Chapter 601: Chapter 293: Desperate for the Soul of Death!_3
The Qingdian Clan can target the Town Rock Clan, so why can’t I target the Qingdian Clan!?
In recent days, in the entire Rock Peak City, conflicts and disputes have been happening around the clock.
A strong force is bound to have many allies, but also many enemies.
Rock Peak City, like a whirlpool, attracts guests from all directions, many of whom are antagonistic forces.
These opposing forces, under normal circumstances, avoid each other in their own territories to maintain peace.
But in Rock Peak City, when these opposing forces meet, sparks are bound to fly.
Rock Peak City has become a chaotic mess, and the Qingdian Clan simply does not have the manpower to handle it.
Fortunately, all the major forces still fear the Ten-thousand Nations Federation, and so, even in the face of their enemies, they have much restrained their actions.
Therefore, no severe bloodshed incidents have occurred.
In a grand old house in Rock Peak City, a robust elder with white hair and beard is anxiously looking into the distance.
Just then, an old woman walked in.
The old woman looked very depleted, as if she had been under immense torment day and night.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, the robust elder turned to see the old woman and sighed sympathetically.
He quickly fetched a large poncho and draped it over the old woman.
“Your health has always been poor. The wind in Rock Peak City has been strong recently. I don’t know why the people who take care of you did not add more clothes for you!”
Ignoring the elder’s concerns, the old woman brushed off the black poncho, which immediately fell to the ground.
“Sun Hao, do not pretend to care for me. Ever since you decided to poison the Town Rock Clan, our friendship has been over!”
“I wish you would die soon to relieve the hatred in my heart!”
Hearing this, the robust elder’s face turned ash-white, but he didn’t try to justify himself.
After a moment, he finally spoke.
“Your hatred will eventually fade.”
“Seeing as you came all this way to find me but have nothing to say, I will leave this beautiful scenery to you!”
With that, he left the room.
As the evening approached, the elder asked a striking middle-aged man who bore a slight resemblance to him in a secret chamber.
“Cheng, you went to the royal court today. What was their response?”
This middle-aged man looked quite stately but due to his constant frowning, he seemed rather gloomy.
On hearing the elder, the man’s frown deepened.
“Father, I went to the royal court today and not a single direct descendant of the Qingdian Clan showed their face!”
“I was received by two members of side branches the whole time.”
“Just before I left, another side branch member relayed a message to tell us to just wait at home for orders!”
“All the promising, as well as the unremarkable, youngsters of our Luanyue Clan have been summoned to the royal court to be held as hostages by the Qingdian Clan.”
“After all these years, our Luanyue Clan is just a toy to be played with in the eyes of the Qingdian Clan.”
“Now that a large part of the Panfeng Federation’s foundation has been destroyed by the tide of the undead flowing from this ancient battlefield.”
“Why don’t we put all our efforts into rescuing our young ones from the royal court and then move the entire clan out of the Panfeng Federation?”
Upon hearing this, the elder slammed his hand down on the table.
“Nonsense! The royal court is not a place our Luanyue Clan can break into easily!”
“You’re well aware of the number of Beast Controlling Forces hidden in the royal court.”
“These Beast Controlling Forces have teamed up with the Qingdian Clan and, until we completely explore this ancient battlefield, they will undoubtedly stand by the Qingdian Clan!”
Finishing his sentence, the elder silently added in his heart.
Even without those Beast Controlling Forces, the Luanyue Clan is no match for the Qingdian Clan. This is a hard gap in power.
If the Luanyue Clan was more powerful than the Qingdian Clan, then the force holding the royal court of the Panfeng Federation wouldn’t be the Qingdian Clan, it would be the Luanyue Clan!
The elder had foreseen this outcome as soon as he learned that the Qingdian Clan wanted the Luanyue Clan to poison the Town Rock Clan.
If they did not follow the orders of the Qingdian Clan back then, the Luanyue Clan would have shared the same fate as the Town Rock Clan.
The elder had agreed to the demands of the Qingdian Clan in hopes of finding an opportunity to save themselves.
But he has yet to find any such opportunity, and this has left him feeling rather hopeless.
It feels like a cancer patient watching their life slip away, unable to receive any treatment.
The elder had thought about leaving the Luanyue Clan members held hostage in the Royal Court to fend for themselves and taking the core members of the Luanyue Clan to escape.
But the Qingdian Clan would not give the Luanyue Clan such a chance.
Their old residence was surrounded by countless spies from the Qingdian Clan, all constantly monitoring the situation.
“Cheng, go to the royal court again tomorrow. Whether they see you or not, we must make our stance clear!”
“You may go now. Let me be alone for a while!”
Upon hearing these words, Sun Cheng’s gloomy expression deepened.
But in the end, Sun Cheng didn’t defy Sun Hao’s orders because, right now, he had no better solutions.
After Sun Cheng left, Sun Hao slammed his fist onto the old sandalwood table in front of him.
The old sandalwood table, which Sun Hao usually cherished, was shattered by his punch.
Even though the spies of the Qingdian Clan were monitoring their old residence, they could not see into the secret chambers of the Luanyue Clan.
Sun Hao could vent his anger in the secret room without any worries.
At this moment, Sun Hao sensed a faint disturbance in the space a meter away from him, and a youthful voice sounded in his ears.
“Mysterious Butterfly Purple Sandalwood is a rare and valuable wood in a place like the Panfeng Federation.”
“Smashing this table would mean you do not have it once the Luanyue Clan weathers this storm.”
The scene in front of him was beyond Sun Hao’s understanding.
Sun Hao only heard the voice but saw no one, leaving him uncertain whether the mysterious speaker was a friend or an enemy.
However, after pondering over what Fang Mu had said, Sun Hao immediately trembled with excitement.
