Chapter 160 begins with a counterattack

At this moment, in the solemn and dignified inner hall of the Cultivation Alliance, Zhang Wenyu's face was as solemn as ice, his deep eyes fixed on Lin Fan in front of him. After a moment's silence, he finally spoke slowly, "Lin Fan, I'm sure you've heard something by now. That fellow Liu Lei is actually planning to hold the City Lord Competition Conference early! However, this is not the most important thing. The real problem is that almost all the people in Jigui City have now sided with him. As a result, our subsequent action plans will inevitably encounter many obstacles!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was instantly enraged, his face filled with resentment. He gnashed his teeth and roared, "How despicable! I never expected that old fox Liu Lei to resort to such ruthless tactics. It seems we underestimated his scheming and cunning after all! Now that things have come to this, the current situation forces us to resort to a swift and decisive strategy!"

Zhang Wenyu nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Fan's words. He then continued his analysis thoughtfully, "However, things are not hopeless. Thinking back to your earlier suggestion, it has given me an idea. Since so many people are now supporting Liu Lei, those who have grudges against him will either express their opposition openly or simply remain silent and inactive. This provides us with a perfect opportunity to track down these people."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan's originally tense face instantly relaxed, as if he had been enlightened. A dazzling light suddenly bloomed in his eyes, and his whole body suddenly became clear.

Lin Fan's face was filled with excitement, unable to contain his inner excitement. He exclaimed, "That's right! As long as we can successfully win these people over to our side, then we'll have strong assets to compete with Liu Lei in the upcoming City Lord Competition! This will greatly increase our chances of winning! In my opinion, we should first quietly conduct an in-depth investigation to thoroughly understand the true identities of these people and what they are trying to achieve. Then, we can develop corresponding strategies based on their different situations, breaking down their defenses one by one, and making them willingly stand on our side."

Zhang Wenyu nodded gently in agreement, "Well, you're absolutely right. This matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later! I'll immediately arrange for reliable personnel to handle it. However, we must be extra cautious and prudent during this process! You know, Liu Lei is not a pushover. He'll undoubtedly be wary of our actions and take precautions. If he were to discover our plan, those already wavering and undecided would undoubtedly side with him without hesitation! So, we must not let our guard down!"

Lin Fan's eyes were filled with determination. He clenched his fists tightly and responded firmly, "Don't worry! I will personally participate in the entire plan and control every step of the way. I will make sure there are no mistakes and that everything is foolproof!"

Hearing Lin Fan's resolute and decisive statement, Zhang Wenyu smiled with relief and said, "Great! With your words, I'm truly relieved! I'll immediately inform the other faction partners about this matter. Let's all work together and strive to achieve some significant results before the City Lord Competition officially begins!"

Afterwards, Lin Fan left in a hurry. Zhang Wenyu did not dare to delay for even a second and immediately called his trusted people, ordering them to quickly pass on this important suggestion to other forces.

After his men took the order and left, Zhang Wenyu was left alone in the spacious and bright office. He slowly walked to the huge bookshelf and reached out to pull out a thick ancient book - "History of Jigui City".

Zhang Wenyu gently turned the yellowed pages of the book, and browsed intently through the texts that recorded the past years of Jigui City. He hoped to find some clues from it, and discover clues about Liu Lei's abnormal behavior or unknown secrets.

Time passed minute by minute, and just as Zhang Wenyu was immersed in the pile of old papers, a slight knock on the door suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

Zhang Wenyu raised his head and frowned slightly, but quickly put down the information in his hand, cleared his throat and said, "Come in."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a slight knock at the door. The door slowly opened, and in walked a young man dressed in the uniform of the Cultivation Alliance. He bowed respectfully to Zhang Wenyu and said, "Alliance Leader, there is a young man outside who has reached the Golden Core stage and wants to see you. He claims to be able to help you solve the problem related to City Lord Liu."

Hearing this, Zhang Wenyu's face did not show much surprise. He just nodded thoughtfully. After a few seconds of silence, he responded: "Well, let him in."

After saying that, Zhang Wenyu picked up the documents on the table again and continued to study them. Seeing this, the member who came to report nodded softly, then carefully left the room and closed the door.

Not long after, a steady and powerful sound of footsteps came from afar, and then the door was pushed open again. A tall but ordinary-looking young man strode into the room. He was calm and composed, exuding a confident and calm temperament.

At this moment, the large room was exceptionally quiet. Only Zhang Wenyu and a young man stood facing each other. Zhang Wenyu gently set the documents aside and slowly shifted his gaze to the young man in front of him.

The young man had an ordinary face, nothing special about him, but what was surprising was that he exuded a unique temperament that ordinary people did not possess.

This mysterious and eye-catching aura made Zhang Wenyu instantly look at the young man with admiration, and he immediately became fully alert to deal with it.

Zhang Wenyu stared at the young man in front of him, frowning slightly. He asked with a slightly doubtful tone, "I wonder if what this fellow Daoist just said is true? Can it really help me resolve my current predicament?"

However, in response to Zhang Wenyu's question, the young man did not rush to respond. He just walked towards Zhang Wenyu slowly. When he came to the table, he first lowered his head to examine the materials on the table, and then turned his gaze to the books neatly placed on the edge of the bookshelf. After a brief pause, the young man slowly turned around and looked at Zhang Wenyu again.
