The Three Continents are intricately intertwined with powerful factions, and countless families have a long and rich history!

There's a saying in the Three Continents: "The established families remain, but the kings come and go!"

No matter who becomes the new king of this region, you will find it difficult to avoid being hampered by those entangled powerful families!

They control countless resources, yet they never dare to charge into battle when faced with various crises.

Zheng Yu, a ruthless man who kills without blinking an eye, had originally planned to take action against the Zheng Yu families in the territory of Martial Emperor City, but Zheng Yu stopped Cheng Xiaotian before he could make a move.

Cheng Xiaotian said, "Yu'er, do you think I'm unaware of the problems caused by these aristocratic families? Do you think I don't want to get rid of them?"

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't!

First of all, Zheng Yu, take a look at how many of the disciples and even elders in our Martial Emperor City come from these aristocratic families?

You're going to target their Lineage now; ask them if they'll agree.

Okay, even if our Martial Emperor City goes all out and really makes a move, do you know how intricate the relationships between these aristocratic families are, built on various marriage alliances and exchanges of interests?

Our Martial Emperor City is a prestigious and righteous sect. Even if we want to eliminate these powerful families, we need a reason, right?

And now that you've just found a reason to make your move, and you've just eliminated the first powerful family, do you believe that ten thousand powerful families will suddenly jump out and launch a frenzied attack on your Martial Emperor City from all sides?

The reputation of Martial Emperor City can surpass Demonic Sect of the Demonic Sect overnight!

People tend to follow the crowd. They don't know what Martial Emperor City has done. If they just parrot what others say, they will think that Martial Emperor City has killed countless innocent people, Martial Emperor City's reputation will collapse in an instant!

So, to get rid of these toxic families, it's not enough to just have a sharp knife; you have to be willing to die with them!

Historically, there have been instances where desperate forces targeted powerful clans, but what was the outcome? The powerful forces disappeared, but the powerful clans still existed, and new powerful clans might even emerge!

This is the reality of a powerful family that remains unchanged while its leaders come and go.

It's like playing chess; sometimes a pawn is just as powerful as your rook, knight, or cannon.

Therefore, throughout history, major powers and aristocratic families have strived to maintain a balance that is acceptable to both sides, but it is also a way for both sides to check and balance each other!

The powerful families would make tributes to the various forces as scheduled, but the resources they paid were completely disproportionate to the resources they controlled.

Normally, Martial Emperor City can use various methods to create conflicts and infighting among these aristocratic families, thereby weakening their power!

Make them obey the wishes of Martial Emperor City.

But believe it or not, if you really kill a certain aristocratic family, other aristocratic families, even if they have a blood feud with that family, will stand up to resist Martial Emperor City.

The principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold" is something these powerful families understand better than anyone else.

They fight for profit, but when it comes to life and death, they are more united than anyone else.

Therefore, even powerful forces have their limitations; they can check and balance these aristocratic families, but they cannot eradicate them!

Even if you have a knife, it's very difficult to cut these powerful families.

And do you think these aristocratic families are just aristocratic families?

They own countless businesses, and countless ordinary people and even Rogue Cultivators rely on these businesses to make a living.

When you take action against these powerful families, you are essentially cutting off the livelihoods of many people. Unless you eliminate these Rogue Cultivators and ordinary people along with Martial Emperor City, you will be unable to touch these powerful families!

Because once a fight breaks out, you'll find that the common people and Rogue Cultivators won't stand by your side at all.

Therefore, this is almost an unsolvable problem.

But this time, Ma Liang's strike was far too ruthless!

With the Spiritual Qi of the Three Continents depleted, Ma Liang seized this opportunity to forcibly bind everyone together on one boat.

In this situation, the major powers of the Three Continents took the initiative and declared their willingness to do everything in their power to protect the common people. Under these circumstances, all parties of the Three Continents are asked to share weal and woe. Whether you are an ordinary citizen or a powerful family, you have no choice but to follow suit.

The major powers set an example by binding all the common people and Rogue Cultivators to themselves with a one-tenth plan, since one-tenth was nothing to them!

The next blow will fall on the heads of all the powerful clans, because they too must now contribute one-tenth of their share. If they don't, what will happen? Are you clans going to stand against everyone in the Three Continents?

So Cheng Xiaotian asked Zheng Yu, "Did you think Ma Liang just casually suggested this plan?"

But did you notice that this time when Ma Liang spoke, even Chu Xinghe didn't say a word?

The reason is simple: Ma Liang came from a prestigious family, and he understood the ways of the elite all too well!

You, Zheng Yu, also come from a prominent family. Just look at how many people from your Zheng Lineage have come to you after this message was sent out.

However, Ma Liang's plan to live as long as Same Lifespan as Heaven and Earth cannot break the aristocratic families. In the past, if you said that our Martial Emperor City was going to attack the aristocratic families, the aristocratic family members would come to find their disciples and elders in our Martial Emperor City. Because of their background, the disciples and elders would do everything they could to stop the sect from attacking the aristocratic families.

But this time, no one could stop it!

Who dares to stop it?

My Martial Emperor City spared no effort in setting up the Reverse Spirit Formation for the sake of all living beings, and you're saying your Lineage isn't even willing to contribute one-tenth of that?

What is your background? Are you trying to make an enemy of all living beings across the Three Continents?

Hearing his master's words, Zheng Yu broke out in a cold sweat...

Only at this moment did Zheng Yu realize that he was not only inferior to Senior Brother Xinghe, but he was even inferior to Ma Liang.

That's too brutal... Ma Liang's move of "Same Lifespan as Heaven and Earth" plus "Overcoming Difficulties Together" is equivalent to delivering a truly devastating blow to all the aristocratic families of the Three Continents.

It might sound like one-tenth of the resources wouldn't shake the foundations of aristocratic families, but after this blow, all aristocratic families in the world will definitely suffer some damage, and for the next ten years they will have to live with their tails between their legs!

Cheng Xiaotian said that when Ma Liang proposed this plan, all you young people thought was that Ma Liang wanted to make a killing?

In fact, Ma Liang's move this time was not just a simple profit; he essentially shattered the barrier built up by the malignant tumors of the aristocratic families in the Three Continents over the years. After this strike, all the aristocratic families in the Three Continents will have to keep a low profile from now on.

In the past, unless you recklessly slaughtered powerful families, the result was usually mutual destruction. But after this, everyone understood that as long as you mastered the essence of Ma Liang's "Same Lifespan as Heaven and Earth," you could definitely inflict heavy losses on powerful families!

"Yu'er, you don't need to be discouraged by Ma Liang's plan. Don't forget, Ma Liang is Chu Xinghe's most trusted confidant! He has been influenced by Chu Xinghe from a young age and has long surpassed the comprehension of you younger generation. Even we old folks are deeply impressed by Ma Liang's plan to live as long as Same Lifespan as Heaven and Earth!"

"With this plan in place, Ma Liang's position as the Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Holy Land will be virtually unassailable."

"Master, do you think this scheme might have been devised by Senior Brother Xinghe? And deliberately revealed through Ma Liang's words?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xiaotian shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Chu Xinghe's moves are always open schemes that you can't understand. Although Ma Liang's plan is strong, it's still somewhat inferior to Chu Xinghe's."

The Three Continents were in an uproar over Ma Liang's plan to make Same Lifespan as Heaven and Earth.

This time, all the major powers in the Three Continents remained completely silent after issuing their announcements!

The reason is simple: this time, there's no need for major powers to speak up. The united efforts of the Rogue Cultivators and ordinary people from the Three Continents to fight against all the powerful and wealthy families are enough!

"To live as Same Lifespan as Heaven and Earth... What a Same Lifespan as Heaven and Earth... Ma Liang's scheme is too cunning!"

"Patriarch, we cannot admit defeat now! We must fight back!"

"Yes! When have our aristocratic families ever been forced to this point? Ma Liang thinks he can single-handedly shake up all the aristocratic families of the Three Continents? He's delusional!"

"Indeed, even if all of us noble families unite, we can't defeat Ma Liang's little trick?"

"We absolutely will not hand over any resources. If all else fails, we'll set up the Reverse Spirit Formation ourselves!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the aristocratic families fell silent!

What the hell? You set up Reverse Spirit Formation yourself? You think this Reverse Spirit Formation is some kind of joke?

The Reverse Spirit Formation that powerful forces set up with all their might would require an enormous amount of resources to complete unless all the aristocratic families joined forces.

But don't forget, setting up the Reverse Spirit Formation might consume more than one-tenth of the resources!

In this situation, some powerful families might say they would rather spend more resources to confront the major powers head-on.

But the problem is, don't forget, the powerful families from all Three Continents aren't simply a matter of one or two people making decisions. When so many powerful families come together, do you expect everyone to agree?

Are you kidding me?

Numerous powerful families expressed that Ma Liang's plan of one-tenth of the original plan was truly a fatal blow to everyone's vital artery.

Because this one-tenth of the quantity is too malicious.

While paying one-tenth would be a significant blow to aristocratic families, it wouldn't shake their very foundations, so paying it wouldn't be unacceptable.

However, if one doesn't pay this one-tenth, setting up the Reverse Spirit Formation oneself would consume far more than one-tenth.

Paying means losing one-tenth of your income, not paying means losing half. Tell me, in this situation, what would you choose?

Of course, there were some tough guys out there. At this moment, quite a few powerful families said, "Brothers, if we back down, we'll only be able to talk on our knees!"

So even if we suffer greater losses, we must withstand this wave. As long as we withstand this wave, our family can preserve everything we have before!

We will naturally be able to get everything we've lost back then!

If we compromise this time, what about next time? And the time after that?

Faced with this argument, many prominent families were indeed persuaded!

But at this very moment, a powerful family spoke up...

"Well... have you all forgotten? Chu Xinghe is known as the Aristocratic Family Killer... This time it was only Ma Liang who made the move, but if we don't give in, what if Chu Xinghe does..."

Upon hearing this, all the aristocratic families fell silent...

Because there's nothing wrong with that statement. Although Ma Liang's plan was vicious, if all the powerful families stood up to fight back, although they would suffer heavy losses, they wouldn't be without the strength to fight!

But don't forget, behind Ma Liang stands the man known as the Aristocratic Family Killer Chu Xinghe.

If Chu Xinghe Ma Liang -on and push him to the brink, can you imagine what kind of methods Chu Xinghe would employ?

Faced with the reputation of Chu Xinghe, the Aristocratic Family Killer, the powerful families...

For the first time in millions of years, it fell silent...
