Chapter 869: 778 Plan

"I’ll contact Taoist Friend Wang to ask about the situation in the battle," said Qin Wei gravely. "It would be best to know the reasons why the Wang Family and the Fire Fusion Clan have launched this conflict."

Before, when the Bloodvine Clan attacked the great cities controlled by the Human Clan, it was to scheme for the Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, the Golden Blade. The Human Clan joining forces with the Fire Fusion Clan to deal with the Bloodvine Clan and Crystal Clan must certainly involve some plotting.

"The Wang Family might not tell us the reasons; given the scale of the battle, it might have been commanded by a Mahayana Cultivator," Chu Buyu speculated.

It should be noted that the last time the Bloodvine Clan merely attacked a few major cities of the Human Clan, only some of the powerful influences from the Human Clan participated in the war. This time, all ten major forces of the Human Clan are involved.

The scale of the battle far surpasses the previous one, the conflict likely being led by Mahayana Cultivators, with even greater strategic intent.

"I also think so," Qin Wei nodded. "The only thing is, I don’t know what the truth is."

Li Xin came in and said, "Master Aunt Qin, Uncle Shen, Master Aunt Chu, Senior Wang has invited you to a meeting in the Myriad Wood Garden to discuss the battle."

"Understood, we’ll head over now," Qin Wei responded.

They arrived at the Myriad Wood Garden where the Wang Family cultivators led them to a quiet small courtyard, in the center of which was a six-sided Green Stone Pavilion.

Six men and one woman were sitting inside the pavilion: Wang Tianxin, Wang Tianyang, Wu Xuan, Five-Flame True Monarch, Li Yunshan, Chu Feng, and Ni Tianting.

"Madam Qin, Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, please take a seat. You must be tired from your journey," Wang Tianxin greeted them with a beaming smile and a warm invitation to sit down.

"Taoist Friend Wang, haven’t the cultivators from Blood Flame Sect and the Qi Family arrived yet?" Qin Wei asked.

"They haven’t arrived yet; they should be here in a few days," Wang Tianxin explained.

He took out a Golden Divination Disk, injected a spell, and said with a smile, "They have arrived at Tianxuan City. I have sent someone to invite them over."

Wang Tianyang’s gaze fell on Shen Long and he cupped his hands, saying, "This is Wang Tianyang. It’s an honor to meet the three of you."

"Taoist Friend Wang is too modest. I have long heard of your great reputation; without you, the Golden Blade would have ended up in the hands of Heterodox Cultivators," praised Shen Long.

He had heard of Wang Tianyang before, known for possessing the Nine Suns Body and for his Divine Skills surpassing mortals.

"Indeed! Even with the Golden Blade, that Unity Cultivator from a Different Clan couldn’t match up to Taoist Friend Wang," Qin Wei expressed with admiration.

"The Golden Blade is just a Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure. I have a set of Top Grade Spiritual Treasures that could defend against it somewhat. But if it were a Xuantian Treasure, I surely could not withstand it," said Wang Tianyang earnestly.

"Taoist Friend Wang jests. If it were really a Xuantian Treasure, how could it possibly fall into the hands of a Unity Cultivator?" doubted Chu Feng.

"That’s not necessarily the case. Luck is a hard thing to predict. Master Qingmei from the Tianxuan Realm obtained a shard of a Xuantian Treasure and was able to fight against five, exterminating all the enemies," Wang Tianyang remarked solemnly.

"I have been to the Tianxuan Realm in my earlier years and had dealings with Master Qingmei. He got a shard of a Xuantian Treasure?" inquired Qin Wei, curious.

"Yes! That was news from over three hundred years ago. After the event, Master Qingmei disappeared without a trace," explained Wang Tianyang.

"Tsk tsk, a shard of a Xuantian Treasure, even Mahayana Cultivators would be envious," marvelled Chu Feng.

"It depends on the power of the shard; not all shards can make Mahayana Cultivators envious," Wang Tianxin dismissed.

After some idle chatter, a broad-shouldered man in a golden robe and a well-endowed woman in a yellow skirt walked in, both at the Middle Stage of Unity.

"I am Zhao Hu from the Blood Flame Sect, a pleasure to meet all the Taoist Friends," said the golden-robed man, his voice booming as he greeted with a clenched fist.

"This one is Qi Keyun," the woman in the yellow skirt introduced herself.

Wang Tianxin invited them to sit down, their seats right next to Chu Feng.

"Taoist Friend Wang, why initiate battle this time? And even ally with the Fire Fusion Clan?"

Madam Qin asked.

Wu Xuan, Chu Feng, and others all looked towards Wang Tianxin with curious faces.

"We received a message that a Mahayana Cultivator from the Bloodvine Clan might have experienced an accident. We wanted to test the Bloodvine Clan’s actual strength and also show them a little color."

Wang Tianxin said.

The Wang Family was still unable to confirm the authenticity of this message; engaging in battle also had the purpose of probing.

"A Mahayana Cultivator from the Bloodvine Clan experienced an accident?"

Shen Long and the others had shocked expressions on their faces, this was sensational news.

The Bloodvine Clan only had one Mahayana Cultivator left. If the Mahayana Cultivator died or vanished, the Bloodvine Clan might not face extinction but their territory would definitely shrink significantly.

"Taoist Friend Wang, I hear that you took the initiative to attack several major cities controlled by the Bloodvine Clan. How did it go?"

Chu Feng asked.

"So far, we’ve slain five Unity Cultivators from the Bloodvine Clan, severely injured twelve. Our side has two fallen Unity Cultivators, and eight who are seriously wounded. The Bloodvine Clan has suffered greater losses. This is just the beginning."

Wang Tianxin reported truthfully.

"Just the beginning?"

Chu Feng’s brow furrowed, the battle had not been going on for long, but already seven Unity Cultivators had perished on both sides; this war was on a significant scale!

"Rest well for now. In three days, we will launch an attack. Those who accomplish great deeds will be generously rewarded, those who shrink back during battle will be punished severely, and those who defect to the enemy will be killed without mercy."

At the end of his statement, Wang Tianxin’s tone was ice cold.

"An attack in three days? That’s so soon?"

Zhao Hu was somewhat surprised.

"Ancestor Mingting is waiting for us to report our victories! If it weren’t for considering that you’ve just arrived at the front lines, I would want to attack right away."

Wang Tianxin explained.

The "Ancestor Mingting" he referred to was the Five Thunder Divine Monarch, a Mahayana Cultivator.

"Three days will be enough. Taoist Friend Wang, do you need us to help contain the Bloodvine Clan’s Unity Cultivators?"

Chu Feng asked.

"It’s not about containing, but fighting to the death with the Bloodvine Clan’s Unity Cultivators. In the first battle, it’s best to slay several Body Integration Realm beings from different clans."

Wang Tianxin’s voice was heavy.

"I will also take action. I ask that everyone does not hold back."

Wang Tianyang spoke up.

Shen Long and the others unanimously agreed and started to discuss the details of the battle strategy.

······

Bloodvine City, Bloodvine Garden.

Xiao Yan, Teng Xiong, Gu Yun, Ba Xin, and several other Unity Cultivators were sitting in a Green Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

"Taoist Friend Xiao, why have the Human Clan initiated war and even dragged the Fire Fusion Clan into it?"

Gu Yun asked curiously.

"Yes, the scale of this war is much larger than the last one."

Ba Xin said, frowning.

"We’re not sure why the Human Clan has initiated a large-scale war; we’re still investigating. It could be that the Humans or the Fire Fusion Clan have obtained some powerful treasure and are trying to test its power, or maybe there’s some other secret they’re not disclosing,"

Xiao Yan speculated.

The Bloodvine Clan was also in the dark. They had many Human Cultivators in their pay, but the Wang Family’s sudden attack came without any warnings.

They also did not understand the strategic intentions of the Human Clan, and could only respond reactively to the battle.

"I heard several major cities have been attacked by Human Cultivators; what are the losses?"

Ba Xin inquired.

"So far, we have lost five Unity Cultivators, while the Humans lost two, but they also had several Unity Cultivators seriously injured."

Teng Xiong said.

Ba Xin, Gu Yun, and the others exchanged glances. From the looks of it, the Bloodvine Clan had suffered more significant losses.

"You have all had a hard journey, go back and rest. The other major cities are not doing well either, we cannot be too shoddy, the ancestor is paying close attention to this matter."

Xiao Yan instructed.

He invoked the stance of a Mahayana Cultivator, and with eased expressions, Ba Xin, Gu Yun, and the others agreed and withdrew.
