()The moonlight is sultry.

Liu Xia sat quietly in the study, meditating cross-legged.

It was less than an hour before dawn.

However, Liu Xia couldn't calm down today.

If nothing else, Jinghong's fatal blow before his death completely angered Liu Xia.

At the same time, Liu Xia couldn't help but feel surprised. The bewitchment of the Hidden Dragon Holy Cult was indeed terrifying.

Until his death, he paid his life for the Holy Religion.

Such an organization is truly chilling.

"Boy, are you confused?"

Ao Cangqiong asked calmly.

"Um."

"Haha, you originally meant your heart to illuminate the moon, but you have no choice but to let the moon illuminate the ditch?"

"Senior really hit the mark. I knew this Jinghong was hopeless, but I didn't expect her to be so hopeless."

Liu Xia said angrily.

"This is how the world is. As the saying goes, unsatisfactory things happen all the time, but it's the same as what others say. Don't take it to heart and let it go. Besides, after this incident, you haven't grown any more?"

"Thank you, senior, for your comfort. This is not the only thing that makes me angry. The Hidden Dragon Holy Cult has been trying to kill me, but I don't even know who the opponent is. I feel very angry being led by them all the time.

"

"Haha, calm down. If they want to kill you, just live well. How can such an organization with such a huge structure be really watertight?"

When Liu Xia heard this, he was suddenly startled.

The Hidden Dragon Holy Cult is quite powerful in the northwest.

The imperial court, sects, and families all had their hands on it.

It is impossible for so many people and such forces to remain so mysterious forever.

"Bang bang bang bang"

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Liu Xia was confused, who was coming in the middle of the night?

At this moment, Zhao Yong pushed open the door, knelt on the ground and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the general's spies have just reported that the grandmaster who escaped from the grotto entered the Wang Family Fort and disappeared."

"Is it Wangjiabao again?"

Liu Xia's eyes lit up.

"Reporting to the prince, this time it is absolutely true."

Zhao Yong replied decisively.

"Zhao Yong, you have led troops in the northwest for many years. You should be familiar with these forces in the northwest?"

"I don't dare to say that I know everything, but I am indeed closer to these aristocratic families."

"Well, what is the strength of this Wangjiabao?"

Liu Xia asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the Wang family has been operating in the northwest for many years. It has survived two dynasty changes and is very powerful. Although their financial resources are not the top of the northwest sects, they are still among the top three. The manpower is even more complicated. Above

From the imperial court to Longdu, and down to the local state capital, all

There are people recommended by them. Moreover, they have very good relations with some sects in the northwest. More importantly, Wangjiabao itself is a place where masters come out in large numbers. There are more than a hundred masters born from their family.

, there was even a Martial Saint."

"It's really strong!"

Liu Xia nodded thoughtfully.

For a family to be able to give birth to a martial saint, it can be seen that their ancestral skills must also be very domineering.

The worldly clan is different from the sect. Their strength is actually stronger than the sect.

Although they are not as numerous as the sects, they have more masters than the sects.

After all, most disciples have to become teachers after entering the sect to study.

However, half of these people who came out of the army had to be recommended by the family to enter the imperial court, or they simply stayed in the family to serve.

As for the remaining half, they seek a way out in the world.

The aristocratic families are connected to the imperial court and the sects are descended. Some aristocratic families even have a history of thousands of years.

What troubled him even more was that these families were far more united than the sects.

They have long understood each other through marriage and other means. Once their interests are touched, the consequences will be very terrible.

Many powerful hereditary sects eventually became aristocratic clans, and then they may aspire to the Dragon Soul.

And some powerful families, in the end, were reduced to sects or even perished due to poor management.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying this bluntly. The Wang Family Fort cannot be moved easily. I am worried that if the Wang Family Fort is moved, it will inevitably cause chaos in the northwest."

Zhao Yong reminded in a low voice.

"Haha, I know it well. Okay, you go down and rest. I will still go to Wangjiapu early tomorrow morning. If I don't go, they will be emboldened and go, hoping to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger. If they are really hidden dragons

Members of the Holy Cult, I will treat them as if they are barren."

When Zhao Yong heard this, he was suddenly startled, and then he clasped his fists and said: "General, I understand, so I will retire first."

Immediately, Zhao Yong bowed and exited the room.

"Boy, you have to prepare for the worst."

Ao Cangqiong reminded in a low voice.

"Thank you, senior. But I have nothing to fear. If I don't eradicate all the forces of the Hidden Dragon Holy Sect in the northwest, I won't give up."

————————————————————————

At ten o'clock the next morning, Liu Xia got into the car. Just now in the lobby, he briefly talked about his trip to Wangjiapu today.

Now, under the protection of Zhao Yong and others, they are heading towards Wangjia Fort in a mighty manner.

Wangjiapu is more than thirty miles away from Weiyang City.

It is considered the largest market town near Weiyang City.

When Liu Xia's carriage entered Wangjiabao's sphere of influence, he opened the window and looked outside to see an endless field.

"Your Majesty, the Wang family has more than 300 farms and more than 100 businesses in the northwest. Half of the shops in Weiyang City belong to the Wang family..."

Wang Zhoushan and Liu Xia sat in the carriage together and introduced the situation of Wangjiabao in detail.

"More than three hundred places?"

When Liu Xia heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"Well, there are more than three hundred locations, and the size of the farm is dozens of miles in radius."

Liu Xia fell silent immediately.

Liu Xia, who had served as the head teacher of Jian Yunzong before, naturally had more than 300 farms with a radius of dozens of miles, which was a huge number.

Jian Yun Sect has been operating for more than 300 years, but it is just a sect with more than fifty farms, and the largest one is only more than ten miles in radius. Even a first-class sect like Shenjian Villa has farms dozens of miles away

, only six places.

More than three hundred, this is simply an astronomical number.

It is estimated that even the Shangqing Palace in the northwest does not have such strong financial resources.

"Your Majesty, look, that is the Wang Family Fort."

Liu Xia looked up in the direction pointed by Wang Zhoushan. Sure enough, there was a majestic small city on the edge of a huge lake in the distance.

Although that city cannot be compared with Weiyang City, it is much more magnificent than ordinary small county towns.

Outside the small town, there are several connected villages, with streets criss-crossing and chickens and dogs chatting with each other.

This is the world.

When Liu Xia arrived outside Wangjiabao, the sun had already risen high in the sky.

Through the car window, Liu Xia saw the wall of Wangjiabao. Although it was not as tall as Weiyang City, it was definitely stronger than Weiyang City.

Moreover, under the sunlight, the city wall exudes a faint colorful halo.

Apparently, the city wall is also protected by a seal.

Such a powerful seal is quite expensive to build.
