"Master Fa Yuan..."
Fang Yixin's face was somewhat pale, yet a trace of resolve remained. "For this battle, how many people must our Azure Departure Fang Family send?"
"Two late-stage Qi Ingestion cultivators, and four early- and mid-stage Qi Ingestion cultivators..."
Monk Fa Yuan pressed his palms together, his face filled with compassion.
And this time, there was no Xu Hei nearby to put in a good word for them.
"Heh heh... They mean to wipe out our Fang Family in one fell swoop."
Fang Yixin gave a miserable smile. "Wujiu and I are both late-stage Qi Ingestion cultivators... But our family truly needs people to look after the early- and mid-stage Qi Ingestion cultivators..."
"Ordinarily, it should not be so, but this is a major war... And your honored son has long since split from the family, so naturally he must be counted as a separate branch."
Monk Fa Yuan's expression was incomparably stern. "This is a major war, with harsh laws and severe punishments. Anyone who dares flee will bring execution upon their entire clan and sect... Of course, once the matter is concluded, the rewards will be exceedingly generous and never delayed..."
"Count me in."
Le Mingxue stepped forward and spoke softly.
"Alas... My Shang Xuan and Shang Qing will go as well."
Fang Wujiu sighed. "Then we shall spend heavily to hire one Rogue Cultivator. That should be enough, shouldn't it?"
He exchanged a glance with his old father, and both looked toward Fang Shanglin.
If not for this matter, the young family head certainly would not have escaped it.
But now that he was a cripple, he no longer needed to go to the battlefield.
Who knew whether misfortune might be the place where fortune lay hidden...
