  "What about Second Master's combat power if his cultivation has reached the Half-Step Innate?" Wei Ziming fell silent for a moment before speaking up.

  "Second Grandfather has after all taken half a step forward, so he can easily defeat me!" Although admitting to being inferior to others is a disheartening thing.

  However, Grandpa Wei Yongde did not show such a look, but instead showed a relieved and joyful light in his eyes. Although the second grandfather stayed in the south for a long time, the distance seemed to have no effect on the feelings of the two elderly people.

  "If Second Master has such strength, why not directly take action against the Yu and Zhao families? As long as Second Master takes action, he can definitely uproot both families." Wei Ziming said with some puzzlement.

  "We had originally planned to take action, but because of a message, we put the plan on hold," Grandfather Wei Yongde continued.

  "What news?" Wei Ziming asked with some curiosity.

  "There are rumors of a spiritual beast's tracks near Huangsha County, and the news has spread. The surrounding counties and the forces of Pingyun Prefecture will gather in Huangsha County. In this turbulent period, our Wei family is worried, so we can only delay taking action." Grandfather Wei Yongde sighed and said.

  Wei Ziming knew what his grandfather's concerns were, after all, the Wei family was still carrying a heavy burden, although it had been a hundred years, but the Wei family's clan extermination and family feud should not have given up searching for the Wei family.

  An ordinary person's lifespan is generally a hundred years, but for a martial artist who breaks through to the Xiantian realm, their lifespan becomes extremely long. They can destroy the once-powerful Wei family, which has a strong Xiantian cultivator holding it down. It's certain that the Wei family's arch-nemesis has a strong Xiantian cultivator, and being targeted by an old monster with a long lifespan is indeed not a reassuring thing.

  When it comes to this topic, Grandfather Wei Yongde fell silent, and Wei Ziming also fell silent. The atmosphere seemed a bit oppressive, and the oppression had been weighing on the hearts of the Wei family for over a hundred years.

  ··········

  In the west of Huangsha County, ten miles away, there is a dilapidated village with crumbling houses that seem to be on the verge of collapse at any moment, indicating that this village has been deserted for a long time.

  A gust of hot air blew by, stirring up a cloud of dust and revealing a bleached white skeleton buried beneath.

  This is a human skull with a slit scar on the skull. The cut surface is smooth, and it can be inferred that this mark was left by a quick knife hand.

  As the wind and sand blew, most of the dust covering the broken village was blown away, revealing white skeletons scattered on the ground in the streets.

  This is a village that was slaughtered by the horse bandits, a poor village that had no attraction to the horse bandits, but was slaughtered anyway, so this is an unfortunate village.

  After the wind and sand passed, the dust fell again, covering the streets once more.

  Just then, from afar, an ordinary-looking horse carriage was hurrying towards here.

  After a moment, the carriage had entered the village, its iron wheels crushing the ground and making a strange "creaking" sound.

  After the carriage passed by, two deep ruts were left behind. At the bottom of these two ruts, some shattered white bone fragments could be seen.

  The driver was a middle-aged man wearing gray linen, with an ordinary appearance, relatively short and small in stature, with plain eyes that didn't show anything special, like the majority of hardworking common people, with a sense of inexplicable numbness in his eyes.

  The horse carriage stopped at the center of the village, under a withered old tree. The middle-aged coachman spoke to the people inside the carriage, "Master! We've arrived!"

  "Ah!" A hoarse voice came from inside the car, and then there was no other sound, falling into a silence.

  This ordinary-looking middle-aged man seemed to be familiar with the scene, and he also fell silent, without making a sound. With a numb gaze in his eyes, he looked faintly at the village entrance, watching the empty village entrance, watching the desolate road in the distance.

  After a while, another ordinary carriage appeared in the distance on the road, rushing towards this side.

  The ordinary-looking coachman looked into the distance and saw a carriage approaching, then opened his mouth to say "Master! Master Zhao has arrived!"

  At this time, the curtain was lifted, and through the window, a thin old man with white hair and beard could be seen. This old man was the master of the Yu family, named Yu Jiang.

  After a moment, another carriage also arrived here. The curtain of the carriage was lifted in the same way, and an old man with white hair and beard appeared at the window.

  "Old ginger! You're early." The newly arrived old man said calmly.

  "It's come early, Zhao Pang made an appointment, can I not come ahead of time?" The thin old man You Jiang pulled out a dry smile on his wrinkled face.

  "The first two times were my arrangements with the Wei family, but both times were rejected. The third time was a voluntary appointment, which really surprised me." Old man You Jiang chuckled a few times, and it was hard to tell what meaning was hidden in his smile.

  "My family, Zhao, is the oldest aristocratic family in Huangsha County. Although it's still a small aristocratic family, it has a history of thousands of years and can be passed down for thousands of years, so we naturally have our own way of doing things."

  "In the thousand-year history, my Zhao family has witnessed the downfall of many families and also witnessed the rebirth of many families. For my Zhao family, the You family is also a newly born family." The old man named Zhao Pang naturally understood the implication of You Jiang's dry laughter, but he didn't care at all and calmly said.

  "It's precisely because of what you call the way of doing things that after a thousand years, your Zhao family is still just a small aristocratic family." The old man, You Jiang, spoke with a hint of disdain in his tone.

  "Now the Zhao family has also joined in! Hehe, I want to see how they will deal with the Wei family. Of course, my Yu family will cooperate fully, after all, the Yu and Wei families are like fire and water." The old man, Yu Jiang, continued to speak.

  "He's no match for Wei Yongde, that old man!" The elder Zhao Pang suddenly spoke up.

  "Not even a match for that old man Wei Yongde! He was suppressed by him for his entire life!" The elder You Jiang replied calmly.

  "If I join forces with you, and drag Wei Yongde along, under the circumstances that there is no ninth-level warrior in the Wei family, our two families' ninth-level warriors will definitely be able to easily slaughter all the remaining people of the Wei family, and then we can join forces to kill Wei Yongde. However, he has always been unwilling to join forces with me." The old man You Jiang continued to speak.

  "Even if we join forces and successfully kill Wei Yongde, we will still have to pay a heavy price," said the old man Zhao Pang.

  "Hmph! Now that you've asked me out, what's the point of it all? Don't tell me it has nothing to do with the Wei family!" The old man, You Jiang, coldly snorted.

  "Of course, it's related! Since my Zhao family has already taken the plunge, I won't show mercy either. With thunderous methods, I will thoroughly annihilate the Wei family!" A hint of ferocity flashed in Old Man Zhao Peng's eyes.

  "Hmph! It's about time! But what's with the Thunderous tactics? Don't tell me it's to deal with the Wei family, and you didn't want to shed blood?" Although Old Man You Jiang said this, a hint of satisfaction still appeared on his face.

  "Of course! We can borrow the power of the Wu family from Pingyun County." The old man, Zhao Pang, suddenly revealed a mysterious smile and spoke.

  "Hmph! Ridiculous, thinking that just because you're the young mistress of a martial arts family's concubine, you can borrow the power of the prestigious Wu family? Moreover, didn't this little sister die ten years ago? It's questionable whether the master of the Wu family even remembers this little brother-in-law." The old man, You Jiang, sneered coldly.

  "Haha! The smile I see reminds me of a delightful past, I recall it was one of my younger sister's most ardent suitors, but in the end, I ended up marrying off my younger sister to the Wu family." Zhao Pang's elderly face suddenly revealed a hint of a smile as he looked at the iron-faced old man You Jiang.

  "Hmph! Let's talk about how to borrow the power of the Wu family. The Wu family doesn't have any fools, and they won't be used by others willingly." The old man You Jiang's face turned even darker, and he coldly snorted.

  "Now a spiritual beast has appeared near Huangsha County, and the news has spread. It's certain that Huangsha County will be bustling with activity, and the Wu family won't miss this opportunity to capture the spiritual beast." Old man Zhao Pang said calmly.

  "Continue!" The old man, You Jiang, coldly spoke up.

  I have received news that the master of the Wu family will personally come to Huangsha County. He is a half-step Quasi-Saint and has the highest chance of obtaining the Spiritual Beast, provided he can find it.

  Although Huangsha County is a small place, it's not easy to find the spiritual beast. I happen to know the whereabouts of the spiritual beast." Old man Zhao Pang said with a faint smile.

  "Speak! What was the purpose of inviting me here?" Old man You Jiang heard this, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He suddenly understood what Zhao Pang was getting at, and directly opened his mouth to say.

  "After annihilating the Wei family, most of the Wei family's belongings will be taken by my Zhao family." The old man, Zhao Pong, said calmly.

  "Good!" The old man Yu Jiang surprisingly agreed readily.
