Chapter 393 Commandery Prince Meets the Wen Family Patriarch
As one of the great families in Lanqu County City, the depth of the Wen Family’s heritage goes without saying.
Only in the Dao Spirit realm does the family possess a formidable number of martial artists, amounting to dozens. And this is only the strength that is publicly known; a family like the Wen Family is bound to have hidden aces that are undisclosed to the public. These aces would not be casually utilized unless the family’s very existence is at stake.
Recently, however, a gloomy aura has enveloped the Wen Family.
In fact, as a powerful family, they extended their reach into every city within the territory of Lanqu County. For instance, the Zhao Family of Donglin City was merely one of the puppets supported by the Wen Family. Sacrificing a Zhao Family did not significantly impact the overall influence of the Wen Family.
The resources annually tributed by the Zhao Family appeared substantial, but they were merely a minor part of the Wen Family’s income.
The problem, however, pertained to a matter of face.
Not only was the Zhao Family, supported by the Wen Family, annihilated, but two of the Wen Family’s Dao Spirit realm martial artists were also killed. Although efforts to control the spread of this news had been deliberate, some influential people and powers within Lanqu County City had already received the information.
This turn of events was a disgrace to the Wen Family, utterly humiliating.
Especially for high-ranking individuals such as the Wen Family Patriarch and elders, it was tough to hold their heads high, given that they had been the butt of jokes among the higher-ups of other families in recent days.
Strictly speaking, Grandma San Ying also counted as one of the Wen Family’s own. Therefore, counting her, the Wen Family lost three Dao Spirit realm martial artists in Donglin City.
Even for the Wen Family, the loss of three Dao Spirit realm martial artists at once was deeply painful. It was no easy task to cultivate each Dao Spirit realm martial artist, requiring plenty of time and a vast amount of resources.
Regardless, the Wen Family could not let this matter go. Jing Yan must die, and the Jing Family, that small family, must also be uprooted.
