"But you don't have to panic. I have discussed with the head of the Gongye clan. If the Gongyang clan takes any excessive actions in the future, our two clans should work together to fight against the Gongyang clan and curb their power. With the combined strength of our two clans, even a warrior in the Condensed Spirit Realm should retreat three points."
"It's such a small matter, it's really not worth panicking. Do you have anything else to do? If not, please leave for now."
After saying that, Ouyang Borong continued to hold the tea in his hand, sniffed the tea fragrance, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face.
In front, Ouyang Fenghua already looked dazed, and couldn't help but say again:
"Chief, did you listen to me? I said that the Gongyang family was exterminated!"
"Um?"
Ouyang Borong, who heard it clearly this time, suddenly paused and said in surprise:
"What? Say that again!"
Ouyang Fenghua had no choice but to repeat:
"Chief, I said that the Gongyang family was exterminated by the Chen family. This has been confirmed by the clan members. At present, the Chen family has occupied the Gongyang family and sent news to the affiliated families of Yelang County, asking them to submit. It is expected that in a few days, Yelang County will completely change hands."
"Why didn't you report such an important matter earlier?"
After hearing the whole news, Ouyang Borong looked solemn and immediately reprimanded.
Ouyang Fenghua looked aggrieved:
"Chief, I just said this when I came in. Didn't you ask me to be calmer?"
"How dare you talk back? I'm the clan leader! And I'm your fifth uncle!"
Ouyang Fenghua looked speechless, but did not dare to say anything else.
Ouyang Borong said hurriedly:
"Quick, send people to the Chen family's territory to find out what happened, but remember not to go too deep. Before the matter is clear, you must not offend the Chen family."
"Also send someone from the clan to deliver a letter to Gongye's family to inform them of this matter."
After receiving several orders, Ouyang Borong's brows were still furrowed.
The reason for this reaction was naturally because things far exceeded his expectations.
The family knew a lot about the Gongyang family. Even if Gongyang Junyue broke through the state of concentration, the family still had a general understanding of the overall strength of the Gongyang family and could take precautions. Moreover, there were still some relationships between the three families, and they were wary of each other, so things would not get too ugly.
But the winner now is the Chen family, a family that no one has ever heard of and knows nothing about.
In addition, during the two battles between the Gongyang family and the Chen family, the family also sent people to help. Although these two times were due to interests, the family also wanted to get as much as possible from the Gongyang family.
But in this way, the family still offended the Chen family.
If the Chen family was destroyed, the family would still be considered to have made contributions to the Gongyang family. But now it is the Gongyang family that was destroyed, so the family undoubtedly has some grudges with the Chen family.
What’s more important is that the family is not clear about the strength of the Chen family.
But the fact that they were able to destroy the Gongyang family shows that the Chen family also has a warrior in the Condensation Realm, and their strength is probably even above Gongyang Junyue, otherwise, with the Gongyang family's strength, how could they be completely wiped out, and they didn't even receive any news at all.
This is not the only thing that worries Ouyang Borong.
The Chen family has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and its growth rate is simply too fast. Could there be other families mixed in with it? They may be other upper-class families or even top families.
In addition, what was the specific situation in this war? How did Gongyang Junyue die? Many things now need the family to find out.
To be on the safe side, Ouyang Borong spoke again:
"Send a message quickly and ask the knowledgeable elder to come over."
After making many arrangements, Ouyang Borong's expression finally relaxed a lot.
At this time, Ouyang Fenghua on the side said:
"Chief, there are many resources in Yelang County. According to the family, the Chen family has not yet completely occupied this county. When two tigers fight, one will be injured. Even if the Chen family wins, the family may also suffer heavy losses. So can the family benefit from it?"
Acting when there is profit is the family style. Otherwise, how can we develop in southern Xinjiang where there are many families but scarce resources?
So after hearing these words, Ouyang Borong did not scold him, but just shook his head and said:
"If the Gongyang and Gongye tribes were fighting, our family would definitely intervene. But the situation is different now. Both tribes have warriors in the Condensation Realm fighting. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. When we are not sure whether we can destroy a family, we must not offend a family with warriors in the Condensation Realm."
"Besides, the Chen family acted decisively. After destroying the Gongyang family, they did not even rest, but sent their people to attack Yelang County. This shows that the family is quite confident in their own strength. If the family acts rashly without knowing the situation, it will only bring trouble to the family."
After hearing this, Ouyang Fenghua said no more.
But after Ouyang Borong finished speaking, he felt something in his heart.
A warrior at the Concentrated Spirit Realm was indeed powerful, but his Ouyang family had been developing for many years, and if it was just a warrior at the Concentrated Spirit Realm, it would not be enough to make the family retreat.
As for the Chen family, the family openly does not recommend having conflicts with this clan, but it is still necessary to test this clan secretly and find out its specific strength.
If the Chen family is really seriously damaged, the family would not mind taking a piece of the pie.
If the Chen family remains strong, then the family will have to consider building good relations with this family.
However, even if it is a test, perhaps the family does not need to take action. A superior family that has been promoted by destroying the Gongyang family and has the potential to become a top family will probably be feared by other families. It is better to spread the news to other counties.
This way, the family can stay out of the matter.
After all, his Ouyang family is the closest family to the Chen family. If he takes the initiative to test and is discovered, it will only worsen the relationship between the two families.
As his thoughts turned, Ouyang Borong already had a plan in mind, but he had to wait until the family had investigated the situation first before he could take any action.
After thinking it over, Ouyang Borong slowly came back to his senses. He tasted the tea that had already cooled down and sighed softly:
“It’s really a troubled time.”
…
"Chief Lu, are you serious?"
In the Ma family of Yelang County, the head of the Ma family, Ma Chenyi, looked at Lu Kaiming in front of him with a look of surprise and doubt.
Facing the suspicious look from the head of the Ma family, Lu Kaiming said:
"If Patriarch Ma doesn't believe it, you can quickly verify the authenticity of the news. However, my time is limited, and I still need to go to other families to inform them."
Seeing that Lu Kaiming was about to leave, the head of the Ma family hurriedly tried to stop him, saying:
"Wait a minute, Chief Lu. It's not that I don't believe it, but this news is too bizarre and I'm at a loss. Please give me some advice, Chief Lu."
Seeing Ma Chenyi's confused expression, Lu Kaiming also sighed:
"Well, to be honest, I felt the same as you when I first learned about this, but the general trend is such that small families like us have no choice but to make a choice."
"The Chen family has already occupied Yelang County. I believe that Chief Ma is also aware of the strength of the Chen family. If we don't obey, what will happen to the family?"
