The Plan Begins-A Surprise Attack on the Zhang Clan

With Wang Chen and Wang Qiang tacitly agreeing, this direct visit to their door to probe their intentions came about.

The three Dou Emperors and the remaining Dou Wang of the Wang Clan all greeted Wang Chen at the main gate.

That's quite polite.

Since the other party was being so kind, Wang Chen naturally wouldn't be ungrateful.

They also didn't act arrogantly, and still gave the Wang Clan a lot of face.

Seeing this, the experts from the Wang Clan felt somewhat relieved.

After all, they were also afraid of letting a wolf into their house.

Although several Dou Wang learned the news from Wang Qiang, they were still a little conflicted at first.

Even when the Wang Clan was facing such a crisis, they did not choose to betray the Wang Clan and establish their own independent entity.

These people are naturally quite loyal.

Upon hearing the news of Wang Chen's collaboration, they naturally felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, this is equivalent to having an extra emperor emeritus.

Fortunately, Wang Chen did not do anything excessive.

The two sides were on good terms.

Inside the Wang Clan hall, Wang Qiang and other senior members of the Wang Clan hosted a banquet for Wang Chen and his entourage.

Those members of the Wang Clan who were able to take a seat at this banquet were all the remaining high-ranking members.

Besides the three Dou Emperor experts, there are also five Dou Wang experts.

These are the remaining experts after the Wang Clan suffered a blow.

At its peak, this could at least double.

It must be said that the cultivation environment in the Northwestern Continent is indeed inferior to that in the Central Plains.

The difference in spiritual energy concentration between the two places still has a significant impact on cultivation.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Wang Chen got down to business.

"Clan Leader Wang, since we've already chosen to cooperate, I won't hold back anymore."

Wang Chen glanced at the Wang Clan members in the hall a few times, then continued speaking.

"There are ten Dou Ling Pills and ten Emperor-Breaking Pill here."

There are also some other elixirs that aid in cultivation.

I hope you can convert these pills into strength as quickly as possible, and then begin the Tier 1 of the plan."

Wang Chen took out a Storage Ring that he had prepared beforehand and said to Wang Qiang.

"I see.

We will definitely begin operations as soon as possible.

Wang Qiang accepted the Storage Ring from Wang Chen and spoke very solemnly.

"Very good, then I wish us a pleasant cooperation and a bright future."

May your future be bright.

After the banquet in the Reception Hall ended, Wang Qiang immediately began to enhance the strength of the entire family.

All those pills were distributed to trusted experts from the Wang Clan.

The three Dou Emperor experts also began consuming Imperial Extreme Pill to enhance their strength.

During this period, Wang Chen will need to help protect the Wang Clan.

This was something that had been discussed and agreed upon from the beginning.

Wang Chen naturally wouldn't refuse.

After all, only when the Wang Clan is powerful enough can his plans be implemented smoothly.

In any case, it's unlikely that other forces in Hanshan City would come knocking on our door so quickly.

After all, this is not a feud between two individuals, but a clash between two forces.

Unless one's strength is overwhelming, no one will blindly rush in.

At the very least, we should gather intelligence and make some preparations, mobilizing our own forces.

That's why Wang Qiang dared to arrange for all the family's experts to cultivate and improve their strength.

Of course, the main reason was the presence of a top expert like Wang Chen; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

Although he didn't understand why Wang Chen didn't do it himself, but instead chose the Wang Clan as a partner.

However, he knew that with Wang Chen's strength, ensuring the safety of the Wang Clan was not a problem.

With all the experts from the Wang Clan in seclusion for cultivation, such a significant move naturally attracted the attention of other forces in Hanshan City.

Just as Wang Chen had initially thought, although the forces in Hanshan City were somewhat confused, none of them launched a direct attack.

Instead, they held meetings and discussions within their own family's sphere of influence.

Then they intensified their probing efforts against the Wang Clan.

However, against a powerful Dou Zong like Wang Chen, the probing attacks from those forces were utterly useless.

They all disappeared silently from the Wang Clan's Headquarters.

This situation also frightened those forces.

Instead of intensifying their probing efforts, they withdrew all of their probing forces.

Of course, they haven't completely given up.

They are all very interested in such a top-tier target Wang Clan.

Those forces that were frightened went directly to their respective leaders.

That is, the Zhang Clan and the Ye Clan.

After all, it was their two families who joined forces to defeat the Wang Clan back then.

Given the Wang Clan's current abnormal behavior, the two eldest sons certainly can't just stand by and do nothing.

The Zhang Clan.

"We've heard about the news you're talking about."

We certainly won't stand idly by.

"No matter what tricks the Wang Clan pulls, we will take action."

Inside the reception room, an elder of the Wang Clan spoke to the younger members who had come to inquire, making a promise.

Of course, all that was said was empty rhetoric, without any concrete methods provided.

They were naturally very aware of the changes in the Wang Clan.

Without knowing the specifics, they couldn't just rush in.

After all, the Zhang Clan also has rivals.

If a fight breaks out with the Wang Clan, the Ye Clan will be laughing all the way to the bank.

At that point, there might only be one major power left in the entire Hanshan City.

"We will discuss it with the Zhang Clan first, and then a decision will be made."

The same thing happened at the Ye Clan, just like at the Zhang Clan.

After a string of empty and pretentious words, the Ye Clan managed to lure their underlings back.

They couldn't possibly stand idly by and watch the changes in the Wang Clan occur.

After all, their relationship with the Wang Clan could be described as irreconcilable.

If the Wang Clan becomes too powerful, then the Ye Clan will inevitably suffer the consequences.

But they couldn't just rush over and deal with the Wang Clan directly.

Because the consequences would be unpredictable.

They still had to respect the Wang Clan's power.

Therefore, they chose to discuss the matter with the Zhang Clan.

After all, it was the two families that joined forces to defeat the Wang Clan last time.

Neither side had a good relationship with the Wang Clan.

If the two families hadn't been sabotaging each other, the Wang Clan might have been wiped out last time.

Time passed day by day.

There was also an undercurrent of unrest throughout the entire Hanshan City.

The Zhang Clan and Ye Clan discussed the matter for five days without reaching a conclusion.

After all, the more people there are, the lower the efficiency.

The two factions were locked in a fierce argument over the potential to destroy the Wang Clan.

Last time, the issue arose because they couldn't agree on the division of profits, so naturally, it won't be so easy to reach a settlement this time.

While the two families were discussing the matter, the Wang Clan was rapidly increasing its strength.

The pills that Wang Chen refined were all of extremely high quality and purity.

Pill Poison and the like are basically nonexistent.

The difficulty level for these experts from the Wang Clan to refine it is naturally relatively lower.

During these five days, most of the Wang Clan members finished their cultivation.

Their abilities have all improved significantly.

The growth is mostly one to two stars.

This level of improvement is considerable.

That's how powerful Advanced Alchemist are—they cheat!

This is precisely why Alchemist enjoy such an exaggerated status.

Wang Clan Hall.

Wang Qiang and the two Dou Emperor elders were currently discussing with Wang Chen whether they could make their move.

After several days of intensive seclusion and cultivation, they had all finished refining the Imperial Extreme Pill.

Their own strength has increased by two levels.

They are the Supreme Elder of the 7-Star Dou Huang, the Great Elder of the 6-Star Dou Huang, and Wang Qiang, the Clan Chief of the 5-Star Dou Huang.

The increase in strength over the past few days has been considerable.

With the Wang Clan's current fighting strength alone, they are fully capable of dealing with one of the two major families in Hanshan City.

Of course, this only applies to dealing with the forces that are outwardly visible.

The hidden strength of the two major powers is not contained in this.

"Now that you're all almost ready, let's get started."

Wang Chen agreed to Wang Qiang's idea without hesitation.

After all, his original intention was to expand his influence as quickly as possible so that he could acquire more resources.

Without engaging in battle and annihilating those powerful forces, where would Wang Chen obtain the high-grade materials needed to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet?

"Who should we attack first?"

Wang Chen also asked.

He was not from Hanshan City and was unaware of the specific details about the area.

As the local strongmen, the Wang Clan must know better than Wang Chen how to handle this situation.

Wang Chen understood one principle very well: an outsider should never give orders to an expert.

Otherwise, it would definitely be a disaster.

Although with Wang Chen's strength, taking over Hanshan City shouldn't be too difficult.

However, Hanshan City is just the beginning; other forces will inevitably be encountered in the future.

It can't always be Wang Chen making the moves, can it?

Then what's the point of him hiding it?!

You can just do it yourself.

Upon hearing Wang Chen's question, Wang Qiang naturally answered without hesitation.

"Let's deal with the Zhang Clan first."

Wang Qiang stated his goal.

Seeing Wang Chen's expression, he then directly stated his reason.

"The Zhang Clan and the Ye Clan are the two most powerful forces in Hanshan City."

We want to dominate Hanshan City and use it as a starting point to expand outwards.

"Then we must deal with these two forces."

Both companies are quite powerful.

Although the Wang Clan had received a supply of pills from Master Wang, their strength had increased dramatically.

However, facing a coalition of two entities is still quite challenging.

"Taking down one of them first will undoubtedly reduce the difficulty of our development."

"Moreover, taking down one of the two major powers first can also intimidate the smaller powers."

At that time, we will be able to select the best from among them and increase the strength of the alliance.

This way, we can quickly expand beyond Hanshan City.

Wang Qiang wasn't blinded by reason; he directly stated his reasons.

Upon hearing this reason, Wang Chen nodded.

After their strength increased, the Wang Clan could be considered the dominant force in Hanshan City.

However, as a small city in the Western Region of the Central Plains, Hanshan City's overall strength can only be considered average.

If we compare it to the Northwestern Continent, then the major city in the Western Region of the Central Plains is the Jia Ma Imperial City, so Hanshan City can only be considered as Qingshan Town.

This is only the Western Region of the Central Plains.

If we consider it as the Central Region of Central Plains, then Hanshan City is even more wretched.

After all, in the Central Plains region, any city that is even slightly powerful has Spatial Channel.

The fact that Hanshan City doesn't have it speaks volumes about the difference.

Absorbing experts from other minor factions is indeed a good way to quickly increase one's strength.

Although those are only small forces, it doesn't mean they don't have experts.

Almost every faction has Dou Emperor expert.

Even without Dou Emperor expert, there are still several high-level Dou Wang.

However, their overall strength cannot compare with that of the Zhang and Ye families, which is why they are considered a minor force.

If they could all unite, even the Zhang and Ye families would not be able to underestimate them.

"Now that we have a goal, let's get started."

Upon hearing Wang Qiang's plan, Wang Chen was unwilling to waste any more time.

"Alright. I'll gather men immediately and launch a surprise attack on the Zhang Clan tonight."

Wang Qiang was also swift and decisive, immediately going down to make the arrangements.

Wang Chen returned to his room and informed Queen Medusa and the others.

This is of paramount importance to Wang Chen's plan.

He naturally has to oversee the process.

Although he wanted to keep a low profile for a while and not expose himself too quickly.

But if the Wang Clan really falls apart, he'll definitely have to step in and lend a hand.

Otherwise, his plan would have collapsed halfway through.

In any case, as long as all the enemies are eliminated, that can be considered a hidden message.

The reason Wang Chen didn't take direct action was also to test the Wang Clan.

After all, if the other party really is hopeless, Wang Chen can withdraw sooner and minimize his losses.

In any case, the initiative is in his hands; even if the Wang Clan fails, he can choose other forces.

In the darkness, the Zhang Clan continued as usual.

The base's defenses are decent, but only decent.

Having dominated Hanshan City for so long, their vigilance had greatly decreased.

If it weren't for the existence of the Ye Clan, who were on par with them, their defensive capabilities would likely have been even weaker.

After all, in the Zhang Clan's opinion, no one would dare to provoke them.

However, this very mindset is causing them immense suffering today.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

The Wang Clan's Dou Emperor and Dou Wang experts spearheaded the attack, launching a surprise assault on the Zhang Clan's stronghold.

With only their normal defensive capabilities, the Zhang Clan would naturally be no match for the experts of the Wang Clan.

The two families already had a deep-seated feud, and now they're aiming to annihilate the Zhang Clan.

The experts from the Wang Clan naturally wouldn't hold back.

Everyone is giving it their all.

The attack was so fierce that it seemed they wanted to raze the entire Zhang Clan compound to the ground.

Such a commotion naturally alerted the experts of the Zhang Clan.

After all, no matter how negligent one is, it's impossible to remain unresponsive in this situation.

Unfortunately, the Wang Clan came prepared and went all out.

Before the Zhang Clan's experts could fully react, the Wang Clan's Dou Emperor and Dou Wang experts joined forces to deal with the Zhang Clan's experts.

To fight with superior numbers and strength.

This efficiency is naturally quite high.

In less than five minutes, the Zhang Clan lost one Dou Emperor and three Dou Wang.

This loss is considerable.

Of course, the experts in the Zhang Clan weren't fools either.

The chaos persisted, and many more experts were killed.

Those remaining naturally couldn't stay alone any longer.
