Chapter 221: I’m Just Taking Something Along the Way (1)

Translator: 549690339

From the very beginning, Zhu Wuyan had not killed Zhen Zuonian on purpose.

If Zhen Zuonian hadn’t wanted to kill him, Zhu Wuwan wouldn’t have killed him. However, he didn’t expect that this would become the fuse of the war between the Zhen Clan and the Zhu Clan. Zhen Zuonian was the first Foundation Establishment cultivator to die in the war between the two clans.

Zhu Wuyang really didn’t expect this.

As for Zhen Wuying, he had already infiltrated Huoyuan Peak to assassinate and kill people, including Zhu Wuyang. Zhu Wuyang didn’t believe that Zhen Wuying wouldn’t kill him if he saw him.

If Zhu Wuwan hadn’t discovered him first, he might have been discovered by Zhen Wuying. At that time, Zhen Wuying would definitely kill him.

In addition, Zhen Wuying had stolen so many treasures and elixirs, forcing Zhu Wuyang to kill him for the treasures. Therefore, Zhu Wuyang had no choice but to make a move.

However, Zhu Wuwan didn’t expect Zhen Wuying to further intensify the conflict between the Zhen and Zhu Clans, causing the two clans to suspect each other and fight each other.

Zhu Wuyang felt wronged as well. He didn’t mean it that way at first.

The third time, it was even more not Zhu Wanwan’s fault. Her great-aunt, Zhu Wanzi, who loved him and protected him, was exterminated by the entire Zhen family. Any man with courage would not let the murderer off. Zhu Wanwan only did what a man should do.

As for inciting a war between the Zhen Clan and the Zhu Clan because of this, how could Zhu Wanhao be blamed?

After these three incidents, a great war was unavoidable. The Zhen Clan and the Zhu Clan would fight to the death.

As for Zhu Wuyang continuing to take revenge and taking advantage of this opportunity to gain some personal gain, that was just a matter of convenience. It had little to do with the war. After all, if there were no later matters, the war would still continue. It was just that it might not worsen so quickly.

Zhu Wuan had helped them cut through the Gordian knot so that they could end the war as soon as possible and determine the victor. However, he did not expect the Grand Elder Ou Yangming to come out of seclusion at this time.

Facing the Zhen Clan and the forces of the various surnames, the Zhu Clan acted as if they were facing a great enemy. They mobilized all the cultivators and used the Red Cloud Peak’s Protective Mountain Array as a barrier to resist the Zhen Clan and the forces of the various surnames.

Before the battle, the First Elder Zhu Detong, the Second Elder Zhu Qingfeng, and the others issued a declaration of war, calling on all their clansmen to fight to the death.

“Although I haven’t found out who the murderer is, and whether he’s harming us or helping us, things have developed to this point. Our Zhu Clan has obviously reached a critical moment of life and death. You can either resist and fight to the death, or you can surrender and wait to be killed. Everyone should know what to choose, so I don’t need to say anything more.”

” The Zhen Clan and the various factions have gone too far. This matter wasn’t our Zhu Clan’s doing in the first place, and our Zhu Clan was also the victim. However, the Zhen Clan and the various factions have blamed everything on our Zhu Clan. Since they want to fight, then we’ll accompany them to the end. ”

“With the Red Cloud Peak’s Protective Mountain Array, even if the number of enemies is much higher than ours, we can still hold on.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Come with me and kill someone!”

The cultivators of the Zhu Clan suddenly stood up, and thousands of immortal cultivators went up with grim expressions, ready to fight to the death with the Zhen Clan and the other forces.

The two sides soon met halfway up the Red Cloud Peak. They sized each other up through layers of array formations and gritted their teeth.

” You can still live if the heavens bring evil upon you, but you can’t live if you bring evil upon yourself. Zhu Clan, in order to protect your position as the overlord, you have done countless things. Today, our Zhen Clan and the other forces will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens. ”

“It’s fine if the Zhen Clan is muddle-headed, but there are so many smart people in the various forces. Can’t they see that someone is trying to sow discord? Not only were the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the various forces bullied, but their magic tools and treasures were also stolen. It’s the same for our Zhu Clan. Can’t you see that many of our Foundation Establishment cultivators have lost their magic tools?”

“Who knows if you’re hiding or not? Perhaps you’re just using this to confuse our vision and make the various powers retreat so that we can watch as you annihilate our Zhen Clan before dealing with the various powers.”

” Hehe, we’ll know if it’s true or not when we fight. When we were faced with a life and death crisis, many of our Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn’t even take out their magic tools. Isn’t this enough to prove the problem? ”

” Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you want us to believe you, then you should just wait for us to capture you. After we’re done with our inspection, we’ll let you go if there’s no problem. ”

Naturally, the Zhu Clan couldn’t just sit back and wait to be captured. Therefore, the shouting at the front of the formation soon failed, and both sides were about to fight.

“Boom…”

At this moment, a thousand-meter-long sword Qi fell from the sky and slashed fiercely between the two sides. It cut a huge gully in the Red Cloud Peak and separated the two sides.

Everyone was shocked, and they looked in the direction of the sword Qi. They saw the Hundred Poisons Sect’s Great Elder, Ou Yangming Mingyi, riding on a flying sword and arriving with Zhu Wuyang at lightning speed. He hovered in front of the two parties, and his aged face was cold and stern.

” You guys are really good. I’ve only been cultivating in seclusion for more than eighty years, and you’ve already turned the Hundred Poisons Sect into a mess. You’re even jealous of the talented and suppress the geniuses, scaring the young geniuses into not revealing their talents. You’ve lost so many resources and treasures, and wasted so much time and energy. ”

” Now, our Hundred Poisons Sect has become the laughing stock of the Southern Wasteland. We’re being targeted by many enemies. We’re just waiting for you to decide who’s the winner and who’s the loser today. After both sides suffer heavy losses, we’ll be wiped out. ”

His voice was like a great bell that shook the crowd. Everyone was so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed to Ou Yangming to apologize.

” Supreme Elder, please understand that we were forced to do so. All the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the various forces were bullied and robbed by the Zhu Clan’s murderer. All the treasures were gone. We had no other choice, so we came to the Red Cloud Peak to seek justice. ”

” The Zhu Clan has killed so many Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation cultivators of our Zhen Clan. They have massacred Green Field Peak and Maple Leaf Peak, and they have committed heinous crimes. By doing so, our Zhen Clan is trying to clear the root of the problem and return justice to our Hundred Poisons Sect. ”

” Supreme Elder, you’re being wrongly accused. These things weren’t done by our Zhu Clan at all. On the contrary, our Zhu Clan was also the victim. Nearly half of the Foundation Establishment cultivators were bullied and robbed, and many treasure vaults and resources were swept clean. The Zhen Clan and the other forces are all wrongly accusing us. “
