A few days after Wei Bai received the Samsara Pill he went into secluded cultivation.
The moment Fu CangQiong heard of the news that You XiaoMo successfully refined the Samsara Pill, he started preparing. However, he was worried about his little disciple and he needed someone to help anyways, so he also went in.
Although the conflict between the Vermillion Blood Clan and Cang Alliance had become heated, if the Vermillion Blood Clan didnt want to face anymore casualties, then they wouldnt imitate any large scale battles. It was only after considering this did Fu CangQiong follow his little disciple into secluded cultivation, after all, they werent coming out without a few weeks.
But they still underestimated You ZhenTian.
On the fifth day of their secluded cultivation, the Vermillion Blood Clan suddenly increased their numbers and specifically targeted the major cities of the Cang Alliance. They destroyed the buildings and killed the innocents. If a city was captured by them, it would be burnt, destroyed, killed, to the point of being unrecognizable.
Of course that fueled the Cang Alliances hatred. Zuo Yan lead his fellow shidi and went head on against them. Although You ZhenTian didnt appear himself, his sons werent pushovers either. Before, when You ZhenTians four sons were fighting for the clan heads position, they would often get into heated disputes, however, now was a special time. Theyre teamwork was surprisingly good. Their four generals lead a large army against the Cang Alliance and they fought for many rounds.
However, due to the fact that they had no Sacred Realm experts, they were gaining an advantage. That was until Lady Yin appeared. Lady Yin was a strange women, her cultivation base was very high and because she was a Silver Dragon, she had a natural advantage. However, most of the time she stood in the back lines, help plotting for You ZhenTians schemes, thus, rarely anyone knew of her name.
This time, for the Vermillion Blood Clan, Lady Yin actually went to the front lines herself. She truly made a name for herself in the battlefield, being on equal terms with Zuo Yan. It was only then did people figure out that she had silently advanced into Level Twelve.
With her, the Vermillion Blood Clans morale increased greatly. In the past three days, their attacks were getting fiercer and fiercer, causing more and more injuries in the Cang Alliance.
Da-shixiong, we cant keep this up any longer or our loss is just going to get bigger. Fang ChiYao said to Zuo Yan, who was frowning, worriedly.
This was already their fourth meeting in the short span of three days, however, they still havent found a good solution. The True Dragon Clan didnt involve themselves in the South Continents disputes, but even though the Silver Dragons were a side branch of the True Dragon Clan, they had always been involved with the Vermillion Blood Clan. Therefore, if the Vermillion Blood Clan was to be defeated, they would face great casualties as well. It was because of this that they seem set on helping the Vermillion Blood Clan, constantly sending Silver Dragons over, even the clan head came over personally.
Yin Lie was the clan head of the Silver Dragons with a Level Twelve two stars cultivation base. With his participation, Zuo Yan had no chance. Zuo Yan also knew that they needed to do something about it, but with Shifu and xiao-shidi in secluded cultivation, he couldnt interrupt them now.
Da-shixiong, the only thing we can do now is to get their help. Seeing that he wasnt saying anything, Ye Nong couldnt help but make a suggestion. Even though he didnt say who, everyone knew who they were.
Zuo Yan hesitated for a bit but still shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, a disciple came running in from the outside. The moment he arrived, he shouted with a face of worry, Da-shixiong! Its bad! Its really bad!
Zuo Yan held him steady with one hand and asked about what happened. After that, everyones expression changed. With Zuo Yan leading the way, everyone else rushed out as well.
Where the Cang Alliance and the Vermillion Blood Clan was fighting, was the intersection of the two clans forces on a plain. It was commonly known as the Great Plain, it was an important fort for the Cang Alliance. If the Vermillion Blood Clan went passed it, all of the towns behind it would suffer. From their previous examples, they wouldnt leave anyone alive and once they get in, it would be harder to hold them back any longer.
The Vermillion Blood Clan knew about the Great Plains importance for the Cang Alliance, thus, every once in awhile, they would sent people over to attack the fort. By now, the plain had been soaked with blood. A patch of red over there and a patch of black over here. At this point, there have been at least twenty battles occurring during the past few month of varying sizes.
The bad news the disciple brought had to do with You ZhenTian. Zuo Yan had thought that You ZhenTian was fearful of his master and didnt appear, but they underestimated his cattiness. They didnt know who he received the news to attack when their master wasnt available, but no matter what it didnt seem like a coincidence. Since the only ones who knew of their secluded cultivation was the ones in the room, there must be something else at work, no one wanted to believe that one of them would betray the Cang Alliance.
When You XiaoMo came out from his room, he just happened to see the disappearing figures of Zuo Yan and the others. Once Wei Bai, his second-shixiong, and Fu CangQiong went into secluded cultivation, he and Ling Xiao, with the accompaniment of Xiong Xiao arrived at the Great Plains. They needed to settle the score with the Vermillion Blood Clan after all.
Although the Vermillion Blood Clan was just a side branch of the You Family, and You XiaoMo, the true You Family member looked at them with disdain. But it was still technically his fathers clan. He needed to return what was given.
Ling Xiao, lets go too. Once You XiaoMo heard that You ZhenTian arrived, he said excitedly to Ling Xiao, who stood besides him. Even though You ZhenTian knew of Fu CangQiongs absences, he probably didnt know that he and Ling Xiao was here.
Then lets get going. Ling Xiao said, taking a look at him. His eyes also sparkled, it was payback time.
On the vast open plain, the air was filled with smoke and tension, as if a single spark could lead a fight to erupt. You XiaoMo followed Zuo Yan and the others onto the battlefield. A small but pressuring sensation came from the other side of the Great Plain. The Vermillion Blood Clan members floated in mid-air, all ready for battle, emitting their killing intent. With a signal from You ZhenTian, they would be prepared to attack.
Even though there werent that many people, every single one of them was an expert.
You XiaoMo counted and saw that the Vermillion Blood Clan brought forty or so experts, with many of them from the Silver Dragon Clan. They were easy to spot as they didnt look completely human, since they had a silver horn attached. The one in front of the Silver Dragon Clan experts was Lady Yins father, Yin Lie. He was a force to be reckoned with, only slightly below that of You ZhenTian in front of him.
Feeling that was enough time spent waiting, You ZhenTian walked forth. His serious expression brought forth a feeling of stateliness and normal people couldnt even look at him in the eyes due to the pressure they give. After a while, his voice could be heard throughout the Great Plain.
Zuo Yan, if you know you place then you should surrender. I know Fu CangQiong isnt here, so even all of you gang up on me, you wont be enough. If you guys dont want to die, then dont resist, otherwise, once you are in my hands, dont blame me if I slaughter your city and kill each and every one of you! His shocking voice made its way into every single one of their ears. The obvious threat also made most of them heated in anger. To talk so shamelessly, did he still think he was the strongest in TongTian Continent?
You ZhenTian, I say your just a coward, appearing only when my master isnt here! All you deserve to be is a sewage rat! Zuo Yan snorted and with a roar, that was on par with You ZhenTian, he also emitted a powerful pressure from his body.
You ZhenTians expression darkened instantly, Since you dont want my kindness then dont say Im being merciless! After he finished, he raised his hand and said with a stone-cold face, Everyone, prepare to fight and leave no one alive!
Instantly, the Vermillion Blood Clan members let out a clear and loud roar. At the same time, they all emitted their power, with everyones forces combined, it was as if a tornado was headed towards the city. Zuo Yan expression darkened slightly and give his orders. From the surface, this fight wasnt in their favor but the Cang Alliance had a surprise.
Why did Fu CangQiong choose now to go into secluded cultivation? He wasnt reckless, no matter how he kept quiet about his disappearance, there was a chance it would leak out. He dared because You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao.
The twos arrival was likely a turning point for the years of fighting in the South Continent. The two sides soon engaged in battle. You ZhenTian and the Silver Dragon Clan didnt go into the array immediately. The former was upholding his status, whereas the latter was waiting, now they were still evenly matched.
However, they soon realized their mistake. Normally it would take three to four hours before a side showed weakness, however, this time, it arrived early by two hours. In the battle-torn field, screams of agony never stopped and lives kept fading. Fresh blood dripped from the sky, as if it was raining blood and the thunder were sorrowful cries of the deceased.
Almost no one noticed the slow disappearance of the Vermillion Blood Clan experts.
It was only when the forty or so experts turned into thirty did You ZhenTian sense something was amiss. After his careful observation, he realized a sneaky shadow had been attacking Vermillion Blood Clan members behind their back and using dimensional powers at that.
You ZhenTians enraged roar instantly spread across the Great Plain, Who is there with no sense of shame! How dare you sneak up on the Vermillion Blood Clan!
