The Li Family's Destruction, Tang Family Fort's Restoration

The Asura Warship sailed directly from the Ancient Qin Battlefield. The traces of war on it gave it an even more chilling aura. The long-cooled cannon barrels had a cold feel to them, making them awe-inspiring. Zhuge Xiang did not immediately give the order to attack, but instead let the Asura Warship hover above Shuzhong City.

"Niu Geng, go and fetch the people from Tang Family Fort. Today, we will not only let the people of Shuzhong City know the consequences of disobeying our Asura Sect, but also let them know that helping our Asura Sect is never a mistake."

Zhuge Xiang then spoke to Niu Geng, having hovered the Asura Warship above Shuzhong City.

With a stern face, Zhuge Xiang exuded authority without anger. Although the two had a good personal relationship, they were now, after all, in a superior-subordinate relationship. In public, he naturally maintained a professional demeanor; otherwise, wouldn't he be treating power as a joke?

"Yes, Squad Leader!" Although Niu Geng was honest and simple, that was just his appearance. He was actually a very smart person and naturally knew how to react. He nodded seriously, agreed, and led Zi Xiang down from the Asura Warship to search for the remaining people of Tang Family Fort.

"Other disciples, rest where you are and adjust your state," Zhuge Xiang ordered after watching Niu Geng and Zi Xiang leave. He then sat down cross-legged and began to adjust his own state.

Although all injuries healed and Qi Energy was restored as his level increased, nearly a month of continuous warfare still left him feeling mentally exhausted.

In a dilapidated Mountain God in Shuzhong City, a group of more than a dozen people were crammed together. The morning sun had just risen when a man and a woman, both disguised and bearing injuries, entered the temple.

"Tenth Brother, Eighth Sister, what happened to you two? Where is Thirteenth Sister?" Looking at the injuries of the two, the third brother of Tang Family Fort, who was in charge, changed his expression slightly and asked urgently.

"Third Brother, something terrible has happened! This morning, before dawn, the three of us sneaked out to buy Food, but we accidentally got into a conflict with the Li Family. They recognized us, Thirteenth Sister managed to hold off the Li Family's experts for us, which is how the two of us escaped. We must hurry and save Thirteenth Sister!" Upon hearing the words of the third brother of Tang Family Fort, the man called the Tenth Brother cried out with a mournful face.

"Damn the Li Family! We'll fight them to the death!" Inside the dilapidated Mountain God, some hot-tempered disciples couldn't help but stand up and shout angrily.

"Shut up!" The third son of Tang Family Fort, the oldest and most composed, shouted, silencing the hot-tempered disciple. He glanced around the dilapidated temple, his eyes filled with undisguised despair.

Since the destruction of Tang Family Fort, these once pampered Tang Family Fort youths have suffered the coldness of human nature, hiding from the Li Family's daily searches. Even former subordinates of Tang Family Fort have betrayed them, providing the Li Family with hiding places.

Now, the people of Tang Family Fort, having nowhere else to hide, have all come to this dilapidated Mountain God. They can only do some shopping late at night or in the early morning when there are few people around, truly living like rats crossing the street.

"Hmph, those people from the Asura Sect are truly unethical. We, the Tang Family Fort, did not oppose them, yet we ended up like this, while the Li Family gets away scot-free. I think we should leave Shuzhong City instead," some Tang Family Fort Disciple couldn't help but say, expressing their resentment.

"Shut up," said the third brother of Tang Family Fort, his expression still stern. "We are Tang Family Fort Disciple. When we encounter difficulties, we must naturally strive to overcome them ourselves. How can we think of relying on others? Moreover, the Asura Sect is currently fighting against the Alliance on the Ancient Qin Battlefield. This is a major event for us, but for the Asura Sect, it is nothing more than a trivial matter."

"But...".

The person who had spoken wanted to say something more, but the third son of the Tang Family interrupted him, saying, "Don't say so much. After all, the Asura Sect is Large Sect. I don't think it's very likely that those forces will unite to fight against the Asura Sect. Everything depends on how the Asura Sect wins or loses this time. Regardless of the outcome, I think the Li Family is finished this time."

The third son of the Tang Family's words were met with nods of agreement from the other Tang Family members in the dilapidated temple. After the destruction of Tang Family Fort, these Tang Family members had matured a lot and were now more thoughtful.

Asura Sect wins, they will naturally settle scores with the Li Family. Even if they lose, the Li Family will suffer even more wrath from the Asura Sect.

"That's true, but what about Thirteenth Sister? And there's still no news from the Ancient Qin Battlefield. I'm afraid that before Zhuge Xiang can cause trouble for the Li Family, we'll all be wiped out by the Li Family." Although what the third son of the Tang Family said made sense, the problem facing these Tang Family Fort disciples remained unresolved.

"..." Upon hearing this, everyone in the dilapidated Mountain God fell silent. To stay or to leave? It was truly a difficult decision.

Staying would mean living like a rat in the street, but leaving? For Tang Family Fort, Shu was their home. Leaving? Where to go?

Just then, a knock came from the dilapidated wooden door of the Broken Mountain God, and at the same time, a honest male voice rang out from outside the temple. "Excuse me, are the people from Tang Family Fort inside?"

The sudden noise outside the Mountain God temple startled the Tang Family Fort members inside. Who was that person outside? How did they know they were hiding inside all along?

"The sounds outside are somewhat familiar. I'll go open the door," said the third son of Tang Family Fort, his brows slightly furrowed. As he spoke, he stepped forward and opened the wooden door of the Mountain God.

"Third Brother, be careful," the other Tang Family Fort disciples whispered, Hidden Weapons Poison Tempering hidden weapons gripped tightly in their palms, ready to be launched at any moment to help.

With a creak, the old wooden door of the dilapidated Mountain God, amidst the deathly silence and tension, was pushed back open. Standing outside were a man and a woman—none other than Niu Geng and Zi Xiang.

"Niu Geng? Why are you back?" Upon seeing Niu Geng appear at the door, the people of Tang Family Fort secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, as if they had thought of something, several disciples from Tang Family Fort stared wide-eyed at Niu Geng and asked, "Could it be that the battle on the Ancient Qin Battlefield has already been decided?"

"That's right," Niu Geng nodded and said, "The Battlefield has already been decided. Our Asura Sect has won. On our way back to Yanling Commandery, we have sent an Asura Warship here, led by Senior Brother Zhuge with four hundred elite disciples. We have already arrived in Shuzhong City. The annihilation of the Li Family is just around the corner. Please come with us."

"Zhuge Xiang!? The God of Slaughter Zhuge Xiang is personally leading the team?" Upon hearing Niu Geng's words, everyone in Tang Family Fort was overjoyed. Even the most composed Third Young Master could not hide his delight.

With the Asura Sect involved, the Li Family was insignificant. Moreover, the Tang Family Fort family had secretly witnessed the deterrent effect of Zhuge Xiang's killing of the Nascent Soul Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator from the Qingxu Sword Sect. They had complete confidence in Zhuge Xiang's strength. (To be continued...)
