Chapter 705: The Shangguan Family of Xiangxi

ve taken back control of Absolute Valley, many people still don't accept me and even support Abruptly.As long as the three of us don't interfere, they will inevitably secretly let them off the hook.As...Ye Bufan said, "It's possible."

He told her everything that happened tonight. Sima Wei gasped after hearing it: "You actually killed people from the Shangguan family"

The two people, one is named Shangguan Hongbing and the other is Shangguan Hongxia. One controls corpses, and the other controls insects.

Sima Wei cried out, "That's the Shangguan family's. Now things are going to be quite a bit of trouble."

Ye Bufan asked, "Is the Shangguan family very scary"

"Of course it's frightening," Sima Wei said. "Xiangxi has three major forces: the Gu King, the Shangguan family, and the Zhu You family. They are only slightly weaker in strength than the top families in the capital, but they are even more terrifying."

Of these three, the Zhu family's pharmacy is known for its honesty and transparency. They are skilled in treating illnesses and helping people, with an excellent reputation.

The Gu King is mysterious and unpredictable, while the Shangguan family is sinister and ruthless, known for exacting revenge.

For so many years, no one has dared to provoke the Shang family, or they would face a life-or-death situation.

Ye Bufan said, "What's the situation with the Shangguan family Tell me about it in detail."

As the saying goes, "Knowing yourself and your enemy means you will never be in peril." Although he is not afraid of the Shangguan family, it is still important to figure out their cards.

Sima Wei said, “Have you ever heard of the Three Evils of Xiangxi”

Ye Bufan said, "Before I came to Xiangxi, I only had two impressions: gu worms and corpse-carrying. I don't know anything else."

"Not much difference, the three evils of Xiangxi refer to catching corpses, refining Gu worms, and the women from Luohuadong."

Sima Wei said, "Although the art of corpse refinement is an evil sorcery, it is profound and vast. Corpse catching is just a small branch among them, but it is the one that people usually see the most."

As one of the largest families, the Shangguan family is most adept at these two things: necromancy and gu sorcery.

It is rumored that Shangguan Xiong, the head of the family, has mastered the art of refining corpses to a great extent and has already produced golden corpse-level puppets.

Ye Bufan said, "A golden corpse Wouldn't that be equivalent to the existence of a heavenly rank master"

Sima Wei said, "That's right, that's precisely why no one dares to provoke the Shangguan family, so you must be careful."

Yè Bùfán said: "But I can't figure it out. Jiangnan and Jiangbei are not far from Xiangxi, and our family has never had any dealings with the Shangguan family. Why would they come to trouble me"

"I don't know about that either. Although the Xuan Yuan Pavilion has a powerful network of information, it's not omnipotent. It's especially weak in Xiangxi."

Especially the three major factions in Xiangxi, due to the special circumstances, our people can't infiltrate at all.

"Go in, and you'll find it's a complete blind spot for intelligence."

Sima Wei said, “This is also something I find very strange. Although the Shangguan family is wicked and domineering, they are based in Xiangxi and have virtually no contact with the outside world. How could they suddenly send people to attack you And they sent such a powerful force all at once.”

Ye Bufan frowned: "Since we have no intelligence, we can only rely on guessing."

Could it be that someone from the Jiangbei Four Great Families contacted the Shangguan Family through some channel, and they're now going after me

"It's basically impossible." Sima Wei said, "The Jiangbei Four Great Families wouldn't even be considered a fart in front of the Shangguan Family. They don't have the qualifications to command them at all."

Ye Bufan said, "What if we use money"

Sima Wei said, "This might not work. The Sima family has been entrenched in Xiangxi for years and they are incredibly wealthy. Compared to them, the wealth of the Jiangbei Four Great Families is like peanuts – it wouldn't even make a dent."

Ye Bufan thought about it and agreed. If this was related to the Four Great Clans, they wouldn't have cooperated with Black Widow when coming to Jiangbei City. They should have gone directly to the Four Great Clans.

And later, the Shangguan siblings unhesitatingly sacrificed Black Widow, clearly indicating that they were not in a cooperative relationship.

"Since it's not one of the Four Great Families, then who is it"

Ye Bufan hated the feeling of having a powerful enemy lurking in the shadows, completely unknown to him.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and said, "Could it be that the Changsun family is behind this"

As you said, the Changsun family is the top family in the imperial capital, with greater strength than the Shangguan family. They should have the ability to coerce the other party into doing things for them.

"That's impossible."

Sima Wei directly refuted Ye Bufan's statement, "According to you, the Changsun family does have this ability. As long as they speak up, the Shangguan family will definitely give the Changsun family face, but they don't have the motive to do so."

First, Changsun Dongju, due to certain special relationships, has already ostensibly severed ties with the Changsun family.

Although you have dealt with Changsun Sheng, you have effectively helped Changsun Dongju. How can they possibly have any reason to attack you

Next, even if the Changsun family wanted to deal with you, they wouldn't need to seek out the Shangguan family. From the perspective of a prominent family, it would be beneath them to do so.

To know that the top families in the imperial capital all have Heavenly Rank experts, and there are countless Earth Rank experts is nothing short of astounding.

If the Changsun family wanted to deal with you, they could just send a few masters, there was no need to travel thousands of miles to Xiangxi to ask for help.

Ye Bufan nodded.

(To be continued, please turn the page)

I'm not powerful enough to directly confront the influential families of the Imperial Capital yet, and the Changsun family also has no motive to attack me.

He frowned and said, "That's strange. Could it be that the Shangguan family has gone mad, suddenly attacking someone as insignificant as me"

"If you can't figure it out, don't worry about it. I'll pay attention to helping you gather this kind of information in the future."

Sima Wei said, "Now the most urgent thing is that you must protect yourself. The Shangguan family has always been narrow-minded and vindictive."

Now we've suffered losses: two core disciples, one silver corpse, and ten bronze corpses. They will definitely send more people to retaliate against you, and they will be experts for sure.

"Come on then, even though the Shangguan family is powerful, this isn't Xiangxi after all, and I'm not someone to be bullied."

As an inheritor, Ye Bufan has his own trump cards and confidence.

If martial arts fail, then use Xuanmen sorcery. If Xuanmen sorcery fails, there are still Qimen formations. In short, I will not be slaughtered by others, even if the opponent is the Shangguan family.

Thinking about this, he asked again, "By the way, what did you call me for"

Sima Wei said: "There are two things I want to tell you. First, the Heavenly Soldiers plan has finally been successfully approved at the upper levels of Xuanyuan Pavilion and has officially entered the selection stage."

I'll be heading to Jiangbei City tomorrow to be in charge of selecting and evaluating reserve personnel from Jiangnan City. When the time comes, please help me keep an eye on things.

"OK."

Ye Bufan nodded in agreement directly. He also wanted to resolve these matters as soon as possible and then focus all his efforts on countering the Shangguan family's retaliation.

He asked, "What's the second thing"

Sima Wei said: "Dear, the second is bad news. You're in real trouble. Tonight, Ge Master of Jiangbei and Donglai, the headmaster of Kongtong Sect, both left their seclusion."

"Oh!" Ye Bufan said. "That's nothing."

Compared to Shangguanjia in Xiangxi, these two people were much less influential. Moreover, Ge Wencong was still his servant.

Sima Wei didn't know these things, she said: "You mustn't underestimate Master Ge. Although he is equally famous as Xia Hou Ao, his strength is still above the other. He can be said to be the true first person in Jiangbei."

Especially this time in seclusion, it is said that he received guidance from a high master, his cultivation has greatly improved, and he has reached the level of a master of magic.

And he has connections with the Four Great Families, particularly close ties with the Shi Family.

You've practically turned Jiangbei upside down, offending the Four Great Families. Ge Wengong definitely won't stand idly by; he will inevitably come after you.

(The End)"Seeing this, many people's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Who is this How could they have such incredible strength and such sharp swordsmanshipAnd just then, a figure shot out from the crac...
