"What?"
Without waiting for Wen Zhuo to finish, Wen Hong jumped up and exclaimed, "There's such a thing? Why … why didn't I know about it? "
"It's not just you."
Wen Zhuo sneered, "Even I … only found out after asking."
"I understand now."
Wen Hong said in realization, "The family head obtained the method to control the Realm Stone from Wen Xian. In exchange, he gave the Wen family branch of the Heavenly Court to Wen Xian. Now, he's afraid that Wen Xian will leak the secret or that Wen Xian will threaten his position as the family head, so he made the first move. "
"That should be the case."
Wen Zhuo nodded, "Although I don't know why Wen Quan sold the Wen family branch of the Heavenly Court to the Ji family, what Wen Qing said must be true!"
Wen Hong said in disdain, "What else could it be? He must be afraid that Wen Xian will threaten his position as the family head! "
"No, no."
Wen Zhuo shook his head, "The Ji family isn't very strong in the Heavenly Court. Wen Xian has always been honest in the Heavenly Court. If there wasn't a special reason, Wen Quan wouldn't risk selling the 130,000 Wen family disciples!"
Wen Hong thought for a moment and shook his head, "We'll have to ask Wen Quan about this."
"What if Wen Quan doesn't say anything?"
Wen Zhuo said with a smile.
"Why would he say anything?"
Wen Hong smiled bitterly.
"Then we'll have to force him to say it."
A meaningful smile appeared on Wen Zhuo's face as he said, "We'll force him to say it. In addition to Wen Qing, and … and the disciples of the Luo Yi Merchant Alliance!"
"What do you mean?"
Wen Hong asked back meaningfully.
"I've already asked Wen Qing."
Wen Zhuo said, "We can invite him and the disciples of the Luo Yi Merchant Alliance to Ink Qilin Mansion's Ying Yuan Hall to confront Wen Quan!"
"Ah?"
Wen Hong was shocked. He asked, "Granduncle, when did you send the message? I was monitoring the confrontation between the two armies and didn't see it at all! "
"You don't have to ask about this."
Wen Zhuo smiled, "You just need to bring people to meet Wen Qing!"
"That's not a problem."
Wen Hong nodded and said, "Disciple is in charge of the Guardian Formation, so I still have this bit of convenience. I wonder what Granduncle's request is?"
Wen Zhuo took out a Stygian Immortal Eye and handed it to Wen Hong. "My request and the time and place of the meeting are all on it. This matter should be handled by me personally, but Wen Quan will definitely be suspicious after being questioned by everyone. It's inevitable that he'll cause trouble for me …"
Just as he said that, a boy's voice came from outside, "Master, there's a message from the Family Head. He's asking the Family Head to Ying Yuan Hall for a meeting without any delay!"
"Granduncle ~"
Wen Hong exclaimed, "You're really a genius!"
"Hehe ~"
Wen Zhuo stood up and transmitted his voice in a low voice, "That's nothing. You'll know more once I become the Patriarch!"
"Okay ~"
Wen Hong practically didn't hesitate in the slightest as he nodded and agreed. "Disciple will go patrol the grand formation right away!"
Ying Yuan Hall was where the Wen Family Head gathered the elders to discuss important matters. Wen Hong didn't have the right to enter, only Wen Zhuo could. Therefore, when Wen Zhuo heard the boy's message, he understood something.
Sure enough, when he entered Ying Yuan Hall, he saw Wen Quan sitting on a bamboo chair with a serious expression on his face.
There were also a few elders and some of the more senior members of the family sitting below him. Everyone was drinking tea expressionlessly, unlike when they were discussing how to deal with the Commerce Alliance.
Seeing Wen Zhuo enter, a young man sitting near Wen Quan put down his teacup and said to Wen Quan, "Family Head, Wen Zhuo is here too. You should tell us about Wen Xian and the Wen Family of the Heavenly Court, right?"
Wen Zhuo looked at the young man named Wen Xiao and knew that he was just as suspicious as he was. A smile appeared on his face as he walked to a bamboo chair and sat down.
"That's right ~"
Opposite Wen Xiao was a middle-aged man named Wen Yuan. Like Wen Zhuo, he was the one who fought with Wen Quan for the family head position but failed. He also said with a smile, "This is Ying Yuan Hall, not Xuan Cheng Hall. Family Head can tell us the ins and outs of the matter without any scruples!"
Wen Quan was a little angry. He put down his teacup and asked with a somewhat urgent voice, "Wen Yuan, what do you mean by this? What do I have to scruple about? Not to mention that Ying Yuan Hall is where we discuss confidential matters, I can tell you everything about the Wen Family of the Heavenly Court even if it's in Xuan Cheng Hall! "
"Family Head ~"
Wen Yuan put on a fake smile and said, "You don't mean anything by that. We're here to help you discuss countermeasures on how to cover up the … flaws in the Wen Family of the Heavenly Court. If you don't tell us everything, how can we …"
Without waiting for Wen Yuan to finish, Wen Quan slapped the armrest of the bamboo chair and scolded, "Why didn't you hear what I said? You're taking the words of the Commerce Alliance that sowed discord to heart?? Who do you believe? "
"Family Head ~"
Wen Xiao said, "We don't believe anyone, we believe the truth! Family Head, don't you think that your explanation in Xuan Cheng Hall was too simple and had many loopholes? We didn't say anything in front of so many disciples because we were worried about your reputation. Now that we're going to take revenge for the 130,000 Wen Family disciples and work together to defend against the millions of Commerce Alliance's troops, why don't you tell us the truth? "
"That's right ~"
Wen Zhuo took a sip of tea and smiled, "After all, it's the lives of 130,000 Wen Family disciples. We can't not be cautious!"
Wen Quan was so angry that he laughed. He glanced at the seven people in Ying Yuan Hall who were either in high positions or were highly respected. He said loudly, "You're working together to force me to abdicate, right?"
"Family Head ~"
Looking at Wen Quan, Wen Zhuo was very happy. He waved his hand and said, "What do you mean by that? What did we do? Why are you putting such a big label on us? We just want to know what happened to the Wen Family of the Heavenly Court! "
"Hmph ~"
Looking at Wen Yuan, he was not as polite as Wen Zhuo. He snorted and said, "So what if you're forcing me to abdicate? If what Wen Qing said is true and you're working together with the Ji Family to send the 130,000 Wen Family disciples to the tiger's den, you're the sinner of the Wen Family … "
Without waiting for Wen Yuan to finish, the livid Wen Quan suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a ray of black light. It hit Wen Yuan's face.
Wen Yuan was very close to Wen Quan and was arrogantly trying to force him to abdicate. Even though he was already on guard, he didn't expect Wen Quan to attack so decisively.
With a soft "poof", Wen Yuan's head was smashed into pieces.
"Hum ~"
Only then did there was a roar from the black light. The cobblestone-like Boundary Stone had now shrunk to the size of a wicker basket. With another "boom", Wen Yuan's celestial body was smashed into meat paste!
