Fantasy: I Can Become Stronger By Lying Down

Chapter 23 Seventh Grade Grand Emperor Royal Saint Ruler

The pressure of the battle between the six Pre-Emperor experts quickly swept across the entire continent.

Every Pre-Emperor was the chief of a top family on the continent, or a patriarch.

In just an instant, many factions on the continent were shocked. Even the top families, the Lin family and the Li family, were attracted.

The Holy Lands, which had Grand Emperors with them, were shocked by this power and looked at the six of them.

The Lin family was surrounded by mountains, it was a geographical paradise.

Chief Lin looked at the six Pre-Emperors at the Ye family with a calm expression.

The Lin family’s patriarch came out of his closed-door cultivation and said, “It’s rare to see six Pre-Emperors fighting.”

Chief Lin nodded and said, “It’s indeed rare. The six Pre-Emperors are the top experts of this continent. Their power is extraordinary!”

The Lin family’s patriarch laughed, “Why did the Yuwen and Shentu families suddenly attack the Ye family? This is a little strange.”

Chief Lin frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, “I don’t know about that, but the Yuwen family, Shentu family, and Ye family have always been in conflict. Though it’s some minor conflict, it should have escalated into this.”

He was also puzzled.

Logically speaking, although there was some friction between the five top families, it was still far from war.

For some reason, the Shentu family and the Yuwen family had joined forces to attack the Ye family.

The Ye family had been the most powerful family among the five great families since ancient times.

Even if the Yuwen family and the Shentu family were to join forces, they would probably have to pay a painful price.

The suspicious point was that the Yuwen and Shentu families were not afraid of other sects or families taking advantage of this.

“Patriarch, the Ye family has been on good terms with the Lin family for nearly a thousand years. Should we send troops to assist the Ye family?” asked the chief.

There was not only conflict among the five top families. The Ye family and the Lin family had a good relationship for the past thousand years.

Of course, it wasn’t to the point of helping each other unconditionally. They were just friends.

The Lin family’s patriarch pondered for a moment as he calculated with his fingers. “There’s no need for that. I’ve had a

divination for the Ye family. There’s no need for the Lin family to do anything,” the Lin

family’s patriarch replied.

Chief Lin felt a little strange. There was no need for the Lin family to take action?

What was the meaning of this?

This was the alliance of two top families. If

the Ye family didn’t have external help, they would be razed to the ground by the two top

families!

However, their patriarch was the most powerful Pre-Emperor in the world except for a Grand Emperor and since his own patriarch said that they do not need to reinforce the Ye family there must be a reason.

Chief Lin asked curiously, “Patriarch, why is that? Helping them will earn us favors from them. It’s beneficial to the relationship between our two families.”

The Lin family’s patriarch shook his head, “Timely assistance? I don’t think so. By the time the Lin family arrives, the battle will probably be over. We might not even be in time to help, let alone winning favors.”

Chief Lin was taken aback.

Did this mean that the Ye family could defeat the Yuwen family and the Shentu family?

That’s impossible.

The Yuwen family’s patriarch had broken through to the Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor realm and joined forces with the Shentu

family’s patriarch.

Even if the Ye family’s patriarch was a veteran Ninth-grade Pre-Emperor, he was no match for the two.

How could the Ye family win against the two

top families?

‘Could it be that the Ye family still had a backup plan?’ Chief Lin thought to himself. It made sense. As the most powerful family among the five great families, the Ye family must have other plans.

The Li family also felt the power of the battle between the six Pre-Emperors, so they held a family meeting in the family ancestral hall.

Chief Li frowned and said, “There must be something we don’t know behind this conflict between three families’ conflict… Should we

interfere?”

The Li family’s patriarch said, “That Old Dog Yuwen has broken through to the Ninth-grade of the Pre-Emperor realm. If he worked together with that Old Dog Shentu, even the Ye family’s patriarch would not be their match.”

“The Ye family will definitely be razed to the

ground. They are a big family, if the Shentu

family and Yuwen family were to annex them, they would definitely be able to advance even further.”

“When the two families recover, they might

make a move against us,” the Li family’s patriarch said indifferently. Chief Li nodded in agreement, “The patriarch

is right. The Yuwen family and the Shentu family are extremely ambitious. After they take down the Ye family, they will definitely make a move on us. We cannot just sit back and do nothing.”

The other Li family members started to agree.

“The family chief is right. The Ye family is resourceful. We cannot just let the other two families annex them.”

“Agreed. The Li family also needs a share of

the profits.”

“The Ye family occupies the east and has abundant resources. The Yuwen family and the Shentu family will definitely not be able

to take all of it.”

“The Li family just so happens to be lacking

these resources. This time, we must get a share of the profits.”

The Li family elders spoke in succession. They

were not worried that the Yuwen family and the Shentu family would make a move on the Li family.

Instead, they started to discuss how to get

involved and have a share of the Ye family

resources.

In fact, the chief and the patriarch shared the

same thought.

As for worrying about the Yuwen and Shentu families making a move on them?

The thought alone would be an insult to the

Ye family.

The Ye family was the strongest among the

five great families. If they fought to the death, the Yuwen family and the Shentu family would definitely suffer great losses.

They would not be able to make a move against the Li family.

“If that’s the case, gather our men and we’ll

rush to the Ye family to support them,” Chief Li said with a sneer.

Support was just a front. They were going to take a share of the Ye family resources. As the most powerful family among the five

big families, the Ye family had long been a thorn in the other families ‘eyes. Now that there was a chance to wipe out the

Ye family, how could the Li family not seize the opportunity?

“The chief is wise and benevolent!”

The elders of the Li family agreed. Other than the two top families, the Holy

Land closest to the Ye family’s territory also sensed the aura of the battle between the six Pre-Emperors.

Royal Sacred Land was the closest Holy Land within the Ye family’s territory. The one in charge was Royal Saint Ruler, a

Seventh-grade Grand Emperor, also known as the Royal Grand Emperor. He was proficient in the Earth Dao and was one of the strongest experts in the world!

The Royal Sacred Land had always been in a

neutral position with the Ye family. The

conflict between the three families intrigued

them.

The Royal Saint Ruler looked at the sky and narrowed his eyes.

“The battle of six Pre-Emperors is magnificent,” the Royal Saint Ruler chuckled.

An elder from the Royal Sacred Land said, “My lord, you are a Seventh-grade Grand Emperor. The conflict between the six Pre-Emperors are just squabbles.” “You can’t say that. Look, there’s already a

trace of Grand Emperor qi on the Ye family’s patriarch. It’s as if he’s about to break through to the Grand Emperor realm.” The Royal Saint Ruler said with interest.
