Chapter 859: The Situation Continues to Reverse
This evening, five families reached a consensus to form an alliance to jointly battle against the Zhang Family.
For Patriarch Song, tonight he can sleep peacefully.
No longer troubled by the oppression from the Zhang Family, unable to sleep.
He had absolute confidence.
The next morning, without prior notice, the other four families stood with the Song Family and declared war against the Zhang Family.
The situation changed instantly.
Yesterday, the Song Family, which had no power to resist against the Zhang Family, had now turned the tide with the support of four families.
They began to go all out, launching a counterattack against the Zhang Family.
The tide of the battle shifted, turning unfavorable for the Zhang Family.
Inside the Zhang Family's main house.
Zhang Jun and Zhang Dehou were also discussing countermeasures.
"The Song Family has united with those four families to battle our Zhang Family."
"Those five families have joined forces, the situation is unfavorable for the Zhang Family!"
Zhang Jun looked at Zhang Dehou.
Zhang Dehou nodded slightly, "Indeed, our Zhang Family fighting any one of those families individually would undoubtedly be overwhelming."
"But now, one against five... our Zhang Family doesn't have a great chance of winning."
"However, there's no need to worry, the Zhu Family will choose to help us. It's just that... it would be best to first seek Chen Xuan's opinion."
Zhang Jun nodded solemnly, "Alright, I'll call him right now."
Before long, Chen Xuan drove to the Zhang Family's main house.
"Chen Xuan, you must know the current situation is very unfavorable for the Zhang Family."
Zhang Jun said softly.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "Why panic? Even without the Luo Family's intervention, with just the Zhu Family alone, with your two families united, would you still fear those five third-rate families?"
Zhang Jun forced a grin, "It's not fear, it's just wanting to consult your opinion."
"Should we directly eliminate their five families, or is there another way to handle this?"
"If we are to wipe out their five families in one go, relying solely on our two families is far from enough."
"It would be best to also get the Zheng Family, the Chang Family, and the Zhao Family involved. That way, it would be effortless to easily wipe out those five families!"
Chen Xuan nodded, "Hmm, not bad, your considerations are very comprehensive this time."
"Then first, in the name of the Zhang Family, warn those four patriarchs a little, if they withdraw now, we will let bygones be bygones."
"Let's see what they say first."
"Alright." Zhang Jun answered, and promptly sent out notifications to the four patriarchs.
Soon, those four patriarchs received the message from the Zhang Family, demanding their withdrawal.
In the message, Zhang Jun made it clear that the Zhang Family's action was only to deal with the Song Family, unrelated to the other four families.
Should they persist in acting recklessly, insisting on perishing with the Song Family, then they are deliberately provoking the Zhang Family and must bear the consequences.
The four patriarchs simultaneously contacted Patriarch Song to discuss strategies.
Patriarch Song snorted coldly, "This is the Zhang Family's divisive tactic! They want to weaken our alliance, so it's easier to defeat us one by one."
"Now, more than ever, we must stay united! It means the Zhang Family is already afraid and doesn't want to confront us head-on!"
"There's nothing to worry about, let's launch a full-on attack and take down the Zhang Family in one go!"
The four patriarchs hesitated no more and unanimously agreed with Patriarch Song.
By afternoon, the four patriarchs still hadn't responded, remaining aligned with the Song Family to jointly fight against the Zhang Family.
Through their actions, they proved their stance—absolutely refusing to compromise or retreat.
Zhang Jun looked towards Chen Xuan, "What should we do now? Those four families ignored the notice I sent and still stand with the Song Family."
Chen Xuan sneered, "Then further pressure them, at least make them pay a little!"
"Get the Zhu Family involved! With your two families joining forces against the five families, let's see how the four patriarchs react."
"If they still refuse to see reason, then I'll have the Zheng Family, Chang Family, and Zhao Family all get involved and wipe out those five families at once!"
With a clear response from Chen Xuan, Zhang Jun was not at all worried, and his morale soared.
Immediately, he contacted the Patriarch of the Zhu Family, and the two families moved simultaneously.
With the Zhu Family joining in, the situation reversed once again.
The Zhang Family and Zhu Family united to battle the five third-rate families, creating a seesaw battle.
But in terms of overall strength, the Zhang Family and Zhu Family have the upper hand and are bound to win if the battle continues.
Ultimately, the five third-rate families cannot withstand two second-rate families.
It's just that the Zhang Family, as a second-rate family, barely holds on, far less robust than the Zhu Family.
If it comes to a fight to the death, those five families might lose, but they could also strip the Zhu Family to the bone, even less to say about the Zhang Family.
At this point, the four patriarchs began to waver, unsure of what choice to make next.
Whether to continue fighting to the end, or to compromise in exchange for a chance of survival…
