The Great Xia Emperor was holding the morning court.
All the officials had received the news of the Qin family and the Heart of Heaven City forming an alliance, and they also learned that the eldest son of the Qin family had broken through to the Extraordinary Realm at the age of eight, creating the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique to defeat Lin San.
He was the successor of the Long Sky Sword God, hailed as the first sword after a hundred years, which showed that the growth of the two prodigies of the Qin family was much faster than expected.
"The Qin family and the Heart of Heaven City have formed an alliance, clearly not putting the court in their eyes!"
"Such intentions must be punished, must be punished!"
"I suggest we immediately dispatch troops to take advantage of their unstable alliance and swiftly destroy them."
"Do you think the Qin family and the Heart of Heaven City are made of paper, so easy to deal with!?"
"If the Qin family and the Heart of Heaven City were so easy to deal with, would the court have allowed them to dominate the east and west for so many years!?"
"I suggest we negotiate. In recent years, strange phenomena have occurred frequently, and the era of great contention has arrived. We must not fight among ourselves."
"After the Yin Moon Dynasty underwent reforms a hundred years ago, it has become increasingly powerful and no longer hides its ambitions. Recently, it has even appointed two prodigies as Sacred Sons. They are our number one enemy."
"Please, Your Majesty, consider the bigger picture. This is not the time to fight among ourselves."
"……"
The Great Xia Emperor looked at the two factions of ministers below, unsure of what to choose.
To resist the invasion of the Yin Moon Dynasty, the Great Xia Dynasty needed the unity of the major families, but the cost of unity would give the two prodigies of the Qin family time to grow.
"If our Great Xia Imperial Clan could produce a few prodigies, we wouldn't need to be in such a predicament!"
The Great Xia Emperor sighed, feeling the weight of his declining power, and understood the root of the problem.
The times are always changing, and while he could accept that, it was tragic that the old waves had passed without new ones to follow.
……
The Qin Family.
Qin Feng sat cross-legged in his small courtyard, surrounded by a thick aura of spiritual energy.
Since he broke through to the Extraordinary Realm, the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Decision was no longer sufficient. He had to spend 30,000 villain points to activate a month of the Insight Halo to comprehend the Third Heaven.
"What terrifying insight!"
Ancestor Ten stood beside him, his face showing surprise as he clearly sensed the changes in Qin Feng's body.
These changes came from his cultivation technique. As he comprehended the technique to a deeper level, it manifested in his body. Now, Qin Feng's physical body was not only stronger but also had an extremely powerful self-healing ability.
He might not be able to come back from the dead, but regenerating a severed limb should not be a problem.
"What kind of heavenly law did this child comprehend!?"
Ancestor Ten had never seen such a cultivation technique. Just comprehending the Third Heaven allowed for limb regeneration. If he fully comprehended it, wouldn't he be invincible, able to regenerate from a single drop of blood?
Bang!
A dull sound came from within Qin Feng's body, and the runes around him burst into blinding golden light. His aura became even stronger, indicating that he had not only comprehended the Third Heaven but also broken through to the Second Level of the Extraordinary Realm.
"Monster!"
Ancestor Ten couldn't help but exclaim, recalling the scene when Qin Feng was born.
Truly a blood moon monster capable of stirring the world, his monstrous nature was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Clang!
Clang!
……
A series of bell sounds echoed throughout the Qin Family city, causing everyone's faces to change.
This was the emergency bell that had not sounded for hundreds of years, indicating that the Qin Family was facing a major crisis. All clan members must prepare for a battle that would determine the survival of the Qin Family.
"What happened!?"
Ancestor Ten's face turned serious, and he transformed into a white light, disappearing.
"Family survival? I think this has something to do with my second brother!"
Qin Feng found another reason to beat his second brother, getting up to search for Qin Hao's figure.
Actually, he didn't want to do this!
Originally, his dream was to be a wealthy and idle son, living a life of luxury and debauchery. But because of this little thing, he had to work hard to protect himself, and now the clan faced the threat of annihilation.
He really needed to beat him to vent his anger.
……
In the main hall of the Qin Family.
Qin Tian, as the head of the family, sat in the highest position. Below were the leaders of the various branches of the Qin Family, numbering 13 in total, known as the Thirteen Protectors of the Qin Family.
According to the reports from the Qin Family's informants in the Great Xia Imperial Palace, the Great Xia Emperor, after much deliberation, decided to take action against the Qin Family.
"Damn it, if we have to fight, let's fight! Who's afraid of who!"
A burly leader couldn't suppress his excitement, his large saber already eager for action.
"Logically, we just formed an alliance with the Heart of Heaven City, and the Yin Moon Dynasty is watching from the outside. The Great Xia Imperial Clan shouldn't be so unwise."
A scholarly-looking leader frowned, filled with worry about the war.
If they had to win through war, the result would be mutual destruction, benefiting the Yin Moon Dynasty.
The best method was to buy time, giving Qin Feng and Qin Hao time to grow.
"The Great Xia Imperial Clan is cutting off their own arm!"
Qin Tian said solemnly, "With the Qin Family's prestige in the Great Xia, once we grow, we can replace them. Therefore, they plan to act before we grow, aiming for a quick victory. If it turns into a prolonged war, they can still hold half the country."
"…"
The 13 leaders were extremely serious, knowing that this war could not be avoided.
However, a war is not something the Great Xia Emperor can start just by saying so. He needs to secure the support of the major families and promise them benefits. Otherwise, who would fight for him?
This means that the war won't start immediately, giving them enough time to prepare.
"Is the war really going to start?"
Qin Feng could clearly feel the changes in the Qin Family, a heavy and oppressive atmosphere like a storm about to break.
Previously, every Qin Family member wore a confident smile, but now they were all serious, without a hint of expression. The streets, once filled with the graceful figures of young women and brides, were now lined with rows of armored warriors.
"Can we win this war?"
Qin Feng was not a child and could analyze the current situation.
Although the Qin Family and the Heart of Heaven City had formed an alliance, controlling half of the Great Xia, the major families led by the Great Xia Emperor were not to be underestimated. Even if they could win by chance, the Yin Moon Dynasty would still be watching from the side.
The most important point was that they had a chosen one.
It is well known that a chosen one does not need a powerful family to support them at the beginning. Even if they are born into a powerful family, they will leave for various reasons.
Whether the family is destroyed or they break ties with the family… so their chances of winning this war were basically zero.
So, the question is, should he run away?
"No, no, they are all my close friends and brothers!"
Qin Feng shook his head, starting to think about how to turn the tide.
The final method would naturally be to log in as the fully leveled red-haired old monster, but suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head. He remembered the system's task to dig out his brother's Supreme Bone. Perhaps he could do it openly…
