191: Declaration of War

Inside the Xiao Family.

At this moment, the people of the Xiao Family were invigorated, their fighting spirit soaring to the sky, as countless direct and collateral disciples of the Xiao Family lined up neatly, training vigorously, their deafening shouts echoing through the clouds.

The situation was rapidly changing, and all major families were preparing for war, ready for a conflict that could erupt at any moment.

And a few months ago, the news that the Nangong Family announced its support for the Xiao Family undoubtedly gave the vast number of Xiao Family disciples an extremely powerful boost.

However, unlike the tension of the entire Xiao Family disciples, Mu Wuchen, who was at the center of the vortex, remained as calm as an ancient well.

At this moment, he was in the System World…

Swinging on a swing.

That’s right, swinging on a swing.

During this period, he found that Xiao Ziyan was simply too tired.

The Xiao Family was Xiao Ziyan’s home, and Mu Wuchen was the person she could most rely on and be close to; she hoped to handle everything well.

Therefore, during this time, Xiao Ziyan had been working tirelessly between the Xiao Family members and Mu Wuchen, personally handling everything, fearing that some people in the Xiao Family might make mistakes and displease Mu Wuchen.

But in fact, Mu Wuchen didn’t care about any of this.

In his opinion, the victory of this game was only a matter of time.

With the little fox’s current strength, even though she had only recently broken through to the Demon Venerable Realm, she was not afraid even if the opposing side also had Supreme Realm experts, or even Late Supreme Realm human cultivators.

What’s more, he also had a ten-day experience coupon for the Six Paths Demon Lord!

Mu Wuchen estimated that this item was produced by the System, and even an ordinary Great Emperor might not be his opponent.

And Xiao Ziyan was actually still young, but she bore many things she didn’t need to bear.

So Mu Wuchen simply decided that she should rest well in the System World during this period.

He even specifically took out a lot of time to make up for the girlish…

Time… that had been violently destroyed by Mu Wuchen for Xiao Ziyan.

At this moment, above the clouds of the System World, an exquisite swing woven from colorful clouds was gently swaying.

Mu Wuchen sat on the swing, one hand on the swing rope, the other gently wrapped around Xiao Ziyan’s slender waist, caressing her soft, delicate body.

And Xiao Ziyan, in a purple dress, sat on Mu Wuchen’s lap, burying herself in Mu Wuchen’s embrace, gently leaning her head against Mu Wuchen’s chest, quietly feeling Mu Wuchen’s heartbeat, her beautiful eyes looking into the distance…

As the swing rose and fell, the scenery before their eyes also constantly changed, from the sky to the ocean, from the sun and moon to the stars…

This was Mu Wuchen’s world; he could even pluck stars and embrace the moon.

A gentle breeze brushed Xiao Ziyan’s cheek, and her heart was pounding.

At this moment, she forgot the Ancient Domain, forgot the Xiao Family, forgot all the trivial matters; her entire heart held only one person’s name…

That was Mu Wuchen…

Suddenly, Xiao Ziyan turned her head and looked at Mu Wuchen with her eyes…

Her eyes were like water; she reached out and wrapped her arms around Mu Wuchen’s neck.

Then, she kissed him…

…

Unlike Mu Wuchen’s ease and comfort.

The Beichen Family and the Ancient Clan presented a different scene.

The Nangong Family’s stance this time brought far worse negative consequences than the Eastern Family’s earlier!

Although they lost the battle with the Eastern Family, that was just a minor skirmish.

But the Nangong Family was different; they were one of the five great families of the Ancient Domain!

The Nangong Family openly supporting the Xiao Family was a blatant slap in the face to their Beichen Family!

“Hmph, you, Nangong Zhan, refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”

“Since you don’t appreciate the courtesy, then don’t blame my Beichen Family for being ruthless!”

Northern Star Yuan Yi slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, thunderously enraged.

When Beichen Hao first arrived at the Beichen Family, Northern Star Yuan Yi and Beichen Shou personally received him, and even subtly hinted at the existence of the great figure behind them!

But this Nangong Zhan actually chose to be an enemy of their Beichen Family!

That Lord had given them little time; they had to take action!

“Pass on my order: declare war on the Nangong Family and the Xiao Family tomorrow!”

Northern Star Yuan Yi suddenly roared.

“Hold on—”

Just then, the Beichen Family’s Old Ancestor, Beichen Shou, suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked towards Beichen Shou, even Northern Star Yuan Yi’s gaze turned to him.

“In my opinion, declaring war on both the Ancient Clan and the Nangong Family at the same time at this moment is not a wise move; instead, it will make them band together.”

Hearing Beichen Shou’s words, Northern Star Yuan Yi’s face also showed a thoughtful expression.

“Our main enemy is the Xiao Family; are we only to declare war on the Xiao Family? Wouldn’t that benefit Nangong Zhan?”

Beichen Shou, however, shook his head and slowly said.

“No, no, my Beichen Family and the Ancient Clan will only declare war on the Nangong Family!”

“Firstly, this move is to concentrate our forces and defeat them one by one. Secondly, it is also to show other forces the consequences of offending my Beichen Family, to tell them that even the Nangong Family is not qualified!”

“This way, other families will have to weigh whether they can withstand my Beichen Family’s wrath before daring to seek refuge with the Xiao Family in the future!”

“As for the third point, it depends on the Xiao Family’s attitude. If the Xiao Family stands by or doesn’t exert full effort, watching the tigers fight from the mountain, then other families will also see the Xiao Family’s true colors, and naturally no one will dare to seek refuge with them in the future…”

“Even if the Xiao Family provides assistance, the level of cooperation between the Xiao Family and the Nangong Family will certainly not be as thorough as our preparations with the Ancient Clan, after all, we and the Ancient Clan have been preparing for hundreds of years!”

Hearing his Old Ancestor’s words, Northern Star Yuan Yi suddenly saw the light, thinking that the Old Ancestor was indeed the Old Ancestor, and the older ginger is spicier!

Since they had decided to tear off the pretense with the Nangong Family, they would no longer hold back.

Northern Star Yuan Yi suddenly turned to look at a black-clothed old man below; the aura that the black-clothed old man revealed was actually that of an Emperor Realm expert.

This person was a strong practitioner from the Ancient Clan, one of the five great families!

“Gu Yue, is Nangong Zhan’s fourth son, Nangong Tai, in your Ancient Clan?”

Hearing Northern Star Yuan Yi’s words, the black-robed old man named Gu Yue below nodded slightly.

“That’s right, Nangong Tai’s talent is average, and his status in the Nangong Family is not high, so he came to live in my Ancient Clan under an assumed name. He doesn’t know that his identity has long been discovered by us; our people have been secretly monitoring him for hundreds of years.”

Northern Star Yuan Yi nodded, his eyes narrowed, and he slowly spoke.

“Chop him down, and use Nangong Zhan’s son’s head as a sacrifice!”

Gu Yue’s expression became serious, then he slightly clasped his fists and nodded.

Northern Star Yuan Yi suddenly looked down, his majestic aura fully revealed. He scanned the crowd and commanded in a deep voice.

“Pass on my order: notify all major families to quickly gather their forces. Three months from now, declare war on the Nangong Family!”
