In the sky above the Zhao Family Manor, an expert flew over. His aura was powerful, and his cultivation had reached the fifth level of Yuan Lineage Realm!
Zhao Tianlong's eyes narrowed slightly as he cupped his fists towards the sky and said in a clear voice, "I didn't know that the First Head of Black Wind Ridge would be coming. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you!"
Inside the room, Zhao Rui sensed something. His figure flashed, and he appeared outside the room. When he saw the First Head of Black Wind Ridge, Hou Tie, arrive, he immediately rejoiced in his heart.
Zhao Rui was just about to look for Hou Tie to discuss the matter of joining forces when Hou Tie came over. It seemed that Blackwind Ridge also had the intention of joining forces.
"Young Master Zhao, you're too polite. I've come uninvited. Sorry for being rude."
Hou Tie smiled as he landed on the ground and retracted his aura.
Zhao Rui was overjoyed and invited Hou Tie to his room to discuss the details.
Seeing this, Zhao Tianlong took to the air and headed straight for the Ye Family in Liangchuan City.
…
Time flowed by. Ten days later, Zhao Tianlong returned with a mysterious old man in black robes following beside him. The old man's aura was restrained, making it impossible to tell his cultivation level. There was an unfathomable feeling about him.
Zhao Tianlong was in high spirits. This time, he went to the Ye Clan and invited the Ye Clan's Outer Clan Elder, Ye Hoodlum. With Ye Hoodlum holding the fort, exterminating the Chu Clan would not be a problem.
On the other hand, Zhao Rui and Hou Tie had already made progress in their discussion of the alliance.
As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. The Zhao Clan and the Black Wind Ridge had a common enemy, so it was easy for them to join forces and fight against the Chu Clan together.
As for the distribution of benefits after the matter was settled, Zhao Rui and Hou Tie had already discussed it. After the matter was settled, Heaven's Wall City would be under the jurisdiction of the Zhao Clan, and outside of Heaven's Wall City would still be within the sphere of influence of the Black Wind Ridge.
In addition, after the matter was settled, they could divide the cultivation resources of the Chu clan. The Zhao clan would only take twenty percent, and the rest would be given to the Black Wind Ridge.
This deal was considered fair to Black Wind Ridge. Both sides reached an agreement. When the time was right, they would launch a large-scale invasion.
…
In the Chu Clan Residence, everything was calm and peaceful. Ye Qing had stabilized his cultivation and solidified his foundation, reaching the peak of the third layer of Yuan Vein.
Moreover, during this period of time, under Ye Qing's guidance, many of the Chu clan's youths had broken through to the next realm, perfecting their cultivation techniques and martial skills, and their strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
Recently, Chu Renjie had sensed a trace of danger. In the past, the Third Master of the Black Wind Ridge and forty elite bandits had died in the Chu Clan, but the Black Wind Ridge had not come to take revenge. Obviously, they were enduring silently!
Before the storm, it was usually calmer. Chu Renjie was an ambitious and ruthless character. Of course, he had guessed that the Zhao Clan might have joined forces with the Black Wind Ridge.
However, Chu Renjie did not mind. His greatest reliance was Ye Qing.
He believed that as long as Ye Qing was there, the Chu clan would be fine.
The peaceful days lasted for three days. Three days later, a storm finally arrived!
More than twenty thousand bandits from the Black Wind Ridge had joined forces with the experts from the Zhao Family and caused a huge commotion in the Heaven's Wall City. The target of the commotion was the Chu Family!
The entire Heaven's Wall City was in chaos. Many of the natives had gone into hiding, fearing that they would be affected by the war.
Over the years, the Zhao Family and the Chu Family often clashed in the Heaven's Wall City, but they were all small-scale conflicts and did not evolve into a war between the two families.
Now, the two families were fighting to determine the true overlord of the Heaven's Wall City. It was definitely a situation where one side would not rest until the other was dead.
In terms of family background, the Zhao Family was better. However, the Chu Family was not bad either. They were all first-rate families below the seven noble families. If they really fought, the outcome would be hard to predict.
Of course, with the addition of the Black Wind Ridge, the scales of victory were tilted towards the Zhao Family.
The Zhao Family and the Black Wind Ridge had joined forces and were aggressive. The army covered the sky and covered the earth.
The Chu Family was in a state of panic. Some of the guest elders saw that the situation was not right and immediately chose to flee.
In principle, the guest elders were considered outsiders. They were not part of the Chu Family. In the blink of an eye, the guest hall managed by Ye Qing was only left with three guest elders. The other guest elders had all fled.
Ye Qing expressed that it did not matter. After his training, many of the Chu Family's geniuses had grown up and their strength had increased by leaps and bounds. Many of the Chu Family's external elders and internal elders had received Ye Qing's guidance and their strength had increased greatly.
The current Chu Family was no longer the same as before. Its strength was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
If not for the troublemaker Black Wind Ridge, the Chu Family could have easily defeated the Zhao Family.
With the Black Wind Ridge's interference, Ye Qing was still very calm. There was not a trace of panic on his face.
Outside the Chu Family residence, a defensive line had already been set up. Chu Renjie led many of the Yuan Vein elders, waiting for the Zhao Family and the Black Wind Ridge's army to arrive.
Ye Qing stood in the crowd with his hands behind his back. His face was calm and composed.
He had already stayed in Heaven's Wall City for some time. When the battle between the Chu Family and the Zhao Family ended, he was ready to leave.
After all, his goal was to go to the Ye Family in Liangchuan City and seek revenge on his old enemy, Ye Sha. Heaven's Wall City was only a temporary stop.
Originally, Ye Qing did not want to get involved in the battle between the Chu Family and the Zhao Family. However, Chu Renjie was loyal and had always been good to Ye Qing. There was also that little girl, Chu Mengyao. Since she had taken Ye Qing as her master, Ye Qing could not ignore her.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
In the distance, thousands of Yuan Vein practitioners flew over with great momentum. It was the army of the Zhao Family and the Black Wind Ridge.
On the ground, there were also many Connate practitioners. There were close to a hundred thousand of them.
"Chu Renjie, the end of your Chu Family has arrived. If you surrender now, we might let you live!"
Among the crowd, the Zhao Family's patriarch, Zhao Rui, flew over with a sinister smile on his face.
Beside Zhao Rui were various elders of the Zhao Family. Among them was a familiar face. It was the Zhao Family's seventh elder, Zhao Gou.
"Patriarch, is that kid Li Xunhuan, who has been rumored to be a god recently?"
Zhao Gou's face was full of suspicion. He had not been in Heaven's Wall City for some time. He had only returned to the Zhao Family after receiving Zhao Rui's summons.
Therefore, this was his first time seeing Li Xunhuan.
"Yes, he is Li Xunhuan!"
"Hmm?
Why does this kid look so similar to the Northern Desert's Ye Qing? "
Suddenly, Zhao Gou's eyes narrowed. He had heard many rumors about Li Xunhuan recently, but he had never seen Li Xunhuan's face. Now that he saw Li Xunhuan face to face, he immediately recognized him!
What Li Xunhuan? He was obviously the Northern Desert's amazing genius, Ye Qing!
The one who had forced Xian Ling 'er, the reincarnation of the Vermilion Bird, to retreat and killed Cang Xuanyu, the reincarnation of the Great Sage!
"Ye Qing, so you are Li Xunhuan!"
Zhao Gou stepped forward and stared coldly at Ye Qing, emitting traces of killing intent.
"Old Seven, what are you talking about?" Zhao Family's patriarch, Zhao Rui, asked suspiciously.
"Patriarch, do you remember the Northern Desert's genius I told you about?
Li Xunhuan is the Northern Desert's genius. His real name is Ye Qing! "
"So it's him, the one who killed Cang Xuanyu!"
Zhao Rui's heart trembled. He had heard Zhao Gou mention Ye Qing before. He was a heaven's pride that had killed the reincarnation of the Great Sage!
"So what if he killed Cang Xuanyu, the reincarnation of the Great Sage?
I don't care if he is Li Xunhuan or Ye Qing. Since he killed my brother, he must die! "
A cold voice came from the crowd. The Zhao Family's young genius, Zhao Tianlong, stepped forward, releasing an extremely strong killing intent.
"I, Zhao Tianlong, have returned from hell to take your life!"
Zhao Tianlong roared to the sky, releasing his aura. His cultivation had reached the fifth level of Yuan Meridian realm, not weaker than the Zhao Family's patriarch, Zhao Rui!
The morale of the Zhao Family's army was greatly boosted. Countless people cheered. The Zhao Family's number one genius, Zhao Tianlong, had returned. His cultivation had reached the fifth level of Yuan Meridian realm, standing shoulder to shoulder with the patriarch. With such strength, the Zhao Family would definitely win!
Just as the morale of the Zhao Family's army was greatly boosted, Ye Qing stepped forward. His words made the Zhao Family's warriors twitch their mouths …
