Senior Brother, Stop It, You Are A Villain!

Chapter 280.2

After the internal division of the Ziqing Sacred Land, the Murong family has completely lost their backing. Those resources and minerals that once made the Murong family grow became hot potatoes in an instant. In the eyes of many peripheral families, the current Murong family is no longer their leader, but an extremely delicious piece of fat. They all looked at the Murong family greedily, just waiting for an opportunity to appear, and they would immediately turn into a pack of wolves and divide the Murong family up!

However, in terms of strength, the Murong family is far superior to other families. There is no way for one or two families to attack the Murong family. At least four or five families must unite to fight against the Murong family. It’s just that although the benefits are eye-catching, no one is willing to be that early bird. After all, everyone knows that if they attack the Murong family in groups, the Murong family will definitely lose, but the first family to charge up will definitely be the one that dies the worst!

So the major families are waiting for the opportunity.

The Great Elder also knows this very well, but some time ago he was a bit ignorant of the Murong family, and with people from the Tiangang Sword Sect watching, he couldn’t find a chance to attack the Murong family.

But now, the appearance of Tang Fei means that the opportunity has come.

The first thing that went wrong was a mine outside the Murong family.

This mine was acquired by the Murong family after attaching itself to the Great Elder, and it can mine high-quality iron ore. After iron ore is refined, it can be used to craft high-quality magical items and weapons with outstanding effects.

Ninety percent of the iron ore extracted from the mine needs to be paid to the Ziqing Sacred Land, and the remaining ten percent can be distributed by the Murong family. Don’t underestimate this ten percent share! When converted into spirit stones, there are nearly one million spirit stones every year!

One must know that the vast majority of peripheral families, with all their income added up, don’t have a million spirit stones a year!

Because of this, the major families have been coveting this mine for a long time. But because of the majesty of the Great Elder, no one dares to covet it.

However, on this day, three families announced at the same time that the Murong family was no longer qualified to continue managing the mine. They first sent people to forcibly occupy the mine, expelled the managers sent by the Murong family, and then announced a joint takeover of the mine.

After Murong Hou heard about this, he couldn’t help but be furious, and he immediately mobilized his soldiers and horses to rush over and wipe out these ignorant families. Finally, he still remembered that Tang Fei was in charge of the current Murong family, so he reported to Tang Fei before setting off.

Tang Fei hurriedly held Murong Hou down, and reminded, “Uncle, if you just send people over like this, you will really fall into the opponent’s scheme! I am very sure that they must have set up an ambush in the mine. Just waiting for you to throw yourself into the trap!”

Murong Hou frowned and said, “Then what should we do? Should we just watch them occupy the mine?”

“This…” Tang Fei couldn’t help but fell into deep thought.

According to Tang Fei’s guess, although these three families have been coveting mines for a long time, their strength is not enough to compete with the Murong family. It is very likely that there is someone behind them, and this person is probably the Great Elder. Their actions are more like a test, to test the current strength and position of the Murong family. Whether the Murong family is too radical or too negative, they are easy to be calculated by others.

But crises are also opportunities. In Tang Fei’s view, this is also an opportunity for the Murong family. If they grasp it well, they may be able to take the initiative and be active.

After contemplating for a long time, Tang Fei made up his mind and whispered to Murong Hou, “Uncle, do you believe me?”

Murong Hou nodded subconsciously, “Of course, I believe the words of the holy son.”

Tang Fei smiled and said, “As for this matter, my suggestion is that if they want it, then give it to them. It’s just that after eating some things, it’s not so easy to spit them out!”

Murong Hou was also a smart person, so he immediately realized Tang Fei’s intentions and said, “The holy son means to use this mine as bait? Then what kind of fish is the holy son planning to catch?”

Tang Fei said, “Actually, it’s not just the three major families who want this mine. The Great Elder and the Second Elder also want it. Especially for the Second Elder, the significance of this mine is even more important. Uncle, I’ll hand over a letter to you later, and you send someone to deliver the letter to the Wu family. Wu Feng will naturally understand what I mean after reading it.”

Murong Hou immediately understood that Tang Fei wanted to provoke a fight between the Great Elder and the Second Elder’s forces. It’s just that if he does this, the mine probably won’t have a chance to be taken back.

Thinking of this, Murong Hou couldn’t help but hesitate.

Tang Fei saw what Murong Hou was thinking, and comforted him, “Why should uncle worry about gains and losses? It’s just a mine. Now that a mine is lost, don’t you worry that you won’t get better compensation in the future?”

Hearing what Tang Fei said, Murong Hou’s heart suddenly brightened.

Yes! As long as they follow the holy son, what will a mere mine be if the holy son is successful in the future? As the saying goes, “If you can’t bear a child, you can’t tie a wolf.” If you can’t even bear a mine, what’s the big deal?

Thinking of this, Murong Hou’s expression suddenly became firm. He nodded emphatically to Tang Fei, and said, “I will follow the order of the holy son!”
