Chapter 44: A Crime of Not War

The battle on the eastern side of the valley undoubtedly attracted the attention of the monks from the other three directions. However, what frightened the monks of the Ni family was that the monks from the other three directions did not come to support for a long time! In other words, the monks of the other three families chose the strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight!

Originally, in the agreement of the four major families of Sifang City, it was to attack the Throat Valley tonight. But the current situation is that before they have time to attack the Gullythroat Valley, the monks in the Gulf of Frogthroat have taken the initiative to attack!

If the Ni family hadn't suffered huge battle losses in the daytime battle, the three major families in the other three directions might have rushed to "support" in a hurry. After all, the other three families didn't want to see the Ni family eat the holy weapon alone. However, after the battle during the day, the four major families already had enough understanding of the strength of the dragon group! Finding that the strength of the dragon group was definitely not weaker than any of the four major families, the four major families of the four great families in Sifang City encountered a very embarrassing situation. It is precisely because of this that the four major families will choose to attack in the dark night. In their opinion, an attack in the dark can dodge mortar shells, rockets and other bombs. But things once again exceeded their expectations, and the Dragon Group Monks, who originally thought that they could only be beaten passively, actually took the initiative to attack! Not only that, but even the peripheral cannon fodder monks of the Dragon Group Monks actually faintly mobilized the power of the realm! This force was too terrifying!

In the face of the cannon fodder monks with fierce attack momentum, the monks of the other three major families of the four major families all slowed down the speed of support, wanting to wait for the Ni family monks to discuss the situation before making a choice. In that way, they would have one less competitor, and even if they failed to capture the treasure, they could get back the losses from the Ni family, whose strength in Sifang City had been greatly damaged.

On the hill on the east side of the Throat Valley, the dragon group that occupied the commanding heights did not appear in the four-sided siege that it had expected. Under the vision of flying spirit beasts with night vision such as owls, the monks of the dragon group were pleasantly surprised and quickly understood the intentions of the monks of the three families of Ma, Le, and Bi! Although few people were able to make accurate predictions, hindsight analysis was not difficult. Combined with the rivalry between the four major families of the Four Directions City, the monks immediately realized the favorable opportunity to break through one by one!

Right now, the dragon group has not really gained strength, and the monks of the two major branches of the Blue Dragon and White Tiger alone have already entered a state of stalemate with the monks of the Ni family!

The most important thing is that the two Blue Dragons and White Tigers, which attacked from both sides like two crab claws, greatly weakened the long-range attacks from the Ni family monks with vaguely mobilized domain forces!

Looking down from the sky, this round of attacks by the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, and the Ni Family Monk was like two giant pincers fiercely embedded in a wall that was waiting for them. In the face of the strange and unimaginable group charges from the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger, in the face of the various state amplifications and spiritual ray assistance from the Yin and Yang Spheres in mid-air, and in the face of the cannonballs that came roaring again and again, aiming directly at the rear of their own large array, the monks of the Ni family met the fierce attack like a storm in isolation.

The attack of the two cannon fodder monks of the Qinglong and White Tiger alone had already made the monks of the Ni family feel a huge pressure, if the two monks of the Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu in the rear rushed up to attack again, how should the monks of the Ni family deal with it? What's more, the dragon group with the strongest combat power has always maintained a terrifying state of being ready to attack until now!

"Damn, don't blame me for being unrighteous if you're unkind! If you want to sit back and watch our Ni family be destroyed, but you profit from it, you can't help but think too beautiful!" In the face of the enemy whose combat strength has inexplicably increased by several grades, Ni Tai, the head of the Ni family, has not only horror and horror on his face, but also resentment and hatred! Seeing that the two monks of the Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu are about to attack from behind the wings and completely swallow their own lineage, Ni Tai hissed and gave the latest order, " The elder group and the disciples will stay behind to block the enemy, and the family lineage will quickly withdraw to the Sifang City, and make trouble for me before the other three major family lineages return to the Sifang City! If our Ni family must be greatly injured by this, we can't let the other three families feel better! If there is a huge disparity in strength, they will unite to annex our Ni family!"

"Obey!" More than thirty Ni family elders who were more than half a hundred years old hissed in response, urging their sons and nephews to quickly evacuate with tears in their eyes under the order of the head of the family.

Zuo Zhe originally thought that the Ni family would fight to the death to the last person. In that case, relying solely on the two monks of the Qinglong and White Tiger divisions would not be able to defeat the monks of the Ni family. If the Ni family fights to the death and does not retreat, Jiazi can only order the two departments of Suzaku and Xuanwu to go to support. With the full attack of more than 400 monks from the four major divisions of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, and with the dragon group in the rear blessing state and auxiliary attack, the Ni family is doomed to failure.

But what Zuo Zhe originally thought was a bitter battle has undergone a huge change. Among the monks of the Ni family, there were nearly 200 monks who quickly retreated in the direction they came! What was even more beyond Zuo Zhe's expectation was that after losing more than half of the monks, the remaining 100-odd monks were not defeated by the two tribes of the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger, but instead burst out with stronger combat power, which in turn suppressed the fanatical attacks of the two monks of the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger! If it weren't for the fact that the monks of the Green Dragon and the White Tiger mobilized the power of the realm between heaven and earth, they would not have been able to withstand the powerful counterattack of those monks at all!

"Rush out of the Sealing Spirit Circle area!" With Jiazi's order, the dragon group that was originally supporting in the rear immediately put away the domain power that was maintained, and under the leadership of the two monks of Suzaku and Xuanwu, they pressed down the hillside in an inverted triangle formation!

"There's no need to fight with them, let's retreat!" Finding that the expected tactics of Suzaku and Xuanwu to surround the rear were not implemented, the head of the Ni family, who was already preparing to die here, rekindled his will to survive. Under Ni Tai's order, the remaining more than 100 Ni family monks no longer fought to the death with the two monks of Qinglong and White Tiger, who did not want to attack fiercely, but retreated in the direction of Bijia in the north of the valley. Among the four major families in Sifang City, the strength of the Bi family is relatively the weakest. If the monks of the Ni family lured the enemy to the area where the monks of the Bi family were located, the monks of the Bi family had to choose to cooperate with the monks of the Ni family because of their lack of strength. If the monks of the Ni family dared to gather towards the Ma family in the south, the monks of the Ni family might be captured by the monks of the Ma family!

As expected, as soon as the Ni family monks retreated, the two monks of the Qinglong and White Tiger tribes immediately chased after them. However, the Suzaku, Xuanwu, and Motobu Dragon Groups, who were following behind the Green Dragon and White Tiger, did not catch up, but rushed towards the Spirit Sealing Array on the outskirts of the valley!

The battle song of "The Wrath of the Dragon Maiden" in the ears of the monks of the two parts of the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger has come to an end, but the fighting spirit of the monks of the two parts is still extremely high! It is precisely because of this that the monks of these two parts ignored the orders from Jiazi! Compared with supporting the monks of these two parts, the most urgent thing for the monks of the Dragon Group is undoubtedly to break out of the enveloping range of the Spirit Sealing Array, mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to quickly recover their spiritual power that has to be slowly recovered by using the Replenishing Spirit Pill!

After quickly rushing out of the enveloping range of the Spirit Sealing Array, the Dragon Group monks quickly stopped. With the stunned Qing Ge Da who held the holy weapon high with both hands, he stopped running, and the little dragon girl as the core realm was re-supported. Almost at the same time, between the heavens and the earth on the periphery of the realm, tornadoes quickly appeared, attracting heaven and earth aura from all directions!

With an unimaginable speed, most of the spiritual power consumed in the body was restored, and the monks of the Dragon Group, under the command of Jiazi, destroyed the remaining Spirit Sealing Array along the way, and rushed towards the two monks of the Blue Dragon and White Tiger who had already been fighting with the Bi family monks in the south.

"Is this going to be broken one by one?" The defeat of the Ni family monks made the monks of the other three major families in Sifang City feel a little bad. They originally wanted to use the Ni family monks as a litmus test, but the Ni family did not act according to the script they gave. Without figuring out the true strength of the Dragon Group, the monks of the three major families of Ma, Le, and Bi immediately fell into a dilemma. If they continue to fight against the dragons whose strength is unknown, even if they win, they are likely to lose both sides of the battle with the dragons. But if they just retreated, they didn't want to miss out on the treasure. Although after returning to Sifang City, the three major families of Ma, Le, and Bi can go further by encroaching on the Ni family's property, where can it be attractive to directly obtain treasure?

"To fight or not to fight? If you don't give me an accurate answer right away, then I'm going to retreat!"

"It's really unwilling to retreat like this, we have to fight!"

"That's right, we have to fight!" the head of the Le family echoed.

"Alright, as soon as possible, we're about to run out of it!" the head of the Bi family reminded.

"Your Excellency, this attack was completely done by the Ni family, and our Ma, Le, and Bi families were completely coerced! Why don't we strike the war?" Soon, Ma Yao, the head of the Ma family, sent a request for an armistice from afar to Zuo Zhe's side.

Zuo Zhe didn't expect the three major families to be cowardly. Not only that, but the monks of the Bi family also besieged the monks of the Ni family, looking like they wanted to eat the elite of the Ni family!

"If you don't dislike it, we are willing to give part of the Ni family's property in Sifang City to your ministry. "With the rapid arrival of the monks of the Ma and Le families, the defensive circle against the monks of the Ni family is becoming thicker and thicker. In the face of a strong lineup of more than 800 monks, even if the dragon group can defeat a strong enemy head-on, it will be difficult to defeat it or even destroy it because the domain forces do not support mobile combat.

The brows were furrowed tightly, and in Jiazi's plan, he was ready to make a big fuss. For this reason, Jiazi is ready to die in battle. After all, Jiazi's lifespan is less than a year, and Jiazi is also very distrustful of Zuo Zhe's surgical plan. In Jiazi's inherent concept, people are not pigs, they can be put on the board and cut at will!

But now, the four major families of Sifang City have actually chosen to compromise! Jiazi felt a strong conspiracy flavor from the compromise of the three major families, but Jiazi couldn't guess what the specific conspiracy was for a while!
