"I only want to live my life with a clear conscience, and live an exciting life. As for my descendants, I will naturally do my best to make arrangements for them. However, the heavens and earth are not complete, and it is impossible for everything to go according to one's wishes. Who in the world can truly make arrangements for their afterlife? No one! Never! " Ling Tian raised his brows and said, "Even the powerful Tamago, with the enmity of the Shui Family, only lasted for a thousand years. And now, Yu Manlou has already decided to fight for hegemony under the heavens, going against the teachings of his ancestors! It is only a matter of a few years, and this is just an aristocratic family. What's more, the throne of the world? "
"I am also a human, and there are times when a person's strength is limited. There is nothing wrong with me making arrangements for my descendants. However, if my descendants have the ability to protect the country, they will naturally be able to protect it. If they can't protect it and it is snatched away by others, that is their problem. If their descendants have the ability to snatch it back, they can do so! However, that would be another struggle for hegemony! In my lifetime, this kind of thing will naturally not happen. However, I will not be immortal. Even if I want to, how can I control those after me? So, let nature take its course. "
"The rise of the Ling family is inevitable with me around. However, a few generations later, or a few hundred or a thousand years later, the Ling family will be ousted from power. That is something that can be seen right now! It will happen sooner or later, so what's the use of discussing it now? "
While Ling Tian was speaking, the intense battle was still going on. Everyone was watching nervously, except for Ling Tian and Ling Jian. Although the two of them were standing in the crowd, it was as though they were floating outside the crowd. Even if they glanced over, it was as though they were nonchalant. In their eyes, this kind of battle was not worth watching at all.
"When the war ends and the world is at peace, Ah Jian, do you want to be a general or a duke?" Ling Tian asked with a smile.
"War ends?" Ling Jian scratched his head in confusion. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was even more at a loss. That's right, if the young master unified the world, what should I do?
"I … I still want to follow Young Master. Only by following Young Master will I feel the most comfortable." After thinking for a long time, Ling Jian finally said, "I'll do whatever Young Master wants me to do. Even if I have to grind ink for Young Master, I'll do it."
"Haha …" Ling Tian almost laughed out loud. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people here, he would have held his stomach and laughed crazily. "Ah Jian, you are so cute."
After laughing, Ling Tian said seriously, "Ah Jian, let's not talk about other things first, but your marriage needs to be settled as soon as possible. No matter what, he had to leave behind a legacy for his ancestors. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you're still single after the world is at peace, don't blame me for randomly matching you up. It won't be too excessive. At most, I'll give you ten wives. "
Ling Jian's face suddenly wrinkled. With a bitter face, he said, "Young Master, give me a few more years. I'm still young. There's no need to be so anxious …"
Ling Tian stared at him and said, "Give me a few more years? You're still young? You can say this to anyone but me. I reckon that in a few years, my son and daughter will grow up. I still want to arrange a marriage with you. "
Ling Jian's spirit was lifted. He said, "Then I have to hurry. For the sake of Young Master's princesses, I have to give birth to a few more sons."
Ling Tian said angrily, "Nonsense. I have eight sons. You should quickly give birth to a bunch of daughters for my sons to be their wives."
The two of them burst out into laughter.
A loud explosion sounded, followed by a muffled groan. Yu ZhiQing of the Yu Family had a mouth full of blood as he staggered back seven to eight feet, sitting on the ground. Shui WuHen of the Shui Family was already lying on the ground, motionless.
Victory and defeat had been decided. One injured, one dead!
The one who died was naturally a clean death. However, the victor did not have it easy either. From Ling Tian's point of view, this Yu Zhi Qing would probably never have the chance to use martial arts again!
"What's the point of this?" Ling Tian sighed. "If it was in the past, there would at least be two pieces of Heaven's Heart Jade as the wager. The winner would be able to study it for sixty years. But now, why? The Heaven's Heart Jade is gone, and they are still fighting to the death. "
"The Heaven's Heart Jade is gone?" Ling Jian was taken aback. "How did Young Master know?"
Ling Tian snorted, "Because the Heaven's Heart Jade was gone in my hands, turning into a pile of jade powder. Even the benefits within it belong to this Young Master. Thus, I naturally know more than anyone else."
Ling Jian laughed and quickly shut his mouth.
Another person from each of the two families went up and the battle resumed.
Ling Tian furrowed his brows and said, "This so called generational battle is really uninteresting. Only the battle between BingYan and QianRou can make me stare. The battle between Shui WuBo and Yu ManLou will probably be interesting to watch. As for the rest … there is no point in watching it."
Ling Jian nodded his head in agreement and said uninterestedly, "After fighting for so long, so few people have died. It is really boring." Ling Tian stared at Ah Jian. Indeed, Ah Jian had his own opinion and it was extremely domineering!
The sky was getting gloomier and gloomier. Thick black clouds seemed as if they were about to fall from the sky. The moist wind was also blowing. The battle between the experts sent by the two families was getting more and more bloody. In less than four hours, there had already been five deaths.
The Shui Family had two victories and three defeats with the Yu Family having a slight advantage. However, Yu ManLou's face was extremely gloomy and it was as though he was about to explode. In comparison, Shui ManKong, who had suffered the greatest losses, was all smiles as though he was not bothered by the situation at all.
This scene caused everyone to be greatly puzzled. Why was it that the winner was unhappy, yet the loser had a complacent appearance?
Yu ManLou never expected that their losses would be so great!
According to the records of the past, the Shui and Yu Families would always keep their trump cards hidden and only send out a small number of their elites. Thus, the results of the two families would always be on par. Only in the crucial battles would they have to fight a tough battle to determine the victor. But sometimes, they would rather admit defeat than send all of their experts to the frontlines. After all, they still had a thousand years of foundation to take care of. If all of their experts were to go all out, they would probably be swallowed up by the other powers after the generational battle.
Everything in his memory couldn't be compared to the battle in front of him at all! The Shui Family's actions were too strange! They had sent out all of their main forces without holding back at all!
Could it be that the Shui Family did not intend to continue living in the future? Weren't they afraid that they would be replaced by other families after the generational battle?
Yu ManLou was extremely depressed and felt as though he had really miscalculated something. But no matter how he thought about it, he was still unable to figure out what he had missed out on. But if they were to continue fighting based on the current situation, the Shui Family would definitely suffer great losses. Out of the ten experts that they sent out, there would definitely not be more than four who could return alive. Even if four of them could return alive, they would be crippled! Such a price was something that even the Shui Family with their thousand years of foundation would not be able to bear. In fact, the Shui Family might not be able to recover from such a setback!
But …
Yu ManLou was also unable to bear such a price! Out of the ten experts that the Yu Family had sent out this time, every single one of them was a top-notch expert. Their combined strength would definitely surpass the Shui Family by a level. However, in such a battle of life and death, there would at most be three of them who would have the confidence to escape unscathed! As for the other seven, even if they didn't die, they would be crippled. The gamble with Ling Tian was right in front of his eyes. Even with the many years of accumulation that Tamago had, Yu ManLou would definitely not be able to bear such a huge loss. Furthermore, he was not willing to bear such a huge loss!
One had to know that losing a gold jade expert of this level would require at least twenty years of effort to nurture another one. Right now, there were only four years left until the final battle. And this was under the premise that Ling Tian did not go back on his words. If Ling Tian felt that his wings were fully grown and decided to break the bet, the battle would definitely start. If that was the case, Tamago would have no one to use!
Could it be that the Shui Family was aiming for him to compete with Ling Tian for the throne and thought that he would not dare to go all out? As long as they were forceful, he would definitely not dare to go all out. Thus, they did not hesitate to send out their strongest lineup?! If that was the case, how should he deal with them?! Could it be that the Shui Family really had such a discerning expert?! Yu ManLou could not help but fall into deep thought!
Looking at the Shui Family opposite him with a gloomy face, Shui ManKong's cousins all had similar expressions on their faces. Opposite them, Shui ManKong had a carefree expression on his face without the slightest bit of anxiousness. Behind Shui ManKong, there were five to six white-robed old men seated peacefully. Beside them, there were two robust young men.
Yu ManLou was startled. At this moment, he realized something, something extremely important! Everything was clear now. Because in this battle, Shui ManKong's side did not send anyone out to fight! Everyone who fought was from Shui WuBo's side or Shui ManKong's side.
A struggle for power!
With Yu ManLou's intellect, he immediately understood that it was not because of the brilliance of the Shui Family's leadership. Instead, it was a struggle for power within the Shui Family! While Yu ManLou understood what was going on, he could only grit his teeth in anger! He felt as though his hair was standing on end with the situation of the Shui Family. We are obviously a family, so why are you all fighting amongst yourselves?! What is there to fight about?! Isn't it good to work together and seek for everyone's happiness? That way, your Shui Family will be able to remain standing and our Tamago will be able to preserve our strength. Furthermore, we will be able to survive this generational battle and fulfill the wishes of our ancestors. How good is that?
It is fine if you all are not united, but you actually started an internal struggle for power during the thousand-year-old feud! Isn't this the same as digging your own grave?! The most infuriating thing is that you even dragged our Tamago down with you!
For the first time in his life, Yu ManLou, as the family head of an enemy of the Shui Family, was actually angered by the unfilial actions of the Shui Family! Too prodigal! Too unfilial! If you all cause the fall of the Shui Family, how are you going to face your ancestors in the afterlife?! Yu ManLou almost wanted to scold them!
It is fine if you all want to fight amongst yourselves, but you all actually want to use our Tamago's battle as a wager! You all want this seat to accompany you in sacrificing our men, and all of them are top-notch experts …
But right before I am about to meet my greatest enemy, all of you actually chose to cause a ruckus …
F * * k!
What is this bunch of bastards from the Shui Family!
Yu ManLou cursed under his breath in anger.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" By the side, Yu ManTang's thoughts were definitely not inferior to Yu ManLou's. Naturally, he also noticed the abnormality in the Shui Family. With a worried expression, he said, "Big brother, I'm afraid that something is amiss. The Shui Family seems to be having an internal strife. If it was during normal times, it would still be fine. But at this critical juncture, they are willing to go all out. I'm afraid that we will suffer greatly!"
Yu ManLou's face darkened as he said with depression, "That's right! This bunch of trash is really a bunch of scoundrels! A bunch of useless b * stards! Now that they are causing such a ruckus, we will not only suffer greatly, but we will also suffer greatly. For them to start an internal strife at such a time, isn't it obvious that they want us, the people of Tamago, to die with them? "
"Big brother, the arrow is already nocked and we have no choice but to release it. Since this battle is already unsalvageable, we might as well cut the Gordian knot and take down the remaining four battles. As long as we send out third brother, the First Elder, and I, we will definitely be able to win and retreat safely. After that, we will switch out the remaining five people." Yu ManTang's eyes shone with wisdom, "As long as we can preserve our strength, it doesn't matter even if we have to disrupt our original plan! If we send out the people we have already prepared, I'm afraid … "
"That's right, I will personally fight against Shui WuBo for the final battle." Yu ManLou looked at Yu ManTang apologetically, "Second brother, as for BingYan's battle …"
Yu ManTang's face contorted in pain as he said with a hoarse voice, "Big brother … can't BingYan be switched out?"
Yu ManLou's eagle eyes flashed and he muttered under his breath, "… I won't!"
A trace of anger flashed past the depths of Yu ManTang's eyes as he lowered his head and retreated silently. The reason why he made such a suggestion was because he wanted to protect his daughter. However, he never expected that Yu ManLou would still insist on it! At this moment, Yu ManTang felt true despair towards his big brother!
Yu ManLou looked at his second brother retreating and a strange light flashed past his eyes. He then turned around and said, "Third brother, it's your turn this time. Big brother wishes you a victory. However, that Shui ManCheng … try not to take his life. "
Yu ManTian was looking around in boredom when he heard that and was elated. He walked out with a smile, "Big brother, don't worry! Watch me turn that old b * st * rd into a dead turtle! "He then paused for a moment," Why? "
"No reason!" Yu ManLou was not in the mood to explain and glared at him, "I told you not to kill him so don't kill him. Why do you have so many whys?" He then nodded his head and walked towards Ye QingChen.
It was obvious that Shui ManCheng and Shui ManKong were competing with each other. How could Yu ManLou bear to kill him at this moment? Wouldn't it save him a lot of trouble when both sides were heavily injured? However, even if he told Yu ManTian about his thoughts, Yu ManTian probably wouldn't understand in a short period of time. Thus, he decided not to explain.
Yu ManTian's stomach began to churn with dissatisfaction and he spat out a mouthful of saliva, "Why should I not kill him just because you say so? This daddy here can't even ask why? Third Master wants to kill that darn old fellow! So what? He actually dares to call himself Third Master? He must be tired of living! "
At this moment, the stage announced, "Tamago's representative, Yu ManTian. Shui ManCheng's representative, Shui ManCheng."
Laughing weirdly, Third Master Yu walked out with a majestic gait. His face was filled with needle-like whiskers, and his entire head was like a porcupine with spikes bursting out of it. Yu ManTian let out a thunderous laughter and said with disdain, "Little third brother of the Shui Family, hurry up and scram out for this Third Master! Today, this Third Master will let the world know that there is a huge difference between a Third Master and a little third brother! Only a heroic figure like this daddy is worthy of being called Third Master! As for a despicable person like you, calling you a little third brother is already praising you! "
Shui ManCheng, who was dressed in martial attire, was angered to the point a mouthful of blood almost spurted out from his throat. "Yu ManTian, I will spit out your …" Before he could finish his words, Third Master Yu had already charged over like a bull. His hands were moving up and down as though he was prepared to perish together with Shui ManTian.
Shui ManCheng was given a fright and he quickly dodged to the side. However, he suddenly realized that there were countless afterimages of kicks in front of him!
Yu ManTian knew that Shui ManCheng would definitely be afraid of death. Thus, he decided to gain the upper hand with a show of strength. Following that, he began to execute his most prized kick technique.
Shui ManCheng was also a top-notch expert and he forcefully stabilized his state of mind and fought steadily, countering each and every move that came his way.
"Third Master has truly grown some foresight." Ling Jian immediately saw through Yu ManCheng's intentions. "Such a method is the best way to deal with someone like Shui ManCheng who is afraid of death."
"That's right." Ling Tian stroked his chin as he looked at Yu ManTian who was roaring and jumping around the city with interest. He then said with some surprise, "He actually knows how to make use of strategy and tactics! Tsk tsk, he is truly smart. "
"However, his martial arts have improved by quite a bit. If we were to use Tamago's martial arts to calculate, he should have already reached the middle Gold Jade level." Ling Jian had a look of reminiscence in his eyes. "Third Master Yu is actually a rather good person. He gets along well with me, Ling Chi, Feng, Yun, Lei, Dian, and everyone else. Thinking about how we will definitely be enemies with him in the future, and who knows if we might even meet him on the battlefield, I'm afraid that I will feel some reluctance in my heart."
"Reluctance?" Ling Tian looked at Ling Jian doubtfully. He never expected that these words would actually come out from Ling Jian's mouth. "Since you can't bear to, what should you do?"
Ling Jian's eyes twitched in pain and he said with a dull look, "It's precisely because I can't bear to, that I will definitely be the first one to bear the consequences when we meet on the battlefield!"
"Why is that?" Ling Tian asked without any change in his expression.
"Because if I can't bear to, it might cause even more of my brothers to be in mortal danger. That's why I have to be the first one to bear the consequences." Ling Jian said calmly.
