Location: Qin Estate – Eastern Defensive Wall
The battlefield trembled as lightning and void energy clashed again and again.
Fenglan and Pei Liang moved like flashes of light across the battlefield—each strike shaking the earth beneath their feet.
High above the walls, Qin disciples watched in disbelief.
"Young Master Fenglan is actually matching Pei Liang…"
But the battle outside was only half the danger.
The true threat was already inside the Qin estate.
🌑 The Hidden Sabotage
Deep beneath the eastern wall, inside the Barrier Control Chamber, a shadow moved quietly between glowing formation pillars.
The Qin estate's massive defensive barrier depended on these ancient formation nodes.
If even one was destroyed, the entire defense could collapse.
The shadow stepped forward.
Moonlight revealed the person's face.
It was Elder Qin Renshu.
His eyes were cold.
"This clan has grown weak protecting those children."
He raised a small lightning talisman engraved with the Pei family crest.
"Sometimes… sacrifice is necessary."
The talisman ignited.
A powerful lightning surge blasted directly into the formation pillar.
CRACK!
The defensive barrier above the eastern wall flickered violently.
🌌 The Barrier Breaks
On the battlefield outside, Pei Zonghan immediately noticed the change.
His sharp eyes gleamed.
"The barrier is weakening."
He raised his hand.
"Advance!"
Lightning cultivators surged forward again.
This time, the Qin barrier shattered like broken glass.
The Pei army flooded through the opening.
🌸 Chaos in the Estate
Inside the Qin estate, panic erupted.
Disciples rushed to defend the breach.
Explosions of spiritual energy lit the courtyards.
Meiyue saw the collapsing barrier and gasped.
"The formation… someone sabotaged it!"
She immediately rushed toward the breach, silver energy blazing around her.
🌑 Yaling's Quiet Satisfaction
From a high balcony overlooking the chaos, Shaw Yaling watched calmly.
The battlefield flames reflected in her eyes.
A servant approached nervously.
"Lady Yaling… the Pei army has entered the estate."
She smiled faintly.
"Everything is unfolding perfectly."
Her gaze shifted toward the battlefield where Fenglan fought.
"Soon… the Qin clan will fall."
🌌 Fenglan Realizes the Truth
Back on the battlefield, Fenglan suddenly felt the barrier collapse behind him.
His eyes widened.
"The estate—!"
Pei Liang laughed loudly.
"Too late to worry about that now!"
Lightning exploded around his spear as he launched another deadly attack.
Thunder God Strike!
Fenglan barely blocked the attack with a Void shield.
But his attention was divided.
Inside the estate…
His family was under attack.
🌠 The Qin Clan's Desperate Stand
On the broken eastern wall, Qin Yong finally entered the battlefield.
His powerful cultivation erupted like a blazing sun.
"All Qin disciples, hold the line!"
Golden spiritual energy surged across the battlefield, forcing several Pei warriors backward.
The clan head had personally joined the fight.
But the enemy numbers were overwhelming.
