CHAPTER 1516 TAKE ORDERS FROM THE FANG CLAN

Surround and attack Donghai?

Fang Wei's gaze changed.

He never expected Sima Heng to raise such a suggestion.

Surround and attack Donghai?

Was one tiny Donghai formidable to this extent?

When Fang Wei thought about Jiang Ning, he thought of the deceased Heishan, Fang Xia, his highest ranking bodyguards and the dozens of men who had died. Fang Wei knew very well that it was too hard for one clan to get more pages from Jiang Ning or Donghai.

And even if they managed to get any pages, none of them could afford to bear the losses they would incur in the process.

"Surround and attack Donghai?"

Fang Wei's gaze became aggressive as he stared straight at Sima Heng. A murderous air started emanating from his body.

"Are you trying to fool me? I'm not so easily fooled, you know?!" Fang Wei scoffed coldly. He wasn't going to fall for this so easily.

Sima Heng wanted the eight reclusive clans to join hands and surround and attack Donghai together? This was something they had never done before. Besides, each clan would have their own agenda in mind, so how could they combine forces? Who would they listen to?

And who would be willing to listen to someone else's orders?

"I'm not lying to you. Everyone here is an elder from the other clans and they can represent their own clans here," said Sima Heng seriously. "If I dare to spout nonsense, not only will all these elders kill me, even my own clan's elders would immediately slaughter me fore ruining their reputation.”

"So Master Fang, you need not worry. I am only a small fry after all, so why would I dare to fool any of you?”

"I have come today because I have the agreement of all the heads of the seven other clans. So we would like to ask the Fang clan to join us in attacking Donghai and get those other pages. Since the Fang clan knows a lot more about Donghai than we do, I think it is suitable for the Fang clan to lead this coalition." This belongs to : ©.

Fang Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard these words.

He thought he had heard Sima Heng wrongly.

Let the Fang clan be the leader?

They were going to let him be the leader of the combined forces of the eight reclusive clans? How could that be?

"You want to attack Donghai and you're going to allow the Fang clan to be the leader?"

Fang Wei scanned everyone in the hall and looked carefully at each person's face. He found it too hard to believe and felt that this had to be a trap of sorts.

Allowing the Fang clan to be the leader was equivalent as giving up their say!

"That's right," the elder from the Xu clan nodded his head.

"We have nothing to hide. All of us have sent people out from this mountain and we've all suffered losses because of Donghai, and clearly we didn't get a single page either."

"Donghai is no simple place, so trying to use other methods to force them to hand the pages over is simply impossible. So we have no choice but to attack them directly!"

"Since the Fang clan managed to get one page, that means you have an understanding of Donghai. So it's only right of us to make you the leader of this combined team."

The elder glanced at Fang Wei. "After all, there are nine pages to the manual. Even if you get all nine pages, you'd still need all eight reclusive clans to decipher the secret behind it together. Those were the instructions left behind by our ancestors, and I'm sure Master Fang is well aware of it."

"Once we get all the pages, then we'll split the power each of us has again after that. That is the best method right now,” the elder from the An clan expressed his agreement.

The most important thing now was to get the pages first. As for deciphering the secret of the manual and how to split the spoils, that could be decided later.

"Master Fang, no matter what, none of those plebians out there have the right to hold onto something like the Extreme Fist Technique Manual. This belongs to the eight reclusive clans, and it is a secret that only the eight clans should own," said Sima Heng. "The seven other reclusive clans are willing to join hands with the Fang clan and listen to Master Fang's orders to surround and attack Donghai together!"
