“Not everything is wrong”
He murmured softly, his voice hoarse and trembling, his eyes filled with endless regret and despair.
“The so-called collusion with traitors, the so-called veiled protection, the so-called betrayal and surprise attack were all a trap from beginning to end!”
At the same time, Si Hong stood before a pile of Si Lu elite troops’ corpses, gazing at the remaining plundered high-level cultivators, and his millennia-tested composure and steadfastness collapsed completely.
His face was ashen, and the oppressive aura he had exuded all along suddenly became uncontrollable, causing the void around him to tremble.
The terrifying fireball at the start of the war, the sudden war cry from within the ranks, the evidence of deliberate staging, and the opportune family conflict.
Countless subtle doubts instantly connected and reinforced each other, revealing a clear and meticulously planned scheme in their minds.
From the very beginning, there was no betrayal from Xuanqiu, no attempt at cover-up, and no pre-planned ambush.
It was all a shocking deception planned, directed, and executed by David!
He fabricated evidence, sowed discord, impersonated a Xuanqiu cultivator, and launched a surprise attack and declared war publicly, shattering the tacit understanding between the two families and forcing Si Lu and Xuanqiu into a day-long bloody battle, damaging their own foundations and resulting in mutual destruction.
These two top-tier families, with bloodlines spanning thousands of years, held supreme authority over all heavens and controlled the core order of the twenty-five heavens.
They were like two manipulated brutes, easily provoked into fighting by an outsider cultivator, wasting their elite forces and resources, and ultimately being taken advantage of by someone who would reap the benefits from the chaos!
“Damn David! Damn rebellious bastard!!”
Si Li’s severely wounded body trembled slightly, his eyes wide with rage. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his soul almost shattered by the humiliation and anger he felt. “You manipulated our two great families, used us to weaken each other, and took advantage of the chaos to plunder our clan’s resources. You are despicable and cunning, worthy of death!!”
Xuan Shen’s beard and hair trembled, his heart filled with unbearable hatred and rage. His voice was cold and piercing: “Tens of thousands of Xuanqiu elite soldiers died in vain, Wanyan Mineral Base was destroyed, the thousand-year alliance was completely shattered, and the entire territory was devastated all because of this person!”
At this moment, the two families of Si Lu and Xuan Qiu, who were mortal enemies due to blood feuds, strangely reached an unprecedented agreement amidst endless anger and humiliation.
Previous territorial disputes, resource conflicts, and long-standing grievances were all forgotten.
At this moment, the sole obsession and the sole objective of the two families was to capture and menghabisi David!
“Issue my military order!”
Wherever they are, we will capture this bastard, destroy his soul, exterminate his entire clan, and avenge the deep-rooted blood feud between our two races!
Xuan Zhe, enduring his injuries, gritted his teeth and roared, “Announce to all the territories of the Twenty-Five Heavens that rewards will be offered for supreme merit, top-grade divine mines, and ancient secret realm opportunities. All residents must capture David!”
Great rewards will be given to anyone who provides clues; anyone who harbors or hides the person will be considered a traitor and will be executed together by both clans!
The extremely aggressive arrest warrants, accompanied by the terrifying intent to menghabisi of the two families, immediately spread throughout the Twenty-Five Heavens.
The cultivators from all realms were shocked, finally learning the truth behind this earth-shattering bloody battle and clearly seeing David’s monstrous plan and his ruthless methods of sowing discord.
David’s name was deeply etched into the hearts of all cultivators in the Twenty-Five Heavens, becoming synonymous with cunning, defying the heavens, and overturning the order.
However, at that moment, David was already thousands of miles away from the Wanyan Mine, having completely escaped the vortex of the battle between the two great powers.
He had long anticipated that his plan would be exposed and he would be hunted across the land after the war, so he decisively retreated when the war reached its peak and hatred had taken firm root.
Not wanting to take advantage of the battlefield’s aftermath, he took Jiang Xuelan, Canfeng, and the cripple with him in the dead of night.
They traversed several territories, bypassing all the patrol and defense lines and intelligence nodes of the Law Enforcement Bureau and Xuanqiu, completely evading the control of the two great powers.
They stealthily entered the territory of the Lingxi family, the most peaceful of the seven great families, most skilled in alchemy, and possessing hidden foundations.
The Lingxi family controlled over 70% of the spiritual medicine resources and alchemical traditions in the Twenty-Five Heavens. They disliked conflict and were not good at menghabisi. They spent most of their time in seclusion cultivating medicine and refining spiritual pills. Within their territory, spiritual energy was abundant, vegetation was lush, and secret realms were everywhere.
Compared to the sternness of Silu, the solemnity of Xuanqiu, and the violence of Chili, this place was the safest and most secluded hiding spot in all the heavens.
