Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 366: 366

Hearing this, the people from Wang Xiaoyun’s entourage were depressed . They had no idea as to how they could possibly convince Lan to make such a tunnel for them .

Many of them simply gave up on the idea of leaving Chang’an, while a few began playing with the thought of joining Xue Wei when he left the Ascended’s Realm . If they could go with him, would their dreams not become a reality then?

However, no one said anything . They knew that Chang’an mattered a lot to Wang Xiaoyun, and if they considered leaving the continent before the war had been won, they would be seen as traitors .

Even if they did not care too much about this label, they did not wish to be considered traitors right now, as it could cause them to be kicked out of the group .

All alone in the ascended’s realm . That was suicide!

Wang Xiaoyun looked at the people in her group with narrowed eyes . She understood their urge to leave the Chang’an continent, but she was not willing to do so before the war was over .

"What are the plans for now?" She asked Xue Wei . Although both of them had been leading a group each, it was evident that Xue Wei took over the leadership role as he was more familiar with this realm . Not to mention, he was the strongest of the two .

The fact that he was the leader of the group had stunned many of the people in Wang Xiaoyuns group . Xue Wei was not the strongest, so on what basis did he lead them?

"We have some flies coming after us," Xue Wei said . "They dared not attack us before, but now they have teamed up with their friends they will come for us . We plan to put up an ambush and let them taste what happens when someone covets our things . "

"Why should we fight your opponents?" One of the younger Elders on Wang Xiaoyun’s side asked .

He was one of the people who admired Wang Xiaoyun, and thus, he was very displeased with Xue Wei .

"Well, if you don’t help, then leave now," Xue Wei said casually as he shrugged his shoulders .

"Only those who participate in the battle will have a chance to get some spoils of war," he continued . "They are from the Eight Great Families, so their background is rather substantial," Xue Wei tempted them, "they ought to have a lot of interesting treasures on them . "

"If they have influential backgrounds, why would we fight them?" The other of the young Elders could not help but ask . "If they knew were the ones who had killed their members, our lives would be forfeited . "

"Don’t worry," Xue Wei grinned, "They are from another continent, not only that, they have no way of observing what happens within the Ascended’s Realm . No one knows what is going on, and as long as we stay silent, no one will ever know . "

There was some logic to what Xue Wei was saying, his words causing the hesitant ones to become more interested . Everyone lusted after treasures, and they were no different .

Although they had gotten quite a few rare items while being in the Ascended’s Realm, that was mainly spirit fruits and herbs . They had not gotten weapons, talismans, or the like .

These things were rare to find within this realm, not to mention that those that existed had likely been found in the prior times the realm had been open . If they wanted such treasures, they would have to rob it from other members .

Reaching this conclusion, these people were no longer so much against battling these enemies of Xue Wei . Some had devious minds and wanted to push all the blame onto Xue Wei, while others wanted to just get more items for themselves .

Xue Wei did not care about what the different people thought . All that mattered to him was Wang Xiaoyun staying by his side .

He understood that it would merely be for a short while during the time in the Ascended’s Realm, but this was a little bit of heaven that he could not let go of . At the same time, he was worried about her traveling this dangerous realm on her own .

After concluding that they would all stay together and fight off the experts that were coming their way, Xue Wei began looking for the best place for them to battle it out .

"The opponents are two families from the eight great families," Xue Wei began explaining the situation in detail .

"They will be around thirty to forty members, and their strength will range from heavenly knights to ordinary saints . There shouldn’t be any earth saints .

"Our best chance is to fight them through an ambush . Kill off as many as we can in one go, and then move on to a straight-up free for all .

"The group is capable of following my directions as they have spread some herbal scent onto me that they can trace .

"They think that our group only consists of five members, but now we are fifteen, our chances are much better .

"The better you perform, the more resources you’ll get . We are looking at so many highly skilled people, so their treasure should be able to help you through a long time of cultivation . "

Having said this, Xue Wei could not help but smile . The hunted was turning into the hunters .

Xue Wei did not feel any pity for the eight great families . As Bai Tinayi’s comrade, he was bound to become enemies with them .

Since this was the case, why not collect some interest? He had encountered two groups so far . One was the Ouyang family, and the other was the Dongfang family .

Although they had been sensible, they were not able to escape from being Bai Tianyi’s enemies, hence, also people that Xue Wei would be against .

Not long passed before they found a small forest . This forest was not too big, but it served their purpose perfectly .

There was a clearing at the east side of it, and Xue Wei, alongside his comrades, waited within the clearing while the others positioned themselves in the woods .

They knew that if they hid in the woods, they would be able to attack when this group of enemies arrived .

A few days went by like this . Xue Wei and the others cultivated quietly with the resources they had gathered earlier, and he even shared a few of his older resources with Wang Xiaoyun and her team .

Most of the ones he shared came from the Thunder Twilight Zone, but to them, it was priceless treasures they could not come across elsewhere .

Everyone’s strength was steadily climbing, and many of those who had held hostility towards Xue Wei let their guards down as he was much friendlier than they expected, and he even shared his resources with them .

After a week had passed, someone finally entered the forest .

"We are close," said the Dongfang family’s leader . His heart filled with excitement, but he was also slightly agitated . Something felt wrong .

The Ouyang family leader was much calmer . He knew that the group they were hunting had a lot of treasures, but he had, after all, not seen them loot room after room of treasures .

Finally, the clearing came into view, and all of them stopped in their tracks . The shock was evident on the Ouyang family’s faces .

"It’s them?" It was unknown who asked first, but when the question was asked, the others were stunned .

Ouyang and Dongfang had both encountered them before . It was rather rare to think that they would be facing off against each other again .

"You know them?" The Dongfang family lead was worried that they would not go through with the battle when he saw his the Ouyang family nodded their heads, complicated expressions on their faces .

"Let’s go!" They could not afford to let them run away, so the Ouyang family leader knitted his brows and gave the order .

It was not before then that Dongfang’s family was feeling relieved . They were still willing to fight!

Xue Wei was waiting impatiently in the clearing . Why were they so slow?

His blood was boiling; he could not wait to battle . He wanted to fight, wanted to test his new skills and his new elemental skills he had learned when he became a Vermilion Bird .

As an Azure Dragon, he had an affinity with the element of Wood .

The vermilion Bird was connected to fire .

He had learned the new heritory skills, and he was eager to try them .

At the same time, he also wanted to test how difficult it was to switch shape during battle .

He wanted to be able to switch between a dragon and a bird . Only then would his potential be fully shown off .

Finally, the group arrived . They got in position and rushed into the clearing, ready to attack .

However, just as they arrived, they felt that something was wrong .

Before they had the time to attack Xue Wei and the others, attacks were raining down on them from behind .

in only a moment, three had already died as they were taken completely unaware .

a handful was also injured, and suddenly, ten people appeared from within the woods, and when the Dongfang and Ouyang families realized what was going on, they had been caught in a pincer attack .

Xue Wei and the others were already fighting back; a resounding dragon roar exploded in the clearing as Xue Wei was taking on the body of a massive azure dragon .

the sudden change in shape shocked all of them to the core .

The people from Chang’an were horrified . They often had something to do with primordial beasts, but this man seemed much more dangerous than even the highest-ranked primordial beasts .

The Dongfang and Ouyang families were much more enlightened, and one of them cried out in shock, "a sovereign beast!"

Some of them were gloomy . A sovereign beast of that strength was not something they could defeat just because they had superior numbers .

Everyone knew that sovereign beasts were the true kings of beasts . They held so much strength and potential that they were known as the favorite of heavens .

If they had known that their target was a sovereign beast, they would never have participated in this battle!

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret; all they could do was grind their teeth and use their strongest abilities .

"Kill all the others first; we’ll take the beast at the end!" Someone called out, but then they looked at the others and felt a headache .

Hei Gou was far too strong . He was an Earth Saint!

Bai Tianyi was not an easy target; the Ouyang family held a deep-rooted fear of him since they knew his real identity .

Luoluo was a small child; killing her was not glorious .

Lin Xiao was a target, but he was also strong .

Then the only targets that were left were the ones from Chang’an, and the two groups from the eight great families turned towards them . However, they were being slaughtered so fast that they now had no chance of fighting back .

The Ouyang and Dongfang family leaders were filled with despair as they saw Xue Wei slither around the battlefield, killing one member after another as simply as killing chickens .

Xue Wei was flashing a grim smile before he headed to the Ouyang family leader . Hei Gou was quickly killing the Dongfang family leader .

"With you guys around, we will be undefeated!" one of the members within the Chang’an group exclaimed, but Xue Wei shook his head . "No," he said honestly, "There are many groups with more strength than our group, so we need to be careful . "

Just as the battle ended, Xue Wei began gathering all the spoils of war before he tossed storage treasures to different people, handing them over according to their performance .
