Peerless War God

"Patriarch, there's something strange about this matter. In recent days, several peak Tribulation Transcender cultivators have been assassinated. They died mysteriously, as if they evaporated into thin air. There are no traces at all. I suspect that this is the work of an assassin from the Tribulation Transcender Realm. " In the hall, an elder said in a deep voice.    

At this moment, those who were qualified to sit here were all the core members of the Nian family. To these people, many of the dark hands had been personally handled by them. Naturally, they had a better understanding of these phenomena and had more right to speak.    

As long as they understood how the Four Great Clans operated in secret, the people in charge of the internal rules would be able to tell with a single glance that the assassination this time had to be done by the people of the Four Great Clans.    

First, they would kill a warning to a hundred people before splitting up and suppressing them. This process was simply too familiar to them.    

However, the assassination attempt this time did not seem to have achieved the desired outcome. It was obvious that the pressure from the Rogue Cultivator Alliance was extremely great.    

Upon hearing this, Nian Shoushan nodded his head in agreement with the elder's judgment. He looked down and asked, "Were you involved in this matter?"    

"Replying to Patriarch, no." Immediately, many elders replied.    

They did not want to have anything to do with this matter. Furthermore, they had indeed not done anything. They did not dare to take the blame for this. It was not such a good thing to take the blame for someone else.    

"No, we did not do anything."    

"According to the patriarch's instructions, we have been very obedient during this period of time. We didn't do anything else. We just hid at home. Focus on cultivation, not to mention sending someone to assassinate us. If he did, there would definitely be traces left behind. "    

"That's right, that's right. Patriarch, how could we dare to disobey your orders?" Someone echoed.    

The group of people hurriedly tried all sorts of methods to cut off all relations, and they were afraid that they would be implicated in it. Especially at this critical juncture in this sensitive period of time, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.    

After all, among the four great families on the island, the Nian family's strength was only ranked third. Now, there were two more super forces. The influence of the Purple Thorns Chamber of Commerce and Cloud Sky Pavilion on the island was even lower.    

If they still did not shrink back at this time and kept a low profile, it would be no different from courting death.    

Looking at the expressions and words of these people, it did not seem like they were lying. After all, they were all on the same side here. There was no need to lie. After thinking for a while, he said, "It seems that this matter was done by the Shui family and the Yun family. Shui Mingyao and Yun Shan, hmph, you guys are in a good mood. How dare you make a move at a time like this? You have guts, but you don't know how to do it. Whether it's right or wrong, good or bad... I don't know."    

Immediately, Nian Shoushan made his own judgment. It had to be said that he was worthy of being the head of the family. Although the Nian family's strength was completely inferior to the Shui family and the Yun family, it did not prevent him from making the correct judgment and actions.    

" Pass down the order. Let's not participate in this matter and just wait and see. " Nian Shoushan said very calmly.    

"Yes, Family Head."    

"Yes, received the order"    

And just after the New Year's Guarding Mountain had already set the tone of not being allowed to participate in these matters, the Mu Family on the other side also began to discuss this matter.    

In the meeting hall of the Mu Clan, Mu Chenke frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that this matter will have a great impact. These rogue cultivators have always been prejudiced against our four great clans. Some of them even have a grudge, especially that person in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. They even view the Four Great Clans as their enemies. We have to be wary of them. "    

Mu Chenke's words expressed the Mu Clan's attitude towards this matter. The Mu Clan was the weakest among the Four Great Clans. Thus, they were even more unwilling to see such a change occur.    

Because the four great clans had always been on the same side, inseparable. Of course, this was referring to dealing with external forces. When it was outside Yongling Island, the four families had always worked together. Cooperating with each other.    

Only in this way could the Four Great Families stabilize their joint rule on the island. No matter who it was to the Four Great Clans, it would be beneficial without harm.    

This was called mutual benefit.    

Although the Four Great Families would have all kinds of disagreements and conflicts internally, and even some grudges, blood feuds, and so on and so forth, it was surprisingly the same on this matter.    

It was precisely because of this that some small forces outside the island wanted to infiltrate. It was virtually impossible. Even if someone's strength suddenly increased and they had the chance, they would be killed by the four families very quickly.    

Among them, assassination was the most convenient and fastest way.    

It was also because of this habit that the Rogue Cultivator Alliance once again joined forces to attack the Four Great Clans. When Shui Mingyao first thought of assassinating the Four Great Clans at the Disordered Beast Island, the first thing she thought of was assassinating them.    

Assassination was the simplest and most effective method, so why not?    

However, just as Mu Chenke had said, the consequences of his actions this time were hard to predict. If he was Shui Mingyao's, he would definitely not do it. It was too unwise, and it was also very likely that he would cause an even more terrifying backlash, which was what he least wanted to see.    

Especially now, the Mu Clan was already swaying in the wind and rain, and could collapse at any moment.    

When she thought up to here, Mu Chenke's face went cold, and her gaze slowly swept past the faces of everyone in the meeting hall. Master and disciple had discerned some clues and true thoughts from the faces of these people.    

After experiencing the fierce battle with the Nian Clan the last time, yet someone betrayed the clan, this dealt a great blow to Mu Chen Ke's confidence, and he'd already become very distrust towards these people present here.    

He didn't know if these people present here were truly standing by his side, and they wanted to protect the Mu Clan, or if it was merely out of consideration for their own interests, and they might defect at any time and prepare to flee.    

Now, he really didn't have any confidence at all. It could even be said that the one he trusted the most now was the Redbud Merchant Guild, and not these clansmen.    

This sounded very ironic, and it made people not know whether to laugh or cry.    

After pondering for a moment, Mu Chenke instantly felt powerless and said, "I've already sent someone to notify the Redbud Merchant Guild about this matter. Is there any response from there?"    

"Patriarch, we haven't received a reply for the time being, but it should be soon." An elder replied.    

" Oh."    

"Reporting, Patriarch, there's a response from the Redbud Merchant Guild." At this moment, a messenger quickly ran into the meeting hall.    

He was holding an envelope in his hand and quickly handed it over.    

Mu Chenke's face lit up. He waved his right hand and the envelope flew into his hand. However, when he opened the envelope with expectation, he saw three big words written on it.    

"Got it."
