Chapter 1 The Wan Family Assembles

Wan Lei, keeping a wait-and-see attitude, lowered his head and listlessly fiddled with his toes. Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw it was none other than Sui Xiaohang.

"Can you not scare me all the time, Hang-ge? Do you know how much psychological trauma I suffer every time I turn around and see your ugly face?"

Wan Lei rolled his eyes and said.

"Damn it, Lei-shao, aren't you afraid of hurting my feelings by saying that? I, Sui Xiaohang, am a handsome man who is as famous as you in Nanfu City. How can you say that about me? Are you saying that you are ugly too?"

Sui Xiaohang protested loudly.

Looking at Sui Xiaohang's thick lips moving up and down, Wan Lei couldn't help but retch.

"Hang-ge, do you know what's going on this time? Why did the Wan family's big bell suddenly ring? Is something big about to happen?"

Wan Lei asked.

"You're asking me? I want to ask you. You are a direct descendant of the Wan family, and you don't even know. How would an outsider like me know?"

Sui Xiaohang said with a pout.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and many people cried out in surprise.

"Look, it's Liuchuan-ge! Liuchuan-ge is here!"

"Wan Liuchuan, the number one of the younger generation of our Wan family, he's here. Something big must be happening."

"Liuchuan-ge is so handsome! I want to marry him so badly!"

"Get real. What makes you think you're good enough? Countless girls in the entire Wan clan want to marry him. Take a look at yourself."

Hearing the exclamations of the crowd, Wan Lei and Sui Xiaohang also turned to look. They saw a young man slowly flying from the south. The young man was wearing a light blue robe, his long hair was casually tied behind his head, his face was handsome, his demeanor was elegant, and a warm smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

*Moshang ren ru yu, gongzi shi wu shuang.* (Like jade is he, the noble one, unmatched in all the world.)

This poem seemed to be tailored for the blue-clad youth.

Wan Lei had always thought that his appearance in this life was quite good, but when he saw Wan Liuchuan, he realized that there was such a stunningly handsome man.

Even from a man's perspective, one had to admit it.

"Tch, what a show-off. So what if he's stronger and better looking? Does he have to make such a grand entrance?"

Sui Xiaohang curled his lips in disdain, his tone full of sourness.

"If you had his strength and looks, you'd probably be out showing off every day,"

Wan Lei stared at Wan Liuchuan, mocking Sui Xiaohang.

Wan Liuchuan smiled warmly at the crowd. Amidst the screams of delight from the girls, he landed at the front of the crowd.

Important figures always appear last. After Wan Liuchuan arrived, everyone was almost there.

Wan Zhentian looked at the large crowd below and said in a deep voice, "I won't waste any time with pleasantries. The reason I've gathered everyone here is for one thing.

"On the southern border of Nanfu City, there is a force affiliated with our Wan family called the Feng Zhou family. This Zhou family has been affiliated with us for thousands of years. There are five Foundation Establishment experts and hundreds of Initial Force Realm cultivators in the family, and they have always relied on the protection of our Wan family.

"But this Feng Zhou family has actually repaid kindness with enmity, harboring treacherous ambitions. They have secretly colluded with the Duanmu clan, plotting to rebel and cede that territory of our Wan family's Nanfu to the Duanmu clan.

"For many years, the Duanmu, Qi, and Ba families have hated our Wan family, and they have always wanted to divide our Wan family's territory. This time, the Duanmu clan colluded with the Feng Zhou family, and their treacherous ambitions are obvious.

"If our Wan family doesn't destroy the Feng Zhou family and display our Wan family's power, won't we be looked down upon and ridiculed by the other three forces?

"The territory of our Wan family is sacred and inviolable! We must use our strength to tell everyone that our Wan family is not to be trifled with!"

Wan Zhentian's words ignited the anger and enthusiasm of the Wan clan members. The young people shouted in unison.

"Destroy the Feng Zhou family, and promote the Wan family's power!"

"Destroy the Feng Zhou family, and promote the Wan family's power!"

"Destroy the Feng Zhou family, and promote the Wan family's power!"

Wan Zhentian waved his hand and said, "This time, the elders and I, Xiaotian Elder, Hongxin Elder, Honglin Elder, and others, have discussed it.

"We have decided to entrust this task to the younger generation of the Wan family. You have all grown up now, and it is time for you to go out and gain experience, so that outsiders will know that the vitality of the younger generation of our Wan family, the hope of our Wan family's future, is no worse than theirs."

As soon as these words were spoken, the younger disciples of the Wan family howled with excitement. Most of these people were disciples of the Initial Force Realm, and there were also some illegitimate children who were older but of lower seniority, and their cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Now that the task of exterminating the rebellious family was entrusted to them, they were extremely excited, like little calves.

Wan Zhentian took out a list and read out, "Those whose names are called below, ascend into the sky and join the army.

"Wan Liuchuan, Wan Jin, Wan Mu, Wan Lei, Wan Xiayue, Wan Jilian, Wan Huo, Sui Xiaohang, Liu Fenglan…

"There are more than one hundred of you in total, leading an army of two thousand, to conquer the Feng Zhou family. Wan Liuchuan is the commander of this operation. Obey Wan Liuchuan's command in all actions, and be sure to wipe out the rebellion, leaving no one alive!"

As Wan Zhentian finished reading, the disciples below also became excited. No one had any objection to Wan Liuchuan being the commander.

Wan Liuchuan was a peak Foundation Establishment expert, and the number one of the younger generation of the Wan family. It was well-deserved for him to be the commander.

At this time, twenty ancient warships flew in from the sky, carrying the two thousand soldiers dispatched by Sui Potian.

With their eight Foundation Establishment experts and two thousand soldiers, it was more than enough to deal with a Feng Zhou family with only five Foundation Establishment experts and hundreds of Initial Force Realm cultivators.

The leading warship was filled with the Wan family disciples and the young talents of the affiliated families who were participating in this expedition.

Wan Liuchuan stood at the bow of the ship, looking into the distance. He was surrounded by flattering disciples who came to curry favor with him. Wan Liuchuan answered them one by one with a smile, and encouraged them to fight bravely and strive to perform well in the battle, so that they would be rewarded according to their merits after the war.

In contrast to the liveliness on Wan Liuchuan's side, Wan Lei's side was much more deserted. He only had Sui Xiaohang by his side.

Wan Lei fiddled with a spiritual energy cannon on his seat and said boredly, "I say, with your cultivation of the fourth level of the Initial Force Realm, what are you doing joining in on the fun? Aren't you afraid of being hacked to death in the chaos of battle?"

Sui Xiaohang waved his hand and said carelessly, "Come on, with the Feng Zhou family's strength, isn't it a piece of cake for the Wan family to take care of them? There's no danger at all. My dad just wants me to broaden my horizons and gain some military merits. I just need to kill a few of the Zhou family's ordinary people."

Wan Lei chuckled and said slowly, "Do you really think it's that easy this time? In my opinion, it would be good if half of the people who the Wan family sent out this time come back alive."
