Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the third day, which everyone in the Wang Clan had been looking forward to, finally arrived amidst the tense atmosphere in Helan City.
At dawn, the morning light, like a thin veil, spread across the earth, but Helan City was already bustling with activity. In just three days, a considerable number of powerful individuals had gathered here, including not only the city's original population but also many Dou Di experts.
This group of people came for today's decisive battle between the Fang Clan and Wang Clan. As for the information about this, it was naturally spread by the Wang Clan themselves. Their purpose was to let more people see the power of the Wang Clan. This approach could deter all sides, stabilize the family, and, in a way, bring certain benefits to the Wang Clan.
The Wang Clan's scheme wasn't just targeting the Fang Clan; it also included many surrounding cities, including Wuyou City. On the surface, it appeared to be just a declaration of war against the Fang Clan, but in reality, it was a warning to these forces.
At the Wang Clan mansion, the old patriarch Wang Xiang and the family head Wang Zhenyu stood before the gate. Behind them were a group of powerful members of the Wang Clan, including dozens of High-Level Half-Emperor and even two One-Star Dou Di. Judging from their attire, they did not appear to be members of the Wang Clan family; they were likely invited guests.
Among the line of people at the front, besides the clan leader Wang Zhenyu and the old man Wang Xiang, there was a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes. This man was none other than Jin Ge, whom Xiao Yan had met in Wuyou City a few days ago.
Five Dou Di powerhouses and dozens of High-Level Half-Emperor powerhouses—such a lineup is enough to crush the Fang Clan from just a few days ago.
Of course, this was only a few days ago.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Old Master Wang to have invited the Su Brothers. It seems Old Master Wang is determined to win this battle with the Fang Clan today!"
Jin Ge narrowed his eyes, glanced at the two One-Star Dou Di standing straight behind him, and looked at Wang Xiang in front of him with a forced smile.
"Haha, three days ago I told them to get out of Helan City, but that was just a way for me to buy time. I know the Fang Clan would rather die than leave Helan City. So, in these three days, besides inviting the two Su brothers, I also invited a distinguished person."
A smile crept onto Wang Xiang's old face as he gazed at the western horizon. If he wasn't mistaken, judging by the time, that person should have arrived by now.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Wang Xiang's words, Jin Ge raised an eyebrow. For someone to be addressed as "Master" by Wang Xiang, this person's background must be extraordinary!
Just as Jin Ge was filled with doubt, two faint auras drifted from the western horizon of Helan City.
"This is..."
Upon sensing the two auras, Jin Ge frowned, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
One of those two auras belonged to a mere Eight-Star Half-Emperor, while the other's aura was so strong that it rivaled even Wang Xiang's. It wasn't hard to guess that this second person was none other than a Five-Star Dou Di!
"Hiss..."
Upon realizing this, Jin Ge couldn't help but gasp. Another Five-Star Dou Di! In this way, the Wang Clan alone now has two Five-Star Dou Di. Such a lineup is extremely formidable even in the Western Region.
It's hard to imagine that Wang Xiang would create such a lineup just for one Fang Clan.
Of course, in comparison, Wang Xiang was well aware that although the Five-Star Dou Di would come along, the chances of him taking action were almost negligible. The other party's purpose was only to protect the Eight-Star Half-Emperor, which had nothing to do with their Wang Clan.
"Grandpa, your generosity is truly something I've never seen before in my life!"
Jin Ge couldn't help but exclaim in genuine amazement, which made Wang Xiang Xiang's smile even wider. This was exactly the result he wanted. He wanted everyone in the city to understand that his Wang Clan could afford to hire a Five-Star Dou Di, and that would be enough to intimidate all the heroes!
Sure enough, almost at the same time that the two auras appeared within the territory of Helan City, the huge city quickly became noisy. Talks full of surprise lingered in the sky above the city. Everyone was filled with astonishment. Finally, under the gaze of countless people, the two figures swept across the sky above Helan City and landed at the location of the Wang Clan.
Almost simultaneously, in the council hall of the Fang Clan family mansion, the patriarch Fang Cheng, Yuan Qing, and the elders of the clan all wore expressions of extreme shock. At the same time, a deep sense of terror surged from the depths of their hearts.
"What's going on...? Two more have arrived, and one of them is actually... Five-Star Dou Di!"
"Doesn't this mean the Wang Clan now has two Five-Star Dou Di? Does that mean today's battle is..."
Almost everyone in the hall stared wide-eyed, both shocked and frightened. They never expected that the Wang Clan would be able to invite such a person.
One Five-Star Dou Di was already putting them under immense pressure; now that another one has arrived, it's more than enough for the Wang Clan to crush them!
"Patriarch, what can we do now? There's no way out. If the Wang Clan family comes knocking, our Fang Clan will be finished!"
"If all else fails, let's relocate the entire clan. Helan City is indeed our foundation, but we can't let it destroy the whole family. Clan leader, if all else fails, let's have the younger generation find a way to leave Helan City. We old folks can die and that's it, but they are the hope of the Fang Clan. We absolutely cannot let anything happen to them!"
The addition of another Five-Star Dou Di to the Wang Clan was a devastating blow to the Fang Clan. In an instant, the glimmer of hope that had just risen in the Fang Clan because of Xiao Yan's appearance was shattered.
They didn't believe that Xiao Yan, a mere Five-Star Dou Di, could help their Fang Clan escape this calamity. Therefore, regardless of their own situation, their most pressing task now was to find a way to ensure the continuation of their family's lineage.
Hearing the somber words of several family elders, Fang Cheng, the patriarch, also had a somber expression and felt almost desperate.
Must we simply flee Helan City like stray dogs?
But what can they do? If this continues, they might lose even their last chance.
"Well..."
He sighed deeply. Even though he was unwilling, the family's interests came first, and he could not hand over the entire family to others because of any emotions.
"Is the Fang Clan really going to be ruined in my hands...?"
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng couldn't help but feel a deep sadness. But just as he was about to get up and announce something, Xiao Yan, dressed in a black robe, slowly stepped into the hall with a smile on his lips.
" Fang Clan Head, please rest assured. I will personally deal with those Dou Di experts from the Wang Clan. You only need to take care of those Half-Emperor experts."
His words, spoken calmly without the slightest ripple, sent shockwaves through the hearts of everyone present. All eyes turned to Xiao Yan, filled with astonishment and suspicion.
