NOVEL WEB Chapter 303: Is the Yan Family Truly Doomed?_2
...
Soon after,
The old monk dressed in a White Lotus Monk Robe gradually disappeared within the White Brahma Temple.
And the young monk, whose handsome features were so ethereal that he barely seemed human,
at that moment, squinted his eyes slightly.
Silently gazing towards the distant direction where Qingshi City Luo Family resided.
"Qingshi City Luo Family, what kind of secrets are you hiding?"
"If your strength is really as formidable and terrifying as it seems,
then why have you always remained silent, carefully concealing yourselves?"
"It was only a few years ago that you began to reveal your power to the world."
I don't understand,
The young monk truly did not comprehend.
If it were him who possessed such terrifying strength,
Probably, by this time,
the White Brahma Temple would have already annihilated the Royal Yan Family and the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family.
Directly unifying all the nearby forces under his rule.
Even the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect within the Da Feng Dynasty, he would not let them off easily.
Although, he would not dare harm that Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect seriously,
since that Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect lived within the territory controlled by his White Brahma Temple,
they should at least pay some kind of fee, right?
Things like Spirit Stones, Elixirs, Spiritual Fire, all these valuable items,
his White Brahma Temple would accept them all.
Of course, if the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect within the Da Feng Dynasty was willing to submit to White Brahma Temple, dedicating themselves to refining various Elixirs that would aid in cultivation exclusively for White Brahma Temple,
that naturally would be even better.
However, if he truly intended to make the Wan Dan Sect within the Da Feng Dynasty submit to White Brahma Temple,
the likelihood seemed somewhat low.
After all, no matter what,
the Wan Dan Sect was still one of the ten strongest forces on the Xuanyuan Continent.
Even though, in recent years, the strength of the Wan Dan Sect had nearly reduced by a third due to the departure of the Qin Family
and the establishment of the Divine Elixir Sect by the Qin Family.
Even though the Wan Dan Sect within the Da Feng Dynasty was merely a minor sub-sect,
such an entity was not something that his White Brahma Temple could touch lightly.
Threatening them openly or covertly was certainly possible,
These were the unspoken rules among cultivators, things understood without being declared.
But if you truly moved against that Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect,
then the situation would be completely different.
Even if only for the sake of preserving the face of the Wan Dan Sect itself,
the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect would send out forces to eliminate any who dared to touch their sub-sect.
...
Before long, another three days had passed.
In these three days,
the sole remaining Sword Ancestor of the Royal Yan Family within the Great Flame Dynasty
once again held his sword in hand,
and slain over a dozen demonic monks with cultivation varying from the Viscera Refinement Initial Stage to Viscera Refinement Perfection.
Even among those in the Blood Refinement Realm,
he had already killed two within these three days.
Only, it's a bit regrettable that...
these actions he had taken, if he intended to completely resolve the current predicament of the Royal Yan Family within the Great Flame Dynasty, still seemed to be insufficient.
Now, the army from the Qingshi City Luo Family was already closing in.
The puppets controlled by White Brahma Temple, as well as the demonic monks from within White Brahma Temple,
were all attacking towards the direction of the Royal Yan Family in the Great Flame Dynasty.
Among this, the point that worried the Yan Family the most was,
the White Brahma Lotus, a supremely sinister entity that seemed to overshadow the sky and slowly encroach upon the territory of the Royal Yan Family within the Great Flame Dynasty.
This thing indeed posed the most fearsome and fatal threat.
For now, it was still manageable.
But if the White Brahma Lotus truly spread throughout the territory of the Royal Yan Family within the Great Flame Dynasty,
and if it even transformed their lands into grounds suitable for the White Brahma Lotus demonic monks to cultivate,
the situation would become truly troublesome.
Thus, between the attack from Qingshi City Luo Family and White Brahma Temple,
As the only remaining elder progenitor of the Great Flame Dynasty's Royal Yan Family and as the only remaining Mortal Transcendence Realm cultivator of this Royal Yan Family.
After much deliberation, he had decided to make his move against the White Brahma Temple first.
The troubles with the Luo Family of Qingshi City, on the other hand, could be set aside for the time being.
If he could resolve the issue with the White Brahma Temple.
Then the troubles emanating from the Luo Family of Qingshi City would naturally be nothing to fear.
However, if he could not even resolve the troubles with the White Brahma Temple.
Naturally, he would no longer need to consider the affairs of the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
After all, it was all about downfall and decay.
Whether or not he could withstand the trouble from the Luo Family of Qingshi City, what difference would it make?
...
"It should be about time, right?"
Outside the territory of the Da Feng Dynasty.
In a small town at the border between the Great Flame Dynasty and the White Brahma Temple.
At this time, clad in ordinary grey clothes.
Holding a longsword that shimmered bright silver, subtly exuding bursts of cold light, was Yan Yiqing, the elder progenitor of the Yan Family.
At this moment, he was squinting his eyes slightly.
Quietly gazing in the direction of the White Brahma Temple.
And, in the void.
The constantly spreading White Brahma Lotus roots, seemingly overshadowing the sky, slowly encroaching towards this area.
"Excuse me, old gentleman, please move aside."
Just as Yan Yiqing was deep in thought.
In front of him suddenly appeared a rich merchant, seemingly intent on driving his carriage in an attempt to flee with his family fortune.
Hearing this, Yan Yiqing said nothing.
He simply stepped aside silently, allowing the middle-aged merchant to pass through.
"Old gentleman."
"The Great Flame Dynasty is now in chaos, with Qingshi City's Luo Family and the demonic force, White Brahma Temple, both launching attacks against the Great Flame Dynasty."
"For now, the Great Flame Dynasty may be able to hold out for a little while."
"But as time passes, the Great Flame Dynasty will ultimately fade from this world."
"Seeing that you, old gentleman, hold a longsword and appear extraordinary."
"Why not leave the Great Flame Dynasty with me?"
The merchant saw Yan Yiqing make way.
He did not choose to drive his carriage away immediately.
Instead, he began to chat with the old man before him.
"Leave with you?"
Hearing this, Yan Yiqing's expression remained seemingly calm, but the slight twitching at the corner of his eyes gave away his true inner thoughts.
"Do you really think the Great Flame Dynasty is about to fall?"
Yan Yiqing managed to calm his emotions, then asked in a low voice.
After thinking for a moment, the merchant replied, "Isn't it?"
"The general trend of the world is becoming increasingly clear."
"The Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty, one of the two major imperial alliance powers, has chosen to stay on the sidelines."
"Outside the Da Feng Dynasty, the various family forces that were once affiliated with the Royal Yan Family have now left one after another."
"The Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect within the Da Feng Dynasty remains neutral."
"Although the Royal Yan Family has asked the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect for help, offering up many rare treasures,"
"It seems to be in order to gain the support of the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect."
"However, the Royal Yan Family's actions don't seem to have gotten any help."
"The Five Elements Immortal Sect, though related to the Royal Yan Family,"
"Is only just that—a relation."
"On ordinary days, flaunting one's connections might mean nothing, but to genuinely expect the Five Elements Immortal Sect to act for the Royal Yan Family would be nothing short of day-dreaming."
"In such a situation, what can the Royal Yan Family, even with its unwilling heart, do in the end?"
Yan Yiqing listened to these words.
For a moment, he could not help but fall silent.
Although somewhat unwilling to admit it,
The words of the merchant before him were, indeed, not wrong.
Now, the Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty had truly entered the brink of absolute despair.
Looking all around, there was not a single person who could aid the Royal Yan Family.
The Feng Family stood by, watching.
The Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect was always dragging its feet.
The Five Elements Immortal Sect...
Alas, better not to mention it.
Thinking this way, it seemed the Yan Family was indeed already on the path of no return.
