Li Chunyang led the Li Family in a sudden rebellion, catching the martial practitioners off guard. They were all from Eight Corners Sacred Temple, and Li Chunyang was very familiar with the relationships between the factions in Eight Corners Sacred Temple. He naturally knew who would choose to defect with him, and who would not.
The martial practitioners of the Ma, Zheng, and Fang Families were the first to be hacked to death by Li Chunyang and the others. These three families were in cahoots with the Sikong Family. Even though their goal in coming here was to monitor the movements of Heaven Fiend Valley, they also shouldered the task of guarding them at the same time. In terms of status, they were slightly higher than them.
Apart from these three families, the Yang family and the Su family didn't have a close relationship with the Sikong family, especially the Yang family. In the beginning, they were like the Li family, leaning towards the Nangong family. However, when they saw that the Sikong family was powerful, they took the initiative to join them.
As for the Su Family, they were the third largest family after the Sikong Family and the Nangong Family. Ever since the Nangong Family was destroyed by the Sikong Family, they felt a sense of danger. They were afraid that they would follow in the Nangong Family's footsteps and be swallowed up by the Sikong Family. Naturally, they could not be too close to the Sikong Family.
Li Chunyang's sudden attack caused the martial practitioners to grab their weapons and jump away. They huddled together and stared warily at the people around them. Aside from their own family members, they could not trust anyone.
Li Chunyang's gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on the leaders of the Su and Yang Families. He said in a low voice, "Su Bing, Yang He, what do you choose? Will you join me in the Jiuhua Alliance, or will you stick to the Sikong Family and continue to be their dogs? "
"What dogs? Li Chunyang, don't try to drive a wedge between us! We, Eight Corners Sacred Temple, are like brothers. The Sikong Family has never treated you poorly! If we had known that the Li Family was such a traitor, we would not have accepted you in the first place. We should have killed you like the Nangong Family! "A Zheng Family martial practitioner jumped out and rebuked.
Li Chunyang laughed coldly, "Brothers? It sounds nice, but who would dare go against the Sikong Family now? If they are not dogs, then what are they? Back then, the Nangong Family did not do anything wrong. It was only because they threatened the Sikong Family's position that they were directly annihilated by the Sikong Family. Su Bing, now that the Nangong Family is gone, do you still dare to expand your Su Family? The next ones to bear the brunt will be you! "
"Go! Kill Li Chunyang, this traitorous bastard. When we return, we will uproot your Li Clan!" The Ma Clan's martial artists roared as they raised their weapons and charged forward. They did not want Li Chunyang to continue speaking.
Unexpectedly, before Li Chunyang could make a move, a person suddenly rushed out from the side and forced the Ma family martial artist back with a sword strike. It was Su Bing.
"Su Bing, what's wrong? You want to rebel too?"
"Brother Li is right. The current Octagonal Sacred Palace is no longer the Octagonal Sacred Palace of the past. When the Octagonal Sacred Palace was first established, its purpose was to gather the strength of many clans and help each other out. However, the Sikong clan can no longer tolerate anyone else. If they want to grow, they must swallow up the other clans step by step." As Su Bing spoke, he slowly walked to Li Chunyang's side. The Su Family's martial artists behind him did not hesitate and followed closely behind.
"Ever since the Nangong Family was annihilated, the Sikong Family has already taken three markets, five mines, and six profitable shops from our Su Family in just over a year. Now that they have such unsightly behavior, I'm afraid that in another year, the Su Family will completely disappear from the Octagonal Sacred Palace. Unless they are willing to be dogs like you guys! "
The Ma family martial artist's face darkened when he heard that. He said, "Su Bing, have you thought it through? Can you make decisions on behalf of your Su Family? Don't drag your entire family down because of your actions. If you turn back now, I will pretend that I didn't see what happened today. "
"Hahaha." Su Bing laughed loudly. "With your Ma family's style, will you pretend that you didn't see anything? If I let you go back alive, I'm afraid the first thing you'll do is report to the Sikong Family in exchange for merit. "
Su Bing paused for a moment, then laughed coldly. "I'm not afraid to tell you, but the Su Family has long since decided to join the Jiueastern Alliance. The Nangong Family has already sent people to contact us, inviting us to join the Alliance and help each other. The real reason I'm here today is to get in touch with Lord Lu Xuan, to show my family's sincerity!"
As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked. Even Li Chunyang and the Yang Family martial artist didn't expect this. Li Chunyang thought he was the first to surrender, but who would've thought that the Su Family had already made their decision. But this only strengthened Li Chunyang's resolve to surrender. Octagonal Sacred Palace was on its last legs.
Su Bing's words were true. In truth, the reason why Lu Xuan had stopped attacking and stopped killing these people was because Su Bing had sent a message to Lu Xuan. Otherwise, with Lu Xuan's strength, it would've been as easy as flipping his hand to kill these people. Why would he waste so much effort on subduing them?
Seeing that the Li Family had chosen to side with the Jiuhua Alliance, and the Su Family had already made their decision, the leader of the Yang Family, Yang He, finally calmed down. It was as if he had made an important decision. "Very well. Since the Li Family and the Su Family have such courage, then I, your little brother, may be untalented, but I will be bold enough to help the Yang Family!"
With that, Yang He led the Yang Family martial artists towards Li Chunyang and Su Bing. Li Chunyang was a direct descendant of the Li Clan, and his bloodline held considerable weight in the Li Clan. There was no need to even mention Su Bing, who was tasked with carrying out the mission of the clan. Yang He was the only one who did not have much of a say in the matter. However, he firmly believed that he would not make the wrong decision today. If he were to make the wrong decision, the worst that could happen to him would be death as an apology, which would be no different from dying by Lu Xuan's hands.
"Haha, good! Today, our three families have gathered. With the addition of the Nangong Family, far away in the Jiueastern Alliance, we have the power of four families. In time, we can compete with the Sikong Family. Brothers, now is the time to prove our allegiance to the Jiueastern Alliance. Kill! "
"Kill!" Deafening battle cries resounded throughout the area. It was three against three. Li Chunyang and the others did not need to do so at all. More importantly, the three clans had far more people than their opponents. It should be noted that Su Bing had transmitted his voice to Lu Xuan in advance and pointed out the positions of the warriors from the Ma, Zheng, and Fang clans. The eight warriors that Lu Xuan killed earlier were all from the three clans. As for the two Virtualized Realm warriors, they were the experts from the Ma and Zheng clans. One could say that the three clans had an absolute advantage.
Lu Xuan didn't pay any more attention to the infighting between the Eight Holy Temple families. With Su Bing's reminder, he had helped them kill eight enemies, as well as two experts. If Su Bing and the others couldn't handle the rest, then it wouldn't matter if the three families accepted them or not.
At this moment, Lu Xuan only had eyes for Sikong Dong. Today, he would take Sikong Dong's head!
