The Li Family's old man and the Guardian Elder of the Treasure Tower were equally matched in strength. Fighting would definitely not produce a winner quickly, and even if one side won, it would be a narrow victory, hardly necessary.
So after exchanging a few blows, both sides stopped. The Li Family obediently paid reparations; the Treasure Tower was everywhere, while the Li Family only held one small domain, unable to afford offending them.
Once the strong figures from the Treasure Tower arrived, the Li Family would surely be doomed.
Recently, through various means, they recouped some losses from others, but it was a huge blow, and recovery would not be quick.
The only good news was that the four families in the same city also suffered similar fates, which was a relief for them.
They had worked hard for so many years and naturally didn't want to be set back to square one.
Now that everyone had fallen, it felt somewhat justified.
