MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 643 - 131: Returning to the Ancient Dreams (23)

No one knew who had won, but Xis’s territory was left shattered, and the water level in Lian Nan Lake had risen quite a bit, submerging the shoreline, so everyone had to wade through the water.

The previous lookout post had been smashed to smithereens, and all its sins were buried by the lake.

After crossing Lian Nan Lake and encountering not a single beastman soldier on the way, the group arrived back at the Ming Clan, after traveling for more than half a month.

Months had passed, and the Ming Clan had not changed much.

Upon hearing the news that Lu Hong had returned from the southern sands, Clan Leader Ming Lou personally welcomed him.

Before he saw the person, he heard his voice, "Hahaha, Brother Xiao, I didn’t expect you to come back so soon!"

Lu Hong greeted Ming Lou with a smile, "It’s all thanks to Clan Leader Ming’s care that allowed us to have a smooth journey."

Ming Lou patted Lu Hong on the shoulder, "Come, come, let’s talk inside."

After arranging for his men to rest, Lu Hong brought Ming Lou and Lei Jinjin into Ming Lou’s residence.

"How was the trip?"

"Not bad," Lu Hong replied as he handed over the weapons he had purchased for Ming Yue to Ming Lou.

Ming Lou nodded, then looked at Lei Jinjin and asked, "May I know who this lady is..."

"This is the daughter of the War God, Lei Sai, her name is Lei Jinjin."

Ming Lou was nearly scared out of his wits by Lu Hong’s words, "What? The War God’s daughter?!"

Being a person of such repute among the Human Race, the War God’s daughter was naturally deeply respected. Ming Lou did not dare to be negligent, he quickly rose and knelt on one knee before Lei Jinjin, "Ming Lou of the Ming Clan, at your service, dear Heavenly Lady!"

Lei Jinjin abandoned her usual fierce wildness, and with a kind smile on her face and a very gentle voice, she said, "Clan Leader Ming Lou, you are too kind, I bring my father’s greetings to you."

Helping Ming Lou up, everyone took their seats once more, and discussed the current political situation.

On the other side, Gui He, draped in a thick cloak, found himself surrounded by a group of Ming Clan soldiers, along with the Xiao Tribe and the War God’s personal guards.

The incident in the small grove earlier had spread throughout the entire Ming Clan. Ming Ze was so angry he nearly coughed up blood, so he specifically came looking for trouble, wanting to teach Lu Hong a lesson.

"What do you think you’re doing?" The Xiao Tribe warrior Alei suspiciously eyed the advancing Ming Clan soldiers, and spoke sternly, "We are guests of Clan Leader Ming Lou, do you intend to defy your Clan Leader’s command?"

"Isn’t that a bit of an overstatement?" Ming Ze stepped out of the crowd, his face dark with anger, "You’re nothing but trash, not worthy of my Ming Clan’s hospitality!"

With that, Ming Ze shouted loudly, "Men!"

"Present!" the Ming Clan soldiers replied in unison.

"Drive them out of the Ming Clan with a beating!"

"As you command!"

At Ming Ze’s command, Ming Clan warriors picked up their weapons and charged at the crowd, not just picking a fight, but really going for the kill.

"Defend!" Alei quickly took command and issued orders to the others.

The Xiao Tribe warriors were the first to react, their Fighting Spirit surging.

But Ming Ze was prepared; he took the initiative and swung his spear at Alei.

Alei was shocked, but was too late to react; the spearhead’s cold gleam was nearly upon his brow.

The next second, however, a strong hand grasped the spear, and no matter how hard Ming Ze pushed, he couldn’t advance it a single inch.

Ming Ze was surprised and looked at Gui He wrapped in the cloak, snorting coldly, "A coward who hides his face, and you dare to block me?"

Gui He wasn’t bothered by Ming Ze’s mockery, but since the latter had previously uttered words about hitting his master’s face, Gui He wouldn’t just let it go.

A fierce kick aimed at Ming Ze’s abdomen forced Ming Ze to retreat and dodge. Meanwhile, a fight broke out between the Ming Clan soldiers and the Xiao Tribe and guards.

The seasoned War God’s guards had little pressure handling the Ming Clan soldiers. They were both of the Human Race and did not use lethal force. The Xiao Tribe warriors, being professional, naturally did not give in easily either.

Gui He, with the beastman’s natural brute strength and skilled combat tactics, overwhelmingly outclassed Ming Ze on every level. Within minutes, Gui He had beaten Ming Ze black and blue, blood and snot mixing on his face.

Indeed, he was beaten to the point that even his own parents wouldn’t recognize him.

Under a series of blows, Ming Ze completely lost his ability to fight and collapsed on the ground, having fainted.

The commotion grew larger and larger, and more members of the Ming Clan came over, seeing their fellows being beaten up.

Eventually, the disturbance reached Ming Lou. Upon hearing the news, Lu Hong and the others hurried over.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Ming Lou immediately bellowed, "Stop! All of you!"

"You all stop too," Lu Hong also called his people to a halt.

Ming Lou furiously questioned his clansmen, "What’s going on? Why has it come to blows?!"

When asked for the reason, the people of the Ming Clan were all dumbfounded, looking at each other and shaking their heads.

Seeing the bewildered crowd, Ming Lou grew even angrier, "Who knows what happened, come out and speak!"

Soldiers under Ming Ze knew they couldn’t avoid it and so came forward, "Clan Leader, Lord Ming Ze was leading us to seek a friendly exchange of skills with members of the Xiao Clan. Unexpectedly, they attacked viciously, beating Lord Ming Ze. Seeing this, other Ming Clan brethren couldn’t stand by, and that’s how the large-scale brawl broke out."

The soldier under Ming Ze told the story with tears, making it sound as if it were true.

Lu Hong clearly didn’t believe their words and turned to ask A Lie.

A Lie didn’t exaggerate and recounted the events exactly as they happened.

Truth and falsehood were clear to distinguish, and after hearing A Lie’s account, Lu Hong stayed silent, leaving it to Ming Lou to decide what to believe.

As for Ming Lou, the situation had become difficult for him. If the Xiao Clan had all been defeated, protecting the Xiao Clan wouldn’t have been a big deal. However, after a bout of fighting, not a single member of the Xiao Clan had gone down, but instead, a large number of his Ming Clan soldiers had fallen. He had lost face, and handling this poorly could affect his status within the clan. It would make people think he was unfair, especially since the outcome showed the Ming Clan soldiers as the weaker side.

"Xiao Clan’s Young Clan Leader, I will give you an explanation for this matter, but the Ming Clan has important matters to attend to today, so we won’t keep you."

Lu Hong nodded, "Since the Ming Clan has matters to attend to, we won’t impose any further."

Under the hateful gazes of the Ming Clan people, Lu Hong and his group left indifferently.

Once out of Ming Clan territory, Lei Jinjin who had been holding back questioned, "It wasn’t our fault to begin with, why should we leave?"

Lu Hong knew Lei Jinjin’s temperament and teased, "Why didn’t you say that earlier?"

"I’m not familiar with them, why should I bother with them?"

Lu Hong chuckled, "As a clan leader, one must show a bit of favoritism."

"Favoritism?" Lei Jinjin retorted, "If one is biased, what’s the point of being a clan leader? My father says that a leader of a clan should have vision, discern right from wrong, be responsible, and listen well."

"You father is not wrong," Lu Hong completely agreed with Lei Sai.

"Then why do you still talk about being biased?"

"Heh, discerning right from wrong and showing favoritism are two different things."

Lei Jinjin was somewhat confused, "How can they be two different things?"

"To discern right from wrong is to have a scale in your heart, you don’t necessarily have to show it. If a clan leader doesn’t protect his own people, then why would his people respect him?" Lu Hong patted Lei Jinjin’s shoulder, "Little girl, learn slowly."

After being lectured by Lu Hong, Lei Jinjin became unhappy and stamped her foot, "Why should I learn? I don’t want to be a clan leader!"

Looking at the sky, Hai Ge said, "Let’s just make do outdoors for tonight."

Under the moonlit night, a fierce battle was breaking out at Lian Nan Lake.

A month ago, the Tiger Roar army officially returned from the border of the Beastmen and the Elves.

After a brief rest, under the command of the Tiger Roar God, they marched towards Lian Nan Lake. The major nobles along the way responded one after another, assembling their forces to launch a fierce attack on Lian Nan Lake.

This assault had been seen through by Lei Sai early on, so he had made extensive strategic preparations.

This was the first large-scale conflict to erupt between the Human Race and the Beastmen, and it also attracted the attention of many races. If Lei Sai could win this battle, his reputation would reach an unprecedented height, and in a short time, he could call upon the Human Race to establish a nation. However, if Tiger Roar succeeded, the Human Race would once again be crushed under the Beastmen’s feet, unable to rise up.

War is cruel. Faced with the Beastmen’s elite top forces, the Human Race, despite their preparations, was still being beaten back, powerless to fight back.

With no other choice, Lei Sai took action himself, summoning heavenly thunder across nine skies, turning a ten-mile radius into a purgatorial Thunder Marsh, slaughtering the Beastmen.

As soon as Lei Sai made a move, the Tiger Roar God also made his official appearance.

A silvery-white light broke through the Thunder Marsh, and the Tiger Roar God looked down indifferently upon Lian Nan Lake, his divine might rippling, "Lei Sai, all of you in the Human Race are but ants, daring to challenge divine power, you shall be executed!"
