Chapter 104
Liang Wen looked at Xu Ming and Xu Pangda, his expression full of helplessness:
“Gentlemen, Baihe County is not like an ordinary place.
Indeed, three prime ministers once served here, and even Master Fang’s hometown is in this county. Historically, Baihe County was known for its political clarity.
But things have changed.
Over the years, a few families in Baihe County have produced cultivators. These individuals, after training in their sects, returned and leveraged their networks to establish the Four Great Clans of Baihe County. These clans have grown increasingly arrogant, controlling most of the county’s industries.
Additionally, these clans maintain numerous gangs to do their bidding. Being far from Wu Capital and just a small county town, Baihe County is a place where imperial authority is thin. Who would even pay attention to this place?”
Xu Pangda chuckled coldly.
“Oh? What’s this, Lord Liang? As an official of the imperial court, are you really afraid of a few small sects? Or has Baihe County suddenly become home to a great sect so powerful that even the Wu Kingdom wouldn’t dare provoke it?”
“Lord Xu, your words…” Liang Wen sighed.
