CHAPTER 1517 TRAMPLE THEIR CITY WALLS
Sima Heng's words sounded like an illusion to Fang Wei.
Which one among the eight reclusive clans would be willing to submit to someone else and listen to someone else's orders?
But now, a youngster like Sima Heng was actually representing the other seven clans to say that they were willing to let the Fang clan take the lead to join hands and attack Donghai together.
None of this sounded real.
But the elders from the other clans all nodded they heads and acknowledged what Sima Heng was saying.
Fang Wei narrowed his eyes and felt that something was not quite right somewhere.
But Sima Heng's words also made a lot of sense.
The eight reclusive clans had chosen to conceal themselves in Mount Zhongnan back then precisely because they were waiting for the manual to make an
appearance.
They existed for the sake of the Extreme Fist Technique Manual. They were supposed to decipher the secrets of the manual and to pursue a higher calling.
Even if they had collected all nine pages, it would take the combined effort of all eight reclusive families to take out the items they had inherited over the years in order to crack the code behind the manual.
Working together before getting the pages seemed to be the best option at the moment.
"By allowing the Fang clan to take the lead, it means the other seven clans will listen to my instructions?" Fang Wei scoffed and still felt like this was difficult to believe.
"Do you know what that implies?”
"The Fang clan has one page of the manual, so your clan naturally has more say," said Sima Heng. "All seven clans have agreed on that."
"Everyone's aim is very clear. We are all here for the sake of the secret behind the manual, so Master Fang, you really don't have to be so worried."
He was telling the truth.
Of course Fang Wei knew that the one with more pages got more say. That was exactly what he was after in the first place.
All eight clans were working towards obtaining more pages. Even if all eight clans held onto one page, whoever had the additional ninth page would get more say. But when it came to deciphering the secret behind the manual, none of the clans could be left out.
Fang Wei didn't say anything. He frowned and went into deep thought.
He still felt that this had come a little too suddenly, yet at the same time, that was what he wanted to achieve. In fact, this was the best method to get to what he wanted.
"Alright then!" Fang Wei looked up. "Since everyone is agreeable to let the Fang clan take the lead and all of you trust the Fang clan, then of course, I can't let everyone down."
He stood up and looked at everyone.
"So what if Donghai is a forbidden territory?" Fang Wei scoffed coldly. "Once the eight reclusive clans join hands, even if Donghai is surrounded by bronze and iron walls, we'll still be able to trample all over their city walls!"
"There are a number of pages still left in Donghai, so we're going to get them all back now!”
His gaze slowly became colder and colder.
He was going to kill that Jiang Ning as well!
Did Jiang Ning think he could get away with killing Fang Xia?
Did Jiang Ning think he could get away with taking Fang Ran away?
Jiang Ning could dream on! Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Once the eight clans joined hands, then one tiny Donghai and one tiny Jiang Ning... were going to be trampled upon easily!
"Master Fang is truly an imposing man!" Sima Heng quickly said all the right things. "With Master Fang as our leader, I'm sure that we'll be able to obtain all the pages in the shortest time possible. Once all eight clans join hands, who will be able to stop us?"
Everyone nodded.
The eight clans had never tried to join hands before.
But if they put their minds to it, there was nothing they couldn't do.
"Since we're all agreeable, then let's proceed to discuss what we actually have to do." Sima Heng looked around and smiled. "The Fang clan will lead the way and each clan shall contribute some
highly skilled fighters. It's just one Donghai, so even though it's supposedly a forbidden territory, I'm sure we can raze it to the ground."
All of them remained in the hall and immediately started making plans.
Meanwhile.
Donghai!
This was a city famous for being a forbidden territory, a forbidden zone.
No matter who you were, you were forbidden from making trouble in this city.
The reputation of Donghai reached much further than Jiang Ning's. Most people only knew that Donghai was a forbidden territory, but very few actually knew that the man who had created this forbidden zone was actually Jiang Ning!
