The reason the Tie Family could become the dominant force in Tongzhou was primarily that it was helmed by the invincible Tie Wudi.
Now, with Tie Wudi having been slain by Li Chen on Jiangxin Island, the family without him at the helm is completely scattered, instantly falling apart.
As the old saying goes, when the wall falls, everyone is ready to push.
With Tie Wudi dead, those smaller forces that depended on the Tie Family have all turned their backs. Not joining to kick them while they're down is already quite conscientious.
Seeing the Tie Family's collapse, major clans in Tongzhou, seeing the leader's position vacant, are rubbing their hands in readiness to fill the void.
However, what they didn't expect was that a Wang Tianxiong would emerge unexpectedly. Under Li Chen's covert support, with forceful methods, he seized seventy percent of the Tie Family's territory, vaguely assuming the air of Tongzhou's next dominant ruler.
