The Hengjiang family’s cohesion was impressive. Upon receiving the patriarch’s orders, they swiftly gathered in the family’s council hall.
Hengjiang Chuan spoke solemnly, “There’s something you all should know. I suspect the Kawashima and Qiushan families have secretly allied!”
Soon, someone shared that their guard captain had been killed at the ancestral land, shocking everyone present.
“I’m not exaggerating. This has happened before at the ancestral land. Anyone daring to act there is deliberately trying to break the balance. Prepare yourselves!” Hengjiang Chuan declared.
His words commanded respect, and the gravity in their eyes showed the Hengjiang family understood the ancestral land battle would determine their fate. They were deadly serious.
Thus, the Hengjiang family entered a state of full preparation, sharpening their blades. The Kawashima family quickly noticed this movement.
Kawashima Yosuke began to worry. “Even if the final battle happens at the ancestral land, can we really defeat everyone?”
Hearing Yosuke’s doubts, Xu Fei chuckled lightly.
His goal was to wipe out all three families, leaving none alive, so he couldn’t allow any doubt to fester.
To bolster Yosuke’s confidence, Xu Fei said bluntly, “If you don’t believe me, take everyone there now. The ancestral land is already my territory!”
Xu Fei wasn’t lying. The ancestral land was now solely under Kawashima control. The other families didn’t yet realize this, thinking only a minor guard had died.
Yosuke was eager to witness Xu Fei’s true strength and immediately issued orders. “All Kawashima disciples, assemble! Follow me to the ancestral land!”
He had no suspicions, as Xu Fei had previously told him he’d secure control of the ancestral land and have Yosuke bring people to set an ambush.
Xu Fei had delivered, and now it was Yosuke’s turn to uphold his end.
Leading a massive force, Xu Fei headed to the ancestral land.
Yosuke followed closely and soon saw the battlefield Xu Fei had left behind.
“You did all this alone? Our guards didn’t even act?” Yosuke asked.
Before Xu Fei could respond, the guard captain interjected, “Patriarch, Xu Fei was incredible! It’s not that we didn’t want to help—he didn’t give us a chance!”
“Exactly, Patriarch! Xu Fei took them all out in an instant, using their own techniques against them. It was amazing!” another guard added.
Their eyes burned with admiration, clearly idolizing Xu Fei.
“Is that so, Xu Fei? I never imagined you had such strength!” Yosuke exclaimed.
