The Kou Tian King's Palace, in the back courtyard. Kou Lingxu, Tang Henian, and Kou Zheng, the three people with the highest authority in the Kou Family, were gathered in the hall without coming out. The change in the Nether Springs hunt made the three of them put aside everything else for now, paying close attention to the situation in Nether Springs.
Tang Henian had the Star Bell in his hand, maintaining contact with Nether Springs.
But very quickly, Tang Henian and Kou Zheng's eyes fell onto Kou Lingxu. Seeing Kou Lingxu also take out the Star Bell, the two of them naturally understood that the person who could contact Kou Lingxu was not a normal person. They just didn't know what kind of person they were contacting in this situation.
After Kou Lingxu silently put away the Star Bell, his expression was calm. Only his eyes were drooping, giving people a strange feeling of suppression.
The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. Kou Zheng didn't dare say anything at this time, knowing that his father's mood was not good. He was afraid of saying something wrong and angering his father. Although Kou Lingxu didn't get angry at him often, once he did, he was still very terrifying. So even if they had questions, they still didn't say anything.
There was only one person who could speak at this time. Kou Zheng slightly glanced at Tang Henian.
Tang Henian was also observing Kou Lingxu's reaction. After confirming it was the right time to speak, he tried asking, "Your highness, did something happen?"
Kou Lingxu slowly said, "With so many experts suddenly appearing, Ying Jiuguang suspects that Lord Qing has secretly made a move!"
Tang Henian and Kou Zheng's expressions changed, it really was possible. There weren't many people in the world that could casually send out this many Vision Domain experts and normal people wouldn't have the courage to do this to the Ying Family. If it was like this, there were only two possibilities. First, Niu Youde had secretly joined Lord Qing and obtained Lord Qing's support. Second, Niu Youde didn't join Lord Qing and Lord Qing took the initiative to help Niu Youde. His goal was to not let Niu Youde die and make the Kou Family suffer.
No matter which of the two situations it was, to the Kou Family. It was not a good thing.
So it was like this. Kou Zheng said, "Seventh sister is still at home. Niu Youde is willing to die for seventh sister, so it shouldn't be hard for seventh sister, right?"
Tang Henian said with hesitation, "The key is how did Lord Qing know that Niu Youde would make a move against Ying Yang in Nether Springs? The fact that Niu Youde swore to take Ying Yang's life was a secret. Since His Highness had personally informed them, those families wouldn't spread the news. Niu Youde wouldn't spread it around. Without knowing this prerequisite, even under normal circumstances, there would be experts accompanying the Nether Spring Hunt. Who would have thought that Niu Youde would dare to attack? How did he know that the Ying Family would set a trap at the Nether Spring Hunt? "
Kou Lingxu was unmoved by this comment and continued to speak calmly: "Ying Jiuguang invited the Kou family's men in Quiet Spring to join forces and attack the ambushers!"
Tang Henian and Kou Zheng were left speechless. They both understood what this meant. Once Niu Youde ambushed the troops, it would be no different from the Kou Family joining hands with outsiders to kill their own people.
"What price is the Ying Family willing to pay?" Tang Henian frowned.
Kou Lingxu: "There's only one lieutenant position, no more."
The room fell into silence.
In King Haotian's manor, the lord and the steward were discussing some matters. The people around the pavilions in the area all consciously retreated.
"What price is the Ying family willing to pay?" Su Yun asked the same question as Tang Henian.
Hao Defang's reply was also similar to Kou Lingxu's, "They're offering a token amount, a lieutenant position. Our side is better off discussing this. I'm afraid the Kou family is the most conflicted. "
Su Yun nodded slightly, "But they'll still agree."
Hao Defang gazed into the distance with her hands behind her back, "With the help of a few more experts, we should be able to keep the situation under control!"
Phantom City's headquarter manor, in the Assembly Hall, Yang Zhaoqing summoned all the generals for a meeting. After delegating the task, everyone went their separate ways.
Everyone was a little puzzled, but they still carried out the order. Soon, clanking sounds could be heard coming from within the headquarter manor. The group tried their best to control their volume so that the outside world couldn't hear them. They brandished their swords and sabers to cut into the walls.
One of the pillars was forcefully dug from the middle. Although the crystal coin ore could withstand a blow, it couldn't withstand such a torment. Once it suffered a heavy blow, it didn't even need to suffer a heavy blow for the main beam to collapse.
It wasn't just this beam, but the surrounding walls as well. They were simply creating a dangerous building that could collapse at any moment.
Xu Tangran, who was accompanying Yang Zhaoqing to inspect from top to bottom, felt a little apprehensive. He secretly transmitted his voice, "What do you mean? I mean, Old Yang. This Phantom City's headquarter manor has existed since the establishment of the Heavenly Court. Is it appropriate for us to squander like this? Let's not talk about other things. Don't accidentally smash ourselves to death when we sleep one day. That's not worth it. "
"We just have to follow Milord's orders." Yang Zhaoqing said perfunctorily. He stopped and turned around, "You can also make preparations on your side. Once Milord's message arrives, we'll act immediately! Old Xu, this is a serious matter. Don't make any mistakes, or Milord won't forgive you. "
"Don't worry about me!" Xu Tangran patted his chest as a guarantee, then turned and strode away …
Eleventh level of the Nether Spring, Realm of Thunder.
Lightning flashed outside the tent. Inside the tent, Kou Wenbai and Kou Hu received the Star Bell's transmission almost at the same time.
Kou Hu finished contacting them first. He silently put away the Star Bell and looked at Kou Wenbai, who was still contacting them. His expression was a little solemn as he waited silently.
After contacting them, Kou Wenbai silently held the Star Bell in his hand. His expression was a little gloomy.
Kou Hu then said, "His Royal Highness thinks that Lord Qing might have taken action against the Ying Family."
? Kou Wenbai said quietly, "Father just said so."
Kou Hu took a deep breath and suddenly said seriously, "The Ying Family's hunting party was attacked. His Royal Highness personally sent a message to this subordinate. The evil bandits actually dared to attack the Heavenly Court's people. They must not be let off lightly. He ordered this subordinate to immediately lead the hunting party to support the Ying Family. We must capture all the evil bandits in one fell swoop!"
Kou Wenbai nodded, "I understand. Father has already told me …" He then cupped his hands towards Kou Hu and said, "This subordinate is willing to listen to the Great General's orders!"
Kou Hu supported him with both hands. He was a little hesitant to speak, but in the end, he still said with difficulty, "His Royal Highness has ordered that anyone can retreat from this battle, but Eldest Young Master Kou Wenbai cannot. Eldest Young Master must personally go into battle to kill the enemy. If he dares to retreat or cower in battle, his crime will be unforgivable. He ordered this subordinate to execute him in front of the formation!"
Kou Wenbai's Adam's apple bobbed, and he said with a sad expression, "This subordinate understands. Father has said so." He clenched his fists tightly.
He was only at the Colorful Lotus realm. Would the outcome of this battle be decided just because he wasn't there? Of course not. It didn't matter whether he was there or not. Was it because it was hard for him to accept that he had to take action against Niu Youde? Of course not.
The real reason was because he knew that Lord Qing might have directly used force against the Four Heavenly Kings. The real reason was because he was the eldest grandson of the Kou Family.
There weren't many people in this fierce battle, but so many Lotus Transformation and Prominent Divine Realm experts had appeared. Forcing a Colorful Lotus cultivator like him to rush into battle was simply forcing him to his death. But there was no other way. This was the Kou Family's attitude. This was the attitude the Kou Family showed to Lord Qing, and also the attitude the Four Heavenly Kings showed to Lord Qing. So what about him? Even if he knew that he would die, he still had to brace himself and go into battle!
If he dared to retreat this time, he would live a life worse than death in the Kou Family in the future. He might not even have the time to wait before someone would chop off his head and leave it in the Quiet Spring.
It was originally just a hunting game, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this. Kou Hu looked at the person in front of him and sighed inwardly. He raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, smiling encouragingly. "Don't worry, Eldest Young Master. Our family isn't the only one making a move. The enemy doesn't have many people, so our chances of winning are very high. I will arrange for my subordinates to protect Eldest Young Master well. Nothing will happen to you. Also, Eldest Young Master must know that as long as you survive this battle, His Royal Highness will definitely not mistreat you. When the time comes, you'll practically have obtained a 'Death Exemption Token' from the Kou Family. Your future is limitless. Even if someone tries to do anything to you in the future, a little storm won't be able to shake you. "
? Of course Wen Bai understood that the so called benefits were rewards. Only with effort would there be rewards, but the key was to have a life to enjoy it. He silently cupped his hands in thanks.
Very quickly, with Kou Hu's order, the Kou Family's camp quickly withdrew.
Casting techniques to separate the dark clouds in the sky, a group of people broke through the sky and entered the spring.
It wasn't just the Kou Family's people. In the Quiet Spring's tenth layer's illusion world, Hao Yuntian in the camp had a sad expression and Guang Sheng's head was hanging down. The two of them stood side by side, not even in their dreams would they have thought that the Quiet Spring's hunt would turn out like this. They actually had to charge into the battlefield of Vision Domain Experts and risk their lives!
Facing these two young masters, Wu Gan and Zhuang Zigao looked at each other and secretly sighed, feeling a bit of sympathy.
Very quickly, the two groups of people formed a path as they broke camp and charged into the sky.
Because they suspected that Qing Zhu had used force against them, it was only a suspicion without any evidence. The Four Heavenly Kings immediately worked together to kill the people that attacked the Ying Family at all costs!
Perhaps the Heavenly Concubine of the Guang Family could not imagine the consequences of her careless words.
In the fifth layer of the Quiet Spring, the battle quickly reached its climax.
Hiding in the dark and leisurely watching the battle, Miao Yi and the others were having a great time, especially when they found out that such a huge commotion was caused by themselves. The feeling of sitting on a fishing platform in the middle of a raging storm that had nothing to do with them couldn't be described with just the word 'pleasure'.
The Six Great Generals were even more delighted as they watched the battle unfold. They had long since found out that the Heavenly Court was an eyesore, but they couldn't find a chance to make a move. This time, things were going to be a little interesting.
"Tsk tsk …" With her arms crossed, White Phoenix would click her tongue every time she saw something interesting. She was probably a person who liked to watch a good show, as she watched the battle in high spirits.
It was also Yan Beihong's first time seeing such a large number of experts fighting, so he couldn't take his eyes off the battle.
Almost at the same time Xue Yu charged towards Yan Sui, the Six Great Generals, as well as Miao Yi and the others, shifted their gazes upwards, looking towards the sky.
Fifty thousand soldiers appeared out of thin air and quickly got into formation to surround Yan Sui. Almost ten thousand Transcendence Bows glowed brilliantly as arrows were nocked on the bowstrings.
