Location: Qin Estate – Outer Defensive Walls
The tension inside the Qin estate had barely settled when a loud war horn echoed across the valley.
A guard rushed into the Elder Council chamber, breathless and pale.
"Clan Head! Enemy forces approaching from the eastern valley!"
Every elder stood up immediately.
Qin Yong's voice became sharp.
"Identify them."
The guard swallowed nervously.
"The banners… they belong to the Pei family."
Silence filled the chamber.
The war had arrived sooner than anyone expected.
🌑 Pei Army Appears
Outside the Qin estate walls, hundreds of cultivators gathered in tight formations.
Their armor shimmered with lightning-shaped symbols—the unmistakable crest of the Pei clan.
At the front of the army stood Pei Zonghan, the powerful patriarch of the Pei family.
Beside him was his eldest son, Pei Liang, a young prodigy known for his brutal lightning cultivation.
Pei Zonghan raised his hand calmly.
"Today we end the Qin family's rise."
Behind him, spiritual cannons powered by lightning energy ignited.
🌌 The Qin Estate Prepares for War
Alarm bells rang across the estate.
Disciples rushed toward the defensive walls.
Protective formations lit up across the sky, forming a glowing barrier around the entire clan territory.
Inside the courtyard, Fenglan and Meiyue stood watching the approaching army.
Meiyue whispered in disbelief.
"They came this fast…"
Fenglan's eyes turned cold.
"They were waiting for weakness."
🌸 The Elders' Final Decision
Inside the council chamber, the elders argued once again.
Elder Renshu spoke angrily.
"This attack proves it! Our enemies came because of the twins' power!"
But Elder Lanying immediately replied.
"No. They came because they fear the twins' power."
Qin Yong finally raised his hand.
The room went silent.
"This is not the time for internal conflict."
His gaze hardened.
"All Qin disciples will defend the clan."
Then he looked toward the doors where Fenglan and Meiyue stood.
For the first time since the storm, he spoke to them not as a father—but as a clan leader.
"If you truly carry the power of the Void bloodline… then prove it today."
🌑 The First Clash
Outside the walls, Pei Zonghan gave the order.
"Attack."
Lightning cultivators surged forward like a wave.
Spiritual cannons fired beams of crackling energy that struck the Qin barrier, shaking the entire mountain.
The First Clan War had begun.
On the Qin walls, Fenglan stepped forward beside Meiyue.
Void energy slowly gathered around them.
Their bond pulsed stronger than ever.
Fenglan smiled slightly.
"Looks like our real training begins now."
Meiyue nodded.
"Together."
Black and silver energy spiraled into the sky.
