Chapter 51

~9 min read 1,691 words

In front of "Weiyuan Hall."

Except for some trembling servants, there were only Heng Xian, Heng Xiu, and Heng Xiaotian.

Heng Xian clutched the pouch and was silent for a long while. The meaning was very complex. Maternal inheritance, why give it to me?

He stuffed it into his pocket and turned to look at Heng Xiu: "Grandfather, how many old, weak, women, and children are left in the family?"

Heng Xiu smiled bitterly: "Seven or eight thousand, most of them are concubines taken by your uncles and the illegitimate sons and daughters they gave birth to!

Not much use, but the expenses are quite high!"

Heng Xian rubbed his brow. What kind of extravagant and ridiculous family is this: "Trouble grandfather to gather them here!"

"Good!" Old Master Heng Xiu completely entered the role of a lackey and walked away with big strides.

Heng Xian glanced at the shadowy figures at the four gates of the family and turned to walk into the hall.

Su Wan'er, A Gou, and Lan Xiang followed closely behind.

Heng Xiaotian scratched his head and followed.

Walking up the wooden stairs from the inside, they reached the fourth floor, which was where the family stored cultivation classics and some strange books.

From here, one could vaguely see the family's four gates and the situation outside.

Heng Xian stood in front of the window and put his hands behind his back.

Open "Profound Yellow Heavenly Hexagram": "How much hope of winning is there?"

Hexagram answer: 【Basically none!】

Heng Xian sighed: "I want to win, is there any way?"

Hexagram answer: 【Break through immediately or have a fate opportunity arrive!

After calculation, the opportunity to break through may come, but the fate opportunity can basically be ruled out!

The Heavenly Hexagram does not recommend gambling with your life. Please leave immediately, do not trap yourself in a dangerous place, do not enter the mortal world, do not have thoughts of love, that is the wise man's way!

This hexagram can list seven perfect escape routes for you!】

"You are a Heavenly Hexagram without feelings! And I am no wise man!

If I run away now, no matter how well I do in this life, I'm afraid I'll be left with a shadow in my heart!"

Heng Xian sighed with emotion.

Having been in this family for so long, if he said he had no feelings, that would be a lie!

Now even if there is danger, he can only be emotional once!

At this time, Heng Xiaotian behind him coughed: "Xian'er, haven't seen you for a few years, how come you've changed like a different person? You've upgraded your bird gun to a cannon, you're really something!"

Heng Xian smiled lightly: "You'd better shut up!"

Heng Xiaotian was stunned: "Why?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to help myself from kicking your ass!"

City Lord's Mansion.

Thousands of disciples were lined up, spears and lances like a forest.

City Lord Ye Baili wore a chain-link spiritual armor, with the Earth-rank medium-grade "Qingcheng Sword" at his waist, his eyes like torches, scanning everyone:

"The Ye Family ancestor, four hundred years ago, was just a peddler selling herbal tea on the street, merely at the third tier of the Postnatal Realm, bullied by everyone.

But he dared to fight, dared to marry a blind and lame young lady from a small family that no one wanted.

From then on, he slowly gained a foothold in Donglan City!

Two hundred and seventy years ago, our Ye Family had only a few hundred people, but three ancestors dared to gamble and kill, colluding with Heng, Xiao, Li, and Sun to exterminate the entire Song family, the then City Lord, and divide their family's resources!

One hundred and twenty years ago, my grandfather forced the then Heng Family City Lord to abdicate, and our Ye Family began to manage Donglan City!

Now our Ye Family has geniuses emerging one after another, and the future is smooth!

But we need more resources, and some decaying and degenerate families deserve to be annexed, and that family is the Heng Family!"

"Kill!" Countless Ye disciples shouted angrily.

"Very good!" Ye Baili drew his long sword, "Set off!"

"Boom..."

Countless Ye disciples mounted their demon beast mounts, gripped their spiritual weapons, and rushed out the door!

The same scene was happening at the moment in the eight major families including Xiao, Li, and Xue.

Especially the Xue Family, as if to take revenge, almost the entire clan poured out.

Soon, dense and murderous disciples of various families appeared in the streets and alleys of Donglan City.

The roars of ferocious demon beasts and the clashing of spiritual weapons were chilling.

They all headed in the same direction—the Heng Family!

The ordinary people and rogue cultivators along the street closed their doors and windows tightly, not daring to breathe.

Everyone understood that the sky of Donglan City was about to collapse.

The great war had truly begun!

It was already dark.

Heng Family.

On the fourth floor of "Weiyuan Hall," candles were lit, and the candlelight stretched Heng Xian's figure by the window very long.

Su Wan'er, A Gou, and Lan Xiang knelt obediently to one side.

"Nephew Xian, actually, this matter can't be blamed on Uncle, right? You bragged, and you didn't tell me in advance. Don't tell me I'm not allowed to go home?"

Heng Xiaotian's impression of Heng Xian was still from a few years ago, and he wasn't afraid of his threats at all. "Do you know how miserable Uncle has been?

The first year, I was dragged into a hard labor camp by an evil cultivator and almost died inside. Fortunately, I met Hong Gu.

Hong Gu is an old woman at the Primordial Dan Realm.

Because I was handsome, I became her boy toy. During that time, I and my 140-year-old girlfriend,

lived a very happy life, but unfortunately, the peace was broken by a young mistress later..."

Heng Xian rubbed his brow: "How can you have the face to say such shameless things?

Not being able to compete with a young mistress shows your kidneys are bad.

Returning in poverty shows you haven't achieved much.

You, such a shameless person with bad kidneys and no achievements, still have the face to speak?"

"Uh..." Heng Xiaotian was dumbfounded.

Just then, the dense crowd of old, weak, women, and children slowly arrived from downstairs, each with big and small bags, terrified and uneasy.

Before long, they crowded the courtyard and the hall, chattering endlessly.

Old Master Heng Xiu finally arrived, and after a stern shout, it instantly became quiet.

Just as the old master went up to the fourth floor, the disciples waiting for orders at the four major gates, as well as the brothers Heng Wei and Heng De, and Heng Yueruo, also rushed over.

Heng De and his sister went upstairs and looked at each other. Heng Wei swallowed his saliva and said: "Everything is arranged properly!

According to reliable news, the nine families including Ye, Xiao, and Li have at least forty thousand people, killing from the four directions of southeast, northwest!"

Heng Xiu and Heng De's siblings all looked at Heng Xian.

Heng Xian put his hands behind his back, still looking out the window, and only after a long while did he say: "I see it!"

I saw in the distance, under the row upon row of buildings and on the empty streets, faint black lines appearing.

Various ferocious demon beasts and disciples of various families holding spiritual weapons were slowly pressing up.

Behind him, Heng Xiu, Heng Wei, and the others also saw it, and their breathing became heavier.

Heng De said nervously: "Son, son, how do we fight?"

The group of messengers below also looked up.

"It's still early!" Heng Xian said lightly.

No one spoke, everyone's eyes moved with the "black lines" slowly approaching from all directions!

Closer!

One could already vaguely see the outlines of the enemy.

The oppressive "boom-boom" footsteps also came over.

Heng Xian's voice was slightly louder: "Pass the order down, all family disciples take the Divine Ox Strength Pill and the Great Emperor's Talent Pill!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

A group of messengers immediately ran out.

"Boom boom..."

The attacking "black lines" in the distance were getting closer and closer.

Heng Wei said with a trembling voice: "It seems the Ye Family is attacking the front gate, the Xiao Family is attacking the west gate, the Li Family is attacking the east gate, and the six small families including the Xue Family are attacking the north gate!"

Heng Xian was silent.

Heng Wei hesitated: "Should we use the Heaven-Shooting Crossbows and Flame-Exploding Carts to shoot a wave?"

Heng Xian waved his sleeve: "No rush, let them walk a little longer!"

"Boom, boom..."

The "black lines" from all eight directions were getting closer and closer.

Five hundred meters!

Four hundred meters!

Three hundred meters!

Heng Xian picked up a yellow flag from the side and said lightly: "Uncle, you can prepare. Tell them to take my yellow flag as the order, wave the flag and open fire!"

"Yes!"

Heng Wei hurried downstairs and left with a group of messengers.

Heng Xian extended the flag out the window and held it high.

Two hundred meters!

One hundred meters!

Ninety meters!

Behind him, Heng Xiu, Heng De, Heng Xiaotian, and Heng Yueruo were so nervous they kept swallowing their saliva.

Seventy meters!

Fifty meters!

One could already see the countless mounts, demon beasts, and disciples of the nine families in the drizzle.

Heng Xian waved the flag heavily.

"Kill!"

A heart-wrenching roar came from Heng Wei in the distance.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Thick crossbow bolts glowing with light shot out densely from the family city gate.

The dense formation of the nine families died in large numbers, and even the ground was shot into gullies.

"Shoo, shoo, shoo..."

Huge cart crossbows glowing with fire also shot upward.

"Boom boom boom..."

The disciples of the nine families were shaken away, burned, and scorched in large numbers, and dead bodies fell in piles.
