"Alright, esteemed ancestors, please settle in."
"This whole affair, you see, has to begin with that young lad from the Lin family of Great Shang, Lin Zhan, who is now the Human Emperor's son."
"Word has it, he took a fancy to the Immortal Princess of the Immortal Clan during the Myriad Races War. And after this battle, these two young souls who already admired each other, their relationship blossomed beyond mere friendship, didn't it?"
"After the Myriad Races War, with the Human Clan victorious, these two youngsters parted ways. But they were both in the throes of young love. Once separated, they simply couldn't bear the longing for each other. So, the Human Clan, to facilitate their reunion, started another war. And with this opportunity to wage war, these two lovebirds, well, they were reunited."
"Third Generation Ancestor, I must say, our young rascal here really does have a knack for storytelling, doesn't he? Look how vividly he paints the picture." The Seventh Generation Divine Ancestor chuckled, speaking to the Third Generation Divine Ancestor.
The assembled Divine Clan ancestors, their eyes wide with curiosity, listened with rapt attention.
"Seventh Grandpa's boy, tell us more about how they were reunited. This ancestor wants to hear all about it," the Ninth Generation Divine Ancestor interjected boisterously. Sudan Novels.
"Later, these two youngsters' affair was discovered. And who discovered it? None other than Dong Hua's twelve foolish sons. Now, if they were normal people, they would have kept it quiet and informed their elders first."
"But the thinking of these fools is different from that of normal people. These few foolish lads directly exposed the matter. Once it became common knowledge, it couldn't be suppressed anymore. And so, that young lad Lin's wife brought people over."
"We don't know what sort of backing this little girl has, but all nine armies of the Human Clan arrived. Upon their arrival, they immediately took control of the Immortal Clan's army and then proceeded to cripple those foolish sons of Dong Hua."
"As it turns out, Dong Hua is also a man who values his reputation. So, he brought his people over. Then, people from Great Shang also arrived. Initially, this matter could have been resolved through negotiation. But then, Lin family's young lady discovered she was pregnant. And the old fellow Yan Emperor himself showed up. Upon examination, it turned out to be a pair of twin boys."
"And that's when things got truly lively. Your son is sowing wild oats outside, and his wife is bearing twins for your Great Shang. Even if you wanted to allow that little lass from the Immortal Clan to enter the family, you couldn't. Otherwise, how would people whisper behind your back?"
"Dong Hua had originally intended to leverage his daughter's status to force Lin family's young man to divorce his wife, making his own daughter the primary consort. But then he saw that this involved the Gonggong clan of the Shennong tribe, the great figure Hou Yi of the Witch tribe, the Eastern Yi tribe, the Three Miao tribes, and even the Serpent Ancestor Tun Tian, Chi You, and the Dragon Empress. These old timers were all standing behind this Lin family wife."
"Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Dong Hua shifted the blame onto Zi Qi. Zi Qi, at this moment, was overjoyed to have gained two healthy grandsons of the direct lineage. How could he tolerate Dong Hua? And so, the two started arguing. Look, they might even end up fighting."
After hearing this, the assembled Divine Ancestors exchanged bewildered glances: "Um, Third Generation Ancestor, do you think our strategy was flawed? If we had sent a few more young ladies from our Divine Ancestor lineage to be concubines for this lad, wouldn't the Human Clan have allied with us long ago?"
The Third Generation Divine Ancestor cast a resentful gaze towards the void above the Divine Ancestors: Damn it, why hasn't that old scoundrel died in there yet?
As the Divine Ancestors were feeling dejected, Dong Hua and Zi Qi finally made their move.
"Immortal Thunder Flash."
"Great Star Fire."
A massive mushroom cloud billowed into the sky from where they clashed.
Lin Zhan blinked in surprise. Just as he was about to draw his saber and order the entire army forward, the Four Great Ruffians beside him stopped him: "Don't be rash, boy. Why are you so impatient? Be steady."
"Zi Qi, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you don't give me an explanation by tomorrow morning, don't blame me for forming an alliance with the Divine Clan and dealing with you together."
The Divine Clan members were taken aback:
What?
An alliance with the Divine Clan?
Holy cow, this good fortune came too suddenly.
Come on, Brother Dong Hua, let's not wait until tomorrow morning. If you agree now, we'll attack the Human Clan immediately.
The Divine Ancestors desperately wished they could fly to Ancestor Dong Hua's side and persuade him.
Meanwhile, on the Human Clan's side, everyone was equally stunned. Before Zi Qi could even speak, Lin Zhan soared into the air and declared, "All troops, listen to my command! Target the Immortal Clan's encampment..."
Before Lin Zhan could finish, Zhang Lingxiu, pulling Xian'er along, arrived at the scene under the escort of Linglong and Jiuli Mei'er.
"Come down! What's all the fuss about? Are you trying to show off? Do you think no one else can solve this problem without you?"
Then, Zhang Lingxiu turned to the commanders of the nine major armies and said, "You guys too. If he tells you to fight someone, you fight them. If he told you to go home and fight your own father, would you do that too?"
"Fight..." The nine commanders nodded in unison.
"Beat them to death..." Wang Er Zhuang shouted loudly.
Zhang Lingxiu glared at Lin Zhan exasperatedly and said, "See? Look at who you've turned them into. Scram home and stay there."
Lin Zhan was yanked away by his ear by his wife.
As he was leaving, Zhang Lingxiu performed a junior's salute to Dong Hua and said, "Senior Dong Hua, since ancient times, there have been elders and juniors, and precedence. Regarding this matter, I hope Senior will consider it calmly."
"Our Human Clan, from the time of Chaos to the present, has endured countless wars. No matter who it is, if they wish to fight, our Human warriors will always answer the call, be ready to fight, and be able to win."
After speaking, Zhang Lingxiu turned to Zi Qi and bowed again: "Ancestor, this matter originated with Lin Zhan. I hope Ancestor will handle it with wisdom. Your granddaughter-in-law takes her leave."
Zi Qi nodded. Zhang Lingxiu's words, "Our Human warriors will always answer the call, be ready to fight, and be able to win," resonated deeply within every member of the Human Clan present.
"Dong Hua, you should go back and consider it carefully tonight. If you wish to fight, our Human Clan will accompany you to the very end. However, I also hope you will understand. Whichever clan dares to spill Human blood."
"Our Human Clan will undoubtedly mobilize all our forces, annihilate their clan, destroy their race, and eradicate their descendants. I urge you to act with caution."
Following this, he turned to the nine major armies and commanded, "Release the Immortal Clan's troops."
"Furthermore, issue an order for the entire army to prepare for combat. Young Master Leng and Young Master Jiang will be responsible for formulating the operational plan."
"Zi Tang and Zi Xin will lead the Great Shang elites to patrol the camps and prevent any surprise attacks from the Divine Clan."
"Understood..."
The entire Human Clan army, like a perfectly calibrated machine, once again began to act with precision and speed.
The assembled Divine Clan members, who had been observing the spectacle, burst into laughter: "Good! Good! This time, it truly looks like a war is about to break out."
