Hearing what Xu Que had said, Situ Hai Tang shook her head and forced out a smile.
In her view, there would already be chaos if so many powerful men in the Infant Transformation Stage appeared in a place that was only thirty minutes away from the Water Nation.
It seems that only the Water Empress could steer him in the right direction!
Situ Hai Tang thought for a while and decided to inform the Water Empress of this.
After all, Xu Que has made himself an enemy of Shang Wu, and the Gong Family overseas is so exceedingly powerful. I have to ask the Water Empress for help.
The reason why my family, the Situ family, hasn’t dared to break the engagement with the Gong Family is because the Gong Family is so influential. I would have already ran away if I could.
While Situ Hai Tang was writing a letter to the Water Empress, Shang Wu hurriedly went back to his place. He angrily took out a Fulu and turned it into a Message Delivering Paper.
“Father! I feel rather sorry as I am writing this to you. Zhuge Liang suddenly came to the Snow City today, bragging that he would take Hai Tang away from me. He even humiliated me in front of everyone and spat on me! I was so angry, I argued with him and was heavily beaten by him. Hence, my arms are severely injured. I think Zhuge Liang is indeed an evil man, for he said he intends to destroy our Scarlet Yang Sect. Please inform my aunt about this and ask her for help as soon as you receive this paper! Otherwise, the days of our Scarlet Yang Sect are numbered.”
The Scarlet Yang Sect wasn’t very far away from the Snow City. Normally, it would only take around an hour for the paper to arrive at the Scarlet Yang Sect via the teleportation array.
At this time, the head of the Scarlet Yang Sect was chatting and enjoying tea with his friends in the Blue Water City, which was right next to the Snow City, so it only took a short while for the head of the Scarlet Yang Sect to receive Shang Wu’s message.
“What?!” Shang Ling exclaimed when he realized what had happened.
His friends were all surprised by this.
“What happened, Sect Leader Shang?!”
“My dear friends. I am so sorry that I have to leave now. I just received my son’s message, and it seems that something bad has happened. I have to head to the Snow City immediately. We shall continue our party next time.”
Shang Ling turned around and left hurriedly.
“Calm down, Sect Leader Shang. We will go with you.”
Shang Ling’s friends knew something was wrong and went with Shang Ling.
…
Outside the Snow City, an old man in the Infant Transformation stage and a few old men at the ninth level of the Original Infant Stage were heading to the city gates.
Meanwhile, Shang Wu wasn’t at the city walls.
When Shang Ling and his friends arrived at the city gates and saw nothing abnormal, he frowned and walked into the city.
The few men of the Original Infant Stage asked, “Sect Leader Shang, what on earth has happened?”
Shang Ling shook his head. “I’m afraid my son has gotten himself into trouble again. I’m his father, I know his temper! He just sent me a message and told me that General Zhuge humiliated him in front of everyone, hurting him, and even said he meant to destroy the Scarlet Yang Sect.”
“What?!” Hearing this, they were completely stunned.
“How on earth has your son offended General Zhuge?”
“I have been told that the General Zhuge is a tough figure and is called evil by people.”
“Besides that, I have been told his relationship with the Water Empress was never a simple one.”
“Not very long ago, the house of the Third Duke was looted by him.”
Shang Ling knew that Zhuge Liang was a tough figure, which was why he hurriedly came to the Snow City as soon as he had received his son’s message.
He had a rather serious expression and glanced over at a group soldiers who walked past them.
“Excuse me, I wonder if you could tell me where General Shang is?”
“General Shang? I think I saw him walking into his house earlier. Why do you want to see General Shang, by the way?” a soldier asked.
“I’ve been told that General Shang had a conflict with General Zhuge Liang, is that true?” Shang Ling asked.
Hearing this, the soldier forced out a smile and said, “Yes, it’s true. Luckily, General Situ came back and solved it.”
“Oh? Would you mind telling me what transpired in detail?”
“Never mind. Everyone already knows about this, I don’t see any point hiding it from you.” The soldier hesitated, “Well, it all started when General Zhuge said something that he shouldn’t have said. General Shang heard about it and angrily went to the inn where General Zhuge was staying. As soon as he opened the door, he saw General Zhuge and a dog spitting at each other…”
“What? Spitting at each other?”
Shang Ling and the rest of the old men were surprised.
The famous General Zhuge had a spitting competition with a dog? This is impossible…
The soldier forced out a smile.
“In fact, General Zhuge is not as scary as people have been led to believe. He was a very interesting person and once led us to protect the Snow City. Well, sometimes he is a bit… Anyway, when General Shang broke into the inn, a glob of saliva dropped right onto his face, so…”
Soon, Shang Ling and the rest of the old men knew all about the incident.
Shang Ling’s face turned rather dark.
“B*stard!” he sneered. He wasn’t angry about Xu Que; instead, he was angry about his son’s actions.
From what the soldier had told him, he realized that Xu Que had no intentions to destroy the Scarlet Yang Sect at all. It was Shang’s son who had made this up and threatened Xu Que that he would break his arms.
This is totally different from what I have been told by my son’s message.
Hearing this, the few old men were relieved.
Luckily, it’s not that serious. Since it was Shang Wu who made it a thing on purpose, it’s easy for us to deal with, at least.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Right at this moment, a great noise sounded.
More than ten people in black were headed toward the Snow City, stepping on lightning.
Seeing this, everyone present was shocked.
“Who… who are these people?!”
“My god! They’re all in the Infant Transformation Stage! What are they doing here in the Snow City?”
“We should report this to General Situ and General Shang immediately.”
All the soldiers at the city walls were a mess.
Shang Ling, as well as his old peers, were also shocked.
“What’s going on?!”
“Where have these people come from?”
“How are there are so many powerful men in the Infant Transformation Stage in the Water Nation all of a sudden?”
As far as I’m concerned, there are no more than ten people in the Infant Transformation Stage in the Water Nation. Now, ten more of them have come to the Snow City. Is something terrible going to happen?
“Look! Isn’t that General Zhuge? My god! Why on earth is he bringing so many powerful men in the Infant Transformation Stage here?” a man exclaimed.
“What?!”
Hearing this, Shang Ling and his old peers were all stunned.
“It’s said that General Zhuge is coming from the Exploding Heavens Faction. Could these people all be from the same faction?” one of Shang Ling’s friends said.
