Chapter 433 The war begins
"You don't know what's good for you. All the clan leaders, let's attack together!" Ji Lin gritted his teeth at Ji Mei's stubbornness. He turned to look at all the clan leaders, his eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation, hoping that they would join forces to teach Ji Mei and the Li family a lesson.
The several patriarchs looked at each other, each weighing the pros and cons. They knew that if they didn't attack together, they would likely end up like Patriarch Wang. With this in mind, they all nodded, deciding to join forces. After all, in their view, preserving their status and interests was paramount.
"Everyone, charge! Drive the Li family out of the world of cultivation!" Patriarch Nangong raised his arm and shouted, his voice resounding throughout the room. A look of determination crossed his face, as if declaring to everyone that they were determined to win this battle. Following his command, the various Patriarchs, along with their troops, charged towards the Li family like a tide.
With their sights clear, the two clan heads charged directly at Su Wenxin. Their movements were as swift as ghosts, their magical weapons flashing with a cold light as they attempted to capture Su Wenxin in one fell swoop. Meanwhile, the other two clan heads lunged at Ji Mei. However, just as they were about to strike Ji Mei, Su Wenying, like a flash of black lightning, flew in front of them. His gaze was resolute, his expression stern. Without hesitation, he engaged the two clan heads in a thrilling one-on-one battle.
Hundreds of soldiers, unwilling to be outdone, engaged in combat with the other monks. Most of these monks had only recently initiated, were unskilled in magic, and knew only basic cultivation techniques. The soldiers, however, relied on their diligent physical training, making them a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. Their punches and kicks were powerful, each strike unleashing immense force, leaving the monks wailing and screaming, unable to fight back.
The battle reached a fever pitch, creating a chaotic scene. Shouts of killing and the clash of spiritual energy intertwined endlessly. Soon, only Su Wenying and Su Wenxin were left on the battlefield facing the four patriarchs. Patriarch Ji and Patriarch Wang had both lost their fighting ability and lay unconscious on the ground.
At this crucial moment, Nangong Jingming's ten teammates arrived. Entering the battlefield, they charged fearlessly like tigers descending from the mountains, quickly joining the fray. Their arrival instantly broke the stalemate. Working in perfect harmony, each unleashing their unique skills, they quickly and easily dispatched the four clan leaders. The remaining cultivators were also captured one after another by the soldiers' fierce attacks.
"Oh, I thought they were so powerful! We've already taken care of them!" Ye Xuexin looked at the man who had been tied up, his face filled with disbelief. He had originally thought that this battle would be extremely difficult and require more time and effort, but he didn't expect to win so easily.
"Why are you all so powerful? There's no spiritual energy out there. How did you manage to cultivate?" Patriarch Nangong was brought before the crowd, his face filled with confusion. In his understanding, cultivation was impossible in a place devoid of spiritual energy, yet these people before him were all incredibly powerful. This truly baffled him.
"You're already a prisoner, and you still want to ask us questions!" Feng Bolin glared at the Nangong Patriarch without hesitation, his tone full of sarcasm. He thought to himself, these heads of the great families who usually acted so high and mighty were now nothing more than their defeated opponents. What right did they have to ask questions?
"Wen Xin, release Patriarch Nangong!" Ji Mei sat steadily in the main seat, her gaze calmly fixed on the bound Patriarch. Her voice was steady but unquestionable. The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and everyone's eyes were focused on her. Everyone was surprised by her sudden decision.
"Grandma, are you sure? These are the people who came to attack us. How can we let them go?" Su Wenxin's face was full of reluctance, his brows knitted tightly together, his eyes filled with confusion and unwillingness. In his opinion, the Nangong family head led everyone to provoke a fight, almost bringing disaster to the Li family. Letting them go so easily was too much for him to swallow.
"Let him go. Patriarch Nangong didn't try to kill us, and he's not that bad." Ji Mei sighed softly, a complex look flashing in her eyes. She knew that Patriarch Nangong had participated in the siege, but he seemed to be holding back during the battle, not using his full strength to kill them. Moreover, from her previous understanding of the Nangong family, Patriarch Nangong, while working for the family's interests, had his own boundaries and was not a vicious person.
"Alright! Grandma said so, let him go." Su Wenxin curled his lips helplessly and walked to the side of the Nangong family head with heavy steps. He untied the ropes, mumbling softly, his face full of reluctance. After the ropes were untied, the Nangong family head stretched his wrists, which had become numb from the restraints. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, a mixture of surprise at Ji Mei's behavior and contemplation of his own situation.
"What is your purpose in coming to the world of cultivation?" Patriarch Nangong didn't rush to leave. Instead, he took a deep breath and asked again. He stared at Ji Mei, trying to discern their true intentions from her answer.
"Master Nangong, I came back for revenge. I want to take revenge on those who bullied me. Is that okay?" Ji Mei straightened his back, his eyes revealing a firmness and determination, his face showing an expression of "It is only natural for me to avenge myself", and he looked back at Master Nangong without fear.
"That's true, but bringing so many people to the cultivation world is a serious matter. I can't just ignore it." The Nangong family head's expression grew serious, his brow furrowed slightly, a hint of worry in his tone. He believed the cultivation world had always maintained its own order, and the sudden influx of so many outsiders was bound to disrupt that peace and potentially threaten the stability of the entire world. As the head of one of the six major families, he couldn't just sit back and watch.
"We do have another goal, but it depends on how you implement it." Ji Mei narrowed her eyes slightly, a glint of cunning in them. She knew they weren't bloodthirsty and wouldn't rashly slaughter anyone before they'd actually taken action that would endanger the people. But they also wouldn't allow anyone from the cultivation world to act recklessly and disrupt the peace and tranquility of the outside world.
"What do you mean?" The head of the Nangong family felt nervous and felt that the woman in front of him was unfathomable. His curiosity was completely aroused and he couldn't wait to know the answer.
"The barrier surrounding the cultivation world should be disappearing soon!" Ji Mei's gaze was as sharp as a torch, her eyes fixed on Patriarch Nangong, her eyes filled with certainty. Her words were like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves. Patriarch Nangong was shocked. This matter had always been a secret among the Patriarchs, never revealed to the outside world. He had never expected that Ji Mei, someone from the outside world, would know about it.
