Chapter 1368: Only One Family Can Remain Between the Bai and Huang Families

"Brother Jiang Wu, can you locate the Heart‑Extinguishing Ghost King?" Luo Qing pressed down his inner rage, staring at Jiang Wu.

The firelight illuminated his face, revealing nothing, yet deep within his eyes a spark of anger lingered; the glow seemed like flames, but in truth he was straining to suppress his fury, trying as hard as possible not to erupt, and not to let Luo Qing notice.

Jiang Wu shook his head: "I can't find any trace of the Heart‑Extinguishing Ghost King either, senior brother, but I can guess where he's hiding; once we get close to that area, the junior brother will naturally be able to locate him. The Heart‑Extinguishing Ghost King is scheming to harvest the battlefield's flesh and resentment."

"Based on my conjecture, he's definitely concealed in an inconspicuous corner, a low‑lying part of the battlefield, and that spot also gathers a great amount of resentment and ghostly qi."

"He will certainly appear, stealing the corpses on the battlefield; once we reach that place and wait patiently for a few days, we can expect him to emerge."

"Junior brother Luo Qing, what do you think?"

Luo Qing squinted, pondered briefly, and nodded earnestly: "Alright, senior brother Jiang Wu, we'll proceed as you said—first locate the Heart‑Extinguishing Ghost King, then find the members of the Dragon‑herding family. Since they've arrived, they must not leave."

Jiang Wu nodded: "Then let our cooperation be pleasant."

The two extended their hands and clasped, and at that moment they sealed their alliance.

In the center of the battlefield, the fighting raged nonstop.

Members of the Huang Family and the Bai Family kept dying and falling; after those people died, the victors would leave the site or seek a place to recover, but before they could begin recuperating, they would be ambushed and assassinated.

Anything could happen on the battlefield; this war fought from day into night and back again, with death possible at any moment, danger everywhere, so one must stay vigilant at all times upon entering.

On the opposite side of the battlefield, within the Huang Family's territory, Huang Yan clasped his hands and watched the distant fighting. Beside him stood Huang Wufeng and Huang Wuheng, with Chen Qinglian and Qi Haoyang behind them; several people gathered together, and behind them were a number of senior Huang Family officials, all of whom were pillars of the Huang Family.

They stared at the distant battlefield, where their clan members had already joined the fight; the war's outbreak had claimed many lives, and at this point, they would not cease until death.

"Family Head, the Bai Family has deployed another batch of troops; it seems they have no intention of stopping."

"Many outsiders have arrived; the commotion our Huang Family has caused this time is too great. Tian Du Men has also sent people to inquire, and it's clear they wish to halt the situation's further escalation."

"If we retreat, the Bai Family will surely give relentless pursuit and advance swiftly."

Huang Wufeng explained the current situation; these past days he has been watching and controlling the overall picture.

A day ago, Huang Yan and his group arrived and began monitoring the battlefield, ready to enter at any moment to slay the Bai Family's people. At this stage, it no longer mattered; anyone capable of entering the battlefield would do so.

Regardless of casualties, many mid‑ and high‑level members have died these days. Huang Yan nodded: "Second Grandfather, thank you for your hard work; you may still have to keep working. The few Bai Family elders have not yet entered; once they join the battlefield, you will go in as well."

"Focus on killing the Bai Family elders; they are the ones who hold power, and they must not be spared."

Huang Wufeng nodded: "No problem, Family Head, rest assured; I will see to it."

Those Bai Family elders are old rivals, well‑known to each other, and naturally wish to kill one another.

In this battle, neither side can turn back; only by killing the opponent can they seize the initiative.

As for members of other families who have joined the fight, as well as the strong ones from Tian Du Men and the Corpse Refining Sect, they are beyond our handling; let those factions continue their own struggles, the Huang Family only needs to keep an eye on the Bai Family's people.

This is their war: a clan war involves clan members, a sect war involves sect members; that's the rule.

Of course, the rule is not always obeyed; if events turn unexpected, those people will still act against them.

Huang Yan and his group understand this; they cannot assume that members of those sects pose no threat—in fact, those individuals are the most dangerous.

"Third Grandfather, you should work a bit harder, watching the people of other forces, just in case."

Huang Wuheng solemnly nodded: "Family Head, rest assured, I have been watching them all along."

"According to our observations, Tian Du Men sent Saint Jiang Wu, the Dust Accumulation Sect sent Saint Luo Qing, and the Corpse Refining Sect likely sent the Heart‑Extinguishing Ghost King. Behind the Bai Family's second elder and Guixin Elder is probably the Heart‑Extinguishing Ghost King; we still cannot locate his trace."

"Saint Jiang Wu and Saint Luo Qing are also searching for his whereabouts; they should find him soon, and when that happens, a battle between them is certain to erupt."

Hearing this, Huang Yan ordered: "Third Grandfather, you must instruct the clan members: once they spot a fight, leave immediately without hesitation; no matter who the enemy is, do not approach, lest they die in vain."

Huang Wuheng nodded seriously: "I understand; I have already instructed them."

Those Huang Family members who approach a Strong One's battlefield die in an instant.

Swords and blades are blind, and divine abilities are even more blind, uncontrolled; moreover, once such Strong Ones clash, they care not for others' deaths.

In a Strong One's eyes, the weak are mere ants, even sects like Tian Du Men are no different.

An ant's life is worthless.

"That will be all; be sure to kill those Bai Family elders and push forward until the Bai Family is eradicated." Huang Yan said coldly: "The Bai Family can no longer remain; if they seek to swallow our Huang Family, then between the Huang and Bai families, only one can survive."

The surviving clan will inevitably be the Huang Family; Huang Yan holds an unwavering resolve to win this war.

He does not worry about the Bai Family, nor about those sect members.

The sects' contest requires no contemplation from him; Tian Du Men will not retreat, nor will the Dust Accumulation Sect. Two sects confronting a Corpse Refining Sect will not affect the Huang and Bai families. The Bai Family continuously pours in troops with a single goal: to eliminate the Huang Family swiftly, taking advantage before Tian Du Men and other sects can react, having settled everything.

The same reasoning applies to Huang Yan.

"I understand." Huang Wuheng naturally grasped Huang Yan's intent and knew this was a battle that could annihilate a clan, so carelessness was unacceptable.

If they lose, it would be a clan‑annihilating disaster.

No negligence can be tolerated.

They all went about their tasks, leaving three people standing still; Huang Yan turned back and said: "Senior brothers, do not enter the battlefield. Stay by the junior brother's side; the battlefield is too dangerous. When it's time for you to act, set off immediately, no need to ask the junior brother."
