A Battle is Inevitable, Qin Exterminates Wei!

Thinking of the lineage growing more prosperous with each passing day.

A sense of achievement rose within Qin Lu's heart; to accomplish such feats was already a rare and hard-won thing.

Yet viewed from the perspective of a modern person...

Everything before his eyes appeared somewhat illusory, like the moon mirrored in water.

It seemed like a night of blooming flowers and a full moon, but it was just like foam...

Fragile at the lightest touch!

In Qin Lu's view-

Bayi right now was about to stage a resource war of the Immortal Cultivation version!

A place like Bayi, though the land was fine, possessed limited resources.

Within the town, it appeared divided into three sides, but in reality there were only two.

The Wei Family was naturally the strongest of the six lineages, and having developed for many years, its hard power was beyond doubt, definitely stronger than Qi and Yan.

As for the Qin Family, it had schemed to destroy Han, crippled Zhao, subsequently allied with Chu, and gathered the remnants of the Zhao Family; its comprehensive strength was also incomparable to Qi and Yan...

The dispute between Qin and Wei was already set in stone!

Moreover, a battle would definitely happen in the future, and it was utterly impossible to avoid!

Whoever won would sit in possession of Bayi, and only then would it be a true sense of rise, occupying a territory and becoming a dominant regional hegemony!

By that time, a new behemoth would be born.

Did one think that as a regional hegemon, it would allow entities like Qi and Yan that broke away from control to exist?

That certainly would not happen!

When they chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, they had already tacitly left the poker table, and in the end it was nothing more than submission or the extermination of their lineage...

Let alone talking about reaping the fisherman's profit.

If one dared to stretch out a claw to seize food, Qin and Wei would dare to chop one's hand off first!

In truth-

This was not a matter of who was right and who was wrong.

Rather, the two lineages stood at their respective stances, and both had reasons they could not afford to lose; you had your clansmen, and I had my kin.

The Qin Family had grown, so the people it needed to support naturally increased as well...

Then there were the Chu Household and the Wei Family.

Over these past few years, the emergence of several Warriors was already enough to explain the problem, along with the Yan and Qi families who had been watching from the sidelines.

One might dare say they also harbored quite a few Pseudo-Immortal Seedlings.

Qin Lu wanted to advance further.

The descendants of the Qin Family, wanting to continue their cultivation, all required massive resources as support, while tiny Bayi was obviously not enough...

Wanting to continue rapid development, there remained only this single path of annexation!

The Qin Family was thus, and how could his Wei Family be any different?

It was just that previously, resources were still considered abundant, and everyone could still cooperate and achieve a win-win situation with peace of mind; but now, only by swallowing the other lineages.

Would the resources be enough for their own household to continue growing!

Especially after the appearance of Qin Lu, Precious Pills were no longer out of reach.

It allowed these lineages to see the possibility of advancing further!

It seemed to have brought about the prosperity of various lineages, but it had also hollowed out the foundations of the several major lineages, gouged out the surrounding mountains and wilds, and resources began to decline...

In order to continue improving and avoid being surpassed and annexed by the other few lineages.

A strange kind of competition naturally formed.

Under the rules where it was eat-or-be-eaten, and if one did not eat, one would be eaten by others.

The several major lineages could only continuously trade their foundations for resources.

Resources translated into Warrior realms and more Warriors...

Foundations would ultimately have a day of exhaustion, and resources would ultimately have a day of drying up; by that time, there would only be a desperate battle without end, fighting to the death!

Everything was for survival...

For the prosperity of the lineage, for the inheritance of the bloodline will, they were willing to be thus!

Precisely because of this-

Qin Lu seemed to have already seen the future...

"Since a battle is inevitable, I don't mind being that villain..."

Hearing his father's murmur, Qin Xiao assumed a foolish expression.

"What did you say, Father?"

"Why would you want to be a villain? In your son's eyes, Father, you are forever that beam of light in your son's heart!"

"If one day, a wicked person is truly needed."

"Then I hope to let your son be it; Father, you only need to continue being benevolent."

Qin Xiao touched his nose, speaking with a swagger, revealing a trace of innocent warmth.

"You brat, your old man still needs you to worry about him?"

"Cultivate properly, and strengthen our Qin Family in days to come; that will be giving me plenty of face!"

Qin Lu gave a derisive laugh, patting Qin Xiao's little face.

In this life-

He had a home and kin, and he was already very satisfied; now he just wanted to concentrate on cultivation, striving to live through a few more years.

Yet if he could allow his family to live a little better...

He, Qin Lu, was willing to be a ruthless killer who blinked at no bloodshed.

And let us not forget...

The people of Huaxia were willing to do anything for the sake of immortal cultivation and eternal youth.

After all, even the Human Emperor Banner that proudly puffed black smoke was something they could conceive of...

What else was there that the people of Huaxia dared not do?

Today was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Frost and snow fluttered and fell, and people returned home early for a family reunion.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a hazy moonlight.

What a fine scene of night scenery; if one were to share a small cup of wine with two or three good friends and chat about historical monuments and ancient sites, it would not lack a certain flair.

Yet precisely on this great day, blood was destined to be shed...

In the dark night-

Wei Cheng woke up with a sudden start, instantly feeling a surge of lingering fear.

A few streaks of moonlight shone into the room, appearing lovely, yet the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet!

"What is the situation?"

"Today is the Laba Festival, and the clansmen are holding a grand reunion banquet; how could it be so quiet..."

Wei Cheng realized something was amiss.

Just as he was about to get up to grab his saber, a streak of Sword Qi had already swept across his neck!

Wei Cheng was stunned, and then his head slowly slid off and fell to the ground.

"This body, why does it look so familiar?"

"Is it mine..."

"The enemy, who is the enemy? I must quickly notify the clansmen to be on guard..."

"The lineage... the lineage... fam..."

Wei Cheng's pupils dilated, his thoughts gradually freezing.

He died in muddled ignorance, so his eyes remained open, but he would never see again, nor would he ever be able to know the truth...

Even less able to continue guarding his lineage...

Subsequently-

Qin Lu walked out from the shadows, his eyes filled with cold intent.

"The True Martial Three Realms Great Completion, not far from the Four Realms at all."

"Good thing I made my move early; if I faced two True Martial Four Realms at the same time, I must admit, I really wouldn't be able to do anything to your Wei Family."

"But unfortunately, you no longer have the chance..."

With that said-

Qin Lu's sword light flashed, and Wei Cheng's corpse was instantly hacked into eight pieces!

The flesh and blood of a Warrior also happened to be top-grade fertilizer.

The Wei Family Ancestral Residence.

At this moment-

A large number of Wei Family clansmen all had haggard countenances, with yet others incessantly vomiting or suffering from unstoppable diarrhea...

It was as though they had been poisoned?!

"Someone poisoned the food and drink; looking at it, is it like a pestilence?"

"Wei Fang, go to the side courtyard and find the Household Head to preside over the situation."

"Weicai, go invite the Old Ancestor to step forward; tonight fears it cannot end well!"

"The rest of you, maintain order, and use True Essence as guidance to alleviate the clansmen's symptoms; save one for every single one you can!"

Seeing that the situation was critical.

Weizhenghua stood out amidst the crisis and shouldered the heavy burden.

As the number two figure in the household, he quickly stabilized the situation and rallied the clansmen.

He understood-

Tonight was by no means accidental, but rather a conspiracy targeted at his Wei Family; the opponent understood his Wei Family's traditions extremely well, and therefore deliberately chose today to set up the scheme.

The purpose was to wipe out their Wei Family in one fell swoop!

Furthermore, the opponent was well-versed in poison techniques, allowing over a hundred people to be poisoned simultaneously-something he had never even heard of. This means was definitely not something ordinary people could match!
