For so many years, the nine great families had not been controlled by anyone. Deep down, they were naturally unwilling to become slaves and be controlled by others.
However, the Holy City was mysterious and somewhat tempting to them.
Thinking about the six primordial spirits that the Holy City Lord had, it was said that he could even kill immortals. However, they did not know whether this was true or not.
After all, they were able to understand the information of the Holy City and their safety depended on the few words left behind by their ancestors.
Therefore, their understanding of the Holy City was quite limited. They actually did not know what the Holy City had become after it was destroyed and where it was at that time.
Now that the Holy City had suddenly appeared and might even want them to serve it as their master, it was difficult for them to accept such a thing for the time being.
However, they also learned some things about the prosperity of the Holy City from the information left behind by their ancestors.
The Holy City was the center of the world at that time, and the world served it as its master. It controlled a lot of wealth and resources and used all the talents in the world.
One could imagine how powerful the Holy City was at that time. If those great families had not rebelled, perhaps the world would still be the Holy City's.
Now that the Holy City had made a comeback, they did not know how much confidence they had.
If the Holy City was very powerful now, they would not mind serving it as their master. However, if the Holy City was only struggling at death's door, it was too risky for them to gamble with the lives of the great families.
"Even if that's the case, the Chen family might have been forced. After all, even if the Holy City still exists now, it may not be the Holy City of the past. Therefore, there may not be any benefits in following them!
Otherwise, why didn't they directly inform the nine great families and use such an inconspicuous method to control the Chen family? "Feng Kaiji said.
"That's why we don't know what to do now. Should we tell this matter to the great families and inquire about the Holy City's information?
Even if we don't obey the Holy City now, since the Holy City knows of our existence, they may not leave us alone! "Jiang Wuya said.
"Actually, I am quite worried!" Feng Kaiji said worriedly.
"Worried about what?"
"If the Holy City was the one who caused the conflict between the dynasties, then if we serve the Holy City as our master, won't we be in direct conflict with the dynasties?" Feng Kaiji said.
"Think about it carefully. Back then, the world belonged to the Holy City. But now, everything in the cultivation world is controlled by the dynasty. This is basically taking away the benefits of the Holy City. Therefore, the person who is secretly dealing with the Dynasty is most likely the Holy City! "Jiang Wuya said after thinking for a while.
"Wuya, do you think there's a possibility? Back then, the Sacred City was in charge of all the forces in the world. In the end, some of them betrayed the Sacred City. Later on, the Holy City was gone. What about the forces that betrayed them? Also gone? "Feng Kaiji said.
"You mean … Dynasty?" After being reminded by Feng Kaiji, Jiang Wuya suddenly came to his senses and seemed to have thought of something.
"That's right. Don't you find it strange? Since they had already destroyed the Holy City, they had definitely won. It was impossible for them to disappear along with the Holy City.
Right now, in the cultivation world, the dynasty was the strongest and had the widest sphere of influence. Perhaps they had occupied the territory of the Holy City back then! That's why Holy City is dealing with Dynasty now! "Feng Kaiji said.
"Well, what you said is somewhat reasonable. But back then, those traitors fought with the Holy City. They might have perished together, so they are no longer there. Later on, it just so happened that the dynasty took the opportunity to rise. That's why it has its current territory. This is also possible! "Jiang Wuya said.
"However, how did the dynasty rise? Now that it has appeared in the Holy City, it will definitely become the enemy of the Holy City. If the Holy City wants to rise again, it will naturally have to take back those things. "Feng Kaiji said.
"Indeed, so the Holy City and the dynasty are destined to become enemies!"
"If that's the case, then we won't look for the dynasty to cooperate anymore. If the Holy City finds out that we have betrayed them, we will definitely not have a good ending! "Feng Kaiji said.
Previously, their plan was to find out the force behind the attack on the dynasty. Then, they would use this information to exchange for some spots for their families to enter the dead zone.
But now that they knew that the force behind the attack was most likely the Holy City, the situation had completely changed.
"We can't do this anymore. Although we will not serve the Holy City as our master, we can't betray the Holy City either. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious. Moreover, we can't betray the ancestral teachings!" Jiang Wuya nodded and said.
"Sigh! It seems that the world is really going to be chaotic. Can we, the nine big families, still stay out of it? "Feng Kaiji said helplessly.
They didn't expect that the Holy City, which had disappeared for so many years, would reappear again. The world was destined to not be peaceful.
The appearance of the Holy City would definitely cause the situation of the Cultivation World to change again. Moreover, they used to be the forces of the Holy City. This made it very difficult for them.
"The Chen Family might have already become the pawns of the Holy City. Let's tell this news to the other families. Everyone should carefully study the problem of the Holy City. After all, the ancestral teachings cannot be disobeyed! "Jiang Wuya said.
"Alright!"

A few days later, in the Situ Family.
Situ Xiong had just returned to the Situ Family for a day. Situ Yongkang also returned to the Situ Family, but his complexion didn't look good.
Moreover, Situ Xiong had sent so many guards to protect him, but only a few came back. Even the Old Ancestor, who was secretly protecting him, had a very bad complexion. It seemed that he was injured.
"Old Ancestor, what's going on? Who injured you like this? "When Situ Xiong saw this situation, he was immediately shocked.
"Don't ask so much first. Find a safe place, I have something to tell you!" The old man waved his hand and said.
Although his complexion wasn't very good right now, his body didn't have much of a problem. However, it would take a long time for him to recover.
"Alright!" Situ Xiong didn't know what was going on, but there was an inexplicable worry in his heart.
This was because Situ Yongkang had brought his people to ambush Cheng Yu. Although he felt that it was unlikely that Situ Yongkang would encounter Cheng Yu, he was still a little worried.
"Yongkang, come along as well!" The old man said to Situ Yongkang.
"Yes!" Situ Yongkang was now a lot more honest. After the battle with Cheng Yu, he finally understood that he didn't have the qualifications to be arrogant.
Compared to Cheng Yu, he was too weak. He was so weak that he didn't even have the qualifications to fight with Cheng Yu.
After a while, Situ Xiong and the other two arrived at a room.
"Old Ancestor, are your injuries really okay?" Situ Xiong looked at the old man and said with some worry.
