Chapter 202 - Recount (2/2)

At this moment, all the disciples of the Gu Immortal Sect were sitting quietly in their rooms, lying on their beds or sitting cross-legged, breathing in spirit essence and cultivating.

The night was still very long.

At this moment, in another direction of Yan Shen Empire’s capital, this was the location of one of the great clans of the capital, the Zhang clan. At this moment, in a secret room in the courtyard of the Zhang clan, a group of people were seated.

And the person in the lead was none other than the head of the great clan of the Yan Shen Empire’s capital, the Zhang clan, Zhang Huan!

And at this moment, there were four people sitting around a square table.

One of them was wearing a hat inlaid with emeralds and gems. He was the head of the Zhao clan, a wealthy merchant in the capital.

One of them was dressed in a white robe. On his robe, there were some random characters written with a brush. While he looked tattered, he also had a hint of elegance. He was the head of the Qi clan in the capital.

One of them was dressed in black. On the outside of his robe, there were golden patterns. The exact shape could not be seen. He was the head of the Wang clan in the capital.

The last person was dressed in a brown robe. On his head, there was a long round wooden hairpin, and there were many gray-white threads. He was the head of the Mu clan in the capital.

These clans individually would probably have some influence around the Yan Shen Empire. However, in the Yan Shen Empire’s capital, it was clear that they would not be able to cause even a small splash.

At this moment, they could only sit on the side even though they were sitting in the secret room of the Zhang clan, one of the great clans of the capital. It was obvious that they were only allies of the capital’s Zhang clan.

“Fellow clan heads of the four great clans, I called you here tonight for your sakes!”

“Everyone knows that ever since this Yan Shen Empire Gu Dao Convention was held, all parties are not allowed to trade in Gu worms. Everyone is holding their breaths and waiting for this Gu Dao Convention to end.”

“I think you have already accumulated a large amount of related materials, you are all waiting to make a move.”

The clan member of the capital’s Qi clan could not wait to speak. He wanted to say something.

But before he could say a word, Zhang clan head Zhang Heng Ze spoke.

“Don’t interrupt me. Let me finish, then you can express your opinions.”

“Okay, then clan head Zhang Huan, please speak!”

The four clan heads sitting at the side looked at Zhang Huan and said.

“Thank you for calling me Zhang Huan, Zhang clan’s clan head. I will tell you today that during this Gu Dao Convention, I discovered the inheritor of the Wan clan, the capital’s disaster-stricken clan from many years ago!”

“Don’t tell me you are not familiar with the Wan clan?”

As Zhang Huan opened his eyes wide and looked at the four clan heads. They quickly closed their eyes and recalled.

“The Wan clan… This name sounds familiar. They don’t seem to be one of the big clans in the capital, right?”

The clan head of the Zhao clan, who was covered in jewelry, asked as if he was talking to himself.

“Of course not. The Wan clan was a big family in the capital more than ten years ago. A previous accident caused the majority of their family’s assets to be lost. However, everyone should understand that a hundred-legged worm will not die even when cut apart!”

“Thus, although the remaining properties of the Wan clan were originally uninherited, they have always been in the name of someone else. It’s not convenient for us to act.”

“Since they are under someone’s name and it’s not convenient to act, why did you call us here?”

“If even your Zhang clan can’t do anything, then there’s nothing we can do!”
