Chapter 163: Chapter 163: War Breaks Out
This battle.
The Shenxiao Pavilion must fight.
Because retreating would only make the Shenxiao Pavilion a joke.
Unless the Su Family compromises.
But that’s impossible. If the Su Family were to compromise, why would they tear faces with the Shenxiao Pavilion?
Why would they drive the Shenxiao Pavilion to a dead end?
"Strange? Why is there still no movement?"
"And no one is speaking, what is happening with them?"
"Aren’t they going to start a war? Why not give the order?"
Countless cultivators all felt very puzzled, however, no one dared to voice it out.
Neither the opposing sides nor the many onlooking cultivators spoke, it was as if the entire Imperial City had become quiet.
Hundreds of powerful members of the Shenxiao Pavilion arrived at the Su Family, but did not immediately take action, and no one spoke.
Within the Su Family.
Su Xiangyang and the elder also did not speak, the gradually arriving family powerful members, and the Su Family’s allies, were also very silent.
This bizarre scene left everyone baffled.
In the luxurious hall of the Su Family.
Yao Qinghe frowned and asked in confusion, "Strange, why hasn’t the Shenxiao Pavilion made a move yet? What are they waiting for? Or perhaps they’re afraid of something?"
Yi Tianjun nodded and said, "I find it odd too, the Shenxiao Pavilion is already driven to a dead end, how could they be afraid of a single family?"
"They’re not afraid." Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly and said, "Since the Shenxiao Pavilion has come, they naturally are not afraid of the Su Family, but they do not dare act rashly."
"The Su Family’s strength is not weak, the Su Patriarch is at the Middle Stage of Divinity Transformation, the Su Family Great Elder has also reached the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation, the Shenxiao Pavilion will not find it easy to deal with the Su Family."
Yao Qinghe clenched his fist again and said viciously, "No matter what, Donghuang War has dared to make a move against our ancestor, he must not be spared, today let the Shenxiao Pavilion come and never leave!"
Yi Tianjun looked at Gu Chenfeng and respectfully said, "Ancestor! I will immediately send a message to the elder! The teleportation array has been restored, the strong members of the Medicine God Hall will soon arrive at the Imperial City."
"No rush, let’s wait and see." Gu Chenfeng waved his hand.
Nie Yuan asked in confusion, "Ancestor, why aren’t we going out? Donghuang War is only at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul."
Gu Chenfeng shrugged with a smile and said, "For certain reasons, I’m afraid if we go out, we might scare him away, at least let’s wait until the war starts before going out."
"Scare him away?" Yao Qinghe and the others were astonished.
"Last time, Su Shisan and I..." Gu Chenfeng then recounted the events.
"It’s the Yinyang family after all." Yao Qinghe and the others finally understood.
Last time, Donghuang War was scared out of his wits by Yinyang Wan’Er.
If he encounters Gu Chenfeng again, Donghuang War might really flee.
Yao Qinghe furrowed his brows and said solemnly, "Ancestor, the Yinyang family’s strength is terrifying, not below our Medicine God Hall. Ancestor, you must be careful."
"Ancestor, I’ve heard from the Vice Hall Master and the elders that the Yinyang family is very mysterious. They rose later and are a terrifying force, their strength is on par with, or even surpasses, the Soul-Devouring Sect," Yi Tianjun added.
Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "This Yinyang family is indeed very strong."
Time passed for more than ten minutes.
The powerful members that should have arrived at the Su Family did indeed arrive.
Although their strength was not very strong, their numbers were substantial.
In the Su Family Mansion, the surrounding pavilions, and even in mid-air, were all strong members from different families and powers, greatly outnumbering the several hundred from the Shenxiao Pavilion.
The gap in strength between the two sides was not large. If a war truly broke out, the Shenxiao Pavilion would certainly suffer heavy casualties.
Above the Su Family residence
"Su Patriarch, have all the people from the Su Family arrived?" Pavilion Master Donghuang Haotian broke the silence, and a terrifying aura of Late Stage of Divinity Transformation erupted.
"Pavilion Master Shenxiao, let’s not waste words, if it’s a battle you want, then a battle you shall have, my Su Family will accompany you to the end!" Su Xiangyang fearlessly declared, releasing his formidable Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation aura as well.
"Your Su Family wants to cut off my Shenxiao Pavilion’s escape route, I, the pavilion master, will not let your Su Family have it easy!" The Pavilion Master Shenxiao said grimly, his eyes flashing with a touch of sinister murderous intent.
Su Xiangyang slowly floated into the air, pointing angrily at Donghuang War, "Pavilion Master Shenxiao, my Su Family has never held a grudge against the Shenxiao Pavilion, but Donghuang War wishes to kill my son, and afterwards gave no explanation to my Su Family. You have completely disregarded my Su Family!"
"Now you still have the face to come to my Su Family, and claim my Su Family cut off your escape route. If no one had saved my son back then, he would have already been dead! Do you really think my Su Family is afraid of your Shenxiao Pavilion? Even if it means the destruction of the Su Family, this patriarch will let you know, my Su Family is not to be trifled with!"
Upon hearing the Su Patriarch’s furious shout, the countless onlooking cultivators displayed looks of shock on their faces.
"Donghuang Young Master wants to kill Su Shisan?"
"No wonder Su Shisan used the Su Family Order against the Shenxiao Pavilion, no wonder the Su Patriarch didn’t stop him."
"Turns out he almost got killed, looks like we all misunderstood Young Master Su."
The onlookers finally understood what was going on.
And finally realized why Su Shisan used the Su Family Order to cut ties with the Shenxiao Pavilion.
Not to mention Su Shisan, even if it were anyone else here, they would probably do even more drastically than Su Shisan did.
The Pavilion Master Shenxiao said in anger, "This Pavilion Master has already sent disciples to apologize, but your Su Family refused to accept it."
Su Shisan clenched his fists, gritting his teeth and shouted angrily, "I was almost killed by Donghuang War, and you sent some random disciple to apologize. Is that an apology? You are insulting my Su Family!"
"I, Su Shisan, even sent back the Shenxiao Pavilion disciple to deliver a message, telling Donghuang War to apologize to me in front of everyone in the Imperial City within three days, and this matter would be let go, but he did not come."
"My Su Family has given your Shenxiao Pavilion enough face, but your Shenxiao Pavilion doesn’t respect my Su Family, let alone this young master of mine!"
"Donghuang Haotian, I, Su Shisan, am telling you, make Donghuang War kneel and apologize to me now, and there’s still time, otherwise my Su Family will risk everything to heavily damage your Shenxiao Pavilion. By then, your Shenxiao Pavilion will not be spared from destruction!"
Su Shisan’s series of furious outbursts completely vented the anger in his heart.
The many onlooking cultivators were all stunned by Su Shisan’s words.
No one expected that the usually arrogant and domineering Su Shisan, when truly provoked, could be so ruthless and merciless.
"If that’s the case, then there’s nothing left to discuss." Donghuang Haotian said coldly, terrifying Gold Attribute Spiritual Power accompanied by a chilling killing intent erupted.
"I, the patriarch, never intended to negotiate with you. My son nearly died, and I am willing to stake my life to make the Shenxiao Pavilion pay a painful price!" Su Xiangyang said viciously, unleashing his formidable Wood Attribute Spiritual Power with full force.
"Is that so?" Donghuang Haotian coldly replied, "I’m afraid you don’t have the ability."
Donghuang Haotian, being in the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation, was a realm stronger than Su Xiangyang.
But just this one realm made a world of difference in their power disparity.
Su Xiangyang, unfazed in the slightest, then grabbed from a distance, summoning a King’s Sword, and said ruthlessly, "Kill without mercy!"
