Shentu Residence, Guangdong Province.

 Shentu Changgong pushed open the door of the study. Behind him followed Shentu Junyan, the eldest grandson. Shentu Changgong turned on the computer on his desk, opened some software, and entered a string of passwords.

 The bookshelf behind him moved slowly. The whole wall was exposed. There was a door on the wall. He took out the key from the drawer of the desk and opened the door.

 Shentu Junyan followed his grandfather and entered the secret room. In the middle of the secret room was a round table with seven chairs.

 “So this is where the heads of the seven families discuss secrets,” Shentu Junyan murmured. As he was unofficially the next family head, Shentu Junyan had long known about the secret alliance of the seven great families and the secret chamber of Grandpa, but he had never stepped into here before.

 Shentu Junyan had high IQ, EQ, good character, strong talent and was far better than his peers.

 He knew what it meant for Grandpa to bring him here today. Grandpa had confirmed his position as the new family head, which was equivalent to being the crown prince. As long as he didn’t do anything that would destroy his own reputation, becoming the next leader was pretty much set in stone.

 Grandpa wanted to retire for a long time. However, the following generation was not good enough, and only his grandchildren showed more promise. He would probably abdicate soon, if not reach the end of his life, so there would be no immediate worry for Shentu Junyan.

 As for Grandpa’s harem, Shentu Changgong was not a lustful person, so he did not have any recent marriages. Shentu Junyan’s grandmothers were all old.

 Shentu Changgong turned on the projector on the table. Six bright blue beams were projected on the chairs. The heads of the remaining six of the seven Great Families appeared in the projection.

 “Old Shentu, we were all waiting for you,” Shen Meng, the head of the Shen family, said with a smile.

 Apart from Shentu Changgong, the six heads of the family were all in their prime. The previous generation of heads, who were of the same generation of Shentu Changgong had already retired behind the scenes.

 Shentu Changgong acknowledged him and said, “Well, let’s skip the formalities. Since I am the eldest here, let me start. Everyone has watched the video on the Internet. Who has heard of the Great Demons’ Alliance before?”

 Due to the sudden rise of the mysterious forces, the seven families had to be vigilant. The cake was only so big. If all the small fries wanted some cheese, they wouldn’t mind. But if someone wanted a huge slice, the seven families would have to jump in disagreement.

 After the exposure to the existence of the Great Demons’ Alliance, the seven families immediately contacted each other, and then had a secret meeting. The heads of the families shook their heads.

 “They formed a large force so silently even Baoze did not notice, and neither did we and the Taoist Buddhist Association.” Shentu Changgong frowned deeply.”This is the most worrying thing. Do any of you have any clues to this?”

 The Xu family head, whose residence was in Central China near the site of the battle, pondered for a moment and said, “Our people found the scene of the battle between Baoze and the Great Demons’ Alliance. I’ll ask the assistant to send the pictures to you in groups. Please receive them in your mailbox.”

 Shentu Junyan immediately returned to the study room and took his grandpa’s notebook computer.

 Shentu Changgong logged in to the mailbox and clicked to open the newly received email. Upon seeing the image, they were surprised.

 The picture was a high-definition aerial photo of an unmanned aerial vehicle. It could be seen that the location was originally a valley, but was turned into scorched earth. There were solidified ripples everywhere on the dark ground, indicative of solidified magma. The mountains on all sides of the valley also turned into scorched earth, and the top of one of them was cleanly shaved off.

 The Xu family leader was very satisfied with the shocked expression of the crowd, which was his exact reaction when he first saw the image. He continued, “Even top-tiered S-Levels won’t have such power. From this we could tell that Baoze’s certain person has also appeared. Even if he hadn’t stepped into Gokudo Path, he is not far away. Everyone, this is not a good omen.”

 “The most terrible thing is that Qin Ze’s power is not related to fire, so who is he fighting with?” Chen said.”Is it another Half-Step Gokudo Path?”

 The heads of the families were silent and solemn. It was unthinkable that a new expert appeared in the demon descendant community but the seven great families had no clue who it was, this indicated that their grasp on the demon descendant community was weakening.

 Before the establishment of the Baoze group, the seven Great Families and the Buddhist Taoist association could be said to rule the demon descendant community equally. The Taoist and Buddhist Association were the nominal law enforcer, but those monks were not qualified law enforcers as people could talk their way out too easily, and they were not experts at management either. The seven Great Families then took over in those situations. Although sometimes their people stepped out of bounds and committed crimes, they were typically punished internally by the family, and all was well.

 The Taoist and Buddhist Association were mainly in charge of scattered demon descendants not belonging to any factions and the foreign species, this also caused many evil societies to be established in the 70s through the 90s.

 Since the establishment of Baoze, there had been a Sword of Damocles hanging on the top of all demon descendants. The main difference was for the great families as someone else was above them in law and order, for the scattered demon descendants, the blade hanging above was merely changed from Taoist Buddhist Association to Baoze group.

 With the development of society, it was the general trend that the order is more consolidated, and the great families cannot resist this trend.

 “There’s another thing, maybe it’s related to the Great Demons’ Alliance,” said the Xu family leader.

 The heads of the families returned to their senses and made a gesture that they were listening.

 “In Central China, the crime rate soared in the second half of this year. When our family dealt with the demon descendants of these crimes, we found that there were many more newly awakened blood descendants this year than last year. And the headquarters of the Great Demon Alliance is in Central China,” Xu said.

 After hearing this, all the heads of the family fell silent and went deep into thought.

 “Gentlemen, don’t you have any ideas?” the Xu family head asked.

 “What do you think?” Shentu said with a smile.

 This old fox… The Xu family’s head scolded in his heart and shook his head with a smile.

 The Zhao family head said, “I have a piece of information to add here. According to the informant’s information, Li Peiyun was not locked in the Demon Locking Tower at all. Our family checked the flight records of Ping County after the Conference. There was no plane to Shanghai that night.”

 “It’s obvious that Baoze had known the existence of the Great Demons’ Alliance for a long time. They were fishing, but it seems that the fish had escaped. So that’s what happened in today’s video.”

 It was a very accurate analysis. Indeed, to become the head of a family, they are all very smart.

 “What do you think we should do about the Great Demons’ Alliance?” the Head of the Wu family said tentatively.

 What he said was very polite. He tried to ask everyone’s opinions. As the new head of the Wu family, he was inferior to all the heads in terms of seniority and family power. Since the turmoil in Northeastern China, the Wu family had been greatly hurt by that traitor Wu Sanjin. The elites of the Wu family had rushed back to their hometown, stabilizing the family that is about to collapse without a leader. In the outside world, two-thirds of their external territory was swallowed by Baoze, and another one-third was divided by the major families.

 The Wu family has fallen from top-class family power to merely first-class.

 Shen Meng said, “I suggest that we contact the Great Demons alliance secretly and try to draw them into the camp.”

 Shentu Changgong said, “First of all, if the Great Demons’ Alliance is really a cult, then we have to cooperate with Baoze and the Taoist and Buddhist Associations to eliminate them. We should pay attention to any new forces in our territories.”

 His proposal was accepted by all.

 “Do you have anything else to add?” Shentu Changgong asked.

 “I don’t have anything to add, but I don’t know if I should say something,” the Chen family head pondered for a moment and said softly.

 “Just say it.” Shentu Changgong nodded.

 “It’s about the descendants of the Li family,” said the Chen family leader with a smile. “He said at the conference that he didn’t mind copulating with the women of our family. Whoever gave birth to a boy, the Unparalleled War Spirit would belong to that family.”

 As soon as the words came out, everyone’s face suddenly became strange. Shen Meng sneered and said, “Do you believe his nonsense?”

 The head of the Chen family said with a smile, “It was important because the Unparalleled War Spirit did not deny it. It does not matter if Li Xianyu was speaking nonsense. If he wants women, I will just give him some. If he really gave birth to a kid, I don’t believe that he will hurt his own child. The decision to clear the bloodline of Li’s family was also the idea of the Unparalleled War Spirit. The third generation Li heir didn’t agree to that either.”

 “That’s because the third generation is dead.”

 “So the fourth generation of the Li heir could swing the butcher’s knife without any concern. If the third generation was alive, would he dare? Li Xianyu is not like that third generation, who was short-lived. As long as he is alive, the Unparalleled War Spirit will not turn against him.”

 When it came to that shit-stirring stick, the family heads all had headaches.

 “As far as his reputation is concerned, how could any of our innocent ladies be interested in him? Their faces turn white when they hear the name Li Xianyu. But…” One of the family heads sighed.

 “But the slightly older women in the family showed a strong curiosity about him, didn’t they?” The Chen family head quietly interjected, “Don’t try to deny it because the situation in my family is the same.”

 The heads of all the families were silent. What a shit-stirrer.

 The head of the Chen family sighed. “I just want to talk to you about this today. I am worried that some repressed women in our family would try anything funny in the name of self-sacrifice for the family. We would be embarrassed regardless.”

 Li Xianyu’s left hand represented shame and dread to the inexperienced lady. However, for some women who have experienced countless unsatisfied night battles, they might be fatally seduced.

 All the heads of the family turned pale. They didn’t expect this. Once this happened, Li Xianyu the shit-stirrer would surely announce that to the world. Where will the faces of the major families be?

 “Is this proposal to revenge us?” The head of the Zhao family’s face twisted.

 However, one thing that the Chen family head said was right. If the third generation Li heir was still alive, would he really agree to the “cleansing” of his sons and daughters?

 Li Xianyu would never agree. No one but the insane would massacre his own offsprings. Besides, Li Xianyu had unlimited potential. He was not like the nerd of the third generation. He had a great say in the issue of extending his bloodline.

 Although we might lose face, what if someone really gave birth to a son? Who doesn’t want the Unparalleled War Spirit?

 Shen Meng and the Wang family head looked at each other, and they signaled covertly to each other and smiled without saying anything. Unparalleled War Spirit? Hehe!

 Finally, Shentu Changgong summed up the meeting. “Let’s not talk about that for the moment, let nature take its course. Let’s get in touch with Great Demon’s Alliance first, but don’t rush to form an alliance. If it was another Ancient Gods Clan, it’s a serious problem. No one likes a cult.”

 “Well, the meeting is over!”

 The bright blue projections went out.

 Shentu Changgong sat in the empty secret room and pondered for a long time, before asking, “Junyan, what do you think?”

 “I…” Shentu Junyan thought for a moment. “I don’t have any feelings, but I have a question. When it comes to the surge in the number of demon descendants in Central China, several family owners, including Grandpa, have avoided their views on this issue.”

 Shentu Changgong was very relieved. “Hahaha, Junyan, you are really much better than your parents.”
