After they followed Mei Xiang and Li Lian, the Wen Twins arrived at a place not far from a spacious but simple residence, and it was none other than the residence of the Mei Clan.
"As expected, Mei Xiang plans to ask her clan for help, especially since the Li clan would never dare to fight us openly." Wen Yuan concurred with Wen Xuan's statements. "Do you think Li Bao will succeed in convincing the Wu Clan? If he really succeeds in doing that, then we will have to face three clans at once."
Wen Yuan shook her head at her twin sister. "I can't confirm that yet, and we have to wait for reports from our spies in the Wu Clan. However, Wu Ling is not a fool, and he definitely realizes the risks if he goes against the Liu and Chu Clans, which will only be detrimental to his clan."
"Have you contacted our spies in the Mei Clan?"
"I've already ordered her to eavesdrop on their conversation, so we just have to wait for now." Wen Yuan then took out her communication device and informed Liu Hua about the situation, after which she spoke to her twin sister again. "Actually, I don't think much about the Mei Clan; I think more about Li Jue's purpose in going out of town.
Moreover, some of our people who were stationed in other regions gave me information that people from the Pang Clan have been moving more actively recently, especially in the eastern region. They seem to be looking for something, but they don't know what they are looking for.
Unfortunately, they don't have any information about the movements of their higher-ups, such as Pang Hong, so I ordered them to spread out and stalk them."
Wen Xuan raised her eyebrows upon hearing that. "Do you think that Li Jue wants to have a relationship with that clan?"
"There is such a possibility."
"Sigh." Wen Xuan sighed softly. "Li Jue is truly stupid if he decides to do that, especially since all of our realm's cultivators hate the Pang Clan so much and will not hesitate to attack anyone who has a relationship with them."
"Isn't that a good thing for us?" Wen Yuan inquired, turning to face her. "If Li Jue truly establishes ties with the Pang Clan, then we only need to spread this news to the other clans, so we won't have to go to great lengths to destroy him and the Li Clan, and people will definitely flock together to attack them."
"Well, that's true."
After they waited for some time, they saw Mei Xiang and Li Lian leaving the Mei Clan, and their spies immediately contacted Wen Yuan, informing her of the results of the two women's conversation with the clan members.
"How is the result?"
Wen Yuan released a heavy sigh before telling her. "Mei Jie decided to help Mei Xiang against us, but they wouldn't act immediately, and he asked her to wait for Li Jue to return. According to our spies in the Wu Clan, Wu Ling rejected Li Bao's request, so our burden was reduced by one, but we still have to remain vigilant against them in case he changes his mind."
"This way we just have to wait for reports from our spies who are following Li Jue, and we will immediately report everything to Big Sis Hua, so we can devise countermeasures against all of them." Wen Xuan suddenly got news from someone else. "Hey, Huan Ning decided to summon those people, and they will probably arrive in this city in two days."
"Oh?" Wen Yuan raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Huan Ning seems to be getting more and more frustrated, and she's probably already aware of Zhang Fei's actions against her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have summoned the higher-ups of the Gui Assassins to help her, and the Qiao Clan would definitely have heard of this news, especially since Qiao Ran is the true leader of their group."
"Let's go back to the Li Clan and monitor the movements of the two women again." Wen Yuan immediately followed Wen Xuan, who had already flown away first, but she felt that there was something wrong with the situation.

In the room, the two people who were talking together naturally noticed Zhao Yun's presence just now. "Your son seemed to have been looking for trouble with Young Master Xuan, and you were lucky that he didn't kill him outright, or else you would have lost your only son.
Anyway, I didn't expect there to be a member of the Zhang Clan living in this city, so it's no surprise that Zhang Lingxue is here now, and she brought Ziqin with her."
"How did you know that damn woman was in this city?" Huan Ning asked with a frown that made her muscles bulge out, especially since she hated Zhang Lingxue with all her heart.
"Young master Xuan told me about it, and Liu Hua was also with them, so Ziqin should be in the Chu Clan now." Huan Chong then advised Huan Ning. "I know that you hate Zhang Lingxue very much, but you have lived in the Central Region for a few years before, so you should already understand the strength of the Zhang Clan.
That's why you shouldn't act on your anger, particularly since you will never prevail against her, and if Zhang Long discovers that you tried to kill his beloved daughter, our clan will face destruction."
Instead, Huan Ning's expression became even more furious because of his words, but she was also fully aware that she would never be able to defeat Zhang Lingxue, so she immediately calmed herself down before asking her cousin. "What do you think we should do next?"
"What else?" Huan Chong responded with a shrug. "Young master Xuan told me that there will be an internal sect competition in a few days, and Zhang Lingxue definitely won't stay too long in this city, so you can wait for her to leave first while waiting for the people from the Gui Assassins to arrive.
After that, we will attack Zhang Fei and the Chu Clan, and the people from the Liu Clan won't be able to save them, especially since Liu Ming and Liu Rong are in the northern region now."
Hearing that, Huan Ning nodded in understanding. "You're right, I'll wait for Zhang Lingxue to leave first, and the people from the Gui assassins will arrive in this city in two days, so we'll move straight away once everything is ready."
"That's good." Huan Chong then rose to his feet before speaking to her again. "Moreover, Ziqin is in their hands now, so I'm sure Young Master Xuan will be willing to help us, and this is the best chance to get rid of the Chu Clan once and for all."
After her cousin left the room, Huan Ning leaned back in her chair while thinking about many things, especially about Zhang Lingxue. "I can't kill you now, but I will make you regret your past humiliation of me by killing that damn brat from your clan first."
