Chapter 1390 - 1389: Crisis is Quietly Approaching
The Eight Great Families usually appear very mild and never interfere with the growth of civilian groups, but once they make a decision, it’s like a thunderstorm.
The council meeting lasted all night, and after that night, each of the Eight Great Families dispatched an assassination squad to Mount Xumi.
The main mission of the eight assassination squads was singular, to assassinate Yusuf Zuck, to kill Li Hu, to kill ’Laura Parham’!
Who is Laura Parham? She is the military advisor of Mount Xumi, although only at the Intermediate God Sovereign level, she has long been in the sights of the Eight Great Families.
Her cultivation level is secondary, it is mainly that she is skilled in politics and strategy, understands heavenly secrets, and knows geography, making such a person often more fearsome than those of a Superior Divine Master.
These three were on the kill list, and upon their death, the eight squads were responsible for completely sweeping through Mount Xumi.
In the past, Mount Xumi remained untouched not because of its insurmountable terrain but because the Eight Great Families had never joined forces, always fighting separately, with natural barriers only partly the reason.
This time, though, the Eight Great Families began to clean up their rear, eliminating all potential threats in their infancy.
It seems they’re preparing for a future great war against the forces of good and evil, so to combat external foes, they must first secure internal stability; if internal affairs are not in order, then the empire of the Eight Great Families could collapse in an instant under collusion from within and without!
As for the leaders of the eight squads, they are the heads of the covert operations of the Eight Great Families, all of whom are at the Superior Divine Master level.
Among Superior Divine Masters, there are strong and weak, with the Eight Great Clan Leaders being the strongest, plus they have Innate Spiritual Treasures, making them almost invincible!
