Any fight for power would never rely on words. It would rely on fists and strength.
Both sides had their own interests to pursue. Neither side could convince the other. In the end, they had to resort to fighting. Winner takes all. Whoever won would represent justice.
Mu Wanqing was no longer the young lady who knew nothing. She had been through many things over the years and had seen through many things. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Lu Li for help at the cost of her own life on the battlefield.
Only with absolute strength could one have the right to speak. This was an unchanging truth.
Mu Wanqing didn't want to waste more time. If they didn't want to fight, then fight. If not, then talk.
"Whoosh ~"
Uncle Ru and Lu Li flew up as well. This time, Lu Li had attracted a lot of attention. Nobody had paid attention to him before.
Some were surprised. What was a warrior at the peak of the second tribulation doing?
Could he be of any help?
Even if he wanted to wave flags and shout battle cries, he didn't have to go up.
There must be something wrong!
What was more, Lu Li was calm. He didn't panic at all. It was as if he was the master here and everyone else was puny. That was why people had to take him seriously.
Great Patriarch and Chief Patriarch looked at Lu Li. They didn't see anything wrong. Lu Li must be hiding his realm or he was at the peak of the second tribulation.
Since Mu Wanqing had declared war, then there was nothing else to say. Great Patriarch and Chief Patriarch didn't want to step back. They had to fight.
They looked at each other and nodded. They made some eye contact and reached an agreement.
They were going to work together to defeat Mu Wanqing. They would defeat the immediate family first and then they would compete.
"Sis ~"
Reverent King Star was losing patience. Mu Wanqing had brought back a powerful warrior but she was alone. Great Patriarch and Chief Patriarch working together could cause problems.
"Whoosh ~"
He flew up, trying to help. But a patriarch next to him stopped him. That patriarch shook his head and said, "Young Master Xing, don't be impulsive. If you go up there, the family will fall into internal strife."
When the Grand Elder saw what Reverend King Xing was doing, he coldly snorted and said, "Everyone, don't move. Mu Rongen and I will go test it out. If we lose, we won't care about the family anymore."
The Grand Elder's intentions were clear. The people from the Reverent King Planet were not to act recklessly, and they would only send out two people.
If the Reverent King Star and the others made a move, then the other elders of the clan would have no choice but to act as well. At that time, the entire clan would be thrown into chaos, and the situation would become uncontrollable.
The Grand Elder had another layer of meaning. They would not interfere with the matter of the clan's defeat, which meant that they had tacitly approved of the Reverent King Star's ascension.
On the other hand, if they won, then they would be in charge of the clan's affairs in the future, and the Reverent King Star's bloodline would lose all authority.
Although Reverend King Xing was very anxious, he didn't dare act recklessly after hearing the Grand Elder's words.
As the successor of the direct bloodline, he had been raised to prioritize the interests of the family since he was young. He knew very well that if he made a move, the entire Mu family would be consigned to eternal damnation.
"Wang Xing, just watch from the side!"
Mu Wan glanced at the Reverent King Star and proudly said, "Watch as Big Sister cleans up the traitors and sets things right."
"Xiu!"
With that said, Mu Wanqing flew out of the city with Uncle Ru and Lu Li. Naturally, the battle between such powerful warriors could not take place inside the city. Otherwise, the City of Rejoicing Immortal would be reduced to ruins.
"Don't act rashly!"
Chief Patriarch said. He glanced to all the patriarchs and said, "Great Patriarch and I will go and learn from our friends outside. No matter what happens, you must not act rashly.
If I die, you will listen to Wang Xing from now on. "
Great Patriarch and Chief Patriarch had a good sense of the big picture. They didn't want to see the Mu Family descend into chaos. One battle would decide the outcome. If they won, Reverend King Star would lose his chance to ascend. If they lost, everyone in the family would obey Reverend King Star's command. In this way, no matter what happened, the family could survive.
"Whoosh ~"
The two of them flew away and followed Mu Wanqing into the city. After a while, all the patriarchs went after them and so did the other commanders.
As for the warriors, they were not allowed to watch the battle. They had to wait in the city until it was over.
Mu Wanqing and the other two were thirty thousand miles away from the city and stood in a barren mountain.
As soon as Mu Wanqing flew over, she said to Lu Li, "Young Master Lu, later, Uncle Ru and I will fight against Great Patriarch. Please help me deal with Chief Patriarch."
At first, Lu Li thought he would have to deal with a group of patriarchs. Now that he only had to deal with Chief Patriarch, he was relieved. Chief Patriarch was only at the middle stage of the Fourth Tribulation Realm. For Lu Li, this was nothing.
Lu Li nodded and asked, "Do you want him dead or alive?"
Mu Wanqing replied coldly. A glint of coldness rose in her eyes as she said, "If he surrenders, I will spare his life. But if he refuses to come to his senses, then don't show him any mercy."
"Okay!"
Lu Li answered. He admired Mu Wanqing more and more. She was someone special and had the potential to become a heroine of the generation.
At this rate, she might become the second Luo Feiyan.
On the other hand, Lu Li was not optimistic about Reverend King Star. He thought Mu Wanqing was more suitable to be the Family Patriarch of the Mu Family.
"Whoosh ~"
Great Patriarch and Chief Patriarch flew over. The other patriarchs came as well. But they watched from a distance of more than three hundred miles. None of them came over.
They had reached a tacit understanding that nobody would interfere. Only the end of the fight was waiting.
Great Patriarch looked at Uncle Ru with rising fighting spirit. To be able to fight with someone of similar strength was a kind of improvement for him.
Chief Patriarch looked at Mu Wanqing, feeling embarrassed to make a move. After all, he was a senior. To fight a junior would be like bullying, especially when the former Family Patriarch's body was still warm.
"Whoosh!"
Uncle Ru didn't like to talk much. He started the fight right away and dashed toward Great Patriarch.
At the same time, Mu Wanqing moved as well. She rushed toward Great Patriarch in a blur.
"Eh …"
Chief Patriarch was confused. Mu Wanqing and Uncle Ru were going to fight Great Patriarch. Who was he going to fight?
A warrior at the peak of the Second Tribulation Realm?
Was she trying to humiliate him?
In the distance, the patriarchs and commanders were surprised as well. They could not understand why Lu Li was here to fight.
Was he tired of living?
"Hey, old man!"
Lu Li could tell that Chief Patriarch was displeased. He didn't take him seriously at all.
Lu Li raised his eyebrows, looked at Chief Patriarch and said, "Stop looking. I am your opponent. If you can defeat me, I will support you to be the Family Patriarch of the Mu Family. How about that?"
"How dare you!"
Chief Patriarch flew into a rage. He had been in charge of the Mu Family for many years. All the patriarchs of the older generation treated him with respect, let alone the younger generation.
How dare this punk be so arrogant?
"Go to hell!"
Mu Wanqing was the granddaughter of the former Family Patriarch so he had some concerns. But Lu Li was an outsider, yet he showed no mercy. He took out a saber and dashed toward Lu Li in a blur.
Lu Li didn't move. The Distant Heaven Bead glowed and the Phantom King came out.
"Roar ~"
As soon as the Phantom King came out, he howled to the sky. His ferocious qi and energy spread out, making the temperature drop.
"Woo, woo ~"
