Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens
Chapter 2014: Each with their own thoughts
In the mansion closest to the old district in the north of the city, an old man at the peak of the Naqi stage rushed out with three Naqi mid-stage warriors.
The owner of the mansion, who was also the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce's Kuocheng, was attacked by a Nether Beast during the breakout. He was only delayed for a moment before being stopped by the fifth-level Nether Beast that came later.
In this environment, once the Nether Beast blocks the way, the only result is death, and it is a death that cannot even preserve a complete corpse.
Some ordinary people without cultivation, or warriors with low cultivation in the early and middle stages of the strong body, may not be seen by the Nether Beast, and will be discarded at will after being killed. However, those with higher cultivation will be devoured by the Nether Beast and their essence will be absorbed.
If this is just a small village, or just an ordinary town, it is likely that the entire city will become a dead zone in less than half an hour.
Thanks to the extremely large scale of Kuocheng and its important geographical advantages, the city has a large number of powerful people with extremely high cultivation.
Just looking at Su Wang Gui Hua, the four major families have almost all stationed the leaders of the southern region here, which shows their importance to this place.
Of course, it is not just the four Su Wang Gui Hua families who have such vision. Other families, forces, chambers of commerce, and sects are also the same. They have deployed a lot of forces in this Kuo City.
Of course, this arrangement is not as simple as it seems, just like the Lin family and the Mu family. On the surface, there are only the people of Zui Xiang Lou, but in fact there is another group of powerful backup. Long before Captain Lin did so, they have successfully lurked into Kuo City.
The same is true for other forces and families. They also have their own secret arrangements. For example, the medium-sized family Fan family, on the surface, has only two mid-stage Naqi strongmen in Kuo City. But in fact, he has a peak Naqi strongman in Kuo City, five mid-stage Naqi strongmen, and more than 20 early Naqi strongmen.
There is also the former controller of Zui Xiang Lou—Hong Gang, which is a considerable force in the south. There is also a peak-level Naqi master in charge, seven mid-level Naqi masters, and more than a dozen Naqi masters lurking in secret.
There are many such families and forces. They only send out the superficial forces to cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion. But in fact, they have preserved stronger strength in secret, in order to come out and share a piece of the pie when all forces are exhausted.
These families and forces are naturally impossible to participate in the battle tonight, and it is even more impossible to reveal their cards too early. They are waiting for a good opportunity after the dust settles.
After a long night, they did see the destruction of the old city of the Lin family, and waited for the Su Wang family and the ghost painter to mobilize all their strength to organize a battle.
After this battle, many forces and families thought it was time for them to take action, and they even showed some eagerness to try. At the same time, they were worried that if they showed up too early, they would have a grudge with the Su Wang family. With this concern, they hoped that other families and forces would take action first, and then they would reap the benefits.
No one could have imagined that at this moment, something unexpected had happened, and a massacre that was beyond everyone's expectation began.
The first place where the war was ignited was the area outside the old city of Lin's family, mainly concentrated in the west, south and southeast of the old city. Although the Nether Clan belongs to the beast clan, the Nether Clan that has reached the fifth level has a command that is not inferior to that of humans.
Before entering the city, they had already formulated corresponding tactics and attack directions. They wanted to slaughter the entire Kuo City and use their own advantages to kill all human warriors.
Therefore, after leaving the old city, they separated like a fan and killed all the humans they met in an indiscriminate manner. Whether it was women, children, or the elderly, ordinary people without cultivation, as long as there was a living being, they would not let it go.
In this way, the forces around the old city suffered first, and they were also the first to expose their own strength. Facing the test of life and death, they could no longer hide anything.
But even if all the strength was used, the result was still very miserable. Except for a small number of families and forces with a keen sense of smell, who reacted before the Nether Beast arrived, most of the forces were attacked by the Nether Beast without preparation.
The unprepared forces could not even protect the women and children in the family. Many strong men even broke out of the encirclement of the Nether Beast with tears on their faces and grief and anger.
The prepared families and forces were better. Except for some unavoidable losses, they were still able to evacuate with their family members. However, although they evacuated quickly, the attack of the Nether Beast was also fast. However, as the battle spread, the beasts of the Nether Beast began to disperse, which actually reduced the speed of the attack.
At this time, a group of strong men from the Su Wang family arrived, and each of these warriors was very cautious. They used their own cultivation advantages and the advantages of stealth to wander on the edge of the battlefield, observe, and understand the situation of the Nether Beast.
These people were naturally sent by Su Jian and Zuo Feng. They came with a mission. Some of them even braved the danger and sneaked into the courtyards and mansions that the Netherworld Clan was attacking to investigate the number and level of the Netherworld Clan at close range.
At the same time, there were a large number of powerful people from the Su Wang family who were scattered among various forces and families in the city to find the person in charge for negotiation. However, the negotiations of these people were very unsuccessful. Many families and forces did not even give them a chance to speak, and directly rejected them.
At this time, most of the forces in the city had two mentalities. One was to wait and see whether the Su Wang family could completely control Kuo City next, and the attitude and approach to other forces in the future, and use this to determine the attitude of their own families and forces.
The attitude of these people was quite good, at least they would not refuse forcefully, but would only let the visitors taste a soft nail. Of course, these people did not believe the saying that the Nether Clan had invaded the city.
Another group of families and forces had a much tougher attitude. They were vigilant and hostile to the Su Wang family. These forces believed that the Su Wang family wanted to take the opportunity to integrate Kuo City and annex all forces for themselves.
And they believed that the so-called Nether Clan invading Kuo City was a completely fictitious rhetoric. Therefore, when facing the messenger from the Su Wang family, they would be very impolite, and even ready to drive them away at any time.
Not to mention that the two groups of people sent by the Su Wang family need to go to multiple families and forces in a short period of time, even if they come only for one family, after being treated like this, how can they be willing to say more nonsense.
Although the method and strategy of summoning other forces were proposed by Zuo Feng, this result was unexpected by him.
At the critical moment when Kuo City was facing the crisis of destruction, the entire Kuo City began to split. The forces in the city began to split into three parts, and they gathered together automatically and consciously according to their own judgments and ideas.
One group chose to wait and see. Although these people did not express their willingness to come together with the Su Wang family, they did not express clear opposition. After sending away the messenger from the Su Wang family, they began to contact secretly, hoping to keep warm together and deal with the plundering plan of the Su Wang family that they guessed.
Another group of people who were hostile to the Su Wang Family, after these families rudely drove away the messengers from the Su Wang Family, immediately began to contact each other, and even gathered strong organizations, and planned to gather together to fight against the Su Wang Family.
Because these forces all knew that after this battle tonight, even the final winner, the Su Wang Family, would be injured and no longer have the strength before, and they would have the capital to fight together as long as they united.
In addition to the two groups of people who were watching and opposing, there were only some forces that were willing to obey the Su Wang Family's dispatch and arrangements. However, these were often small forces with insufficient strength. They believed that they had no ability to compete with the Su Wang Family, and they did not want to unite with other medium-sized forces, because in such a union, they would also be the one who suffered.
Since following either side would be an existence that was excluded and exploited, it would be better to rely on the Su Wang Family now, after all, it was still the old super family of the Xuanwu Empire.
In this way, under Zuo Feng's strategy, the entire Kuo City immediately underwent earth-shaking changes, and this great change was even faster and more fierce than the invasion of the Netherworld.
But all this had already become a foregone conclusion after the strong men of the Su Wang family were sent out. Even though Duan Yueyao had a vague premonition of something wrong later, it was too late to remedy it.
In addition to the three groups of forces that responded differently after receiving the Su Wang family's message, there was actually another group of people in Kuocheng.
That was the family and forces that were the first to be attacked by the Nether Clan around the old city of the Lin family. Before the Su Wang family sent the message, they had already suffered from the fierce attacks of the Nether Clan and tasted the pain of their family being almost completely slaughtered.
These forces certainly did not need to be persuaded. They did not even wait for the messenger to come, and they had already led the remaining manpower to gather at the Su family mansion.
The current situation in Kuocheng is very critical, but also very subtle. The selfish side of human nature is particularly prominent in Kuocheng at this time. Almost most of the forces first consider their own interests, but almost like the Su Wang family before the war, they forgot that there are still Nether Clan outside the city staring at them.
At this time, after the Nether Clan had really entered the city, most forces still let themselves be like deaf and blind people, not really considering the changes in the outside world, and only calculating their own gains and losses.
Such changes are not due to Zuo Feng's lack of ability, but because he is still young after all. No matter how rich his life experience is, he cannot see through the various human emotions and cannot expect that a life-saving message will trigger such a strange change.
