Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 390: Chapter 207: Battle Challenge, Alliance Marriage, Killing Array

Liang Youshan instinctively took a step back:

”Third brother, could this be a trick?”

They were only at the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

Yet to develop Divine Sense.

But the box clearly had a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Sense Restriction on it.

Liang Youqing couldn’t be bothered with snacks now. He tucked it away into his robe, took out a Communication Talisman, and quickly said a few words.

After a while.

The Twelfth Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall personally descended from the mountain.

The Twelfth Elder scanned with his Divine Sense, discovered no traps on the box, beckoned with his hand, and the box fell into his sleeve. He turned and instructed:

”Regarding today’s matter, you two must not disclose it to a fourth person, understood?”

Liang Youshan and Liang Youqing nodded vigorously.

After the Twelfth Elder left, Liang Youshan said mournfully:

”Third brother, I told you, see? The Grand Elder just passed away, and already someone’s challenging us. I’m afraid our Liang Family will never have peace again.”

”You and your crow mouth, always spouting nonsense.”

.....

The Twelfth Elder climbed swiftly from the mountain gate to the Cyan Pine Hall where the Clan Leader was.

Clan Leader Liang furrowed his brow. Seeing the Twelfth Elder enter enthusiastically, he felt a trace of unease:

”Twelfth brother, why are you in such a hurry?”

”Patriarch, just now someone delivered a box at the base of the mountain, specifically for you to open.”

As he spoke.

He flipped his wrist.

A box floated towards Clan Leader Liang.

Clan Leader Liang fixed his gaze on it, full of doubt.

He cast a Technique into it, opening the box, and inside lay a Memory Bean Pod:

”What is this?”

Both looked at it with suspicion.

The Twelfth Elder mused:

”Patriarch, could this be related to the Canglan Secret Realm?”

Clan Leader Liang narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.

He had already learned, in the Canglan Secret Realm, the Cui Family obtained nine portions of the Foundation Establishment Main Medicine, indirectly proving his previous suspicions.

But now the Cui Family was flourishing, allied with the Qii Family and Hongg Family, and couldn’t be moved for the time being.

Clan Leader Liang immediately cast a Technique into the Memory Bean Pod.

Soon.

On Ant Hill.

Second Elder Liang Zhitang being schemed by the Ghost Immortal Lady was displayed clearly.

Clan Leader Liang slammed the table with his palm.

With a bang, the table shattered into pieces:

”A mere upstart Ninth-Grade dares to challenge our Liang Family, indeed the Lin Family grows too bold!”

The Cui Family could not be disturbed now.

But as for the Lin Family with just three Foundation Establishments, they had a hundred methods to annihilate them:

”They think our Liang Family is a sick cat because the tiger hasn’t shown its power!”

He wanted to show the other Noble Families that even if the Liang Family lost six Foundation Establishments, they were not to be provoked.

Clan Leader Liang was brimming with killing intent.

The Twelfth Elder couldn’t help but remind:

”Patriarch, as much as the Lin Family is loathsome, what are the motives of the person who sent the Memory Bean Pod?”

With this remark.

Clan Leader Liang’s raging anger slightly cooled, he hesitated:

”Twelfth brother, are you suggesting that someone is deliberately inciting war between us and the Lin Family?”

”Exactly,” the Twelfth Elder solemnly nodded, ”Patriarch, I fear this person wants to use our hand to eliminate the Lin Family and then reap the benefits.”

Clan Leader Liang’s mind raced.

Neighboring the Lin Family’s territory were the Fu Family and the Shangguan Family.

The Shangguan Family had already risen to an Eighth-Grade, and since Lin Family was under their governance, it was unlikely they’d move against them.

Meanwhile, the Fu Family had just annexed the Ping Family’s territory, with scarce Foundation Establishments in their clan. Additionally, according to his information, the Fu Family found no Foundation Establishment Pills during the Canglan Secret Realm trip, therefore they can’t produce new Foundation Establishments in the year ahead; even if they seized Lin Family’s territory, they lacked the forces to hold it.

Analyzing thus.

The informant was clearly neither from the Shangguan Family nor the Fu Family.

Clan Leader Liang scrutinized the box again and discovered a hidden mark at the bottom, upon closer inspection, realization flashed in his eyes:

”The Xu Family of North Huai Prefecture!”

Since the informant was from the Xu Family.

There was obviously no involvement with the interests of South Huai Prefecture, this was clearly a personal grudge, and the Xu Family’s daughter was soon to succeed Cao Xiang’er as Hall Master. If the Liang Family eliminated the Lin Family, granting the Xu Family relief, it could be considered as gaining favor with the Xu Family.

In the future, when dealing with the World Suppression Bureau, Master Xu’s presence would be advantageous.

Thinking thus.

Clan Leader Liang immediately smiled:

”Twelfth brother, gather all clan elders immediately and convene in the Council Hall for discussion.”

The Twelfth Elder noticed that Clan Leader Liang seemed energized, feeling a vague unease; despite his clear hints, the Clan Leader seemed genuinely intent on war with the Lin Family.

Once all elders assembled.

Upon hearing Clan Leader’s intention to attack the Lin Family, the Twelfth Elder immediately advised:

”Patriarch, with the Beast Tide approaching, coupled with the loss of half our Foundation Establishments in the Canglan Secret Realm, this may not be the best time to go to war with the Lin Family.”

Clan Leader Liang quickly signaled the Thirteenth Elder.

The Thirteenth Elder understood immediately, shook his head:

”Twelfth brother, with the Beast Tide approaching, don’t we need Spirit Stones to purchase wartime supplies? Furthermore, if we seize the Lin Family’s assets, perhaps at the Wanning Commerce Association’s Foundation Establishment Pill auction, we could acquire a few Foundation Establishment Pills, potentially increasing our Foundation Establishments to fill the void left by the Grand Elder and others.”

”Moreover,”

”Our Liang Family ancestors rose from humble beginnings as rebels; we can’t break the fine traditions of our ancestors.”

Before long.

In the Council Hall, the factions for and against war were arguing fiercely.

However.

Ultimately, Clan Leader Liang made the final decision, swiftly ordering an attack on the Lin Family, catching them off guard, especially when they thought the Liang Family was an ally!
