of the Zhang family smiled.
But then, he sneered and said,""Brother Wen, with Chen Yonghua's death, the Chen Family will no longer have an innate expert to guard them. In my opinion, the Chen Family is going to decline.”
"Of course. Not only is that old fart Chen Yonghua dead, but two elders of the clan have also died. The Chen clan is only left with an old man like Chen Yongzhi who doesn't have much time left to hold on. I also heard that the new head of the Chen clan is a 15-year-old child. The Chen clan is really out of people, hahaha.”
His words were full of sarcasm.
After the two of them mocked each other, the head of the Zhang family cleared his throat.
He narrowed his eyes.
"Brother Wen, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if you want to hear it."”
The head of the Wen family looked at him meaningfully.
"Old Brother Zhang, feel free to speak!”
The eyes of the head of the Zhang family flashed with a trace of light as he said,"Chen Yong Hua is dead. The Chen Family no longer has the protection of an innate expert, but they still occupy so many ways to make a fortune. This is no different from a child holding a treasure and swaggering through the market. I wonder if Brother Wen is interested in cooperating with me and plucking a few wool from the Chen family?”
When the Wen Family Head heard this, he was somewhat moved. Without Chen Yonghua, an Inborn expert, to hold the fort, the Chen Family was no longer worth his fear.
Thus, he looked at the head of the Zhang family and said,"What kind of cooperation?"
The head of the Zhang family was not surprised to see that the head of the Wen family was tempted.
He smiled faintly and said,"You and I will work together to pressure the Chen family and make them hand over 80% of the shops and markets under their name. The Chen family only has an old man like Chen Yongzhi left. They will definitely choose to compromise. Once they succeed, these shops and markets will be divided equally between you and me.”
"Eighty percent?"
The patriarch of the Wen family was a little surprised.
How was this plucking a few strands of wool? This was completely cutting off the flesh of the Chen family.
"What if the Chen Clan doesn't comply?"
The head of the Wen family asked.
The smile on the face of the head of the Zhang family slowly disappeared. He stood up and said viciously,"If the Chen Clan doesn't obey, then there's no need for them to exist. Our two clans will work together to destroy the Chen Clan!”
The head of the Wen family also stood up and laughed.
"Since that's the case, then we'll follow Old Brother Zhang's words. Tomorrow, that old thing Chen Yonghua's funeral will be held. As an old friend, how can we be rude?" Both of our families will come at the same time to send him off!”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
For a moment, the hall was filled with the two's proud and arrogant laughter.
On the second day.
Early in the morning, the moon had just set and the sun was rising from the east.
However, Ji County was already bustling with activity.
The hawkers 'shouts, the pedestrians' conversations, and the rolling wheels of the passing vehicles were endless.
It made the huge Ji County City full of vitality.
Outside the Chen Residence.
It was a plain white, as far as the eye could see, it was all plain white, and the house was filled with the sound of weeping.
Today was the day of the Chen Clan's elderly head's funeral and burial.
In the residence.
The Chen family members who were scattered all over the country put down what they were doing and rushed back from other places to send the elderly head off.
They stood on both sides and looked in the direction of the mourning hall.
Whether it was sincere or fake, everyone's face was filled with sadness.
There were many members of the Chen family, which caused the usually spacious Chen family mansion to become crowded.
Inside the mourning hall…
A dozen strong men in black stood with their hands behind their backs. They had white silk tied around their waists and arms.
Chen Kun was dressed in mourning clothes as he knelt in front of the spirit. He remained silent for a long time.
The one accompanying him was the Great Elder.
Time passed unknowingly.
The Great Elder coughed lightly and reminded,""Patriarch, it's about time. It's time to wake up and let the elderly patriarch rest in peace.”
"Got it."
Chen Kun replied, his voice a little hoarse.
Seeing Chen Kun like this, the First Elder sighed deeply.
He and Chen Yonghua were brothers. The two of them had grown up together and were inseparable. They had a very good relationship. Now, it was the elder brother who sent the younger brother to the grave first. How could he not be sad?
However, as the Great Elder, the most prestigious figure in the Chen family, he could not reveal it.
This was because there were too many people who coveted the resources in the hands of the Chen family.
Once he, the Great Elder, showed any signs of negativity.
Then, these hungry wolves who were spying on the Chen family would swarm forward and devour the Chen family without leaving anything behind.
