Some families were happy, while others were sad!
The Shen Family's joy was exchanged for the worries of the other three families.
At this time, the Patriarchs of the Bai, Zhang, and Su families were sitting in a teahouse outside the Shen Family's house.
Looking at the lively atmosphere at the entrance of the Shen Family, the three of them were silent.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Bai, do you want to watch the Shen Family continue to develop like this? In the end, you want to step on our heads? "
Su Xinghe asked with narrowed eyes.
Bai Zizai sneered, "Su Xinghe, what are you thinking? Don't think that we don't know. In the last Large Competition, your Su Family got first place, right? How come I don't see you stepping on our heads? "
"Even if the Shen Family gets first place this time, at most they will have more benefits than us. But so what? As long as the older generation doesn't break through to the Void Transformation Stage, our Four Great Families will always be the Four Great Families. Do you think that the Shen Family can step on us just because they have more benefits than us? "
When Zhang Lingshan heard Bai Zizai's words, he nodded. He also agreed with Bai Zizai's words. Among the Four Great Families, only the Shen Family had surpassed them. The original Four Great Families were the three of them and the Li family that had been crippled by the bandits of the Black Wind Mountain Range.
After the decline of the Li family, Shen Kun seized the opportunity and rushed into the Four Great Families in one fell swoop. In the end, he, Bai, Zhang, and Su were called the Four Great Families of Jiang City. Although the Shen Family won first place this time, he didn't take it to heart. It had only been three years. How much stronger could the Shen Family be compared to them?
Besides, the three families had established themselves in Jiang City many years before the Shen Family. Even if the Shen Family was given ten years, they might not be able to threaten them.
Zhang Lingshan and Bai Zizai both knew about Su Xinghe's thoughts. It was nothing more than letting the two families stand out and balance the Shen Family, not allowing the Shen Family to develop in peace.
Although the Shen Family won first place and the two families were very unhappy, they were even more unhappy about being used as a tool.
Su Xinghe knew that this little trick would not fool the two of them, so he was not disappointed. Instead, his expression remained unchanged as he continued, "Don't forget about Shenlang. It's not like you don't know how talented Shenlang is. Who can guarantee that after three years, Shenlang won't be even more monstrous? You haven't forgotten the words of Jiangzhou Commander Zhao Qi, have you? If Shenlang enters the Xiantian realm, he will definitely enter the Ranking List of Young Masters. "
"You should know what kind of strength the people on the Ranking List of Young Masters have. Any random genius on the Ranking List of Young Masters has the strength to fight above his level. Aren't you afraid that Shenlang will destroy our three families after he develops?"
"There can't be two tigers on one mountain. The Four Great Families can only be called the Four Great Families if we have the same strength. Once one day, the Shen Family's strength surpasses ours, then there will be no Four Great Families."
These words made Bai Zizai and Zhang Lingshan fall silent. Su Xinghe was right. They had secretly fantasized that when their families were strong enough, they would destroy the other three families and unify Jiang City.
A piece of cake was always best eaten by one person. If more people ate it, it would not be enough.
Su Xinghe smiled strangely. "Two Family Heads, I also received news that Shenlang is constantly surrounded by masters. According to a Shen Family member whom I bribed, the soaring Sword Essence that day was actually released by Shenlang."
"What?"
Bai Zizai and Zhang Lingshan were shocked. The memory of Gao Jianli's overbearing sword that day was still fresh in their minds. Afterward, they had asked their father about it, and the answer they received was that the swordsman was not inferior to them.
Originally, the Shen Family had Shen Kun, a master at the peak of the Xiantian realm. Together with the swordsman, the Shen Family's strength definitely surpassed their three families.
"Are you sure your information is correct?"
Bai Zizai asked with a dignified expression.
Su Xinghe smiled confidently. "Brother Bai, would I joke about this kind of thing? Whether it is true or not, we will know sooner or later. Do I need to lie to you? "
"Alas!"
Bai Zizai sighed dejectedly. At this time, he was very regretful. He regretted that he did not stop Bai Lingshan. If Bai Lingshan married Shenlang, then wouldn't Jiang City belong to them and the Shen Family?
Su Xinghe sneered. "Don't think too much. I have told you everything I know today. As for the decision, it is up to you. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late when the Shen Family takes action."
After that, Su Xinghe stood up and left the teahouse.
Bai Zizai and Zhang Lingshan looked at each other and walked back to their families with their own thoughts.
Just after Su Xinghe and the other two left, two middle-aged men at a table in the corner of the teahouse raised their heads.
One of them had a rough face, and the other had a gloomy face.
"Big Brother, Su Xinghe is really tired of living. He dares to go against the Young Master. Why don't we …"
The rough man made a gesture on his neck.
"No need. Su Xinghe's Qinggong is not weak. The two of us can't stop him. Let's go back and report to the Young Master and see what he has to say."
These two men were none other than Lu Zhangke and He Biweng.
Two days ago, after sending Ninth Master Feng back to Wind City, they had rushed all the way back. Originally, they were already at the entrance of the Shen Family's residence, but Lifeless Thorn's sudden appearance caused them to stop in their tracks. The two sensed a familiar aura from Lifeless Thorn and knew that the young master had summoned him.
They immediately found a teahouse to watch the show. They also wanted to see how strong Kim No-myung was.
After seeing Kim No-myung easily kill Yi Nanquan, the two men were shocked and wanted to go back. Who would have thought that Bai Zizai and the other two would come?
The two men did not know Su Xinghe and Zhang Lingshan, but they had seen Bai Zizai last time. They had even cooperated with Shen Lang to suppress Bai Zizai.
The two men did not get up. Instead, they lowered their heads to avoid being discovered by Bai Zizai. Fortunately, Bai Zizai and the others were the heads of their families. They did not care about the people in the teahouse and did not look around, so they did not discover them.
They had heard the conversation between Su Xinghe and Bai Zizai. At that time, the two men had the same thought: Su Xinghe and the others were courting death. The four major families of Jiangcheng were no longer in Shen Lang's eyes.
After waiting for a while and waiting for Bai Zizai and the others to leave, the two men threw down a few copper coins and left the teahouse.
The guards of the Shen Family knew the two Xuan Ming Elders. The two Xuan Ming Elders were Shen Lang's confidants. The Gao Jianli lived in seclusion. Usually, when Shen Lang had something to tell them, the two Xuan Ming Elders would do it. Therefore, the guards knew them.
The two men arrived at Shen Lang's courtyard without any obstructions.
Seeing the two Xuan Ming Elders return, Shen Lang smiled and said, "You're back."
The two men cupped their fists and said, "Young Master, we brothers did not disappoint you. Ninth Master Feng has arrived safely."
"Mm, not bad. This is your reward. The Yin Inner Strength in this technique is very suitable for the two of you. As for the Sound Technique, it's up to you whether you want to learn it or not."
Shen Lang took out a book from his bosom and handed it to the two of them. He had no other choice. He did not have any good martial arts techniques in his heart. Other martial arts techniques were not suitable for Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming, so he could only use the Eight Notes of Heavenly Dragon to deal with them.
The two men took the book and wrote on it, "Eight Notes of the Heavenly Dragon."
The Eight Notes of the Heavenly Dragon was only a Black Level technique. It was useless to Shen Lang now, so he took it out as a reward.
When dealing with his subordinates, he had to show them both kindness and authority. Although absolute power could make his subordinates fearful, it would not make them submit completely. Although the system had guaranteed that these summoned people would not betray him, Shen Lang still felt that there was a need to use some methods.
