MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1309 - 286: Rongtian Martial God Takes Action
With Ming Ze Emperor and Tian Xian reaching an agreement, Ming Ze Emperor did not hesitate to speak, "Brother Xian, I am severely injured and urgently need treatment and recovery. I wonder if the Sky Family has any healing items?"
"Of course, we do. Someone, take Ming Ze Emperor to rest and bring the best healing items from the Sky Family for His Majesty!"
As Tian Xian’s command was given, the relatively weaker Martial Emperor Clan Elder stepped forward, slightly bowing to Ming Ze Emperor, "Your Majesty, please follow me."
"Thank you!"
Ming Ze Emperor, now like a fallen phoenix, did not dare to act arrogantly anymore. If things went awry here, he wouldn’t have the capability to escape like last time, evading the encirclement of three Martial Emperors.
Seeing Ming Ze Emperor leave, the other two Martial Emperor Clan Elders frowned and stepped forward, "Now that Ming Ze Emperor is alone with scant power, why should we still assist him?"
"Indeed, helping him to reclaim Mingze Mountain would definitely result in heavy losses for our Sky Family, and among the 120,000 elite family members, who knows how many will die."
This great exodus of the Sky Family practically brought all the family elites along, while a massive number of the family’s lower ranks were commanded to follow in batches, totaling nearly 800,000 lower-ranking family members who would enter the Mingze Domain in three groups over six months. This arrangement was for concealment, given the difficulty of going unnoticed with such numbers.
Moreover, the more people there are, the more difficult it is to traverse mountains and valleys.
"To establish a foothold in a new place, sacrifices are inevitable." Tian Xian respectfully replied to the two Clan Elders.
Although he wasn’t ousted by the three Martial Emperor Clan Elders, he knew that if he was too presumptuous, his downfall wasn’t far off either.
Tian Xian had painstakingly taken over the family position from the First Branch, so he was in no way ready to step down.
Therefore, Tian Xian showed the utmost respect to these three Martial Emperor Clan Elders without a hint of the Clan Leader’s airs.
"Sacrifice is sacrifice, but helping Ming Ze Emperor reclaim his empire is the simplest and easiest way to gain recognition in the Mingze Domain." Tian Xian explained, "We cannot always hide in the mountains and forests. We need cities, trade to acquire enough living and cultivation resources, so the Sky Family must occupy a city as a development base. Thus, appearing as foreign enemies to all families in the Mingze Domain, they are likely to temporarily put aside grievances and unite to expel us, only to resume internal struggles afterward. Therefore, although the Mingze Domain seems chaotic now, we have no place meddling in the chaos. So to establish ourselves respectably in the Mingze Domain, we must learn to exploit status in a credible manner, and Ming Ze Emperor, representing legitimate Imperial Authority, is the most persuasive."
The response from Tian Xian still left the Sky Family Martial Emperor Clan Elders concerned, "Didn’t Ming Ze Emperor just say that there is internal rebellion now, openly besieging him in the Imperial City? Doesn’t this show that internal families in the Mingze Domain dare to openly challenge Imperial Authority and disregard legitimacy?"
Tian Xian did not deny the Sky Family Martial Emperor Clan Elders’ words but smiled, "No matter how we embellish ourselves, we are always outsiders, which is undeniable. Therefore, flaunting authority is just an excuse, a barely acceptable excuse for others to take in, but you must offer a way for acceptance."
After Tian Xian’s detailed explanation, the two Martial Emperor Clan Elders gradually accepted and nodded with satisfaction, realizing that their choice was correct and that the third child was indeed suitable to be Clan Leader.
"In that case, everything depends on the Clan Leader’s arrangements, and we will follow orders." Subsequently, the two Clan Elders expressed their attitude and left.
"Tian Xian respectfully sees off the two elders!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Watching the two elders leave, Tian Xian envisioned the future, feeling the opportunity to exert his revenge had finally come. The Sky Family was destined to become the brightest existence in the Mingze Domain, perhaps even becoming the new Imperial Clan!
The alliance between the Sky Family and Ming Ze Emperor was officially established. A formidable force eyeing the three major families of the Mingze Domain was subtly lurking, waiting for the moment to deliver a fatal blow to the three families.
Turning attention back to the Mingze Domain, just as Tian Xian had previously received in secret reports, the Rongtian Domain was also in chaos now, with Emperor Rongtian’s selfishness provoking resentment among the Rongtian Domain Family, stirring thoughts of rebellion.
However, when Rongtian Emperor advanced to Martial God - now known as Rongtian Martial God - he suppressed a defiant Sixth-level Martial Emperor effortlessly, causing rebellious families to delay their actions.
Damn it, whoever wields the bigger fist speaks, and Emperor Rongtian still holds the biggest punch, no doubt about it.
Nevertheless, beneath this temporary peace surface lies turbulent waves.
The newly emerged Rongtian Emperor learned from his confidant, General Han, of the outrageous Photon City Lord.
However, despite General Han painting Lu Hong as bloodthirsty, brutal, utterly heinous, and rebellious against Rongtian, Rongtian Emperor had no intention of clashing with Lu Hong, instead ordering a reprimand against the Photon City Lord, Lu Hong, placing him under house arrest, and declaring that no one in Photon City could step outside a thousand-mile radius, punishable by death if violated.
However, it was evident that Lu Hong did not take this edict seriously. After receiving the edict from the messenger, he casually tossed it aside, neither accepting nor rejecting it.
In any case, whether to accept it or not, it was for you all to decide. Staying within a thousand miles of Photon City meant accepting the edict, stepping out meant rejecting it.
However, recently Lu Hong seemed unwilling to leave Photon City.
The reason was simple; he had discovered extraordinary qualities in Qin Hong.
For now, there was no time for other matters; he focused solely on cultivating Qin Hong.
As for Rongtian Martial God, he did two things: firstly, he advanced westwards. Lu Hong killed Tianlang Emperor, making a significant fame wave within the Rongtian Domain, which Rongtian Martial God could not tolerate. His pride told him that resolving Lu Hong was feasible, but he must first overshadow the other’s limelight; he could not rashly kill a great hero and contributor of the Rongtian Domain.
So, Rongtian Martial God chose to advance westward into the Tianlang Domain. Having no Tianlang Emperor there made Rongtian Martial God decide to fully incorporate Tianlang Domain into Rongtian Domain, ending thousands of years’ struggle between the two domains, expanding territories of Rongtian Domain, and establishing remarkable achievements.
While executing the first matter, Rongtian Martial God secretly proceeded with the second task, dispatching a Martial Emperor to assassinate Lu Hong.
He wanted to test Lu Hong’s true strength, willing to use a Martial Emperor as bait.
During his first encounter with Lu Hong, he had felt intense caution about Lu Hong’s strength. Nevertheless, upholding a demeanor of broad-mindedness, Rongtian Martial God did not act against Lu Hong but instead handed Photon City to him, thus gaining a Martial King under his banner.
Yet now, upon reflection, it was indeed a mistake. Obtaining heavenly fortunes amid the anomalies, it was likely that Lu Hong didn’t fare any worse.
Thus, Rongtian Martial God became wary of Lu Hong, with a sixty percent certainty that Lu Hong, like himself, had also become a Martial God.
Being recently elevated to Martial God and not yet mastering his realm, he wasn’t confident engaging abruptly in battle with Lu Hong. After weighing options, Rongtian Martial God chose to reassert his supreme prestige within the Rongtian Domain before targeting Photon City to eradicate this threat!
By the third month of Rongtian Martial God’s entry into Tianlang Domain, the Tianlang Domain officially announced its incorporation into Rongtian Domain, erasing the Tianlang Domain name and becoming the new Western Battle Zone of Rongtian Domain.
The Eight Emperor struggle within Tianlang Domain concluded, leaving only the Third Prince alive. Rongtian Martial God eliminated five of the eight major Tianlang families, crushing the fierce and savage people of Tianlang Domain with absolute power and an iron fist. The fear of death caused Tianlang Domain to bow and kneel beneath Rongtian Martial God’s feet.
As this news spread throughout Rongtian Domain, every informed citizen erupted in cheers, shouting "Long live the Martial God."
As for the various families within Rongtian Domain, their eyes lit up. With the expansion into a new vast territory, didn’t that mean new resources?
In an instant, Tianlang Domain turned into a gold mine field that numerous small and medium families in Rongtian Domain scrambled to occupy.
