Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

In the early days of Qianwei Town, there were three major clans that held significant power and influence over the town: the Zhang Clan, the Li Clan, and the Meng Clan.

The Li Clan was the first to rise to power, with a strong military force and vast wealth.

They were renowned for their cunning and ruthless tactics, using any means necessary to maintain their dominance over the other two clans.

Their arrogance and overbearing nature earned them a reputation as bullies, and they often looked down on those from the other clans.

The Meng Clan, on the other hand, was wealthy and well-connected, with many ties to the imperial court.

However, they lacked a strong military force and were often overshadowed by the Li Clan's might.

In an attempt to increase their power and influence, the Meng Clan arranged an engagement between their heiress, Meng Xiangyi, and the head of the Li Clan.

Meanwhile, the Zhang Clan, led by the formidable Zhang Fei, was growing rapidly in power and influence.

They formed alliances with various factions and began to challenge the Li Clan's hold on the town.

The Zhang Clan was known for their fierce loyalty and uncompromising sense of justice, which earned them the support of many townspeople.

As tensions between the three clans escalated, the engagement between Meng Xiangyi and the Li Clan head was called off, causing further animosity between the Meng and Li Clans.

In a surprise move, Zhang Fei led a surprise attack on the Li Clan's stronghold, completely destroying their power and leaving them in ruins.

With the Li Clan gone, the Zhang Clan became the new dominant force in Qianwei Town, and the Meng Clan was forced to make alliances with them in order to maintain their position.

The town flourished under the combined efforts of the Zhang and Meng Clans, with new businesses and infrastructure projects springing up all over the town.

The history of these three clans remains a testament to the ever-changing power dynamics of Qianwei Town.

Wang Jian's mind was churning with a plethora of strategies to weaken Zhang Fei's grip on Qianwei Town. He was well aware that the crux of Zhang's power resided in his clan, so he made it his top priority to dismantle it piece by piece.

With a cool and calculating demeanor, Wang Jian set out to sabotage the Zhang Clan's strongest allies, starting with the Dao of Alchemy Society's branch in Qianwei Town.

Fortunately for him, it was an easy task.

All he had to do was send a message to Xie Zhiwei.

Despite Xie Zhiwei's notorious reputation in Aria City, he held significant influence within the Dao of Alchemy Society.

His words carried weight, and he could quickly sever the alliance between the Zhang Clan and the lowly branch in Qianwei Town.

Xie Zhiwei could even forbid any aid from the Dao of Alchemy Society to the Zhang Clan.

Through a speed post, it took one whole day to reach this message to him. This message was sent through a Gyrfalcon to ensure it would reach the destination quickly.

Wang Jian wasted no time after sending the message via Gyrfalcon. He promptly held a meeting with the other influential clans in Qianwei Town, namely the Ji and Lin Clans.

Upon learning of his royal status, these clans welcomed him with great respect and hospitality.

Wang Jian was pleased but did not let his guard down as he shared his intentions with them.

He revealed that he had set in motion a plan to undermine the Zhang Clan's power by breaking their alliance with the Dao of Alchemy Society's branch.

Wang Jian was confident that with the Zhang Clan's loss of support, a chance for the other clans to rise up would soon appear.

He offered them the opportunity to accomplish great deeds in the upcoming battle against the Zhang Clan, assuring them that the Dao of Alchemy Society's branch would be willing to support whichever clan emerged victorious.

With this, the three clans began to strategize and prepare for the impending conflict, each hoping to be the one to claim victory and receive the coveted support of the Dao of Alchemy Society's branch.

The following day, Qianwei City received two speed posts.

One was addressed to Wang Jian, and the other to the branch of the Dao of Alchemy Society in the city.

Xie Zhiwei's letter to Wang Jian confirmed that the branch of the Dao of Alchemy Society was now under his command, and they would comply with all his directives.

Moreover, Xie Zhiwei had also sent a letter to the society's branch, bearing his father's seal.

As a result, the society severed all connections with the Zhang Clan and was forbidden from aiding them in any way.

At this moment, the members of the branch of the Dao of Alchemy Society were bewildered by the sudden order sent by a high-ranking member of the main branch.

It was the Grand Elder of the Society who had given the order, and his word was as authoritative as that of the Society Leader. No one could dare to oppose it.

Xu Yuting, unable to comprehend the reason behind this order, sent numerous letters to her grandfather and father, urging them to investigate the matter.

"I can't just stand by and do nothing," she muttered to herself. "I must protect Brother Fei's clan at all costs. How can I face him if something terrible happens to them?"

Little did Xu Yuting know that the Lin Clan and the Ji Clan had long been anticipating this moment.

As soon as they received the news of the Zhang Clan's severed connection with the Dao of Alchemy Society, they sprang into action. The two clans acted swiftly and launched a coordinated attack on the Zhang Clan, encircling them from all sides.

Despite being taken by surprise, the Zhang Clan reacted promptly to the attack and set up a robust defensive mechanism to shield themselves from the assaults of the Ji and Lin Clans.

The attacking forces were stunned by the strength of the defensive array and struggled to penetrate it.

However, the Zhang Clan knew that the protective shield would not hold out for long, and they began to prepare a counterattack.

The Zhang Clan wasted no time in alerting Zhang Fei of the sudden attack by their enemies.

They utilized a secret exit that led them to the Celestial Dragon Sect's branch in a nearby city, from where they sent a message to Zhang Fei.

Upon receiving the message, Zhang Fei sprang into action and hurriedly made his way to his hometown to defend his clan.
