293 Four Major Powers (1/2)

Gu Jingman was curious and asked, ”Mo Wen, do you have any enmity with the Dafang Sect?” Mo Wen's motive in heading over to the Dafang Sect was evidently different from hers. Moreover, his aura could be interpreted as hostile towards the Dafang Sect.

”I don't know.” Mo Wen shrugged his shoulders. In reality, he did not have any direct enmity with the Dafang Sect. Although he had killed a senior in the Dafang Sect, they had not had the opportunity to take revenge yet. If the Dafang Sect did not come seeking revenge, he naturally would not have anything to do with them.

Gu Jingman asked, ”Previously, I heard your mom say that you were preparing to compete for the position of sect leader of the Dafang Sect. How are you related to the Dafang Sect?”

Not everyone had the right to compete for the position of sect leader. Just now, the Sect Grand Elder had not denied Mo Wen the right to compete for it. Hence, Mo Wen definitely had to be related to the Dafang Sect in some way.

”I just have the right to compete. Why are you butting in so much?” Mo Wen rolled his eyes at Gu Jingman. Naturally, it was not his place to tell others about Wang Yinru's personal affairs.

Gu Jingman rose angrily. ”Tch, I'm leaving.” Mo Wen had not told her anything at all. Did he even still view her as his older sister?

At night, Wang Yinru finally returned to the little courtyard. Her expression appeared a little solemn.

”What is it?” Mo Wen was stunned and looked at Wang Yinru, who appeared displeased. Could it be that she could not settle what she had wanted to?

Wang Yinru looked extremely unhappy as she said, ”Those other three great families have refused to meet me.” She had tried to visit those three great families. However, she had the door shut on her three times consecutively. She did not understand why those three families wanted to evade her.

The clan leader of the Zhou Clan especially had told her outright that he would not collaborate with her. She did not mind about the other two families. However, the attitude from the Zhou Clan had made Wang Yinru feel shaken and off kilter.

With her current Cultivation, if the Zhou Clan Leader had been willing to collaborate with her, it would not have been as difficult to go against the Jiang Clan. They would not be able to get rid of the Jiang Clan entirely, but they would at least be able to perform checks and balances on the Jiang Clan. However, there was not a single one of those three families who was willing to collaborate with her.

Could it be that those three families had gotten so used to being oppressed by the Jiang Clan all these years that they no longer wished to change the current situation?

”What reasons did they give? Or did they drop any hints?” Mo Wen asked.

Wang Yinru shook her head and said, ”They just kept me outside the door and did not say anything to me.”

”Interesting.” Mo Wen smiled. Perhaps their endeavor with regards to the Dafang Sect would not be as simple as they had initially thought.

”You've also thought about it?”

Wang Yinru sighed. It was very simple logic. Whatever Mo Wen could think of, she had naturally thought of as well. There was evidently a reason why those three great families had treated her with such a cold attitude.

After all, she was an ancient martial art practitioner in the Embryonic Breathing realm. Under normal circumstances, she would be a distinguished guest if she went visiting the clan leaders of those three families. However, it had been the exact opposite.

There could only be two possibilities for such a situation. First, it could be that those three families did not even value an ancient martial art practitioner in the Embryonic Breathing realm. Secondly, it could be that they had been threatened, and hence did not dare to have any kind of contact with her.

Clearly, the first case was not very likely. They still did not have the right to ignore an ancient martial art practitioner in the Embryonic Breathing realm. Thus, it could only be the second possibility, where they did not dare to have any exchanges with her because of some threat.

Within the Dafang Sect, the only entity who had the right to ignore a martial art practitioner in the Embryonic Breathing realm was the Jiang Clan. It had to be that the others were afraid of the Jiang Clan, and thus did not dare to collaborate with her.

Mo Wen smiled and said, ”The fact that the Zhou Clan Leader has turned you down and evaded you makes it clear that he felt that you would not beat the Jiang Clan, even if you collaborated. Hence, he did not even appear.”

The responses of the three great families had revealed a lot of problems. The fear that the Jiang Clan had instilled in the other three great families was rather strong.

”What do we do now?” Wang Yinru asked, a little worried. Things had clearly gone beyond her control.

Previously, she had pinned all her hopes on those three great families being in the same camp with her and uniting to defeat the Jiang Clan. Only then would she have confidence in defeating the Jiang Clan. However, now it had evidently become impossible. It had completely deviated from her expectations. Perhaps those three families would not just reject collaborating with her, they might also even be on the Jiang Clan's side. In that case, things would become even more difficult.
