Shame colored Wang Yutang's face. "We weren't sworn brothers in the beginning … It was when the marshal died from vomiting blood that the marshal's son sent experts to infiltrate Yutang and kidnapped Shangguan Wudi's wife and child …"
Once he said that, the generals from the other countries looked at him in disdain.
Every despicable method could be used on the battlefield, and the victor would always be the king. However, it was taboo to use unorthodox methods outside of the battlefield. The method of kidnapping and threatening others was the lowest and most unorthodox method. Once any general used this method, no matter how impressive he was before, what results he achieved in battle, or what achievements he would have in the future, he would no longer be qualified to be listed among the famous generals of the continent. Implicating one's wife and children was a great taboo in the military!
To use such a despicable tactic against a hero of a generation was even more infuriating and contemptible!
"Shangguan Wudi was told that if he charged into the formation as promised and died in the end, his wife and child would be released. If he could be saved, the grudge would be forgotten. However, Shangguan Wudi's wife committed suicide immediately when she found out that she was being used to threaten her husband. The young son in her arms was killed by the woman as well! "
"The woman said then, 'How can a lowly life be compared to my husband? If my husband charged into the formation, he would die without a doubt. If I go and leave my son alive, when he grows up and finds out that his father died because of him, he would be ashamed for the rest of his life. Why don't you go to the netherworld with me? I've let you and your son down in this life, but I hope that I can make it up to you in my next life. "
"After saying that, she killed her beloved son and committed suicide right away, a smile lingering on her lips."
"Shangguan Wudi charged into the formation and finally found out that his wife and child had died. He was heartbroken and decided to die in the midst of the army because he didn't want to live anymore …"
On the other side.
Shangguan Lingxiu spoke in a cold voice, "The passing of Ancestor Wudi is a great humiliation to the Shangguan Family. Since then, the Shangguan Family swore that if they couldn't avenge this blood feud and end this karma, they would always worship the name of their sworn brother as a cover!"
"Grandmother and little granduncle's memorial tablets will only be returned when the blood feud is avenged. This is the blood oath Ancestor Wudi made with the Qi of his dantian before he died. The descendants of Shangguan will remember it! "
All the generals immediately became solemn.
"It was also from then on that the continent established a new rule. No matter how one fought on the battlefield, no matter what methods one used, it was all within reason. However, one must not make things difficult for the family and children of one's opponent!"
Shangguan Lingxiu's voice was like a string of ice beads falling to the ground.
Yun Yang asked from the side, "What counts as revenge?"
The Empire of Ziyou's Old Marshal Wang Yutang closed his eyes dejectedly.
Shangguan Lingxiu said faintly, "The marshal of the Empire of Ziyou back then was Zi Hengzhong. It was his son, Zi Yicheng, who committed such despicable acts after his death. Zi Yicheng then initiated a mutiny and chased the Empire of Ziyou's emperor off his throne. His own family became royalty … It has lasted until today …"
"To settle this grudge, the Empire of Ziyou must be annihilated and Ziyou royalty must be exterminated. Only then will it end!"
The Empire of Ziyou's marshal, Zi Yuanlong, wore a grim expression.
He, too, was of the Empire of Ziyou's royal bloodline. He could not help feeling shaken when faced with such a story.
Shangguan Lingxiu looked at him and said coldly, "Marshal Zi, don't worry. We won't attack you when you're in Yutang. To kill you, we'll have to do it on the battlefield. To annihilate Ziyou, we'll have to break through the Ziyou Formation in a dignified manner and charge into Zitian City. We'll eradicate the Zihuang bloodline in a dignified manner before the world's heroes!"
Shangguan Lingxiu said faintly, "The continent's military grudge is only acknowledged by the nations as the only one left! As for the rest, be it life or death, victory or defeat, there's no gratitude nor grudge! "
"The so-called 'no gratitude nor grudge' and 'an invincible promise' came from this."
Shangguan Lingxiu's expression was calm and collected.
However, Yun Yang sucked in a cold breath when he heard what she said.
To annihilate the Empire of Ziyou and slaughter the entire royal family!
This vengeance … seemed to be difficult to exact.
Yun Yang had never been one to belittle himself; he could even be considered arrogant and thought highly of himself. However, Yun Yang did not have a plan to annihilate a nation's royalty with his own family at the moment. After all, it was a little too difficult!
"The Shangguan Family, generation after generation, will not rest until one of us is dead. We'll fulfill this wish. No matter the cost, we'll reunite Ancestor Invincible's family in the underworld and in the netherworld!"
Shangguan Lingxiu said faintly after she finished, "Fifty to sixty percent of the Shangguan Family's ancestors who are listed in the memorial tablets before us have such a story of Invincible … If all of you wish to pay your respects to them one by one, I'm afraid it'll take too long."
She was obviously asking them to leave.
However, even Han Sanhe dared not say anything in the face of the Shangguan Family's eviction order!
Among the densely packed memorial tablets, how many of them were more illustrious than his battle achievements?
How many of them were the lifetime idols of the world's militants?
They were not memorial tablets, they were the souls of the heroic warriors of the military!
Every soldier who came here was a pilgrimage!
The saying and the description was not an exaggeration at all.
"Everyone, please."
Yun Yang called out, "It's enough that your wish has been fulfilled. You should be content to pay your respects to the heroic spirits of the family of generals. Why are you still here? Let's go, let's go. Are you all so shameless that you insist on staying here for a meal? "
As he shouted, he shoved them out, chasing more than a hundred generals from various countries out like they were ducks.
Shangguan Lingxiu's almond-shaped eyes glanced at Yun Yang in surprise.
Ever since she got to know Yun Yang, the impression that he had given her had always been one of politeness, gentleness, elegance, and grace. It was as if nothing could change Yun Yang's innate elegance and grace, which he was born with.
However, the Yun Yang at this moment was a side that Shangguan Lingxiu had never seen before.
He did not give them any face, he was very impolite, and there was a tinge of rascality in him.
Was this the side of Yun Yang that he was facing his enemies?
Shangguan Lingxiu's eyes were slightly curved as she said, "Everyone, please."
…
As the group exited the Shangguan Family of Generals, everyone's hearts felt unusually heavy.
After experiencing the solemnity and heaviness in the ancestral hall, their hearts were still heavy and uncomfortable.
Even though the Heroic Soul had passed away many years ago, it was still as imposing as a mountain when he faced it. His might was unparalleled!
Even if it was only the memorial tablet, the majesty was still there!
When they walked out of the door, the rays of the setting sun shone on their faces, sending chills down their spines.
They did not feel like they had stayed in the family of generals for long, so why was it already sunset when they came out?
"Since there's nothing to do tonight, this old man will not make any other arrangements. Everyone, rest early. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the Broken Saber Pavilion; in the afternoon, we'll go to the Hall of Loyal Soul to pay our respects to our old rivals … Then, those who wish to return home can do so," Han Sanhe said.
Han Sanhe's words had shortened the travel time by almost half, but none of the generals from various countries had any objections.
After all, they had two main objectives for coming here – the military wine and the exploration of the Residence of Nine Supremes.
Now that they had drunk the wine, they had tried their best to explore the Residence of Nine Supremes.
Other than that, there was really nothing else that he had to do.
Rather than staying here and feeling the hostile gazes of the entire nation, it did not feel good.
Moreover, there was Yun Yang, the tour guide, who was constantly nagging and disturbing them. It was best to leave early!
Besides, other than Dongxuan, the exploration of the Residence of Nine Supremes had also damaged the high-end combat power of each country. A conservative estimate would be that ten percent of the country's high-end combat power had been lost. This loss had to be compensated as soon as possible, or else there would be hidden threats!
Therefore, it was more important to return home as soon as possible!
"It's good that you're fine. Then I shall go home tonight and not accompany you all. These two days have really tired me out. This job is f * cking difficult, I need to drink more water to replenish myself. "Yun Yang seemed to be relieved.
Yun Yang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but he did not know that it was the generals from the other countries who were truly relieved. They were afraid that this fellow would use his mouth again. In spite of this, all of them were grumbling inwardly, "You need to drink more water to replenish yourself? You're only thirsty because you scold us … This bastard! "
Han Sanhe smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Young Marquis Yun."
"It's my duty." Yun Yang chuckled. "You all know the way back to the inn, don't you? I guess all of you won't be in the mood to gamble anymore. Why don't you just cancel the scheduled itinerary? "
The generals from Dayuan snorted and said, "Does Yutang forbid gambling and playing with small amounts of money?"
Yun Yang rubbed his nose and said, "Of course it's not forbidden. I'm mainly afraid that after you all go in, they'll target you all and make you feel like you're facing a formidable enemy. You won't be happy and you won't be able to enjoy yourself … Especially if there's a situation where winning or losing matters and someone dies, you'll be buried in a foreign land and won't be able to return!"
"F * ck!"
The generals screamed inwardly, "What have we done? Why does it matter if we win or lose? Why do we have to be buried in a foreign land and won't be able to return? We really shouldn't have imagined that this fellow would say anything nice and not insult us! "
One of Dayuan's generals could not hold it in any longer and retorted, "How can you be sure that we won't be the ones slaughtering everyone? It matters if you win or lose, but what if you lose your pants? Just tell me if you can find a place to gamble, there's no need for such nonsense! "
Yun Yang chuckled. "Do you really want to play so badly? If you all really want to play, I can organize a single round for you all. What do you think? "
"Single round?" The generals felt that this child was up to no good again and had set up a trap. "What single round? What single round? Are you going to participate personally? "Their voices were filled with caution.
