Chapter 798 The Conflict Between the Dongfang Family and the Sheng Family

Half a month later, Zhang Xing and others finally crossed the Hurricane Grassland and arrived at Xiaohe Town.

Dongfang Biying and her brother and sister were in an excited state all the way. After arriving home, they were not only not less excited, but even more excited.

That was because they invited back a god of war!

And they also brought the shocking news that the ancestor Zhaoyang was still alive.

Xiaohe Town is located more than 500 kilometers southwest of the imperial capital, close to a branch of the Chishui River.

The environment is not bad, but the soil here is not suitable for growing crops. People's livelihood is mainly derived from fish and shrimp in the Chishui River.

The population here is about 200,000. The most powerful ones, besides the Dongfang family, are the Sheng family.

The two families, one in the east and the other in the west, occupy two docks on the branch of the Chishui River.

On the one hand, it is for the resources in the water, and on the other hand, it is for river transportation.

The two families have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, and they are evenly matched, and no one can do anything to the other.

But in the past year, the Sheng family has received assistance from some unknown force and has frequently taken action to snatch the Dongfang family's business.

After several battles between the two sides, the Dongfang family had to give in due to defeat.

The Dongfang family had lost two-thirds of the river territory that originally belonged to the family, and its income dropped sharply.

The freight business at the dock was also taken away by the Sheng family using various means.

The family's expenses were obviously tight, and many merchants who depended on their family changed their families and joined the Sheng family.

Dongfang Chengye, the current patriarch of the Dongfang family, is now sixty years old and has a low level of cultivation, only at the intermediate level of the War Emperor.

He knew that the family was in danger, but it was not caused by the Sheng family, but by the forces that had been hidden behind them.

Therefore, he sent the sixth generation of family members headed by Dongfang Wang to embark on a treasure hunt again.

He hoped that this time he would be lucky enough to find the treasure.

Even if they gave up their decades of foundation here, even if they died in battle, as long as Dongfang Wang and others were still alive, they could still get the secret manual of the skills left by the ancestors.

Then, they would rest in peace.

Early this morning, a group of people from the Sheng family blocked the dock, saying that a batch of rare minerals shipped from the imperial capital was missing.

They insisted that it was stolen by the Dongfang family in the middle of the night.

Moreover, there were witnesses who demanded a search of the warehouse at the Dongfang family's dock.

This is simply nonsense, nothing more than finding a random reason to prevent the Dongfang family's cargo ship from transporting goods.

If the delivery time is delayed, the Dongfang family will compensate the other party for the loss.

After receiving the news, Dongfang Chengye personally led the fifth generation of the family's backbone to the dock.

"Alas! Another fierce battle is inevitable!"

The people of the Dongfang family sighed in grief and anger.

When they arrived at their own dock, they saw a mess.

The three rows of warehouses on the dock, which were more than 200 meters long, were smashed to pieces.

Some of the hired guys and managers in the family were beaten black and blue, and they were kneeling on the ground trembling, not daring to make a sound.

The more than 100 guards from those families were either dead or injured, and were piled up in a pile. The ground was covered with their blood and broken limbs.

"This is too much!"

Dongfang Chengye's eyes were about to burst, and his temples were throbbing.

It seemed that the Sheng family had received some instructions, and they were going to kill him.

In the past, the fights were small-scale, with a dozen guards fighting first, and then the two families sent five people to duel, with three wins out of five games.

The losing party paid compensation and ceded territory.

But this time, their Dongfang family's dock was directly leveled.

Dongfang Chengye realized that he might not be able to survive today.
