Chapter 1369: The Bai Family Mobilizes All Its Forces

Chen Qinglian spoke slowly: "Junior brother, you're overthinking it; I and my elder brother never even considered fighting. We're just here to watch the show, and incidentally to learn a bit."

That's all; they didn't want to stir up trouble for no reason, nor did they want to make themselves unhappy.

Enter the battlefield? Too dangerous; neither of them is stupid—one glance tells you the battlefield is perilous. Even if they went in, they'd fall into danger. They don't want to become cannon fodder, nor do they want to draw attention from others; if they can avoid fighting, they will avoid it as much as possible.

They came here mainly to observe and learn, to see what the Tianwai family battles are like, to see how they fight. After watching, they realized it was not what they expected—it was just like the battles in that world.

There's no difference, or rather, the fights between families are chaotic, lacking much coordination; even if there is some, it's not strong. These naturally fail to catch their attention, especially Qi Haoyang, who excels at formation combat and especially at directing soldiers in battle. Compared to soldiers' discipline, those family cultivators are far inferior.

Those without training or experience cannot understand this. Qi Haoyang had an idea: if the people of the Great Qi Dynasty were cultivated, they could also secure a place in Tianwai.

"I don't know how long it will take for Mother and Father to arrive in Tianwai. If they could train a batch of soldiers to enter Tianwai, there would be great potential here in Cangzhou." Qi Haoyang's heart burned hot; these families are strong individually, but they lack coordination with each other.

Each looks out for themselves, of course—this also has its advantages, but it cannot compare to well-organized soldiers clashing; a single charge breaks them.

Unless there is a huge disparity in strength, that's another matter.

The strong are naturally solitary; they won't join forces with others, nor can they advance and retreat together—trying to command them is as hard as climbing to heaven.

"Huh?" Huang Yan blinked, looking at the two in confusion, gave a bitter smile: "Senior Brother Qinglian, you're joking, right? You didn't come out to train? Without experiencing battle, without experiencing death, how can that count as training?"

"Fighting the Bai Family—such an opportunity is rare; even I, as your junior brother, have never encountered it before. Once missed, it's unlikely to happen again."

"If you're not going to fight, what are you doing on the battlefield? Surely you're not just here to watch the show?"

Chen Qinglian nodded with a smile: "Exactly, junior brother, you're right—I and my elder brother are here just to watch the show. As for you, there's no need to test us; if you're in danger, junior brother, I will definitely step in. As for others, I and my elder brother won't readily intervene."

"That battlefield is very dangerous—more dangerous than you imagine, junior brother. I can sense that danger; the invisible threat keeps growing. You'd best not set foot on that battlefield."

Finally, Chen Qinglian gave a reminder.

Huang Yan took those words to heart; others might suspect him of being cowardly or fearful, but these two senior brothers' intuition is remarkably accurate—it has never been wrong.

Huang Yan lowered his voice and asked secretly: "Senior Brother Qinglian, did you see something?"

Chen Qinglian smiled, said nothing, and continued staring at the battlefield.

Qi Haoyang also remained silent; he had given all the reminders he could—now it's up to you to decide.

Huang Yan stared at the battlefield, trying to discern some clues; after watching for half an hour, he saw nothing.

Helpless, he could only give up.

"Senior Brother Haoyang, do you have anything to say to your junior brother?"

Qi Haoyang turned his gaze and said: "Junior Brother Huang Yan, heed advice and you can survive."

Any more words are unnecessary.

Huang Yan instantly sobered, stepped back two paces, fixed his gaze on the distant battlefield—at that moment, a chill ran down his spine.

"Gurgle."

Both senior brothers said that, so that place must be dangerous.

Moreover, it's not ordinary danger—it's great danger.

"No, my people cannot enter the battlefield; otherwise, they would likely..."

Thinking this, Huang Yan immediately left to find his second and third grandfathers; those two are precious to him and must not come to harm.

Over at the Bai Family side.

Ghost Heart Second Elder and the Grand Elder stood outside the battlefield; the Bai Family's elders also came, all arriving to lend aid—this war cannot be lost, for the Bai Family cannot bear the consequences of defeat.

"Elders, this battle concerns our Bai Family's millennium plan; if victorious, we will be the Bai Family's meritorious officials, remembered by the Bai Family in the future."

"Have you all made ready?"

Ghost Heart Second Elder shouted loudly, speaking to the elders around him, stirring their emotions.

The family's honor rests entirely on them, all in a single thought.

"Ready."

"We can act at any moment."

"We have waited many years for this war."

"Grand Elder, Second Elder, give the order."

Ghost Heart Second Elder was satisfied with the elders' attitude; they had been holding back and also wanted to act.

This is the most fitting moment, and also the time for them to achieve merit for the family; they cannot delay.

Ghost Mire Grand Elder raised his right hand, his aura surging, and declared: "Elders, for the Bai Family's honor, for the Bai Family's future, fight!"

"Fight."

"Fight."

"Fight."

The elders all shouted loudly, stirring the emotions of the clansmen behind them; at this moment they were as if injected with chicken blood, each one frenzied.

Ghost Mire Grand Elder was pleased with the elders' and clansmen's reactions; he coughed once and said: "In this war, our Bai Family permits only success, not failure."

"Bai Family's heroes, go forth."

As his order fell, the clansmen behind him rushed into the battlefield one after another; only then did it become the elders' turn.

They entered the battlefield in succession; the battlefield is vast, and they quickly began to spread out according to the prior arrangement.

They sought out the Huang Family's people, aiming to overwhelm few with many, swiftly killing a batch; this would create a manpower shortage for the Huang Family—this is the result they wanted.

The Grand Elder and Second Elder remained stationed in the rear, not entering the battlefield.

Ghost Mire Grand Elder's gaze turned chilly as he fixed on the battlefield's shroud of deathly qi and resentment, plus the thick smell of blood; inside this battlefield, wild beasts and demonic beasts have long been gone—only corpses litter the ground, and blood stains everywhere.

The clansmen kept dying, continually burying themselves here; whether Huang Family or Bai Family, they paid a huge price.

This war cannot stop; once halted, they would incur losses.

"Grand Elder, don't worry—this is the path they have chosen."

Ghost Heart Second Elder noticed that Ghost Mire Grand Elder's mood was off, and spoke to comfort him: "For the family, their sacrifice is worthwhile."

"As long as the Huang Family falls, our sacrifice is worthwhile."
