"My lord, the Ouyang family has sent word that they intend to wipe out the Dou family within three days!"
Nangong Hongliu's brow furrowed. This was not a good omen. He had just obtained a hidden profession from the village chief, and the Ouyang family was already planning to destroy Dou Youyou's family.
One had to remember that Dou Youyou was the apple of the village chief's eye, and anyone who dared to touch her would face dire consequences.
"What's the situation?"
"It's unclear. It seems the village chief didn't give them face, causing the Ouyang family to lose all dignity. Today, with us obtaining a hidden profession, they've made this decision!"
"The Ouyang family are a bunch of idiots. Attacking the Dou family at this time is practically seeking death! What are the other major families' reactions?"
"None so far. They seem to be watching the show, unwilling to truly offend the Ouyang family. This time, it depends on how the village chief handles it!"
"What do you mean 'depends on how the village chief handles it'? It depends on how *we* handle it! We just got the village chief's disciple's family involved, isn't this clearly an insult to us?"
"Pass down the order. If the Ouyang family dares to make a move on the Dou family, then forget politeness. We will protect the Dou family, our Nangong family will!
"Yes, but my lord, are we truly going to offend the Ouyang family for the sake of a village chief?"
"You know nothing! Times have changed. The village chief is still very useful. When he has no more value, why should we care about anyone else? But now it's different. We still need to use the village chief to strengthen our Nangong family!"
"Yes, I'll go do it now!"
Soon, the Ouyang family's powerful hand reached out towards the Dou family, but it was intercepted by another hand midway. It was the Nangong family.
The two top families clashed head-on, and after a brief moment, both sides observed the situation.
However, the patriarchs of the two families had already spoken.
"Is your Nangong family trying to oppose our Ouyang family?"
"It's not about opposing. It's just that the Dou family is now under the protection of our Nangong family!"
"Heh heh, is your Nangong family sure about this?"
"The facts are clear. The Nangong family will not allow anyone to touch the village chief's people. You might not know this, but the hidden profession that just appeared was also given by the village chief. This is called having the first move, which you do not!"
The Ouyang family patriarch's expression changed drastically.
He had never expected that the recently appeared hidden profession was also a move by the village chief. It seemed this village chief had many hidden trump cards.
No wonder the village chief dared to threaten him.
One hidden profession had directly put the Nangong family at odds with them.
But if he used a few more hidden professions, would other families also start suppressing the Ouyang family?
The Ouyang family patriarch's thoughts grew more fearful. If that were the case, their Ouyang family would be on a path to eternal damnation.
"Your Nangong family shouldn't celebrate too early. The village chief might not be the only backer in the game!"
"Heh heh, at least for now, or at least before level 50!"
The Ouyang family patriarch angrily hung up the phone.
"Damn it, how can you all be so useless? You can't accomplish anything. Look at how the Nangong family has whatever they want! I want you to get the hidden profession at all costs, and I want you to make our Ouyang family's guild the biggest at all costs!"
Dou Jianhua never expected that an invisible battle had already begun in front of him, yet he was completely unaware.
In the game, Chang Sheng also received the news.
"Master, the Nangong family has made a move, intercepting the Ouyang family midway. It's said that the Ouyang family is furious!"
"Haha, I thought he'd be stubborn and continue to resist. If that were the case, I could make an exception and bring in another major family from the capital. Let's see if the Ouyang family can handle it!"
Let alone bringing in another major family, the Nangong family alone was already proving difficult for the Ouyang family to handle.
"Tell your patriarch that I am very satisfied with his actions today!"
"Yes, Master!"
In the evening, Zhang Pingfan, as usual, continued to hunt down level 30 epic bosses and level 40 golden bosses.
Coincidentally, the last boss dropped the final guild token!
Now, Zhang Pingfan had three guild tokens in his backpack, just enough to give to the three major guilds.
Zhang Pingfan directly contacted Dou Youyou and asked her to relay the message to the guild leaders of the three guilds.
A few minutes later, the leaders of the three guilds rushed to the statue in the central square of Pingfan City, where Zhang Pingfan was standing.
"Village Chief, we're here. What's the matter that you summoned us so urgently?"
Zhang Pingfan didn't say much. Since the three of them had already signed contracts, they should know what to do.
Zhang Pingfan threw the three guild tokens into their hands, one by one.
"Finally managed to get them all for you. It's 1000 gold coins each. Then I'll help you create guilds. You'll need to prepare 100 gold coins for the creation fee. The guild creation quest can be waived directly for you!"
The three were overjoyed. They never expected him to give them all the guild tokens at once.
"The Village Chief's actions are truly extraordinary. Once these guilds are created, the game world will largely be ours!"
"Indeed, those major families are ultimately outsiders!"
Zhang Pingfan said, "These matters are up to you. Pay up!"
The three didn't delay and handed over the prepared 1000 gold coins to Zhang Pingfan.
Zhang Pingfan, who had millions of gold remaining, was now a millionaire.
Then, Zhang Pingfan led the three to the guild administrator for guild creation.
Because of Zhang Pingfan's connection, the guild quests for all three were also waived, requiring only 100 gold coins to create successfully.
Without any surprises, the creation of the three guilds appeared in the game channel, causing a huge stir.

The creation of three guilds simultaneously was a move that only the Village Chief could pull off. Everyone once again turned their attention to the Village Chief.
"The Village Chief is still awesome. I heard the three major guilds have been very close to the Village Chief recently. Could it be because of this?"
"The three major guilds and the Eternal Mythology guild have indeed been interacting closely recently. I heard the four guilds have already formed an alliance!"
"No, I only heard that Jia Jia guild formed an alliance. As for the Eternal Mythology guild, because it was created by the Village Chief's disciple Dou Youyou, it seems everyone is trying to appease them, not offend them!"
"You don't know about this. According to inside information, the three major guilds and the Eternal Mythology guild seem to have reached some kind of agreement, aimed at jointly dealing with the guilds created by the major families!"
"Really? Are the guilds of those major families that formidable?"
"Formidable? Can they not be formidable? I heard that more than half of the elites from the three major guilds have been poached. Do you think they are formidable? If this continues, the three major guilds might become empty shells. I think allying with the Eternal Mythology guild is the best plan!"
"Exactly. With the establishment of the three major guilds and the Eternal Mythology guild, it will be extremely difficult for those large guilds to make a move against them again!"
"After establishing guilds, it's very convenient for both large-scale battles and calling for reinforcements. Those major families' guilds are probably in for a rough time. It's impossible for the three major guilds not to seek revenge!"
