Chapter 96 Ultimatum To Meng Xiangyi

Zhang Clan Elder's expression is one of outrage and indignation, his voice shaking with anger. "How dare you attack us without warning or reason? This is an act of cowardice and betrayal!"

Ji Clan Elder's tone is cold and calculating, his face impassive. "We don't owe you any explanation, old man. Our clan needs to grow and expand, and we won't let anyone stand in our way."

Lin Clan Elder's voice is smooth and confident, his eyes gleaming with ambition. "Indeed. And we have reason to believe that the Zhang Clan has been hoarding valuable resources and keeping secrets from the other clans. We demand an equal share of what rightfully belongs to all of us."

Zhang Clan Elder's response is sharp and defensive, his eyes flashing with defiance. "That's ridiculous! We have always shared everything we have, and we have nothing to hide."

Ji Clan Elder's reply is dismissive and challenging, his gaze locked on the Zhang Clan Elder. "Then why did you suddenly become so successful? Why do you have access to knowledge and techniques that no one else does?"

Lin Clan Elder's voice is firm and resolute, his tone brooking no dissent. "We know that you have been hiding something, and we won't rest until we find out what it is. And if that means taking what we want by force, then so be it."

Zhang Clan Elder's response is fierce and determined, his eyes blazing with conviction. "You are making a grave mistake. We will defend ourselves and our clan with all our might. We will not bow down to your threats and aggression."

Ji Clan Elder's tone is confident and self-assured, his lips curling into a smirk. "You are welcome to try. But know that we are prepared for anything you throw at us."T/his chapter is updatd by nv((l)biin.co/m

Lin Clan Elder's voice is filled with conviction and zeal, his eyes flashing with excitement. "Indeed. The other clans will soon join us in this fight, and then you will know the true strength of our combined forces."

Zhang Clan Elder's reply is steadfast and resolute, his voice ringing with determination. "We may be outnumbered, but we will never give up. We will fight until our last breath to protect what is rightfully ours."

Ji Clan Elder's response is confident and challenging, his eyes narrowing with anticipation. "We shall see about that. The battle lines have been drawn, and there can only be one winner in this war."

Lin Clan Elder's final words are spoken with a sense of triumph and satisfaction, his voice ringing with anticipation. "Let the games begin."

As the three clans were embroiled in a heated exchange, Wang Jian discreetly kept a watchful eye on Xu Yuting, who was conferring with the City Lord to discuss the sudden and vicious attack on the Zhang Clan in Qianwei Town.

The City Lord was taken aback by this brazen assault on the Zhang Clan, who had never before faced such a dire situation since the rise of their most illustrious member, Zhang Fei.

Even Meng Xiangyi, the City Lord's own daughter, implored him to intervene and aid the Zhang Clan in their hour of need.

However, before the City Lord could even contemplate taking action to support the beleaguered Zhang Clan, his Meng Clan received a letter from the Dao of Alchemy Society, The Heavenly Amulet Master's Association, and The Celestial Talisman's Guild.

The message threatened to indefinitely cease all business dealings with the Meng Clan if they dared to interfere in the conflict between the clans.

Wang Jian swiftly made his way to the City Lord's mansion, and as he approached, the guards attempted to stop him in his tracks.

However, the mere emanation of his immense cultivation was enough to immobilize them, leaving them helpless and rooted to the ground.

Their strength paled in comparison to his, with the strongest among them merely reaching the Lord Realm. Thus, Wang Jian could effortlessly overpower them, leaving them immobilized on the ground.

As he approached the mansion, the pressure of his powerful aura radiated from his body, causing everyone inside to feel the impact immediately.

The City Lord and his associates shuddered in fear as they sensed the immense energy emanating from Wang Jian's body, causing their blood to run cold with terror.

Wang Jian made his way through the halls of the mansion, his footsteps echoing off the marble floors. Finally, he reached the living room, where he found Xu Yuting, Meng Xiangyi, and the City Lord.

With a sly grin on his face, he approached the City Lord and spoke, "Ah, so you must be the illustrious City Lord of this land. I have heard so much about you."

The City Lord, taken aback by the man's presence, replied, "Yes, I am the City Lord. And you are?"

"Wang Jian," he answered, his sinister smile widening. "I represent the Dao of Alchemy Society, The Heavenly Amulet Master's Association, and The Celestial Talisman's Guild."

The City Lord tensed up at those words, his eyes narrowing as he braced himself for whatever was to come. Xu Yuting and Meng Xiangyi also looked uneasy, unsure of what to expect from this powerful cultivator.

Wang Jian simply stood there, his gaze piercing as he surveyed the room. After a moment, he spoke again, "I understand that you have received a letter from the Dao of Alchemy Society, The Heavenly Amulet Master's Association, and The Celestial Talisman's Guild, threatening to halt all business with your clan if you interfere in the conflict between the clans."

The City Lord nodded slowly, his expression guarded.

Wang Jian chuckled, "Well, I'm sure you wouldn't want to risk losing such valuable allies. But don't worry; I'm not here to make enemies. In fact, I have a proposition for you."

"And what would that be?" The City Lord asked.

Wang Jian responded, "Break all ties with Zhang Fei, including the engagement of your daughter to him, and I will ensure that our associations have a long-standing alliance with your clan."

The City Lord's response was firm, "I cannot betray him in such a way. He saved me from a deadly illness, and I owe him my life!"

Wang Jian sneered at the City Lord's words. He then turned his attention to Meng Xiangyi, the City Lord's daughter, and asked her with a hint of malice, "I wonder who you value more, your father or Zhang Fei?"

Meng Xiangyi's expression turned into one of confusion and shock as she stammered, "What do you mean?"

Wang Jian chuckled darkly and continued, "If you choose your father, then I suggest you convince him to stay out of this conflict. If not, then I'm afraid the consequences will be dire."
