Hearing this word, Lu Fan frowned subconsciously: "What's going on?"
The fall of the ten major families was within Lu Fan's expectation.
However, according to his plan, the fall of the ten major families should begin with the fall of the Binhai Yu family.
When overseas monks invade Middle-earth, the first step must be to disintegrate the current power structure in Middle-earth.
Martial arts, the ten major families, and the four major aristocratic families will all bear the brunt and become the first major step for these overseas monks to invade Middle-earth.
But this takes time.
Not to mention the background of the ten major families, these ten major families are distributed in various parts of the Middle-Earth, and the matter in the South China Sea is no longer a secret. The forces of each family must have taken precautions against this.
Even if it falls, it should come one by one.
According to Lu Fan's estimation, the ten major families fell one after another within three months, and then the Martial Alliance collapsed, and the local power structure in Middle-earth was completely transformed.
But how long have you been back? In less than half a month, the ten major families are all over so quickly?
"This is too fast. Is your information accurate?" he questioned.
Song Jianqiu nodded with a heavy expression: "Yes, the situation has worsened, much more seriously than we previously expected."
He admitted frankly: "At first, my thoughts were the same as yours. Although these overseas monks are powerful, they are all outsiders to Middle-earth after all. Not to mention that they want to quickly disintegrate the power situation in Middle-earth.
It takes a long time to understand the situation and integrate into the secular world. This cannot be achieved in a short time."
"So as soon as I returned, I asked the head of the family to start rectifying all the large and small forces in Jiangnan. I conquered those who could be conquered and used some means to make them join our camp."
"The sixteen states in the south of the Yangtze River have now established martial arts defense lines, enclosing the entire central and southern parts of China as barriers."
"In the meantime, Wenren Muxue contacted me twice, saying that she had also informed the family to guard the sea of clouds, so that the East China Sea would be safe."
"At the same time, we can form a mutual defense situation with our Jiangnan side. When one side is in danger, the other side can arrive in time to provide support."
Having said this, he was silent for a moment: "Then I started to contact the Xuanyuan family, the Li family and other families, and asked them to come to you as soon as possible after settling the matter of the family residence."
"But what I didn't expect was that there was no news or contact with the Li family. The only Xuanyuan family that I could contact was that when I learned the news, they had been brutally exterminated."
"Genocide?"
Lu Fan's pupils shrank: "You mean, the Xuanyuan family has been exterminated?"
He still remembers Old Xuanyuan, the high-spirited old man at the Shenglongbang Ancient Martial Arts Conference.
How could the family be wiped out in such a short period of time?
"Well, there were more than a thousand people in the Xuanyuan family, ranging from the old man Xuanyuan to the slaves. No one was spared. They were all brutally slaughtered. Not even the chickens or dogs were left alive."
"The cause of the incident has not yet been investigated clearly."
"According to the news from Lu Wushuang, judging from the way these people died, they were not killed by overseas monks, but died..."
Seeing that Song Jianqiu was about to speak but hesitated, Lu Fan hurriedly asked: "What is it?"
"Death in the palm of your hand."
Song Jianqiu took a deep breath: "A bloody handprint was found on the chest of every deceased member of the Xuanyuan family. Although there were many scars left on their bodies, the fatal injuries all came from the bloody handprints on the chest...
