1001 The Return of the King (4)
“How do you think we should deal with this?” The leader of the Cao family asked first.
The Great Elder of the Cao Family picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly. He said disapprovingly, “They’re just two immature juniors. There’s no need to mobilize so many people.”
“Could it be that you’re afraid of two juniors?”
The Great Elder of the Cao Family came from the Upper Martial Arts Realm. Even after coming to the Lower Martial Arts Realm for so many years, he still had the arrogance of a person from the Upper Martial Arts Realm in his bones and didn’t think much of people from the Lower Martial Arts Realm.
Besides, they were juniors.
The leader of the Cao family glanced at Great Elder Cao and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. He said without changing his expression, “Even though they’re juniors, don’t forget that one of them is an extremely outstanding alchemist. Great Elder, don’t you know how terrifying the appeal of an outstanding alchemist is?”
They had already offended Alchemist Xu in order to deal with their feud with the new Mu family before. Now, they’d also offended an outstanding alchemist. It was undoubtedly very troublesome.
“Outstanding? How outstanding can she be?”
Great Elder Cao still didn’t care. Apparently, he still didn’t take Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan seriously.
“No matter how outstanding you are, can she compare to the alchemists of the Upper Martial Arts Realm? When did you become so timid? Even two juniors can scare you. Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
After saying that, Great Elder Cao got up and left without waiting for a response from everyone present.
After Great Elder Cao left, the atmosphere in the tea room seemed to become even more oppressive.
The expression of the leader of the Cao family also darkened.
“Master Cao, since Great Elder Cao said so, let’s do as he says.”
“Yeah, after all, Great Elder Cao is from the Upper Martial Arts Realm. He should be confident.”
“That’s right. Before those two disciples of the Silver Moon Sect left, they said that they must suppress the new Mu family. We agreed at that time. Isn’t it bad to go back on our word now?”
“Even though those two Silver Moon Sect disciples have already returned to the Upper Martial Arts Realm, don’t forget that Great Elder Cao’s daughter is the junior sister of those two Silver Moon Sect disciples, and she might return to the Martial Arts World at any time. At that time, it’ll be difficult for us to explain.”
As the four members of the Mu and Gu families spoke, the expression of the leader of the Cao family became more and more ugly.
For so many years, even though he was the leader of the Cao family, he was suppressed by Great Elder Cao everywhere. He was already extremely dissatisfied with Great Elder Cao in his mind.
And now, seeing the members of the Gu and Mu families following Great Elder Cao’s lead, they were extremely furious.
However, because of his identity as Great Elder Cao, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it no matter how angry he was in his mind.
“Master Cao, it’s already started. There’s no turning back. Besides, even if we stop now, the people from the new Mu family might not be willing to let it go just like that. Since things had already come to this, why not continue? Just as Great Elder Cao said, we can’t be afraid of two juniors. If word gets out, what’s going to happen to the pride of our three families?” The leader of the Gu family said righteously, as if he didn’t see the ugly expression of the leader of the Cao family.
The Great Elder of the Gu family also nodded and echoed, “That’s right. Even if that alchemist wants to bribe people with pills, which force in the Lower Martial Arts Realm dares to go against our three families?”
“There are only about a hundred disciples in the so-called new Mu family right now, and they’re all weak. I don’t think they dare to come to our door,” the Second Elder of the Mu family said gloomily.
