Chapter 999: Four Families Conspire

l incredibly uncomfortable and stifled.Cultivated for a thousand years, entered the Holy Academy twice to achieve Tao fruit... I thought I had reached the pinnacle.Unbeknownst to anyone, he who stood...Four figures sat huddled inside the room, they were the heads of four of the eight great families!

To be frank, the eight great families usually keep to themselves and rarely interact with each other.

Now, the heads of the four great families are sitting together!

If this were to get out, it would shock the jaws off everyone in Beiducheng.

"Lin Zhengxiong is not dead." Fan Jinsheng's face was grim as he spoke.

"Why isn't he dead! Didn't you promise you could kill Lin Zhengxiong!" Ma Sanhong asked, his eyes bloodshot.

"It doesn't matter if he isn't dead," Wan Wuhui said gravely. "Even if Lin Zhengxiong survives, he'll be seriously injured. As long as we do this, it will have the desired effect."

"To bring down the Lin family is just a matter of time," Guan Yi said. "The problem now is that when one Lin family falls, Fang Yu can turn around and support another family. In that way, the Beidu aristocratic families will still be controlled by him."

“That’s why I had my men create public opinion and spread that message… Those close to Fang Yu are dead.” Fan Jinsheng said with a sinister look in his eyes, “Next, we just need to keep attacking the Lin family… As long as Fang Yu doesn’t find out, as the Lin family falls into chaos, Fang Yu’s prestige will also decline until no one takes him seriously anymore.”

After this, no one dared to approach him, let alone believe in his ability, as he had to think about which family to support next.

Thus, we have achieved our objective.

"Damn it! Just one man, yet he has forced all of us to unite and use this scheme to slowly wear him down! Couldn't we just eliminate him directly!" Ma Sanhong said, his face full of resentment.

Fan Jinsheng glanced at Ma Sanhong and coughed dryly.

The two of them following the half-spirit race, the other two patriarchs were unaware of it.

After Ma Sanhong's incident, Fan Jinsheng tried to contact the elders within the Half-Spirit clan but received no response.

At this time, Wan Buren and Guan Yi came to seek cooperation.

They were discontent with the Lin family's rise, viewing it as a crisis.

Fang Yu's collaboration with the Lin family will undoubtedly drastically change the landscape of Beidu's martial arts world.

All in all, there's absolutely no benefit for their other top families.

They didn't want to sit idly by, so they decided to band together and fight against the Lin family and Fang Yu.

Fan Jinsheng and Ma Sanhong were unable to get in touch with the Halfling Clan, and they were also afraid that Fang Yu would come looking for them again... Therefore, they accepted Wan Buhui and Guan Yi's invitation and united together to plot.

Apart from those four, they also received a powerful boost.

That was the Dragon Slayer, the number one on the Heavenly Rankings back then.

Therefore, the success rate of this scheme is extremely high.

In the absence of being able to contact the Banshee Clan, this may not be a bad opportunity to counter Fang Yu.

However, even as allies, matters concerning the half-spirits should remain confidential.

Otherwise, it will inevitably cause much suspicion and taboo.

Fan Jinsheng coughed lightly, just wanting to remind Ma Sanhong not to show the other party's resentment so obviously.

But his warning had no effect.

Guan Yi and Wan Buhui both noticed the hatred on Ma Sanhong's face.

"Master Ma, did you have a previous conflict with Fang Yu" Wan Buhui frowned and asked.

Ma Sanhong looked at Wan Buhui and said angrily, "These injuries of mine! They were inflicted by Fang Yu!"

"Why would he lay a hand on you" Wan Buhui asked.

"He... made me obey him, but I refused... and then he attacked me." Masanori had to force himself to suppress his resentment and anger as he fabricated a story.

"This Fang Yu is simply arrogant to the extreme! He's lawless!" Guan Yi's face turned green with anger.

"He is good friends with Huixu from the Martial Arts Association, so no one can punish him." Fan Jinsheng said.

"Hmph, others may not dare, but we..." Wan Buhui was mid-sentence when a knock on the door suddenly interrupted her.

The expressions of the three people changed.

But Fan Jinsheng smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. I invited Long Shi over."

After finishing his words, Fan Jinsheng stood up and used magic to open the door of the secret room.

A young man in plain white clothes walked in from outside.

Even if the four people sitting in front of him were among the four most powerful figures in the current Beidu martial arts world, there was not a trace of respect on his face.

"You called me over. What did you want to say" Long Shi didn't greet the others, he looked directly at Fan Jinsheng and asked.

"Today's assassination of Lin Zhengxiong failed, he is still alive." Wan Buhui said.

"Those are just your pathetic subordinates." Long Shi said without any politeness.

The four people present shifted uncomfortably.

Today, the person sent to assassinate Lin Zhengxiong is already the strongest among the four best they could choose.

from the Guan family's Hén Shen (Nascent Soul) peak expert, Guan Yi's younger brother, Guan Hong.

“I didn't kill Lin Zhengxiong, it was an accident. At the time, Lin Zhengxiong was already on death's door, but his people had already been alerted that Fang Yu was coming… So he could only leave in time and failed to kill Lin Zhengxiong on the spot... But even so, Lin Zhengxiong should have died anyway... When he made the move, Guan Hong’s dagger was coated with a specially prepared poison.” Guan Yi frowned and said.

"I told you, your subordinates are useless." Long Shi said disdainfully.

Guan Yi's face was grim.

Guan Hong is his younger brother and the first powerful person who can make a move in the Guan family.

Long's words, in fact, had scolded both him and his younger brother.

"Long Shi, let's face it, we are allies now. There's no need to be so harsh with your words." Wan Buhui said solemnly from the side.

"I'm just being honest. I can't even handle something this small, I shouldn't have partnered with you in the first place." Long Shi shook his head and said.

Now, the faces of the four family heads present all changed.

This kid is way too arrogant!

They weren't even treated like human beings!

"Long Shi, even if you once reached the top of the Heavenly Rankings, it doesn't mean anything. Even if you are the number one on the Heavenly Rankings, you are only at the late stage of the Divine Transformation period. You are indeed powerful among the younger generation... But Guan Hong... is a peak powerhouse at the Divine Transformation period. He can't do something, and you may not be able to either." Guan Yi said with a gloomy expression.

Long Shi let out a cold smile, looking at Guan Yi. A wave of powerful energy suddenly burst from his body.

"Boom!"

A wave of pressure emanated from Long Shi's body.

Four cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage immediately changed color!

It was like a mountain had fallen from the sky and landed on their shoulders, too heavy to bear, making it hard even to breathe!

"Taste this, and tell me now, what level of cultivation have I reached" Long Shi said with a sneer.

The Four Great Masters all lay on the ground, their foreheads bulging with veins, their expressions pained.

Moments later, the pressure suddenly dissipated.

The Four Great Masters were panting heavily, staring at Long Si before them with utter terror in their eyes.

A wave of pressure, and they found it hard to breathe...

Such strength is probably beyond the scope of the Nascent Soul stage.

The dragon before me, Long Shi, has already reached the fusion stage!

"If you want to continue working with me, that's fine," Long Shi said, looking down at the four people. "But from today onwards, you have to obey me."

The four masters were silent, none daring to speak.

"Anyone who doesn't want to stay, is free to leave. I won't stop them," Long Shi said.

Ma Sanhong's face flickered, and he stood up abruptly.

"Serving you is the same as serving Fang Yu! And Fang Yu is even stronger than you! Why should I serve you!" Ma Sanhong said angrily, his chest full of rage. He turned and walked toward the secret room door.

His mental state is now imbalanced.

In the past, as the head of the Ma family, he was always feared by others, who would tremble before him.

Now, Fang Yu, Long Si... these people who look extremely young are trampling on his dignity one by one!

He can't take it anymore!

The only being he was truly willing to follow in this life was the Halflings, who could bestow upon them infinite light!

Moreover, he is unwilling to die for anyone!

Ma Sanhong strode towards the door of the secret room.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a humming sound came from behind. after firing dozens of arrows in succession, there was no longer a guard tower in front of him, only extremely thick smoke.Then, he sheathed the Silver Wing Divine Bow and his gaze fell upon a deeper...
