The Liang Clan was really willing to bleed this time. In order to pull the other clans down, they didn't hesitate to help the Yang Clan.
In this way, the Liang Clan could only be below the Yang Clan. They would never be able to compete with the Yang Clan in the future.
The Netherworld Sect's local faction wanted to balance the other two factions. Now, it was the external faction that was crushing the family faction.
The local faction naturally had to suppress the external faction and support the family faction.
As a member of the external faction, the Liang Clan's ancestor couldn't take over Zhou Qi's position.
But the external faction could fan the wind behind and light the ghost fire, making Yang Yong unable to take over.
Yang Yong guarded Clear Glass City. He could be considered an elder with real power in the Netherworld Sect.
There weren't many people from the family faction. There weren't many Purple Mansion elders.
He became an elder with real power and could be said to be the leader of the family faction.
With his identity as the leader of the family faction, he could obtain the support of many old clans.
This had great significance to the Yang Clan's future development.
It wasn't impossible for them to become the number one clan in Clear Glass City.
With such great benefits, anyone would be envious. What was the point of fighting with the Red Beard Bandits and dragging the Wang and Meng Clans down?
Zhou Qi left the venue. The rest were the interested parties.
Everyone sat down. Yang Yong was the first to speak. "Elder Zhou said just now that the Netherworld Sect didn't recruit everyone. Whether or not to fight the Red Beard Bandits is up to the Clan Heads.
As an elder of the Netherworld Sect, it's not convenient for me to speak. The Clan Heads can discuss among themselves. "
The Liang Clan was the initiator. Naturally, they couldn't be a coward. The Liang Clan Head stood up and said, "The Red Beard Bandits are audacious. They dare to openly enter Clear Glass City and attack the businesses of the Netherworld Sect's subordinate clans.
If we don't punish them severely, it will only make them more arrogant. They might even dare to attack Clear Glass City. "
The cultivators of the various clans stared at Liang Jiaxing like they were watching a monkey show.
He wanted to drag everyone down with him and still spoke like a human.
No one answered. They just looked at Liang Jiaxing with a smile that wasn't a smile.
Liang Jiaxing was a bit embarrassed. He glanced at the Huang Clan Head Huang Wanzhang.
The Huang Clan was in the southwest of Clear Glass City. They were also under the jurisdiction of the Clear Glass City's Elder.
When Huang Wanzhang was auctioning off the Foundation Establishment Pill, he wantonly raised the price and was cheated by Wang Zhian. He had to borrow spirit stones from the Liang Clan to barely survive.
Now, the Huang family had completely become the Liang family's dog.
Since its owner was being treated like a monkey, the dog naturally had to bark a few times.
Huang Wanzhang immediately agreed, "Patriarch Liang's words are reasonable. If we let the Red Beard Bandits go, they will become even more lawless."
The effect of these words was very obvious. Now, the two of them were the ones being watched as monkeys.
The atmosphere turned cold. Yang Yong coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, please make your stance clear. We can't let this stalemate continue."
Since Elder Yang had spoken, even if he didn't give face to the monk, he still had to express his stance.
The Wang and Meng Clans had always been close to the Yang Clan. At this time, they had to speak up.
The Wang Clan's situation was getting better and better, and this matter wasn't beneficial to the Wang Clan at all. Even if they didn't say anything, it wouldn't be a problem if the Yang Clan were to be displeased.
The Meng Family was still running a miserable business. They relied on the Yang Family for protection and could only be the vanguard.
The Meng Clan's Grand Elder, Meng Qingshan, smiled and said, "This is for everyone's own good. With the Red Beard Bandits running rampant, everyone will have a hard time."
After the Meng Clan expressed their stance, several clans close to the Yang Clan also expressed their stance one after another. It wouldn't be good for the Wang Clan to continue remaining silent.
Wang Zhian swept a glance at Wang Daoyuan. Wang Daoyuan immediately understood.
They had already discussed at Jade Spring Peak that they would make the Liang family bleed first.
The patriarch was a leading figure. It would be a bit shameful if he were to haggle.
Wang Daoyuan was only in his forties. Among Foundation Building cultivators, he was a genuine youngster.
None of the others present were under a hundred years old.
It was just right for him to speak on behalf of the patriarch. If he spoke well, he would be called young and promising. If he spoke poorly, the patriarch would reprimand him for being young and ignorant.
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said, "Seniors and Liang Daoyou are right. The Red Beard Bandits must be fought.
However, before the troops and horses are mobilized, the provisions must be mobilized first. We can't fight the Red Beard Bandits on an empty stomach. "
These words were also laced with sarcasm. He referred to the others present as seniors and Liang Jiaxing as Daoyou. This was forcefully dragging Liang Jiaxing down by a generation.
Wang Daoyuan said the question that everyone wanted to ask the most. Everyone wanted to swallow the benefits first.
Later on, if they didn't put in any effort, they wouldn't be afraid that the Liang family wouldn't give them benefits.
Everyone was waiting. If the Liang family didn't give them the benefits, everyone would play dumb. After all, it wasn't their own family that was being beaten. They wouldn't be in a hurry to fight again after eight or ten years.
Liang Jiaxing said helplessly, "The promise from before will be fulfilled before we depart."
Everyone's face lit up. Wang Daoyuan continued to ask, "Since the Netherworld Sect didn't enlist us to attack the Red Beard Bandits this time, who will pay the compensation if there are casualties?"
Everyone didn't expect this to happen. Their interest was piqued as they looked at Liang Jiaxing.
Liang Jiaxing gritted his teeth as he looked at Wang Daoyuan. He said, "The attack on the Red Beard Bandits this time requires us to cross the Wild Goose Mountain. We can't bring Qi Refinement cultivators.
If there are casualties in the battle, the Liang family will pay the compensation. The injured will be compensated with a thousand to three thousand spirit stones, and the dead will be compensated with ten thousand spirit stones. "
Now, everyone had no objections. Next, they discussed the issue of the number of people.
In the end, it was decided that each family would send at least one Foundation Establishment cultivator. Families with more than one Foundation Establishment cultivator would send at least half of them.
The Wang family had already expected this. They had already decided that Wang Daoyuan and the clan leader would participate in the battle.
The Meng family would send a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Naturally, Meng Qingshan would go. It would be best if he returned alive. Even if he died in battle, he could still receive ten thousand spirit stones from the Liang family.
After that, Liang Jiaxing and Yang Yong took out the information on the Red Beard Bandits.
In order to take down the Red Beard Bandits, the Netherworld Sect had planted spies in several of their properties and among the Red Beard Bandits.
The Red Beard Bandits also knew the principle of 'a crafty rabbit has three burrows'. They had divided many nests, but the Netherworld Sect had never been able to grasp the location of all the nests.
Seven years ago, the Red Beard Bandits had taken out the elites from all the nests. The commotion was too great, and the Netherworld Sect's spies had grasped the locations of many of the Red Beard Bandits' nests.
The frontline was tense, and they lacked manpower. The Netherworld Sect also wanted to keep the peace, so they did not plan to take action.
The Liang family had been jumping up and down, wanting to take action and bear the price. The Netherworld Sect also did them a favor and handed over the information.
The Red Beard Bandits had a total of six Foundation Establishment cultivators. The First Master and Second Master, who were the red-haired brothers, were both peak Foundation Establishment cultivators.
In addition, there were two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, one mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and one early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. The six of them usually guarded different nests.
After the families had finished discussing the action plan, there was no need for Yang Yong to continue being present.
He found an excuse and left the meeting place.
Yang Yong left, but the others did not. They were all waiting to discuss with the Liang family about taking over the properties.
In the end, the Liang family and the other families completed the handover of the properties within three days.
Three days later, they officially set off.
After the meeting was adjourned, the patriarch returned to the mountain to arrange the handover of the grade two cinnabar ore.
Wang Daoyuan was at the Clear Glass Market, waiting to depart.
He also went to the Divine Weapon Pavilion and bought a low-grade grade two magic longsword — Flat Wave Sword.
This time, he went out to work but did not put in any effort. Wielding the Shocking Wind Sword was too conspicuous, and it would also expose the fact that he cultivated a multi-attribute cultivation technique.
This Flat Wave Sword was made by Zhao Liang. Zhao Liang was already a low-grade grade two weapon forger, but he had not yet reached Foundation Establishment.
Three days later, the patriarch finished arranging the handover of the cinnabar ore and also hurried to the Clear Glass Market.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the various families all arrived one after another.
The Clear Glass Market needed a Zifu Disciple to oversee it. Otherwise, the people of Green Willow Province would find an opportunity to destroy the market.
Yang Yong could not leave, so the leader of this operation became the patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Zhiyuan.
Under Yang Zhiyuan's lead, the thirty or so Foundation Establishment cultivators left the Clear Glass Market on their swords and headed towards the northwest.
