An overnight upheaval
Watt reported, "Sir, the Deacon of the Spirit Hall are all working overtime tonight."
"The news was spread door-to-door by the various Deacon. At the same time, around midnight, our Spirit Hall's Deacon will escort the people outside the city into the city to sell their grain."
"I believe that with the adults' arrangements, things will definitely change within the city."
Wu Qi nodded slightly.
He knew that all of this was only temporary.
No matter how much inventory the Li Family had, it couldn't withstand the people hoarding like this.
If the Li family cannot win over the remaining Four Great Clans, they will only exploit the Li family even more ruthlessly after the Li Family sells all its goods.
Huyan Zhen has agreed not to interfere, but for the sake of their reputation, they will not discard them after they have served their purpose, nor will they take the initiative to attack the major families.
At this point, the only thing they could do was to remove all the guards living in the residences of the major families.
Midnight.
The scene in the city deeply agitated the Four Great Clans.
The Li Family's actions clearly demonstrate that they have groveled before Wu Qi.
With traitors emerging from among the major families, the alliances and rivalries have been broken. If no action is taken soon, the family may be disintegrated from within.
The Chen Family Mansion.
The Clan Head keenly sensed something.
When they left the table, the Li Family father and son remained at the scene.
He understood that this was a scheme orchestrated by Wu Qi, who must have a more lucrative business that he had entrusted to the Li Family.
The Li Family's actions are a gesture of goodwill. Furthermore, with the help of the Spirit Hall, the Li Family is very likely to annex other families.
The Clan Head felt a pang of regret. If he had hesitated for a moment and stayed until the end, wouldn't all the good fortune have fallen on the Chen Family?
It's too late to say anything now.
Wu Qi's identity is definitely not simple; he must be a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall.
Next, the other party will definitely Plowing Through the Courtyard and Sweeping the Cave all obstacles and change the commercial landscape of Wangbei City.
Upon realizing this, the Clan Head immediately ordered his family to pack their belongings and prepare to leave Wangbei City.
Wangbei City is destined to be occupied by the Li Family. Staying here will only make us prisoners. It's better to avoid their sharp edge and develop in other cities.
While packing up his belongings, he also ordered his men to follow the example of the Li Family and sell all the goods in his inventory at the same price as the Li Family, converting them into Gold Soul Coin to start a new business in other places.
The Wang Family Residence.
"What? The Chen Family has also 'betrayed' us?" The Clan Head's face was extremely gloomy.
At first, he only knelt before the Li Family.
With the Li Family's inventory, it's not enough to support the purchasing desires of the entire city's residents. Now, with the addition of the Chen Family, the city's market will likely become saturated in the short term.
Their goods, however, could only sit in their hands, getting moldy and smelly.
Once this batch of goods is consumed, the next batch will arrive in Wangbei City.
This is clearly a scheme orchestrated by Wu Qi in conjunction with the Li and Chen families against the three of them.
As he said before, the price of a commodity depends on supply and demand.
With stable supply and demand and stable prices, who would be willing to pay high prices for their goods?
As for the scattered bandits outside the city, they posed no threat to the caravan. The previous explanation was nothing but an excuse.
But is the Wang Family truly willing to accept defeat?
It should be noted that among these five major families, the Wang Family family is the largest.
If they concede now, the market share will definitely be divided up by the Li and Chen families.
Therefore, he decided to fight to the death.
Since the Li and Chen families were selling their goods at a flat price, he joined forces with the other two major families to hoard all of their goods!
Wu Qi hadn't expected the Chen Family to be so sensible.
However, he has already decided to support the Li Family and will definitely not pay attention to the Chen Family's actions.
Since the Clan Head is sensible, he'll give him a chance to cash out and leave. Otherwise, if he remains stubborn, he won't hesitate to resort to underhanded tactics.
At this moment, he had already arrived outside the Wang Family mansion.
The Black Tiger Sect's powerful members stationed at the Wang Family's residence had already quietly withdrawn.
In this way, he could "go on a killing spree".
The Divine Slaughter's Domain was activated, and the powerful surge of Soul Power flung open the gates of the royal palace.
Six Soul Ring, yellow, purple, black, and red, shone beneath his feet.
The guards of the Prince's mansion had never seen anything like this before, and they were immediately terrified and their legs went weak.
"Soul Emperor, Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring? How is that possible?!"
Even if Wu Qi absorbed Soul Ring of a higher level from his First Spirit Ring onwards, it would be impossible for him to absorb Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring by his Sixth Soul Ring.
It's important to understand how powerful the resentment of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is. Without sufficient strength, Divine Sense sea will definitely be destroyed when absorbing Soul Ring.
In some cases, even extremely powerful Soul Beast can possess Soul Master because of this.
These people have limited knowledge and do not know that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast can Sacrifice.
However, even if they are Soul King powerhouse, they would be helpless against Soul Emperor with a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring.
When the Clan Head arrived, most of the guards were already dead or wounded. He pointed at Wu Qi and shouted, "So what if you have Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring? You're just Soul Emperor, while we have the Black Tiger Sect behind us!"
Wu Qi sat down on a stone chair with a smile on his face. "I'll give you one minute to summon the Black Tiger Sect's hidden experts from within the manor. Otherwise, I can't guarantee how many people I'll kill; I might even slaughter your entire family."
The Clan Head was taken aback by his imposing manner. He swallowed hard and hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Xiluo Duo, please lend a helping hand! My Wang Family will be eternally grateful!"
The Black Tiger Sect's experts had already received Huyan Zhen's message and had withdrawn long ago. No matter how the Clan Head called out, he received no response.
Wu Qi stood up and shrugged. "Unfortunately, no one can help you. I've given you a choice, and since you didn't cherish it, don't blame me."
With just a glance, his powerful Spiritual Power completely annihilated the opponent!
The Clan Head finally understood why, even on his deathbed!
The other party's background was probably more significant than he had imagined, while his Wang Family had been abandoned by the Elephant Armor Sect and the Black Tiger Sect.
As for the family members of the Prince's household, Wu Qi had no intention of killing them.
According to Li Wenzhong, the Clan Head was extremely domineering and had absolute authority at home.
These things were done by him alone; his family members were merely dragged into it.
Wu Qi was not a bloodthirsty person, and the murderous aura in the Divine Slaughter's Domain did not cloud his judgment.
"Wang Family are hereby ordered to leave Wangbei City by noon tomorrow. I will allow you to take your valuables from the manor, but the supplies your family has hoarded will no longer belong to you!"
With the Wang Family settled, the next two families will be dealt with.
But when Wu Qi arrived at Huang's residence, it was already deserted.
Having learned of the Wang Family's plight, the Huang Clan Head fled Wangbei City with his family early on.
He had no interest in the family's supplies.
Having a chance to escape is better than dying here!
The other family— the Xu Family —was in the same situation.
When faced with mutual benefits, these three companies dare to stick together, but once they encounter a major disaster, they scatter and flee.
Overnight, the landscape of Wangbei City has changed dramatically!
The beneficiaries, naturally, were the ordinary people in the city.
