Paused for a moment.
Elder Clan Leader Shangguan continued:
"Although the South Huai Prefecture is currently dominated by the Fu Family, the Shi Family is also a rising star. Grand Elder Shi has successfully broken through to the Purple Mansion. If they keep pushing forward, it won't be long before a second and third Purple Mansion appears."
"It's acceptable for us to fall behind the Fu Family, but we can't let the up-and-coming Shi Family surpass us."
"Moreover,"
"The Shangguan Family wishes to advance to the Seventh-Grade, requiring multiple Purple Mansion cultivators, don't we?"
Elder Clan Leader Shangguan feared that his son might develop misguided intentions.
His own resignation is one thing, but Shangguan Feng has the backing of the Fu Family, who now possesses four Purple Mansion cultivators, plus two Tier Three Spirit Pets and two Tier Three Corpse Puppets. Such power is not one they can afford to offend.
