Xing Chen's expression changed slightly, and his gaze suddenly turned cold as he looked at the disciple and said, "What do you mean? The Zhang Family has launched an attack on the Elemental Stone Vein?"
"Yes, Helmsman. Ling Vice Leader sent word that the Zhang Family has dispatched many powerful individuals this time; they simply cannot hold them off," the disciple replied.
"Did you not notice any of the Zhang Family members leaving the city?" Xing Chen pressed down his anger.
"Helmsman, aside from Zhang Yifan, none of the Zhang Family members left the city. It was all Sword Sect members attacking the Elemental Stone Vein," the disciple said, still looking flustered.
"Sword Sect members? Didn't they already enter the city? Why are there still their people outside?" A killing intent flickered in Xing Chen's eyes. He had previously determined that the Zhang Family would not dare to attack the Elemental Stone Vein, and now this situation was directly related to his misjudgment.
"It seems that not all Sword Sect members entered the city initially; some of their forces were sent out to attack the Elemental Stone Vein," the disciple stammered.
"Alright, you can leave for now. I will handle this matter," Xing Chen said slowly after taking a deep breath.
"Yes, Helmsman!" The disciple responded and then slowly withdrew.
"Everyone, I’m afraid I cannot participate in today’s matters. The Elemental Stone Vein of my Starry Branch is under fierce attack from the Zhang Family, and I must go deal with it." After the disciple left, Xing Chen stood up and addressed everyone before turning to leave.
"Xing Chen, Helmsman, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Aren't we discussing how to deal with the Zhang Family? Now that the Zhang Family is our common enemy, their attack on your Starry Branch means we cannot stand by idly," said Third Prince, stopping Xing Chen. Of course, he did not genuinely want to help Xing Chen; he was compelled to do so.
After all, everyone had just formed an alliance. If someone encountered trouble and he did not help, it would surely make others feel insecure about the alliance. In that case, no one would be fully committed to working together. Thus, Third Prince needed to take this opportunity to convey to everyone that once they formed an alliance, if any one person faced issues, the others would not ignore it.
"This seems a bit inappropriate! After all, this is a matter for my Starry Branch and has nothing to do with you; you really don’t need to get involved," Xing Chen frowned and attempted to retreat strategically.
"Helmsman Xing Chen, that's not how it works. Since we have formed an alliance, we cannot let any one person handle the issue with the Zhang Family alone. We will definitely assist you in reclaiming the Elemental Stone Vein," Third Prince declared grandly with a wave of his hand.
"Since that's the case, I won't be polite with everyone. The attack on my Starry Branch's Elemental Stone Vein by the Zhang Family is entirely reliant on the power of the Sword Sect. Moreover, what the Third Prince just mentioned about the Zhang Family having a total of seventy-five Soul Refinement Realm experts is incorrect. Those seventy-five Soul Refinement Realm experts are merely from Star City; there are still many Sword Sect experts outside of Star City. Therefore, we must replan," Xing Chen stated, not insisting on leaving but instead revealing the information he had just obtained.
"Is the Sword Sect really that powerful? They actually dispatched so many experts to Star City," the crowd began to discuss among themselves after hearing Xing Chen's words.
"It seems we do need to come up with a new plan. However, our immediate priority is still to help Xing Chen and the Helmsman reclaim the Elemental Stone Vein," the Third Prince said, showing a thoughtful expression before speaking.
"I estimate that things won't be this simple. The Zhang Family still has over seventy Soul Refinement Realm experts in Star City, including five Soul Realm Experts. It won't be easy for us to leave the city," Xing Chen said with a frown.
"Oh? Then does Xing Chen, the Helmsman, have any good ideas?" The Third Prince looked at Xing Chen and asked slowly.
"If I had a solution, I wouldn't be sitting here," Xing Chen shook his head. The Zhang Family's move was too ruthless, leaving him no time to think of a countermeasure. It was likely that even if he went to the Elemental Stone Vein now, it would already be too late.
"Did you really suffer an attack from the Zhang Family?" At this moment, Xu Yuxi asked softly from the side.
"Do I really need to lie about such things?" Xing Chen looked at Xu Yuxi and replied somewhat speechlessly.
"That’s not necessarily true; maybe you have some scheme in mind!" Xu Yuxi blinked and smiled.
"Your imagination is truly rich," Xing Chen casually remarked before falling back into deep thought. If nothing unexpected happened, Ling would undoubtedly die, and the Elemental Stone Vein would certainly be occupied by the Zhang Family.
"If all else fails, we can directly launch an attack on the Zhang Family. Once they can't hold on anymore, those outside the city will definitely come back to assist," one person stood up and suggested.
"This method can only be used as a last resort. For now, let's think if there are any better options. If it really comes down to it, then we will have no choice but to use this method," the Third Prince frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Oh, it's quite lively here! What? You don't mind if this old man joins in?" Just as everyone was deep in thought, a person slowly walked in; it was none other than Zhang Gaoyuan, the current head of the Zhang Family.
"Zhang Gaoyuan? You actually dare to come here?" The Third Prince's gaze sharpened as he looked at Zhang Gaoyuan with a glint of killing intent in his eyes.
"Why am I afraid to come? I, too, want to hear how you plan to deal with me, Zhang Family," Zhang Gaoyuan said with a smile.
"Hehe, since that's the case, then listen up. We were still pondering how to resolve the crisis of my Starry Branch and Elemental Stone Vein when you unexpectedly came knocking," Xing Chen stood up at this moment, his eyes glinting coldly as he looked at Zhang Gaoyuan.
"Haha, it seems you've already received the news. However, the information you received is a bit late; that Elemental Stone Vein now belongs to us, Zhang Family," Zhang Gaoyuan laughed heartily.
"What about Ling?" Xing Chen slowly approached Zhang Gaoyuan and asked.
"How do you think he is doing right now?" Zhang Gaoyuan looked at Xing Chen with a teasing expression, his face filled with smiles.
"I don't have the time to waste with you. Since you don't want to talk, then you don't have to," Xing Chen's eyes were now shrouded in a bloody glow. He looked at Zhang Gaoyuan with a hint of a cruel smile on his lips, raising his hand slightly as he quickly formed one seal after another in the air.
A dazzling blood-red light appeared on Xing Chen's palm, two Blood Seals danced like an Angry Dragon in the blood glow.
"Seven Killing Blood Seal—" A fierce look flashed in Xing Chen's eyes as he thrust his hands forward, sending a blood-red beam shooting towards Zhang Gaoyuan.
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed as dust flew around, and everyone’s faces showed shock. No one expected that Xing Chen would strike without hesitation and use such powerful Martial Arts; at that moment, everyone realized he truly intended to take Zhang Gaoyuan's life.
"You rascal, the power of your Martial Arts is impressive; it's just a pity your cultivation is too low. Otherwise, this strike might have actually taken the life of this old rascal!" Just as everyone was astonished, a voice slowly emerged. Upon hearing this voice, Xing Chen's expression darkened instantly.
He knew very well how powerful his Martial Arts were; the combined force of the Seven Killing Blood Seal was enough to rival Earth-Level Primary Martial Technique. Even a pinnacle Earth Soul Realm expert could be severely injured by it. But hearing Zhang Gaoyuan's voice full of vigor made it clear he had not been hurt at all. A thought flashed through Xing Chen's mind: Zhang Gaoyuan had reached the Soul Realm.
"Soul Realm? You have reached the Soul Realm?" Xing Chen looked at Zhang Gaoyuan with a slightly changed expression.
"Not bad for a rascal; your eyesight is good, and your Martial Arts are even better. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the signature Martial Arts of the Seven Killing True Monarch from back in the day—the Seven Killing Blood Seal!" Zhang Gaoyuan still wore a smile on his face as he spoke.
“Zhang Gaoyuan, this is not a place for you to act recklessly. If you leave now, I can let you go; otherwise…” A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Third Prince as he coldly spoke to Zhang Gaoyuan.
“Ha ha, don’t be so agitated. I actually have no other intentions for coming here; I just wanted to see who is present.” Zhang Gaoyuan smiled and scanned the crowd.
“Zhang Gaoyuan, let me remind you that it’s better to be low-key; otherwise, you will bring disaster upon yourself.” The Third Prince looked at Zhang Gaoyuan, a fleeting killing intent appearing in his eyes.
“I will remember the teachings of Third Prince. Since you all are so unwelcoming, I won’t linger here any longer.” Zhang Gaoyuan still wore a smile on his face as he turned to walk towards the door.
“Zhang Gaoyuan, remember this: your entire Zhang Family will be exterminated because of your and Zhang Yifan’s foolish actions. I, Xing Chen, will make it happen.” As he watched Zhang Gaoyuan walk away, Xing Chen’s voice was chillingly cold.
“If this threat came from Yun Qing, it would make me anxious for a while. However, you don’t have the qualification to say such things.” Zhang Gaoyuan paused for a moment before slowly replying.
“We will see whether you have that qualification. Zhang Gaoyuan, remember my words; you will definitely regret it.” Xing Chen licked his lips, a hint of bloodthirst shining in his eyes.
“Then I will wait for your grand arrival at the Zhang Family. I hope you can fulfill your promise; otherwise, I will be very disappointed!” After saying this, Zhang Gaoyuan left amidst the angry gazes of the crowd.
“Everyone, did you see that? The Zhang Family has become this arrogant. If we don’t take action soon, we might be picked off one by one.” The Third Prince said darkly as he watched Zhang Gaoyuan leave.
