Ready for the Decisive Battle

(Long chapter.)

Upon hearing this news, Wang Xuan was furious. The Sun family was going to their Old Earth to kidnap his parents; they were practically challenging the limits of the underworld.

Old Chen said, "Don't worry, Guan Lin and some old friends from the Relevant Department departments know about the situation at New Star and didn't let them do anything reckless. They were warned and driven away."

"If the Sun family is so shameless, then I will also stop at nothing! They are a large and powerful family with many businesses and numerous clansmen. Every time I break into a city, I will completely destroy one of their businesses, and a lot of blood will be shed!"

In the afternoon, Wang Xuan visited the Song Family, mainly to use them as a mouthpiece for the Sun family.

When the Song Family learned that "Perverted Little Wang" from just across the street had come to their door, they became extremely vigilant, as they considered it almost like a night owl breaking into their home.

In particular, they knew that their own Direct Descendant, Song Qian, had once hired the Gray Blood organization to eliminate Wang Xuan in the Old Earth, and they were afraid that he was there to settle scores.

"Is Little Song home?" Wang Xuan asked as soon as he entered the Song Family.

Those present were immediately horrified, their expressions freezing. Was he really here for revenge? This guy had apparently detonated an important base of the Sun family last night; there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do.

"It's alright. Everyone has been impulsive in their youth. I've also had moments of recklessness, just to vent my anger and daring to tear a hole in the sky!"

Listen to this, and they still say nothing's wrong? They're practically threatening you with a knife to your throat! The Song Family members present exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts pounding.

"I really have no ill intentions in coming here this time." Wang Xuan got straight to the point, asking them to help him contact the person in charge of the Sun family, as he had something to explain to them.

The Song Family members secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it didn't involve their Song Family, they could do whatever they wanted!

"Please!"

The Song Family was quite polite, mainly because they had felt a bit guilty earlier. Two middle-aged men and three young men and women, all direct descendants of the Song Family, came to see Wang Xuan in person.

As for the old men, the core members of the Song Family, being proud of their status, naturally wouldn't show themselves.

The Song Family's villa area is very large and beautiful. It is like several ancient gardens connected together, with strange rocks, flowing water, koi carp swimming, and stone arch bridges that are very picturesque.

"Old Sun, we have a guest here who wants to speak with a senior member of the Sun family. Please forgive me for disturbing your peace and quiet..." Song Wentao began contacting the Sun family on the way.

He wanted to resolve the issue as soon as possible and really didn't want Wang Xuan to stay here any longer, fearing something might happen.

Sun Rongting, the true core high-ranking figure of the Sun family, was quite surprised. When he learned that it was Wang Xuan who wanted to speak with them, his expression turned cold.

"I'll only say one thing: our feud shouldn't involve my parents. If you insist on going to such extremes, then every time I enter a city, I'll slaughter an entire Sun family commercial building and wipe out all your businesses. In Jingyue City, you have a spaceship propulsion research institute, and the World Trade Center is also yours, right? Do you want me to cleanse you from head to toe?"

On the way, before even reaching the retro-style building, Wang Xuan finished speaking very impolitely.

The Song Family members were sweating profusely. This was the first time they had seen such a fierce person directly threatening and intimidating the core members of the Sun family.

Sun Rongting put down the Small Gourd beside him, his eyes cold and sharp. How many years had it been since he had experienced something like this? He had been reprimanded!

"I'll only say this once: if you have the strength and the resources, then come and kill me. If any more news comes from the Old Earth, the Sun family can expect to be in mourning. Every city I enter will see bloodshed!"

"Also, don't think I can't get into Kangning City. Perhaps tonight, or perhaps a few nights from now, I will suddenly rush over and meet you formally!"

After saying this, Wang Xuan hung up the phone immediately, not wanting to hear any more harsh words or nonsense from the other party.

Sun Rongting held the phone, his face so gloomy it looked like it could drip water. He had just been lectured and scolded, and before he could even get angry and yell back, the other party hung up. He felt a bit stifled!

"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively just now. Please excuse me," Wang Xuan said apologetically.

The Song Family members were speechless. What's the point of you scolding Sun Rongting and saying all this insincerely?

"Everyone has been young, uh, you're very young." Song Wentao pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I think there's no benefit in being in conflict with each other. If we can ease the tensions and stop the conflict, that would be best. Should I step in and mediate for you two?"

Wang Xuan shook his head, then bluntly replied, "It's a complete mess."

"I appreciate your kind offer, but I won't trouble you, Mr. Song, to go through with this. The Sun family has gone mad. They won't stop until someone in their core ranks dies, until they truly experience the shadow of death looming over Kangning City."

The Song Family members were shocked. "Is it really okay for you to tell us so directly?"

Soon, Wang Xuan's phone rang. It was an unknown number. He apologized and answered it immediately, afraid of missing any important calls at this sensitive time.

"I am Sun Yichen. You destroyed that base, didn't you? And you were the one who threatened my Fifth Master just now, weren't you?"

"Shut up! If you need anything, have Sun Rongting contact me. This is an adult matter, and a junior like you has no right to meddle. Get out of here and get lost!" Wang Xuan hung up and then blocked him.

Song Kun, who had previously contacted Sun Yichen in an attempt to purchase Old Chen's flesh and blood through him, was here keeping him company. Upon hearing this, his heart pounded violently.

The three young men and women of the Song Family twitched violently. Sun Yichen was a figure among the sons of wealthy families, and few dared to offend him. Yet now he had been killed by the perverted Little Wang as if he were being scolded by his grandson.

Soon, the young woman from the Song Family told her best friend, and then... some people found out.

As soon as the New Moon appeared, Zhou Yun was overjoyed and wanted to return to New Star immediately. He wanted to find some acquaintances to drink with and express his happy mood, as drinking with his three girlfriends on the moon was not interesting.

When Zhong Cheng heard the news, he told his sister, "Old Wang has gone mad, just like the Sun family. He's even cursed Sun Rongting, and he's determined to fight to the death!"

Zhong Qing said, "Do you think this can be eased? Wang Xuan only has one choice: to kill the Sun family until they are terrified. But he must also be careful not to alarm other financial groups, making them worry that he is out of control and see him as an extremely dangerous and unpredictable terrifying variable."

In Pingyuan City, Qin Hong was lost in thought. Had Old Sun been warned? This martial man was really going to take things too far. He sneered, waiting for the Sun family to unleash their power.

Ling Qiming was somewhat stunned. The kid who used to call him Uncle Ling had actually... come to this? Last time, when he spoke with Sun Rongting, he wanted to protect Old Chen, but was rejected without hesitation. Now, Wang Xuan directly reprimanded and warned Sun Rongting, leaving him speechless.

In the Song Family's living room, there were several paintings and calligraphies by famous people hanging on the walls. Among them, a painting of rivers and seas actually concealed unfathomable runes!

Wang Xuan was speechless. Even a casually hung landscape painting by a tycoon was a treasure; he really wanted to just take it away.

However, it was dangerous for him to have an out-of-body experience at the Song Family's residence, as it might attract the golden bird on the Golden Tree and cause him to be strangled. After thinking about it, he decided to let it go for the time being, since he was a law-abiding citizen.

"Is someone in the Song Family critically ill?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Ah, you could even notice that?" Song Wentao was taken aback. In recent days, Song Yun, one of the core members of the Song Family and his grandfather, had fallen seriously ill.

The old man was ninety-seven years old. The Song Family felt that he was nearing the end of his life. They had tried to prolong his life with New Arts before, but those methods were no longer effective.

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "I am not good at fighting or fierce battles, but I have some experience in prolonging life. I sensed a Death Qi, and that person will not last more than half a month."

The middle-aged man, Song Wentao, revealed a hopeful expression. Song Yun was his own grandfather, and if he could live a long life, it would naturally be of great benefit to his rise to power.

"Do you have a way?" He had heard about Wang Xuan's efforts to Qian An's life, but recently Wang Xuan and the Sun family had broken off relations and were locked in a life-or-death struggle, so it was really not appropriate for others to get involved.

Besides, Qian An is only in his seventies and still in relatively good health; who knows if that life-extending treatment actually had any real effect?

"You'll only know after you see it." Wang Xuan didn't say anything definitive, but his confident tone immediately told Song Wentao that there was definitely a chance!

He invited Wang Xuan to a Chinese-style villa to visit an elderly man who was bedridden and emaciated.

"If I pay the price, I can Extend Life by three to five years," Wang Xuan nodded.

"Please lend a helping hand, Brother Little Wang. Just tell me what you need!" Song Wentao said excitedly.

At this point, no one else in the Song Family could stop them; otherwise, if word got out that they hadn't saved their elders, their reputation would be ruined.

"As you know, I'm about to go to war with the Sun family, and it's highly likely that we'll have a bloody final battle, a fight to the death. Warships, superhumans, and treasures could all appear in this battle. If I'm too exhausted now..."

Wang Xuan spread his hands, looking quite troubled.

"We can make it up to you; we have some treasures at home..." At this moment, the old man on the sickbed opened his eyes and spoke weakly.

As for those who wanted to object, it was really hard to say anything. Song Yun was a core member of the Song Family and had accumulated prestige over many years. Most people were afraid of him.

"Send me some ancient artifacts, and I'll see if I can use them," Wang Xuan said directly. There was no need to scheme against this kind of person; it was pointless. Anyone who could live to this level must be very shrewd.

"Yes, but you can only choose one!" Although he was about to die, Song Yun was not senile and still had a lot of authority. Everyone around him listened to him.

"Alright, move the old man's sickbed to the Daoist temple in the back. When I Extend Life, I need to communicate with the gods. There are some things in this world that you can't help but believe in. People need to have faith; it nourishes the spirit."

Song Yun waved his hand, indicating that he would comply.

Wang Xuan believes that there is a high probability that there are highly skilled people on the New Star. For example, more than a hundred years ago, someone moved the Ancestral Court of Buddhism and Daoist Ancestral Court to the New Moon to suppress the Moon Crater.

In addition, the major conglomerates have moved Thousand-Year Ancient Temple and renowned Daoist temples here, possibly on the advice of someone.

Transcendent Immortals his dream, requesting someone to move his foundation? Or is there some mysterious master with other plans? In any case, upon closer examination, New Star is definitely not simple.

Wang Xuan even suspected that the mole within the Sun family might know about the behind the Great Curtain dealings and had an astonishing identity, but had been caught off guard and unexpectedly fell into the hands of the conglomerate!

Faced with this complex situation, Wang Xuan could only secretly accumulate strength and grow stronger rapidly, exceeding everyone's expectations!

Accompanied by Song Wentao, Wang Xuan first arrived at this Thousand-Year Ancient Taoist Temple. He had already noticed that there was Mysterious Factor permeating the place; otherwise, he wouldn't have said that it could save Old Song.

Last night, the ancient lamp was somewhat depleted, and he wanted to come here to replenish its Super Material and, incidentally, help Song Yun with his illness.

He sat there calmly, closed his eyes to rest, and directly projected his spirit into his body. At such close range, his spiritual energy could annihilate everything, so he wasn't too worried.

Unless someone suddenly fires a super-powered beam at the Song Family's Daoist temple at this moment, they can't kill him.

Inside the Divine Statue of the deity enshrined in the Daoist temple, there is a piece of bone, pitted and uneven, which was once struck by lightning. The outside is charred black, but the inside of the bone retains a strong vitality.

This is Ascension Strange Item!

Wang Xuan cautiously approached the Inner Scenery Realm, which had a crack, and saw blurry figures sleeping both inside and outside.

Finally, the ancient lamp was satiated, and the Super Material became dense again.

By activating the lamp last night, Wang Xuan roughly estimated that it could fire more than thirty small, dark red arrows that were specifically designed to strike the mind!

Old Song was carried in, and at the same time, a bunch of different items were brought in and placed on several trays for Wang Xuan to choose from.

He frowned immediately. The Song Family was not generous enough; most of the items they brought were broken, such as a small silver hammer missing a corner, a copper spear the length of a chopstick with a section missing from the end, and a Bagua mirror with a slight crack.

"These things are useless to me!" Wang Xuan was very direct. Some of these things were actually quite remarkable and should be amazing after being infused with Super Material, but they were damaged after all, and he didn't want the broken artifacts.

"Take some that are still usable, not the broken ones." Song Yun's expression was also somewhat grim, after all, he needed someone to save his life.

Soon after, Song Wentao personally delivered a tray with some items on it that caught Wang Xuan's eye.

A small, dark gold boat, about the length of a palm, with densely packed runes inside. He was intrigued. This thing, once infused with Super Material, would most likely be able to fly. Enveloped in mysterious runes, it could probably evade Satellite Heavenly Eye and other such things!

This is an ancient flying device, a Secret Treasures of incredible value!

However, he did not immediately take it, because the ancient lamp on his body was actually heating up and faintly trembling, pointing towards another strange object, and he was in no hurry to choose.

Not long after, Wang Xuan picked up a jade seal, admiring it and preparing to put it away.

"This won't do." An old man came over and said, "This ancient seal is a relic of our Song Family. It cannot be given away. Wen Tao took the wrong one. If you don't believe me, look, the ancient seal script on the bottom is related to our clan."

An old man in his seventies took the jade seal away.

Wang Xuan's face immediately darkened, and he turned to leave.

"Let's change the object; you can choose anything else." Song Yun sighed from his sickbed, adding that it was something left by his ancestors.

Wang Xuan hesitated for a long time before finally taking a piece of crystal. There was a faint mark in it, like some kind of paint.

"Brother Little Wang, can you tell me what this crystal is?" Song Wentao asked.

"A certain pigment might be useful when drawing talismans; I need to study it." Wang Xuan didn't want to talk to them anymore, and his face was grim.

The moment he put it away, the object trembled along with the ancient lamp, as if they were resonating.

"Give me a quiet room. I need to calm my mind so I can be in top condition to Extend Life."

Wang Xuan entered a room in the Daoist temple. He looked around and then used his mental domain to destroy some of the surveillance equipment.

He instantly took out the crystal, cleaved it open with his indestructible short sword, and with a whoosh, a beam of red light fell into the ancient lamp and settled inside its body.

Wang Xuan immediately recognized it: a terrifying true fire!

The wicks of modern lamps burn Super Material, and if such a flame were to appear, it would most likely be different from before!

Instantly, he sensed something was wrong. The ancient lamp, which had been fully fed, was nearly depleted of its Super Material in an instant, as it was completely absorbed by that faint flame.

"Interesting!"

Wang Xuan left the meditation room to prolong Old Song's Extend Life, during which he risked his life several times to go to the Inner Scenery Realm fissure to draw in Mysterious Matter.

On the fourth attempt, he finally managed to feed the brand-new antique lamp!

Even he himself was terrified. If he couldn't feed them enough, he was ready to end the session, afraid of waking the mysterious phantom in the Inner Scenery Realm.

During this time, he extended Old Song's Extend Life by six months, telling him that he needed to proceed step by step and that it was impossible to achieve everything in one step.

The Song Family remained silent. Old Song opened his mouth but couldn't say anything more. He could only pray that the perverted Little Wang would live a little longer and that the Sun family wouldn't kill him immediately.

That evening, Wang Xuan studied the ancient lamp in the hotel. He felt that its power had increased dramatically, and it was likely that it was no longer just a simple attack on the mind!

"Wang Xuan, the Sun family has arrived, preparing for a decisive battle with me outside the city!"

Old Chen suddenly called to tell him this news: the Sun family is finally going to make trouble, and they've mobilized their terrifying forces!

Wang Xuan was slightly nervous, worried that Old Chen wouldn't be able to hold him off, and instructed him, "Be careful, if things go wrong, run towards me immediately!"

"What are you saying? Patriarch Chen is just about to establish his authority!" Old Chen said in a deep voice.

"Well, my men have arrived too. I'll stop here. Tonight, we'll probably have a major showdown!" Wang Xuan sensed the unusual atmosphere.

Many robots appeared around the hotel.

What he felt was most dangerous was the area outside the city, which alerted him to something in his mind.

He went up to the top of a high-rise building and looked out over Jingyue City.

In the darkness, a figure clad in armor, with flowing runes that shone brilliantly and sacredly, stood like a god at the edge of the horizon.

"Wang Xuan, someone wants you to leave the city." A robot spoke up, then added, "He said that mythology is corrupt, and people like you need to face reality. Otherwise, you will be purged in three years. It's not too late to turn back now, and he is willing to give you a chance."
