Jiang Xiaobai continued: "The true hero acts for the country and the people; this is the ancestral teaching of our Ancient Clan, but I suppose many of you have long forgotten it.
Indeed, I once forgot it too.
It was the War God King who made rember it again."
"Indeed, were it not for the War God King, I wouldn’t have realized how many undercover agents, spies, and criminals are hidden within our Central Plains Ancient Clan.
If it had continued that way, the Central Plains Ancient Clan would surely have been destroyed by my own hands sooner or later."
Li Xiaoyao said: "It was not the War God King who destroyed the Central Plains Ancient Clan, but he who saved it; scraping the bones to heal the injury may be painful, but as long as it cures the disease, it is worth it."
"You!"
King Chu had nothing more to say.
Nor did King of Qin.
They had to acknowledge that Li Xiaoyao and Jiang Xiaobai’s words made perfect sense.
Moreover, the key issue now was that none of them were a match for Xiao Chen.
"I once advised you all not to act, but you didn’t listen, thinking I was trying to frighten you. And now, how does it feel? The na of the War God King truly lives up to its reputation."
Jiang Xiaobai sneered.
Everyone bowed their heads.
Indeed, Jiang Xiaobai had previously warned them that Xiao Chen was not soone they could afford to provoke.
But they simply hadn’t believed it at the ti.
They thought even if Xiao Chen recovered, he couldn’t possibly be a match for them.
But now, they were proven utterly wrong; their arrogance was shalessly countered.
"When did the Beiqi Ancient Clan beco his followers?"
King Chu Xiang Batian asked.
"A long ti ago, even before the battle of Ice City, we collectively joined the Xiao Family under the War God King, becoming one of their mbers.
Therefore, we call him Family Head."
Jiang Xiaobai responded.
"Putting it this way, back when the War God King traveled to Beihai Country, there were many assassins attempting to infiltrate Longcheng to assassinate Xiao Chen.
And the ones putting up the strongest resistance were you?"
Xiang Batian continued to inquire.
"Precisely, and because of this, I discovered so interesting things at the ti; among the attackers attempting to assassinate Mr. Xiao, there were people from the Southern Chu Ancient Clan and the Central Plains Ancient Clan.
You thought they had disappeared or been killed, but in truth, they’re perfectly fine; they have already confessed everything.
Due to Li Xiaoyao’s retreat, Li Changsheng, the Elder, misled the Central Plains Ancient Clan.
For the rise of the Central Plains Ancient Clan, Li Changsheng collaborated with the Hades Association.
As for the Southern Chu Ancient Clan, heh, Xiang Batian, you are the culprit. Before, the Southern Chu Ancient Clan conspired with Wo Nation’s Saber God Muramasa to fra the King Yama War God, only to later collude with external enemies to fra the War God King.
Little did you know, the person you wronged was the sa.
That person is our Family Head, Mr. Xiao.
You’ve actually been exposed for a long ti, only you yourself didn’t realize it."
Jiang Xiaobai coldly stated.
"Enough, no more nonsense, today I offer you two choices.
Firstly, join the Xiao Family like Central Plains Ancient Clan and Beiqi Ancient Clan, serving the country;
Secondly, disband the Ancient Clan and confess and submit to punishnt!
Of course, you can choose neither, but in that case, I’ll be forced to take action myself."
Xiao Chen coldly said.
"The War God King possesses extraordinary martial skills, a true exemplar for Martial Artists. I have always admired the strong, and this defeat I admit willingly.
I, representing the Western Qin Ancient Clan, am willing to lead my people to pledge allegiance to the Xiao Family and beco one of its mbers."
King of Qin was the first to declare.
"Let remind you, once you join the Xiao Family, you must abide by Xiao Family’s rules, adhere to Dragon Country’s laws, and never revert to past behaviors.
Should you fail to comply, both the Xiao Family law and national law will set things right."
Xiao Chen said.
"I am well aware of this, rest assured."
King of Qin nodded.
"My East Sea Ancient Clan is also willing to submit to the War God King, but, I still need to account for recent events to my clan mbers."
East Sea King frowned and said.
"Account? This guy here is the account!"
Xiao Chen lifted Xiang Batian and said, "You’ve all been deceived by him; he is one of the ’Tyrant Demon,’ the thirteen Demon Generals of the Hades Association.
The casualties across various clans this ti were all secretly conducted by the Hades Association, who then forged evidence to incriminate , simply wanting to provoke a war among us.
I actually have very solid evidence.
The reason why I haven’t presented it yet was rely to group you all together.
Solving the issue collectively is more convenient this way."
"Nonsense, how could I be one of the Hades Association!"
King Chu Xiang Batian shook his head and clung, "I, the dignified King Chu, would never join the Hades Association!"
"Denying won’t help you; you aren’t even Xiang Batian anymore, for the real Xiang Batian was killed by you long ago."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he suddenly ripped a layer of skin off King Chu’s face.
It turned out to be a mask.
An extrely realistic mask.
As it ca off, a totally different person appeared.
"Tyrant Demon, who once served in the Assassin’s Family, killing twenty-nine War Gods around the world in a year, causing chaos in many countries.
You’re impressive.
But alas, you shouldn’t have targeted , or you wouldn’t have been exposed this quickly."
Xiao Chen sneered.
"Damn it, you fooled big ti!"
Xiang Feiyu exclaid in fury.
Since a young age, he sensed sothing wrong with his father, for he stopped sharing a bed or even a room with his mother as soon as he was three years old.
At that age, he couldn’t quite understand why.
But now, he understood.
Because the person feared exposure.
"You deceived us! You nearly created a catastrophe."
East Sea King said in anger: "Mr. War God King, from now on, the East Sea Ancient Clan is yours to command as you wish."
"Mr. War God King, my Southern Chu Ancient Clan is also ready to serve you, but I might need to sort out internal family matters first."
Xiang Feiyu acknowledged.
"Granted!"
Xiao Chen smiled and look towards Yunng Xiang: "How about you?"
"I could stay by the War God King’s side, even as a maidservant."
Yunng Xiang smiled and said, "But, our Yunng Ancient Clan is different from other Ancient Clans; we remain secluded and might not serve you."
"You don’t have to serve , but since you’re born in the Dragon Country, you must bear its responsibilities.
Not a penny less in taxes, you can return and inform your Yunng Ancient Clan Leader.
If they’re unwilling, I will pay them a visit, but if I do, so words would not be pleasant to hear."
Xiao Chen said.
"Understood."
Yunng Xiang nodded.
This War God King sure is assertive.
Yet, sohow, she found herself slightly enamored.
"Congratulations, Family Head!"
"Cheers, Family Head!"
Li Xiaoyao and Jiang Xiaobai jointly bowed.
"Family Head now has the allegiance of five out of the six Ancient Clans; truly a great fortune for the nation!"
Xiao Chen nodded.
This incident was entirely unexpected.
He had originally intended to take down each clan individually.
But upon learning of the Hades Association’s plot, he made use of it to subdue the Ancient Clans together.
Within the Ancient Clans, there are exceedingly powerful Martial Artists.
These individuals, placed on the battlefield without major wars, are undoubtedly lethal weapons for the enemy.
"From now on, Li Xiaoyao will command the Ancient Clans on my behalf, with Jiang Xiaobai, East Sea King, King of Qin, and Xiang Feiyu as full support.
Your task isn’t rely to unite the Ancient Clans together.
But also to help us conquer or eradicate other hidden existences.
Have you heard?"
