"Hehe, conflict? If Chen Feng knows what's good for him and wants to stay alive, he should obediently hand everything of the Mu Family over to our Liu Family. Then maybe I might spare him a way out!"

"But if he refuses to accept his fate and insists on fighting with our Liu Family, then I'll show him the true strength of our Liu Family, the leader of the four great families!"

"By that time, there would be no need for the Ancient Martial Sect to kill him. I'll take his life ahead of time!"

Liu Guozhong sneered coldly, with disdain all over his face as he spoke.

"The Family Head is farsighted; our Liu Family is bound to thoroughly defeat Chen Feng this time!"

Liu Wen quickly bent over, speaking respectfully.

Liu Guozhong smiled, waved his hand, and then said:

"Alright, go make the arrangements. Now that the Mu Family has been destroyed, the companies and remnants of the Mu Family are leaderless. Make contact with them first!"

"Make it clear to them that if they are willing to submit to the Liu Family, they will receive the same treatment as when they were with the Mu Family. If they are unwilling, they'll be considered enemies of our Liu Family forever!"

"Understood, I'll get right on it!"

Liu Wen nodded his head, then quickly turned around and walked out of the villa.

Watching Liu Wen's departing figure.

Liu Guozhong reclined on the sofa, narrowed his eyes, and sneered, "Chen Feng, without the backing of the Ancient Martial Sect, let's see how you compete against our Liu Family! The strength of our Liu Family is not something the likes of the Mu Family could compare to!"

...

Just as Liu Guozhong decided to seize the resources of the Mu Family, the Family Head of the Li Family issued the same command.

Two of the most influential and powerful families in Coastal just took action at the same time.

As for their objective, it was all the same.

That was to seize everything left after the destruction of the Mu Family!

This included people, companies, properties, resources, and territories!

In this way, a bloody storm will inevitably arise in Coastal.

The huge waves caused by the destruction of the Mu Family had not yet subsided before they erupted once more.

And this time, it might be even more sensational than before!

With the two families making moves one after another,

among the three families, only the Tang Family hasn't made any moves, remaining relatively calm.

In the courtyard of Tang Xiaoyun, the old master of the Tang Family.

As usual, the old master was lying on a wicker chair, still leisurely and content.

But his son, the current Family Head of the Tang Family, Tang Tianlong, was standing beside him, already extremely anxious.

"Dad, why aren't you worried at all?"

Tang Tianlong looked at the old master with a face full of confusion and asked.

"Worried? What would I be worried about?"

The old master smiled lightly, with a face of tranquility.

"According to reliable information, the Liu and Li families have figured out Chen Feng's background and have begun to seize the Mu Family's resources. A fight could break out between them and Chen Feng at any moment!"

Tang Tianlong frowned and said.

"What's the rush? Didn't I already make it very clear before? Just go back and notify everyone in the Tang Family to be ready to support Chen Feng anytime, that's all!"

The old master smiled lightly and said.

"But... this time the Liu and Li families are moving together. I think even with our support, Chen Feng, who's all alone, won't hold out for long!"

Tang Tianlong frowned deeper, a face full of worry as he said.

"Oh? Then what do you mean?"

The old master opened his eyes, looked at Tang Tianlong, and calmly asked.

"Father, at first I thought Chen Feng had the backing of Ancient Martial powers, so I believed that if we allied with him, we could resist the Liu and Li families."

"But now it seems that Chen Feng has no background at all, he's just a grassroots individual, and allying with him means it's like we're facing those two families ourselves!"

"So I think we shouldn't get involved in this mess. Instead, we could take advantage of the chaos and seize some of the Mu Family's resources too!"

Tang Tianlong explained his thoughts.

"Nonsense!"

The old master was suddenly enraged upon hearing that.

He stood up from the wicker chair, glaring at Tang Tianlong, and roared, "Tang Tianlong, as a Family Head, how can you be so short-sighted! I'm truly disappointed in you!"

"Father, please don't be angry. I honestly think Chen Feng's chances of winning aren't high!"

Tang Tianlong's expression changed, and he hastily explained in fear.

"Oh? That's your ignorance!"

The old master squinted his eyes slightly and said coldly.

Then, he waved his hand decisively, looked at Tang Tianlong, and continued to speak:

"Enough, it seems like you didn't take in all that I told you last time, and this time, I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. Just strictly follow my orders."

"Since we have decided to stand on Chen Feng's side, we must stick to it. Wavering back and forth, choosing this today and that tomorrow, will lead to no good end! And I believe, Chen Feng will not disappoint the Tang Family!"

"A- Alright, Father, I understand!"

Tang Tianlong could only nod his head.

There was no way around it, although Tang Xiaoyun had stepped down from the position of Family Head.

But in the Tang Family, Tang Xiaoyun's prestige remains unmatched.

Even for him, the Family Head!

So, he still had to listen to Tang Xiaoyun!

Otherwise, with just one word from Tang Xiaoyun, he would no longer be the Family Head.

"Sigh, I really don't know what's so good about that Chen Feng that father supports him so much, sigh, I just hope he doesn't cause the Tang Family to fall into decline!"

Tang Tianlong sighed and mumbled to himself as he walked out of the courtyard.

Watching Tang Tianlong's departing figure, Tang Xiaoyun also shook his head and sighed deeply. Then he looked up at the sky, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly, "It seems the storm is finally coming to Coastal!"

...

The sky had turned dark.

Chen Feng returned alone to the villa at Bixiang Garden and was about to enter a cultivation state.

Just then, his phone rang.

It was a call from Mu Dongcheng.

Seeing this, Chen Feng's mouth curled into a slight smile.

It seemed Liao Huashan had returned and already contacted the remaining members of the Mu Family to have them defect to the Chen Family.

And this call from Mu Dongcheng was probably to share the good news!

With this thought, Chen Feng answered the call immediately.

However, in the next moment, the voice coming through the phone wasn't the joyful tone of Mu Dongcheng.

"Xiaofeng, there's been a change!"

Mu Dongcheng's anxious voice came from the receiver.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng also frowned, puzzled, and asked, "What happened?"

Mu Dongcheng took a deep breath and said with a heavy tone:

"Originally, several companies of the Mu Family had agreed this morning to pledge allegiance to the Chen Family!"

"But just now they all called to retract their decisions!"

"I knew something was fishy, so I hurried to investigate. It turns out that the Liu and Li families had offered them an olive branch, and now they're all planning to ally with the Liu and Li families!"
