Chapter 353

Carving ancient divine jade is not something that can be done with ordinary tools, but fortunately, the Chi Mei Sword is also an ancient dharma sword, which is just right for the task.

However, even so, it was a very time-consuming task.

The carving lasted for a full day and night. After completion, he corrected it with the calculations of the "Xuanhuang Heavenly Hexagram," consecrated it with his own essence blood, and finally nurtured it with his cultivation, waiting only for a period of time to inject spiritual energy and feed it back to himself, which would save at least half of his cultivation time in the future.

Originally, he had only casually observed a few boys and girls in the family, but he didn't expect such a harvest, which made Heng Xian feel deeply emotional!

While he was carving the jade pendant, HengWuQue and Heng Xun'er in the courtyard outside were practicing, meditating, and training under A Gou's arrangement.

For Young Master Xian's arrangements, the two were moved to tears; from now on, regardless of what others said, they would be Young Master Xian's most loyal followers!

"Hasn't Young Master Xian come out yet?"

Just then, a series of hurried and slightly chaotic footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

Vaguely, a group of people were rushing over.

A Gou, who was leaning against the wall supervising the servants cleaning the courtyard, shuddered and hurriedly went out to greet them.

HengWuQue, who was practicing punches not far away, and Heng Xun'er, who was observing the water ripples of the lotus flowers in the pond, hurriedly braced themselves and stood cautiously beside the servants.

At this moment, a large group of people appeared at the courtyard entrance, led by the City Lord and Family Head Heng Xiu, the eldest uncle Heng Wei, the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and other key figures of the Heng family.

The group looked somewhat anxious, especially the eldest uncle Heng Wei, whose face was covered in cold sweat.

"The Young Master seems to be in seclusion!" A Gou bowed cautiously.

"Seclusion? Seclusion at a time like this?"

Heng Xiu, his son, and the group of elders were all anxious.

Just then, they felt a blur before their eyes, and Heng Xian suddenly appeared in front, smiling and asking: "Something happened?"

"Something big happened!" Uncle Heng Wei wiped his sweat.

Heng Xian waved his hand, ordering the servants to bring chairs, and said: "I guess the three cities of Huai Shui and Shouyang City in the west, and the three cities of Jiangxin and Heishui City in the north have all attacked together!"

Old Master Heng Xiu and the group looked at each other and said: "You guessed right!"

By this time, the servants had brought the stools, and the group sat down on the spot. Heng Xian said: "Tell me the details!"

Heng Wei sighed: "You guessed right indeed! The ambition of the surrounding cities is far greater than we imagined. Your sister-in-law, bah, that stinking girl Liu Xihong, I don't know what she said to the Liu family when she went back, but the Liu family head was furious and incited the families of Shouyang City to attack our Donglan City together!

Shouyang City was originally the strongest among the four western cities, and as a result, with one call, the three cities of Huai Shui followed suit!

And the Xu family of Heishui City in the north has always been arrogant. We married into their family because we valued their thousand-year-old status, but who knew the Xu family never gave up on their plans for us!

As soon as your letter was delivered, the Heishui Xu family immediately turned against us and raised an army to attack, and the three cities of Jiangxin followed suit. Sigh! Nephew, you say you..."

He didn't finish saying "you say you," but the meaning was self-evident: everything was fine, why did you have to provoke them?

Old Master Heng Xiu coughed and said: "This cannot be blamed on Xian'er. For hundreds of years, the dozens of cities nearby have maintained a situation where 'the City Lord's family is slightly stronger, and other major families stand in balance.' This is also allowed by the Chu imperial family!

Now, only Donglan City has our Heng family as the sole dominant power, and families like the Sun family have been excluded, with no power to resist!

If this continues, within a hundred years, our Heng family will inevitably dominate the dozens of surrounding cities and become a regional hegemon. This is something other cities and families do not want to see. Even without Xian'er's pushing, they would have attacked sooner or later!"

A group of elders nodded and said: "Exactly! In the end, our Heng family's foundation is too weak, and others can't stand it. This is the fundamental reason, not something that can be changed by marriage or friendship!"

"Then..." Heng Wei looked at Heng Xian.

Heng Xian drank his tea to himself, still not speaking.

Heng Wei pondered for a moment and said in a heavy tone: "The disciples of the Wangfeng Hall just sent news that the four western cities and four northern cities have dispatched a total of 100,000 people, while we can mobilize at most 10,000. I'm afraid it will be a fierce and bitter battle. Nephew, you still have to command us, how should we fight... to win?"

This was the point!

In the entire courtyard, everyone looked at Heng Xian.

Heng Xian finally spoke: "No need for command, and there will be no fierce battle!"

"How so?" Old Master Heng Xiu, Heng Wei, and the group of elders were stunned.

Heng Xian put down his teacup and said slowly: "100,000 people, that's all. I alone am enough!"

100,000 people, that's all!

I alone am enough!

This was not just arrogance; this was simply destroying people's beliefs!

The entire courtyard was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

HengWuQue and Heng Xun'er, standing beside the servants not far away, stared blankly at the calm and composed Young Master Xian, who treated 100,000 cultivators as nothing, their bodies trembling violently!

Eighty miles west of Donglan City.

Banners covered the sky and the sun, and spirit beasts and exotic beasts were densely packed.

Four major cities and over a dozen major families, totaling 60,000 to 70,000 people, lined up in neat and distinct formations, moving forward slowly.

Every step forward produced a chilling boom.

Liu family head Liu Zhentian was white-haired and decrepit, but his eyes emitted a chilling light that made people afraid. At this time, riding a double-horned falcon beast, he said indifferently: "How many cultivators does the Heng family have?"

Beside him, his illegitimate son Liu Kai, with a square face and scruffy beard, who was one of the top three experts in the Liu family and also the father of Liu Xihong and her brother, cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to Father, after the nine families destroyed the Heng family, the entire Heng family has fewer than 6,000 people. Even including the recruited rogue cultivators, the manpower they can mobilize is less than 10,000!"

"I heard the four northern cities have also dispatched troops!" Liu Zhentian stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes and said: "Then what does the Heng family rely on to resist this army of 100,000? Could it be that yellow-haired kid named Heng Xian?"

Liu Kai nodded: "Presumably so! I specifically sent people to investigate this person's reality, but unfortunately, the Tianyuan Sect is too far from us, and those major sect disciples are too arrogant to be investigated. And Donglan City has been under martial law these days; even if spies mixed in, they couldn't find that Heng Xian!"

Liu Zhentian glanced at Liu Xihong, who had a complex expression in the crowd: "Girl, you've seen that Heng Xian, what do you say?"

"Ah?" Liu Xihong was in a daze and was startled when she heard this, because she hadn't paid attention and hadn't even thought about what cultivation level Heng Xian had, only knowing that he could suppress everyone to the ground in the "Juxian Elegant Pavilion" with his aura. She said: "Grand, granddaughter doesn't know, maybe he is far beyond the Condensing Qi Realm!"

Liu Zhentian thought for a moment: "This kid was First-Tier Qi Hai six years ago. Even if he is truly heaven-defying, improving one realm every year or two, he is now at most Fourth or Fifth-Tier Qi Hai!

And major sects not interfering in family disputes is a conventional rule. Without the Tianyuan Sect, what can he rely on alone? Besides, isn't that kid Liu Wudu arriving soon?"

Liu Kai looked at the sky and replied: "According to the time, he should be here soon!"

Liu Zhentian looked around and laughed: "Attack and destroy Donglan City, kill all the key members of the Heng family, support that kid Heng Ruze as a puppet, and our Liu family will dominate Donglan City!"

"Family Head is mighty!"

Hundreds of people around shouted in unison.

Attracting other cities and families to look over.

The other dozen major families of the four cities also secretly discussed how to distribute the resources after taking Donglan City...
