Chapter 16248 Bloodline

Everyone nodded. They were well aware that what they had done this time had completely offended Gongliang Juewen. If they were to suddenly surrender now, Gongliang Juewen would not let them off the hook.

Looking at everyone, Wan Hai's expression was very serious. He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, we are now at a critical juncture of life and death. If we can't hold on, then we are really finished. So this time, everyone must do their best. I hope you will too. We can only succeed if we keep putting pressure on His Majesty and make him give in as soon as possible. Do you all understand?"

Everyone nodded, and Wan Hai continued, "Alright, we'll take action tonight. You all go back now and make preparations immediately. By the way, are there any other families in the city where the Gao, Yan, and Mu families live? If we send people over, could those families offer us any assistance?"

Immediately, one of the family heads spoke up: "Yes, the three families are not in the same city. In their various cities, there are other families. We just need to contact the heads of those families, and they should be able to provide us with assistance."

Wan Hai's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Great, that's wonderful. Now let's find a way to contact those families and tell them that we're going to attack them tonight. We need their help. Can they trust us? We don't want them to betray us as soon as we finish talking to them."

The family head said, "There shouldn't be any problem. Although these families live in the same city, their relationship isn't very good, and they even have some conflicts. If we can promise to destroy those three families and hand over their assets to those families, they should agree."

Wan Hai nodded and said, "Okay, send them a letter and tell them that we can promise them that as long as we eliminate the three families, all their businesses will be handed over to those families."

The patriarch responded, then took out a jade slip, entered some information into it, then took out a communication array and sent the jade slip out. Afterwards, the patriarch said, "Let's wait here for news. I believe we'll hear from you soon."

Upon hearing this, Wan Hai frowned and then asked, "Didn't you say several companies? Are you only going to contact one?"

The family head smiled slightly and said, "Those families are just small families. I don't need to contact them personally. My subordinates can handle it."

Upon hearing this, Wan Hai didn't say anything, but simply nodded. Wan Hai was very clear that although they all belonged to aristocratic families, the gap between them was still significant. The difference between these top-tier aristocratic families and the smaller aristocratic families was not exactly worlds apart. Because of this, these aristocratic families treated the smaller aristocratic families almost like servants. After all, the smaller aristocratic families depended on them for their livelihood, so there was no need for them to be so polite.

The group discussed how to deploy troops today, how many men each family should send, and how much supplies some families should provide if they didn't want to send men. This was a rule among the aristocratic families; they usually acted together. If some families couldn't send men because they were too far away or for other reasons, they had to provide supplies. All of this had to be discussed beforehand.

After discussing for about an hour, the patriarch suddenly moved his hand, and a jade slip appeared in his hand. He glanced at the contents of the jade slip, and then turned to Wan Hai and said, "Patriarch Wan, it's done. Those families have agreed to help us, and they have sent us the coordinates of their teleportation arrays. We can use their teleportation arrays directly to get to that city. Once we get there, we can attack those three families directly."

Upon hearing this, Wan Hai immediately slammed his hand on the table and said, "Alright, everyone go back and prepare immediately. Send troops according to what we discussed before. Each family must send out their elite troops to attack. You will send the teleportation array coordinates to everyone in a moment. Send the troops there during the day and we will take action tonight."

Everyone responded and stood up. Wan Hai didn't try to keep them any longer and saw them out of the room. After they left, Wan Hai returned to his room and immediately said, "Someone come here." A servant immediately pushed open the door and came in.

Wan Hai said to the servant, "Go and call Wan Ying to my study." The servant responded and then turned and left. After the servant left, Wan Hai went directly to his study.

A moment later, the servant brought a man to Wan Hai's study. The man appeared to be in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance and nothing particularly special about him. Upon seeing Wan Hai, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Patriarch." Wan Hai nodded and then said, "Wan Ying, the situation is not right. The Gongsun family was wiped out by His Majesty without a second thought. Apart from the Gongsun family, only our Wan family is the strongest. His Majesty might target our Wan family next. You must immediately lead the elite disciples of the family and leave the family through the secret passage. Go directly to Fangjia Village. Do not return until you receive my orders. If anything happens to our Wan family, you will all change your surname to Fang and carry on the Wan family tradition."

Wan Ying responded. He was originally trained by the Wan family to do this job. You could say he was the last means for the Wan family to preserve their bloodline, so he wasn't surprised.

The Wan family is a large clan, and they naturally have an opportunity to preserve their family bloodline. Over the years, the Wan family has created a village outside the city. Everyone in this village is a member of the Wan family. On the surface, this village is no different from other villages, but everyone in this village is the last remaining member of the Wan family bloodline. However, after entering the village, they no longer use the surname Wan, but instead change it to Fang, just to prevent people from associating the village with the Wan family.

Every year, the Wan family selects a group of people from among its disciples. These are the most talented disciples in the Wan family, carefully chosen by the family. They may not be the strongest, but they have the most potential. They also bear a crucial mission: when necessary, they must remain anonymous and pass on their family bloodline.

In fact, the Gongsun family also had such an organization, but they hadn't expected Gongliang Juewen to take action against them, so they didn't activate these people. However, the Wan family was different. Having learned from the Gongsun family's experience, they had to be prepared.

The Wan family originally thought that with their strength, they no longer needed such methods, but now it seems that this is not the case. They must ensure the continuation of their family bloodline.

Fangjia Village is home not only to the Wan family members, but also to their martial arts techniques and a great deal of their resources. It is the Wan family's most important and most secretive base, a base unknown to anyone.

After giving Wan Ying his instructions, Wan Hai let her leave. He trusted that Wan Ying would be well-prepared, as the Wan family had already rehearsed for this many times.

Wan Hui is a genius disciple of the Wan family. He is not a direct descendant of the Wan family, but a disciple of a collateral branch. However, Wan Hui has excellent talent and cultivates the Wan family's techniques at a very fast pace. He is only eighteen years old now, but he has already reached the strength of the Imperial Carriage level. Such strength is enough to be called genius.

Wan Hui had long been told that if someone told him to go somewhere, he couldn't ask any questions and had to go immediately. Although Wan Hui didn't understand why, he remembered this.

He was also aware of his family's current situation. His family was currently vying with the royal family. If they succeeded, the family would become even stronger in the future. If they failed, the family would be in danger. After all, even the Gongsun family, which was stronger than theirs, had been destroyed, let alone their family.

Wan Hui and his men were also very nervous. They knew very well that at any time, their family might have to confront the royal family, and at any time, someone might attack their home. So they had been very tense these past few days, and everyone had long been prepared for battle.

Wan Hui was cultivating in his room, needing to maintain his peak condition at all times. Just then, a jade sword suddenly flew in front of him. Upon seeing the jade sword, Wan Hui's expression changed drastically, because it was completely different from other jade swords. It was red, and Wan Hui knew exactly what it represented. He had been told by his family that once he saw this jade sword, he had to gather at the family's Thirty-Sixth Courtyard as soon as possible. No one knew what the Thirty-Sixth Courtyard was, as it was a forbidden area of ​​the family, and no one was allowed to enter it under normal circumstances.

Wan Hui took the jade sword and swept his spiritual power into it. The next moment, the jade sword shattered. This was a characteristic of this kind of red jade sword: there was no content inside. As long as you swept the jade sword with your spiritual power, it would shatter. If it didn't shatter, it meant that the jade sword was fake. If it shattered, it meant that the jade sword was real.

Upon seeing that the jade sword was genuine, Wan Hui's expression changed drastically. He immediately left his room without saying a word to his family and rushed towards courtyard number thirty-six. Soon, he arrived at the courtyard, where a person stood in front of the gate. That person was none other than Wan Ying. He glanced at Wan Hui, said nothing, and simply nodded before letting Wan Hui in.

As soon as Wan Hui entered the courtyard, he was taken aback, because he found that there were already people in the courtyard, and quite a few of them. They were the other talented disciples of the family. None of them spoke, and they all stood there with serious expressions.
