Chapter 715: A Gathering of Experts!
The White Horse Constellation had a very ordinary garden, Wind Garden, which meant Storm Garden.
Alas, the nearby residents preferred to call it the Garden of Madness, as this garden was the headquarters of the Skywing Clan, and the majority of the Skywing Clan were lunatics. The place where the craziest people in the Law Realm gathered was rather fitting for the name Garden of Madness.
Every rich and powerful clan liked to build large gardens to show off their wealth and prosperity. The Wind Garden, which was less than a hundred acres in size, was unremarkable in the White Horse Constellation. It did not seem to match the revered status of the Skywing Clan, but no one could look down on this garden because of that. The masters of the garden were just too shocking, and just the mention of the Skywing Clan's name would cause their hearts to tremble.
Less than a minute after Xia Zonghai crushed the Demonic Wings Token, the usually tightly shut gates of the garden opened from the inside!
* Creak! *
The ancient black pear wood gates let out a heavy sound as the two sides of the gates parted, and a white-bearded old man walked out.
Raising his head to look at the weather, the old man acted as if nothing had happened, picking up a broom and beginning to sweep the fallen leaves piled up on the street as he muttered, "It's time to clean up. It's not good for the masters to see their homes in a mess when they return.
The street where the Wind Garden was located was rather narrow, and there were mostly ordinary residences in the surroundings, as well as dark taverns and small shops.
The old man's seemingly normal actions immediately caused the residents in the alley to boil with fear.
Everyone ran around to spread the news. "Oh no! The Wind Garden is open! "
"Really?"
"How could it be fake? I saw the old butler of the Skywing Clan, Xia Fifth, open the door with my own eyes, and he's even cleaning up!"
"If that's the case, who in the White Horse Constellation is going to be out of luck this time?!"
"That's right! The Wind Garden opening its doors to welcome guests means that the Skywing Clan is about to start a war with someone else. In my opinion, it's going to be big this time! "
"Then shall we go and take a look?"
"Yeah, let's go. Hurry up and call Tang San 'er, who runs the medicine store, over. Let's all go ask about the situation and be mentally prepared. The Fiend Blade is unsheathed, and this is no joke!"
The news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Soon, hundreds of people had gathered outside the Wind Garden. Almost all the commoners within a ten-mile radius had come.
No one dared to speak. Watching from afar, Master Xia the Fifth acted as if he could not see these neighbors. He continued to sweep the floor, occasionally letting out a few hoarse coughs.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a sallow face appeared at the end of the street. He quickly approached the Wind Garden, nodded at Master Xia the Fifth who was sweeping the floor, and then strode in, his sharp eyes sweeping the surroundings.
"Who is this?" a neighbor asked curiously.
"Xia Lanshan, I heard that he went to study acting. He hasn't shown his face for more than 20 years. I used to see him when I was young." An old man said softly while stroking his beard.
A young man didn't know what was going on and asked curiously, "The dignified Heavenly Wings Clan is learning opera? Isn't he a little too lax? "
The old man glared at him and sternly said, "You don't understand. The Xia family is the most open-minded clan in the Law Realm. They never force their clansmen to do anything, doing whatever they want. They're not like some clans that force their descendants to learn the power of law, or else they won't recognize us as a family."
The young man still found this inconceivable and asked, "Since their family does everything, their combat power must be inferior to the other clans, so why are the people of the White Horse Constellation so afraid of the Xia family?"
The old man smiled and calmly said, "You blind fool. Though the Heavenly Wings are free by nature, their combat power isn't weak. Take Xia Lanshan, for example. Though he likes to sing, his cultivation has never fallen behind. He was already a Law Emperor when he left home twenty-some years ago, so he should be a Great Law Emperor at the very least!"
"Oh! A Great Law Emperor! "the crowd exclaimed. It really was the Heavenly Wings Clan. A random person who popped out of nowhere was a Great Law Emperor! This would be unimaginable in those smaller clans!
The old man had a smug look on his face as he continued, "Besides, the circle is afraid of the Heavenly Wings Clan for no other reason than that they're ruthless and crazy enough! Do you know why everyone calls the Heavenly Wings Clan the Demon Sealing Blade? "
"I don't know," the young man shook his head.
"If you don't know, go home and ask your grandfather."
The crowd roared with laughter, somewhat alleviating the fear caused by the reopening of Wind Garden.
Alas, the laughter only lasted for a few seconds.
One!
Two!
Three!
The members of the Xia family seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force, appearing one after another! In five minutes, six people had stepped into Wind Garden!
The Heavenly Wings Clan was naturally undisciplined. Usually, only the old steward and Xia Zonghai of the Law Enforcement Board were in Wind Garden. The other members of the clan were busy with their own things. Some sang, some refined medicine, and some refined poison. In short, the members of the Xia family seemed to have a wide range of interests and hobbies, and they all loved to roam the sea of stars. This was the first time many of the neighbors had seen so many members of the Heavenly Wings Clan appear together!
Their footsteps were swift, unconcealable irritation on their faces, and their gazes were as sharp as knives. They were like a pack of ruthless wolves that were slowly gathering in the wilderness.
Everyone realized that today's Wind Garden was different from usual. A storm was brewing, causing the air to become oppressive!
"Xia Wu! Another Law Emperor of the Heavenly Wings Clan! What did the Xia Family want to do by gathering so many experts?! Is the Law Realm about to be disturbed? "
"It can't be that the God and Demon Races are going to start a war again, right?"
The shock in the hearts of the neighbors grew more and more intense, and many of them were already sweating profusely. At this point, even a fool could tell that the Heavenly Wings Clan was about to go all out!
It had only been fifteen minutes since the Demonic Wings Order was sent out, but twenty-three people had already entered Wind Garden. Moreover, all of them were Law Emperors, and some were even Great Law Emperors!
"No way! The Law Emperor, Xia Tian, has also returned home! "
As a bespectacled, refined old man appeared in the narrow alley outside Wind Garden, the crowd was utterly shocked!
Xia Tian appeared to be very cultured, even smiling at the villagers before entering.
Alas, this smile was like a nuclear bomb in the eyes of the common folk! It had ignited their long-suppressed emotions!
"It's over! It's all over! This time, the Heavenly Wings Clan will definitely go crazy! "
"The Devil's Blade is unsheathed! The Devil's Blade is unsheathed! " Even the usually calm old man could not help but shout out, his mouth saying something incomprehensible, his old face indescribably agitated.
"Was that a Law Overlord just now? His bearing doesn't seem like it, "the talkative young man was still muttering in a low voice.
"Xia Tian, the Law Overlord, practices zen! How can his bearing not be good? "
"Remember, it doesn't matter what the Heavenly Wings Clan looks like or what hobbies they have. That's all a facade! Once you provoke them, even a god will regret it, because they're a bunch of lunatics! The craziest lunatics in the Law Realm! "The veins on the old man's forehead bulged as he said in a low voice.
The young man gulped. A Law Overlord was actually a zen cultivator? The people of the Heavenly Wings Clan truly could not be judged using common sense. Not only were they the sharpest blades in the Law Realm, they were also the strangest existences!
However, this was somewhat similar to Xia Fei. Besides cultivation, Xia Fei had also studied machinery and pharmacology, so he could be considered an erudite and talented person. Moreover, when he was not fighting, he would have a harmless smile on his face, not a hint of madness to be seen.
In the end, all of this was just an appearance. True madness was not something that could be hung on one's face but carved into one's bones, something that could never be erased! Those who were familiar with Xia Fei knew that rationality was just his appearance, while madness was his true nature!
The neighbors could no longer hold back, and they pushed out the oldest of them, Old Man He Gang, to ask about the details, to find out what the Heavenly Wings Clan was planning and whether or not these neighbors would be implicated.
Old Man He walked out of Wind Garden with a smile on his face and bowed to the sweeping Xia Fifth Master. "Fifth Master, you see that us neighbors are all a little worried. Is something big about to happen?"
Xia Fifth Master was the butler of Wind Garden. He was not originally a member of the Xia family, but because he had no one to rely on and had served the clan for many years, he had changed his surname to Xia. Everyone treated him as one of their own, never treating him as an outsider.
Xia Fifth Master straightened up and smiled. "It's nothing much. It's just that someone in the clan has issued a Demon Wing Order, so everyone has come back."
* Zing! *
The moment he heard the words Demon Wing Order, Old Man He Gang's face turned green. It was no wonder the experts of the Xia family had instantly gathered. It turned out that the Demon Wing Order had been issued! All members had to come back as soon as possible!
Xia Fifth Master looked at these nervous neighbors and softly sighed.
"The other party seems to be one of the Nine Great Clans. You should all hide." With that, Xia Fifth Master continued sweeping the floor. It was as if the Nine Great Clans and war were nothing more than ordinary words to him.
"Nine … Nine … Nine Great Clans!" He Gang felt like he had been stabbed in the back, his voice hoarse.
…
Dragon Ascension Martial Hall, Kuzen's office.
Experts had gathered!
The Four Heavenly Kings of Dragon Ascension, Salem, Kulanyi, Duo Caier, Busey, and Hall Master Kuzen — five Law Overlords were all present!
There was no clan in the Law Realm that could arrange a super lineup of five Law Overlords, not even the Nine Great Clans!
This was Dragon Ascension's strength! The number one martial hall of the Law Realm was not just for show!
The news of the Moonward Clan and the Skywing Clan's insistence on war could not be hidden from Dragon Ascension's eyes and ears. Aside from being a martial hall, Dragon Ascension also had the responsibility of directly reporting to the God Race.
The atmosphere was very oppressive, and the Law Overlords had grim expressions. Fiendish Blade Skywing against one of the Nine Great Clans — everyone knew very well what the consequences of this war would be. It would definitely be a rare bloodbath in the Law Realm!
* Beep beep beep *
The secret communicator on Kuzen's desk suddenly rang. Everyone raised their heads, ready to listen to the first-hand news from the frontlines.
"Speak!" Kuzen's face was cold as he spoke cleanly.
"Yes!" The black-clothed man on the screen respectfully nodded and solemnly said, "The Moonward Clan has begun to evacuate the Cherry and Plum Gardens, leaving behind only their strongest fighting force. Meanwhile, the Skywing Clan's Wind Garden has begun to gather the warriors of the Xia family."
"How's the strength of both sides?" Kuzen furrowed his brows as he anxiously asked.
"The Moonward Clan's three Law Emperors have all arrived: Xiang Bai, Xiang Wucheng, and Xiang Jincheng. They also have close to forty warriors above the Law Emperor level!"
Three Law Emperors and forty Law Emperors!
As a member of the Nine Great Clans, the Xiang family's strength was truly impressive!
It must be noted that the entire Yu family only had three Law Emperors, and Yujiang and Yuguding had both died in battle. In less than half an hour, the Xiang family had managed to gather such a powerful force, which was enough to show just how formidable their strength was!
"Xiang Jincheng? Wasn't he already recruited into the God Race? "Kuzen asked as he tried to recall.
"But he came back," the scout said solemnly. The scout said in a low voice, "According to the investigation, Xiang Jincheng was only recruited by the God Race a week ago and hasn't had time to register yet. According to the rules, he can't be considered a member of the God Race, so returning to the family to participate in the battle is not against the rules."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with the scout's analysis. The God Race was a super force, so they naturally could not participate in the storm in White Horse Constellation. However, since Xiang Jincheng had not been registered, he naturally would not be restricted by the rules.
