Super War God in the City

After leaving Wushen Peak, Wei Xuewen and others hurried to Xuan Ming Peak, each with a sense of panic in their hearts, feeling that only by gathering together could they have a sense of security.

"As expected, Ruan Wei Mao went to Zhu Rong Peak, and Yu Yongchang is also there discussing major issues. Tomorrow's assembly will surely be a move to force the hierarch's hand!" Huang Yutang said with an ugly expression.

"Brother Wei, the survival of the Wushen Lineage hinges on tomorrow. What do you think—are our chances good?" Gu Xingchao said gravely.

Wei Xuewen glanced at the two indifferently and pondered, "Only a thirty percent chance, but really, it's hard to say."

"Hiss~"

Upon hearing this, their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley. Although they had also thought the same, hearing Wei Xuewen state it so bluntly made it taste somewhat bitter.

"If the Sect Hierarch fails, our lineages will likely suffer as well, and we're bound to be marginalized in the future!" Huang Yutang voiced his concerns.

"Could it be that we should switch sides?" Gu Xingchao inhaled a cold breath and asked.

These two hadn't even done much yet, and they were already considering the possibility of defeat.

Wei Xuewen, sitting nearby, sneered and said, "You two are overthinking it. Whether we switch sides or not, it won't make much impact on the situation.

Even if we do turn traitor, it would only make us look even more despicable.

Therefore, our only hope is for that lad to have some miracle up his sleeve. Worrying too much is futile; our fate is out of our hands for the current situation!"

Upon hearing this, the two let out a dry laugh, "Hehe, we are just rambling. Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate!"

...

The next day, bright and early, the entire Witchcraft Sect, in every corner, in secluded places, disciples from various peaks gathered in small groups here and there, whispering among themselves.

"Did you know? Rumors are spreading that today's Wushen Peak assembly will witness a shocking upheaval," a disciple from Hou Tu Peak murmured.

"Damn, who wouldn't know about that? I heard that the Guest Official Protector, who was recalled by the Saintess yesterday, made a huge ruckus on Zhu Rong Peak and offended everyone!

Not only did he take care of Zhu Rong Peak's people, but he also completely alienated both Di Jiang Peak and Tianwu Peak. In my opinion, the Wushen Lineage is digging its own grave and is utterly finished!" a disciple from a neighboring mountain added in a low voice.

"What the hell was the Saintess thinking bringing back this idiot? I can understand messing with Zhu Rong Peak.

But damn it, why on earth would he offend Di Jiang Peak and Tianwu Peak? Does this guy have a screw loose in his head?" someone nearby said angrily.

"Sigh, let's just hope that the Hierarch's divine might can handle this. Otherwise, we'll all have a hard time of it," the first speaker sighed.

In the great hall of Wushen Peak, Duan Wuqing arrived early.

This fellow was more nervous than anyone else, knowing very well that after today, it would be a matter of either winning the crown or becoming a fugitive.

It wasn't long before Wei Xuewen and the others gradually arrived in the great hall.

"Has the Hierarch not arrived yet?" Wei Xuewen asked Duan Wuqing in a low voice upon seeing him.

"The Hierarch is in the secret chamber and might be a little delayed," Duan Wuqing nodded.

"Again in the secret chamber?" Huang Yutang couldn't help but murmur.

They all had an ominous premonition, wondering why Lan Xingyuan always retreated to the secret chamber for seclusion. Could his hidden ailment really have reached a very dangerous state?

If not, it made no sense to be there in such a critical time.

The three said nothing more, but their hearts sank deeper.

As the rising sun appeared, the remaining Peak Masters from the various lineages gradually arrived one after the other, with only Zhu Rong Peak and Di Jiang Peak still absent in the end.

In the great hall, the teams on either side were distinctly divided, with the Zhu Rong Lineage and Tianwu Peak Lineage standing together.

In comparison, the small troop led by Wei Xuewen appeared much less imposing!

Jia Qingsheng glanced at the three, scoffing internally, "This Wushen Lineage, countable on the fingers for the few lackluster people they have, unfit for serious use.

The coup today will surely result in a clear victory!"

Wei Xuewen and his two companions felt significant pressure from the gazes of the others.

"Sigh~

I just hope that kid wasn't talking big and can stand up to their threats!" Wei Xuewen and his associates prayed silently to themselves.

Just then, two figures appeared at the doorway, Dong Yanghua and Ruan Wei Mao.

"Isn't it getting late? Hasn't the Sect Hierarch arrived yet?" Dong Yanghua said mildly, hands clasped behind his back.

"Protector Duan, everyone is here. Please invite the Sect Hierarch to come out. Today I, Ruan Wei Mao, must demand an explanation!" Ruan Wei Mao said coldly.

His son, once the pride of heaven, had become a cripple, and he had to kill Ling Fan to quell the hatred in his heart.

"Indeed, Protector Duan, please fetch him. My son was badly injured yesterday, and I hope the Sect Hierarch can come out to administer justice," Yu Yongchang said in an indifferent tone, barely concealing the raging fury in his voice.

Duan Wuqing broke into a cold sweat upon seeing everyone's attitude.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. The Sect Hierarch is dealing with a matter and will be here soon!" Duan Wuqing spoke up.

Although he said this, in his heart, he was praying for the Sect Hierarch to appear quickly.

"Heh, how come I heard that the Sect Hierarch went to the secret chamber? Perhaps he's not feeling well? Or could there be some trouble?" Dong Yanghua sneered.

"Master Dong, aren't you going a bit too far with that remark, challenging the authority of the Sect Hierarch?" Wei Xuewen said, forcing himself to speak up.

As part of the Wushen Lineage, he couldn't just stand by silently.

"Exactly, how the Sect Hierarch is not for you to casually speculate about. Are you trying to rebel by defying your superiors?" Huang Yutang also spoke up coldly.

"The matters of concern to everyone here will be decided by the Sect Hierarch himself. Please be patient!" Gu Xingchao spoke calmly.

Although their side was weaker, they were still the orthodox faction and could not compromise their dignity.

Dong Yanghua narrowed his eyes. He had come specifically to stage a palace coup that day. If those three had just kept a low profile, it would have been fine.

What sort of show of force was this, not knowing their place?

And they dared to talk back to him, utterly unaware of their impending doom!

"What are you all waiting for, seize these three!" Dong Yanghua suddenly shouted vehemently.

Immediately, the Zhu Rong Lineage and several Peak Masters from the Tianwu Lineage stepped forward, surrounding Wei Xuewen and his two companions.

Seeing this, the three were astounded. Although they knew their opponents would make a move today, they hadn't expected such direct action, resorting to force without a word.

Seeing this, Protector Duan's hands and feet turned cold, and his face paled, as the situation appeared very grim.

"You dare to rebel?" Wei Xuewen's face turned red with anger as he shouted.

A cold smile formed in Dong Yanghua's heart. Having decided to stage a coup, there was no point in hesitating. With Lan Xingyuan absent, why not seize these fools quickly?

"Submit or die, it's one or the other!" Dong Yanghua huffed.

As his words ended, aside from Ruan Wei Mao and Yu Yongchang who stood beside him, everyone else released their imposing auras, targeting Wei Xuewen and his two companions.

Feeling themselves the focus of the opponents' auras, they looked at each other with alarm, feeling the pressure increasing. Even if they resisted, they would be severely injured in an instant. The other side not only had greater strength but also overwhelming numbers.

Duan Wuqing, standing to the side with clenched fists, repeatedly restrained himself from acting, knowing that Yu Yongchang was subtly targeting him too.

"When the Sect Hierarch shows up, I promise you'll deeply regret this!" Wei Xuewen gritted his teeth and shouted coldly, ultimately choosing not to act.

"Hmph, cornered beasts still dare to put on a tough front. Capture them!" Dong Yanghua commanded coldly, and several Peak Masters stepped forward to apprehend Wei Xuewen and the others.

Dong Yanghua had entered the scene with a thunderous approach, not giving Wei Xuewen and the others a chance to resist, taking control of them directly.

"Everyone, follow me to where the Sect Hierarch is in closed-door cultivation, and let's demand justice!" Dong Yanghua said arrogantly, hands behind his back, exuding confidence.
