Invincible Martial God System

Chapter 44 The War Begins

When Leng Yun entered Flame City, he found the atmosphere rather tense. Many people were carrying packages and seemed to be fleeing Flame City in a hurry.

The people all looked terrified, and many walked hurriedly on the street, clearly not wanting to stay outside.

Leng Yun grabbed a pedestrian, wanting to find out what had happened.

"Oh, you're new here, aren't you? I advise you to leave quickly. It's not safe here now. The Leng family is about to make a move against the Liu family!" an old man said to Leng Yun.

"Take action against the Liu family?"

"Yes, I heard that a tragedy happened in the Flame Cave some time ago. Three young people who entered the cave died. This was a huge loss for the Wang and Zhang families, but the Leng family became the dominant force because of it."

Leng Yun gave a bitter smile, thinking to himself: This Leng Wuxi is actually announcing to the outside world that we are all dead!

“Currently, the Liu family is the only one with any real power in Flame City,” the old man continued. “That’s why the Leng family is now coming to deal with the Liu family.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man passing by remarked with emotion, "Yes, Flame City is about to change drastically. You should leave quickly."

After saying that, the middle-aged man and the old man hurriedly left.

Leng Yun snorted: "How much trouble can one person, Leng, possibly stir up!"

Afterwards, Leng Yun headed into the city, but instead of returning to the Leng family, he went directly to the Liu family's residence.

He was stopped by the Liu family's guards at the gate.

Now that war is about to break out between the two families, the Liu family has also sent a large number of troops to guard the mansion.

"Who goes there? What are you doing here?" the guard asked.

“My name is Leng Yun, and I wish to meet your patriarch, Liu Qiang,” Leng Yun said.

"The Leng family!" The guards became alert as soon as they heard the surname Leng.

Ignoring everyone's surprise, Leng Yun said, "Quickly inform your family head that Leng Yun has come to see you!"

A guard hurriedly ran back into the inner courtyard, and a short while later he ran out again, followed by an old man.

"You must be Young Master Leng Yun, the patriarch invites you!" The old man, the Liu family's steward, said to Leng Yun with great respect.

Afterwards, Leng Yun followed Butler Liu to the Liu family's reception hall.

Liu Qiang, the head of the Liu family, was sitting in the middle. Next to him were Liu Fang, whom Leng Yun had defeated before, his brother Liu Yuan, and Liu Feng, the strongest of the younger generation of the Liu family. Unfortunately, Liu Feng met Wang Jiu too early in the competition and did not win a prize.

"You're not dead yet?" Liu Qiang asked, somewhat surprised.

“It’s not that easy for Leng Yun to kill me,” Leng Yun said expressionlessly.

Liu Fang's attitude was somewhat cold as he asked Leng Yun, "What brings you here?"

“I heard that Leng Wuyi is about to attack your Liu family,” Leng Yun said.

"So what? We will fight to the death!" Liu Fang said disdainfully. "Our Leng family is not so easy to deal with."

Leng Yun snorted: "Then please tell me the truth, Liu family head: how confident are you of victory?"

Liu Qiang looked troubled, and after a long pause, he finally uttered a few words: "Less than 30%."

“I can work with you to defeat the Leng family and resolve this crisis,” Leng Yun said.

Upon hearing this, the Liu family members present were all taken aback.

"Why do you want to help us?" This time it was Liu Feng who spoke, but from his voice, one could tell that he was full of energy and had a high level of cultivation, and it was very likely that he had also broken through to the Martial Control Realm.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to help you," Leng Yun said coldly. "As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now we have the same goal, which is to defeat Leng Yiwu."

Liu Qiang remained silent for a long time before finally believing Leng Yun's words: "What's your plan?"

“I have my reasons, but I’m not working for you for nothing,” Leng Yun said.

"What do you want?" Liu Fang asked irritably.

“I helped the Liu family repel their troops, and in return, the Liu family gave me half of their treasures in their treasury,” Leng Yun said.

Several members of the Liu family present immediately became annoyed.

Liu Fang immediately flew into a rage: "How dare you!"

"Leng Yun, you are indeed extraordinary. How about a match with me?" Liu Feng said.

Leng Yun sneered: "I've already killed Wang Jiu, do you still want to try?"

Liu Feng was so intimidated by Leng Yun's appearance that he dared not utter another word.

"Whether you're willing or not is entirely up to you. When the Leng family arrives, not only will you lose half of the treasure, but the entire Liu family will be wiped out," Leng Yun continued.

Liu Qiang remained silent, staring at Leng Yun with an inscrutable gaze. After a long while, he finally said, "Alright, deal. As long as you can defeat Leng Wuyi's army, half of the treasure is yours."

"Father!" Liu Feng hesitated, but Liu Qiang interrupted him.

"Alright, in that case, please arrange fifty experts from the Liu family, all at or above the Martial Control Realm, for me to set up an array," Leng Yun said.

Fifty experts at the Imperial Martial Realm were not easy for the Liu family, but they still managed to gather them in the end. Everyone except Liu Qiang participated, including Liu Fang and Liu Feng.

The strength of a formation is determined by its grade, and also by the strength of the elements that make up the formation.

The formation is not necessarily made up of people; it can also be made up of magical beasts or magical artifacts. The higher the level, the greater the power of the formation.

Leng Yun now possesses the Yang Burning Lamp Ruler and the Flowing Light Ring, which can be used to set up formations in place of humans. However, he still doesn't trust the Liu family, and it's inevitable that some people will be tempted by these high-level treasures.

Moreover, using experts at the Martial Control Realm to set up an array is sufficient to deal with the Leng family.

Therefore, Leng Yun decided not to flaunt his wealth and not to use his divine weapon.

While Leng Yun was busy setting up battle formations around the Liu family mansion, Leng Wuyi's army had already set off.

The Leng family mobilized a force of nearly 200 people, the weakest of whom were experts at the seventh level of the Flower Martial Realm or above. Many of these people were unwilling to participate in the war, but they had no choice but to obey Leng Wuyi's tyrannical power.

A major battle is about to break out in Flame City. For decades, the four families have been developing peacefully in Flame City, but now, due to Leng Wuyi's ambition, this peace is about to be broken.

The people walking around were intimidated by the imposing presence of the Leng family's army, but they did not linger and hurried on their way, fearing that the impending war would affect them.

In particular, the people around the Liu family mansion have basically all moved out. They either went to visit relatives, went to other places, or stayed in a dilapidated temple in the city.

The entire city of Flame was filled with displaced people and homeless people, which showed how much the people resented the war.

When Leng Wuyi arrived at the Liu family mansion, he saw two people standing at the gate:

One is Liu Qiang.

And the other one was actually Leng Yun!
