C48 The Plan to Annex the Bian Family!

"Father, you're on the cusp of reaching the Grand Martial Master realm, and our family is poised to ascend as one of the four great families. When that happens, the Bian family will surely try to thwart us. We need to strategize ahead of time," Yun Haoyan expressed with concern.

Yun Hai nodded in agreement. They had already incurred the Bian family's wrath.

Moreover, their family was on the verge of producing pills, which meant the Silkbarrow pill market would soon slip from the Bian family's grasp.

Obstructing someone's profits was akin to a personal vendetta. Even without their existing disputes, the Bian family wouldn't stand idly by.

Additionally, with Grand Alchemists in their ranks, they could easily outmatch the Bian family.

The Bian family would undoubtedly become adversaries of the Yun family, seeking every possible means to bring them down.

"What's your take on our next move?" Yun Hai inquired, lacking a solid plan himself.

Yun Haoyan was sharp-witted; he likely had a strategy in mind.

"Father, to begin with, the Yun family fears no challenge from the Bian family, especially once you've ascended to the Grand Martial Master realm.

With the power of the Heavenly cultivation technique, even if the Bian family boasts two Grand Martial Masters, they may not stand a chance against you.

And with a Grand Alchemist on our side, we hold the upper hand in pill mastery. The Bian family is no match for us," Yun Haoyan stated confidently.

Yun Hai pondered his son's words and found them logical.

The Yun family had undergone a transformation; they were no longer the family of old. Their current might was on par with, if not surpassing, the Bian family's.

"Father, my only concern is that I'd rather avoid a head-on clash with the Bian family," Yun Haoyan added.

Curious, Yun Hai probed, "Why? You've just pointed out our superior strength. Why shy away from a direct conflict with the Bian family?"

Yun Haoyan replied with a smile,

"Father, it's not that we're unwilling to fight. But engaging the Bian family offers us no real advantage.

The Bian family is, after all, one of Silkbarrow's three great families. Their strength should not be underestimated. Even in victory, we would incur losses."

"The crux of the matter is that the Yun family's foundation is too weak; we simply don't have the capacity to absorb the Bian family."

"Absorb the Bian family?" Yun Hai felt his heart pound with sudden intensity.

The Bian family had always been an entity he admired from afar. Now, the Yun family was scheming to absorb them.

If they managed to absorb the Bian family, the Yun family would undoubtedly become the most powerful in Silkbarrow.

That was Yun Haoyan's current strategy.

Previously, when the Yun family obliterated the Qiu family, they reaped no benefits. All the shops and mines owned by the Qiu family were claimed by the other three major families and the castellan.

With such a weak foundation, the Yun family lacked both the strength and the manpower to compete.

However, absorbing the Bian family would elevate the Yun family to one of Silkbarrow's three great families—a true ascent to power.

Yun Hai began to pace. The idea of his family absorbing the Bian family had never crossed his mind. Now, Yun Haoyan had abruptly informed him that the Yun family was already the dominant force in Silkbarrow.

The Yun family could grow even stronger, and he found it impossible to remain calm.

"What's your plan?" Yun Hai inquired, his voice grave. Given Yun Haoyan's confidence, he must have a strategy in mind. Yun Hai was eager to hear it.

Gathering his thoughts, Yun Haoyan began to outline his plan.
