In the Great Xia Imperial Palace.

The Emperor of Great Xia was holding court.

The entire assembly of civil and military officials had received news of the Qin Family's alliance with Tianxin City, and they were aware that the eldest son of the Qin Family had broken through to the Transcendent Realm at the age of eight, creating the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique to defeat Lin San.

Lin San was a disciple of the Sky Sword God, hailed as the number one sword in a hundred years. The growth of the Qin Family's two Heaven's Pride was much faster than imagined.

"The Qin Family and Tianxin City forming an alliance is a blatant disregard for the court!"

"Their intentions are treacherous, truly treacherous!"

"I suggest we deploy troops immediately and destroy them with swift action before their alliance stabilizes."

"Do you think the Qin Family and Tianxin City are so easy to deal with?"

"If they were so easy to deal with, would the court have allowed them to dominate the east and west for so many years?"

"I suggest we negotiate. In recent years, world phenomena have been frequent, and a great era of contention is upon us. We must not fight among ourselves."

"The Yinyue Dynasty has grown stronger since its reforms a century ago, and its ambitions are no longer hidden. Recently, they have even appointed two Heaven's Pride as Holy Sons. They are the true number one enemy of our Great Xia."

"Please consider the bigger picture, Your Majesty. Now is not the time for internal strife."

"........."

The Emperor of Great Xia looked at the two factions of ministers below, unsure of what choice to make.

To resist the invasion of the Yinyue Dynasty, the Great Xia Dynasty needed the unity of all major families, but the price of unity would give the Qin Family's two Heaven's Pride time to grow.

"If only our Great Xia Royal Family could produce a few Heaven's Pride, we wouldn't be in this situation!"

The Emperor lamented the passing of heroes, understanding the root of the problem.

Times change, and while he could accept that, it was sad to see the old waves recede without new ones rising.

………

Qin Family.

Qin Feng sat cross-legged in his courtyard, surrounded by dense spiritual energy.

Since he broke through to the Transcendent Realm, the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Technique couldn't keep up. He had to spend 30,000 Villain Points to activate the Comprehension Aura for a month to comprehend the Third Heaven.

"What terrifying comprehension!"

The Tenth Ancestor stood by, visibly shocked, sensing the changes in Qin Feng's body.

These changes came from cultivating the technique. When a technique is comprehended to a deeper level, it manifests in the body. Qin Feng's physical body was not only becoming stronger but also had a powerful regenerative ability.

While it couldn't bring him back from the dead, regrowing severed limbs shouldn't be a problem.

"What kind of heavenly laws did this child comprehend back then!?"

The Tenth Ancestor had never seen such a technique. Just comprehending the Third Heaven allowed for limb regeneration. If fully comprehended, wouldn't it mean immortality and rebirth from a drop of blood?

With a thud!!

A dull sound came from within Qin Feng's body, and the runes around him burst into blinding golden light. His aura became even more powerful than before, indicating that he not only comprehended the Third Heaven but also broke through to the second level of the Transcendent Realm.

"A monster!!"

The Tenth Ancestor couldn't help but exclaim, recalling the scene when Qin Feng was born.

No wonder he was a blood moon monster capable of stirring up the world, a level of monstrosity beyond ordinary imagination.

Clang!!

Clang!!

………

The sound of bells echoed throughout the Qin Family City, causing everyone's faces to change.

This was the emergency bell that hadn't sounded in the Qin Family for hundreds of years, signaling a major crisis that required all clan members to prepare for a first-level battle. A battle concerning the life and death of the Qin Family was about to begin.

"What happened!?"

The Tenth Ancestor's face turned grave, disappearing in a flash of white light.

"The survival of the family? I think this has something to do with my second brother!"

Qin Feng found an excuse to spank his second brother's butt, getting up to search for Qin Hao.

He didn't really want to do this!

His dream was to become a playboy, living a life of debauchery and luxury, but because of this little thing, he had to work hard to protect himself, and now there was even a threat of extermination.

If he didn't give him a beating, he couldn't vent his anger.

………

In the Qin Family Main Hall.

Qin Tian, as the head of the family, sat in the high seat, with leaders from various branches of the Qin Family below, numbering 13 in total, known as the Thirteen Protectors of the Qin Family.

Reports from the Qin Family's informants in the Great Xia Imperial Palace indicated that after much deliberation, the Emperor of Great Xia had decided to take action against the Qin Family.

"Damn it, if it's war, then it's war. Who's afraid of whom!!"

A burly leader couldn't suppress his excitement, his large blade itching for battle.

"Logically, we just allied with Tianxin City, and the Yinyue Dynasty is watching us closely. The Great Xia Royal Family shouldn't be so unwise."

A scholarly-looking leader voiced his concerns, worried about the war.

If they had to win through war, the result would be mutual destruction, benefiting the Yinyue Dynasty.

The best approach was to delay, giving Qin Feng and Qin Hao time to grow.

"The Great Xia Royal Family is making a bold move!"

Qin Tian said seriously, "With the Qin Family's prestige in Great Xia, once we grow, we could replace them. So, they plan to act before we grow, with a swift victory being ideal. If it turns into a prolonged war, they can hold half the territory."

"They're really going all out to be emperors!"

The 13 leaders were unusually serious, knowing this battle was unavoidable.

However, war couldn't start just because the Emperor of Great Xia said so. He needed to deal with the major families and promise them benefits, or who would fight for him?

This meant that war wouldn't start immediately, giving them enough time to prepare.

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

"Is war really coming!?"

Qin Feng could clearly sense the changes in the Qin Family, an oppressive atmosphere like a storm brewing.

Previously, every Qin Family member wore confident smiles, but now they were all serious without a hint of expression. The streets were devoid of young ladies and wives, replaced by rows of armored warriors.

"Can we win this war!?"

Qin Feng wasn't a child and could analyze the current situation.

Although the Qin Family and Tianxin City controlled half of Great Xia, the major families led by the Emperor of Great Xia weren't pushovers. Even if they managed to win, the Yinyue Dynasty was still watching closely.

The most important point was that they had a Chosen One on their side.

It's well known that a Chosen One doesn't need a strong family to start with. Even if born into a strong family, they would leave for various reasons.

Either the family perishes, or they break ties with the family... so their chances of winning this war were slim.

The question was, should he run away quickly!?

"No, no, they're all my dear friends, family, and brothers!!"

Qin Feng shook his head, starting to think about how to turn the tide.

The final solution was to summon the fully leveled Red-Haired Old Monster, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, remembering the system's task to dig out his brother's Supreme Bone. Maybe he could openly dig out his brother's Supreme Bone...
