Half of the Heavenly Star Continent had already been taken over by the Ling family! Even if there was still a Xiao family that had the so-called 3000 li of beautiful mountains and rivers, after losing the 450,000 strong army, the Xiao family was no longer a concern.
Furthermore, they were now blocked by the flood in the Southeast, unable to enter or exit.
The Ling family's army had already advanced towards the East, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the moment the flood receded, the Ling family would definitely attack the Heavenly Water Ravine Pass at the first opportunity. The Xiao family's strength had been greatly reduced, and they had no hope of taking back the Heavenly Water Ravine Pass!
In a short period of time, the Ling family had suddenly emerged as a new force to be reckoned with. It could be said that they were invincible, looking down on the world, and had become the most powerful force in the entire Heavenly Star Continent! Even the powerful Tamago, who had ruled the world for thousands of years, couldn't help but appear clumsy in comparison …
During this period of time, Tamago's army had also rushed towards the Southwest like a river bursting its banks, attacking the city and forcing the Western Han army to retreat step by step. Finally, the new head of the XiMen Family, Ximen Sa, had led his army to resist the Tamago army with all his might. Seeing that the Tamago army was truly unstoppable, he wisely opened the city gates and surrendered without any hesitation.
The Western Han imperial family had never imagined that the new head of the XiMen Family, Ximen Sa, who had sworn to live and die with the imperial family just a day ago, would actually be so shameless. Without any precautions, he directly allowed the Tamago army to charge into the imperial palace. Even when the entire city had been completely occupied by the Tamago army, the pitiful ruler of the Western Han was still shouting at the top of his lungs, "Hurry and inform the head of the XiMen Family, quickly come and save me …"
On this day, the XiMen Family also announced the death of the old family head. The family head of the XiMen Family, Ximen Wuyi, who had been beaten into a vegetative state by Ling Tian, no longer needed to live senselessly. He could be euthanized and die …
To the XiMen Family that had made great contributions to Tamago, the Tamago Family displayed a great degree of respect. While Family Head Tamago Yu ManLou did not personally come to pay his respects, he still sent the highest ranking commander of the Tamago army as well as an elder of the Tamago Family. No matter what, XiMen WuYi was still the Family Head of a generation. With tens of thousands of people attending his funeral, it could be said that his death was filled with grief and glory …
Thus, with the help of XiMen Sa, the Tamago Army quickly pacified the Western Han forces that could possibly oppose them. After that, they successfully incorporated the Western Han army into their ranks. Following which, they merged their forces and headed straight for their next target, the Wu Country.
In order to reward XiMen Sa for his meritorious service and to further rope in the XiMen Family, Yu ManLou specially sent out an order to appoint XiMen Sa as the deputy commander. XiMen Sa was to lead the troops under the direct command of the XiMen Family as well as half of the surrendered troops of the Western Han to attack the Wu Country. XiMen Sa also promised that the day he returned victorious would be the day he would be conferred the title of Marquis.
As such, the young family head of the XiMen Family changed from holding the authority of the family to a young commander with a huge army in his hands. As a young man, it could be said that he had climbed to the pinnacle of authority in his life! This kind of unparalleled glory caused young noble XiMen to shine brightly. There were even people who began to compare XiMen Sa with Ling Tian, who had appeared out of nowhere in recent years.
Then, everyone suddenly realized that regardless of family background, intelligence, martial arts, or status, young noble XiMen was only a hair's breadth away from young noble Ling Tian. As such, all sorts of praises rose up, and XiMen Sa shone brightly.
Right at this time, the latest reports regarding the war in the East were like the waves of the ocean, coming in wave after wave. Every piece of news was so shocking!
One after another, it was as if they were preposterous news!
Fighting on three fronts at the same time, defeating the 450,000 troops of the Xiao family three times! Destroying the Southern Zheng! Flattening Eastern Zhao! Everything happened at the same time. If it was any other day, no one would be able to believe the authenticity of this news. How could such a result be possible?!
How could the Ling family, which was just a makeshift family, possess such strength? On the other hand, if the accuracy of this news could not be doubted, then as the victor, just how strong was the Ling family?!
Unbelievable!
It was unbelievable!
However, it was a pity that they had no choice but to believe it!
The entire Heavenly Star Continent was in an uproar!
Tamago.
The head of the Tamago Family, Yu ManLou, stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking out.
Every time he was in a bad mood or in a good mood, he would stand there motionlessly. Everyone knew about this habit of his, but no one really knew when he was in a good mood and when he was in a bad mood.
The head of the Tamago Family was someone who never showed his emotions on his face!
But at this moment, no one knew that the head of the family, who had always been as steady as a mountain, was currently at a loss.
Now that he had easily pacified the Western Han and was about to lead his troops to the Wu Empire, he should be filled with pride and satisfaction. Why would he be at a loss?!
Before Yu ManLou became the head of the Tamago Family, he was already an insufferably arrogant figure. After he became the head of the Tamago Family, he became even bolder and more decisive. Under Ling Tian, not only did he forge the family into an iron plate, he also gradually expanded the family's influence. The current Tamago Family was able to control far more territory and influence than the previous Tamago Family.
To put it bluntly, ever since Yu ManLou became the head of the Tamago Tamago Family, the overall strength of the Tamago Family had reached a new height!
Apart from that, Yu ManLou also trained Tamago's private army and secretly nurtured powerful and mysterious assassins. He was ruthless in eliminating all resistance and used both strength and gentleness to deal with the swaying powers. One was in the light while the other was in the dark, and there was nothing that he couldn't solve. While Yu ManLou was filled with confidence, everyone in Tamago also thought the same: As long as the head of the family is personally involved, there is nothing that can't be solved!
Looking at Heavenly Star, who else but me can ascend to the top of Heavenly Star?!
Yu ManLou didn't even place his thousand year old enemy, the Water of Heavenly Wind, in his eyes!
It was with this confidence that Yu ManLou was able to achieve victory in every battle!
But at this moment, the confidence in Yu ManLou's heart was in tatters.
Grasping the military reports from all over the continent, Yu ManLou clenched his fists tightly behind his back to the point that his knuckles turned white …
The five year agreement, the gamble of the world!
Yu ManLou shook his head and a sorrowful smile surfaced in his heart. Could it be that his decision back then was wrong? If he had risked some internal injuries to kill Yu ManLou, would the situation have been better? But what was the point of thinking about it now? After all, there was no such thing as an 'if' in the world.
Ling Tian had only entered his sights a few years ago. In the end, he was still a child who wasn't even 20 years old. It could be said that Yu ManLou had already placed a lot of importance on him. But now that he thought about it, it seemed that he had still underestimated him. From the moment Yu ManLou appeared in his sights, Yu ManLou was already destined to be his opponent. But in this short span of less than a year, Yu ManLou had already grown into a powerful opponent that he couldn't control! When Ling Tian was being chased by Justice, he even dared to come to Bright Jade City and made a five year agreement with Yu ManLou!
But just three months after the agreement was made, Yu ManLou already had a premonition that he would fail.
In this short span of three months, the Ling family's army was invincible and the Ling family's army was invincible. Ling Tian had successfully escaped from the pursuit of the Martial Order Medallion and made use of the misconceptions of the people in the world to hide in the shadows. He had single-handedly created a war that spanned half the continent, catching all his enemies off guard and causing them to fall into his trap!
Just these few wars alone cost the lives of more than a million people in half of the Heavenly Star Continent!
How many people were there in the entire Heavenly Star Continent?
And these people's lives were the steps that Ling Tian took to reach the peak.
Half of the continent in the southeast had already belonged to the Ling family. In this short period of time, his Tamago had only managed to defeat a small Western Han. While it wasn't a small victory, the difference between the two was too great. Who wouldn't be able to tell who won and who lost?!
In the hall behind him, a group of Tamago leaders stood by the side in trepidation. None of them dared to make a single sound. If they dared to provoke their family head at this moment, they would be courting death.
"Mobilize the entire army and send all our experts to the frontlines. We must destroy the Wu Country within five days at all costs! Destroy all of the strength of the BeiMing Family! "Yu ManLou turned around and gave out this order without turning back! Yu Manlou's voice was exceptionally resolute, fully displaying his resolve. Under such circumstances, any persuasion would be useless, and he wouldn't accept any different opinions!
Destroy the Wu Country in five days! Destroy the BeiMing Family!
This was an unheard of goal! But now, everyone knew that since their family head had given out such an order, then even if they had to die, they had to complete this goal within five days! If they couldn't complete it, their family head would no longer be stingy with his rage. No one would be able to endure Yu ManLou's rage!
No matter the cost!
These words immediately ignited the fighting spirit of these old assassins who had once roamed the pugilistic world.
This was also Yu ManLou's only chance to turn the tables!
Five days. If they could really destroy the Wu Country within five days, then they would have a chance to turn the tables on Ling Tian. At that time, the starting line of both families would be equal again. Tamago would start from the Northern Wei and the Ling family would start from Sky Bearing. Furthermore, Tamago had a thousand more years of foundation than the Ling family! But if he were to lose in such a situation, Yu ManLou would truly have no face left and wouldn't be able to show his face.
If everything went smoothly, after Tamago destroyed the Wu Country, there would only be the Moon Deity Empire left. As for the Ling family, they would only be left with the Xiao family in the Southeast. While the Xiao family's strength was greatly reduced, as long as the Blue Jade River's water was not cleared, then Ling Tian would not be able to do anything about it. As for the Xiao family, they would still have 3000 miles of land to rely on and would be able to be self-sufficient. Furthermore, the Xiao family had a thousand years of foundation. While they were greatly weakened, they might still be able to put up a fight. Yu ManLou believed that the Ling family wouldn't be too optimistic about this.
As for Yu ManLou, while the Moon Deity Empire was too far away, there wouldn't be any obstructions. The army would at most have to travel a long distance. Yu ManLou believed that with the help of the Lei family, the Moon Deity Empire wouldn't be a problem.
But the problem now was that if the Xiao family wanted to protect themselves, then there wouldn't be a problem. But if the Xiao family wasn't willing to lose and wanted to take revenge, or if they wanted to bring the Xiao family's army back, then they would be in big trouble. At the very least, it would be terrible for Yu ManLou and Tamago.
Because if that was the case, the Ling family would definitely not let go of this opportunity. They would definitely take down the Xiao family and unify half of the Heavenly Star Continent. If that was the case, then Yu ManLou would definitely be ahead of Tamago. In other words, Yu ManLou would have lost that heaven-shaking bet. But the problem now was that Yu ManLou couldn't afford to lose!
"Have the people from the Lei family arrived?" Yu ManLou furrowed his brows and asked.
"The people from the Lei family have already arrived. It is just that big brother isn't willing to agree to their conditions, so the situation between the two families is a little awkward." The voice was clear and elegant. It was the Second Master of Tamago, Yu ManTang.
"The ambition of the Lei family is a little too big!" Yu ManLou snorted and said, "The current situation is a once in a lifetime opportunity and they have obviously seen it. To actually use this opportunity to threaten me, they really don't know the difference between life and death!"
Yu ManLou remained silent and didn't say anything. He also didn't know what to say. Ever since he knew what Yu ManLou wanted the Lei family to do, Yu ManTang had always had a grudge in his heart.
A cold light flashed past Yu ManLou's eyes and a sinister smile appeared on his face, "Tell Lei ZhenTian that as long as he agrees to help us Tamago when we attack the Moon Deity Empire, together with this matter, I will agree to their request and divide the world equally! We will sign the agreement in black and white and swear to the heavens that we will never go back on our words. In the future, all the successors of Tamago will follow this as the first rule. "
Yu ManTang's body trembled and he sighed in his heart before agreeing helplessly.
"However, since they have taken advantage of us, they have to repay us. I need them to take action immediately! If not, the moment the Ling family cleans up the Southern Zheng, all of their main forces will definitely return to Sky Bearing. At that time, not only will the casualties increase, our plan will definitely not be able to be completed. This opportunity is fleeting and we only have a day to consider. If they are unwilling to agree after a day, this proposal will be voided! Let them go back to where they came from and we will never be allies again. "
Yu ManLou said solemnly.
While the agreement with Ling Tian was to not interfere with each other's business before the unification of the two families, the agreement was only between Tamago and the Ling family. It didn't include a third party, such as the Lei family. If the Lei family wants to make a move on the Ling family, so what if it was Tamago who instigated it? Even if Ling Tian knew that Tamago was behind this and knew that it was Tamago who instigated it, not a single person from Tamago was involved. Ling Tian wouldn't be able to say anything! If you have the ability, you can also instigate others to make a move on our Tamago!
As long as the Lei family's plan succeeds, the Ling family would definitely suffer an unprecedented blow. Even if Ling Tian didn't die, the chances of him making a comeback would be extremely slim.
Ling Tian ah Ling Tian, you have always been smart, but do you know that there is a plan in this world called 'driving the tiger to swallow the wolf'?
As long as the Lei family tries their best to destroy the Ling family before the Ling family's three-sided war ends, how would they be able to escape from Ling Tian's revenge? With Ling Tian's strength, he would be able to single-handedly turn the Lei family upside down. Furthermore, Ling Tian had a few experts by his side. At that time, the Lei family wouldn't be in a good position either.
Even if the Lei family was able to survive, how many of them would be left? At that time, how would they be able to split the world with him? What a joke! A single imperial edict would be enough to wipe them out! While the successor of the Yu Family would definitely acknowledge this agreement, the Lei Family would be wiped out before the successor could even appear. How would anyone be blamed for that?
Yu ManLou laughed sinisterly. To think that there would be such a bunch of fools in this world who would believe in promises and agreements. If he didn't make full use of them, he would really be letting down their fools!
Oath? If oaths could really come true, then perhaps not many people in this world would have a good death. Ten thousand arrows pierced through their hearts and five bolts of lightning struck their heads. However, there weren't many people who would die from being pierced by arrows. As for being struck by lightning … there hadn't been anyone who died in such a violent manner since ancient times …
Second Master Yu ManTang let out a long sigh and walked out.
After a period of time, a pigeon flew into Yu ManLou's study: The Lei family has agreed to move out in batches in the afternoon to infiltrate Sky Bearing and wait for an opportunity to strike.
Crumpling the paper into a ball, Yu ManLou revealed a sly smile.
Ling Tian, I admit that your decision to sever the Blue Jade River and start the war was out of my expectations. Even now, I still don't know what kind of tricks you used to create such a miracle. However, a good opportunity is a missed opportunity. It is your ability that you were able to grab hold of it and I won't blame the heavens or anyone else. However, my plan of using the tiger to swallow the wolf was also out of your expectations, right? Right now, the Ling family is extremely weak in Sky Bearing and all of their elites are fighting outside. I, Yu ManLou, want to see if you can still play any more tricks after your Ling family and Ling House are destroyed.
*****
In the night, the sky was filled with stars.
Ling Tian flipped the leg of a wild boar over the fire and greedily breathed in the fragrance of the meat. He let out a satisfied sigh and said, "After so many years, my culinary skills are still so good. I really admire myself. This brother is a miracle."
Li Xue hugged her knees and sat by the side obediently with a satisfied look on her face. She then said with disappointment, "It is a pity that this wild boar doesn't belong to us. Brother Tian, do you know how much I hoped to be able to have a peaceful meal with you? Just the two of us. Unfortunately, even at the time of my death … "Li Xue's beautiful face flickered under the light of the fire as the night breeze brushed past her. It was as if she was both real and illusory at the same time. At this moment, she was like a helpless girl, lonely and pitiful. However, this pitiful appearance of hers was extremely moving.
Ling Tian's hand that was holding onto the firewood paused for a moment and he shook his head, interrupting her words, "The matters of the past are just a dream. Be good and don't think about it. Today, I'll show you what I can do. I guarantee that your weight will skyrocket to 180. "He smiled, winked, and added," Kilograms. "
"Kilograms? Since when does this world have a kilogram? 180 kg? Do you think I am a pig? " Li Xue burst out into laughter and the melancholy in her heart was washed away by Ling Tian's words. She shifted her body slightly and rested her head on Ling Tian's chest as she muttered, "I'm only 170 centimeters and 52 kilograms. Not to mention 180 kilograms, I wouldn't even have the face to live if I were 70 kilograms."
"That won't do." Ling Tian smiled sanctimoniously. "It will be strange if you can't reach 70 or 80 kg after some time."
"Nonsense, how can I be that heavy!" Li Xue frowned in Ling Tian's arms and thought hard for a moment. She then said firmly, "No matter when, something like that will never happen."
Ling Tian chuckled and said wretchedly, "If you are twins, you might be able to reach 90 kg or even more. That is the happiest moment for a woman! Don't tell me you don't want to. Haven't you been looking forward to it for two lifetimes?! "
"Can't you think of something better?!" Li Xue's face instantly flushed red. She was both embarrassed and bashful, and her entire body began to heat up. She punched him twice and pouted.
"How is this not a good thing?" Ling Tian chuckled. "This is the best thing! Could it be that I guessed wrongly and you don't want to?!"
"Hmph!" Li Xue pouted angrily and turned her head away, ignoring him. However, she couldn't help but fantasize about what Ling Tian said. The more she thought about it, the hotter she felt. How could she not want to do it in both her previous life and her current life?!
Ling Tian could clearly feel the delicate body in his embrace heating up, and could not help but be startled. He hugged her and took a few steps back from the bonfire.
The two of them had already snuck out for an entire day and night. The place they were currently at was the place where Ling Tian and Ling Jian had agreed to meet. Furthermore, this was also the path that the Above Heavens members who went to the Northern Wei to find trouble with Tamago had to take to return home!
Just a day ago, Ling Tian received news that the conflict between Above Heavens and Tamago had come to an end. It was said that Tamago had made a huge concession and the Above Heavens members were currently preparing to rush back to the Southeast to support the Xiao family.
Ling Tian naturally knew why Yu ManLou made a concession. In his heart, he had already scolded this despicable old fox a few thousand times! In order to make these people come back to find trouble with him, Yu ManLou actually made a huge concession to his enemies!
If it was Ling Tian in Yu ManLou's shoes, he would definitely not make a concession. He would rather eliminate these people before facing Yu ManLou. However, Yu ManLou did so without any hesitation.
This caused Ling Tian to feel immense pressure in his heart. Yu ManLou making a concession to Above Heavens did not mean that he was afraid of them. After all, Above Heavens and Beyond Heavens were different in nature. In fact, it was the complete opposite. This meant that Yu ManLou did not place Above Heavens in his eyes at all. If Above Heavens was truly powerful, Yu ManLou would have spared no expense to keep them in Bright Moon City.
Thus, Yu ManLou was willing to throw away his face in order to make these people come back to find trouble with Ling Tian. This also meant that Ling Tian was the opponent that Yu ManLou viewed as the most important!
Thus, he was willing to throw away his face in order to make use of these people to cause huge losses to Ling Tian.
Ling Tian gritted his teeth in hatred. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
