Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Hua Youwei’s Stratagem

Xiao Zheng’s remarks caused an uproar in the Jianghu, and no one expected that Xiao Zheng would be so dismissive of the public opinion within the martial arts community.

Immediately, experts from various sects, heroes from across the Jianghu, and those attempting to make a name for themselves, all fiercely condemned Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng’s reputation, in a very short span of time, plummeted within the martial arts realm, almost to the level of those notorious villains.

However, everyone was talking, but not a single person took action, resorting to nothing more than lip service.

They were well aware of Xiao Zheng’s earth-shattering strength, and considering a sect that had no relation to them, taking on Xiao Zheng would be a very foolish act.

During this time, Futu also began to take action, using its vast influence to silence many of the voices of condemnation.

As a result, after some time, the annihilation of the Wang Family seemed to be drifting towards a conclusion without any accountability.

This turn of events greatly surprised the many people following the incident, and they could deeply sense the terrifying, covert power of the Evil God and Sky Net.

The tumults within the Jianghu had no impact on the real world whatsoever. Zhonghai City continued to operate in a very stable manner, with various plots and power struggles unfolding within it.

In a secret room within the Hua Family in Zhonghai City, Hua Muran’s brother, Hua Youwei, was hatching a plot with three middle-aged men.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Fifth Uncle," Hua Youwei gritted his teeth and said, "I’m sure you’ve seen it. Lately, our father has gradually been handing over the power within the family to that woman, Hua Muran. It looks like he really intends to pass the position of Family Head to her! How can our noble Hua Family be led by a woman?"

"You are not wrong," Hua Youwei’s Second Uncle nodded, his brow deeply furrowed, "Muran does have some capabilities. These recent years, with her at the helm, our Hua Family has been thriving splendidly. It’s not an exaggeration to describe it as soaring. The only pity is that she’s a woman,

How can we, as proud men, allow ourselves to be led by a woman? To say this out loud would make us the laughingstock of others!"

"Yes, no matter how formidable Hua Muran may be, she is still a woman who will eventually marry. What then? Are we supposed to give our entire Hua Family as dowry?" Third Uncle nodded, his tone mocking.

"So, we absolutely cannot just watch this happen!" Hua Youwei slammed the table fiercely, his eyes becoming a crazed red.

"But have you considered something? Behind Hua Muran is Xiao Zheng!" At that moment, the Fifth Uncle spoke slowly.

Suddenly,

the entire secret room fell silent.

They all knew of Xiao Zheng’s strength, the Sect Leader of Tianji Sect, the number one underground power in Zhonghai City, vastly more formidable than the Hua Family.

With Xiao Zheng’s support, Hua Muran’s position was as solid as Taishan, unshakable by anyone.

"Hmph, so what if Xiao Zheng supports her? This is ultimately an internal matter of our Hua Family. Does he, an outsider, even have the face to intervene?" Second Uncle sneered coldly.

"Plus, with the right strategy, we may not necessarily alert Xiao Zheng," said the Third Uncle slowly.

Their determination was firm, resolved to support Hua Youwei’s claim to power.

Beyond the influence of their patriarchal attitudes, more importantly, they were keenly aware that once Hua Youwei was in power, they would have an easier time controlling the great authority of the Hua Family.

Hua Youwei was inept, and they were cunning operators. To control a simpleton like Hua Youwei was a straightforward task for them, whereas controlling Hua Muran was almost impossible.

"You all have a point, so what specifically should we do?" The Fifth Uncle was somewhat persuaded and then asked a key question.

At that moment, Hua Youwei smiled slyly and said, "Isn’t the small town under Tianji Sect’s domain? I have already spent a large sum to win over a minor leader within Tianji Sect. Just as planned, by using this leader, we can easily capture Hua Muran."

After hearing this, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Fifth Uncle could not help but reveal a trace of a smile and said, "Kid, you’re smarter than I thought, having come up with such an ingenious scheme."

"Hehe, I still need the help of my uncles, my own network isn’t enough to mobilize any martial arts masters," said Hua Youwei with a smirk.

"Leave that to us."

The three men agreed readily.

On the pedestrian street of Zhonghai City, a commotion arose because a woman was shopping there, looking like a heavenly being. Every man who was out shopping couldn’t help but turn their gaze toward her, and even many women were drawn in.

Originally busy, the area now became congested.

This woman was Hua Muran.

Having finished dealing with many matters within the family recently, she wished to relax, choosing to go shopping as her way to unwind.

After becoming the Acting Family Head of the Hua Family, with a high position and great power, she gradually preferred to act alone, including shopping by herself.

Mainly because her female friends now behaved obsequiously towards her, making interactions quite unnatural, which Hua Muran did not enjoy.

After visiting several shops and approaching a corner, ready to head back, Hua Muran suddenly noticed a young man in a black suit approaching.

"You are Miss Hua, aren’t you?" the young man said with a faint smile.

"Who are you?"

Hua Muran was somewhat puzzled upon seeing this young man, as she did not recognize him.

"I am a minor leader within Tianji Sect, my name is Xue Zheng. This is my identity card from Tianji Sect; you should recognize it, Miss Hua?"

With a slight smile, the man named Xue Zheng took out a card from his chest and handed it over to Hua Muran.

Accepting the card, Hua Muran looked down.

On the small card was printed a very complex figure, as mysterious and unfathomable as the mechanism of fate, and above it was the headshot of the young man in front of her.

Hua Muran almost instantly recognized it; indeed, it was Tianji Sect’s identity card, created with a very unique technology that left no room for counterfeiting.

Realizing that this Xue Zheng was from Tianji Sect, Hua Muran’s wariness faded, considering Tianji Sect was a force under Xiao Zheng.

"What do you need from me?" Hua Muran returned the card to Xue Zheng and then asked.
