Soon, the Orthodox Alliance issued a martial world wanted notice, seeking the thirteen protectors of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
They also made public the related matters of the Heavenly Demon Sect. The martial sects that were originally dissatisfied with the Orthodox Alliance then learned that it was those from the crooked path who were behind the scenes!
The chaotic situation in the martial world gradually returned to control!
This is how reality is. Unknown fear brings the greatest pressure. Originally, these martial sects did not know who the attackers were, which was why they were so scared. But now that they knew the truth, they calmed down and even prepared to unite against the enemy and declare war on the crooked path!
...
In the past few days, Situ Liuguang of the Situ family has experienced all sorts of human conditions and the fickleness of human relationships.
He instructed the family's honored guest, Situ Lansheng, to secretly capture Wang Bingxia and use her as a cauldron. As a result, they encountered a tough opponent. Situ Lansheng and ten of the family's experts all died at Wang Family Village.
The Situ family had not suffered such losses in many years, and their actions were also exposed to the Orthodox Alliance. Such behavior was simply the conduct of the crooked path.
The families that had received favors from Er Gou also pressured the Situ family, putting them in a very passive position. Helpless, the Situ family had to stop all actions against the Wang family and confine Situ Liuguang to his residence.
This also meant that Situ Liuguang was at a significant disadvantage in the competition for the position of family head. Many wavering factions within the family shifted their support to Situ Leisheng.
Even Situ Liuguang himself felt that the position of family head was slipping further away from him. Unexpectedly, fate played a cruel trick, and the news of Situ Leisheng's death arrived.
The entire Situ family was thrown into chaos. It was known that Situ Leisheng was a leading figure among the younger generation and a strong contender for the next family head. The death of such a person was undoubtedly an act of declaration of war against the Situ family.
Of course, Situ Liuguang was also subjected to a severe investigation and interrogation by the family. After all, with Situ Leisheng's death, he was the biggest beneficiary, making him highly suspicious.
However, he had been staying at the headquarters of the Situ family during this period, under strict surveillance, and was soon cleared of suspicion.
It was not until a few days later that news came from the Orthodox Alliance, and the Situ family learned that this was the work of the crooked path, or more precisely, the Heavenly Demon Sect!
As a result, Situ Liuguang's confinement was lifted, and all his treatment within the family was restored. Those who were originally his supporters also began to pledge their loyalty to him.
Situ Liuguang happily accepted their allegiance. This was not due to his magnanimity, but because he knew that he needed their support to ascend to the position of family head.
However, he had already made a mental note of it. Once he became the family head, he would have plenty of time to make things difficult for them and deal with them slowly.
Having regained his power within the family, Situ Liuguang's gaze once again fell upon Wang Bingxia.
On one hand, his Black Flame Art cultivation had reached a critical juncture, and he needed a cauldron.
On the other hand, the Orthodox Alliance was currently in a state of disarray and could not spare any attention for the Situ family. Even those families that had pressured the Situ family were hesitant to offend them to the extreme.
Situ Ye, the patriarch of the Situ family, also knew how important this cauldron was to Situ Liuguang. Once Situ Liuguang mastered the Black Flame Art, his future achievements would be immeasurable. Therefore, he feigned ignorance of Situ Liuguang's minor actions.
Situ Ye secretly admonished Situ Liuguang that taking action against the Wang family was not impossible, but he needed to be strategic and consider the impact. Even if he had to resort to certain methods, he should not leave any evidence.
Situ Liuguang outwardly accepted this, but in reality, he paid no heed to his elder's advice.
Thus, the Wang family, which had just caught its breath, and the Bing Tian Pharmaceutical Industry, which had enjoyed a few days of peace, were once again targeted.
Especially Bing Tian Pharmaceutical Industry, their new drug launch plan and approval were once again severely impacted. The more serious problem was the supply of some traditional Chinese medicinal materials.
Although Bing Tian Pharmaceutical Industry had been making full efforts to acquire companies that produced traditional Chinese medicinal materials and large quantities of raw materials during this period, the fundamental problem remained unresolved. At this rate, within three months, Bing Tian Pharmaceutical Industry would find it difficult to maintain its production, and their output might even be halved.
It was known that Bing Tian Pharmaceutical Industry's cosmetics and the Bing Tian Xiao Ke Wan product had orders extending two years into the future. If they could not deliver on time, they would face enormous compensation.
However, Old Master Wang Chunfeng and Bing Tian Pharmaceutical Industry had no intention of compromising. They had endured more difficult times; what was this setback?
In the eyes of Old Master Wang, no family fortune or industry was more important than his granddaughter, Wang Bingxia.
Situ Liuguang even intended to repeat his previous tactic and send people to capture Wang Bingxia. Although Wang Bingxia had protection, the Situ family did not see this as a problem. As long as they dispatched enough strong personnel, they were confident of success.
However, the current problem was that they had no idea where Wang Bingxia had gone. The Little Immortal Island was a very secretive place, and even few people in the Misty Rain Pavilion knew of its location.
...
Jiangshan City, Wang Family Village, late at night, a man broke into the Wang family mansion. This man appeared to be only in his early twenties. If one were to describe this man with a single word, it would be handsome, extremely handsome, drop-dead gorgeous.
His features were chiseled, and he stood at nearly 1.9 meters tall. His eyes, in particular, possessed a gaze that could enchant all female creatures.
This man's name was Shen Qingzhe, and his identity was also extraordinary. He was the new sect leader of the Joyous Union Sect, one of the crooked path factions.
Furthermore, this person was also one of the newly appointed thirteen protectors of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Originally, the Joyous Union Sect had been in decline. However, with the revival of spiritual energy and the Heavenly Demon Sect providing them with more powerful cultivation techniques for absorbing essence, the Joyous Union Sect's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Especially in ancient times, they were known as flower-picking perverts, and their exploits involved great risk. But now, with the extremely open social atmosphere, as long as one had money or was handsome, women would not be lacking.
It was just that ordinary women were no longer of much use to Shen Qingzhe. He now needed to find women with special constitutions, like Wang Bingxia, who possessed the Profound Yin body.
This intelligence was also obtained from within the Orthodox Alliance. After all, it was no secret that Situ Liuguang coveted Wang Bingxia within the Orthodox Alliance. If he were merely lusting after a woman's beauty, there would be no need for the Situ family to go to such great lengths!
The guards of the Wang family were no match for him. They were easily subdued, and then, using some methods similar to enchantment, he quickly made the Wang family servants confess.
