Just now, the junior was present, so it was hard to talk about many things. When Wang Minghui and the two left, Wang Xiuhai's expression gradually became serious, he frowned and said to Wang Xiujie in a hesitant tone:
"Second brother, the North Square has become more and more lively since some casual cultivators picked up missing talisman treasures in the North Square some time ago and exchanged them for foundation-building spiritual objects.
Now even Shian has encountered this situation. This is obviously a scam! Should we join forces with other families to intervene? "
After Wang Xiujie listened to Wang Xiuhai's words, he took a slow sip of tea, and then said with a playful expression:
"Sixth brother, how do you think we should intervene?"
"We can issue a notice in the name of the entire Tainanfang City, saying that this incident is just a coincidence and not representative, and then strictly investigate the deception and abduction, and severely punish those found out!" Wang Xiuhai thought for a while and said.
Hearing this, Wang Xiujie couldn't help but laugh.
"Sixth brother, do you know that since this incident happened, there are many more casual practitioners in our market this year than in previous years, a full 30%!"
Wang Xiujie looked at Wang Xiuhai's puzzled expression and continued patiently:
"You have to know that it is during the trade fair. 70% of our Tainanfang City's annual profit depends on the trade conference, and more than half of this 70% is contributed by casual cultivators!
It is foreseeable that the family's income in Tainanfang City this year will definitely be very considerable, which can also relieve the family's pressure. "
"If we follow what you said and conduct such a strict investigation, do you think there will still be so many people in our city? Furthermore, even if I, Wang, agree, do you think other families will agree?"
Hearing what his second brother said, Wang Xiuhai nodded with understanding, and then said with a worried tone:
"Second brother, if we just let things go, if something happens, it will definitely affect the reputation of our city. So what should we do?"
"You, you," Wang Xiujie seemed to have heard something funny.
"What impact can it have? Do you think those casual cultivators don't know that most of these things are false? But for casual cultivators, as long as one of them is true, it's worth the gamble!"
"Because they don't have good talents, they don't have a family like ours to rely on, and they don't have the background of sect monks! If they want to take a step further on the road, they have no choice but to fight and gamble!"
This is actually just like Wang Shian buying lottery tickets in his previous life. Even though they know it is fake, countless people still imagine that they can be the lucky one...
Having said this, Wang Xiujie changed his tone and said with an unpredictable expression:
"Besides, do you think this matter is really that simple?"
"Oh? What does second brother mean?"
Wang Xiuhai asked unclearly.
"Do you remember the group we've been tracking?"
Wang Xiujie did not answer directly, but asked instead.
When Wang Xiuhai heard his second brother's question, he thought for a moment. After a while, as if he thought of something, he said with a horrified expression:
"What!"
"Second brother, you mean that the situation in our city is caused by that group of people?"
Seeing his second brother nodding silently, Wang Xiuhai kept thinking about the situation of this group of people.
Since eight years ago, within 3,000 miles of the four major foundation-building families of Wang Han, Huang and Chen, incidents of disappearances of monks in the late stage of Qi training, especially those at the ninth level of Qi training, have occurred one after another. Among them, some of the missing ninth-level Qi training monks have disappeared. The monk disappeared while searching for treasure.
At first, the four major families didn't pay attention, because the missing people were all casual cultivators, which was normal, after all, accidents were everywhere.
Until seven years ago, one after another among the four major families, monks in the late stages of Qi training disappeared, and there were even monks who had perfected Qi training. You must know that monks who have perfected Qi training are very important backbones for the Foundation Establishment family.
Now the four major families couldn't sit still, so they united and sent foundation-building monks to patrol in pairs. What really shocked Wang Xiuhai was this patrol incident!
The Wang family sent Wang Xiuzhu, Wang Shi'an's grandfather, who had spent several years building a foundation to consolidate his cultivation and leave the country, to inspect together with Han Daoran of the Han family.
Although both of them are in the early stage of foundation building, their cultivation is stable. Considering that the missing monk is only in the Qi training period, the four major families guess that the other party is most likely in the early stage of foundation building, or at most in the middle stage of foundation building. It stands to reason that there is no need to worry at all.
But the result was that the two of them were seriously injured and escaped. Wang Xiuzhu even escaped after detonating a low-grade spiritual weapon and seriously injuring his energy. The key was that the opponent was not in the early stage of foundation building, let alone the middle stage of foundation building, but a group of monks who were full of energy in the late stage of Qi training.
After this incident, Wang Xiuzhu announced to the outside world that he was practicing in seclusion, but in fact he had been recuperating from his injuries in order to avoid causing panic.
The four major families privately increased their efforts to search for this group of people. Unfortunately, after this incident, although Qi Practitioners occasionally disappeared, they never encountered this group of people again.
The key is, after all these years, the opponent's strength must not be underestimated.
Wang Xiuhai shook his head to expel some nervousness, took a deep breath, and said solemnly:
"Second brother, if this is really the group of people, we have to deal with it carefully!"
Wang Xiujie also nodded solemnly. After all, he was only at the early stage of foundation building.
"Send a summons to the second uncle first and let's see what he decides."
The second uncle mentioned by Wang Xiujie is Wang Lequan. Apart from Wang Lixing, he is currently the Wang family's highest cultivation level, reaching the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.
Then he thought about it and continued to Wang Xiuhai:
"Don't let this matter be spread outside, and ask Shi'an and I not to go out for the next two days. I will contact other Taoists in Fang City to discuss countermeasures..."
