Just as everyone was preparing to set off, a group of people in different clothes walked out of the side hall and stepped forward quickly.
They were the guests invited by Situ Household for the birthday banquet of their ancestor. They included the heads of other families, the elders of the sect, and some top warriors among the casual cultivators. Now, before the birthday banquet was over, this happened.
A middle-aged woman with an enchanting figure wearing a fiery red gauze skirt walked up to Situ Xiong first. She had a faint fragrance on her body.
She had a "concerned" smile on her face, but her tone was somewhat deliberately close. "Patriarch Situ, our two families are family friends. Now that Situ Household is in trouble, I should help."
"I want to see who it is that is so ignorant that he dares to attack Situ Household! If necessary, the fifty guards I brought can also be at your disposal at any time."
As she spoke, she patted the shoulder of a black-clad guard beside her, indicating that she was strong enough to help.
But no one knew that she was planning something in her mind.
Situ Household suffered heavy losses this time. If she can help, the relationship between the two families will definitely be closer in the future, and her family can also use Situ Household's power to occupy more territory in the Central Continent.
Immediately afterwards, a burly man wearing animal skin armor also stepped forward. He was eight feet tall, muscular, and had a black tiger tattooed on his arm. He looked fierce.
He patted his chest heavily and his voice was as rough as thunder. "Clan leader, I'm going with you too! Situ Household's ancestor and I are old acquaintances. Now that Situ Household is in trouble, how can I just sit back and watch?"
"As long as Situ Household can use me, just ask, and I won't say anything! Even if I risk my life, I will help you kill that enemy!"
As he spoke, he deliberately puffed out his chest and exposed the scars on his body, as if he was brave.
But he was thinking in his heart that if he could take this opportunity to make Situ Household owe him a favor, his status in the casual cultivator would definitely be higher in the future, and he might even be able to get some scarce cultivation resources from Situ Household.
Other guests also gathered around, each one filled with indignation:
"Patriarch Situ, count me in! I want to see who is so bold and dares to cause trouble in the Central Continent!"
"I'll go too! With so many of us joining forces, even if the other party is at the level of ancestors, they will have to die obediently!"
"Situ Household's hatred is our hatred! Today we must make the enemy pay with blood!"
They said they wanted to avenge Situ Household, their faces full of "anger" and "loyalty".
It was as if Situ Household's hatred was their own hatred, and they could not wait to rush forward and fight the enemy desperately.
But no one knew that the anger on their faces was just disguise.
When the middle-aged woman in the fiery red gauze skirt lowered her head to adjust the hem of her skirt, a trace of schadenfreude flashed through her eyes.
Situ Household It may not be a bad thing for her family to die and destroy elites. After all, Central Continent there is already competition among the major forces.
When the man in animal skin armor turned around, he quietly exchanged a look with the attendant beside him, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This time he can not only sell Situ Household a favor, but also witness the battle of top experts with his own eyes, which is also good for his cultivation. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
The other guests also had their own thoughts.
Some want to take this opportunity to cling to Situ Household, some want to take the opportunity to watch the battle and improve themselves, and some want to see how many trump cards Situ Household has.
As for the so-called "anger" and "loyalty", they are just masks used in exchange for benefits.
How can there be true empathy in the world? What does the life and death of Situ Household have to do with them?
Situ Xiong naturally saw the thoughts of these guests, but at this moment, it was the time to employ people, and he was too lazy to expose them.
He clasped his fists in front of everyone and said in a sincere tone, "Thank you all friends for your generous help. Situ Household will remember this kindness and I will be grateful in the future!"
After speaking, he turned to look at the soldiers in the square and shouted, "Let's go!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Ten thousand soldiers shouted in unison and followed Situ Xiong towards the outside of the city.
The guests also followed suit, and for a moment, the roars of strange beasts, footsteps, and shouts were intertwined and spread into the distance!
The tribesmen surrounding the square were still talking excitedly, as if they had seen the enemy being killed.
But no one knew that a bigger storm was waiting for them ahead.
The clan members of Situ Household were dressed in uniform black attire, with the family totem outlined in gold thread embroidered on the hem, and they poured out of the family mansion in a mighty manner.
In front of the team were vanguards wearing bright silver armor, leading the way, and behind them were strong men driving giant spiritual birds. When the spiritual birds flapped their wings, the strong winds stirred up dust on the ground.
Even the air was filled with a chilling atmosphere, and the group headed in the direction of Ye Chen.
Their formation is really too big!
In the sky, thousands of spiritual birds with wingspans exceeding ten feet carried the masters of the family, and their wings streaked across the sky, leaving a faint trail of spiritual light.
There are also lion-like and horse-like beasts flying on the clouds, and the soldiers riding on the backs of the beasts are holding spears and wearing long swords.
Along the way, pedestrians huddled in the dark, their faces full of unknown fear, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.
Many people raised their necks and looked at such a huge team in the sky. Their fingers unconsciously clenched the corners of their clothes, and their eyes were full of uneasiness and fear.
You must know that Situ Household is the largest force of the Central Continent. There are not only ancestors with unfathomable cultivation in the clan, but also well-trained Heavenly Severance Army. Almost no one in the Central Continent realm dares to offend him.
If anything happens to them, they will definitely go on an expedition!
Situ Household is going on an expedition, which means that a force will be completely wiped out from this land!
No one can guarantee that the unlucky "force" will not be them!
After all, Situ Household has always acted in a domineering manner. A few years ago, a middle-level force accidentally blocked their way and was uprooted within three days. The children of the clan died and fled, and the end was extremely miserable.
If Situ Household happens to take action against his own forces this time and wants to eradicate them, then it will definitely be a disaster for them, and there will be no room for resistance!
On the ground, there was an old man with gray hair and a blue robe, leaning on a cracked ebony crutch, slowly looking up at the huge team in the sky in the distance.
When the majestic momentum mixed with the coercion of a strong man came towards him, his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
Even the crutches made a tiny clanging sound on the ground, and the wrinkles on his face were twisted into a ball, obviously in extreme panic.
"It's Situ Household!"
The old man's voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of fear, "What do they want to do with such a big battle? Are they trying to eradicate another force?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were several slight crackling sounds in the air not far away, and then, three obscure breaths flew quickly and landed next to the old man.
The visitors were wearing sect costumes of different colors. The first one had a sallow complexion, while the other two had solemn expressions.
They are all the ancestors of several small sects in the Central Continent. Their sphere of influence happens to be relatively close to Situ Household's territory, and they have always lived in the shadow of Situ Household.
As a small sect with weak strength, they also wanted to curry favor with the behemoth Situ Household, so they often sent some rare medicinal materials and ores there.
But every time, I can't even see Master Situ Household in person.
Obviously, Situ Household Lineage doesn't look down on their meager "filial piety" at all, and doesn't even give them the qualification to be a subordinate force.
Therefore, they cannot be treated as little brothers in a family, and can only live cautiously on the sidelines. It would be a lie to say they are not cautious.
After all, the people of Situ Household have always been arrogant. Maybe one day when they are in a bad mood, they will take advantage of these "obtrusive" small sects.
They worry every day that Situ Household will suddenly wipe them all out.
Now that they saw the formation of the expedition, they were all frightened. Each of them turned pale and even their breathing became rapid.
"It shouldn't be!"
At this time, the sallow-faced ancestor suddenly spoke with a certain tone, "To deal with a small force like ours, it is enough for them to just send a few Heavenly Severance Army over. There is no need to send out this formation at all. They are definitely not coming for us!!!"
After hearing what he said, the others' tense nerves relaxed a little, and they gradually calmed down, and their minds began to resume thinking.
"That makes sense!"
The old man on crutches patted his thigh, and the panic on his face faded a little.
"I was a little too worried just now, and I didn't think about the rationality of it. Situ Household is really not going to attack us in such a big way! Then the question is, what are they going to do?!"
"I don't know," the other person frowned, his tone full of worry, "Isn't it going to start a war between the top forces? If there really is a fight, how can we little shrimps in the middle still have a way to survive?!"
They all lowered their heads, looked sad, and began to worry about the future.
You must know that when two top forces fight, even if both lose in the end, the small force caught in the middle will inevitably become a victim of the two sides competing for territory and plundering resources, and will definitely die without a burial place.
Moreover, they think it is impossible.
In the Central Continent world, except for Situ Household, the other top forces are quite peaceful. Which force would be so full that it would start a war with Situ Household?
After fighting until both sides suffer, and in the end other forces are not allowed to take advantage, who can get the benefits?
Just as everyone was talking, a sect leader who was wearing a purple brocade robe and seemed to be well-informed suddenly said quietly, "I just heard a piece of news from my confidants. Situ Household, this time, is not going to destroy other forces, but to kill a person!!!"
Many sect leaders turned to look at him, their eyes widened, their faces full of confusion, and their bodies even moved forward involuntarily.
"Kill someone?"
The old man on crutches was the first to speak, his tone full of disbelief, "Who to kill? Who can make Situ Household dispatch almost the entire family's strong men?!"
"Is your news true or false?" The sallow-faced ancestor frowned, with doubt in his eyes, "Why do I feel that it is not reliable?!"
"Just to kill one person?"
The other person couldn't help but laugh, his tone full of ridicule, "Stop joking, okay? No matter how domineering Situ Household is, he won't mobilize an army for one person!"
They don't quite believe this statement. After all, in their opinion, no matter how powerful one person is, it is impossible to compete with the entire Situ Household. There is no need for Situ Household to go to such great lengths.
But the well-informed sect master patted his chest with certainty and said, "Don't believe me, this is all my first-hand information, it can never be fake!!!"
He paused, deliberately let it slip, and lowered his voice and said, "Someone had a conflict with Young Master Situ. Young Master Situ was so angry that he went back and called Situ the Third, and there were a thousand Heavenly Severance Army to take revenge. Guess what?!"
After saying that, he folded his arms and looked at everyone with a smile, deliberately not saying anything further.
The other sect leaders were so anxious that they wanted to step forward and shake his arm to force him to speak out.
"Stop hiding it and say it quickly!!!" The old man on crutches stamped his feet anxiously.
"You bastard, you're still showing off at this time?!" The sallow-faced ancestor couldn't help but curse.
"Speak quickly! Otherwise we will beat you up first and let you know what it means to be anxious!!!" One person rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture of taking action.
Everyone was so anxious that they surrounded him, urging him, and threatening to beat him up.
The well-informed sect master was not angry, but even more proud. He raised his chin slightly, cleared his throat, and said slowly, "Humph, you will never believe it - Situ the Third and those thousand Heavenly Severance Army are all dead!!!"
Hearing this, everyone felt as if they had been Immobilization Technique, froze in place, their eyes were as big as a bell, and their faces were full of shock.
"What? They're all dead?" The voice of the old man on crutches changed. "Isn't this too crazy? Isn't he afraid of Situ Household's revenge?!"
"But who is so powerful that he can kill Situ the Third and a thousand Heavenly Severance Army?!"
The ancestor with a sallow complexion knitted his brows into knots, "Situ the Third's cultivation level is not weak. A thousand Heavenly Severance Armys are all the best among the best!"
"That Young Master Situ is usually very arrogant, and relies on his family's power to make people hate him everywhere, but no one has ever dared to resist him." The other person smacked his lips, his tone full of confusion, "Is there really such a ruthless person who won't give him face?!"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, their faces were filled with shock and doubt.
They knew very well in their hearts that if Young Master Situ bullied them, they would definitely not dare to show any dissatisfaction and would just admit their mistakes and beg for mercy. After all, they couldn't afford to offend Situ Household.
"This is not the end yet!" The sect leader who knew about it spoke again, with a hint of fear in his tone, "Later, Situ the Second also took two thousand Heavenly Severance Army with him, and the result was no different - he died too, and the Heavenly Severance Army he brought with him was completely dead, not even a complete body was left!!!"
