Chapter 589 Sitting on the ground and dividing the spoils
On the other side, the ancestor of the Cheng family was arguing with several other powerful and influential families from Beihu Province, their faces red with anger.
"Our Cheng family contributed the most to this raid on Jinshanhe and the Fang family! The Cheng family must occupy half of their territory!"
The other families refused to give in. "The Cheng family lost only an insignificant son-in-law, nominally one! We took a risk by sending people to assassinate the old man from the Fang family, and we lost a lot of manpower! The Fang family's territory must be divided equally!"
The noble families in each province all wanted to expand their territory.
But in the past, there was a martial arts association to uphold justice. Even if the martial arts community in Jiangdong Province was not strong enough, forces from other provinces had to abide by the rules and did not dare to intervene forcibly.
The noble families themselves will also unite against the enemy when facing foreign enemies.
Right now, the Jiangdong Provincial Martial Arts Association branch is struggling to take care of itself.
The Fang family, the leader among the aristocratic families in Jiangdong Province, was also forced to shrink its power because of the assassination attempt by the "Qianji Pavilion".
It even caused panic among the people and showed signs of disintegration.
Under such circumstances, it is the perfect time for noble families from other provinces to come and divide up the territory and interests!
Several groups of people argued endlessly and almost came to a fight.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew.
"Who?"
Some people sensed that the atmosphere was not right and subconsciously took a defensive stance.
But soon their expressions changed.
"Someone poisoned me?"
In a flash, a group of men in black surrounded them.
"How dare you use the name of our Qianji Pavilion and bring trouble to it? I think you are tired of living!"
The people in power from these aristocratic families all looked shocked and doubtful.
"Thousand Machine Pavilion? Impossible! The people from the Thousand Machine Pavilion clearly..."
"No, you were sent by Ye Yan?"
They couldn't understand how Ye Yan could discover their conspiracy and find their traces?
Obviously this plan is flawless!
What's more, Luo Tianshen had promised to let them divide up the fat piece of meat of Jiangdong Province.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense! Kill them all, leaving no one alive!"
Following the order, the group of men in black took decisive action.
Jiangdong Provincial Martial Arts Association Branch.
Representatives from various forces also gathered together.
Mei Pengju, the great elder of the Fulong Sect, was among them.
"The next branch president will be someone from our Fulong Sect. Is that okay with everyone?"
As he said this, he turned his head and glanced at Ji Wu, the representative of Tianwu Sect.
Ji Wu frowned. "Things haven't been settled yet. Isn't it a bit premature to discuss this now?"
Mei Pengju chuckled.
"I know that we didn't inform your Tianwu Sect in advance about this plan, and since Tianwu Sect didn't contribute much, you're not happy about it."
"But don't worry, the Fulong Sect doesn't intend to have it all to themselves! We'll at least give your Tianwu Sect a vice-chairman position!"
"Of course, the premise is that your Tianwu Sect cannot lag behind in the next action!"
But at this time, someone raised objections.
"Why? This time, apart from the Fulong Sect, our lineage contributed the most! Even my fellow apprentice Sun Taian lost his life!"
"Otherwise, with the Fire Phoenix and Dragon Owl Battalion watching closely, how could the plan possibly proceed smoothly?"
"Our lineage has long been prepared to establish its own sect! The position of vice president must belong to my master, Hao Nantian!"
The person who spoke was Hua Han, another favorite student of Hao Nantian.
Mei Pengju frowned.
"According to our previous agreement, after eliminating Tie Xinwu, you can become the law enforcement captain of the Jiangdong Martial Arts Association. What, you want to break your promise?"
Hua Han snorted coldly, "I'm not breaking my promise. I'm just dissatisfied with the Tianwu Sect! They didn't contribute anything in this operation. Why do they have the right to step on our lineage?"
What they care about is not the empty title of "branch president" or "law enforcement captain".
But it’s the interests represented by this identity!
The Fulong Sect is powerful and is the main force in the encirclement and suppression of Ye Yan. Hua Han has no objection to getting the lion's share.
But this time, the Tianwu Sect did not put in much effort.
Moreover, their lineage had long been prepared to establish its own sect in Jiangdong Province, and would sooner or later become a competitor of the Tianwu Sect.
Getting a bigger piece of the pie would be equivalent to weakening the Tianwu Sect's strength.
Hua Han will never retreat!
Listening to the argument between the two, Ji Wu frowned.
For some reason, she always had a bad feeling in her heart.
She was no stranger to this feeling.
It seemed that every time they were about to attack Ye Yan, this feeling of uneasiness would always surface.
"Enough! I said, let's discuss this matter after everything is settled!"
"If you want to gain more benefits, let's see how each of you performs next!"
"Don't blame me for not warning you, Ye Yan is really a weird guy, he won't surrender easily!"
Mei Pengju sneered.
"So what if he's so evil? We've already clipped all his wings and laid a net of heaven and earth. Even the Qianji Pavilion is willing to take the blame for us."
"This time, even with the support of the Martial Arts Association, Ye Yan won't be able to escape!"
Hua Han also somewhat disapproved.
"Have you suffered too much at Ye Yan's hands and are you scared of him?"
"If you, the Tianwu Sect, don't dare to take action, why not withdraw as soon as possible! We don't mind dividing Jiangdong Province equally with the Fulong Sect!"
