Chapter 724: Accepting the Challenge
It was clear that the God Race was unwilling to see the Yue Clan and the Skywing Clan continue fighting like this, but they were powerless to stop the hatred between the two sides. Skywing had already said that there would be no Skywing in the Law Realm, and there would be no Yue in the Skywing Clan. No matter what, one of the two clans would have to leave White Horse Constellation and the Law Realm.
Seeing how unyielding the Skywing Clan was, the important figures of the God Race could only come up with a compromise. They would have the two parties involved fight the Law Overlords of their clans in a three-on-three match, with the winner taking all.
Both sides would have two Law Overlords, and the parties involved would naturally be Xia Fei and Yuhua. Each side would have two Law Overlords and one Law Emperor. It seemed fair, but it was actually a hidden danger.
Xia Fei had already seen with his own eyes that Xiang Jincheng had a special technique that allowed him to fuse the power of two great laws into his body, doubling his combat power for a short period of time! He was a fifth-level Law Overlord, a level far higher than any warrior of the Skywing Clan. Although the Skywing Clan's Wing Killing Formation and wolf pack tactics were very powerful, in a one-on-one fight, no one was confident of defeating Xiang Jincheng.
As Xia Fei was thinking, Xiang Jincheng suddenly asked, "Why do we have to wait a month? Why don't we start now? "
Xiang Jincheng's eyes were brimming with killing intent. He knew that his side had the absolute advantage, so he was more than happy to start the fight as soon as possible to avoid any undue delays.
Xia Buyun remained calm, his left hand hidden in his sleeve as he fiddled with a communicator, seemingly listening to the distant voice of the God Race.
It seemed like a storm in White Horse Constellation, but in truth, this uproar had already spread to the apex of the universe, affecting the nerves of countless experts. As for what to do, it was no longer something that Xia Buyun, the patriarch of White Horse Constellation, could decide. It was all up to the ancestors.
Kukuzan coldly snorted. "I already said that this is the decision of the higher-ups. If your Xiang Clan is dissatisfied, you can go find them yourselves. Why bother asking me?!"
Xiang Jincheng choked on his words. His face paled, and he did not say another word. He angrily turned his head away, his gaze sweeping across Xia Fei from time to time. Xiang Jincheng hated the instigator of this incident, the person who had injured his brother.
Yuhua appeared very helpless. In the blink of an eye, Xia Fei had joined the Skywing Clan, and he had become the only insignificant person here, his fate at the mercy of others.
With a faint smile, Xia Buyun withdrew his hand from his sleeve, an inexplicable relaxed expression on his face. "Our Heavenly Wing Clan agrees with the higher-ups' solution."
Xia Chen was slightly taken aback, and then he furrowed his brows. Even a fool could see that his side was in a disadvantageous position. This contest was not fair. Putting aside the fact that he and Xia Buyun were of a lower rank than the two Xiang brothers, Xia Fei had just returned to the clan and had yet to grasp the Skywing Clan's ultimate technique, the Law of Speed. Even if he had a month to prepare, he would not be able to close the gap between the two sides. His side was doing their best to prepare, but the Yue Clan was doing the same. Who knew why the old ancestor had agreed to this unfair contest?
Xiang Jincheng's fierce gaze swept across the Heaven's Wing family. He said in a deep voice, "Our Xiang Yue also agrees!"
Kuzan was relieved, lightly nodding his head. "Since that's the case, I won't keep you in Abundant Water Pavilion. In a month, I'll send someone to invite all of you.
"However, I must say this in advance. This matter is only known to those present here. If word gets out and the higher-ups pursue this matter, it won't be a problem that I, Kuzan, will be able to resolve."
Everyone nodded, agreeing to keep this matter a secret. After all, this contest involved two influential clans in the Law Realm. It was of great importance, and if word got out, it might cause a stir in the entire White Horse Constellation.
…
Xia Fei worriedly stepped out of the living room. After all, he was not a member of the Skywing Clan, so he needed to find a chance to explain things to Xia Buyun. Alas, the Xia family were all fanatical and impatient, not giving him a chance to explain.
"Brother Xia Fei!"
Xia Fei raised his head and saw two people around his age standing outside, one fat and one skinny. They were none other than Zanian Feng and Lang Shunye, the direct descendants of the Dragon Ascension Feng Clan and the Ferocious Wolf Clan. They were one of the few friends he had in the White Horse Constellation.
Xia Buyun said without turning his head, "I'll give you ten minutes to reminisce. See you in the Wind Garden."
With that, Xia Buyun and Xia Xia led the old butler, Gu Li, away.
Xia Fei took two quick steps forward and bowed to Zanian Feng and Lang Shunye. "I can't thank you enough, but I must thank the two of you for your help this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd still be hiding in some unknown dark corner."
Xia Fei had already learned of what the two of them had done through Hyacinth and Moon Song's reports. Zanian and Lang Shunye had done a much better job than Xia Fei had imagined them to provoke all the young masters of the White Horse Constellation to take to the streets. In the Law Realm, where human relationships were scarce, it was clear that the two of them were trustworthy people to be able to provide such assistance.
Lang Shunye laughed very happily, slapping Xia Fei on the shoulder several times. "You've kept me and Zinian in the dark. Since you're from the Skywing clan, why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you have to endure all this? It's not that I'm blind, but to be honest, your Xia clan is really ruthless! Even more ruthless than the rumors say! Just like that, you flattened the two gardens of the Moonwing Clan! Our Lang family can't compare to such boldness. The old folks in the family are all sighing. I've never seen them so nervous in my life! "
Lang Shunye's words were very exaggerated, looking like he still had some lingering fear. Evidently, he had been shocked by the Skywing Clan's decisiveness in killing.
Zanian Feng smiled bitterly to the side. He had once thought of helping Xia Fei this once, making him feel grateful to him, and then taking Xia Fei in as his right-hand man. After all, there would come a day when Zanian would inherit Draco Ascension, and it would be impossible for him to not have a trusted aide by his side, just like how his father had Busey by his side.
Alas, despite all his calculations, he had never considered that Xia Fei was a member of the Skywing Clan. Taking a member of the Skywing Clan by his side? Now that he thought about it, it was simply laughable. After all, the Skywing Clan was an existence that did not lose to Draco Ascension.
Xia Fei appeared very sincere, thanking Zanian Feng and Lang Shunye over and over again.
There were not many people in this world who would lend a helping hand in a time of need. They clearly knew that Xia Fei was just a nobody, yet they were still willing to do so. Such a friendship was hard to come by. Of course, Xia Fei did not know that Zanian Feng had other considerations. The most important thing in the Law Realm was profit, and there were not many people as unconventional as Lang Shunye. It was because of his personality that he had been excluded from the list of successors to the Ferocious Wolf Clan.
Sighing, Zanian Feng said, "Actually, Miss Fuping of the Mu Clan also put in a lot of effort this time. Since Big Wolf and I are on good terms with you, it's only right that we do our part. There's no need for you to keep thanking us. Instead, you should be thinking about how to repay Miss Fuping. For you, even that old fox of the Mu Clan was mobilized."
At the mention of this, Lang Shunye immediately perked up, laughing heartily. "That's right. Since you're a member of the Skywing Clan, you're a good match for Mu Fuping. In my opinion, though that lass Mu Fuping is a little willful, there's nothing bad about her. You might as well take her in."
Xia Fei was speechless. Just what was this all about? Lang Shunye's habit of randomly matchmaking made him very uncomfortable.
…
Xia Fei stayed outside Abundant Water Pavilion to reminisce with Zanian Feng and Lang Shunye. Meanwhile, Xia Buyun and Xia Xia, the two Law Overlords of the Skywing Clan, had returned to the Wind Garden.
The elites of the clan were still aggressively waiting for news, ready to flatten Cherry Garden once the patriarch returned. Xia Buyun gave a few simple words and then had everyone continue to wait in the Wind Garden.
Upon hearing that the fight was over, the elites of the Skywing Clan were very unhappy, but they did not raise any objections. Everyone knew that their opponent was one of the Nine Great Clans, and the pressure from above was immense. At a time like this, the Skywing Clan had to be more united than ever. They could not give their ancestors any trouble. They also believed that the rules of the Skywing Clan would not be broken. There had to be a reason for this temporary pause.
"Lord Fifth, I'll have to trouble you to stay in the Wind Garden for the time being," Xia Buyun very politely said.
Gu Li hurriedly nodded in agreement. If not for the fact that his body had caused the patriarch some misgivings, the Yue Clan would have already been driven out of White Horse Constellation. At a time like this, he naturally had to listen to the patriarch's arrangements.
After slightly appeasing the elites of the clan, Xia Buyun and Xia Xia walked into a study in the Wind Garden and closed the door to discuss matters.
"Patriarch, what does the Old Ancestor mean? Our family has clearly gained the upper hand, so it's not beneficial for us to stop now. Besides, we don't have complete confidence in this three-on-three battle. "Xia Chen said with a serious expression.
Xia Buyun slightly nodded, "You're right, these ancestors have all considered it. We won't know what happened to the God Clan, but I guess the higher-ups must have given the Old Ancestor a lot of pressure. Don't forget, Lord Fifth is a criminal, and according to the Old Ancestor, his case is not light. If we want to protect Lord Fifth, this is the only way, or else we'll have to fall out with the higher-ups."
Xia Chen was slightly startled and muttered to himself, "You mean that if we want to protect Lord Fifth, we have to take a risk and convince the people of the Xiang Clan to lose. That way, even the God Clan won't have anything to say?"
Xia Buyun sternly said, "That's right. The Old Ancestor wants us to put in more effort and protect Lord Fifth no matter what, even if we suffer a little in a three-on-three battle."
Xia Chen suddenly felt a sense of heroism. Gu Li might not be surnamed Xia, but he was a member of the Skywing Clan. If he wanted to convince the masses, he had to bring out the confidence of the Skywing Clan and shut everyone's mouths!
Xia Buyun paused for a moment before continuing. "From today onwards, you and I will go into seclusion to prepare for the decisive battle in a month."
"What about Xia Fei?" Xia Chen asked.
Xia Buyun smiled. "Let him go to the Towering Wind Pavilion and learn from Grandpa Honest for a month. Sharpening a spear at the last minute won't shine. Although it'll mainly depend on us brothers' abilities, Xia Fei's cultivation can't fall behind. Since he can single-handedly cut down the Law Emperor Xiang Wu City, perhaps he can help us when the time comes."
Xia Chen was startled. "Go with Grandpa Honest? Can he take it? "
"Do you have a better idea?" Xia Buyun asked in return.
Xia Chen shook his head, a look of lingering fear on his face. It was as if this old man called Xia Honest had once cast quite a shadow over the Law Emperor Xia Chen, such that Xia Chen could not help but sigh at the mention of this name.
