Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood-Chapter 803 - 389: Futile Struggle?_2
After all, there was already a Great Millennium Family that had been annihilated; the remaining two Great Millennium Families naturally had to be a bit more cautious.
No one knew if by some carelessness,
they would provoke the high-ranking members of the Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty.
Whether these two Great Millennium Families would, like the previously annihilated Millennium Family, also be wiped out by the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family.
And then, vanish from this world.
Even as time passed, they would gradually be forgotten by others and slowly disappear in the long river of history.
...
Following the ancestral commands issued by the patriarchs of the two Great Millennium Families,
a large number of people from these Millennium Families beneath the city
began their respective movements.
For ordinary people, trying to enter this city from outside the walls
might be somewhat difficult.
But for cultivators wielding the Qi-Blood Force, entering this city is not a challenging task.
Of course, the premise is...
that no one is guarding atop the city walls.
Otherwise, even the cultivators, despite possessing vast amounts of Qi-Blood Force, would still find it difficult to enter the city.
...
Outside Tianyin City,
members of the Yu Family and Wan Family, both of which were affiliated with the Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty, had already swiftly started their respective operations.
And within the city, those of the Tianyin City Yan Family and some smaller families affiliated with the Yan Family, hiding beneath the city walls, along with some previously existing armored troops,
their faces now seemed to reveal slight signs of tension.
"Ancestral Patriarch, those people outside... seem to have started their movements."
Inside Tianyin City, beneath the city walls,
Yan Yin, the Young Family Head of the Yan Family, after observing his own ancestral patriarch whose expression seemed unchanged, couldn't help but whisper a reminder.
"I know," replied the Elder with white hair, wearing a loose gray robe, with calm acknowledgment.
Hearing his own patriarch's words,
Yan Yin fell silent for a moment.
After about three to five minutes,
Yan Yin couldn't help but inquire again in a low voice to his familial patriarch before him,
"Ancestral Patriarch, since the enemy has already made their move, shouldn't we... on our side..."
Yan Yin whispered.
But before he could finish,
the Elder of the Yan Family, adorned in the loose gray robe, silently gave him a glance and then spoke with a sage-like calm, "No rush, no rush. Aren't all those people still outside the city walls?"
"And besides, those cultivators from the Yan Clan are still up there on the city walls..."
At this point,
the Yan Family patriarch said no more.
As for the so-called Yan Clan,
like the Yan Family, it was also a powerful faction within Tianyin City.
Its combined strength was also considerably formidable.
In fact, not far behind the dominance of Tianyin City's Yan Family.
The only difference between the Yan Clan and Tianyin City's Yan Family was that the former did not have cultivators in the Early-Phase Transcendent Realm.
The patriarch of the Yan Clan had toiled in cultivation all his life, and his cultivation had reached Blood Refinement Perfection, just a step below Mortal Transcendence.
It seemed he was only one step, one threshold away from achieving Mortal Transcendence.
Yet it was this final step, this last threshold,
that firmly hindered the Yan Clan's patriarch.
Preventing him from ever glimpsing the might of Mortal Transcendence Realm.
Previously, the Yan Family had intended to live in seclusion,
simply quietly developing in Tianyin City and enjoying their discreet existence,
without getting involved in worldly strife.
Therefore, the Yan Family of Tianyin City had not paid much mind to the Yan Family within the city.
However, the situation now was somewhat different.
Since the Tianyin City Yan Family had been forced and driven to partake in these worldly conflicts,
and had also directly sided with the Qingshi City Luo Family,
the developmental strategies within the Yan Family clan would naturally need some adjustment.
In addition to that, there was another very important reason...
"On the couch by my side, how can I allow others to snore away?"
Having chosen to engage with the secular world, the Yan Family of Tianyin City naturally had to pay close attention to certain familial powers within their own territory.
There were indeed cultivators within Tianyin City who had achieved Perfection in Blood Refinement.
Moreover, their number had exceeded two palms' count.
But it was the Yan Clan's Ancestral Patriarch alone who gave the Yan Family of Tianyin City's Patriarch a certain feeling.
He... had the chance of achieving Mortal Transcendence.
If one were to say who among Tianyin City might be the next to achieve Mortal Transcendence,
it would very likely be that very Ancestral Patriarch of the Yan Clan.
Therefore, whether it was for the sake of his own Yan Family or due to other reasons,
he hoped that the Ancestral Patriarch of the Yan Clan would die in this round of strife.
The competition between family powers is often as cruel as this.
Either you die, or I live.
This saying is not made lightly.
"Is that so?"
Yan Yin, the Young Family Head of the Yan Family, listened to the words of his own Ancestral Patriarch. He couldn't help but slightly bow his head, his expression seeming somewhat solemn.
"On the couch by my side, how can I allow others to snore away?"
This saying, this principle—Yan Yin, as the Young Family Head of the Yan Family, was naturally very clear about it.
But still...
"Alas..."
After pondering for a long while, Yan Yin finally could only turn all his myriad thoughts into a sigh of slight resignation.
Competition between families is often incredibly realistic, ice-cold, and cruel.
Do not look to how the Yan Clan of Tianyin City may respect the Yan Family at present.

Many times, with matters of interest,
The Yan Clan often chose to step back.
But if the Ancestral Patriarch of the Yan Clan truly advanced from the Perfection of Blood Refinement to the final realm within the Five Realms of Mortality, the Initial Realm of Mortal Transcendence,
The subsequent situation might undergo an earth-shattering change.
Firstly, all of the Yan Clan's previous concessions would vanish overnight.
Regarding the competition of interests, the Yan Clan would no longer choose to easily let go.
Moreover, they would gradually begin to contend with the Yan Family for the dominant position within Tianyin City.
After all, no person or family power would willingly subordinate themselves to others upon acquiring strength.
To eat the leftovers of others, and silently endure those different gazes…
...
As time passed,
Who knows how much time had gone by.
The members of those Great Millennium Families originally outside the city had finally begun scaling the city walls.
However, since the Yan Family in Tianyin City had made preparations and laid ambushes early on,
Overall, the subsequent offense from the two Great Millennium Families was thwarted.
But likewise, the situation wasn't unchangeable.
As time passed once more, and as the number of people from the two Great Millennium Families atop the city walls steadily increased,
The battle on top of Tianyin City's walls gradually became balanced.
And as the elites from the two Great Millennium Families outside the city were slowly, bit by bit, sent into the battlefield,
The situation atop Tianyin City started to turn disadvantageous.
The casualties amongst Tianyin City's forces were gradually growing and mounting.
Among them, especially those of the Yan Clan within the city,
Seemed to be suffering the most losses at this point.
...
Outside the city walls of Tianyin City,
At this very moment, the Ancestral Patriarchs of the two Great Millennium Families, subordinate to the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family,
Stood just beyond the walls, silently observing the current state of the battle.
It was visible that Wan Hai, the Ancestral Patriarch of one of these two Great Millennium Families,
Was slightly squinting his eyes, with his hands clasped behind his back,
His expression was quite tranquil as he watched everything unfolding before him.
As he looked on, he also thought to himself silently,
"The strong are strong, the weak are weak."
"Even if the Yan Family of Tianyin City learned of our actions, what of it?"
"All of this, in the end, is but a futile effort…"
