Chapter 24: The Beginning of the Decisive Battle

The first battle in the Lin family's manor finally came to an end. And this battle ended with more than half of the casualties of the Lin family and the Ji family, plus the two strong men Ji Kongsi and Situ Ming fell at the same time, becoming the most tragic and most costly war in hundreds of years.

As for the other families who have not yet shown up, after learning the outcome of the first battle, in addition to sighing at the tragedy of the battle, it is more about the joy of this lose-lose ending.

In their opinion, among the four most powerful families now, the Situ family and the Ji family have lost their former iron-fisted family masters, and the Lin family and the Ji family have to recuperate due to heavy casualties. Therefore, many families have begun to secretly gather forces, wanting to get a piece of the pie in the plundering of power. And the ambitious people are even more eyeing the foundation of the four major families, because there must be many priceless treasures and ancient secrets in these thousand-year-old families.

However, there is another person that makes them jealous, and that is Xia Yige, who has just become an astrologer. They knew that astrologers had the power to predict the future, and that before every war in the past, many families had to bring in astrologers to ask them about their good fortune.

Although prophecy is only prophecy after all, the wars of the millennium have confirmed that the family valued by astrologers can always be the one who makes the most profits. At the very least, this shows that the astrologer's prophetic art is true.

Although the prophecy has been broken sometimes, that little change is really insignificant in the face of the huge flood of time. And it is known that the final outcome of the war, the mysterious astrologer has long known.

Therefore, when Xia Yige formulated the rules of the decisive battle in the name of astrologers, although many people were puzzled, they saw that the four major families unanimously agreed, so no small family dared to stand up and question or oppose it.

The rules set by Xia Yige were to prohibit all large-scale battles, and as for those families with grudges or families who wanted to participate in the war, each family could send up to two of the strongest people to fight against each other within ten days at the peak of Juyun Peak, the main peak of the Yun family. The family represented by the winner of the battle can absolutely control half of the financial and human resources of the defeated family's family without harming human life, until the next war begins in an unknown amount of time.

As for the opponent of the battle, based on the combatants, each family has a chance to directly choose the opponent, and the chosen side cannot refuse. After this opportunity is exhausted, among those winners, only two families can give each other permission to fight.

This would undoubtedly minimize the losses of the war, and the benefits of the victors would be enough to make the hearts of the families happy. Although the side of the vanquished will suffer a lot of losses, it is well known that if you want to get more, you need to take more risks. And for those families who have grudges and grudges, it is completely enough to have a chance to choose an opponent directly.

This rule formulated by Xia Yige is well thought out. Because he knew that the current Ji Qingyun had personally felt the cruelty of the war, coupled with the death of Ji Kongxi and the large number of casualties of the Ji family, the Ji family he represented had to agree to this rule. And of course the Situ family and the Lin family will agree. The only surprise was that the Yun family actually gave up its own manpower advantage and also recognized this rule. Although it was conditional that the decisive battle would be held at the summit of Juyun Peak, this was completely acceptable to Xia Yige and them.

In this way, all the families have accepted this rule. As for those weak families who do not have a greedy heart, they can choose not to participate, so that they will not have any losses, and it can be said that everyone is happy.

Now that the families participating in the war have been revealed, the larger families include the Murong family, the Xuanyuan family, the Zhongzhou Wang family and the Southwest Mo family, etc., and the grievances and grievances between them can be resolved in this kind of small-scale battle, and their ambitions can also be realized here. This kind of rule is extremely fair, so that everyone recognizes this generation of astrologers.

I guess it was foreseen that the astrologer would use this method to reduce casualties. This kind of rule has won the favor of many families, especially those who are weak and give up participating in the war. Because in previous wars, they would always be reduced to fish slaughtered by others, so they were extremely grateful to Xia Yige for making this unprecedented rule.

And under the desperate insistence of Situ Ming, who learned that his father died at the hands of Yun Yukong and had been in a state of rage, Xia Yige reluctantly formed a group with him and declared war against the strongest combination of Yun Yukong and Yun Feng of the Yun family. The spread of this news made almost everyone in the family stunned!

What's even more surprising is that almost at the same moment, the Yun family also used up the only opportunity to choose an opponent, and it turned out to be Situ Xingxuan and them! The Yun family's approach made it clear that it was with the Situ family to the end. As for the opportunity to choose independently, the Yun family didn't seem to be interested.

The people of these families could not have imagined that this young astrologer would participate in the exhibition, and together with the equally young Situ Xingxuan, he would challenge the strongest and most terrifying Yun family combination among everyone!

But surprise is surprise, they are more joyful, because in their eyes, the most tricky Yun family will no longer choose their own family to operate, but boldly choose the team of astrologers, that is, the team of the Situ family.

Finally, in the anticipation of everyone, this ultimate war has begun. At this moment, many powerhouses are ready to fight in Juyun Peak, ready to participate in this final battle.

The final outcome will depend on this battle!
