Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 220 Man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation
The middle-aged monk's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his aura increased sharply.

He suddenly clapped his hands.

I saw a surging aura, and a huge silver palm over ten feet in size suddenly slapped towards Ning Zhongyuan.

Ning Zhongyuan's face changed drastically.

He gathered all his magical power, and his hands made changes to the magic formula. A small golden bell rippled out circles of golden waves in front of him.

"boom!"

These golden ripples exploded under the power of the silver palm.

Ning Zhongyuan flew out like a kite with a broken string, and only managed to steady himself after several feet.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura suddenly became much weaker.

"Big brother!"

Ning Zhongjiu, Ning Shaohong, Ning Hongye and others behind him flew over quickly, their faces full of shock and anger.

Ning Zhongjiu's face turned as red as blood, and a red glow suddenly appeared on his body.

Ning Huarong, who was standing aside, also had a look of cruelty in her eyes.

But Ning Zhongyuan, with blood on the corner of his mouth, held the two men tightly and gave them a stern look.

The middle-aged cultivator with a pale silver face looked at Ning Zhongyuan with some surprise, but then snorted coldly: "Our sect does have this rule, but now the situation has changed. The development of Yunhuang Lake is not going well and we are short of manpower. Our sect and Huayu Sect have decided to recruit people to go to the south to develop it."

"All the forces in Qianbo Lake are included in the call-up. You have provoked disputes without authorization, resulting in the loss of manpower. As punishment, each of your forces must send at least 70% of their forces to participate in the development. Since the Xue family has suffered heavy losses, they only need to send 10% of their forces."

At this point, the middle-aged monk said in a cold tone: "I will give you six months to complete the mobilization preparations. Do not try to evade or send fewer personnel, otherwise the consequences will be absolutely unbearable for you. I will supervise this matter here. When the six months are up, you must follow me and go to the Black Horn Swamp obediently."

After this person finished speaking, everyone was silent.

The faces of many family leaders of the anti-Xue coalition were pale.

Even Ning Zhongyuan couldn't help but sway, and a look of despair flashed in his eyes.

70% of the forces were sent to participate in the conscription, while the Xue family only had to send 10% of the forces.

Although the Xue family suffered heavy losses, their strength remains.

How can the Ning family, Qian family and other clansmen who stayed in Qianbo Lake be a match for the Xue family? They will surely be eaten alive by the hateful Xue family.

It is obvious that this envoy from Wanfamen is helping the Xue family.

Ning Zhongyuan seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the young man next to Wanfamen, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

He laughed miserably, and lamented in a voice that only he could hear: "Man proposes, God disposes..."

The so-called development of the Yunhuang Swamp is a very cruel thing.

Even on the edge of the Yunhuang Swamp, there are many dangers.

The environment is so bad that even cultivators can hardly survive, there are endless monsters, strange and unpredictable dangerous places, cunning and cruel evil cultivators...

What's more, after arriving at a new territory, one has to compete with other forces for territory in order to gain a place to live.

During this process, even the Foundation Establishment cultivators are likely to die, not to mention the Qi Condensation cultivators. As for ordinary mortals, their lives are even more worthless.

The battlefield was silent. The Wanfa Sect envoy's eyes flashed with impatience. He said coldly, "Do you want me to repeat it a second time? Or do you intend to disobey your order?"

Ning Zhongyuan closed his eyes, then slowly opened them. His expression had become calm. He cupped his hands and said, "I will obey the order of the clan. My Ning family has no objection."

The chief elder of the Qian family, a sturdy old man with fiery red hair, burst into tears but choked up as he said, "We will obey the order of the clan. The Qian family has no objection."

"I will obey the order of the clan. My Chi family has no objection."

"Ah! Ning Zhongyuan, you have brought great harm to our Qi family!"

"I hate it... Why did I join the anti-Xue coalition? The Tian family's inheritance will be cut off in my hands!..."

……

The leaders of each force either agreed reluctantly or suffered emotional breakdowns.

However, the Wanfamen envoy's face was as cold as stone, without any change in expression, and he followed the young man into the Xue family's territory.

The forces of the Anti-Xue Alliance also left sadly to prepare for the call. Although it was unacceptable, facing the will of the Wanfa Sect, there was no room for resistance.

Ning Fa remained silent. Is this the accident that Liao Wuyin mentioned?

The chief elder of the Qian family walked up to Ning Zhongyuan and lamented, "Fellow Daoist Ning, I don't have much time left. From now on, my Qian family will follow the Ning family's actions. I hope that fellow Daoist Ning will take care of my Qian family when the time comes."

Ning Zhongyuan said solemnly: "Don't worry, Brother Qian, I promise you that from now on, our Ning and Qian families will be the closest allies."

The Qian family's great elder bowed, sighed, and then gathered his monks and returned.

Ning Zhongyuan looked around and saw the silent faces of the Ning family cultivators.

He paused for a moment, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said with emotion: "Don't be discouraged! My Ning family's ancestors also came from nothing and fought their way out. The situation at that time was much worse than it is now. Since our ancestors can do it, can't we, the descendants, do it!?"

"Our Ning family is still strong. With solidarity and sincerity, we will surely regain our foothold and even rise again!"

After Ning Zhongyuan finished speaking, the light in the eyes of many tribesmen rekindled.

Ning Fa admired this great elder even more.

Even in the face of such a huge blow, he was able to bounce back so quickly.

He believed that with the leadership of this great elder and the Ning family's group of outstanding and young foundation-building elders, the team could achieve great success.

Even if the Ning family moves southward, there is still hope for them to rise again.

But he was still in a bad mood.

This sudden change disrupted all his plans.

He originally planned to build his foundation as soon as possible after his family dealt with the Xue family, and then go to Huayu Sect.

But now that the family participates in the southern expansion, will he still be able to obtain enough resources to build his foundation?

Even if the foundation is established, can I get out of it safely?
The current family must need me more.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.

Afterwards, Ning Zhongyuan led the Ning family back to their home.

Then a group of senior executives discussed the matter of southward expansion at the Ning family's site.

Actually, there is nothing to discuss.

There is only one choice before the Ning family.

Although the Wanfamen envoy only asked to send out 70% of the force, the Xue family was still in Qianbo Lake, so the remaining 30% of the Ning family would definitely not be able to survive.

As a result, the Ning family had no choice but to relocate the entire clan, along with millions of mortals, away from Qianbo Lake where they had lived for more than 600 years.

The journey was long and arduous, with many dangers and I don't know how many people died on the way.

All the Ning family can do is to make more preparations and try to minimize the losses to these Ning family members.

Ning Zhongyuan also learned through information channels the real reason why Wanfamen helped the Xue family.

First of all, Wanfamen and Huayuzong did reach an agreement recently to jointly issue a conscription order to recruit the forces under their jurisdiction to open up a new settlement in the southern part of Yunhuang Lake.

However, the official conscription order will not be issued for another half a year.

Normally, only 20% to 30% of the forces in each region are recruited.

This time, the Wanfamen envoy obviously used some tricks on his own.

The anti-Xue coalition forces were asked to mobilize 70% of their forces, and the Xue family only needed to use 10%. In this way, Qianbo Lake would generally meet the mobilization standards.

But in fact, once the Ning family, Qian family and other forces leave, Qianbo Lake will definitely belong to the Xue family.

　I hope the ending of the first volume won’t be criticized… As for the Xue family’s disciple who joined the Wanfamen Dantang, the foreshadowing had actually been made before, just for him to appear at this moment to save the Xue family.

　　As for why there was no better ending for the Ning family, it was for subsequent plots, because the sect's expansion to the south will be an important plot, and it is where the Ning Fa truly begins to rise. The Ning family was recruited to participate in it later, and several important characters of the Ning family will have roles to play later.

　　Also, rest assured that Ningfa will not go with the family, but will go directly to the sect to start his journey to the sect.
