Chapter 45 Swallow Town (3)
Inside the Wei family’s mansion.
Although the Cao family's three realms of wild cultivators were drinking and eating, their eyes were always on the table of Wei Jie and Cao Tianbao.
At any time, let them face a great monk in the fourth realm alone, let alone drinking quietly, they may tremble even if they speak, not to mention Wei Jie is also the title of the most powerful man in Yanzi Town.
But as the saying goes, drinking makes cowards brave, and many people are powerful. There are so many practitioners who have even reached the peak of the three realms and even reached the peak and encourage each other. If even an elderly practitioner of the four realms is afraid, it will be difficult for them to go long-term on the road of cultivation.
If they are in the four realms, one is over 70 years old and the other is in their prime, they will certainly be more afraid of the latter and thus ignore the former.
To give an example, when facing the powerful power of the fourth realm who is in his prime, the latter must be stronger. No matter how old they are, the five realms cannot be crossed. However, when both sides are in the same realm, it is a different matter. Naturally, younger people are stronger.
Although none of them entered the fourth realm and were comparable to Wei Jie, they were able to win because there were many very close to the fourth realm. In addition, Wei Jie was no longer young, and even if he was a little afraid in his heart, he would not be as brave as he could not speak at all, and he even had the confidence to try it out.
Especially when they saw Cao Tianbao provoking many times but Wei Jie was silent, their confidence became more sufficient.
Wei Ni appeared in the reception courtyard in disarray. For various reasons, Wei Xiang did not notify his son of the invitation to the banquet. He asked him to have supper early and went back to bed. Of course, it was even more impossible for Wei Ni to accompany him.
After all, what happened tonight is quite a bit. Wei Ni was just lazy, which does not mean that he was an idiot. But if Wei Ni was provoked by the Cao family, he would definitely overturn the table and would never swallow his anger. Wei Xiang was also worried that other changes would occur.
Seeing Wei Ni so unceremonious in front of outsiders and as if he was crazy, Wei Xiang was furious, which was undoubtedly a shame for him. He would even find excuses for the Cao family to sarcastically. Wei Xiang could not be sure whether he could still resist his anger by then.
So before Cao Cheng and Cao Tianbao reacted, Wei Xiang angrily scolded: "It's so silence that he is so polite, why don't you go back!"
Wei Ni was stunned for a moment. Seeing many people from the Cao family in the yard, he also noticed something was wrong. He wanted to ask Wei Jie about it, but he could only swallow it back into his stomach, tidy up his clothes, but did not leave.
Cao Cheng seized the opportunity and said with a smile: "The son of Brother Wei's family is indeed unruly. I believe that in the future, he will lead the Wei family to flourish."
Wei Xiang heard the sarcasm in Cao Cheng's words and bowed calmly: "Compared with Brother Cao's son, the dog is really not a good person, but things are unpredictable. If the noble young men are accidentally killed, the Cao family will also cut off the incense. He may not say that Brother Cao has the foresight and will have a few more."
In order not to disrupt the layout, Wei Xiang had been enduring it, but at this moment he couldn't help but speak out a few sarcastic words. Moreover, his words were extremely vicious, so he cursed Cao Cheng to cut off his son and grandson.
Wei Xiang was temporarily tolerant because he was hiding his worries, while Wei Jie did not take the Cao family seriously at all.
But Cao Cheng and Cao Tianbao could not tolerate such insults. They came to the Wei family with preparations for a war between the two tribes, and continued to provoke them just to find out the purpose of the Wei family sending invitations to their Cao family. As for whom they took the initiative to provoke the war first, it was not that important.
Cao Cheng immediately said with a cold face: "Brother Wei specially sent an invitation, is he going to cause trouble on purpose?"
The wild cultivators from the Cao family outside also showed murderous intentions and were eyeing them. Wei Xiang was a little panicked for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "You and I are just having a business confrontation, and we will never be able to live or die. I kindly invite Brother Cao to drink and talk to you tonight, but Brother Cao didn't give him any face and humiliated him many times. Could it be that he really thought that my Wei family was afraid of you?"
Cao Cheng thought it was ridiculous. The so-called business confrontation was just an excuse. None of them wanted to truly rule Yanzi Town, and suppressing business was just an open means. In secret, the two families did not know how many blood-stained things they had done, and they were already a life-and-death situation. How could they easily turn wars into jade?
Listening to Wei Xiang's hypocritical words, Cao Cheng felt that the purpose of this banquet tonight was even more impure. Fortunately, he had prepared for it. If he really had idiotically believed in his enemy, the Cao family would have long been destroyed many times.
"You have to abide by the rules in your business, and you should have your own bottom line. I am too lazy to continue with you. If this banquet is really a drink and talk between friends, do you believe it yourself, Brother Wei?"
Wei Xiang's face was gloomy.
Cao Cheng sneered.
At this moment, Wei Jie, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "The rules of Yanzi Town should be unified. I think that my Wei family has such ability. If the Cao family is willing to bow down and submit, my Wei family will treat you with courtesy and will never treat you badly. But if your Cao family does not know how to be polite, then you will disappear from Yanzi Town."
Cao Tianbao slapped the table suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Old Wei, I respect your profound cultivation. I am a senior, but don't think that no one in Yanzi Town can cure you."
"Although you have been in the fourth realm for many years, you are only staying in the lower realm. So many of us cultivators from the third realm rushed forward and fought to the death. Even if we can't kill you, it will be enough to destroy the Wei family. If you surrender to my Cao family, I can give you the highest treatment on behalf of the head of the family. I wonder what Mr. Wei wants to do?"
Wei Jie said calmly: "I think you should be curious about the reason why you were invited to appear here tonight. The Cao family and the Wei family have been hostile for so long and know each other well. So there is no need to say those hypocritical words that are not nutritious. I can tell you very seriously that Yanzi Town has ushered in the biggest disaster."
"Yanzi Town is just a small place, but it is as prosperous as a big city. So far, Yanzi Town has welcomed many practitioners, but most of them are wild cultivators. It is rare to see mountain monks. I, Wei Jie, are the only four-level monks in Yanzi Town. "
"But recently, the second fourth-level powerhouse appeared in Yanzi Town, and the purpose is not simple. None of my Wei family and your Cao family can fight against that person. Only when we join forces can we avoid this disaster. How our two families divide the area afterwards is only our Yanzi Town. Don't be reaped by outsiders for this."
Cao Cheng and Cao Tianbao looked at each other.
They felt that Wei Jie was a little alarmist and made up stories to deceive them. Yanzi Town has never been taken seriously by any major forces. How could a great monk from the Fourth Realm emerge inexplicably at such a critical moment when the Cao family was about to attack the Wei family in an all-round way?
I'm afraid that Wei Jie knew he was not a match for the Cao family, so he said this on purpose on purpose.
Cao Tianbao sneered: "No matter whether the great monks of the fourth realm really appeared in Yanzi Town, what does that have to do with my Cao family? I would not think that your Wei family is so wise and will not take the lead in cooperating with my Cao family for the sake of the entire Yanzi Town."
Cao Cheng also said: "The strong people who are willing to let Mr. Wei take the initiative to ask for cooperation to deal with are probably those real cultivators in the four realms, such high-ranking figures, even if they are not the leader of the sect, they are also those teaching figures in the mountain gate of cultivation, with a transcendent status. If we pass by Yanzi Town, our Cao family should be treated with the highest standards, so how could we go against him? Mr. Wei's idea really makes me unable to understand."
Wei Jie was silent for a moment and said, "The terrain of Yanzi Town is high, and it is filled with more spiritual energy than ordinary places. For those powerful practice gates in the world, they will naturally not see them, but the practice gates are also divided into levels."
"And some powerful wild cultivators will also choose better places to practice. Yanzi Town has never been discovered. It can only be said that they are lucky. Now that the great monks from the fourth realm come to Yanzi Town, they will definitely seize the best position. The Wei family and your Cao family occupy the most spiritual energy in the world, which must be the primary goal."
Wei Jie was not talking big. The terrain of Yanzi Town is indeed mysterious, but it is not a place to be fought for by the practice mountain gate. The so-called explanation that it is difficult to convince the public without being discovered. However, compared with those weak wild cultivators, Yanzi Town is indeed a good place for practice.
This is why there are so many wild cultivators in Yanzi Town, and they are attracted by the Cao family and Wei family and become disciples. Because the Cao family has a better location and a wealthy and powerful family, they can attract more wild cultivators and suppress the Wei family.
As a cultivator at the peak of the third realm, Cao Tianbao could naturally notice that the spiritual energy of Yanzi Town is full of heaven and earth, but under the limitation of his cultivation, he could not explore the deeper mystery. He simply believed that Yanzi Town could easily attract lower-powered cultivators.
After all, every cultivation gate is chosen in a good location, which is definitely much more abundant than the spiritual energy of the world in Yanzi Town. There is no need to leave the near and the far, and the big and the small.
But Wei Jie is the only strong man in Yanzi Town who has entered the fourth realm, so his vision is naturally higher. Cao Tianbao has to consider whether Yanzi Town is really more attractive and is enough to be fought over by the great monks of the fourth realm.
This kind of thing would rather believe in it than not, Cao Tianbao hesitated for a moment.
Wei Jie wanted to use the Cao family and Gu Shiyan at the same time, so he naturally had to prepare some remarks. He also believed that the Cao family could not refuse.
Cao Cheng is a pure businessman, not a practitioner. He cannot understand any abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, if he loses those wild cultivators who are disciples, the power of the Cao family will definitely be greatly reduced.
He has come into contact with many practitioners, and naturally he knows more about the world of practice than ordinary people. Even if he is afraid of the four-level powerful man who does not know whether he exists or not, he will definitely not want to take over what belongs to him.
He just couldn't completely believe what Wei Jie said, and looked at Cao Tianbao and fell into silence.
Wei Jie looked at them calmly. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a noisy sound outside the mansion. As the messy footsteps gradually approached, a girl holding a white oil paper umbrella and a boy in black walked over the front yard and came to the place where guests were hosted by the back yard.
Wei Jie's eyes froze, and then he replied calmly, thinking that it was really time to come.
The emergencies made everyone in the Cao family stunned for a moment. They subconsciously thought that the Wei family was going to take action, and they all stiffened nervously and put their hands on the hilt of the sword.
What the Cao family did not notice was that when they were nervously preparing for the war, Wei Xiang was also nervous and wiped the cold sweat from his head silently. Only Wei Ni looked full of joy when he saw the obsessed figure.
The guards belonging to the Wei family surrounded the man and woman who suddenly visited, gradually approaching.
Several young guards who had followed Wei Ni at Chunfeng Inn looked at the pair of men and women nervously, sweating in their palms holding swords. As the girl holding umbrellas and the boy in black were approaching, they subconsciously retreated.
