1932 Accumulating Power
Quite a few people glanced at each other awkwardly.
Someone asked tentatively, “Do you mean… Peach Blossom Dock?”
Yi Wentao nodded. “Yes.”
“Peach Blossom Dock has abundant natural energy. Although there have been people entering and leaving continuously over the years because of the spatial fluctuations and the instability of the barrier, the resources contained in it have actually not been really consumed. Moreover, its location is special. It’s indeed an extremely suitable choice.”
Yi Wentao’s words were straightforward. His tone didn’t hide his determination to obtain Peach Blossom Dock.
Someone hesitantly said, “But… Peach Blossom Dock is Shangguan Yue’s territory now. If we go rashly, I’m afraid…”
Yi Wentao smiled. “She’s the princess consort of Rong Xiu, the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace. Why is she occupying Peach Blossom Dock like this?”
Many people nodded to themselves. What he said makes sense… Besides, the two of them have just gotten married. It’s inevitable that people would think too much about Chu Liuyue’s actions.
However, we can’t rule out the possibility that this is Rong Xiu’s intention. Doesn’t he have any interest in Peach Blossom Dock? Everyone is now saying that Peach Blossom Dock belongs to Chu Liuyue, but perhaps the real master is still him, Rong Xiu!
“Besides, in the God Residence Realm, the strong are respected.” Although Yi Wentao was still smiling, there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes. Even if Peach Blossom Dock belongs to Shangguan Yue now… She will be considered capable if she can defend it!
“Jiuqing, what do you think?” He turned his head and glanced at Jun Jiuqing.
Jun Jiuqing’s eyes flickered. “You’re right, Master.”
Yi Wentao nodded. “In that case, everyone, go back and prepare immediately. We’ll set off tomorrow!”
…
The Yi family had made up their minds to attack Peach Blossom Dock. However, they weren’t the only ones who had made the same choice.
At the Nan residence.
It was already night, but the top of the mountain was still brightly lit.
In the solemn and spacious room, the Nan family elders were all gathered here.
As the family head, Nan Yifan sat at the head of the table.
The air seemed to be frozen, and everyone was silent.
After a while, Nan Yifan said, “…That’s what happened. Yuxing and the others were originally going to Peach Blossom Dock to find Yiyi’s murderer, but in the end, they found Rong Xiu and Shangguan Yue. But not long after they sent back the news—”
His voice was heavy and hoarse.
His face was haggard, almost unlike anything anyone had ever seen. It was obvious what a blow this matter had dealt him!
The crowd became increasingly silent. If all of this is true, doesn’t it mean that Rong Xiu and the others are the ones who killed Nan Yiyi and Nan Yuxing?
“Other than Yuxing, more than half of the eight elders who went with him have also died. If I’m not wrong, there should only be Luo Yan and the other three left now… And they haven’t sent any news back yet. I think… the situation isn’t good.”
The more Nan Yifan spoke, the uglier everyone’s expressions became.
Most people didn’t know that Nan Yuxing and the others had gone to Peach Blossom Dock.
When they received the news, they heard that they had already lost five elders! Nan Yuxing, who had the greatest hope of becoming the next family head, was also dead!
“Rong Xiu! Shangguan Yue! They’re going too far!”
An elder finally couldn’t help but say angrily, “Master, we must definitely get back at them for this! Isn’t it just the Sky-Cloud Empire? Could it be that our Nan family is afraid of them?!”
“That’s right! Since they’re so impudent, don’t blame us for being rude!”
“Flatten Peach Blossom Dock!”
