Zheng Tianpeng looked kind and amiable, like a good old man, but he was very good at bewitching people with his words.

Not only was Wang Xuetao fired up with enthusiasm, but even Wang Fei was moved.

"Grandfather, Grandpa Zheng, although what you say is true, we still need to come up with a foolproof plan, preferably one that will completely crush Li Ziqing and that Chen Xiao, leaving them no chance to fight back."

Wang Fei knew how terrifying Chen Xiao was. In his opinion, Guru Gandao was like a god.

Yet Chen Xiao was someone who could make Gandao flee in panic. Although it wasn’t Gandao’s complete form, it was enough to illustrate the problem.

"That's natural!"

After hearing Wang Fei's words, Zheng Tianpeng nodded and said, "Otherwise, what do you think your grandfather called us here for? By the way, have the others not arrived yet?"

Wang Xuetao had not only called Zheng Tianpeng. He had also notified the other three families of the five great families.

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives. Just as he finished speaking, two more old men walked in from outside.

One of the old men was thin and frail, like a flickering candle in the wind.

The other was burly and thickset, with a ramrod-straight back. He walked with swift and decisive steps, and the contours of his face were like carvings, with ravines running across it, but the lines were distinct.

"Grandpa Zhao, Grandpa Song!"

Wang Fei respectfully greeted the two men.

These two were Song Kaijiang and Zhao Yuanjie.

The old man who was as thin as a flickering candle in the wind was Zhao Yuanjie.

The other, with the ramrod-straight back, was Song Anran's grandfather, Song Kaijiang!

The two old men looked at Wang Fei with suspicion, wondering who this kid was and why he was being so polite to them.

Their attitude towards Wang Fei was even more distant than Zheng Tianpeng's, after all, Zheng Tianpeng had previously met Wang Fei under the alias 'Tang Fei.'

But these two had never met him.

"Old Zhao, Old Song, this is Xiao Fei."

Zheng Tianpeng helped introduce him.

"Xiao Fei... I see, I see!"

The two old men instantly understood the reason and nodded repeatedly.

"Old Zhao, Old Song, since you two old fellows have arrived, now only Old Li is left. Let's all wait a moment longer. Old Li should be here soon."

Everyone took their seats and continued the previous topic.

"This boy is truly hateful, completely disregarding our five great families."

Zhao Yuanjie looked indignant.

He had already received the news of Zhao Hongming's death, and he was naturally filled with grief. In addition, Chen Xiao had previously killed Zhao Hongyuan, so this feud could be said to be irreconcilable.

"I have spoken to the chief several times, but I don't know what kind of bewildering tonic that kid gave the chief, but the chief's attitude towards this matter is actually reluctant to get involved!"

The Zhao family's power was mainly in the political sphere, leaning towards a kind of soft power.

They were not good at capturing territory and seizing strongholds, which was why they had not sought Chen Xiao for revenge before.

Now it was different. Chen Xiao had come to the Imperial City, and the five great families had joined forces once again, determined to let that kid die without a burial place!

"The chief won't get involved? Old Song, what's the situation on your side?"

Wang Xuetao looked at Song Kaijiang and asked.

Song Kaijiang sighed deeply and slapped his thigh, "To think that I, Song Kaijiang, have spent my whole life in the military, alas..."

"Alright, Old Song, you don't need to say anymore, I already understand!"

Wang Xuetao quickly waved his hand to interrupt Song Kaijiang's reminiscences. Once this old fellow started recalling his military career, he would never stop.

Now was not the time to listen to him reminisce about the past.

Zheng Tianpeng said with a smile, "In that case, it seems that the official forces can no longer create any obstacles for that kid."

The reason he was smiling was not because he was happy, but because his expression was always like this.

"I heard that the chief went to the Northern Territory some time ago, and the kid surnamed Chen was also there... There may have been some consensus reached between him and the chief."

Song Kaijiang said with a helpless expression.

In fact, his feelings towards Chen Xiao were the most complicated. His most beloved grandson had died at Chen Xiao's hands, so he naturally hated Chen Xiao to the bone.

But then again, the reason why Song Anbang was killed was because he had embarked on an evil path.

A fire could not be contained in paper, and the matter would be exposed sooner or later. Even if Chen Xiao didn't kill him, others would kill him.

On the other hand, Song Kaijiang's most promising granddaughter, Song Anran, was said to have a rather ambiguous relationship with Chen Xiao...

"It's a pity that this kid is so insensible. If he were a little more sensible, why would things have come to this?"

Song Kaijiang sighed in his heart.

The five great families were of the same breath and shared the same branches.

The Song family's position among the five great families was inherently weak, so his attitude towards Chen Xiao was not important at all. What was important was the attitude of the five great families as a whole towards Chen Xiao.

And now their attitude was one of irreconcilable hatred!

The Song and Zhao families were basically unable to exert any strength in dealing with Chen Xiao.

Wang Fei was not surprised by this, because he understood that when a person's strength reached a certain level, unless he violated the interests of the country, the country would never attack such a person, but would focus on attracting him.

Therefore, Wang Fei had never counted on these two families. What he counted on the most was actually the Li family.

Because behind the Li family was the Imperial City Embroidered Uniform Guard, which was a group of martial artists with extraordinary strength. The Li family could invite them to help.

The only uncertainty now was what level of martial artists the Li family could invite to help.

And this was the key to the matter.

Wang Fei looked left and right, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the head of the Li family, Li Tianxiang, but the old fellow was nowhere to be seen.

"Old Wang, with the situation so critical, can't you ask the people from the Batian Sect to help?"

Zhao Yuanjie asked tentatively.

"The Batian Sect can't be counted on."

Wang Xuetao shook his head with a wry smile, "Today, Guru Gandao's primordial spirit left his body and fought with the kid surnamed Chen, and the result..."

The result was self-evident, and Zhao Yuanjie didn't need to ask anymore.

"I didn't expect that the kid surnamed Chen would be so powerful, that even Guru Gandao couldn't do anything to him."

Song Kaijiang shook his head and sighed. He had once witnessed Guru Gandao's abilities, and they were truly divine!

But even such a person couldn't subdue Chen Xiao, so how strong must Chen Xiao be?

Song Kaijiang's evaluation of Chen Xiao changed again. This kid was indeed crazy enough, but he did have the capital to be crazy.

Wang Fei explained, "Today, what Chen Xiao defeated was only Guru Gandao's primordial spirit. If Guru Gandao's true form had arrived today, that kid would already be a corpse."

"I see, I see, that makes sense."

Zhao Yuanjie said pretentiously.

In fact, he didn't understand anything about primordial spirits or true forms. He was just habitually flattering him.

"It seems that in the end, we still have to rely on Old Li!"

Song Kaijiang glanced at the time, "What time is it already? Why hasn't Old Li come yet? That old fellow isn't afraid, is he!"
