“That’s how it is…” Wang Yao nodded, thinking to himself, that Diao Xian is up to no good. He’s plotting to devour your Yi Clan. But he couldn’t bring himself to say it, as it would be too troublesome to explain. Meanwhile, Madam Lian had already looked up at the Second Elder.
"So, it must be you who killed all the slumbering guards of my two mud pillar buildings, ruining the mission of the special envoy?" Lady Lian asked.
"Tongxuan, how come you, an immortal, are still so stubborn? The Zhang Huang clan is still the Huang clan, and Commander Lang is still Lang Ren. It has nothing to do with you..."
"...Lady Lian, although we know about that matter, it was indeed not our doing. Now that Duobao is dead, there is no point in saying more. The situation is very clear: if you help us capture Commander Lang, five cities of my Huang clan will be yours. If you are not satisfied, six cities will do!"
"Do you know that the six cities bordering your Yi clan are the wealthiest places in my Huang clan? If your Yi clan takes them over, it will surely greatly benefit you... Tongxuan, don't be impatient. No matter how Commander Lang treated you in the past, everything in the Huang clan will remain the same in the future. You will still be the Grand Elder..."
Seeing Tongxuan rushing into the battle, the Second Elder hurriedly jumped up to intercept him. He shot silk threads at Tongxuan to block his path while trying to persuade him to defect. When he heard Lady Lian ask a question, he was busy using the city to lure her.
However, Tongxuan did not answer, but attacked with whirlwinds, and even took his magic weapon - the bamboo tube clapper - in his hand. The Second Elder's pressure increased sharply, and he was in a hurry to turn back and persuade Tongxuan. He was really busy on both sides.
"What a joke! Do I need you to cede the city of your Zhanghuang clan if I want to take it now? Wouldn't I take it myself?" Lady Lian laughed, and a red light flashed on her body, shooting straight at the Second Elder.
The Second Elder was already struggling to deal with Tongxuan, who was clapping his bamboo clappers, so how could he possibly defend against Madam Lian's attack? Just as the red light was about to hit him, a cloud of black smoke suddenly rose from the ground, engulfing Madam Lian's red light and making it disappear in the blink of an eye.
After swallowing the red light, the black smoke suddenly retracted, transforming into a young and beautiful woman in black.
"Ninth Elder?!" Tongxuan was greatly surprised and exclaimed.
Wang Yao had some impression of this Ninth Elder. It was this elder who had absorbed the Fire Crow's true form at the Tianchao City landing square. Wang Yao vividly remembered the countless giant mosquitoes that had appeared in her body at that time. It seemed that this elder had successfully advanced, which was why she easily neutralized Lady Lian's attack.
"Madam Lian, I've long heard of your great name, but seeing you today, you're nothing special. You refuse the fat meat that's been delivered right to your mouth and insist on taking advantage of the chaos. Be careful, or you might end up with a fire in your own backyard!" The Ninth Elder teased Madam Lian with a slight smile.
"Third Sister, don't talk nonsense!" Before the Ninth Elder could finish speaking, the Second Elder suddenly shouted.
"I didn't say anything..." Ninth Elder stuck out her tongue, still staring at Madam Lian. Although Madam Lian was injured by Commander Lang, her strength still far surpassed hers, so she dared not relax at all.
"What...do you mean?" Madam Lian's attack missed, but she did not continue to attack. Instead, Big Head looked at the Ninth Elder and then turned to the Second Elder, who was fighting fiercely with Tong Xuan, and asked.
She had never forgotten what Tongxuan had said before, and now that she heard the Ninth Elder mention it again and saw the Second Elder's mysterious appearance, her worries deepened.
"It's nothing much, just asking Lady Lian to help us capture Commander Lang. Our Huang clan is willing to offer generous gifts in return." The Second Elder had already woven a large net with silk threads in front of him, but every time Tong Xuan tapped the bamboo tube and wooden board in his hand, the net would immediately spread out in a large area.
He had no choice but to hurriedly spin the silk again and start weaving anew, hastily replying to Lady Lian amidst the chaos.
"That's not what I was asking about. Why did you say that I should be careful of trouble in the backyard?" Madam Lian turned to look at the Ninth Elder.
"Hehe, once you've won the title of Commander Lang, I'll naturally tell you the reason." The Ninth Elder winked at Madam Lian and chuckled.
"Playing tricks, do you think I am..." Lady Lian snorted coldly, and was about to go again when she saw a figure flying rapidly from the direction of the Zhang Huang clan in the distance.
"Second Elder! Zhang Jia, Zhuang Long, and Shi Yuan have been executed, and Shan Laoba has gone to hunt down the other inferior beings!" The figure flew close and shouted loudly.
"Good! The situation is settled. Gu Zhan, what are you still hesitating for?" Upon hearing the figure's shout, the Second Elder was immediately invigorated and raised his voice to rebuke.
"Seventh Elder?" Tongxuan exclaimed again upon seeing the figure.
However, as the Second Elder's voice fell, the powerful figures who had arrived with Lang Shuai looked at each other for a while, and then slowly began to move towards the circle surrounding Lang Shuai.
"Lord Lang, the situation within the clan is now settled. The Zhang Huang clan is a thing of the past. We had no choice but to leave. There are still many clansmen who need to be protected. Please leave the Huang clan, Lord Lang!" A powerful leader called out to Commander Lang from outside the battle circle.
"Shi Yuan? Could it be that dung beetle powerhouse?" Wang Yao pondered for a moment and made a judgment in his mind. The Second Elder and Lang Ren must have gathered a group of powerful figures in the clan in advance and, after careful planning, deliberately provoked a war between the Zhanghuang Clan and the Yi Clan.
Then, taking advantage of the chaos, they launched a surprise attack from behind, killing Lang Shuai's confidants who were focused on fighting the Yi tribe. Caught off guard, all of Lang Shuai's trusted powerful figures and others considered inferior were either killed in the battle with the Yi tribe or taken advantage of the chaos by these guys.
At this moment, Commander Lang was indeed all alone. The powerful figures who had accompanied him were clearly a group of neutral members of their clan. The fact that they had simply watched from the sidelines while Commander Lang fought alone was enough to explain the situation.
