None of the members of the Wu Family present knew about this so-called agreement. Ten years ago, the Wu Family had indeed been defeated, but because of this, the Wu Family had compensated the Verdant Sect with a lot of cultivation resources. However, no one had ever heard of the Wu Family signing such an agreement. None of the members of the Wu Family present knew about this so-called agreement. Ten years ago, the Wu Family had indeed been defeated, but because of this, the Wu Family had compensated the Verdant Sect with a lot of cultivation resources. However, no one had ever heard of the Wu Family signing such an agreement.
The white-haired old man's smile gradually turned cold when he heard the elder's shout. "Oh, so you're saying that the Wu family doesn't plan on acknowledging this?"
"Bullshit, this wasn't signed by our Wu family at all. What right do we have?" another elder said coldly.
The Wu family members had no idea about this at all. Now that the Azure Gate had come with a so-called agreement out of the blue, they wanted the Wu family to cede a third of their territory to the Azure Gate. This was simply a pipe dream.
However, the white-haired old man was not angered at all by the angry shouts of the two elders. He continued to speak unhurriedly, "If you don't know, then it only means that your status is too low. You don't have the right to know about this. The agreement in my hand was personally signed by the patriarch of the Wu family. No, it should be signed by the previous patriarch of the Wu family."
The previous patriarch? Wasn't that Wu Lin's father? With that, the old man waved the agreement in his hand again for everyone to see.
The agreement was in the old man's hand, and everyone in the Wu family could clearly see the signature on it. It was indeed Wu Lin's father's. Moreover, almost everyone present was in the upper echelon of the Wu family, so they were certain that it was Wu Lin's father's handwriting.
They never thought that Wu Lin would be so heartless as to sign a ceasefire agreement with the Azure Gate without telling anyone in the Wu family.
Logically speaking, even if Wu Lin's father was the patriarch, he had no right to sign such an agreement on his own. He had even ceded a third of the Tianwu Continent to the Azure Gate.
According to the Wu family's rules, signing an agreement like this required the joint decision of the eight ancestors. The patriarch alone had no right to make such a decision.
The agreement was right in front of everyone, and the person who had signed it was Wu Lin's father. There was no doubt about this. Just as the Wu Clan elders were at a loss for words, Wu Xing spoke in a deep voice from the main seat.
"Even the head of the family does not have the right to make such a decision. Therefore, this agreement is naturally invalid. My Wu family will not accept it."
Wu Xing admitted that this agreement was indeed made to punish Wu Lin's father, but so what? This was his personal decision, and he didn't tell anyone else in the Wu family, so the Wu family wouldn't acknowledge such an agreement.
When he heard Wu Xing's words, the white-haired old man's expression turned even more gloomy. "In that case, the Wu Clan intends to renege on their debt?"
A murderous look appeared in his eyes. However, just as the white-haired old man finished speaking, a shout came from outside the door. "My Wu Family naturally won't accept such an agreement."
As he spoke, an ancestor of the Wu Family strode into the hall. Of course, the ancestor of the Wu Family knew who the person from the Verdant Sect was.
"Greetings, ancestor." When they saw their ancestor stride into the room, everyone from the Wu Family immediately bowed respectfully.
The Wu Family ancestor walked up to the white-haired old man and said indifferently, "Scram. My Wu Family will not accept this agreement. If you don't accept it, get those old farts from the Verdant Sect to come and talk to me personally. You don't have the right."
The white-haired old man was only a vice sect leader of the Verdant Sect. His status couldn't compare to the Wu Family ancestor, let alone his cultivation.
He didn't take the white-haired old man seriously at all. Seeing this, the white-haired old man's eyes flashed with anger. However, he knew that he couldn't offend the person in front of him, so he could only forcefully suppress the anger in his heart.
However, since the Verdant Sect dared to come to Tianwu City with great fanfare, they naturally wouldn't be unprepared. Clearly, they must have expected that the Wu Family wouldn't accept this agreement.
Therefore, after the Wu Family ancestor appeared, a domineering and terrifying aura suddenly appeared in the sky above Tianwu City. At the same time, one by one, the Verdant Sect experts appeared in the sky above Tianwu City.
There were more than ten thousand people, and they were all elites of the Verdant Sect.
With so many Verdant Sect experts appearing in Tianwu City, and the eight great ancestors of the Verdant Sect appearing together, the Wu Family members in Tianwu City all rose into the air when they sensed the aura in the sky. Wu Xing, the white-haired old man, and the others also arrived in the sky one after another.
The two sides faced each other. The eight ancestors of the Wu Family and the eight ancestors of the Verdant Sect faced each other from a distance. Looking at the people of the Verdant Sect, one of the Wu Family ancestors shouted coldly.
"Looks like the Verdant Sect was prepared long ago."
The Verdant Sect clearly came prepared. Even a fool could see this. Moreover, at this time, the Wu Family definitely didn't want to have any conflict with the Verdant Sect. After all, the Wu Family had just experienced a great battle yesterday. The Wu Family had suffered heavy losses, and even the eight ancestors had yet to recover from their injuries. If they fought with the Verdant Sect now, the Wu Family would be at a disadvantage.
Hearing the words of the Wu Family ancestor, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face walked out from among the Verdant Sect ancestors. His gaze swept across the eight Wu Family ancestors, and he revealed a strange smile. "All of you are injured?"
As an End Realm expert, the Verdant Sect ancestor could see that the eight ancestors of the Wu Family were more or less injured. Among them, four of them were severely injured.
He didn't expect there to be such a pleasant surprise. The eight ancestors of the Wu Family were all injured. This was clearly an opportunity for the Verdant Sect. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Verdant Sect could completely destroy the Wu Family and completely control the Tianwu Mainland.
Thinking about this, the killing intent in the eyes of the Verdant Sect ancestor gathered continuously. At the same time, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.
Originally, the Verdant Sect only came this time to force the Wu Family. After all, the Wu Family was weak now, and coupled with the rise of the Verdant Sect, the Verdant Sect also coveted the Tianwu Mainland.
However, according to their initial plan, the Verdant Sect didn't want to directly destroy the Wu Family. After all, a centipede dies but doesn't fall down. If they really forced the Wu Family into a corner, the Verdant Sect might have to pay a heavy price. This was an outcome that the Verdant Sect wasn't willing to accept.
Therefore, at the start, the Verdant Sect only planned to not destroy the Wu Family and give them a portion of the land on the Tianwu Mainland. This would allow the Verdant Sect to at least have a stronghold on the Tianwu Mainland.
But now, after knowing that the eight ancestors of the Wu Family were all injured, the eight ancestors of the Verdant Sect instantly changed their minds. This was clearly a heaven-sent opportunity to destroy the Wu Family in one fell swoop. The Verdant Sect naturally didn't want to miss such an opportunity.
