In this world, families huddled together for warmth, and the ties of blood ran far closer than they had in Zhang Qingyuan's previous life.
For an entire family, whether the main lineage or branch lineages, large or small, basically lived together.
They were trained together in the clan school, and clansmen grew up together from childhood.
There might be competition within the family,
but when the family faced danger, everyone would unite as one and face external enemies together.
In this world where savage laws stood everywhere, only unity could strengthen a family's ability to withstand risks from the outside world!
It was not as though there were no families Filled With intrigue and schemes in this world.
But such families
would undoubtedly soon become meat on someone else's platter.
Because dealing with such family powers was simply too easy.
Thus, those that could survive
were, for the overwhelming majority, family powers that were united within and able to resist external enemies as one.
The survival of the fittest
was undoubtedly the result of natural selection.
The Huainan Zhang Family was likewise a Family Power with close blood ties.
Especially since the calamity of over twenty or thirty years ago had only recently passed, and thanks to Zhang Qingyuan's meteoric rise to fame—the Zhang Family having produced a monstrous prodigy—once word spread, others would more or less give the Zhang Family some face.
Their expansion outward further diluted the family's internal conflicts, making the clansmen even more united and close-knit.
But accompanying this was also hidden danger.
Perhaps Lu Tianxu did not believe that exterminating Zhang Qingyuan's relatives would be enough to force him out.
Putting himself in his shoes, if he had encountered the same situation before advancing to Cave True,
he would certainly have abandoned all his clansmen
