The battle between the Azure Dragon Sacred Clan and the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan has begun. This is the largest battle since the two sides started fighting. The Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan is unwilling to give up their largest and most prominent business in Sacred Martial City, while the Azure Dragon Sacred Clan is determined to win, so the fighting is exceptionally fierce.
Because the Azure Dragon Sacred Clan had prepared some chained grappling hooks specifically to break through the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan's defensive shields, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan couldn't hold on for long after a period of fighting.
As the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan showed signs of defeat, the Azure Dragon Sacred Clan's offensive became frantic.
With a large number of casualties appearing in the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan, Zhen Beixuan shouted for a retreat.
But retreating was not an option! Shangshu Tianye issued an order to pursue and kill. Since the war had begun, it would be a fight to the death.
"Shangshu Tianye, we have formed an enmity now," Zhen Beixuan roared angrily.
"Those are useless words. If you keep dawdling, I will make sure you can't return to Vermilion Bird Sacred Mountain!" Shangshu Tianye's aura changed, becoming profound, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
The Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan retreated, and their headquarters in Sacred Martial City was taken by the Azure Dragon Sacred Clan.
After a fierce battle, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan could no longer gain a foothold in Sacred Martial City. Whenever their people appeared, the Azure Dragon Sacred Clan would attack.
This made many people realize Shangshu Tianye's domineering nature and the Azure Dragon Sacred Clan's formidable power.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Ling Wu sat in the main seat, drinking tea with Mei Tianling and Grand Elder Su.
"City Lord Ling, this conflict doesn't seem to be in Shangshu Tianye's style," Mei Tianling said.
"President Mei, Shangshu Tianye looks very scholarly, but that's just one side of him. He usually doesn't act, but when he does, he won't hold back. The Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan can't stay in Sacred Martial City. They just lifted their mountain Ban, and their forces haven't gathered in Sacred Martial City, so they can't withstand the Azure Dragon Sacred Clan's attack. Even if the Martial Ban ends and an unrestricted war begins, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan still won't fare well, because Shangshu Tianye himself is not simple. And I won't hide it from you two, he is one of the Sacred Martial Law Enforcers," Ling Wu said.
Upon hearing Ling Wu's words, Mei Tianling's face was filled with shock, and Grand Elder Su's cloak also trembled slightly.
"Sacred Martial Law Enforcers, who manage some of the rules of the Sacred Martial Continent and oversee external wars, are they not supposed to participate in factional struggles?" Mei Tianling asked.
"They are not allowed to actively attack other factions, but forced defense is not restricted. This time, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan lost their minds and attacked the Azure Dragon Sacred Clan first, so Shangshu Tianye will not be polite. The other Sacred Martial Law Enforcers will also not go against Shangshu Tianye," Ling Wu explained.
"So that's how it is," Mei Tianling nodded.
"President Mei, I recommend you to join the Sacred Martial Law Enforcement Hall. We are still waiting for responses from the other enforcers, but there should be no problem. Elder Su, on the other hand, still needs a bit more experience. It's better to first manage the affairs of the Sacred Martial Hall. The safety of our Sacred Martial Continent is more important than anything else," Ling Wu said.
Grand Elder Su nodded, then looked at Ling Wu, "Qin Longhan is now a Half-Step Venerable. He is about to launch a major attack on the White Tiger Sacred Clan and the Blazing Thunder Sacred Clan. Are the Sacred Martial Law Enforcers not going to intervene?"
"No intervention! First, he is not a Venerable. Furthermore, the White Tiger Sacred Clan and the Blazing Thunder Sacred Clan were in the wrong back then. They attacked the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan without any enmity or reason. It is only right for the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan to seek revenge. These are the exact words of the Grand Enforcer and your Grand Demon," Ling Wu said to Grand Elder Su.
Grand Elder Su nodded, she had no more questions. As the Grand Elder of Demon Castle, she had access to some information and understood these matters.
The Azure Dragon Sacred Clan held the absolute upper hand, and the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan went into hiding. Everyone thought the war had entered a low period, but then shocking news came: the two Elders summoned by Zhen Beixuan were killed by Shangshu Tianye outside Sacred Martial City.
This news was very shocking. The two killed were powerful cultivators at the Late Stage of the Sixth-Tier King Realm in the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan. Zhen Beixuan had informed them to come, planning to attack Shangshu Tianye together, kill him, and change the course of the battle. Unexpectedly, the plan was only halfway through when it was thwarted. This was a heavy blow to the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan.
In the two consecutive battles between experts, the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan lost five King Realm experts. This had already damaged the Origin Qi of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan.
After killing the two Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan experts, Shangshu Tianye issued a challenge, stating that he would deal with Zhen Beixuan once the Martial Ban ended, and told Zhen Beixuan to hide well and not let him catch him.
This situation made everyone realize that the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan had run into a brick wall this time and was not on the same level as the Azure Dragon Sacred Clan.
Qin Chu, who received this news from Lang Lang, was very surprised. He hadn't expected his prospective father-in-law to be so ruthless, completely giving no chance to the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan.
While Qin Chu was thinking, Shangshuyu arrived, bringing two buckets of tea to Qin Chu.
"Senior Sister, isn't your old man a bit too ruthless and domineering?" Qin Chu asked, looking at Shangshuyu.
"They made Father angry. They shouldn't have attacked Azure Dragon Castle, because Mother and I were both inside the castle. That day, Father was planning to return to the clan to handle some matters. Just as Father left the castle, they began their attack. Father, who had already traveled some distance, returned in time and killed them. Father was very angry and also a little scared. If he had really gone far, then Mother and I would have been in danger. This is why Father didn't hold back in striking them," Shangshuyu said to Qin Chu.
"So that's how it is. They deserve to die!" Qin Chu nodded. If his wife and daughter were threatened, he wouldn't tolerate it either.
"My old man? When we get married, he will be your father-in-law. You should call him Uncle now!" Shangshuyu rolled her eyes at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu chuckled awkwardly, "Next time we meet, I will definitely call him Uncle."
"The Martial Ban is about to end, and your Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan is also about to make a move. Be careful," Shangshuyu said, looking at Qin Chu with concern.
Qin Chu nodded. Ten days had passed since the Azure Cloud Ranking Competition, and in another five days, the Martial Ban would end. Sacred Martial City would return to normal, and battles would commence.
"Senior Sister, these are the supreme-grade Heavenly Origin Medicinal Pills I refined. Take them and use them. If you need any Medicinal Pills, come find me. I won't have peace for many more days," Qin Chu said to Shangshuyu.
Shangshuyu nodded, "If you have anything, you can go directly to Azure Dragon Castle. I've already told them, they won't stop you."
After seeing Shangshuyu off, Qin Chu fell into thought. He suddenly felt that now was an opportunity to rescue his mother. Because several King Realm experts of the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan had been killed, and Clan Chief Zhen Beixuan was trapped in Sacred Martial City, Vermilion Bird Sacred Mountain must be empty. If Qin Longhan led people to infiltrate Vermilion Bird Sacred Mountain and take down the True Profound Space, then Zhen Xueyan could be rescued.
Thinking of this, Qin Chu returned to the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan's stronghold through a secret passage, unnoticed by anyone. He met Qin Longhan and Qin Lingxi, then expressed his thoughts.
"It is indeed feasible. Then we will postpone the war in Sacred Martial City for a while and first focus on the rescue," Qin Longhan said.
