The night descended, the perfect time for murder!
An hour later.
Xuanji Immortal City, the Zhu family headquarters.
*Swish~*
Figures appeared in the distant jungle of the Zhu family, looking at the heavily guarded perimeter of the Zhu family with cold smiles.
"Attack!"
Beneath the black cloak, Zhuge Wushuang's killing intent surged. With his long sword in hand, he instantly broke through the Zhu family's layers of defense, his peak eighth-tier Immortal Elder aura fully unleashed. "The hatred of a murdered father, the enmity of a destroyed clan!"
"Zhu family, perish for me!!"
As a roar swept through the entire Xuanji Immortal City, countless forces and powerhouses were jolted.
"What!"
"The Zhu family, under enemy attack~~"
Before this thought could fully form, the arrogant Zhu family was met with a sky-high battle cry. The thick scent of blood instantly spread, and in an instant, half of the Zhu family's strong cultivators perished.
"Follow me and kill!"
Zhuge Wushuang was too familiar with the Zhu family's layout. Leading the supreme powerhouses, he directly charged towards the Zhu family's forbidden area in the back mountains, and a horrific slaughter began.
A quarter of an hour later!
The Zhu family fell silent once more, with only the overwhelming scent of blood filling the air and wails echoing.
Undoubtedly!
At this moment, all the experts of the Zhu family were dead. The remaining maids and servants fled in fear, and in an instant, the Zhu family mansion was empty.
Not long after!
Xuanji Emperor Zhuge Yuan arrived at the scene. Looking at the annihilated Zhu family, he felt a sigh of relief. The plan had clearly been a success.
"Bastard!"
"Seal the city gates, search thoroughly!!"
Zhuge Yuan issued orders theatrically. "Who dares to destroy my imperial relatives in public in Xuanji Immortal Kingdom? No matter who it is, they will be made an enemy of Xuanji Immortal Kingdom!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!!"
As the words fell, the entire Xuanji Immortal City sprang into action. The four city gates were immediately closed, and the entire immortal city was turned upside down.
Of course!
This was all for show. After all, this would minimize suspicion on the Zhuge lineage!
At the same time, it would also minimize the impact of the Zhu family's annihilation. In this state of chaos, it would be easier for them to act and uproot the Zhu family's intricate connections.
For a time, Xuanji Immortal City was in turmoil!
And this was exactly what Zhuge Yuan wanted, because in this way, no one would have the energy to focus on the Zhu family's massacre.
It had to be said, this maneuver was very effective.
When various forces learned of the Emperor's furious decree, everyone was in a state of panic, and naturally, fewer people paid attention to the Zhu family's destruction.
However!
This time, not only the members of the Zhu family were annihilated, but the army commander Wei Yuqian and her entourage from Tongtian Immortal Kingdom were also among them. After all, no one recognized such a junior at the time.
"What!"
Upon learning that their surprise attack had mistakenly killed the Tongtian Immortal Kingdom's army commander Wei Yuqian, the elders of Xuanji Immortal Kingdom began to discuss again.
"The Tongtian Immortal Kingdom's army commander, Wei Yuqian, died in the Zhu family!"
"This... this is no small matter."
Zhuge Yuan's face was solemn, and he continued, "Ancestor Wushuang, it is highly likely that Tongtian Immortal Kingdom will make an issue of Wei Yuqian's death, and may even march their armies against our Xuanji Immortal Kingdom."
After all, Tongtian Immortal Kingdom had harbored ambitions to annex Xuanji Immortal Kingdom for a long time.
"Indeed!"
Zhuge Wushuang nodded slightly, then remembered something. "Right, this time, Ling Tian's fourth master gave me a formation, saying it was a gift from the Alliance Leader, and could be used in times of crisis."
"In the coming days, I will study this formation with all of you, and be prepared for Tongtian Immortal Kingdom's attack."
"Furthermore, Xiao Yuan, you contact the Xuan Alliance headquarters and ask them to send some people for support..."
With orders issued one after another, Zhuge Wushuang had already made the worst-case scenario plan, which was to break ties with Tongtian Immortal Kingdom completely and then go to war, fighting to the death.
"Yes, Ancestor Wushuang!"
Zhuge Yuan respectfully acknowledged upon hearing this, and then began to make contact with the Xuan Alliance headquarters. After all, he knew the extreme importance of this matter, because once Tongtian Immortal Kingdom attacked, they would use thunderous means against Xuanji Immortal Kingdom.
At that time, a fierce battle would be inevitable!
...
Two days later, Tongtian Immortal Kingdom finally launched its attack.
On this day.
The sky was clear for thousands of miles. At a certain moment, a dense oppressive aura appeared on the distant horizon, and dark clouds gathered, as if foreshadowing the signs before a storm.
*Rumble~*
A giant flying boat emerged from the clouds. In the next moment, it appeared in the sky above Xuanji Immortal Kingdom. The intense pressure even threatened to crush the ground.
The hearts and lungs of countless people seemed to be clutched by an invisible large hand, making it difficult to breathe!
Inside Xuanji Immortal City, there was a scene of shock.
"This... what happened!"
"Quick, look, that's the flag of Tongtian Immortal Kingdom."
"Tongtian Immortal Kingdom, why are they here with such a grand display? Could it be... Tongtian Immortal Kingdom is going to war with our Xuanji Immortal Kingdom!"
"I don't know about that, but it's clear that Tongtian Immortal Kingdom is not here with good intentions!!"
Within the immortal city, many forces and powerhouses were discussing. On the flying boat of Tongtian Immortal Kingdom, a person stood tall. This person's strength was at the peak of the ninth-tier Immortal Elder.
This level of strength, even in a fifth-grade immortal kingdom, could be considered mid-to-upper tier!
This person was the most powerful elder of Tongtian Immortal Kingdom, Wei Zhantian.
"Zhuge Wushuang, come out!"
"Give my Tongtian Immortal Kingdom an explanation. Why did a dignified county princess of my Tongtian Immortal Kingdom die within your Xuanji Immortal Kingdom!"
*Hoo~*!!
As these words were spoken, everyone present was greatly shocked. The Tongtian Immortal Kingdom's county princess, good heavens?
There was such a thing!
But... who dared to be so bold as to directly kill the Tongtian Immortal Kingdom's county princess? This was simply courting death.
"Wei Wudi!"
"Your Tongtian Immortal Kingdom is too audacious, coming to my Xuanji Immortal Kingdom with such aggression. What?"
"Do you really think my Xuanji Immortal Kingdom is a vassal immortal kingdom of your Tongtian Immortal Kingdom!!" Da Feng Novel Network
As the voice fell, Zhuge Wushuang's figure appeared in the arena. Then, his peak eighth-tier Immortal Elder aura permeated the void. Although it couldn't completely neutralize Wei Zhantian's might, it could resist a large half of it.
"Hmm!?"
Wei Zhantian sensed Zhuge Wushuang's cultivation level and couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes. "Peak eighth-tier Immortal Elder!!"
"I truly didn't expect that such an existence would appear in the small Xuanji Immortal Kingdom. Zhuge Wushuang, I truly underestimated you."
"However, that's all!"
Clearly, Wei Zhantian did not take Zhuge Wushuang's cultivation level seriously, because even if he had reached the peak of the eighth-tier Immortal Elder, it would not change the outcome of Xuanji Immortal Kingdom's destruction today.
"Heh, is that so~"
"Then you can try!"
Zhuge Wushuang snorted coldly, then warned, "Wei Zhantian, I warn you, my Xuanji Immortal Kingdom has now joined the Xuan Alliance. This means that behind my Xuanji Immortal Kingdom is the Xuan Alliance. If you attack my Xuanji Immortal Kingdom, you will be an enemy of the Xuan Alliance."
"Pfft~"
Upon hearing Zhuge Wushuang's words, Wei Zhantian let out a cold laugh. "Xuan Alliance, what is that? How dare it be compared to my Tongtian Immortal Kingdom."
"Is that so?"
Seeing this, Zhuge Wushuang narrowed his eyes. "Since that's the case, there's nothing to talk about. Next..."
"Then let us fight!!!"
