Chapter 589: Chapter Five Hundred Eighty-Five: Intention

From the start, the war strategy of the Mi Clan was not aimed at destroying the Tang Clan’s elite martial force. No one knew better than them how difficult it was to kill a Martial Ancestor with Xuanji Jade.

However, the young ones who had shed their mortal coils were different. Even with spiritual armor, a well-prepared collective strike could injure them, let alone the arrow rain from the divine birds and the sudden attack from the Fierce Realm.

While the powerhouse of the Tang Clan was resisting the allied forces, the real killing weapon had already sneaked behind them. Eliminating thirty percent of the middle generation of the Tang Clan would leave them gasping for air for decades.

No matter how incredible the Tang Clan’s cultivation foundations were, it depended on the clan’s lineage and martial artists to turn them into actual strength. The true foundation of a mighty clan was these constantly growing young people.

These were the real targets of the Mi Clan. At the beginning of the war, Clan Leader Mizhu had set this tune early on. This was why the seven major clans were willing to swear allegiance.

If the aim of the Mi Clan today was to wipe out the entirety of the Tang Clan, no clan leader would take such a big risk to form a marital alliance with the Mi Clan. When it really comes to a fight, their martial ancestors would surely be in more danger than those of the Mi Clan.

Mi Bufu revealed this strategic secret to Xiao Jinlin in order to reassure him.

Listening to Mi Bufu’s strategic plan, Xiao Jinlin nodded his approval, saying, “The Mi Clan is truly the Mi Clan, with first-rate vision and layout, remarkable.”

Compared to relying on the allied forces to exterminate them, the plan to kill the young people of Tang Clan was definitely more feasible. It appeared that Mizhu had not lost his calm due to the allegiance of the seven clans.

Hearing Xiao Jinlin’s praise, Mi Bufu smiled and said, “Brother Xiao, my nephew Mizhu is still unmarried. The Clan Leader’s daughter has reached the age of marriage. The heads of the seven major clans have sought a marriage alliance to no avail. Can’t you see the Clan Leader’s intention?”

A marital alliance is always the first step of a beneficial alliance, and the status of the marital partner largely indicates how much the alliance partner is valued.

The seven major clans are now related by marriage to the Mi Clan, but they mostly marry the daughters of the elders or marry their daughters to the sons of the elders. As for the children of the clan leader, the positions are still vacant waiting for someone, it is self-evident who they are waiting for.

“Brother Bufu, if Ziyu was still here, I indeed would like to play matchmaker for him, unfortunately now…” Xiao Jinlin paused and lost his thoughts, even stopping his speech when he mentioned the marriage alliance.

Seeing Xiao Jinlin’s appearance, Mi Bufu knew that the other party had not yet made up his mind. After all, major decisions concerning the family usually had to be discussed with the council of elders.

The tactful Third Elder of the Mi Clan, finished the wine in his pot and stood up to excuse himself, “Now that we are in the midst of a big war, I am tasked with guarding Wave Overcoming, I can’t stay too long. I hope you will consider my proposal. I will visit again three days from now.”

“Take care, brother Bufu.” Xiao Jinlin also stood up, personally escorting Mi Bufu out of the tent, watching him take off into the sky.

The old man, with his hands behind his back, watched Mi Bufu’s figure turn into a small point in the sky before walking back to his camp.

Just moments after the camp was empty, all six elders of the Xiao Clan, along with the former clan leader Xiao Baihe, have gathered. They were all seated inside the camp, their eyes fixed on Xiao Jinlin.

“Master.” After Xiao Jinlin first bowed to Xiao Baihe, he nodded to the six elders one by one, then said, “Just as the Tang Clan planned, we will begin to make contact with the Mi Clan and gain their trust. Do any of the elders have any objections?”

Yuxi Ridge was finally taken by the Mi Clan

Even with Tang Sen defending, and with Tang Hongjun’s support, the gap in the number of Martial Ancestors still gradually tilted the balance of the battle towards the Mi Clan.

The battle among more than a hundred Martial Ancestors shaved off half of the peaks of Yuxi Ridge. The once towering mountains now looked like dented honeycombs, and some of the peaks were completely obliterated. This was the result of the confrontations between Tang Sen’s Golden Rock Battle Body and the divine form of the Mi’s Sun God Willow.

Although Mi Yang, who had lost his hands, had lost his ability to fight with Tang Sen in close combat, the power of his Divine Wood bloodline remains unchanged, still restraining the Golden Rock Battle Body.

Yuxi Ridge was eventually taken over, but the good thing was that the casualties among the Tang Clan’s Martial Ancestors were not significant. Now, the situation of the attack and defense had been reversed.

The Mi Clan Alliance, which had occupied Yuxi Ridge, became the defender, while Sect Head Tang Sen, along with Great Elder Tang Hongjun, led the Martial Ancestors in non-stop harassments of Yuxi Ridge. The combined attack technique of the Tang Clan was surprisingly effective in siege warfare. freēnovelkiss.com

The colossal golden palm that spanned the sky and earth could explode a mountain peak with one strike, even the Martial Artists from the Fierce Realm could not withstand it.

Compared to defense, Tang Clan’s Martial Ancestors are better at siege and conquest.

Without the restraint of Yuxi Ridge, the attack of Tang Clan’s Martial Ancestors even reached its pinnacle. Under the relentless pressure of the constant siege, the colossal Yuxi Ridge was visibly getting shorter at a steady pace.

However, as more and more Martial Ancestors of the Mi Clan Alliance garrisoned on Yuxi Ridge, Tang Sen and Tang Hongjun’s harassment became less and less effective. However, their actions did manage to detain the Mi Clan Alliance at Yuxi Ridge.

But anyone with discerning eyes could see that Tang Sen and the others were merely delaying time for the North Mountain to establish defensive positions and for their family to retreat deeper into the North Mountain. Due to the formidable warrior, who could turn into a golden giant, being too powerful and indestructible, they had no solution for now.

After all, anyone would find it headache-inducing to deal with a powerful Martial Ancestor who was incredibly destructive, indestructible, and could travel freely between places.

November 22nd

North Mountain Peaks, Medicine Hall Valley

Tang Siyuan, who had been unconscious for quite a while, finally woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he asked, “Has Tianzhu and the others returned yet?”

Tang Tianzhu was the captain of the Martial Ancestor squad who activated the Xuanji Jade to escape during the spread of the green mist. Tang Siyuan, who had no idea he’d been unconscious for twenty days, looked at the complex expressions of the physicians.

“Martial Ancestor Tianzhu and the others have returned long ago. They are on the front lines now,” Tang Qingyi, while removing the spiritual bead filled with toxic mist from Tang Siyuan’s chest, advised, “Great Elder, although you’re conscious now, the Seven Deadly Toxic Mists have caused severe damage to your meridian network in the past few days. You’ll need some time to recuperate. In these upcoming days, please refrain from leaving the Medicine Hall.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Siyuan immediately entered the state of inner vision and found that his body’s meridian network had indeed shrunk. If he could once manipulate thousands of spiritual energies through his meridians, he could now only guide a few hundreds.

The poison of the green mist was surprisingly intense. Tang Siyuan stopped his inner vision and asked Tang Qingyi with a frown, “Who exactly is Mi Qinggu, and what is this Seven Deadly Toxic Mists? Also, when will Gao Min and Fei Peng wake up?”

“Mi Qinggu is a high priest of the Mi Clan, a hundred years ago he was reputed as the Gu demon. He was the direct descendent of the Mi Clan sent to the Medicine Divine Sect for cultivation who came back to take on the position of elder in the Mi Clan after his studies.” Tang Qingyi explained one by one, “The Seven Deadly Toxic Mists are the ultimate teachings of the Medicine Divine Sect. The sixth elder and Martial Ancestor Fei Peng do not have a deep cultivation base like the Great Elder, but there is a cure for the Seven Deadly Toxic Mists in the Scripture Pavilion. At most, it will take five days for them to wake up after the toxic mist in their bodies has been absorbed by the spiritual bead.”
