Wan Lei did not know Elder Qu well, only having been led by Elder Qu to receive a few rewards.
He only knew that this elder had kind eyes and a permanent smile, always cheerful whether facing other elders or disciples. He never put on airs, was always accommodating, and had an excellent reputation within the sect.
It could be said that in a Yin Yang Sect where laziness prevailed, having such a diligent elder was truly rare.
Such a good person had died under the siege of that group of Mahayana stage cultivators.
One could imagine how desperate and helpless Elder Qu must have been in the end to choose self-destruction.
Preferring to be pulverized rather than have his head taken by the enemy.
This was the pride of the Yin Yang Sect, the unyielding spirit of a Mahayana expert.
"The Liu family, the Wu family, the Zhou family, the Dun family, plus two rogue cultivators – six people bullying one. This is too much, too much!"
Wan Lei’s voice was squeezed through his teeth.
"Everyone, let's analyze the situation first."
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Wan Lei, who had his fists clenched and eyes full of hatred, then sat down on a chair.
"The situation is clear now. We have killed six of the fifteen Mahayana stage cultivators, leaving nine. Excluding the Yin Yang Sect, Kui Lian Sect, and the Fang family, the remaining six have all joined forces.
Their alliance is targeted. Because the other three families are on very good terms with me and Wan Lei, they don't need to fight desperately to obtain heads to complete their missions.
But these six are different; they must unite to kill other Mahayana stage cultivators.
However, everyone, there's a problem…"
Fang Xiaoyu's gaze swept coldly over everyone.
"That is, even if they kill all three Mahayana stage cultivators, there won't be enough heads to share. Therefore, the only way for all six of them to obtain heads is through us.
In other words, we will be their ultimate target. It could be said that our achievements have forced them together. They have no other choice.
"But, they only needed to send two or three Mahayana stage cultivators to kill Elder Qu Ya. Why reveal their full strength?"
Sui Xiaohang was somewhat puzzled.
"They are putting pressure on me, letting me know that they have united. Elder Qu is a warning to me, urging me to be sensible and hand over what they want.
This is one reason. The second is that I've put too much pressure on them. Those families don't want me to live.
They are also afraid that I will kill them all one by one.
And then there's the possibility… what if I grow strong? The Wan family, hehe, the Wan family!
Six families!
So, they want to nip me in the bud here."
Wan Lei kicked over a table and roared,
"This is a declaration of war against me! They are clearly showing me their stance, telling me they will kill me!
Fine, then let's fight. I'm not afraid of them. This time, I will make them all die in the Water Lily Secret Realm to avenge Elder Qu!"
"Calm down. With our current strength, we cannot fight against six Mahayana stage cultivators simultaneously. Even if we can hold on, what about them?
Can they withstand the attacks of Mahayana stage cultivators? I fear our side would be annihilated the moment the fight begins.
Sit down calmly and think of a solution."
Fang Xiaoyu grabbed Wan Lei and pushed him back into the chair.
"We do need to think of a solution."
Wan Lei wiped his face, forcing himself to calm down.
"The enemy is coming aggressively. We must strengthen our forces as quickly as possible and gather warriors. Those six people are at least six tribes, and with their abilities, plundering more tribes won't be a problem.
By then, the enemy's numbers will grow, perhaps reaching hundreds of thousands. We must be prepared.
"I will immediately contact the elders of the Fang family and the Kui Lian Sect. The enemy's next target will undoubtedly be them. Whether it's to protect themselves or to strengthen our forces, we must have them gather here as soon as possible."
Fang Xiaoyu spoke rapidly, already taking out his communication jade slip to contact others.
"Not only that, but we must also quickly contact the others from the Yin Yang Sect, Kui Lian Sect, and Fang family, and have them bring their teams immediately to gather and confront the enemy.
Tell them that their only hope of survival is by following us. If we die, they will also perish in this Land of Destiny.
Sui Xiaohang, Tian Suanzi, contact the others from the Four Great Heavenly Pavilions.
Wan Liuchuan, contact the others of the Heavenly Scourge, and ask if they are willing to cooperate with me temporarily.
Liu Yuxin… never mind, you are fine."
Liu Yuxin, after all, was from the Liu family. It would be a good thing if she didn't defect, let alone expect her to contact the Liu family to fight against the Liu family elders?
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuxin remained outwardly calm, but her fingers trembled slightly.
She felt that she was an outsider here, and due to her sensitive identity, Wan Lei could not possibly trust her.
Wan Liuchuan keenly noticed the trembling of her fingers, sighed, and patted her hand.
"I believe you."
These words were spoken by Wan Lei.
"Ah?"
Liu Yuxin looked up in surprise.
"The Liu family is the Liu family, and you are you. Besides, I don't consider the Liu family as enemies. This time, it's the Liu family elders who are targeting me, so naturally, I won't just sit and wait to die.
As long as you don't betray me, I will always believe you. We are partners who have fought side by side. I trust my partners."
Of course, Wan Lei had a hidden meaning.
If you betray me, I will kill you too.
"Heh, well said."
Liu Yuxin sneered and turned to leave, but Wan Liuchuan pulled her back.
"What is it? Aren't you going to discuss important secrets next? If I stay here, won't I be in the way?"
Liu Yuxin scoffed and turned away.
"This brat is still sulking. Wan Liuchuan, you can teach her a lesson later."
"Alright, let's talk business. Now we face the biggest problem."
Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand, his expression solemn and radiating authority.
"What problem?"
"Where are we?"
"Huh?"
"We don't even know where we are. Only those nearby can pinpoint our location. So, how can we let others find us?"
"Uh… if only there was a place everyone knew about."
Wan Lei paced back and forth, then suddenly shouted towards the door,
"Guard, summon the three leaders over. I have something important to discuss!"
"As you command."
Soon, Deng Yan Ge, Yan Ke Jun, and Wu Liang Shu entered together.
"Do you know if there are any landmarks in this Land of Destiny?"
"Uh… divine being, what is a landmark?"
"Damn… it's something everyone knows, and they know where it is as soon as it's mentioned."
"Yes."
"Where?"
"The Great Wall."
