Collect the rags and I become a clairvoyant doctor

Liang Xia's words undoubtedly blocked the Liu family's path to obtaining Qin Fei through normal means.

Because their Divine Martial Sect arrived before the main force of the Liu family, they were able to seize Qin Fei first.

The eldest elder of the Liu family clearly understood what Liang Xia meant by "useful".

Qin Fei is no ordinary person; this guy definitely has a huge secret hidden inside.

The fact that he can unleash Dao-level combat power in the late stage of the Earth Profound Realm means that he must possess an extremely powerful technique or treasure. If they can obtain this item, it might bring blessings to the entire family.

Therefore, Liang Xia will not only not kill Qin Fei, but he will also protect Qin Fei.

All of this was simply because the Liu family's main force arrived a tiny bit slower.

One step behind means another step behind; now, getting Qin Fei is probably a hundred times more difficult than before.

"You think someone as insignificant as an ant deserves your protection? Aren't you afraid of making enemies of the Liu family?" asked the Liu family patriarch.

"The decision of whether or not to ally with them is in your hands. My Divine Martial Sect is merely the one passively accepting the situation. Is there anything else?"

"If not, then this sect leader will go to rest." Liang Xia's words carried a clear implication that he was about to dismiss them.

"Can I interpret this as your Divine Martial Sect preparing to protect this young man?" asked the Liu family patriarch.

"Think what you want, I have no intention of explaining it."

Liang Xia is no ordinary person. He is not afraid of the so-called Liu family. Even if the Liu family wants to completely break with their Divine Martial Sect, he will not be afraid in the slightest.

Although the Divine Martial Sect is a rising star that emerged after the Heavenly Ladder incident, their current reputation and status have been genuinely enhanced through battles. Therefore, if a real fight breaks out, Liang Xia is not afraid of them at all.

Not every force is qualified to become a top-tier force. Since their Divine Martial Sect has such a title, it means they possess the corresponding strength. Therefore, if the Liu family really wants to go to war with their Divine Martial Sect, then they will gladly oblige.

"Alright, our Liu family will remember this for now. We'll meet again soon."

Although the Liu family patriarch was the head of the Liu family in the past, he is now just one person. If he wants to stir up trouble within the Divine Martial Sect by himself, then he might as well be an old man who has hanged himself because he thinks he has too long a life.

"Damn the Divine Martial Sect! They haven't even avenged their own blood feud!" The Liu family elder roared viciously as soon as he stepped out of the Divine Martial Sect's territory.

"What is mere hatred compared to tangible benefits?"

The Liu family patriarch calmly said, "As long as everyone's interests are aligned, even enemies can become allies. So you can't judge things by appearances alone. The reason why the Divine Martial Sect is so fixated on this kid surnamed Qin is simply because they have their eyes on what he has."

"So if we want to get them out, we have to hurry. If we're too late, we might not get anything."

Qin Fei is currently trapped inside the Divine Martial Sect, and they cannot even make contact with him, so they don't know how long Qin Fei can endure the torture.

Therefore, the effort to recruit talent should be undertaken sooner rather than later.

……

Inside the Divine Martial Sect.

After the Liu family members left, Liang Xia immediately summoned Shang Wu and the others.

"Give the order to everyone to prepare for battle," Liang Xia said to Shang Wu.

"Is it that serious?" Upon hearing this, Shangwu's expression immediately became extremely solemn.

It is important to understand that if two top-tier forces go to war, the consequences will be extremely serious. Not to mention the heavy casualties, there is also the fear that others will take advantage of the situation after the two major forces start fighting.

In other words, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.

Although the major powers may appear to be on good terms in daily life, if they actually create an opportunity for others, those other powers will certainly not hesitate to strike.

Everyone wants to eat fatty meat and wouldn't miss such an opportunity. Shangwu didn't expect that the sect leader would issue such an order as soon as he opened his mouth. Could it be that the Liu family really dares to make a move against their Shenwu Sect?

“Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, and do you know who that old guy was?” Liang Xia asked.

"who is it?"

Shang Wu didn't have Liang Xia's strength, so he couldn't possibly have contact with people at a higher level. Therefore, how would he know who that Liu family patriarch was?

"He is known as the most warlike person in the history of the Liu family. I think you heard what he said before he left. He will definitely not let this go."

"Therefore, our Divine Martial Sect is very likely to face a fierce battle next!"

"Sect Master, there's something I'm not sure if I should say," Shang Wu asked after a moment's hesitation.

"Just say what you have to say. Being so hesitant isn't like you," Liang Xia said after glancing at him.

"Is this really worth it?" Shangwu asked.

“Some things depend on whether you want to do them, not on whether they’re worth it. Since the Liu family wants to challenge our Divine Martial Sect, then we’ll accept the challenge,” Liang Xia replied.

"Sect Master, is that kid surnamed Qin really that valuable, worth gambling with the entire Divine Martial Sect?" Shangwu asked again, unwilling to give up.

"Like I said before, you'd better not ask questions you shouldn't ask. I have my reasons for doing this. You just need to follow the orders I give you."

"Yes!"

This time, Shangwu didn't ask any more questions, because he knew that since the sect leader had already made such a decision, it meant that he must have already prepared for the worst.

As a subordinate, what he should do at this time is to do his best to cooperate with the sect leader.

"He's really a lucky person."

After leaving the council hall, Shang Wu couldn't help but sigh on Qin Fei's behalf.

In fact, when Shangwu first heard about the Third Elder and Changqingdeng, his first thought was that Qin Fei was very likely to be captured and tortured to death by their Shenwu Sect.

The reality is that Qin Fei was indeed captured, but not only is he not dead, he has even managed to make the sect leader turn against the Liu family for him. He is now starting to suspect that Qin Fei might be the sect leader's illegitimate son.

Otherwise, why would he break the rules that their Divine Martial Sect has passed down for so many years for Qin Fei?

The Holy Maiden is also quite suspicious. She's known for her volatile temper, but even though Qin Fei has been captured and taken to the Divine Martial Sect, she still hasn't been able to do anything to him. This is really not in line with her personality.

"It seems I'll have to participate in World War I without even knowing it."

Taking a deep breath, Shangwu immediately began reading the sect leader's orders to his disciples.

The Liu family members are arriving here one after another through the teleportation array. As more and more of their powerful members arrive, the atmosphere in the entire city seems to become oppressive because of their arrival.

Everyone could clearly feel the impending storm.

"Let's get out of the city first. I think this place is going to turn into a battlefield. If we stay here, we're just waiting to die."

Those without the protection of a major sect began to feel insecure and started to flee.

Since they will eventually be driven out by top-tier forces like the Li family anyway, they might as well run away sooner rather than later.

"Yes, before the battle breaks out, escaping is like saving our lives!"
