Elder Yue Hai finally appeared, stepping out from the Yue Clan Castle with great steps.
On the other hand, at the bottom of the mountain, the other Level 7 [Overlord] from the Xie Clan, Xie Nu, who was equally as strong and famous as Xie Tu, also made his way up the mountain step by step… The two sides forces quickly gathered in the middle of the mountain. A great battle was about to commence.
“I don’t care what kind of intention you have. Those who have invaded my castle, I order you to lay down your arms and surrender, otherwise we will fight without further ado.” Yue Yang would not waste his time on compassionate or negotiation talk with his enemy. He only had a rule: Death for all who did not surrender. The highly reputable Yue Clan Castle had been blatantly attacked by an enemy, if they did not kill their enemies now, anyone could bully them in the future. Yue Yang didn’t have a sense of belonging to the Yue Clan Castle as if it was his own ‘home’, but this was still the pitiful guy’s ancestor’s home. Since he had replaced the pitiful guy and become the Yue Clan Third Young Master, how could he face others if he couldn’t even protect the Yue Clan Castle?
“…” Xie Tu was furious. Isn’t this brat too brazen? Right now, the Xie Clan had the upper hand be it in numbers or combat power. He didn’t even offered to negotiate, but demanded them to disarm and surrender immediately! How was that possible?
Xie Nu, who had an extremely short temper, almost went berserk when he heard Yue Yang’s words.
(Shiro: Xie means blood, it’s their clan name. Nu means anger. I have no idea why someone would name their child anger; or slaughter, in Xie Tu’s case. It’s kinda like, Son: Dad~ Dad: Yes, Slaughter?)
Xie Tu, who was more meticulous to detail, signalled to the others to wait for a moment secretly and examine the situation first.
The Yue Clan had thousand years of history and a strong foundation. Even if the Xie Clan had a powerful support behind them and was attacking them with almost a hundred elite warriors, the Yue Clan wouldn’t be defeated so easily. Attacking them on impulse would only spoil their plan. Furthermore, the relationship between the Four Great Clans were very close. If one was attacked without any justification, the other Three Great Clans who were all intimately related with each other would definitely lend a helping hand.
If the Xie Clan wanted to defeat this colossal enemy, the Yue Clan, not only would they need enough manpower, they would also need a strong justification.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to get pass the Da Xia Emperor, Jun Wu You.
Even an idiot knew how close Jun Wu You was with Marshall Yue Hai, whom he called Brother Hai. Jun Wu You had always seen Yue Hai as his brother, so he would definitely not stand by and watch in silence.
“Greetings to Yue Clan Master, Marshall Yue Hai. Today, the reason for Xie Tu coming here is only to ask the Yue Clan to hand over some people. Marshall Yue, please hand over Second Young Mistress Yue Yu and her bastard lover who killed our clan member, Xie Qian Qiu. Before, the Yue and Xie family were related by an engagement and everyone was happy. However, the Yue Clan Second Young Mistress did not know shame and have engaged in illicit relationship with another lover before marriage. There was definitely a conspiracy to kill my nephew and her fiance, Xie Qian Qiu… Right now, we had come here to ask the highly principled Marshall Yue to hand over Yue Yu and her bastard lover to be punished by the Xie Clan and upholding our laws.” Xie Tu gave his respects towards Elder Yue Hai who was striding forward. This was his way showing proprietary and laying his excuse.
