Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

At this moment.

The entire Great Qi Dynasty was shrouded in demonic clouds, and no first- or second-rate power within the dynasty's borders escaped unscathed; all were attacked by demonic cultivators.

The difference lies in the fact that sects like Zifeng Valley and Taixu Sect suffered heavy losses, while Lingyue Sect and Wanbao Pavilion, which were prepared, remained unscathed.

Besides the first and second-tier powers, the medium and large cities in the dynasty were also attacked by demonic cultivators.

Large cities attract more demonic cultivators, while medium-sized cities might only have three to five, since there's too little meat and too many wolves to share.

Even Rain River City could not escape the calamity. Several demonic cultivators broke into the city and slaughtered indiscriminately. Lü Zhen led the city lord's mansion's experts in a fierce battle against the demonic cultivators.

"Quick! Jiye, take some men to protect the Xu family!" Lu Zhen shouted while fighting the demonic cultivator, instructing his son to lead men to the Xu family compound.

Even if it means some loss for their own family, they will protect the Xu family.

If this branch of the Xu family in Yuhe City is gone, the relationship he had put so much effort into building with the Xu family will be completely severed.

Lu Zhen's son replied, "I've already checked. There's no one at the Xu family compound, and no one at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion either."

"what?"

Lu Zhen was slightly taken aback and didn't react for a moment. He was even almost injured by the demonic cultivator because he was distracted.

But since the Xu family is alright, he can rest assured.

Lü Zhen led his clansmen in a full-scale attack to kill the demonic cultivators. Although they ultimately won, they suffered heavy losses.

Similar incidents were occurring in various cities.

On the contrary, some remote small towns and villages are peaceful and uneventful.

Wanbaoge and the Xu family are basically hiding in these places.

The attacked forces and cities are struggling to hold on, waiting for the imperial court's support, but unfortunately, they won't be able to receive it anytime soon.

Many people believe that the Great Qi Dynasty will perish as a result.

Everyone pinned their hopes on the royal family, after all, they ruled the Great Qi Dynasty and were the top power.

Little did they know, the Qi Emperor was in the palace, drinking fine wine and chatting with King Zhenwu.

"How is the Lingyue Sect doing?" Emperor Qi asked, toying with the jade wine cup in his hand.

King Zhenwu put down his wine cup, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"Most of the disciples and elders of the Lingyue Sect retreated back to the sect in time and did not clash with the demonic cultivators, so there were no casualties."

Ok?

Emperor Qi frowned slightly. "Could it be that you were prepared?"

"It should be, because their protective mountain formation is much stronger than before, and it will be difficult to break through in a short time," Zhenwu King replied.

Emperor Qi then asked, "Where is the Wanbao Pavilion?"

He felt that Wanbaoge, with its many branches, lacked a strategic location like Lingyue Sect, where it could both attack and defend. He believed that Wanbaoge would suffer heavy losses in such a situation.

Unexpectedly, King Zhenwu shook his head.

"When they attacked the major cities, they found that all the Wanbao Pavilions in these cities were just empty shells, with no people and no property. The same was true for the Xu family's Zuixianlou."

Snap....

Emperor Qi's face darkened, and the wine cup in his hand turned to dust. The powerful pressure spread outwards like a volcanic eruption, and even the powerful True Martial King almost lost his footing.

"what happened?"

It is obvious that the Xu family, Lingyue Sect, and Wanbao Pavilion all knew about the demonic cultivators' invasion in advance, which is why they made ample preparations.

Only the two of them and a few royal elders knew about this; even the Crown Prince and Empress were unaware of it.

That's why the Emperor Qi was so angry that he couldn't control his emotions.

King Zhenwu replied, "I suspect that the Demonic Sect leaked the information."

He had no evidence, but that was all he could say, since there was really no one left to doubt him.

You can't just doubt yourself.

The Emperor stared at him for a moment, then returned to his previous imposing demeanor.

"Our plan was implemented ahead of schedule to target the Lingyue Sect and Wanbao Pavilion, but so far only they have remained unaffected. This means that if we end the plan here, it will have failed."

King Zhenwu lowered his head, speechless for a moment.

He couldn't understand how such a meticulous plan could fail because of a leak.

After a moment of contemplation, King Zhenwu suddenly spoke up: "Since things have already developed to this point, why not go all the way?"

"You mean, you want the ancestor to take action?" Emperor Qi asked.

King Zhenwu nodded.

Emperor Qi fell into deep thought.

Now, their targets, the Xu family and the Lingyue Sect, are both holed up under the protective mountain formation. As long as they can't break the formation, they can't do anything to them.

The royal family can use the excuse that the powerful are all resisting the demonic cultivators to avoid supporting them in the short term, but in the long run, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. If it is exposed in the future, it will be like shooting themselves in the foot.

Therefore, this struggle must be ended as soon as possible; dragging it out will only bring harm to the royal family.

Emperor Qi suddenly stood up.

"I'm going to see the Ancestor!"

He has made up his mind to ask the royal family's Dharma Aspect Realm ancestor to make a trip to the Lingyue Sect and the Xu family.

As long as the Xu family of the Lingyue Sect is dealt with, this plan will still be a success, a perfect one.

Half an hour later, Emperor Qi returned with a faint smile on his face. Clearly, the ancestor agreed with their idea and decided to take action.

With a Dharma Aspect Realm expert involved, this matter is practically a sure thing.

.....

Xu Luo, who had left the three great dynasties to seek reinforcements, has finally returned, but he is alone; there are no Buddhist cultivators to help him.

When he was still some distance from Lingyue City, he sensed the overwhelming demonic energy and the strong stench of blood within the city and couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, the demonic cultivators have finally arrived."

At this moment, Lingyue City was like a living hell, and even with Xu Luo's abilities, he dared not enter the city rashly.

After all, he only had the cultivation level of the Purple Mansion Perfection, while there were ten Heavenly Palace Realm demonic cultivators in the city.

He could only take out a specially made jade slip for transmitting his voice to Xu Qingzhou, who held the other jade slip.

"Sixth Uncle, I'm back. I'm outside the city now, and I haven't been able to get things done."

Xu Qingzhou replied shortly after.

"It's alright. The Xu family is safe now. They can't break the formation in a short time. They won't last long. But don't go into the city. You can go to Yunshan City to hide for a while and come back after it's over."

Xu Luo put away the jade slip and headed towards Yunshan City.

At this moment, he frowned, his expression complex.

Xu Luo originally thought that as long as he found a Buddhist sect and explained the situation within the Great Qi Dynasty, the Buddhist Cultivation Association would be happy to come.

Then we can easily deal with the demonic cultivators within the Great Qi Dynasty.

But this time he was wrong, utterly wrong.

He not only failed to meet the abbot of the Buddhist sect, but he also failed to meet a single manager, as he was stopped directly by a young monk at the gate.

Xu Luo explained the reason.

The little monk asked him.

Which faction are you on?

Xu Luo replied, "The Xu family of the Great Qi Dynasty."

The young monk smiled and looked at him meaningfully.

Xu Luo understood and took out a Heaven-rank cultivation technique.

After accepting the martial arts manual, the young monk immediately sent him away.
