Eternal life begins with saving my clan

As the Wang clan gathered their men to attack the Cao clan, the Liu, Chen, and other clans were also doing the same thing.

At once, both the core and the inner region were thrown into an upheaval.

Everyone was wondering what was going on. Are they under attack?

Is this a clan war?

The not-so-peaceful Baiyun city was thrown into more chaos. This time around, it aroused the curiosity of everyone. All eyes were focused on the Cao clan and how they would respond.

Tens of clans with their remaining troops marched toward the Cao clan. Even the two behemoths, the city lord and the Crimson Jade Pavilion, had their men keep eyes on the dispute.

What would be the response of the Cao clan?

Would they attack?

Tell them what happened on the southern sea.

Everyone's anticipation was at an all-time high. Moreover, a new scheme was going on apart from the current dispute. The lavish spending of the Cao had gotten on the nerves of everyone.

This was a rare chance to find out.

At the northwestern part of the inner region, a guard was running at the top of his speed.

The two guards guarding the entrance of the Cao clan saw their comrade as if he was being pursued by a ferocious monster.

They gazed behind him and found nothing of such chasing after him.

They exchanged subtle glances with puzzlement etched on their faces.

"Why…."

"Get out of the way!" The running guard shouted, pushing the two guards aside and barged into the mansion.

"You piece of shit!" One of the guards outside cursed with fury.

Shortly, hundreds of heavy footsteps resounded from the distance.

The two guards at the entrance blinked their eyes as they turned in the direction of the heavy footsteps.

When they saw the hundred of men in armor marching toward them with furious expressions on their faces, they swallowed the lumps in their throats. From the insignia on their armor, they were from the Wang clan.

Just as they were wondering why the Wang clan would bring their army toward their mansion, they saw the Liu, Chen, and other clan's soldiers marching toward them as if they were going for war.

Without uttering a word, they took a couple of steps back before turning to rush inside.

When the furious clans arrived in front of the Cao clan, they stopped. Wang Luli, the wife of the Wang patriarch, stepped out of her carriage and looked at the mansion in front of her with obvious hatred.

"Cao Meng, get out here now, or else I'll send my men to burn this place to a crisp," she shouted.

Behind her were the wives and elders of other clans. Today, they won't leave until they get a satisfying answer from the Cao clan.

The atmosphere was palpable with strong suffocating tension. Everyone was waiting patiently for the Cao clan matriarch.

Creak!

The door opened, and Cao Meng emerged with a calm look on her face. Her blue robe hugged her body tightly, displaying all her curves and assets.

Cao Meng was one of the most pretty women in Baiyun city. Many powerful men from powerful clans had tried to court her but she refused.

When they failed to court her, they chose another tactic. They pressured her clan, taking all their resources, killing their men.

This put a lot of pressure on their declining clan, but the Cao clan was known for their stubbornness, and Cao Meng wasn't any different. She maintained her stand.

Now, with all odds stacked against her and her clan, how would she navigate out of this troubled time?

"Luli, why are you yelling like a ruffian? That doesn't befit a woman of your status," Cao Meng said casually.

However, Wang Luli was so furious that her chest heaved up and down. She gritted her teeth, glaring at Cao Meng.

She wanted nothing but to rip the life out of Cao Meng. Taking a deep breath to control her anger, 'Don't worry, today you're not escaping unscathed,' she vowed in her heart.

She had once been a rival of Cao Meng before she successfully married Wang Duyi.

She thought she was competing against her for Wang Duyi's attention. It was only when she married Duyi did she realize Cao Meng was just too proud, and she didn't place Wang Duyi in her eyes.

She realized she had been making a fool of herself right from the beginning. Therefore, she vowed to take revenge but didn't have the chance, not until now.

Nothing could stop her from destroying the Cao Clan.

Right behind Wang Luli, a beautiful woman stepped forward. She was the main wife of the Liu patriarch—Liu Zhi.

"I don't care about the bickering between you two. Just tell me what happened to my husband," she asked.

Cao Meng turned her gaze and looked at Liu Zhi and said, "Are you stupid or what? When your husband went out to the sea, did he come to ask permission from me? So why in the hell would you be asking his whereabouts from me?"

"Y-You.." Liu Zhi was so furious that she was speechless.

"You what?" She cut her off sharply. "You lot only get looks but no brains. If you all had a bit of common sense, you wouldn't bring your minions to my doorstep like some barbarian. Instead, you would be at the sea looking for your spouse."

For a couple of seconds, everywhere was pin-drop silence. Cao Meng's arrogance was way beyond what they planned for. She didn't mince her words at all. She berated every one of them as if she was talking to kids.

Her tone was so poisonous that no one knew how to respond.

Suddenly, a man in his late twenties stepped forward brimming with confidence. He was handsome and dashing, a man of every woman's dream.

"Please…"

"Who the hell are you?" Cao Meng interrupted, turning her gaze at him.

Hmm!

His confidence entrance shattered immediately under Cao Meng's sharp gaze.

Quickly, he tried to recover his confident self as he opened his mouth to speak, only to be interrupted once again by her. fгeewebnovёl.com

"Shut the fuck off. I don't want to hear a child crying for his parent. Get lost."

Everyone sucked in a cold breath. Was this the same Cao Meng they knew?!

As for the young man, he froze with his jaw dropped to the ground. He could feel the hot gaze of everyone on his body. With an unruly look on his face, his neck shrank as he retreated with wobbling legs.

'You damn bitch. Let's see how long your arrogance can last.'

Cao Meng looked at the speechless group in front of her, her heart racing against her chest. It pounded heavily against her chest like a drum.

'This is insane! His plan worked.' She screamed in her heart. She wouldn't have had the guts to behave this unruly if not for Su Yen's words. 'Let loose, show them their place.' That was the word spoken to her by Su Yen.

Looking at the proud look on Cao Meng's face, Wand Luli was furious and shouted.

"Capture her; she will tell us everything she knows when we torture her."
