Chapter 462: Chapter 275: Conspiracy
Day by day, the rebellion started by the Shadow Association in Luoshui City began to spread in all directions across Gongzhou Prefecture. The entire prefecture was thrown into chaos.
However, a much deeper contest lay hidden behind the chaos.
Meanwhile, Wei Qianxing directed the disciples of the Wei Family to travel throughout Gongzhou Prefecture, contacting the Shadow Association’s experts.
His goal was clear: to use the Shadow Association’s power to deal with Fang Yue and remove this obstacle for the Wei Family.
~~~~~~~
The night was as thick as ink, shrouding the manor outside Gongzhou Prefecture City in a mysterious darkness.
Inside the manor, the lights were dim, but one could faintly make out figures moving about, as if discussing some momentous secret.
Just then, Wei Qianxing stealthily arrived at the manor.
His figure, flickering in and out of sight in the darkness, exuded an indescribable sense of majesty and mystery.
His gaze was profound and sharp, as if it could pierce through all illusions and disguises.
He had come this time to secretly liaise with the experts of the Shadow Association and jointly discuss a plan to deal with Fang Yue.
He knew that Fang Yue had become a stumbling block to the Wei Family’s ascent to a higher status. He had to be eliminated as soon as possible.
Wei Qianxing quietly entered the depths of the manor, where the Shadow Association’s experts had already been waiting for a long time.
The atmosphere inside the manor was tense and solemn. Everyone knew in their hearts that this meeting was of great importance.
"Wei, it’s been a while."
A Shadow Association expert clad in blood-red robes was the first to break the silence. His voice was hoarse and low, as if he were deliberately concealing his identity.
Wei Qianxing nodded slightly. His gaze swept over the crowd, finally resting on the man who had spoken. "Gentlemen, I have come today to discuss a joint plan to deal with Fang Yue."
"Heh! You’ve certainly run the numbers in your favor!"
A Shadow Association expert interjected, "Fang Yue may be an enemy of our Shadow Association, but our current goal is to take Gongzhou Prefecture. We don’t have the time to deal with an expert like him!
The atmosphere in the manor suddenly grew tense. Wei Qianxing’s gaze hardened slightly. He hadn’t expected the Shadow Association experts to reject his proposal so directly.
However, he quickly scoffed inwardly. ’Trying to bargain with me at a time like this? What a shortsighted bunch.’
Though Wei Qianxing was sneering internally, his expression remained unchanged. He knew this was not the time to have a falling out with the Shadow Association.
So, he took a deep breath and said slowly, "Gentlemen, I understand your concerns. But please believe me, Fang Yue’s existence is a tremendous threat to both of us.
He is not only obstructing the Wei Family’s development, but he is also threatening the interests of the Shadow Association.
If we can join forces to eliminate him, it would be a great benefit to both the Wei Family and the Shadow Association."
Hearing this, the Shadow Association experts exchanged glances, apparently weighing Wei Qianxing’s words.
They knew Wei Qianxing was right. Fang Yue was indeed a difficult enemy to deal with.
But they were also well aware that if they got involved in this fight, they would have to divide their already limited forces. Given the current situation, this would mean the Shadow Association would have to take on even greater risks.
"Wei, you make it sound so easy."
The blood-robed expert said with a cold laugh, "We are well aware of Fang Yue’s strength. Dealing with him is easier said than done.
Besides, our main objective right now is to take Gongzhou Prefecture. If we delay this important matter because we’re dealing with Fang Yue, would you dare to face the wrath of our Leader!"
Hearing this, Wei Qianxing’s brow furrowed slightly.
Fang Yue’s strength and influence were indeed not to be underestimated. Dealing with him would certainly come at a considerable price.
Furthermore, the Shadow Association’s current main objective was indeed to take Gongzhou Prefecture. It was a grand plan they had been plotting for a long time, and they could not afford any mistakes.
However, Wei Qianxing also knew that if he couldn’t use the Shadow Association’s power to deal with Fang Yue, it would be incredibly difficult for the Wei Family to eliminate this formidable enemy on their own.
He had to find a way to persuade the Shadow Association’s experts to join forces with him against Fang Yue.
"After this is done, my Wei Family is willing to give your association one hundred thousand taels of Gold, as well as enough weapons and armor to equip fifty thousand men."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the manor grew tense once more.
The Shadow Association experts exchanged glances, a flicker of greed and hesitation in their eyes.
They knew that the Wei Family’s power and financial resources in Gongzhou Prefecture were immense. If they could get the Wei Family’s support, their goal of taking the prefecture would undoubtedly become much easier to achieve.
Moreover, one hundred thousand taels of Gold and enough weapons and armor to equip fifty thousand men... this was undoubtedly an immense fortune that the Shadow Association could not refuse.
With these resources, they could better expand their influence, recruit soldiers, and make full preparations for their future grand plans.
The blood-robed expert gave Wei Qianxing a deep look, seeming to weigh the pros and cons.
He knew that the terms Wei Qianxing was offering were extremely tempting, but they also had to consider the risks involved.
After all, once they were drawn into this conflict, they would have to face the powerful enemy that was Fang Yue, and it was highly likely they would attract other unnecessary troubles as well.
The blood-robed expert took a deep breath. He understood that Wei Qianxing’s proposal was no child’s play.
This was not just a simple transaction; it was a major decision that concerned the future direction of the Shadow Association.
"Wei, we have seen your sincerity." The blood-robed expert spoke slowly, his voice tinged with gravity. "But you also know that our Shadow Association has always acted with caution. Fang Yue is no ordinary enemy. To deal with him, we will have to pay a great price."
