The people of the Chen Family had not failed to think of this strategy.
Rather, they had previously only considered that if they made the first move against the Control Guard, they would certainly alert the enemy.
That would draw the Commerce Guild's attention, which would be completely counterproductive to their plans.
By then, it would no longer be convenient for them to continue acting secretly and stealthily.
This would create quite a few obstacles for their subsequent plans out of thin air.
What they had not considered was that if the Control Guard's strength were weakened, the other lineages would certainly begin itching to make a move.
If they stirred things up a little from within, those lineages harboring ulterior motives would certainly be unable to sit still.
By then, the entire Nether River Commerce would surely descend into chaos.
At the very least, the Commerce Guild's attention on them would drop drastically.
That would be of immense benefit to their actions.
In fact, this method was not something they had failed to consider.
Rather, they knew that if they made the move against the Control Guard themselves, it would certainly tie up too much of their manpower.
Then, if they wanted to continue attacking the Soaring Sky Commerce Guild while suppressing the other lineages, they would be stretched beyond their limits.

As for them, they would attack the Commerce Guild's people, along with the other lineages protecting the Commerce Guild.
They could even tie down some of the lineages
