Li Yuanqing heard all sorts of discussions in the restaurant.
In the eyes of the common people, the royal family of the Northern Kingdom was still very good. The common people did not care who the Emperor was. They were only concerned about whether they could eat, wear warm clothes, and have a house to live in, or whether their family could be together peacefully.
Although the Northern Kingdom’s foundation was weak and it had suffered countless crises, in the end, there were no major wars on this piece of land and the commoners lived in peace. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, they still supported the Northern Kingdom. At least, in their eyes, this country was still very good.
No matter who became the Emperor, whether they were male or female, as long as they had food to eat and a place to live without suffering from war, they would be good emperors.
A good emperor naturally had to be supported!
They were all gloating over the seven great clans’ misfortune. If the aristocratic families were unlucky, the Emperor would not go and take revenge on these aristocratic families, and the commoners would not suffer the pain of war.
No matter how bad the royal family of the Northern Kingdom was, they were able to cultivate and rest for the past hundred years without fighting, so they were already the best emperors.
The dishes served by the restaurant were not exquisite, but they tasted pretty good. Li Yuanqing was very satisfied with the food. After the meal, a cup of green tea was served. The tea leaves in this world were very similar to those in his previous life. This was also the reason why Li Yuanqing liked to drink tea.
Because when he drank tea, he would not feel lonely.
Leaving behind an ingot of silver, Li Yuanqing did not care that the waiter was chasing after him to get the change for him. He left swiftly. He was initially a little tired, but he was already satisfied after sitting in the restaurant.
He went straight to the Zhongxing Clan, one of the seven great clans. The Zhongxing Clan was very weak. They only had one Martial Saint. There were only thirty to forty martial artists above the fifth-grade. They could not compare to the Wang Clan. Therefore, Li Yuanqing left after staying in the Zhongxing Clan for two hours.
“There’s only the last Wei clan left among the seven great clans. Two days have already passed. After dealing with the Wei clan, I’ll be able to return to that valley in the Wilderness within three days. Zhaoyang should still be waiting for me…” Li Yuanqing calculated in his heart. He had almost finished off the seven aristocratic families, leaving only the Wei Clan.
And at this time, the atmosphere in the Wei clan was abnormally tense. This was because the patriarch held several urgent letters in his hands. From the very beginning, the Zhao clan had sent a letter of request for help. It was said that all of the powerhouses of the Zhao clan, including the Old Ancestor, had been assassinated.
All that was left behind was a room full of weak women and children. Other than the several strongest fifth-grade martial artists, the Zhao clan’s patriarch and elders had all been killed. The Zhao clan had joined forces with several great clans to take revenge for them.
The Han clan’s letter informed everyone that they had to be careful. It was likely that someone from the Northern Kingdom’s royal family had come to deal with them. Moreover, the person who had come was extremely terrifying, even more terrifying than the one from the Wind Thunder Sect.
It was because the Han clan’s people actually only discovered that the Han clan’s experts were killed after several hours.
So many people from the Han Clan had died, but they didn’t even know who had come. The only thing they knew was that the person who could kill their ancestor was definitely not weaker than a Martial Saint.
This was a formidable enemy. The Han Clan told the major clans to be extremely careful. If it really didn’t work, the experts could all gather at the Wang Clan for protection. After all, the Wang Clan had as many experts as the clouds, and they were the most powerful among the seven great clans.
Moreover, the Wang Clan also had a Martial Arts Academy. There were also some hidden experts in this Martial Arts Academy. It could be said that the Wang Clan was comparable to the other two aristocratic clans. They were probably the strongest in the entire Northern Kingdom even if they added the experts from other aristocratic clans.
The letter sent by the Han Clan made the people of the Wei Clan very tempted. But when they planned to gather all the experts to go to the Wang Clan, they received a letter from the Wang Clan.
When he opened it, the Wei clan’s patriarch’s expression turned ugly.
From top to bottom, the Wang clan only had one seventh-grade martial artist left. Over a hundred powerhouses and two Old Ancestors were killed, and not a single person discovered who it was.
This was too terrifying. Everyone was clearly guessing in their hearts that the person who came was definitely someone sent by the Li Clan. However, they had never seen anyone who could silently kill the few old ancestors.
How terrifying would that be? Was this the hidden trump card of the royal family? It was too scary.
Because the Wei Clan was slightly further away from the rest of the families, Li Yuanqing had yet to rush over when he received the news. After some deliberation, the other party immediately gathered all the guardians they could invite as well as some forces they had connections with.
With the addition of forty to fifty fifth-grade and above experts of the Wei clan, they gathered outside the ancestral hall. Because here, not only was the terrain the highest, it was also the most spacious and could accommodate several hundred people at the same time.
In order to withstand the risks that they had to face, the Wei clan had even invited a few experts at the peak of ninth grade and set up an inescapable net in the entire Wei clan. In particular, there were some sword formations and even some formations that were specially used to deal with large groups of experts.
The Wei clan had even emptied out all of their resources and set up all the array formations that could be used outside the ancestral hall. This was because according to the Wei clan patraich’s speculations, the person who was able to silently exterminate several aristocratic families was definitely the sacrificial soldiers trained by the royal family in secret. It was even possible that they were trump cards left behind by the founding ancestor of the Northern Kingdom.
Therefore, the Wei clan activated the array formation.
The Wei clan had a history of over a thousand years. The descendants of the Wei clan were all obsessed with the study of array formations, so they weren’t the strongest on the surface among the seven great clans. However, their array formations could be said to be unparalleled. In the past few hundred years, all the array formation experts that appeared were related to the Wei clan.
The Wei clan’s array formation was superb!
It was rumored that even Martial Saints would be trapped if they tried to break into the array. Moreover, since the royal family of the Northern Kingdom had made a move against the aristocratic families, they would definitely bring a group of people to the Wei Clan. Therefore, when the Old Ancestor and the patriarch of the Wei Clan received the news, they immediately started to set up the array.
He did not believe that the trump cards of the Northern Kingdom royal family were all Martial Saints.
The flaw in his formation was that the strength of the formation differed according to the strength of the one who set up the formation. For example, the Wei Clan’s formation had once trapped an expert who had killed a Martial Saint.
In the past thousand years, more than ten Martial Saints had died in the Wei clan’s formation. Each of them had been outstanding figures of that era.
This was also the reason why the Wei clan was not prosperous and did not have many experts. However, they had a very high say in the Seven Great Clans. It was even the reason why their lady had married into the Wang clan as their matriarch.
By the time Li Yuanqing arrived at the Wei residence, it was not even three in the morning. The sky was at its darkest hour. Usually, it would be bright after three in the morning, and today was the third day of Li Yuanqing and Zhaoyang’s agreement.
Therefore, he didn’t hesitate and went straight to the Wei Family.
After dealing with the Wei Family, it was time to return to the Wilderness Valley.
