Chapter 175: Chapter 33: Tilt

Despite Hong Weiqing’s remarks, several elders of the Pei family were greatly shocked.

They prided themselves on keeping the matter of the second-tier pills extremely confidential. Yet unexpectedly, their intelligence system was full of holes, leaking like a sieve.

"West River Alliance, Yang Diancang." Pei Zeqi’s heart had already sunk to the bottom. His focus was on the opponent’s strength: "At the peak of the ninth rank level with me and Hong Weiqing?"

"Miscalculated."

He sighed inwardly, but thinking of Hou Sixian’s strength, he gained some confidence again.

Raising his head again, he saw the overbearing members of the Hong family.

"Hmph!" Pei Zeqi, full of vigor, emanated a majestic aura.

Although he had been the Family Head for more than ten years, his strength had long been at its peak. Even without the matter of second-tier Pill Masters, the Hong family wouldn’t find it as easy as they claimed to take him down.

After all, he was the head of two major families, and this pride had long been rooted in his heart.

"If a fight is what you want, my Pei family will accompany you to the end!"

Pei Zeqi swept away the gloom, resolutely said, "It’s been a long time since a killing was ordered, and now they think my Pei family is a toothless tiger."

"Family Head, you’re right. How can the dignity of my Pei family be trampled so easily? Whoever dares to offend will be exterminated." The fiery-tempered fifth elder of the Pei family responded loudly, his expression invigorated.

"We swear to follow the Family Head to the death! The Hong family and the West River Alliance work together in collusion, acting fierce, but we are not afraid to fight!" The loyal Guest Elders of the Pei family echoed loudly.

Several faces resolute, even though their cultivation was in the mid-Condensation realm, facing a group of late-Condensation experts, they showed little fear.

"In this situation, it seems the Pei family won’t be able to hold out." However, other Guest Elders of the Pei family, observing from the periphery, muttered to themselves, thinking about how to find a good way out later.

They served the Pei family as well as the Hong family anyway. Whoever wins, they’ll follow; just a change of surname, it’s all the same. They don’t even have to risk losing their lives.

"The West River Alliance joining forces with the Hong family is enough to suppress the Pei family. This place is now untenable. If a fight breaks out, I’ll kill some direct descendants of the Pei family, hand them over to the Hong family, and seize the initiative to gain their favor." Some even ignored the years of sustenance by the Pei family, planning betrayal and seeking to curry favor with the Hong family.

Adversity is a mirror that reveals a person’s true nature.

Pei Zeqi naturally understood that Hong Weiqing’s series of actions were meant to unsettle people’s hearts and continually erode the confidence of the Hong family’s people.

To destroy the Pei family, deeply rooted in Yanghua, it would mean striking down him as the family’s pivot, dismantling the Pei family’s structure, making it inevitable for the Pei’s to face the ensuing catastrophe.

"Shijing." Pei Zeqi’s face showed a trace of determination, while he transmitted his voice to Pei Shijing: "There are two tasks that need you to handle."

"Uncle, please instruct." Pei Shijing stared intently at those opposite, wanting to imprint all their faces in his mind.

Someday, if given the chance, he vowed to repay these people’s blood debts with blood.

"Right now, the Hong family is formidable. On the surface, our strength is no match against them. Moreover, there’s also Yang Diancang from the West River Alliance suddenly attacking, intending to kill Master Ding." Pei Zeqi spoke extremely fast, indicating that he had already considered the worst-case scenario for the current situation.

"With so many in the late-Condensation realm fighting here, it will take time before a victor emerges. During the ensuing chaos, retreat immediately to the academy. Seek Hall Master Bai Hongqian and Duty Hall Master Luo Liyu for assistance."

"Ask the two to first help Elder Sixian repel Yang Diancang of the West River Alliance, then come to the Moon Pavilion to assist in driving back the Hong family."

At this moment, Pei Zeqi revealed all his cards, explaining his secret contacts with Bai Hongqian, Luo Liyu in full.

At this point, Pei Zeqi’s voice turned extremely low: "If you hear any more bad news on the road, immediately seek refuge with the ancestor at the academy, follow the evacuation plan set by the family to preserve our people."

Pei Zeqi, with a few words, had already arranged all the aftermath.

The future Family Head of the Pei family, Pei Shijing, had enough intelligence and strategy to lead the clan to start anew.

As long as the ancestor remains, there is hope for the Pei family.

After arranging the aftermath, Pei Zeqi’s heart was completely at peace. With no worries, he could now let go entirely, try his best to hold off the opponent, and delay until reinforcements arrived.

If there were any other changes, he would fight to the death, doing his utmost to kill members of the Hong family, striving for a chance for the Pei family to rise again.

The exchange of vital energy was extremely fast. In just a breath, Pei Zeqi had finished his instructions.

"Pei Zeqi."

Hong Weiqing smiled and took two steps forward: "After saying so much, ultimately our two families still have to fight."

"However, to make you die with clarity and understanding, let me give you one last gift."

Just as Hong Weiqing spoke, two figures suddenly flew in from the treetops in the distance.

Whoosh!

The two simultaneously burst with energy, like hawks in a painting, instantly landing on the pavilion balcony. The two had distinctly different builds.

One was chubby, with a face full of smiles and not a single wrinkle, the image of a prosperous middle-aged man. The other was tall and thin, unsmiling, resembling a charcoal-black horse-faced man.

"Foreign Affairs Hall Master Bai Hongqian, Duty Hall Master Luo Liyu! They learned of the Pei family’s plight and came here to rescue in advance?" But upon seeing the two enter, Pei Zeqi thought for a moment, then his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Something’s wrong!" A surge of unspeakable anger arose in Pei Zeqi’s heart: "Hong Weiqing knew the two would come. So the Palace Master..."

"Feng Bomu betrayed us! Sold out my Pei family!" A rage of betrayal surged from within Pei Zeqi, a heat seemed to arise in his lungs with each breath.

But in Pei Zeqi’s gaze, full of shock and anger, the two slowly walked behind Hong Weiqing.

Everyone present knew the two very well. Because they usually did not intervene in the affairs of the two families, yet unexpectedly they appeared today.

Judging by their attitude, they had chosen to side with the Hong family.

Originally, the Pei family had already lost two late-Condensation members, Pei Yexun and Pei Zeqin, leaving their apparent strength already far weaker than the opponent’s.

But with Bai Hongqian and Luo Liyu, two more late-Condensation experts on the Hong family’s side, the slight balance was completely shattered, leaving Hong family with a decisive victory.

"Family Head Pei, a wise man submits to circumstances. The Pei family is now at its nadir, why not surrender, allowing the Hong family to show leniency and spare your younger generation." Bai Hongqian looked regretfully at Pei Zeqi, who was still frozen in place, and advised.

"Hahaha."

Pei Zeqi laughed wildly: "Feng Bomu sent you two as the last straw to crush my Pei family!"

"Do you think you two can completely shatter my Pei family’s confidence?"

"Mere house-dogs dare to speak boldly before me?" Pei Zeqi’s Qi-Blood suddenly erupted.

Boom!

Like a tornado, a violent wind suddenly lifted the roof!

"The Family Head’s words are so true!"

At this moment, a calm voice suddenly appeared behind the screen.
