"If they're only asked to attack these three, they might just agree!"
The Eighth Elder nodded his head after giving it some thought. “After all, it’s impossible to walk away with zero losses if they were to fight a huge family such as the Woods family. Once news of how one of the Four Ancient Clans attacked a reclusive family gets out, it'll be troublesome!"
Lilly was well aware that the Four Ancient Clans and the reclusive families had always maintained an unspoken understanding that they would never meddle in each other's waters.
Besides, the Four Ancient Clans had also promised that they would never interfere in the reclusive families' affairs to not impede their growth.
Furthermore, there was the occasional scuffle or friction between them and the reclusive families, such as the eight first-class families, but the possibility of an actual war breaking out was pretty low.
They had their disagreements, but once an Ancient Clan attacked a reclusive family, the other reclusive families would definitely band together to oppose the Ancient Clan, even going to war with them.
This was because the reclusive families were aware that if something like that happened once, it was likely to happen again if they did not fight back together. The next target could be any of the families.
The Ancient Clans could attack the families until all of them were destroyed. That was why it would be difficult to convince the Ancient Clans to attack the Woods family, which was a first-class family. The chances of them agreeing to the proposition were very small.
However, if it was to attack only a few people, it was extremely likely that they would agree to it. They only needed to target two or three people, and if they secretly killed the targets in the danger zone, nobody would be able to determine if they were the murderers.
"Naturally. But still, I must test their waters. I'll first suggest that they wipe out the entire Woods family, and they'll definitely refuse. This way, they'll feel like they've made a bargain if I reduce my conditions. The chances of them agreeing to it will be even bigger!"
Lily gave a wicked smile and said.
The Eighth Elder smiled and flipped his palm, taking out four first-grade premium pills and thrusting them toward the guards. "Young lads, just let them know that we're here. Will these work?"
They had obtained these pills from the Pavilion of Divinity. That was why they were more generous this time, taking the pills out right off the bat.
The four disciples were not of high cultivation levels. Their eyes immediately brightened when they saw the pills. The pills would be of great help to them.
"All right!"
One of the men took the pills without hesitation before dividing them with his fellow guards.
