As the Ice Crystal Jade Lotus Pill began to be refined, the pain that Wang Chen endured was beyond imagination. The bone-chilling coldness made Wang Chen feel as if his blood had frozen.
Layers of cold air rose from every pore on Wang Chen's body, forming a thick fog that enveloped Wang Chen.
The entire cultivation room's temperature suddenly dropped God knows how much!
Under the dual effects of the True Yuan Dragon and the Congealing Dew, the Ice Crystal Jade Lotus Pill began to be refined!
However, the Ice Crystal Jade Lotus Pill was obviously many times harder to refine than the Congealing Dew. Moreover, Wang Chen did not dare to refine it rashly, so he could only do it bit by bit.
Traces of cold energy were refined, and the holy energy was quickly guided by Wang Chen into his meridians and dantian.
Along with this energy, there was also a portion of the Congealing Dew. Therefore, at this moment, when Wang Chen was refining the Ice Crystal Jade Lotus Pill, he did not stop using the Congealing Dew.
Waves of energy entered his body, and Wang Chen felt that his body's recovery speed had increased by an unknown amount …
Time passed slowly, and Wang Chen recovered bit by bit.
The entire cultivation room was shrouded in cold fog, like a paradise on earth!
…
Northern Border! Tianfeng Kingdom, Sin City!
At this moment, in the Wang family's mansion in Sin City, the atmosphere was extremely gloomy.
Wang Chen had disappeared for nearly a year. In this year, the Northern Border could be said to have been turned upside down, and no one knew how much had changed.
At this moment, in the great hall of the Wang family's mansion, a group of core members of the Wang family gathered. Sitting at the front were Xiang Qiankan, Ke Er, and Wang Lin.
Following them, in two rows, sat Kuang Ren, Hei Xiong, Zhang Hu, Cheng Liang, Sun Yifan, Yang Sha, Wan Ze, and Liu Tian.
These people could definitely be considered as the core members of the Wang family.
Almost all of them were members of the Wang family who had followed the Wang family since they first established themselves in the City of Sin. Of course, there were also a few new faces who came from Black Sea City.
There were more than ten people in the hall, and each and every one of them had a grave expression on their faces.
"I received the news. The Nangong Family has joined forces with the other two wealthy families in the north to divide up our Wang family! "
After a moment of silence, Sun Yifan said in a deep voice.
"Nan Gong family? The Dongfang Clan and the Dali Empire's Huang Clan? "Hearing Sun Yifan's words, Xiang Qiankan narrowed his eyes and asked.
"En. If nothing went wrong, these three families would definitely be involved! These families are all rich and powerful families of the Northern Borderline, and … maybe … some other families will join in. At the very least, some of the vassal families of the Nangong Family would come! This time, the situation we're facing will be extremely grim! "Sun Yifan took a deep breath and smiled bitterly.
"With our current strength … it will be very difficult for us to resist. If it was a year ago, even if we couldn't block it, it wouldn't be difficult for us to avoid it. But now … "Sun Yifan sighed.
Wang Chen had been missing for a year! In this one year, the Wang family could be said to have suffered a series of heavy blows.
After searching for Wang Chen for three months without any results, the Nangong Family's revenge came.
First, they sent out a large number of experts and joined forces with another powerful family of the Northern Borderline, the Dongfang Clan, to launch a lightning fast attack on the Wang family's branch in Black Sea City!
In that attack, of the three hundred plus members of the Wang family in Black Sea City, more than a hundred were killed or injured. Of the remaining two hundred people, some escaped, and some surrendered. In the end, less than seventy people escaped, less than eighty people!!
Of these seventy people, half of them were brought over from the City of Sin! In order to take down Black Sea City, the City of Sin had sent more than a hundred people to Black Sea City. After a series of battles, less than eighty people were left! Among the eighty people, about half of them died in this battle, leaving less than forty people! Therefore, among the seventy people who escaped from Black Sea City, nearly half were people of this type.
The remaining half were recruited from Black Sea City.
In this battle, the Wang family could be said to have suffered heavy losses! Almost all the Emperor Martial Artists recruited from Black Sea City died, and the King Martial Artists were also lost.
In the end, if not for Blood Demon's Blood Union and the elders of Xingchen School who stayed behind to help, even a portion of them would not have been able to escape.
Even so, in the end, Blood Demon was also heavily injured, the Blood Union suffered heavy losses, and the elders of Xingchen School returned with heavy injuries! Kuangren almost lost his life, Sun Yifan was also heavily injured, and Zhang Hu lost an arm!
This was the first major blow they suffered after Wang Chen disappeared for three months.
In this battle, the Wang family lost Black Sea City, which they had painstakingly taken over, and there were countless casualties. This directly caused more than a third of the Wang family's forces to fall!
This battle also opened the way for those who were eyeing Wang Chen to make a move.
After this battle, the Dongfang Clan completely stood on the opposite side of the Wang family, and began to move against the Wang family!
Under such circumstances, the Wang family could only gradually give up on the businesses and territories that they had originally expanded. Now, the Nangong Clan, the Dongfang Clan, and the Dali Empire's Huang Clan had forced them to retreat to Nefas City.
In nearly a year, Wang Chen had been beaten back to his original state.
Of course, this might be considered a very lucky thing. After all, the Wang family had lost Wang Chen. Wang Chen could be said to be the backbone of the Wang family. His departure caused a disturbance in many people. Under such circumstances, in the face of the alliance of the three great clans, the Wang family's ability to persist until now had already made many people in the northern borderline look at them in a new light.
Among this, the help of Xingchen School could not be erased!
If not for Xingchen School's help, if not for Xingchen School's resistance against these clans, their Nefas City might have already fallen.
However, even with the help of Xingchen School, the Wang family had suffered heavy losses in the past year and was no longer as glorious as before!
Wang Chen's disappearance caused the Wang family to panic. The loss of their backbone caused the Wang family's morale to gradually fall apart. In addition, the forces led by the Nangong Clan launched an attack on the Wang family and lost a number of people. This caused some internal turmoil in the Wang family.
In the end, under such a dangerous situation, some people chose to leave, while others were purged.
Today, there were less than two hundred people left in the Wang family. However, these two hundred people were definitely the most resolute people.
However, under such circumstances, how could they resist the joint attack of the Nangong Clan and the others?
Moreover, the Tianfeng Kingdom had also taken action.
A month ago, the Tianfeng Kingdom summoned Zi Lan to return to the capital. After Zi Lan left, she did not return to Nefas City.
This meant that the Tianfeng Kingdom's royal family, who had long been jealous of the Wang family, was also planning to take action!
With Xiang Qiankan and Sun Yifan's intelligence, how could they not see this? Even Zi Lan knew. However, Zi Lan had no reason to refuse. Under the royal family's forceful summon, she could only return to Tianfeng City.
Originally, she said that she would return within a month. However, she had not returned yet. What this meant was self-evident.
These few days, the Tianfeng Kingdom's royal family was also making frequent moves. There were faint signs that they were going to take action against the Wang family. This caused the Wang family to fall into an extremely dangerous situation.
If the Tianfeng Kingdom's royal family were to take action, could the Wang family resist?
As for the Xingchen School, in order to contain the Tianfeng Kingdom's royal family, they could no longer help the Wang family. If Xingchen School were to help the Wang family, the Tianfeng Kingdom's royal family would definitely take action against the Wang family. They seemed to have reached some sort of tacit understanding. Or it could be said that Xingchen School, under the pressure of the Tianfeng Kingdom, had no choice but to remain silent.
At the very least, this could stabilize the Tianfeng Kingdom and prevent them from taking action!
Because once the Tianfeng Kingdom took action, it would be as swift as a thunderbolt!
Back then, Mount Donglin had been destroyed in a single night. What about the Wang family?
How much help could the Xingchen School provide?
Under such circumstances, the Xingchen School could only remain silent and wait.
Everything seemed to be extremely unfavorable to the Wang family.
As the Xingchen School was in a deadlock with the Tianfeng Kingdom's royal family, the Nangong family and the Dongfang family began to take action. As such, the Wang family was in a precarious situation.
This time, if the three families were to join forces and attack the City of Sin, how long could the Wang family last?
If nothing unexpected happened, they would probably take action within the next two months.
Thinking of this, Sun Yifan's expression became extremely solemn!
"Damn the Nangong family!" Hearing Xiang Qiankan and Sun Yifan's words, everyone in the room fell silent. After a while, Kuangren cursed fiercely.
"Hmph, when the boss was here, these guys didn't say a word. Now that the boss hasn't returned, they're acting arrogant! A bunch of bastards. If they piss me off, I'll destroy these families! "
Kuangren said fiercely.
For nearly a year, it could be said that he had been suppressing his anger. Now, it finally erupted.
If it wasn't for the agreement between the Northern Border and the Central Continent, which prohibited people from the Central Continent from interfering in the Northern Border's affairs, Kuangren wouldn't be so sullen.
Whether it was his Lei family or Yoo Shin-yan's Ryu family, which one of them couldn't deal with the Nangong family? However, they couldn't do anything!
This caused Kuangren to have nowhere to vent his anger. At this moment, he could only curse fiercely.
Kuangren's words caused the hall to once again fall into silence.
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? At most, we'll fight them. If we die, we die together. Even if I die, I'll drag a few of them down with me! "
Hei Xiong couldn't help but say loudly.
"Right, even if we die, we'll drag a few of them down with us!"
A trace of resentment flashed in Zhang Hu's eyes as he cursed in a deep voice.
At this moment, the empty left sleeve was slightly fluttering, but it was empty inside! How could he not take revenge for losing his arm?
"If we don't fight, we'll die a horrible death. Now, perhaps we should choose to avoid the other party's sharp edge! "Wan Ze said in a deep voice.
He was a relatively calm person. He knew that fighting recklessly under such circumstances would only cause the Wang family to be consigned to eternal damnation.
"Do you want the Wang family to be gone just like that? When the family head returns, how will you face him? "Sun Yifan shouted at the Kuangren and Hei Xiong.
Due to the outstanding performance in Black Sea City, Sun Yifan had the absolute right to speak within the Wang family. Under such circumstances, perhaps only he, Xiang Qiankan, Zi Lan, Wang Lin, and Ke 'er could suppress the Kuangren and Hei Xiong.
Zi Lan wasn't around, Ke 'er didn't speak, and Wang Lin remained silent. That left only Sun Yifan and Xiang Qiankan.
