anwhile,
The head of Chen Clan, Chen Fangjie, leading his elite tribesn and household heads, rushed to the port to launch an attack by ship. Accompanying them were several Spirit Platform Realm Elders and Wang Luoyi, the mother of Chen Xiuwu.
As the Saying goes, an army’s defeat is like a mountain collapsing.
With the continuous joining of reinforcents to the port, the morale of the Jiaolong Gang mbers dwindled rapidly, with many fleeing and even surrendering. Within a short ti, all three Jiaolong battleships were seized.
Chen Clan’s vessels began hunting down those who were fleeing by jumping into the sea. The fishing spears sank into the water, one by one skewering the fleeing soldiers like kebabs.
These were all military achievents, easy to achieve with little risk. Naturally, it drove the Chen Clan folks, their household heads, and even the boatn and sailors, to flock to achieve them.
Wang Shouzhe’s flying carriage continued to fly in the sky, observing everything on the battlefield.
At this point, the battle was coming to an end. The Chen Clan had won a total victory.
Only the battleground where Zhao Wuqing was, was still at a stalemate. Relying on the combined efforts of Old Ancestor Ruhong and Ruoling, they could naturally beat Zhao Wuqing. However, there’s a difference between defeating soone and capturing them alive.
Even though Zhao Wuqing had received a brutal beating and looked extrely wretched, in his refusal to surrender, the battle could only drag into a deadlock.
At this critical juncture, Wang Shouzhe joined the battle.
In the three-against-one situation, Zhao Wuqing, no matter how unwilling, could only obediently surrender.
Subsequently, it was ti to clear up the battlefield.
After Wang Shouzhe personally arranged for Ruoling to rest at Chen Clan’s residence, he rushed to attend a eting with Old Ancestor Ruhong. Even though they won the battle, they were left with a pile of troubleso issues.
Though the na Jiaolong Gang might sound like a third-tier gang, it was, in fact, an overlord of the region.
When Wang Shouzhe arrived at the main hall of the Chen Clan’s residence, it was already crowded with people. Those present included Old Ancestor Lei Yuanzhou from Lei Family, Old Ancestor Beichen from Xu Clan, Old Ancestor Ruhong from Chen Clan, as well as mbers of In-Laws Alliance such as Liu Family of Shanyin, Gongsun Clan of Shanyang, Lu Family of Yingxiu, Xu Clan of Jinsha, etc.
"Shouzhe is here."
The main hall, which was initially sowhat ssy, with so arguing and quarreling, suddenly quieted down as soon as Wang Shouzhe entered. The Old Ancestors of all the families stood up one after another to greet Wang Shouzhe.
"Shouzhe pays his respects to all the Old Ancestors," In terms of seniority, Wang Shouzhe was after all a junior. Moreover, he was a man who valued courtesy and affection. So, he naturally wouldn’t lose half a point of the required etiquette and respect.
After the greetings and small talk, Wang Shouzhe took his place at the main seat.
This was rightfully his place.
Wang Family was the leader of the In-Laws Alliance, and it was because of the Wang Family and Wang Shouzhe that the Alliance had beco so strong. Not to ntion the Old Ancestors were his seniors, even if Old Ancestor Longyan was present here, Wang Shouzhe would have taken the main seat during an official eting.
And Wang Shouzhe’s final decisions were often the ultimate decisions of the In-Laws Alliance.
This position was not sothing that fell from the sky, but was earned by Wang Shouzhe with his capabilities.
As soon as he sat down,
Lei Yuanzhou of the Lei Family said, "Shouzhe, it was unwise of Chen Clan to rashly start a war with Jiaolong Gang. Jiaolong Gang is different from Qian’s Comrce, the latter mainly established its business and was more cautious. However, once Jiaolong Gang starts a war with our In-Laws Alliance, they will be reckless."
"Elder Yuanzhou," Ruhong, the Old Ancestor’s face was slightly displeased, "I have already explained previously that it wasn’t Chen Clan who wanted to start a war with Jiaolong Gang, but they were the ones who first broke the agreent and made their move. They have brought the fight to us, should Chen Clan just let them hit us?"
Ruhong, the Old Ancestor, had already ascended to the Heavenly Human Realm, naturally having the qualifications to be equal with Lei Yuanzhou. At present, Donggang’s Chen Clan, although still nominally an Eighth Grade Prominent Family, its promotion to the 7th Rank was just a matter of completing the governnt procedures.
Of course, as a newly promoted family, Chen Clan currently only has a seventh-grade Heavenly Human, it’s overall strength is still sowhat weaker than that of the Lei Family. However, this is after all just a matter of developnt ti, the sea-controlling Donggang Chen Clan has imasurable potential for future developnt.
"Elder Ruhong," Lei Yuanzhou’s face cooled slightly, "As the saying goes, patience will yield ultimate peace. If you really suffer any losses, Master Shouzhe will naturally stand up for you. But now, having killed so many of Jiaolong Gang’s n, with Long Wuji’s temperant, would he leave things as they stand?"
Just as Ruhong, the Old Ancestor was about to retort, Wang Shouzhe coughed twice and said, "Elders, please calm down for a mont, listen to what I have to say first."
As soon as he said this,
Both Lei Yuanzhou and Chen Ruhong suppressed their anger, and stopped arguing.
Taking a pause, Wang Shouzhe finally said, with a slightly serious face, "Jiaolong Gang, due to their long-term dominance over Peace River, overlaps with so of our In-Laws Alliance’s sphere of influence. Therefore, I have always made no effort to collect information about Jiaolong Gang."
"To be honest, this sudden action by the Jiaolong Gang was sowhat unexpected, but on second thought, it was within reason. Long Wuji has long coveted the benefits of our In-Laws Alliance, but he’s not a fool. If he really has evil intentions, wouldn’t he strike when our In-Laws Alliance is still weak, rather than wait until we’ve beco even stronger?"
"Based on this, we can deduce that as long as Jiaolong Gang harbors intentions to strike, even if they back down today, tomorrow they can still find new excuses to justify their actions. Therefore, I would like to advise all the elders here, stop harboring illusions."
As these words ca out,
There was silence in the main hall.
Although Wang Shouzhe’s words were not pleasant to hear, they revealed a fact.
"In that case, today’s discussion should focus on how to deal with the ambition of Jiaolong Gang, how to overco the current predicant," Wang Shouzhe spoke with a calm deanor, "What do the elders think of this?"
Within a glance, Wang Shouzhe had unconsciously exhibited a deanor of soone in control of the situation. His composure and self-confidence seed to inject a shot of calmness into the hearts of the elders.
With Shouzhe here, they can definitely pull through.
