In the Leng Family mansion, powerful warriors were gathered in a hall to deliberate about the prices they could offer to satisfy the group of six.
All Leng Family powerful warriors came. Even the two on the verge of passing away who were staying in their ancestral land were invited over. The number of Semi-God Realm warriors reached six and that of the Earth Immortal Realm warriors reached 10. They, here, represented the strongest force of the Leng Family.
“Who on earth is Lu Li?”
A dying progenitor warrior of the Leng Family suddenly voiced his confusion, “Why the hell did you anger a person like this? Tianhen, is this how you act as a king?”
The progenitor warrior had retired from society years ago. He had been cultivating in their ancestral land. He left in a hurry when he learned that something huge had happened to the family, but he did not know about the details.
Leng Tianhen felt embarrassed and said with shame, “Lu Li says he is the protégée of the Blood Emperor. He is 18 or 19 and at the Noble Lord Realm. He has mastered several strong skill. In the Prison of Gold, he and a certain disciple were in a conflict. He pursued that disciple to the City of Leng. After he came, I asked Wushang to treat him nicely and they buried the hatchet. Then, Lu Li went to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God with Wushang. We didn’t expect him killing Leng Wushang and the others… Progenitor, that disciple that started all this is now grounded.”
“Hmm!”
Leng Family progenitor warrior sneered. Leng Xing added, “Uncle Thirteen, now is not the time to point fingers. We need to think about how to deal with the situation as it is.”
“Whoosh~”
From outside came a person. Patriarch of the Hall of Scouts rushed in. He bowed and reported, “I have just been notified. Powerful warriors of the six families are on the move. They are flying to the City of Leng. I don’t think they are coming with goodwill!”
“What~”
Powerful warriors of the Leng Family stood up, displaying killing intent. Many were bellowing in anger, claiming that they should fight at the cost of their lives, stating that they must kill half of the group of six even if it meant all the powerful warriors of the Leng Family would lose their lives.
Leng Xing didn’t lose his sense. He asked Leng Tianhen, “Were the disciples and Mystical Materials relocated?”
Leng Tianhen thought about it and said, “Almost all the disciples and most of the Mystical Materials.”
“Close the tunnel!”
Leng Xing said with resolution, “Tell those in the ancestral land to destroy the tunnel as soon as I send the signal. Tell the disciples to cultivate and grow there. Tianhen, you go as well. I will let you handle everything there. Act as decreed by our ancestral laws.”
“Father!”
Leng Tianhen cried out involuntarily. He knew that this farewell might be the last farewell. He would stay in the ancestral land forever until he died in depression. All the future generations would be stuck in the ancestral ground. The family could only return to the Central Imperial Universe when the number of powerful warriors had reached a certain extent.
“This is an order. Do it now!”
Leng Xing shouted. Then, glancing over the dozens in the hall, he continued, “Leng Family warriors are never fearful of death and the pride of Leng Family allows for no challenge. Today, the group of six seeks to wipe out our Leng Family. What should we do?”
“Blood must atone for blood. Charge, charge, charge!”
Many yelled and none hid the anger and killing intent in their hearts. Their voices resounded through the Leng Family mansion. Many Noble Lord Realm and Human Sovereign Realm warriors outside heard and chanted along, “Blood must atone for blood. Charge, charge, charge!”
“Move!”
Leng Xing shouted and flew out with five Semi-God Realm warriors. They stood above the north of the city. Following them were Earth Immortal Realm warriors and then countless Human Sovereign Realm warriors along with a large number of Noble Lord Realm warriors.
Leng Family didn’t leave a large army present, only more than one hundred thousand warriors. Young warriors had all been relocated to the ancestral land. The over one hundred thousand warriors stood in an orderly array above the city, waiting for the coming of the last war, waiting… for their lives to blossom for one last time.
Civilians of the city had been relocate, but some were reluctant to go. They had lived in the City of Leng for many years. They didn’t want to leave. Some were too old to leave. The city carried their memories and feelings. Their lives were tied together with the City of Leng.
“Alas…”
Leng Tianhen stood in the Leng Family mansion with his fists in a tight grip. Vines were popping out from his face. In his eyes were remorse and regret. He hated Leng Wuxue for offending Lu Li, hated himself for not treating Lu Li nicer when he was here, and for letting Lu Li go to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God…
What was done could not be undone. Overthinking was meaningless at the moment. Leng Tianhen waved his hand and went to a castle in the backyard with several others. They went to the ancestral land through a teleportation formation.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
The time for three incense sticks to burn passed since Leng Tianhen left. From the north came some noises. Over one hundred warriors came like dragons. In a blink of an eye, Leng Xing could already see them.
The one hundred thousand warriors of the Leng Family stood in silence. Nobody made a sound. They gazed into the one hundred in front of them with strong killing intent.
When they were two miles away, Leng Xing said, “Really? Is this absolutely necessary?”
Jun Hongye waved them to a stop. With a sigh, he said, “Leng Xing, don’t blame me. It is your family that have displeased the wrong kind. Lu Li is a person… you cannot afford to provoke. I am sorry!”
A good reason for waging a war.
The group of six paid attention to the influence. Since their original pretext was Lu Li, they must continue to use him as the excuse for initiating a war.
Negotiation was moot at the point. Lu Li had made it clear that he wanted the Leng Family gone. Then war was inevitable. At least, the armors, weapons, and treasures those Leng Family warriors had could be worth something.
“Lu Li?”
Leng Xing and his warriors were still confused. He asked coldly, “Who the hell is Lu Li exactly?”
Scouts of the other families of the Central Imperial Universe lurking nearby shared Leng Family’s question. They had never heard of Lu Li. He came out from nowhere. They only knew that he was the protégé of the Blood Emperor who did not have the power to mobilize six families yet.
“You don’t have the right to know!”
Yun Hongye responded indifferently. He was only using Lu Li as the excuse and had no desire to waste more time. He waved his hand and said, “Now, kill all of the Leng Family. Hao Changjun, stick to the plan.”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”
They took out their Quasi Relic armors and some were equipped with Quasi Relic weapons. They split up and dashed toward the Leng Family army like arrows.
“Buzzing~”
Hao Changjun suddenly vanished into thin air. He used Profound Meaning related to space. According to their plan, he should be on his way to the entrance of the Leng Family’s ancestral land.
Each major family had their ancestral land. Jun Hongye knew very well that there weren’t many Mystical Materials or treasures at the Leng Family mansion. The more valuable stuff should have been relocated to the ancestral land. Only by conquering there could they stand to gain greatly.
“Hmm!”
Looking at Hao Changjun vanishing in midair, Leng Xing immediately realized the plan. He poured out Xuan Energy and blasted the castle that housed the Teleportation Formation to the ancestral land. The passageway was cut off.
“You bastard~”
Hao Changjun re-emerged in midair and yelled in indignation, “Leng Xing, if it is death you want, I will grant your wish. Charge!”
“Boom, boom, boom~”
Sounds of explosion were heard everywhere. Xuan Energy dashed here and there. Mountains split and grounds cracked. Sky trembled and the earth shook. Blood spilled and limbs flew around. The City of Leng was destined to be tainted with blood today.
