CHAPTER 1515 SURROUND AND ATTACK DONGHAI
Sima Heng took a step forward, clasped his hands politely and had a bright smile on his face. He looked extremely respectful.
Since he had introduced himself as a junior, he was going to make sure he looked the part.
Fang Wei turned to glance at him, then glanced at the rest of the men with him. The others were actually all standing behind Sima Heng, and this surprised Fang Wei.
All eight reclusive clans held onto a pride of sorts, and nobody was willing to be subservient to anybody else.
But now, a younger person from the Sima clan seemed to have become their spokesperson.
"Master Fang, we have really come here to talk about the Extreme Fist Technique Manual. Sima Heng is representing the seven clans here, so we'll let him say what needs to be said.”
The person who said that was an elder from the Xu clan. His eyes were half closed as he spoke and didn't seem to like Fang Wei very much.
He treated Sima Heng the same way.
Age seniority and hierarchy was extremely important and strictly followed within the reclusive clans. Sima Heng was much younger than himself, so if the head of the Xu clan hadn't given him orders, he wouldn't have cared about this Sima Heng at all.
He had no idea how this young fellow hypnotized Master Xu either. He had actually believed Sima Heng and agreed to his request.
The elders from the An clan and Xin clan also spoke up and they clearly wanted Sima Heng to speak on their behalf.
The two elders from the Sima clan were so old that their hair and brows were all white and their eyes were droopy. When they saw how Sima Heng managed to clinch the position of spokesperson in front of all the reclusive clans, they couldn't help but start to change their opinion of this glib tongued youngster.

It was little wonder why the most senior elder in the clan valued him. This fellow wasn't gifted in martial arts, but he was a really smart man!
"Master Fang.” Sima Heng just smiled. He knew that Fang Wei had no regard for him, but he was neither angry nor anxious. "I'm grateful that the other elders have such high hopes for me. I will be in charge of communicating with Master Fang then."
Fang Wei didn't say anything.
He didn't have to give in to Sima Heng and he didn't have to care about the Sima clan either. But since elders from the other clans had come to his house, he had to show them some basic courtesy.
"Come in then!" Fang Wei stepped aside. Sima Heng went ahead to walk into the hall after he smiled and nodded.
The rest followed behind him.
Everyone took their seats in the hall while Fang Wei took the main seat. He could sense that none of these people were here with kind intentions.
People from the other seven reclusive clans had appeared at the same time and they were all elders from the various clans. Were they going to join hands and snatch the page that the Fang family had?
Then Fang family only had one page anyway. Even if they took it away from him, how were these seven clans going to split it among themselves?
"An upright person is forthcoming with his words. The seven clans have sent representatives here for the manual, but the Fang family only has one page because we were lucky." Fang Wei went straight to the point because he didn't want to go beating around the bush anymore. "If you intend to join hands and take the page away from me, I'd advise all of you to give it up." "The Fang family might not be able to hold up against a coalition of the seven other clans, but I will not allow anyone to humiliate my clan like this!"
He put on a tough front because surrendering had never crossed his mind.
He wasn't going to surrender even if the other seven clans ganged up against him.
"Master Fang, please relax," Sima Heng quickly smiled and clasped his hands together politely. "We are here to talk about the manual, but it's not because we want the page from the Fang clan."
"The page that the Fang clan has belongs to the Fang clan. We're all reclusive clans, so why would we want to kill each other? What we want are the pages in Donghai. I hear that there are at least three or four pages there, right?"
Fang Wei stared at Sima Heng and narrowed his eyes.
He didn't expect that this fellow would have his eye on the pages that Jiang Ning was holding onto!
But Jiang Ning was no ordinary man and that Donghai was certainly no ordinary place.
"Master Fang, I'm sure you are more familiar with Donghai than us, right?" continued Sima Heng. "So all of us have come here to ask that the Fang clan joins hands with us to surround and attack Donghai together!"
