Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Escalation of the War (3)_1

In the courtyard provided by the Alchemist Guild, Mo Jingchuan looked at the message in his hand, which stated that the Divine Temple had planned to summon all of its people, and on the first day, most had already arrived at Suona Plain.

Dugu Qianye entered under the escort of guards and bowed to Mo Jingchuan and the other elders, saying, "Family Head, did you summon me for something?"

"You should know about the message, right?" Mo Jingchuan handed her the piece of paper and asked.

Dugu Qianye quickly scanned it and said, "I know."

"Do you have any thoughts?" the Great Elder asked.

Dugu Qianye handed back the paper and said, "If Lu Yuanshuang said she would call all the people of the Divine Temple, she will. But the choice of location being Suona Plain requires our careful consideration. After all, it’s in the West Continent, closer to the main temple of the Divine Temple. I’m afraid she might have an ambush prepared."

"Are you sure everyone from the Divine Temple will go?" Mo Jingchuan asked.

Dugu Qianye nodded and said, "Those who enter the Divine Temple go through a so-called baptism. The true purpose of this baptism is brainwashing, making the person unconditionally obey the words of the Divine Temple Master in their heart. After such a harsh provocation, Lu Yuanshuang must have lost her reason and is desperately trying to eradicate us. So she will definitely mobilize the largest force. The Divine Temple’s people may not rank high, but there are many of them, and to ensure final victory, she will have them all go."

"Then let’s also have everyone go," someone suggested.

Dugu Qianye shook her head and said, "No. If all of our people go, it would be bad if someone attacks our branch family. We must have people stay to guard the home."

"Doesn’t that put us at a disadvantage in terms of numbers?" someone disagreed.

Dugu Qianye chuckled and said, "It’s not the quantity of the troops that counts, but their quality! And as for manpower, it can be resolved when the time comes."

"Do you have a plan?" Mo Jingchuan, sensing Dugu Qianye’s confidence, asked.

"A plan..." Dugu Qianye smiled and said, "The plan is actually quite simple. When the time comes..."

In the following days, people from the Divine Temple and the Mo Family successively arrived at Suona Plain. However, without the appointed time being reached, they each selected a camp, waiting for the final showdown.

At the same time, the Hidden World Families also began to stir.

The Ouyang Clan.

The Ouyang Family Head looked down at the person before him, somewhat surprised that they came to find him and speak of such matters.

"Hall Master Ran, you know that the Hidden World Families do not concern themselves with other matters. Now you come asking the Ouyang Family to join your fight against the Mo Family, this may be inappropriate, no?" Ouyang Xiali said with a hesitant expression.

Ran Wanqing smiled and said, "Ouyang Family Head, we’re not asking you to exert your strength for nothing. The Divine Master has said that as long as you join forces with our Divine Temple, you will be rewarded handsomely, with elixirs and spiritual beasts being mere trifles. She can even help you take half of the Hidden World Families’ territory!"

Having said this, Ran Wanqing paused for a moment and, seeing Ouyang Xiali appear to be tempted, added, "The Dugu Clan is also taking part in this fight; they have already decided to support the Mo Family. The Dugu Clan... they’re the Ouyang Clan’s rivals, aren’t they? You’ve always wanted to take down the Dugu Clan, haven’t you? Now is a great opportunity. I’ve heard that Dugu Yunheng has already regained consciousness, Ouyang Family Head, if you miss this chance, it might become difficult for you to deal with the Dugu Clan again!"

"The Dugu Clan will join the fight too?" Ran Wanqing asked incredulously.

"Yes. Doesn’t the Ouyang Family Head know? Dugu Qianye, the one formerly known as Baili Xie, she is a descendant of Dugu Yixuan and the Mo Family of the Xuanyue Continent. The Mo Family of the Xuanyue Continent has already acknowledged their ancestors and returned to their roots, so Dugu Qianye is also considered part of the Mo Family. Moreover, it was Dugu Qianye who healed Dugu Yunheng’s wounds. Therefore, the Mo Family and the Dugu Clan are now in the same boat. The word is that the Dugu Clan has already sent people to Suona Plain."

Upon hearing that the Dugu Clan had also joined, Ouyang Xiali was already willing in his heart, but his words still expressed hesitation, "The Dugu Clan and Mo Family have a kinship, it’s true and there is a reason for everything. But if I, Ouyang, were to join..."

"Ouyang Family Head," Ran Wanqing interrupted, his mood soured by Ouyang Xiali’s attitude, "I’ve heard that you like beautiful women. If you agree to join, the Divine Temple will give you one hundred stunning beauties. How about that? The conditions we previously offered will remain the same."

At this, Ouyang Xiali still wanted to gain more, but his constant prevarication made Ran Wanqing instantly furious, and he stood up and sneered at him, "Ouyang Family Head seems to be mistaken, the Divine Temple is seeking cooperation with you, not begging you. Since you are unwilling, then I will look for other families. Take care of yourself!"

As Ran Wanqing prepared to leave, Ouyang Xiali, seeing that Ran truly intended to depart, laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, Hall Master Ran, don’t be hasty, I’m just considering my family’s interests. After all, this isn’t just about me, is it?"

"So has the Ouyang Family Head made up his mind?" Ran Wanqing said coldly. Some people are masochists – they only feel comfortable when you treat them with a cold demeanor!

"Hahahaha, I’ve made up my mind, of course, I’ve made up my mind. To have the opportunity to collaborate with members of the Divine Temple is an honor for the Ouyang Clan," Ouyang Xiali replied. "Hall Master Ran, shall we discuss the details?"

Ran Wanqing, still with a frosty expression, sat back down and said, "First, let me inform you about the current situation. Right now, the people from the Mo Family and the Dugu Clan are making their way to Suona Plain in succession... they..."

The news of the Divine Temple and Ouyang Clan forming an alliance spread quickly, causing quite a stir.

Just a day before, news had spread that the Dugu Clan joined the Mo Family’s ranks. In less than a day, word came out that the Ouyang Clan had joined the Divine Temple’s side. The involvement of two major Hidden World Families in the conflict made the entire situation very murky.

"Lu Yuanshuang is quite swift in her actions!" Upon receiving the news, Dugu Qianye and Zi Xiao were chatting in the courtyard and couldn’t help but express admiration at the speed of the other party, especially for recruiting the Ouyang Clan, the enemy of the Dugu Clan!

"Isn’t this better? To resolve them all at once?" Zi Xiao said, looking at Dugu Qianye with eyes full of reluctance, gently touching the hair by her ear, and asking, "Will you miss me if I leave?"

Dugu Qianye did not expect him to ask this and looked at him in surprise, feeling her response was a bit excessive, "Where are you going?"

"To take care of some matters," Zi Xiao replied.

"Oh," Dugu Qianye said nonchalantly, prompting Zi Xiao, who recalled receiving the same lackluster response when he mentioned leaving last time, to feel displeased. Gripping her hair a bit tighter, he asked, "Aren’t you going to ask when I’m leaving or when I’ll return?"

Feeling a twinge of pain in her scalp, Dugu Qianye tried to suppress her anger. But upon seeing his pitiful eyes, her gaze softened, and she asked, "When are you leaving, and when will you come back?"
