Chapter 58: The Grand Banquet Is Near!

When this news spread to the Wang family, they also laughed happily.

“You’re really courting death. How are you going to suppress the master of the Great Abyss?”

On the peak of the snow mountain near the Wang family, a light flashed and the Wang family’s ancestor descended from the sky.

“Someone, prepare the gifts. Go to Qi Mountain County and participate in the Lin family’s month-old banquet!”

“How can I not go take a look at the destruction of the Lin family!”

The Lin family issued an invitation and held a month-old banquet. Almost all the major forces in Qi Mountain County were invited, but not many responded.

This was because the Lin family and the master of the Great Abyss were on completely different levels.

Only a few old fellows from the same generation as Ancestor Lin allowed their families to express their gratitude, but they only prepared a congratulatory gift. They tactfully said that they could not say it before leaving. Clearly, they did not want to be related to the Lin family. Most of them fled like they had encountered a ferocious beast.

There were even some people who really found an excuse to make a fool of themselves. They watched the commotion and refused to go. Before the battle began, killing intent already filled the world.

After Ancestor Lin and the Great Abyss’ Master declared war, a terrifying void crack appeared in Great Yan City the next day. This void crack was only a hundred miles in the beginning, but as time passed, it stretched out to a thousand miles or even ten thousand miles. It gave people a cold and terrifying feeling.

This spatial rift was like a blade that cut open the sky, and it gave others a terrifying feeling. Dark lights seeped out from the rift, and dense demonic qi surged over. Moreover, the spatial rift seemed to be able to absorb all the sunlight, starlight, and even moonlight. The surrounding 5,000km was gloomy, as if the end of the world had arrived, causing others to feel oppressed and condensed. Even breathing became slightly painful.

Moreover, after this spatial rift appeared, the terrifying pressure and terrifying aura of the Great Abyss’s master appeared.

A stream of qi that could corrode a person’s soul spread. The mountain forest withered and the river dried up. Thousands of living beings cried and died. Dark clouds covered the sky, making it difficult to breathe. Many people had long fled Great Yan City. Moreover, at this moment, the Lin family had declared war, and countless people and cultivators had moved out.

Many forces from the Curtain Rain Chamber of Commerce and the Spring Sun Chamber of Commerce also fled, afraid that they would be affected. It could be said that in a flash, Great Yan City instantly became desolate and dilapidated.

A breeze blew past. Under the gloomy sky, on the ancient stone path, there were some elders who had lived here for a lifetime and were unwilling to leave. However, when they saw this empty and silent street, their hearts turned cold.

“There’s no one left…”

“This is the first time Great Yan City is so deserted…”

As for the Lin family’s patrolling guards, they patrolled the streets of Great Yan City. Occasionally, they would look up at the black void rift in the sky. Then, they could only suppress the uneasiness in their hearts and continue their patrolling.

In the next two days, the Lin family walked out of Great Yan City and helped to evacuate the surrounding residents. As for the black void crack, it gradually pressed down. The aura of the Great Abyss’s master became richer and richer. Demonic qi and black fog intertwined and rolled out.

It was as if an ancient battlefield had descended here. The nomological auras from the Great Abyss locked down the Lin family’s surroundings for a hundred thousand miles.

As long as someone wanted to go out, regardless of whether they were a cultivator or a mortal, they had to bow three times and kowtow nine times to the Great Abyss. At first, some cultivators felt indignant and wanted to forcefully charge out, but in the end, they exploded into a ball of blood mist.

After that, no one dared to barge out. The black fog that spread out from the void rift enveloped Great Yan City, causing everything around to lose their vitality.

The vitality of those who did not manage to leave in time was weakening at a visible speed. The battle had yet to begin, but it already gave people a terrifying feeling.

“Looks like the master of this Great Abyss wants to fight to the death!”

When the other families of Qi Mountain County saw this scene, their hearts turned a little cold. Some of them stayed in the range of the Great Yan City’s Lin family. When they walked out, they also bowed and kowtowed before leaving, feeling very aggrieved. They originally felt that what Great Abyss did was already terrifying enough, but the actions were even more terrifying than they thought.

On the third day after the Lin family announced that they were going to fight the Great Abyss, the moon and stars shone brightly. At night, an unprecedented beast tide occurred near the Great Desolate.

This beast tide caused people to feel despair. It could be described as covering the sky and earth, and there were millions of ferocious beasts and demon beasts inside. Dozens of families did not have the time to make any countermeasures before they were swallowed up.

The pitch-black flames burning around the Profound Feather Crow resembled a black sun descending. Under the night sky, it spat out words that made people despair:

“On the orders of our Lord!”

“Kill!”

“From today onwards, all the families must sever ties with the Lin family. If you resist, this is the outcome!”

“If you want to blame someone, blame the Lin family!”

Another beast tide swept through and started a slaughter in Qi Mountain County. Wherever the beast tide swept through, the city turned into ruins, and there were no humans or beasts left. In just a night, a million corpses and blood flowed for a thousand miles.

Seeing all of this, all the families and even forces in Qi Mountain County did not aim the blade at the Great Abyss’s master. Instead, they began to condemn the Lin family. Some families and forces that were slightly closer to the vast Great Desolate quickly retreated at all costs, not even wanting their own businesses. Many families and clans even directly knelt down in the Great Abyss, sacrificing their dignity and pleading for forgiveness.

The Xiao family of Wu Tan City was one of these families. They led many small families to gather and kneel day and night to the vast Great Desolate, begging for forgiveness. They even told the vast Great Desolate everything about the Lin family.

“Father, we shouldn’t…” Xiao Shui’s expression was complicated, and he did not know what to say.

However, Xiao Zhan directly shot a glance at him and stopped Xiao Shui from speaking. There was only anger in Xiao Zhan’s eyes.

“What shouldn’t we do? We shouldn’t what, tell me?”

“If not for those bastards from the Lin family! If not for them! Why would the Great Abyss attack us?”

“Isn’t it just the life of the Lin family’s Saint Child? On what basis should they not offer him to the Great Abyss? How can the tiny Lin family resist the master of the Great Abyss?”

“What Saint Child of the Lin family? Can he account for the lives of my Xiao family alone?”

Xiao Shui opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he recalled the countless clansmen who had died overnight. He felt something block his chest, and he could not say the words he wanted to say.

He could only clench his fists tightly, even if his palm was already pierced by nails and bleeding.
