Xuanjing City City Lord’s Mansion.
Somewhere in the main hall.
The two parties sat opposite each other.
One party's expression was obviously more relaxed and comfortable, and they looked at the other party condescendingly, and everyone was full of unruly atmosphere.
Opposite them, sat a row of men and women with slightly gloomy faces.
And sitting at the top of the center was an old man with gray hair and calm eyes, watching quietly as if it had nothing to do with him.
Zhao Lingxia, with a gloomy face, said in a cold voice: "You Wang family, don't go too far. If you dare to attack, I, the Zhao family, will attack with all my strength!"
Hearing this, the calm-looking people across from him all laughed and didn't feel relieved at all.
An old man in the middle said with a sneer: "Zhao Lingxia, our Wang family is already very concerned about your face by showing such sincerity."
"It's okay if you don't agree to this competition, then I, the Wang family, will ride on Xuanjing City and destroy the ten Xuanjing veins even if I can't get them."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Lingxia looked extremely gloomy.
Beside him, there was an extraordinary young man with a similarly gloomy face and a fiery fighting spirit bursting out of his pupils.
Seeing their silence, the old man of the Wang family smiled arrogantly: "Zhao Lingxia, I will give you three days to ask Zhao Lingsu. If you don't agree, I, the Wang family, will set foot in Xuanjing City, and then you will have no chance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man stood up and left directly with a sarcastic smile on his face. The other Wang clan members also stood up and left with arrogant expressions.
Everyone in the Wang family disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Only the furious Zhao clan members were left where they were.
"Damn it! These bastards! It seems they can't stand it any longer!" A young man said angrily.
Zhao Lingxia's eyebrows were gloomy, and she was also thinking.
After Zhao Xuanming calmed down, he looked at Zhao Lingxia and asked, "What should I do?"
Zhao Lingxia glanced at him and was silent for a while.
An old man next to him answered: "They are basically preparing to humiliate my Zhao family. They want to use this to destroy my Zhao family's prestige. They cannot agree easily!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xuanming said: "We may not lose, and we still have a chance to get back the Thousand Miles Territory."
"What if we lose? Will the three Xuanjing veins be handed over to others?" someone retorted.
Zhao Xuanming looked calm: "If we don't fight, the Wang family will still take action. By then, we may not be able to save even one."
"If you give it a try, you still have a chance to turn around!"
"Once accepted, let alone the three battles in the Xiantian Realm, that is, the battle in the Guizhen Realm, who will be Wang Pingce's opponent?"
"It means there is almost no possibility of victory in the battle to return to the True Realm!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked solemn. There were too many evil geniuses in Wang's generation.
One Wang Pingce has already achieved the invincibility of returning to his true state!
No defeat so far!
"Besides, in the Xiantian realm, who can guarantee victory?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xuanming was silent for a moment, but quickly said: "I advocate accepting the challenge, so that the losses can be minimized!"
Everyone was arguing with each other.
One side is the militant faction, and the other side is the conservative faction.
The main militant faction happens to be from Zhao Xuanming's group, while the conservative faction is from Zhao Lingxia's group.
Although they are all direct descendants, they are somewhat independent and have different opinions.
"Okay! Stop arguing about this matter. I will send a letter to my family immediately to see what their opinions are. There will always be a way to deal with it." Zhao Lingxia stretched out her hand to stop everyone's argument.
Only then did everyone stop.
Zhao Lingxia looked at the city lord who was resting with his eyes closed.
"Lord Zhuge, what do you mean?"
At this time, Zhuge Lanting slowly opened his eyes, but his cloudy eyes revealed the light of wisdom.
He smiled and said: "Xuanjing City and the Zhao family will both prosper and suffer. I will unconditionally support the Zhao family's decision."
"If we didn't rely on the blessings of our ancestors, how could our Zhuge family have grown to this point?"
"Once Xuanjing City is occupied by the Wang family, then my Zhuge family will definitely be eliminated."
"So my Zhuge family's heart has always been with the Zhao family."
Hearing these words of 'loyalty', Zhao Lingxia nodded slightly.
But he still asked: "Then what does Lord Zhuge think of this matter? Should he accept the challenge or not?"
Hearing this, Zhuge Lanting frowned, seeming to be thinking.
After a while, he sighed and said: "In the current situation, if we don't fight, Wang will directly attack Xuanjing City, and Xuanjing City will most likely be lost."
"So I think we might as well agree to this fight. There is at least half a chance of repelling the Wang family in the fight."
"This will at least slow down Wang's attack."
"Besides the reputation, it can also boost the momentum of the Zhao clan, and the Wang clan will also restrain themselves a little. This can delay time."
Hearing these words, Zhao Lingxia was noncommittal.
Zhuge Lanting added: "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. This matter still needs to be decided by the Zhao family. The Zhuge family fully supports it."
After that, Zhao Lingxia said nothing more, and the crowd dispersed one after another...
Zhao Lingxia stood in a loft somewhere, leaning on the railing and looking out, filled with worries.
A slim woman walked behind him. She was dressed in a sassy and elegant outfit. She had uneven skin and a skin as smooth as gelatin, but she also had a sad look on her face.
This woman's name is Zhao Xuanyi, and she is Zhao Lingxia's daughter.
She didn't even have a chance to attend the negotiation meeting with Wang just now, but she knew the whole story.
She said worriedly: "Father, has your aunt replied to your letter?"
Zhao Lingxia shook her head and said, "Not yet."
"What does father mean?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
Zhao Lingxia sighed: "This is all Wang's attempt to humiliate me, Zhao."
"King Pingce of Guizhen Realm is almost invincible in his own realm. How can I, the Zhao family, find a junior who can compete with him?"
"Once challenged, the three battles in the Guizhen Realm are almost certain to be defeated."
"And in the Xiantian realm, the chance of victory is extremely slim."
"My Zhao family is weak after all, alas."
Zhao Lingxia sighed, feeling helpless.
Zhao Xuanyi felt pain in her heart.
He complained: "If those people in the family were stubborn, how could Grandma and Grandma leave? As long as Grandma and Grandma were still there, how could the Wang family dare to invade?"
Zhao Lingxia smiled bitterly: "These things happened several generations ago and are not something you and I can discuss."
"My aunt is suffering from the pressure alone, and no one can help her."
Zhao Lingxia consoled her: "This is what you have to endure as a first-level force. Since your aunt has embarked on this path, there is no way out."
"That's right! Father, why don't we invite foreign aid!" Zhao Xuanyi said suddenly.
Zhao Lingxia shook his head: "It is difficult for all major first-level forces to produce a guy like Wang Pingce. How difficult is it for other small forces? And we don't have much time left."
"Don't think so much. The family will make decisions on these matters. Practice well and strive to enter the ancestral land as soon as possible and achieve innate status!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded.
...
After entering Xuanjing City, Bai Ning and the two found an inn and stayed there for the time being.
Let’s find out more about the situation first.
However, there are a lot of rumors in Xuanjing City now.
Everyone is talking about how soon the Wang family will send a large army to completely capture Xuanjing City.
It makes people panic. Once the master changes, these 'small fish and shrimps' will definitely go through a big reshuffle.
In a restaurant.
"How do you plan to contact Zhao?"
"If we rashly come forward to help the Zhao family, we will probably be arrested by the Zhao family as spies of the Wang family," Mu Qianying said.
Bai Ning's pupils bloomed with a faint light, but he didn't say anything more.
"Don't be impatient, wait and see what happens, understand the situation clearly first, and see what the situation is now."
After a little repair, the two left the restaurant.
Start investigating the situation in Xuanjing City.
After a while, the result was not optimistic.
Now almost all parties are not optimistic about the Zhao family, thinking that the Zhao family will definitely not be able to withstand the Wang family's attack.
Xuanjing City will eventually become the spoils of the Wang family.
The Zhao family is in danger, and everyone is talking about these things.
And at this time, there are obviously some people from the Wang family in Xuanjing City.
They are spreading these words as a way to bring down Zhao's rule.
When passing by a stage performance.
Those who have good intentions will directly go to the stage and shout.
"The Zhao family is about to collapse. We should prepare early and surrender to the Wang family early. Maybe we can have a good future."
As soon as this statement came out, countless people nodded secretly.
Then the man continued: "The Wang family has sent people here today to issue a challenge. The Wang family is betting on the Zhao family's three Xuanjing mines with the territory thousands of miles outside Xuanjing City as a bet."
"It's a pity that Mrs. Zhao is so timid about this matter and doesn't dare to take the challenge. Do you think it's ridiculous?"
"I think the Zhao family is about to die!"
As soon as these remarks came out, the situation exploded!
Many people shook their heads, it was really going to be over.
"You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!"
