CHAPTER 1513 THE EIGHT RECLUSIVE CLANS

"What are you trying to say?” The man was a little embarrassed after Sima Heng shot all his points down easily. They didn't want to bother about someone who only knew how to argue and not fight.

If it was something that could be resolved with a fight, there was no point in arguing and it wouldn't do anything for them either.

"My point is very simple. The Sima family doesn't need to lead the way and end up with unnecessary losses."

"Tsk, what do you know? Once there are no more available pages, then what say will our clan have?"

Someone immediately argued back once Sima Heng finished his sentence.

But he wasn't angry at all and kept a smile on his face.

"Master Sima, the Fang clan is the first one to know where the pages are, so why would they tell others about it?"

Sima Heng ignored all the doubts cast by the others in the hall and walked forward to speak respectfully to Sima Ru instead. "Master Sima, the manual pages represent the clan's influence and power."

Sima Ru didn't say anything. He stared at Sima Heng and fell silent for a long time.

He didn't really like Sima Heng. If the most senior elder didn't favor this man, there was no way he would allow Sima Heng to join the discussion in the main hall.

Sima Heng was already past thirty and he was only at grandmaster level, so he wasn't worth much in terms of actual physical ability.

But when it came to making plans, Sima Heng had a steadiness that was very convincing.

"So what do you think I should do?" Unlike the head of the Fang family, Fang Wei, Sima Ru never insisted on doing everything the way he wanted.

“The eight reclusive clans should join hands!” said Sima Heng directly. It has been proven that it is impossible for any single clan to get the manual from Donghai."

"It's not just the Sima clan that has suffered losses. Every single clan in this mountain has suffered losses."

"It's just one Donghai and all eight reclusive clans have suffered losses. This isn't just a matter of being embarrassed anymore.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Sima Ru frowned slightly.

He got a little displeased when it came to talking about being embarrassed.

Losing one Sima Gao wasn't really a great loss per se to the clan, but it was very embarrassing indeed.

Similarly, all eight reclusive clans had gone through the same experience. One Donghai had pressed down hard on them and they were all deeply embarrassed by their loss.

"So I suggest that we should join hands with the other reclusive clans and make a move together. On top of that, the Fang clan must be the one leading the way," said Sima Heng confidently. "Once we get all the pages, then all of us can sit down and study the secret behind the pages together.”

Everyone in the hall wanted to say something, but since Sima Ru seemed to be listening to Sima Heng so attentively and seriously, nobody dared to speak.

"The Extreme Fist Technique Manual is very mysterious and our ancestors have been hunting it down for generations to no avail. Even if we get all nine pages to ourselves, one clan alone won't be able to fully extract the secret behind it." Sima Heng straightened himself up. "Combining the forces of all eight clans is the most important thing. What we need to do is to fight for more say!"

The hall fell very silent.

There was no other voice except Sima Heng's.

Since Sima Ru was listening intently, nobody dared to interrupt at all.

"It's just one Donghai, but it will need all eight reclusive clans to join hands and attack.” Sima Ru scoffed quietly and could hardly believe it. "The eight reclusive clans have been utterly embarrassed."

They had already been embarrassed, so the more important thing to do now was to get those pages.

They had to get the pages first, then only sit down and think of a way to extract the secret behind the manual.

That was the biggest reason why all of them had hidden themselves deep in the forest and waited for an opportunity.

"Sima Heng!" Sima Ru suddenly called out in a loud voice.

"Yes, Master Sima!" responded Sima Heng loudly as he immediately fell to his knees.

"Since you're the one who suggested it, then I will leave you to do this. I will get two elders to accompany you to visit the other clans. Whether we manage to convince them to join hands or not will depend on you!”
