Chapter 1802 This is a declaration of war!
Somewhere deep in the Kunlun Realm, there are more than a dozen palaces. This is a branch palace under the An Palace.
In a huge hall, an old man was sitting at the top seat. He was the person in charge of this branch hall and one of the ten most respected elders in the An Hall. His name was Wei Linshan!
The atmosphere in the hall at this moment was obviously a little depressing.
"Don't you want to explain something?"
Wei Linshan's voice sank.
“Respected Elder, it is really… Right now we are short of manpower and our strength is too dispersed. In addition, some of our divine tools and plants have long been targeted by some powerful forces, so…”
An elder spoke hesitantly.
“Especially, nowadays, the guardian artifacts of many forces have reached a critical moment in need of upgrading, and some families have failed to upgrade, and they are all looking for replacements.
So...they are completely different now than they were before, and both sides often fight to the death, and we have indeed suffered heavy casualties recently."
Another elder echoed.
"These are not reasons why you cannot complete the mission!"
Wei Linshan's voice turned cold.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene fell to freezing point again. More than a dozen elders looked at each other in bewilderment. It was indeed different now than in the past. The situation had indeed changed.
Wei Linshan glanced around and tried his best to suppress his anger.
"It's not that I don't sympathize with you, it's the deputy hall master who has been keeping an eye on us recently!
If we can present one or two decent artifacts or sacred plants to the enemy right now, it will greatly ease our recent pressure."
Wei Linshan's tone softened a little. After all, he had to rely on these people to "do the work".
The elders exchanged glances and understood what Wei Linshan said.
"Don't fight alone recently. Form two or three groups into one. Select some more valuable ones and take them down as soon as possible!"
Wei Linshan spoke again.
"Yes!"
A dozen elders bowed.
"Respected Elder, the divine plant that Elder Xu is targeting seems to be of a very high level. I wonder if he can successfully bring it back today."
The leading elder reported back.
"I know about it."
Wei Linshan nodded.
“Respect the elders…”
The elder hesitated to speak.
"Just say whatever you want to say."
Wei Linshan was puzzled.
"We have indeed encountered many obstacles recently, but there is one person who often appears in our field of vision."
The elder continued.
"You are talking about Yun Chengtian, right?"
Wei Linshan had guessed something long ago.
"That's right, it's Yun Chengtian from the Yun family! He...he has become more and more unscrupulous over the past year, and has been our enemy everywhere!"
The elder explained.
"What do you want to say?"
Wei Changlin asked.
"Respected Elder, do you want to do something for the Yun family? This will also help..."
The elder hesitated.
“I have had such thoughts before, but we have already missed the opportunity. It is not so easy to take down the Yun family. We will have to pay a heavy price!
As for the price...we can't afford it, and no one in the other branches will be willing to pay it."
Wei Changlin sighed.
"Don't say that we can't achieve our goal by ourselves. Even if we do achieve it, I'm afraid we will only be making wedding clothes for others in the end."
A dozen elders nodded, all knowing the complexity of the matter.
Before anyone could say anything, there was a noise outside.
"It should be Elder Xu who has returned."
The leading elder made the judgment, and everyone looked outside the hall.
Soon, Elder Xu, who was let go by Xiao Yi, staggered over, supported by several people, his body covered in blood.
"Old Xu!"
The faces of several elders changed and they hurried forward.
"what happened?"
“Respect the elders…”
Elder Xu was already extremely weak, and several elders hurriedly helped him to Wei Linshan's side.
"What happened?"
Wei Linshan frowned. The elder in front of him was one of the top three in terms of strength among his elders. How could he be injured like this?
"The divine plant today is... an ancient divine plant! It is extremely powerful!"
Elder Xu thought about it and decided to bring up the matter of the sacred plant first.
For a moment, the expressions of Wei Linshan and the other elders all changed, and they couldn't help but feel a little happy in their hearts.
"Your people will not all be planted by the gods..."
The leading elder frowned.
"All dead!"
Elder Xu looked in pain.
"But he didn't die at the hands of that divine plant, but at Netherworld Villa!"
"Netherworld Villa?"
"It's my fault. I didn't know enough about the sacred plant and I didn't bring enough people with me. We fought against the people from Netherworld Villa.
Actually, they were sure of it, but then they got a seventh-grade martial saint. No, his strength was even close to the eighth grade, so...
If they hadn’t risked their lives to protect me, I wouldn’t have been able to come back…”
Elder Xu described Xiao Yi and the others' strength as powerful as possible, so that he could shirk some of his responsibilities.
"Close to the eighth rank?"
"That must be the Grand Elder of Netherworld Villa!"
"So, they must have known about the situation of that sacred plant long ago and were well prepared!"
The elders discussed among themselves.
"The sacred plant... may have been taken by them! Elder, we can't just let this go!"
Elder Xu managed to finish his words before completely passing out.
"Old Xu!"
Several elders hurriedly dealt with Elder Xu and had him carried out.
"Netherworld Villa!"
Wei Linshan's voice sank.
"Since they knew that Elder Xu was from our An Palace, those guys still dared to act so cruelly. They don't take our An Palace seriously at all!"
An elder said indignantly.
"This is a declaration of war! This revenge must be avenged!"
The other elders also looked angry.
Normally speaking, in a similar situation, even if Youming Mountain Villa did not take the initiative to back down, it should have stopped. Now they dared to kill all their people, which was simply courting death!
"Everyone, you heard it too."
Wei Linshan raised his head and looked towards the top of the hall, but could not make out any tone.
The next second, a vortex slowly emerged, and the magnetic field of the entire hall changed drastically in an instant.
boom!
As a powerful pressure descended, several artifacts slowly emerged from the vortex, all of which were surrounded by powerful energy auras, and some even emitted the aura of death from the underworld.
"Master Wei, there is no need to hesitate, let's start the war!"
An ink-colored seal filled with murderous aura spoke slowly.
"If this matter gets out, it won't just be our branch hall that loses face, but the entire Dark Hall!
If we continue like this, it won’t be a big deal if we are blamed by the higher-ups, but if someone takes this opportunity to disband or recruit us, we will be in a passive position.”
Another small divine plant spoke, its voice extremely sharp.
The elders in the hall exchanged glances and had the same idea.
“Even if it’s not for the divine plant, we still have to regain the reputation of the Dark Palace, otherwise more people will look down on us in the future!”
The leading elder said seriously.
"Respected elders, it's time to re-establish your authority!"
All the elders bowed their hands together, their fighting spirit rising.
Wei Linshan glanced around and was quite satisfied with everyone's attitude.
"Of course we have to take back our face! But the same goes for that ancient divine plant!
We may not be able to easily take action against the Yun family, but killing a supreme elder of the Netherworld Villa is nothing!"
Wei Linshan spoke, and his target could not possibly be the entire Netherworld Villa.
Even if his branch hall could do it, the deputy hall master or hall master behind him would never agree.
He knew the order and operating rules of the Kunlun Realm very well. Even if there was deep hatred between many forces, they would still depend on each other. In many cases, the existence of opponents would actually help them develop better...
