From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 132 Spirit Hall's Lightning War

Leng Xiyao was naturally aware of the interests involved, but logically speaking, this had nothing to do with the seven major families. Why was Liu Dingtian so solemn?
Seeing that Leng Xiyao was a little confused, Liu Dingtian continued to explain: "Niece, you haven't been in the Leng family for a long time, so you may not know much about the Leng family, but you must understand that the Leng family is not a vassal of the Spirit Hall, and this plan is not entirely led by the Spirit Hall. The Leng family is also qualified to set some goals in it."

“Oh, the Leng family is so tough? Can they be on par with the Spirit Hall?” To be honest, Leng Xiyao had always believed that the Leng family was a cowardly family. They couldn’t even be a secluded family and were forced to come to the secular world and serve as running dogs for the Spirit Hall.

For a family like this, even if it has a few Titled Douluo, what future does it have?
Seeing Leng Xiyao's ignorant look, Liu Dingtian was not surprised and explained patiently: "Among the seven major families, no one knows what the Long family and the Jiang family do, and it is even impossible to verify whether they still exist in the world."

"But among the remaining five families, my Liu family is good at refining medicine, the Bai family is good at refining equipment, the Qin family is good at casting armor, the Li family is good at business and politics, and the Leng family is good at gathering formations."

"Gathering formation?" Leng Xiyao had heard on the way here that the Leng family was going to sell some kind of spirit gathering formation, which looked extremely high-end.

If the Leng family really has such a background, then he would have to re-examine this enemy.

"Yes, the formation. Many people think that the Leng family surrendered to the Spirit Hall because they were ruined. In fact, the entire Spirit City, including the defense formation of the Spirit Mountain and the formations of the treasures of the Spirit Hall, were all created by the Leng family."

"In other words, it was the Leng family, which was still a hidden family at the time, that opened up the Spirit City after cooperating with the Spirit Hall. Therefore, the Leng family has a very high say in the Spirit Hall."

"Because as long as the sword holders of the Leng family are willing, they can instantly detonate all the formations in the Spirit Hall. After that, more than 80% of the Spirit Hall's assets will be wiped out. By then, how many strong people can the Spirit Hall still cultivate?"

When Leng Xiyao heard this, she felt a little creepy. She had never thought that the Leng family had such a big say in the Spirit Hall.

What does it mean to control all the major assets and treasures of the Spirit Hall?
If the Spirit Hall wants to attack the Leng family, and the Leng family is determined to destroy all the places suitable for cultivation in the Spirit Hall, then after that, which strong person would join a force that will not help their own strength in any way?

After realizing this, Leng Xiyao suddenly developed endless respect for the ancestor of the Leng family. With this foundation, even if the leaders of the Leng family throughout the generations were useless, as long as they did not compromise on the issue of dismantling the formation, the Leng family, which was tied to the Spirit Hall, would continue to be powerful.

In fact, the Spirit Hall did not dare to mention the dismantling of the formation. Even the dumbest person could realize that this was a sign that the Spirit Hall was going to take action against the Leng family. Once both sides became suspicious of each other, it would eventually be a situation where both sides would be destroyed.

As a result, the Leng family took more initiative in the negotiations between the Spirit Hall and the Leng family. However, the Leng family did not intend to overthrow the Spirit Hall, and the successive popes of the Spirit Hall did not intend to take action against the Leng family. It seemed like there was a sense of you in me and I in you.

"So, I guess the Leng family wants to take action against the other major families, right?" After recognizing the Leng family's status in the Spirit Hall, Leng Xiyao quickly realized the Leng family's intentions.

The goal of the Spirit Hall is to unify the continent, but there is no need to provoke the hidden families, or inevitably provoke one or two of them. For the Leng family, forces like the upper three sects and the lower four sects are obviously not on the Leng family's plundering list.

Plundering forces weaker than the Leng family would be of little help to the Leng family, so their intentions would be obvious.

"You are right. The Leng family has been declining in recent generations. They want to use the Spirit Hall to annex one of the seven major families. The Spirit Hall is also somewhat interested in this proposal and may have already planned an attack on a certain family." Liu Dingtian said this and sighed:
"It is undeniable that the Spirit Hall is the most powerful force on the continent. They have great influence and influence. None of the seven major families can be their opponent. Even two families combined have no ability to resist the invasion of the Spirit Hall and the Leng family."

"Leng Hongfeng is just a smokescreen they released. Because the third elder of the Leng family hates fighting, he has always disagreed with other elders. He probably doesn't even know that the Leng family is going to overturn the table and reshuffle the family structure."

Leng Xiyao deeply agreed with this. To put it bluntly, her third uncle had the personality of an old man next door. He was idle all day and didn't have any big intentions. He might tell the family secrets at any time. It would be strange if other people would take him to play if they wanted to cause trouble.

"Therefore, the leaders of the other four families have come up with a plan." Liu Dingtian said, and suddenly became a little excited: "Since we don't know which family will be attacked, the four families will share the same hatred and the enemy. As long as any family is attacked, the other families will declare war on the Spirit Hall together! If the three major families join forces to attack, the Spirit Hall will find it difficult to resist!"

After hearing that Liu Dingtian had formulated such a detailed counterattack strategy, Leng Xiyao was also infected and said excitedly: "So, Uncle Liu, you called me here because you realize that I can contribute to the fight against the Spirit Hall?"

Generally speaking, the protagonist is always given an important mission when he or she appears on the stage. He or she eventually saves the collapsing building, turns the tide with his or her own strength, and reverses the decline of his or her force in one fell swoop.

Isn't that what's written in novels?
Unexpectedly, Liu Dingtian just looked at Leng Xiyao speechlessly, and then sighed with some sadness:

"Of course not. I just hope you can take my daughter and run away. If the Liu family is the one that was attacked, then you should never think about avenging us. Qing'er may be very talented, but once she is targeted by the Spirit Hall, she will die. After all, the other major families are not of one mind. It is still unknown whether they can defeat the Spirit Hall."

Thinking of the future scene, Liu Dingtian's face was very melancholy. Death was not a terrible thing for people from aristocratic families like them. Dying in battle was just like going to meet their ancestors. But the only thing he could not accept was that the Liu family would be destroyed in his hands!
But as long as there is a spark left, there is still hope for the continuation of the family. He firmly believes that even if the current Liu family is reduced to ashes, his beloved daughter will create glory for the Liu family again and achieve the pinnacle of hegemony!
