NovelEnglishGiven Lin Group's current reputation and standing, who in this country would dare to offend them? All of this was something that these reclusive clans simply couldn't understand.
Back at Mount Zhongnan.
The Sima clan! They were hidden even further in, so the dense mountainous forests completely surrounded the Sima clan's estate and the entire area looked very dark and sinister.

It's only been three days and he's already dead! And he didn't get a single thing done!" "That Donghai is really terrifying and the Fang family lost a lot of people. How did the north becequally frightening? I remember the north back then..." "That was then. The north is no longer the same. This Lin Group is really impressive." "So what should we do? Do you mean we really have to go to Donghai to get the manual?" Everyone started discussing among themselves.
Nobody expected things to turn out like this.
The Sima family wasn't the only one that had suffered great losses and lost highly skilled fighters in the process. The other reclusive clans that shared the ssentiments as themselves had also lost highly skilled fighters. It was as if the world outside was now fully under the control of Donghai! "We wanted to use this to threaten and push that man from Donghai, but it looks like this isn't going to work. We've underestimated what Donghai is capable of." "Tsk, I really didn't expect this. A few decades have passed and there's actually such a frightening place out there!" The head of the Sima family, Sima Ru, listened to their discussion and didn't say anything. But his expression was extremely grim now.
He knew that his family wasn't the only one facing this problem. The sproblem had befallen the other families. Everyone had sent out advanced grandmaster level fighters from the mountain, and not a single one had cback alive! "Master Sima, I feel that this could possibly be a schby the Fang family!" someone suddenly shouted out from among the crowd and the entire hall immediately fell silent.
Sima Ru looked down at the crowd and his gaze eventually fell on the face of Sima Heng seated right in the corner.
"What did you say?" Sima Ru narrowed his eyes. "Sima Heng, you're saying that this is a schby the Fang family? You mean the manual is fake?" "Of course the manual is real, and the Fang family has already gotten one page. But they claim that Jiang Ning has more, and that part might be fake," said Sima Heng after he stood up and clasped his hands politely. "This might be a trap in order to make all the other reclusive clans suffer great losses for nothing." "How do you know that?" someone scoffed. This person clearly didn't like Sima Heng at all.
He looked at Sima Heng's dandy looking face and didn't trust this guy at all. His tone of voice was filled with contempt for Sima Heng.

The people that reclusive clans hated the most were those people who relied on their glib tongue to get by and not by their martial arts prowess. This Sima Heng was only allowed into the main hall to speak because he had gained the favor of the most senior elder of the clan. Sima Heng didn't care about how others looked at him. He just smiled and said, "It's so obvious, so why is there a need to even think?" "Since the Fang family already knows that Jiang Ning has other pages, why didn't they continue taking more pages?" "That's because they already got one page!"
"And is one page enough? There are nine pages in total. Any additional pages would increase one's power in this circle, isn't it?" retorted Sima Heng. "The Sima clan would never think that we are holding onto one page too many, so I'm sure the Fang clan would think the sway!" "But they aren't doing anything because the Fang clan doesn't want to suffer anymore losses!"
Sima Heng laughed and nodded.
"That's right. The Fang clan doesn't want to suffer anymore losses. Or rather, they can't afford to lose anymore! So since the Fang clan doesn't want to suffer anymore losses, why should the Sima clan suffer losses for nothing?"
