Chapter 220 The Great Elder's Decision
The head of the Tang family looked at the expressions of the elders below and knew what they were thinking, so he sighed and said helplessly, "Tell me what we should do about this matter." At this time, all the elders looked at the great elder to express that they would listen to the great elder on this matter, and this action made the head of the Tang family very angry. He was the head of the Tang family and the head of the family, but now these elders listened to the great elder on everything. Did they think that the head of the family was dead? But even though he was very angry, he concealed it very well and didn't show a single trace on his face. The eldest elder of the Tang family didn't feel anything was wrong. He stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "I think we should put this matter aside for now! It's not that I don't want to avenge my ninth brother, but reality doesn't allow us to do so. The most important thing for us now is to hurry up and collect resources. When we have enough resources, we can think of a way to deal with the Wen family. But before that, we have to take down the Leng family first. If the Leng family falls into our hands, we won't be afraid of not being able to deal with the Wen family." He paused here and continued, "To deal with the Leng family, we have to wait until the ancestor successfully breaks through the out-of-body stage. Then we will take action against the Leng family immediately. In the future, the family disciples still have to go out and collect resources as much as possible, but we have to tell them not to act recklessly. If they provoke cultivators who shouldn't be provoked, it will be a disaster for them." The head of the Tang family He sneered secretly in his heart, holding on to his words which he took for granted: "The Great Elder has a really good idea. He wants to swallow up the Leng family and take down the Wen family at the same time. Does he think the Tang family is invincible? Can it have such great ability to deal with a third-rate family and a second-rate family? But it's okay this way. Dealing with the Leng family was his original plan. What he wants now is to take down the Leng family for the time being. As for the Wen family, he has other plans, because his daughter has agreed that as long as she can help him enter the Wen family and become the wife of the young master of the Wen family, then he will take back to the Tang family anything he can get from the Wen family. When the time comes, when Wen Hao becomes the head of the family, the Wen family will be his sooner or later. As for now! This idea was proposed by the Great Elder. He won't have to worry about anything in the future." So the head of the Tang family just smiled and nodded and stopped talking. That expression was that he agreed with the Great Elder's decision.
For a while, the cultivators of the Tang family kept a low profile, while the Wen family was also in an uproar at this time. The patriarch of the Wen family sat in the main seat, and Wen Hao stood beside him, quietly listening to the quarrels of the elders below. At this time, the patriarch of the Wen family stared at the fifth elder and said coldly, "Fifth elder, I ask you again, how much did you take from the Tang family? I want to hear the truth from you." After that, his eyes were fixed on the fifth elder, and the elders sitting below also stared at the fifth elder, wanting to know how much he had taken from the Tang family. They didn't think that the fifth elder had taken these things back, because although the patriarch of the Tang family was very vague when he came to the door before, the elders sitting there were not stupid people. From what the patriarch of the Tang family said, it seemed that someone had emptied their treasure pavilion and library. If this was really done by the fifth elder, then how much did the fifth elder get? The elders remained silent, their eyes fixed on the Fifth Elder, hoping to discern something from his gaze. The Fifth Elder felt a pang of fear at being stared at, but he hadn't done anything. The theft at the Tang family was none of his business. He'd simply gone there, and he hadn't taken much. So why were these people looking at him now? And what did the Patriarch mean by that? Did he mean he'd emptied the Tang family? He wished he really had the ability. So, he angrily shouted, "What does Patriarch mean by that? Do you think I can emptied the Tang family? You think too highly of me!" The Fifth Elder didn't realize that the more he spoke, the more suspicious the others grew. However, they couldn't confront the Fifth Elder directly, and each of them was secretly plotting how they could get the money from him.
The head of the Wen family looked at the Fifth Elder and simply smiled without saying a word. That smile made the Fifth Elder think she believed him, so he let the matter go. Little did he know, his clansmen were secretly plotting how to divide up what he had. The head of the Wen family also had his own plans and discussed some family matters with the others before watching the Great Elder lead them away. After everyone left, the Tang family patriarch looked at his son and wanted to see what he thought, so he asked Wenhao about this matter, "Hao'er, what do you think about this matter? Your father wants to hear any different ideas." Wenhao thought for a long time before speaking, "Father, I think the Fifth Elder is involved in this matter. Even if he didn't do it himself, he must have cooperated with others to do it, because according to the Tang family patriarch's description, the Fifth Elder is the most likely." The Wen family patriarch nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "I agree with you on this matter, but now that all the elders are staring at the Fifth Elder, now is not the best opportunity. But Hao'er, don't worry. We don't have to take action directly, let them fight each other! We will give them a chance to fish in troubled waters when the time comes." Wenhao also smiled when he heard his father's words. Yes! Why should they do it themselves? After those people take action, they can come and take advantage of the situation. By then, no one will know. Thinking of this, Wenhao admired his father even more. The old saying is right! Ginger is still spicy!
The father and son conspired again in the hall before leaving. The head of the Wen family looked at his son's receding back and curled his lips. He actually had some words that he had not told Wen Hao. He actually had other plans for this matter. He planned to take this opportunity to get rid of some disobedient people. Others only saw that their Wen family was a big family, and only saw the glory of him as the head of the Wen family, but what they didn't know was that the Wen family was not so harmonious. Their Wen family was divided into three factions. One faction supported him but had only four elders, one faction was led by the chief elder and had the support of three elders, and the other faction was led by the third elder and also had the support of three elders.
The fifth elder supports the third elder, so by taking this opportunity to get rid of the fifth elder, he can also get rid of some annoying guys. Some cultivators in the family who support him are also on the verge of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage. When the time comes, pushing them up can fill the vacancies of those elders.
Without mentioning what the head of the Wen family was thinking in his heart, the third elder of the Wen family took the fifth elder to have a secret talk in his room for a long time, and the fifth elder left his courtyard with a red face and thick neck. After the fifth elder left, the third elder got very angry in his room. This matter was heard by the other two people in just a quarter of an hour. The expressions of the two people were exactly the same, that is, the expression of "as expected". It was this incident that made the two people more certain that the Tang family's belongings must have been taken away by the fifth elder, so the two of them each called their followers to start a secret meeting, and after the third elder got angry, he also called the other two supporters to conspire.
