The Tianxiong clan was located in the northern part of Wake City. At this moment, in the main courtyard of the Tianxiong clan, there was a grand meeting hall. The current patriarch of the Tianxiong clan, Tianxiong Lie, was sitting at the head of the table. Below him were two rows of people of different ages. Each of them had an extraordinary aura, and their eyes shined brightly.
A year ago, Jianchen had caused great losses to the Tianxiong clan, causing them to lose their position as the number one clan in Wake City. However, those who knew the strength of the Tianxiong clan knew that even though they had suffered great losses a year ago, their peak strength hadn't decreased by much. In terms of strength, the Tianxiong clan was still the number one clan in Wake City.
Among them, the most eye-catching person was Tianxiong Lie. Although his strength was still at the intermediate Great Saint Master level, he had the earth attribute Saint Force, which gave him a unique advantage. Even peak Great Saint Masters weren't necessarily his match.
However, in terms of controlling the businesses in Wake City, the Tianxiong Clan was no longer as strong as before. This was because the death of Tianxiong Lie's only son, Tianxiong Kang, had been a huge blow to him. He no longer had the heart to manage the clan's businesses. Therefore, although the Tianxiong Clan was still the strongest clan in Wake City, in terms of business, it was declining by the day. In the past year, Tianxiong Lie had become much more haggard, and a few strands of white hair had appeared on his head.
Tianxiong Lie smiled as he looked at the people sitting below him. These people were all familiar faces in Wake City. If anyone recognized them, they would be shocked to the point that their jaws would drop. This was because these people were the leaders of the large mercenary groups in Wake City. The mercenary groups they represented were all quite famous in Wake City. Each mercenary group had over a hundred members, and their strength wasn't weak. Among them, there were even two old men who were the leaders of two large clans in Wake City.
These people all had very high statuses in Wake City. Unless something big happened, it was very rare to see them. But today, they were all gathered in the Tianxiong clan. This was truly shocking.
"Everyone, I have invited you here today because I have a matter that I hope you can help me with." Tianxiong Lie said in a low voice as he stared at the representatives of the various mercenary groups.
"Haha, Tianxiong Lie, we've known each other for more than ten years. If there's anything you need my help with, just ask. As long as it's within my power, I won't refuse." As soon as Tianxiong Lie's voice fell, a tall and sturdy middle-aged man sitting below said with a smile.
"That's right, Tianxiong Lie. Given our friendship, if you need any help, just ask. Don't be so wishy-washy, like a sissy." The one who spoke was a dark-skinned burly man. His upper body was bare, and he only wore a pair of shorts. The bulging muscles on his body gave people a strong visual impact. It was as if this burly man could easily punch through a steel plate with a single punch.
Soon after, the other people sitting in the main hall also expressed their support for Tianxiong Lie.
Hearing these words, Tianxiong Lie's serious face finally revealed a trace of a smile. But then, as if he had thought of something, the smile on his face was replaced by a deep sadness.
Looking around, Tianxiong Lie's eyes revealed a trace of sorrow as he said: "Brothers, do you remember the incident of my son, Tianxiong Kang, being killed a year ago?"
Hearing this, the people below looked at each other, their faces becoming serious. But they didn't say anything, and quietly waited for Tianxiong Lie to continue.
Tianxiong Lie continued, "A year ago, an outsider broke into Wake City. Not only did he kill my son, Tianxiong Kang, he also brought great losses to the Tianxiong Clan. Although I personally chased after him, he was too cunning. He took advantage of the Magic Beast Mountain Range's complex terrain to kill many of my clan's experts. In the end, he escaped."
Towards the end of his speech, Tianxiong Lie's face was filled with endless hatred. He hated Jianchen to the bone. Not only because Jianchen had killed his son, but also because he had been toyed with by Jianchen in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. To him, this was the greatest humiliation. Ever since he had started cultivating, he had never been put in such a difficult position by someone so much weaker than him.
"Tianxiong Lie, could it be that the murderer of your son has come to Wake City again?" The dark skinned man asked in a muffled voice.
Tianxiong Lie nodded slightly and said: "I'm sure everyone knows what happened yesterday. The Zhou Mercenary Group and the Zhou Clan were exterminated in a single day. After investigation, we found out that the person responsible for the extermination of the Zhou Clan and the Zhou Mercenary Group was a youth who looked to be around 20 years old. His name is Jianchen."
Hearing this, the faces of the leaders of the various mercenary groups became somewhat dignified, mixed with a strong sense of surprise. They had just received the news about the Zhou Clan's annihilation, but it wasn't as accurate as the news that Tianxiong Lie had received. What made them surprised was that the person who had annihilated the Zhou Clan and the Zhou Mercenary Group in a single day was actually a young man who was only about 20 years old. This made them feel that it was hard to believe.
After hearing Tianxiong Lie's words, the entire hall became silent. After a while, the silence was finally broken by an old man: "Tianxiong Lie, if this Jianchen was able to exterminate the Zhou Clan in a single day, then his strength shouldn't be weak."
Tianxiong Lie slightly shook his head, frowned, and thought for a while before saying: "A year ago, I fought with him, so I was very clear about his strength. At most, he was a Saint Master. At that time, he couldn't even withstand a single blow from me. However, his speed was very fast. Even if I wanted to catch up to him, it would take some effort. Because of this, he was able to escape from my hands time and time again. Furthermore, his sword attack speed was also very fast. Those who were at the same level as him wouldn't be able to last long against him. With this method, he was able to kill many of my Tianxiong Clan's Saint Masters in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Now that it has been more than a year, even if his strength has increased, it would be very limited. No matter how outstanding his talent is, I don't believe that he could have broken through from the Saint Master level to the peak of the Great Saint Master level or even the Earth Saint Master level in a short period of time. Therefore, to exterminate the Zhou Clan, he must have asked for help. "
"Tianxiong Lie, are you saying that you want us to help you capture the murderer of your son?" An ordinary looking middle aged man asked.
