Chapter 1579: Chapter 1576: Tremors from All Directions (2nd Update)
When the Xia Family’s announcement was released, the entire Wuwang Cliff was immediately plunged into a massive upheaval.
"What? The Zhang Family is doomed, replaced by the Xia Family. How is this possible? This information must be wrong, right?" The Family Head from a certain faction simply couldn’t believe it was true, thinking the messenger must have made a mistake.
"It’s been confirmed, the information is correct, it really is the Zhang Family that has been annihilated, and now it’s the Xia Family that controls the Zhang Family’s territory!" someone beside him replied.
"But how is that possible? Just yesterday, the Xia Family was being suppressed by the Zhang Family to the point of being unable to lift their heads and was on the verge of destruction. How could such an earth-shattering reversal happen overnight?" The Family Head still found it hard to believe.
"Initially, I didn’t believe it either, but after probing, the news is indeed accurate, and the Xia Family could achieve this because they received help from a mysterious master!"
"A mysterious master?"
"Exactly!" The speaker’s expression became extremely serious. "This master is of unknown origin, but possesses incredible power. It was he who single-handedly turned the Zhang Residence into ruins, and the Zhang Family’s cultivators were also wiped out alongside."
"Hiss! This... this..." The Family Head originally wanted to say this was impossible, but suddenly he fell silent.
Because in this dark land, anything could happen.
Moreover, the facts were now laid bare before him, so he had no choice but to believe.
And this was just a microcosm of the various factions.
Overall, when this news spread, everyone was shaken.
Because the Zhang Family was a powerful force, yet they fell so suddenly in one night, which was truly shocking.
Especially with a mysterious peerless master involved.
All these factors combined naturally garner more attention.
So for a time, the streets and alleys of Wuwang Cliff were abuzz discussing this matter. noveldrama
Even those hawkers and peddlers were excitedly debating about who exactly this mysterious master was!
Surprisingly, aside from shock, almost all the lower-level people were thrilled by this event.
Especially those who were under the Zhang Family’s rule shared the news with joy and tears.
Because the former Zhang Family conducted their affairs with extreme tyranny, and their disciples were even more arrogant and indulgent.
Given this, the entire Wuwang Cliff harbored no good feelings towards the Zhang Family.
The sudden doom of the Zhang Family naturally brought enormous joy to the lower-tier civilians who were previously angry but dared not speak out against the Zhang Family’s actions.
But that’s life—when some rejoice, others worry.
Xia Yi was quite unhappy now.
Since being expelled from the Xia Family, he traveled several thousand miles overnight, arriving in another faction’s territory.
This time out, he brought all the treasures he had accumulated, so he was quite wealthy.
Upon arrival, he naturally wouldn’t skimp on himself, first finding a luxurious hotel to stay in, then lying down to sleep.
He slept for a whole day and night, and when he awoke, refreshed, he went downstairs to eat.
As soon as he sat down, before he could pick up his chopsticks, he heard people nearby discussing.
"Hey, have you heard? The once arrogant Zhang Family has been completely wiped out overnight!"
These words made Xia Yi sputter all the wine from his mouth.
Luckily, the tavern was extremely noisy and chaotic, with everyone’s attention captured by the news, so no one noticed him.
Xia Yi perked up his ears to listen.
"I’ve heard too, but it’s hard to believe! After all, they were such a powerful force! How could they perish overnight?"
The first speaker snorted coldly at this.
"Powerful force? Can they be stronger than those with incredible cultivation levels? Let me tell you the truth! The downfall of the Zhang Family was entirely the work of an unknown but immensely powerful master. They say he stomped the Zhang Residence into ruins with a single step!"
At these words, the entire room erupted in gasps of astonishment.
"An immensely powerful master! If that’s the case, then it makes sense!" someone exclaimed with admiration.
"Haha, ultimately though, the Xia Family got a huge advantage! Initially, they were crushed by the Zhang Family, but overnight, they inherited such a vast territory. I bet the Xia Family will soon become one of the top forces in Wuwang Cliff!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The rest of the conversation was unclear to Xia Yi because at this moment, he was trembling uncontrollably, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands clutched tightly, filled with regret and dread.
Regret because if he hadn’t been expelled from the Xia Family, with the Xia Family’s now soaring influence, he could have gained more resources and wealth.
But now, expelled and wandering like a stray dog, all the Xia Family’s power was no longer related to him.
How could he not feel endless regret?
Dread because Xia Yi knew better than anyone who had done this!
It could only be that white-clad young man!
The thought of having confronted such a peerless master made Xia Yi’s scalp tingle with fear.
In this tormented state, Xia Yi sat dazed in the chair, his thoughts in turmoil, unsure what he was thinking.
The served dishes remained untouched.
It’s unclear how much time passed.
Suddenly, Xia Yi was jolted awake by a shout.
"Our boss is here, make way!"
The voice was loud, and Xia Yi frowned, turning his head involuntarily.
He saw two men enter from the tavern’s entrance, one with sharp features and the other with Triangular Eyes.
Their faces were full of arrogance, shouting at passersby, even the shopkeeper of the tavern was scolded by them, forced to stand obediently by the door.
This display left Xia Yi momentarily stunned.
Unlike ordinary people, Xia Yi could tell at a glance these two were cultivators with cultivation levels.
Though their cultivation seemed mediocre, being henchmen meant their master must be significant.
As Xia Yi pondered, he heard a slight cough from outside, then saw a man in splendid attire, exuding a majestic presence, stride inside.
As he entered, a powerful aura immediately spread, silencing the entire tavern.
Witnessing this, Xia Yi shuddered, for in his perception, this middle-aged man’s power was unfathomable.
Such power could only emanate from someone this formidable.
This left him in shock.
