Wang Youjun secretly instructed his companions to keep an eye on Yun Jianyue and Xie Daoyun.

The elders nodded in agreement. Just as Wang Youjun was about to rush up to the platform to retrieve the three divine talismans, the elders also moved. However, instead of attacking Yun Jianyue and the other two women, they rushed towards the three divine talismans on the platform.

"Old Eight, what are you doing?" Wang Youjun was both shocked and furious, never expecting these people to make this choice.

One of them was clearly the eighth brother he was talking about, and he laughed, "As the saying goes, the divine talisman is obtained by the capable. If the patriarch can obtain it, why can't we?"

Wang Youjun's face darkened: "Are you trying to rebel?"

The other person replied, "Patriarch, you flatter us. We are all members of the Wang family. Everyone is working for the Wang family, so what's wrong with that?"

Wang Youjun's face turned ashen: "As the head of the family, it is only natural that I should be in charge of these divine talismans. If everyone takes one, then orders will be issued to many different people, and the Wang family will be in chaos."

"What's all the commotion about? The reason why the Wang family has become one of the top families in the world for so many years is because of the mutual supervision and encouragement between the family head and the elders. But when it came to the generation of the family head, everything changed after he obtained that special red and yellow talisman."

"If the patriarch obtains the three divine talismans, how will we survive? We'll probably suffer the same fate as those who were just thrown into the thunderstorm."

"Very well, so you all conspired all along," Wang Youjun laughed angrily. "But do you really think you few can snatch the divine talisman from me?"

“We are no match for you one-on-one, but now that the four of us are working together, what do we have to fear?” one of the bearded men retorted. “Do you think you can rely on that good-for-nothing son who only knows how to play around with women?”

Wang Neishi, who had been watching this turn of events from a distance with a stunned expression, suddenly blushed and said, "You can say whatever you want, but why are you cursing me?"

Wang Youjun's eyes turned cold, and just as he was about to make a move, the Eighth Elder spoke up first: "Patriarch, whether you get it or we get it, at least it will be in the hands of the Wang family. It can be considered that the good stuff will not go to outsiders. But if we fight to the death, it will only benefit those two women, which would be a loss."

“That’s good. Why don’t we join forces to deal with them first, and then compete for ownership of these three talismans?” Wang Youjun nodded.

Xie Daoyun was startled and quickly took a few steps back, becoming highly vigilant.

Yun Jianyue secretly transmitted her voice: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Xie Daoyun was taken aback, not understanding why she was so confident, considering that they were at a significant disadvantage at the moment.

Just then, the Eighth Elder shook his head: "Patriarch, you misunderstand. What I meant was that you go and stop the two women, and we will go and get the three talismans."

Wang Youjun's face darkened: "Are you making fun of me?"

“Of course not,” the Eighth Elder explained. “Patriarch, you are the strongest. If we attack together, we might be ambushed by you halfway through, and then we will have no ability to fight back.”

"On the contrary, even if we obtain the divine talisman, with our strength, we will only be able to close the gap with you, so you don't need to worry too much."

“But if you get the divine talisman, we will all be at your mercy. In that case, we have no choice but to attack you first.”

Xie Daoyun, who was listening from a distance, was dumbfounded and couldn't help but admire Yun Jianyue more and more. Her grasp of human nature was truly far beyond what I could achieve.

"Threatening me?" Wang Youjun laughed angrily.

"This is not a threat, just a matter of reason. The head of the family will still be the head of the family, and with several powerful assistants like us, all the other aristocratic families in the world combined cannot compare to our Wang family," the Eighth Elder said.

"Eighth Brother, I must say, you are indeed very good at bewitching people, but you have misjudged one thing." Wang Youjun sighed.

The Eighth Elder's heart skipped a beat: "What?"

"You overestimate yourselves and underestimate me!" As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Youjun rushed to the side of the weakest of the four, the one with the long beard.

The long-bearded man was terrified. He dodged to the side while unleashing a barrage of unexpected attacks and magical weapons at the suddenly appearing Wang Youjun.

Unexpectedly, a blank scroll suddenly appeared in Wang Youjun's hand. Upon seeing this, a look of fear flashed in the eyes of the long-bearded man, but it was too late to withdraw his move.

The moment his hand touched the painting, he vanished in a flash, and when he reappeared, he was already inside the painting.

You can see him roaring repeatedly in the painting, trying to break free of it.

At this moment, Wang Youjun had a writing brush in his hand, and with swift strokes, he was about to complete the character "死" (death) in the air in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this character, a flicker of despair flashed in the eyes of the long-bearded figure in the painting, and he struggled even more fiercely. He knew that once this character was completed, he would be finished.

Although he was the weakest in cultivation among the four, their combined combat strength was at the pinnacle of the entire Wang family. With his life hanging in the balance, he unleashed tremendous energy, and cracks began to appear on the entire scroll, as if it were about to break free at any moment.

Just then, the other three elders arrived to provide assistance.

"Let go!" One of them was wielding a sword. As soon as the long sword was drawn, countless terrifying sword energies slashed towards the opponent's hand.

If Wang Youjun hadn't dodged, even if he had managed to write the character for "death," he certainly wouldn't have been able to save his hand.

However, to everyone's surprise, Wang Youjun did not stop at all and continued to complete the character "death".

It must be admitted that his calligraphy was vigorous and powerful, truly demonstrating his strong and surging brushstrokes; it was almost the best calligraphy that several people had ever seen.
