Mythical Cultivation

In the Bai family's meeting hall, a middle-aged man with a pale face and no beard sat at the main seat. He was none other than Bai Jingxuan, the patriarch of the Bai family. To his left and right sat three middle-aged or elderly men, none other than the Bai family's elders.

"Master, something big has happened. The Sixth Brother and the two guard commanders are all gone. This is a huge loss for our Bai family. I didn't expect that the Lin family still has hidden masters who killed all the people we ambushed this time." An old man said. This person was Bai Honglu, the second elder of the Bai family.

"This matter is not over yet. I didn't expect the Lin family to hide so deeply. It seems that they have planned it all along. This time, my Bai family and the Xiao family suffered such heavy losses. Their ambitions are finally revealed. Our Bai family will certainly not give up. We will gather manpower and call back all the Bai family members who are outside in the next two days, ready for a decisive battle at any time. I also want to discuss with Xiao Mingyi when to have a decisive battle and push the Lin family into the abyss." Bai Jingxuan said.

After saying that, he asked everyone to leave and make preparations, while he rushed to the Xiao family to discuss.

The Bai family refused to discuss the matter, while the Xiao family was also in a state of panic. Several elders of the family were discussing the matter with the head of the family, Xiao Mingyi, and were preparing to gather the family members to avenge this great hatred. After the elders left, Xiao Mingyi did not leave, but instead asked someone to call back the eldest elder who had just left.

"Mingyi, I wonder what else you want that brings me back?" said the great elder Xiao Guangning. This man was none other than the great elder of the Xiao family, Xiao Mingyi's father, and one of the three Blood Qi Realm cultivators of the Xiao family.

"Father, this incident has caused our Xiao family such great losses. If we don't handle this matter properly, I'm sure everyone in the family will be in danger. The Second Elder and his group will definitely use this to force me to give up some power. I don't know when the help you mentioned will arrive. Please give me accurate information so that I can rest assured."

"Don't worry too much. Although the miscalculation this time allowed the Lin family to gain an advantage, there's no need to worry. The Bai family's situation must be more difficult than ours. They are weaker than us to begin with. After this incident, they must be more worried than us. I think Bai Jingxuan is on his way to my Xiao family, preparing to discuss a decisive battle with the Lin family.

As for the second brother and his men, it's even easier. If Bai Jingxuan discusses a decisive battle with you, agree to it and have him prepare. I'll also find a way to get the second brother and his men actively involved, preserving our strength and allowing them to fight to a draw. Once reinforcements arrive and we've dealt with the Lin family, our strength will be intact, making it easy to control them. Then, Qingshi City will belong to our Xiao family, to us, father and son. According to the news, that master should be arriving in the next two days. I'll go to meet him personally, so don't worry. Just do your own thing." Xiao Guangning said, stroking his snow-white beard.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. The Second Elder has been forcing me to give up power, seeking benefits for his own lineage. He's selfish and cautious, not contributing to the family. Once this is over, we'll see what he can use to fight us," Xiao Mingyi said bitterly. The Xiao family's Second Elder, Xiao Guangze, was his uncle. Because his own son didn't become the head of the family, he always opposed him, causing a significant loss of the Xiao family's strength. Otherwise, their Xiao family would be the strongest of the three major families.

"Second Brother's matter is nothing. As long as we eliminate the Lin family in this matter and subsequently incorporate the Bai family, so that my Xiao family can become the overlord of Qingshi City, then our Xiao family can make further progress. This is the big thing, and everything else is trivial. Don't get carried away with them."

"I'm just a little indignant. I know the priorities of things." Xiao Mingyi is also the head of the Xiao family, so his vision is certainly not so shallow.

Not long after the father and son had their discussion, they heard a servant report that the head of the Bai family had come to the Xiao family to discuss something with the head of the family. Xiao Mingyi also picked up the tea and got ready.

"Brother Bai, how come you have time to come to my Xiao family? Someone, come and serve tea." Xiao Mingyi sat upright.

"Brother Xiao, I'm not as wealthy as you. This time, a large number of elite soldiers from our two families who ambushed the Lin family were killed. I'm not as calm as you."

"Brother Bai, you're joking. As the head of the Bai family, if anyone says that you don't have a wealthy family and great wealth, I'll be the first to disagree."

"Brother Xiao, let's not talk about these empty words anymore. The losses this time are so huge. My Bai family is already preparing to gather people and fight the Lin family to the death. I wonder how Brother Xiao will respond?"

Hearing Bai Jingxuan get straight to the point, Xiao Mingyi stopped joking around. "Brother Bai, I understand how you feel. I feel the same way. My Xiao family has suffered heavy losses this time, so of course we won't let this go. Brother Bai, let's set a time so our two families can come together and destroy the Lin family."

Bai Jingxuan was relieved when he received Xiao Mingyi's reply. He was worried that Xiao Mingyi would not join him as a hunter, which would put the Bai family in an awkward position. The two of them discussed the specific time and how to divide the benefits afterwards, and finally set the time for the two families to jointly destroy the Lin family the day after tomorrow.

Just as the two families were discussing how to destroy the Lin family, undercurrents were also surging in the City Lord's Mansion.

"City Lord, there will definitely be a war between the three major families this time. Should we in the City Lord's Mansion just wait and see?" A middle-aged man holding a feather fan said to a domineering middle-aged man sitting in the main seat.

"Mr. Mingbo, who do you think will win among the three major families this time? Do we need to take action?" The middle-aged man sitting in the main seat looked at the middle-aged man holding a feather fan and said.

"My Lord City Lord, the three great families are a major cancer in our Bluestone City, defying the law. It's a pity that I, Zhang Mingbo, am weak, otherwise I would have captured every member of these three families and taught them the law. Regarding this war between the three families, I think the City Lord can secretly send out a guard team. When the three families are both defeated, we will wipe them out and restore justice to Bluestone City."

"Mr. Mingbo is absolutely right. The three major families are usually arrogant and domineering and ignore the law. I, Zhao, have long wanted to get rid of them, but unfortunately I don't have enough strength and the court doesn't send anyone down. I really have the will but not the ability. Now the opportunity has come. Then I will hand over this matter to Mr. Mingbo, and he must wipe out the three major families in one fell swoop." said the city lord.

"I, Zhang, will never let the City Lord's trust go to waste. After eliminating the three major families, I will submit a memorial to the court to convey the City Lord's loyalty to the Emperor."

After Mr. Mingbo left, another person emerged from behind the scenes. "Master, Zhang Mingbo is no good either. He's secretly leaked news of the discovery of rare treasures near Qingshi City to the imperial court. Upon receiving the news, the Lord of Huanglong Mansion has already sent people to Qingshi City. Should we take advantage of his unpreparedness and secretly eliminate him?" The person then made a gesture as if beheading someone.
