Jiang Zhuoshi and Shen Heilong sought to arrange a marriage alliance between their clans' descendants, Xu Zimei and Shen Baizhi, and the Heaven and Earth Clan. They hoped to gain favor with the Old Lady and pave the way for their clans' return. However, He Lingfeng, a descendant of the Old Lady, challenged the two, proposing a duel. The Old Lady agreed, setting the stakes: victory meant entry into the Heaven and Earth Clan with a bloodline cleansing, while defeat would nullify all their efforts.

The young men and women discussed fervently, feeling regretful for not seizing the opportunity, letting He Lingfeng take the lead, each one filled with remorse.

But He Lingfeng was quite pleased with himself.

As for why he suddenly stood out.

Actually, he didn't have any animosity with the Xuntian Clan.

Just moments ago, the Old Lady sent him a message, telling him to initiate and test the opposition.

Yes, it was the Old Lady who transmitted the order to him.

Although He Lingfeng didn't understand the intention behind her actions.

But since she asked, he had no choice but to comply.

However, in He Lingfeng's view, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

After all, as long as he followed the Old Lady's command, there would be benefits for him later.

Even though they all were descendants of the Old Lady, having some familial ties.

In fact, such connections were far from sufficient.

Firstly, the Old Lady had many descendants and wouldn't favor anyone excessively.

Secondly, the competition within the Heaven and Earth Clan was fierce; He Lingfeng needed support to rise.

If the Old Lady supported him, he would be able to act freely in many matters.

Thus, this time, He Lingfeng stood out, determined to perform well in front of the Old Lady.

...…

"Rui'er, Zhi'er, this matter is rather troublesome."

Jiang Zhuoshi and Jiang Shoutian called Xu Zimei and Shen Baizhi aside.

They hadn't expected things to come to this.

But facing the Old Lady, they had no choice.

"If you lose this match, all our planning will be meaningless."

Jiang Shoutian said.

"This battle can only be won, not lost."

Hearing Jiang Shoutian's resolute tone, Shen Baizhi was not intimidated.

Instead, she said directly, "You saying we can win is useless; we don't even know the opponent's strength.

Who can guarantee a sure win?"

"You..." Jiang Shoutian was slightly displeased at Shen Baizhi's attitude.

But Jiang Zhuoshi intervened.

Said, "That little girl from the Shen Family is still reasonable."

"Are people from the Heaven and Earth Clan simple?"

"Then what to do, we can't let all our efforts go to waste," Jiang Shoutian said.

At this point, Jiang Zhuoshi squinted slightly.

He took out two black pills.

The pills exuded a heavy Evil Qi.

Inside, even gave off a crimson glow.

Seeing the pills, Shen Heilong's face changed.

Suddenly said, "Old Ghost Jiang, are you mad? Do you want to ruin these two?"

"Someone has to sacrifice, right?"

Jiang Zhuoshi said calmly.

"If they don't sacrifice, then the family must sacrifice. Which will you choose?"

Shen Heilong fell silent immediately.

At this point, Jiang Zhuoshi looked at Xu Zimei and Shen Baizhi.

He said, "These are Mad Demon Pills; once consumed, all your potential will be unleashed."

"It can magnify your strength a hundredfold or even a thousandfold."

"What's the cost?" Xu Zimei asked.

Pills like this promising such extraordinary enhancement couldn't be harmless.

Otherwise, such pills would have been snatched away long ago.

"Life," Jiang Zhuoshi said bluntly.

"After taking the pill, all your vital energy and strength will be drained."

"From then on, you will be reduced to a cripple."

Actually, what Jiang Zhuoshi described was already the best outcome.

Such pills could even end lives.

Upon hearing this, Shen Baizhi stepped back a few paces.

She was clearly frightened as well.

"Honestly, if you don't take these pills and fight normally, you can't be his match."

"I've seen He Lingfeng; he may already be on the path of Enlightenment, and combined with the pure bloodline of the Heaven and Earth Clan, you're sure to lose."

Jiang Zhuoshi explained.

"If you lose, all our planning and efforts will be for naught."

"Thereafter, it would be nearly impossible for our clans to join the Heaven and Earth Clan again."

"So the result of this match is not just your wedding but the fate of tens of thousands from our two families."

"Rui'er, I beg you as a father," Jiang Shoutian spoke up.

"Sacrificing one can save our entire race."

"Don't worry, if this succeeds, the position of Clan Leader will be yours."

Xu Zimei chuckled, observing the expressions of these people.

Really thinks he's a naive child?

The Clan Leader position.

Can a cripple be a Clan Leader?

Once used, he would be discarded like trash.

After all, a cripple has no utility.

However, this wasn't important to Xu Zimei.

Because he wasn't Jiang Rui.

Defeating He Lingfeng didn't seem to require any pills.

This was an easy task.

But Xu Zimei did not want the matter to end so simply.

After all, none of these people were good.

So he said, "What if I defeat He Lingfeng without taking the pill?"

Everyone was stunned by his words.

"Rui'er, now is not the time to joke," Jiang Shoutian quickly said.

He knew his son was deeply skilled.

But He Lingfeng was from the Heaven and Earth Clan!

The opponent wouldn't be easy to handle.

"I'm serious, if I do it, how will you reward me?"

Xu Zimei asked.

"Don't offer me the Clan Leader position as a reward; I don't need it."

Knowing Jiang Shoutian was still alive, the position couldn't be given to him immediately.

He didn't care for such empty promises.

"As long as you win this battle, we can fulfill any request you have."

Jiang Zhuoshi spoke firmly.

"Yes, we can fulfill it too," Shen Heilong, representing the Zhou Di Clan, also expressed support.

Xu Zimei squinted slightly.

He smiled, "I want to know the secret of the back mountain."

His words made everyone's face change slightly.

"The back mountain, what do you know?"

Jiang Zhuoshi instantly became vigilant.

The matter concerning the back mountain was known only to these high-ranking members.

Outside people didn't know, even many within the Xuntian and Zhou Di clans were unaware.

Xu Zimei wasn't afraid of their suspicion.

Because it was they who needed him now.

It wasn't him who needed them.

Xu Zimei then smiled and said, "Did you think you kept it secret?"

"In reality, the noise was so loud that many people knew; they just didn't investigate deeply."

"To fight for the family, at least the family shouldn't hide from me and should be open with me."

"If you feel you can't tell me, then find someone else for this competition."

Xu Zimei's words were akin to blocking all their escape routes.
