REINCARNATION OF THE STRONGEST WAR HERO-Chapter 319: The Beginning Of Chaos

Far beyond the heavy clouds that smothered the Chong estate, the group of the strongest fighters from all five spirit families was approaching the invisible boundary that had divided the spirit mountain for ages. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

For generations, neither side had crossed it. Neither alone nor in a group. But now....

Four had already crossed it. And they didn’t just cross it. They had forced the other side to do the same.

At the very front stood Hueng Long. His long robes fluttered in the night wind, eyes sharp, unwavering. Beside him were the patriarchs and peak experts of the other four Spirit Families — the Rui, Zhong, Lian, and Dao. All of them were martial sovereigns.

Behind them...

Six more martial sovereigns. Each family had brought two. Only the Long Family had three.

Behind the Sovereigns stood rows of Martial Emperors. Then Martial Saints. The lineup stretched like a living wall of power.

Though heavy pressure and tension lingered in the air as they advanced, murmurs still rippled within.

"So we are finally going all out against them..." a Rui family elder muttered, his grip tightening around his spear.

"True," another replied quietly. "We even brought all the Martial Sovereigns this time."

A faint smirk appeared on a female fighter from the Long Family as she marched forward. "No way they will stand a chance against us today."

Confidence radiated from many of them.

For centuries, the Three Evil Spirit Families had hidden in the shadows.

Today, the Five Spirit Families have chosen to crush those shadows completely.

But...

The deeper they advanced into enemy territory....

The stranger it felt.

Too quiet. No guards. No scouts. No defensive formations triggering alarms.

Just... silence.

An oppressive, unnatural silence.

Lines in Hueng Long’s forehead slowly deepened. Something felt wrong.

They soon reached the outer territory of the Chong estate — the first of the three Evil Spirit Families’ domains.

In the distance, the massive Chong villa loomed under the dark sky like a sleeping beast.

Yet...

It did not fall asleep.

It felt... awake. Watching.

The closer they stepped....

The heavier the air became.

A subtle pressure began pressing down on their shoulders.

At first, it was faint. Then it grew. And grew.

Until even Martial Emperors felt their breathing slow.

Suddenly, Hueng halted mid-step — so did the other four family heads and all the cultivators behind them.

Hueng’s eyes widened slightly. "What is this?"

One... two... three...

...

Hueng’s breath hitched. "Ten.... They have more than ten martial sovereigns." He whispered.

But that didn’t go unnoticed by the other family heads.

"More than ten?" They all asked at the same time, shocked, bewildered and also.....

Shaken....

By fear.

Silence fell completely.

’Damn it.’ Wei Zhong cursed in his mind.

"More than ten? How is that possible? They were always weaker than us. So how come they managed to gather more than ten martial sovereigns just with three families?" Shen Lian asked.

"This is looking bad, Hueng. What should we do?" Feng Dao asked. "If they have even just one Martial sovereign more than us, the battle won’t be easy. Should we retreat and think of a plan first?"

Hueng did not immediately answer Feng Dao. His gaze remained fixed on the distant Chong estate, where the pressure rolled toward them like an invisible tsunami.

’What should we do?’

Eleven Martial Sovereigns. That was the number he had relied on. That was the confidence he had carried when crossing the midline. He had thought that alone would be enough to pressure the Three Evil Spirit Families into handing Logan back safely.

But now...

The situation had flipped.

’If they have equal numbers, we might still stand a chance. But if they have even just one more...’ His jaw tightened.

The gap between a Martial Sovereign and a Martial Emperor was not something that could be explained with words.

It was the difference between heaven and earth.

One Sovereign could slaughter dozens of Emperors without breaking a sweat.

Just one extra Sovereign could tilt the battlefield entirely.

And from the pressure he felt... He knew the evil spirit families didn’t lack in numbers.

Hueng inhaled slowly. ’If we fight... some of us will die. But it’s not like we can abandon the young master. Should I attack now while the morale is still intact? Or retreat and plan properly?’ His thoughts churned violently.

Meanwhile, inside the Chong Family’s main hall, the atmosphere was heated.

"Min Chong, you are despicable!" Yuhe Feng roared, veins bulging across his forehead. "How dare you treat us like underlings?"

Min Chong chuckled lightly, as though he were discussing tea. "Yuhe, I already told you. You are not underlings. You are simply... helping me."

His eyes gleamed coldly. "If you want to ascend to the Upper Heaven, you have no option but to cooperate. My family may not be stronger than your combined forces, but we won’t lose either."

He leaned back slightly. "And Logan, that boy with the ability to inherit the Golden Dragon’s legacy, is in my hands."

The hall trembled faintly as Yuhe’s aura surged. "You....."

But before he could finish...

His eyes snapped toward the estate entrance. So did Tian Shin’s. So did many other veterans.

"They are already here," Min Chong whispered.

Silence fell instantly.

Tian Shin rose calmly from his seat. "We must first deal with the Spirit Families, Yuhe. After that... we can discuss Min Chong."

Yuhe’s eyes were bloodshot with rage, but he could feel it too. The gathering outside was not a probing force.

It was everything.

All the strongest members of the Five Spirit Families had come.

If the three Evil Spirit Families did not unite now...

They would be crushed.

"Alright." The word came through gritted teeth.

Min Chong stood. "Let’s go. The reason we gathered has finally arrived."

From the moment he decided to abduct Logan, he had known this moment would come. And he was ready.

He walked toward the exit. Tian Shin followed. Yuhe Feng followed.

Behind them....

All the strongest experts of the Three Evil Spirit Families rose in unison.
