Chapter 423
“This …” Xie Yi did not expect that he would be forced to fight on the battlefield after coming up with the idea. His expression changed drastically. Even though his cultivation was not bad, he was still weaker than most of the people present. Asking him, the weakest among them, to fight Xiao Chen and the Lion King? Wasn’t that asking him to die?
“Why?
Is there a problem?
Do you not have confidence in the crossbow or in yourself? “Xie Dayu saw the difficult expression on Xie Yi’s face and asked lightly.
“Patriarch is wise!”
Hearing Xie Dayu’s words, Xie Yi was almost moved to tears. He hurriedly flattered Xie Dayu and then said in a serious tone, “Patriarch, although the crossbow is powerful, it also needs the cooperation and protection of strong people to have the best effect. Otherwise, when the enemy rushes over, the crossbow won’t be able to fire …”
“Well, that makes sense.”
Xie Dayu nodded seriously and ordered, “How about this, First Elder, Second Elder, Fifth Elder, you three pick any strong people from the Xie Clan and bring enough crossbows to stop Xiao Chen and the Lion King. At the same time, you can use my name to order the strong people from the nearby cities to attack Xiao Chen with you. I don’t care about the process, I only care about the result. Take action immediately!”
“Uh … Yes, Patriarch.”
Hearing that they were dragged into this mess by Xie Yi, Xie Xuan and Xie Ren glared at Xie Yi and then reluctantly accepted Xie Dayu’s order. They had no choice, even though they were powerful elders, they had to listen to the patriarch’s order. Otherwise, they would be violating the rules of the clan and would be severely punished.
Soon, Xie Xuan, Xie Ren, and Xie Yi left to prepare to stop Xiao Chen and the Lion King. The current situation had forced the Xie family to intervene. The Xie family and Xiao Chen were mortal enemies, and there was no room for negotiation. They had to fight to the death, and a head-on battle was unavoidable.
Xiao Chen had become famous in the battle of Ruyang City. Moreover, he had gained a fierce and evil reputation. His iron-blooded killings and crazy robberies had made all the cities and families of the Moonwatch tribe afraid. They were afraid that they would be the next one. If they were targeted by Xiao Chen and his demon bandit brother, the Lion King, even if they did not die, they would become poor within a day.
An hour later, Xie Xuan, Xie Ren, and Xie Yi, the three elders of the Xie Clan, along with 500 Blood Bear experts of the Xie Clan, rushed out of the Xie Clan’s front gate on their ferghana horses. They galloped on the main road of the Immortal Jade City, looking majestic and mighty.
The experts of the Xie Family were dispatched!
At the same time that the Xie Clan’s powerhouses set out, the other nine great clans of the Immortal Jade City, which had been secretly ordered by Xie Dayu, were also pressured by the Xie Clan. Each clan sent a Purple Elephant Realm powerhouse to lead 300 White Tiger Realm and Blood Bear Realm powerhouses of the other clans towards the Xie Clan’s powerhouses, and finally followed behind them.
The Immortal Jade City, including the Xie Clan, had a total of ten major clans. The combined strength of the ten major clans was much stronger than the combined strength of the nine major clans of the Sha Di City. In addition, there were thousands of small and medium-sized clans, with a total population of millions. In the entire Qilin Kingdom, it was considered a first-class city.
“Da Da Da!”
More than 3,000 powerful experts were galloping on the main road of the Immortal Jade City, heading towards the South City Gate. The sound of the horses’ hooves resounded throughout the Immortal Jade City, scaring countless passersby to avoid them. Some timid people simply ran back to their homes and closed their doors.
Three thousand martial artists were fully armed, and the Purple Elephant Realm experts had middle-grade desolate artefacts. The three elders of the Xie Clan even had sixth-grade desolate artefacts. The Full Moon Tribe was really rich, much richer than the Killing God Tribe.
It was no wonder that Xiao Chen could obtain more than 20 million purple gold taels from robbing a relatively large city. If Xiao Chen and Da Huang could rob the Immortal Jade City, it would not be a problem for them to obtain 100 million purple gold taels.
What made the passersby and the nine major clans feel strange was that they found that the mounts of the 500 experts of the Xie Clan had two waterproof tarpaulin wrapped around them. They did not know what was inside.
The experts of the Xie Clan naturally knew what was wrapped in tarpaulin. It was a military crossbow and a bundle of crossbow bolts.
This was the secret weapon of the Xie Clan to deal with Xiao Chen and the Lion King. They could not easily expose it before reaching the battlefield, lest the news leak out and reach the ears of Xiao Chen.
The Xie Clan led the experts of the Immortal Jade City towards the South. In front of them, there were already many high-level scouts inquiring about the whereabouts of Xiao Chen and the Lion King. Although they had not heard anything yet, Xiao Chen and Da Huang would appear sooner or later. Xiao Chen’s ultimate goal should be the Xie Clan. Therefore, Xiao Chen would definitely head north.
The reason why Xie Dayu sent the experts of the Xie Clan out of the Immortal Jade City to stop Xiao Chen and the Lion King was because he wanted to prevent the Immortal Jade City from turning into a battlefield. Once the Immortal Jade City turned into a battlefield, an ancient city like the Immortal Jade City would be destroyed. At that time, the losses would be huge.
If they could stop and kill Xiao Chen and the Lion King on the way, it would be the best result. If it did not work, then they would have to ask the Patriarch of the Xie Clan. If it did not work, then they would have to alarm the ultimate weapon of the Xie Clan, the Xie Clan’s ancestor.
Because of the existence of the Xie Clan’s Patriarch and the Xie Clan’s ancestor, although Xie Dayu was afraid of the Lion King, he was not afraid. He was quite confident in the deep heritage of the Xie Clan. If his father and grandfather joined hands, even if the Lion King was a seventh-grade Beast King, only death would be left for him.
However, was the Lion King really so easy to deal with?
Currently, the Lion King was extremely powerful and could easily kill a super expert of the Dragon Elephant Realm. Those who were not peerless experts of the Earth Dragon Realm would not be able to defeat him. Who was strong and who was weak could only be determined after a fight.
Because the silver horn of the Lion King was too terrifying and mysterious. The silver lightning-like energy it released could easily break through the Demonic Blood Armor activated by the Fifth Elder of the Black Magic Pavilion, whose strength had temporarily reached the 2nd Stage of the Earth Dragon Realm. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
Who knew if the silver lightning could be resisted by releasing the Power of Desolation?
Presumably, it should be possible, right?
Otherwise, the Lion King could completely sweep away all the experts of the Dragon Elephant Realm. It was estimated that he was not so abnormal. However, the speed of the silver lightning-like energy was incredibly fast, as if it had directly passed through time and space. Even a Dragon Elephant Realm expert would find it difficult to avoid and intercept it, right?
The identity of the Lion King seemed to be even more mysterious than Xiao Chen. Generally, a powerful Beast King could only cultivate to the sixth grade. Only the descendants of Holy Beasts and Mythological Beasts could continue to advance to the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade. As for the descendants of Holy Beasts and Mythological Beasts, advancing to the ninth grade was the limit. It was estimated that there might not even be any ninth grade wild beasts in the Wilderness God Continent, let alone Holy Beasts and Mythological Beasts.
“Is Xiao Chen going to attack the Immortal Jade City?”
The joint action of the Xie Clan and the other nine great clans shook thousands of small and medium-sized clans in the Immortal Jade City. They all thought that Xiao Chen might go straight to the Immortal Jade City. This was entirely possible, because Xiao Chen had the powerful Lion King, and Xiao Chen had the capital to do so.
The strength of Xiao Chen’s side was beyond the expectations of most of the experts of the Moonwatch Tribe. Many of the experts who dreamed of defeating Xiao Chen retreated, because they were not worthy of being Xiao Chen’s opponent. If they participated in the battle, they would only die in vain. Now they just wanted to watch the battle between Xiao Chen and the Xie Clan from a distance, to see who would be the final winner.
