126: Overlord declares war

Did they secretly run out to cause trouble for the Yang family?

Or was it an order from the Diancang Sect?

If it was an order from the Diancang Sect,

perhaps they had a backup plan.

If the two Disciples privately snuck down the mountain to seek trouble for the Yang family,

then that would be seeking their own demise.

Even an Elder was no match for Yang Yi,

much less them.

Seeing the varying expressions of the crowd,

the two Disciples naturally understood their thoughts.

They had come this time

on the orders of the Diancang Sect Master.

Their purpose in coming here was to declare war on the Yang family.

As envoys sent to declare war,

the two Disciples were naturally unafraid.

When two nations are at war, the envoy is not slain.

They believed that with the Yang family's current prestige,

they would never do something so contemptible.

Accompanied by a group of onlookers,

the two Disciples first arrived at Hall of Seeking Talents.

They did not know where the Yang family was located.

They asked a passerby.

The passerby had ill intentions.

He did not point out the location of the Yang family to them.

Instead, he led them to Hall of Seeking Talents.

As for his purpose, it was very simple.

He wanted these two Disciples to spill their blood in Hall of Seeking Talents,

arousing the dissatisfaction of the Diancang Sect and other forces,

thereby bringing more enemies to the Yang family.

As soon as the two Disciples arrived inside Hall of Seeking Talents,

two people happened to come out.

These two people were one tall and one short.

Because the Disciples of the Diancang Sect were part of the Twelve Sects of Yun Province,

they were always arrogant wherever they went.

Extremely haughty.

They were accustomed to speaking loudly.

They never put people from other small Sects or small forces in their eyes.

Seeing someone come out from inside,

one of the Disciples spread his arms,

blocking the two people on the spot.

“Are you from the Yang family?”

“Where is the Yang family head?”

“I am a Disciple of the Diancang Sect.”

“I have important matters to discuss with him.”

“You two, quickly go and call him out for me.”

The two people who came out of Hall of Seeking Talents had exceptionally bad tempers.

The taller one walked up to the Diancang Sect Disciple.

He suddenly pushed forward with a big hand,

causing the Disciple to stumble back a few steps.

“Is the Diancang Sect so impressive?”

“Do you know what place this is?”

“This is Tian Yuan City.”

“This is the Yang family’s territory.”

“No matter which Sect you are from,”

“you must behave properly when you come here.”

“There’s no problem with wanting to see our family head.”

“First, you must pass our test, my brother and I.”

“I’ve heard that your Diancang Sect has many peerless techniques.”

“If you can defeat us brothers,”

“it wouldn’t hurt to let you see the family head.”

“But if you can’t defeat us,”

“you should hurry back to the Diancang Sect.”

“And study for a few more years.”

With words spoken to this extent,

how could the two Disciples of the Diancang Sect retreat without a fight?

And there were so many people watching around them.

Furthermore, the surrounding people, enjoying the spectacle, did not shy away from making things worse.

They all started to egg them on.

“Fight, teach them a good lesson.”

“I’m rooting for you two brothers.”

“The people of your Diancang Sect must be stronger than the people of Hall of Seeking Talents.”

“You are one of the Twelve Sects of Yun Province!”

“You can’t be intimidated by these two nameless nobodies.”

“Fight, kill them!”

Without another word, both sides began to fight.

The two Disciples of the Diancang Sect were quite strong.

But the two people they faced were even stronger.

After only a few rounds,

the tall man had already slain one Diancang Sect Disciple.

Immediately after,

the tall and short individuals combined forces to deal with the other Diancang Sect Disciple.

This Diancang Sect Disciple knew he couldn't defeat his opponent.

He wanted to escape.

But the surroundings were packed with people.

He ran into a crowd.

He wanted the people to disperse.

But this group of people played a trick on him.

They squeezed together, refusing to let him pass.

A large hand pressed on his shoulder from behind.

Then, with a crack,

bones broke and tendons snapped.

Immediately after,

a large saber in the hand of the other person directly chopped down on his forehead.

Blood flowed profusely.

The surrounding people scattered in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, they were gone.

As if so many people had never appeared here at all.

On the ground, besides two corpses,

there was no one else.

The two people from Hall of Seeking Talents had also vanished without a trace.

When Zhong Mingyi learned of this matter,

he was very angry.

He ordered someone to call back the two people from Hall of Seeking Talents.

He wanted to ask them

why they had resorted to such drastic measures,

killing the two envoys of the Diancang Sect.

Did they not understand the principle that when two nations are at war, the envoy is not slain?

The people sent out searched around

but did not find the two individuals.

Zhong Mingyi suddenly had a bad premonition.

He felt that he might have fallen into someone else's trap.

These two people from Hall of Seeking Talents probably had ulterior motives long ago.

The reason they killed the people from the Diancang Sect

was very likely to bring trouble to the Yang family.

He immediately sealed off the city.

And ordered a search for these two people.

In the evening,

they finally found the two individuals.

However,

these two people had already been killed with a single sword strike to the throat.

Zhong Mingyi informed Yang Yi of this matter.

Yang Yi waved his hand,

not caring at all.

“It’s nothing.”

“In the future, we must strictly screen those who join Hall of Seeking Talents.”

“Do not let just anyone join.”

“As for the Diancang Sect side,”

“it’s irrelevant.”

“Whether we kill them or not,”

“they won’t let us off.”

Inside the main hall of the Diancang Sect.

Wang Xifeng learned that the two Disciples he sent out had been killed.

And they hadn't even met Yang Yi.

He was so angry that he flew into a rage.

He slammed his right hand on the table with a bang.

Fortunately, the table was sturdy,

otherwise, it would have been shattered into powder by him.

“This is outrageous!”

“Truly arrogant to the extreme!”

“How can a small Yang family be so overbearing and arrogant?”

“They have no regard for anyone.”

“This is not just them not putting the Diancang Sect in their eyes,”

“but also not putting the Twelve Sects in their eyes.”

“Immediately inform the other Twelve Sects of this matter.”

“I want to unite the Twelve Sects.”

“And annihilate the Yang family in one fell swoop.”

“To seek justice for those cruelly murdered by the Yang family.”

Someone immediately took the order and went to act.

The Elders whispered among themselves.

One of the Elders, with furrowed brows,

stood up, cupped his hands, and said:

“Sect Master, I know you hate Yang Yi.”

“If Yang Yi does not die,”

“our Diancang Sect will have no face to meet the world.”

“But this matter is extremely strange.”

“The Yang family is currently in its prime.”

“They would likely not slay two Disciples of inferior strength.”

“As far as I know,”

“these two Disciples were killed by people from Hall of Seeking Talents.”

“Although Hall of Seeking Talents is related to the Yang family,”

“the two people who murdered our Sect Disciples,”

“were also killed later in the evening.”

“This matter is likely someone sowing discord,”

“wanting to provoke a conflict between us and the Yang family.”

“The Yang family is not to be feared.”

“But as for the person instigating this behind the scenes,”

“we must investigate thoroughly.”

“Be careful of the mantis stalking the cicada,”

“unaware of the oriole behind.”

Wang Xifeng’s anger gradually subsided.

After a moment of thought,

he handed this matter over to the Elder who raised the question.

Then,

he looked around at everyone again,

asking who would go to the Yang family again.

The Elders looked at each other.

No one was willing to take on this task.
