Chapter 1350: The Huang Family's Scheme, Bai Lianyue

Huang Yan's actions are really fast; to disgust the Bai Family, he will do anything.

Actually, high-end warfare is often like this—disgusting and dirty.

Over the next few days, the Bai Family was indeed disgusted, targeted by some people; whether senior or junior members, all were targeted.

Because of this, many died; the Bai Family initially didn't care—death is normal, after all families face various dangers daily; any family is like that, outside dangers abound, either facing savage beasts or the disgust of one's own kind.

Moreover, the major families and some loose cultivators also target them; fighting goes on daily, even these families cannot avoid it, life and death are normal, especially for the lower clan members—dying is utterly normal, after all these families are not the lofty sects above.

Even sects have deaths; this is quite normal.

But several days in a row people died, and the deceased were some valued talents of the Bai Family; this caught Bai Lianyue's attention, after a careful check she sent people to investigate, and they found clues.

Some people deliberately targeted the Bai Family; they were loose cultivators, members of small families, or… outlaws; this group acted ruthlessly, using any means to achieve their goal.

The Bai Family employed some means, caught a batch of people, used some simple methods, and discovered something amiss; precisely, someone was targeting the Bai Family, but who the mastermind was remains unknown, well hidden.

Bai Lianyue sent people to investigate; soon they got a result—the Bai Family's administrators all pointed to the Huang Family, yet there was no definitive answer.

"Family Head, the Huang Family is bullying us terribly; they want to annex our Bai Family but use such disgusting methods, attacking some of our younger clan members—clearly they aim to uproot the Bai Family."

"Huang Yan of the Huang Family is too disgusting; this matter cannot just be left as is."

"Family Head, this debt must be settled clearly; the Huang Family must pay the price."

"Family Head, we won't sit and wait for doom; we must counterattack."

Several people spoke in succession, their voices fierce; they had been provoked and wanted to crush the Huang Family severely.

If this behavior is not stopped, the Huang Family will continue; to the Bai Family, it is unforgivable and unpardonable.

Among them, the Bai Family's Second Elder was the angriest; he stood up and said angrily: "Family Head, let me go cause trouble for the Huang Family; I will make that brat Huang Yan pay the price—daring to lay hands on our Bai Family people, he is provoking the Bai Family."

"Do they really think that because the Huang Family has recovered somewhat these years they can act so high-handed? Our Bai Family is not a cat or dog to be toyed with; if we don't give Huang Yan a little color to see, he won't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Bai Lianyue sat above, listening to the reports of the elders below, understanding their anger; she did not speak immediately, but looked at the Grand Elder who had been sitting there all along, who had not spoken from beginning to end.

"Grand Elder, what do you think?"

The Bai Family's Grand Elder sat in the frontmost seat, his position relatively forward, closest to Bai Lianyue.

The other elders all turned to look at him; even the most furious Second Elder sat down, his anger suppressed.

"Family Head, this cannot be left unsettled; as the Second Elder said, the Huang Family is provoking the Bai Family; if we endure in silence, the Huang Family will become more arrogant—we must strike hard once, make that brat Huang Yan feel pain, and then he will naturally not act again."

"The Huang Family is ambitious; these years they have been provoking the Bai Family and even want to annex it—they are dreaming."

"Back then the Huang Family suffered a great war, heavy losses, and was suppressed by our Bai Family for years; now they want revenge—hah, not so easy."

The Grand Elder stood up and declared directly: "Our Bai Family can suppress the Huang Family for a day, and then keep doing so; even if the Huang Family has partially recovered its strength in recent years, it is still no match for our Bai Family."

"Moreover, the Huang Family cannot possibly launch an all-out assault; around the Mangshan Mountain Range there are not only our Bai Family but many other families, plus the Mangshan Demon Palace exists, and beyond that the Tian Du Men suppresses them."

"The Tian Du Men will not allow us to act; if things blow up, they will surely intervene to suppress."

Around the Mangshan Mountain Range, battles have always existed, both open and covert.

The Tian Du Men will not manage these matters; they let them fight internally, each side consuming the other's strength, reaching a balance.

A single dominant house is not what the Tian Du Men wish to see.

And the Mangshan Demon Palace also hopes for human internal strife; thus these humans will have no mind to govern the Mangshan Demon Palace, and when humans fall into chaos, it benefits the Mangshan Demon Palace—always it has wanted the outside to fall into disorder, the more chaos the better.

"Grand Elder, although that's so, the Tian Du Men would hate for us to fight; they'd prefer both sides lose, that's what they want to see." The Second Elder stood up and spoke bluntly: "Our Bai Family's relations with the Tian Du Men are not good; to replace the Tian Du Men we must annex the Huang Family."

"The Huang Family's thinking is the same as ours—they want to rise, and our Bai Family is their greatest threat."

The Huang and Bai Families have had grudges for a long time; both want to annex the other.

Both are major local families, controlling considerable land and resources; annexing each other would give them more resources and enable rapid rise—this is inevitable.

"Second Elder, settle down; I naturally know how the Huang Family thinks—this brat Huang Yan is far more formidable than his father Huang Longji, even more than his grandfather; in just a few years he has already begun to show his fangs."

"Recently, the Huang Family has been making constant small moves; moreover, he does not act directly but has others act, has other small families act, and even incited some of our Bai Family's enemies to act; although we don't know how he does it, the fact that he can achieve this shows he is not simple, cannot be underestimated."

"Don't underestimate Huang Yan; moreover, I have received news that the Huang Family seems to have obtained some opportunity in the Mangshan Mountain Range, their overall strength is rapidly increasing, surpassing the former Huang Family, and all this is inseparable from Huang Yan."

Bai Lianyue frowned tightly and asked: "Can we know what opportunity the Huang Family obtained?"

The other elders all looked over, fixing their gaze on the Grand Elder.

Even the Second Elder, eyes tiger-like, his heart stirred—could an opportunity that lets a family rise be simple?
