Warren's Rise and Fall

The next morning, the sun shone through the mottled leaves onto the ground. Wang Lunwo stretched himself lazily, as if to wash away last night's fatigue.

"Brother Changsun, since the Gongsun family has a branch stationed in Yanhuo City, I'm afraid your Changsun family also has one." Wang Lunwo's voice broke the tranquility of the early morning.

Brother Changsun frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Of course, but I don't know which manager is stationed in Yanhuo City and whether he is close to my mother. After all, you know all the intrigues in big families." There was a hint of worry in his eyes, and he was obviously troubled by the complicated relationships within the family.

Wang Lunwo patted Brother Changsun on the shoulder and comforted him, "Brother Changsun, don't worry too much. Let's go and take a look first. Maybe we can meet a reasonable manager who is willing to help us."

Brother Changsun nodded and said, "Okay, let's go take a look first."

The two walked along the busy streets, and the prosperous scene of Yanhuo City made them dazzled. The street vendors shouted loudly, selling all kinds of strange and weird things. However, Wang Lunwo and Brother Changsun had no intention of appreciating all this, and their minds were on the Changsun family station they were about to visit.

Finally, they arrived in front of a magnificent mansion. The vermilion gate was closed tightly, and two stone lions stood majestically at the door. Wang Lunwo stepped forward and knocked gently on the door. After a while, a servant opened the door and looked at them vigilantly.

"May I ask what may I do for you two?" the servant asked.

Brother Changsun stepped forward and said, "I am Changsun Mingzhi of the Changsun family. I came here to visit the steward."

The servant looked them up and down and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and inform them." Then he closed the door.

Wang Lunwo and his eldest grandson were waiting anxiously outside the door, their hearts filled with anticipation and anxiety, not knowing what the outcome would be.

After a while, a middle-aged man in brocade came out and said, "It's the Fifth Young Master. The Fifth Young Master should be in the Central Divine Continent. I wonder why you came to this remote place this time?"

Zhang Sun Mingzhi sighed slightly and said, "To be honest, I was originally traveling around to relax, and on a whim I wanted to come over here to take a look, so I went to Gengxin City and used the identity of an escort agency as a cover. Unfortunately, we encountered a beast tide attacking the city. White Eagle City, Gengxin City, Muman City, and even Jushui City have all been breached by monster beasts, and I heard from the monster beasts that Houtu City has also been breached. I think they will come to attack Yanhuo City soon."

The steward's expression became serious after hearing this: "Oh, there is also this matter. It seems that the demon race intends to completely break the agreement made 20,000 years ago and invade our human territory. I must report this matter to the family as soon as possible. By the way, although the strength of the previous cities is not strong, Jushui City at least has human masters of the Condensation Dan realm stationed there. How could it be breached?"

Chang Sun Mingzhi answered with a serious face: "Yes, there were 7 great demons in the Condensation Realm at that time, and there were only human masters in the Condensation Realm in the city, and their realms were all in the early or middle stages, so they were defeated. And I heard from the demon beasts that they were the twelve demon lords under the command of a master. I wonder if there are more powerful demon beasts behind them."

The manager took a deep breath and said, "Wow, after hearing what Fifth Young Master said, it is not surprising that those cities were breached. It is estimated that the next attack on Yanhuo City will be twelve great monsters in the Condensation Realm. However, Fifth Young Master, you don't have to worry at all. If it is just a monster beast in the Condensation Realm, there is no need to worry at all. This Yanhuo City is the city closest to human territory among the Five Elements Cities. The masters in the city are not comparable to the previous cities. Even if it is twelve monster lords, we will definitely make them come and never return."

Zhang Sun Mingzhi was moved when he heard this. "Oh, why are you so sure?"

"To be honest, Fifth Young Master, this is the largest city in the Five Elements City. It's all because of the statue in the city. It's said that it is the incarnation of a great ancestor of the Five Elements Palace. Anyone who can understand the mystery can comprehend the complete Five Elements Kung Fu. Therefore, all the major families are flocking to it. Let's talk about our Changsun Family, Gongsun Family, and other Yelu Family, Sima Family, Situ Family, and even the more distant Ximen Family, Dongfang Family, Nangong Family, Beiye Family, etc. There are branch managers stationed here. The cultivation base of these managers is all in the Condensation Realm, some in the late stage, and some are perfect." The middle-aged manager paused, "Not to mention the branch of the Five Elements Palace here, the outer elders of the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth branch palaces are all perfect in the Condensation Realm. This is just on the surface. Don't the other famous and upright sects care about the Five Elements Kung Fu? Therefore, there are countless masters of the Condensation Realm in Yanhuo City, and Fifth Young Master doesn't have to worry."

After listening to the middle-aged man's story, Changsun Mingzhi was not very surprised, but Wang Lunwo next to him was stunned.

Wang Lunwo's heart was like a raging sea at this moment. He never thought that this seemingly peaceful Yanhuo City actually hid so many masters, and they all came for the mysterious Five Elements Kung Fu. Thinking that he had accidentally obtained this Kung Fu, he couldn't help but feel a chill rising from his back. A trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously. He knew very well that once this secret was leaked, he would be doomed.

In this Yanhuo City, beneath the surface prosperity, there are actually undercurrents. The managers of the major families are secretly competing with each other, hoping to be the first to crack the secret of the statue and obtain the Five Elements Gongfa. The various branches of the Five Elements Palace are also paying close attention to the development of the situation. They have to maintain their own authority and prevent the Gongfa from falling into the hands of others.

In such an environment, everyone was very cautious. Wang Lunwo began to think about his own way out. Should he hide his skills and practice quietly, or find a strong backer, such as Changsun Mingzhi's family, to ensure his own safety? Changsun Mingzhi was also thinking about how to take advantage of this complicated situation to seek greater benefits for his family.
