Chapter 2597 Why Fight?
"Gentlemen, we can no longer stay in the city. Our restaurant will be closing down. Please hurry and leave the city!"
Inside the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, the manager began clearing out the guests, including Zhen Tian and Su Chen.
Zuixianlou was more responsible, letting its guests evacuate first. Other restaurants, on the other hand, had already had their managers and waiters run away.
When gods fight, mortals suffer. If these weaklings don't hurry to escape, once the battle begins, they may not be able to leave.
No matter what business you do or how much money you make, without life, it's all for nothing.
The people inside the city began to flee frantically out of the city, fearing that if they were too slow, they would be left behind.
The shadow of war loomed over the entire city. Apart from behemoths like the Wang and Zhang families who remained untouched, Li Yan and his group of Li family members also quickly left the city.
In less than five minutes, everyone in the city had been evacuated.
Inside the Shenwu Sect's headquarters.
Liang Xia's face was also extremely gloomy. He did not expect Liu Min to be so crazy as to issue a war order to their Divine Martial Sect in public.
This is forcing him to make a choice.
However, Liang Xia wasn't easily intimidated. Since the Liu family wanted to play this game, he would play along.
The Divine Martial Sect's achievements today are all the result of hard work and fighting.
"Shangwu, assemble the members immediately and prepare for battle!" Liang Xia directly gave the order to Elder Shangwu.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the sect leader's voice, Shangwu dared not delay and immediately took action.
"This has blown up..."
Not far away, Qin Fei hadn't expected that these two powerful forces would start a war because of him. Everyone knew that once a war broke out, there would inevitably be bloodshed and death.
Is the Divine Martial Sect originally at odds with the Liu family, or is it simply because Liang Xia wants to protect himself?
Things had developed to this point, and even Qin Fei, with his sharp mind, was somewhat unable to grasp it.
He didn't know why Liang Xia did this, nor did he understand what he was thinking.
According to normal thinking, if the Liu family really wanted to go to war with the Divine Martial Sect, the most rational choice for the Divine Martial Sect would be to hand over Liu's family.
After all, how could someone as insignificant as himself possibly compare to the lives of countless disciples of the Divine Martial Sect?
But now Liang Xia has personally given his men the order to fight, it seems he is really preparing for a big battle with the Liu family.
"Master, do you know what you're doing?"
Just as Liang Xia gave the order, Jing Mo, the Holy Maiden of the Divine Martial Sect, rushed out of her residence and went straight to Liang Xia to ask questions.
“Of course I know what I’m doing,” Liang Xia nodded.
"You're actually willing to risk our entire Divine Martial Sect just for that bastard?"
"Have you lost your mind?"
Jing Mo's words were quite harsh, as they were tantamount to cursing Liang Xia to her face. If anyone else had spoken to Liang Xia like that, Liang Xia might have slapped them to death.
But Jing Mo was different; he was Liang Xia's only disciple, and with his outstanding talent, he was deeply loved by Liang Xia.
So even though the other party was a bit rude, Liang Xia ultimately had to swallow his pride and admit it. He said, "I make all decisions after careful consideration, so there's no need to discuss this matter. As the Holy Maiden of my Divine Martial Sect, you must participate in this battle. Your only task is to keep a close eye on that Liu Wen!"
"If there's a chance, send him on his way!"
Liang Xia is the sect leader of the Divine Martial Sect, and decisiveness in killing is all too common in someone like him.
In a normal battle, both sides would tacitly agree to stop when the other side is defeated. However, if the Liu family were to launch a desperate attack on the Divine Martial Sect, then the two sides would be locked in a life-or-death struggle.
In this situation, showing mercy to the enemy is the greatest cruelty to oneself. Jing Mo had the opportunity to directly kill Liu Wen.
The Liu family now considers Qin Fei a major threat, but for the Divine Martial Sect, Liu Wen is also a threat. If they can eliminate him, it would be equivalent to cutting off a future powerhouse of the Liu family.
This is also a great achievement.
“Master, if the sect is in trouble, I will do my best to help, but before that, I still have a question I want to ask you.”
"You want to ask about that kid, right?" Liang Xia was a smart man, and he had already figured out what Jing Mo wanted to ask.
"Yes!" Jing Mo nodded: "When you first brought him back, I really thought he was going to kill him to avenge the Third Elder, but you first abandoned the Evergreen Lamp, and then you protected him."
"Now you're even willing to turn against the Liu family for him. I want to ask you, what exactly is your relationship with him?"
There are already many people in the sect spreading rumors that Qin Fei might be the sect leader's illegitimate son. Jing Mo didn't believe it at first because she knew that her master had never married, let alone had children.
But if it's an illegitimate child, then it's still possible.
After all, who knows what romantic entanglements Liang Xia might have had when she was young and out there?
Now that Master is going to war with the Liu family to protect Qin Fei, disregarding the safety of the entire Divine Martial Sect, if Qin Fei and Master don't have any special relationship, Jing Mo would never believe it even if you beat her to death.
Others wouldn't dare ask Liang Xia these things to her face, but she did!
“First of all, I didn’t give up on Changqingdeng; you lost to him yourself. Secondly, I don’t have any special relationship with this kid,” Liang Xia replied.
"impossible!"
Jing Mo shook his head: "Master, things have already come to this point. If you continue to hide the truth, it will only harm those of us who are unaware of the facts. I think it is very necessary for you to explain the matter concerning Qin Fei to us. Otherwise, once the battle begins, everyone may be uncertain!"
"If we don't even know why we're fighting, do you think we have any hope of winning this battle?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Xia's expression immediately turned quite serious.
Indeed, he could force everyone in the Divine Martial Sect to participate in the war by virtue of his status as sect leader, but the psychology of those who participated was also a major problem.
Jing Mo is right. If a person doesn't even know why they are fighting, will they still go all out?
If the Liu family launches a full-scale, aggressive attack, it will be fine if the Divine Martial Sect manages to hold them off. However, if they fail to do so, a one-sided rout is highly likely. Even if the Divine Martial Sect is not completely destroyed, it will certainly suffer heavy losses.
Thinking of this, Liang Xia immediately summoned Shang Wu: "Pass down the order, all elders assemble immediately."
"Yes!" Shangwu accepted the order and immediately went to prepare.
"Didn't you want to know why we're fighting?"
"You should come along later," Liang Xia said to Jing Mo.
After saying that, Liang Xia seemed to have thought of something else and said to Jing Mo, "Go and call Qin Fei to the council hall now. He also wants to attend the meeting."
"he?"
Upon hearing Qin Fei's name, Jing Mo's eyes immediately turned noticeably colder.
Qin Fei had taken advantage of her before, almost seeing her naked. Now, whenever she sees Qin Fei, she wants to strangle him to death. Her master even told her to go and call for help. Doesn't he know that she and Qin Fei are now like oil and water?
“Since the matter was caused by him, he, as the person involved, should naturally be present and go call for help immediately.”
After saying that, Liang Xia disappeared from the spot in a flash, heading to find those hidden experts of the Divine Martial Sect.
Seeing that her master had disappeared, Jing Mo didn't want to see Qin Fei, but since her master had already given her orders, she could only stomp her feet and run to find Qin Fei.
In Liang Xia's secret cultivation chamber, Qin Fei resumed his cultivation. After all, no matter what happened outside, as long as no one came to kill him, he could cultivate in peace.
Since he's not going out of the Divine Martial Sect anyway, why should he waste his energy?
"Hey, my master wants you to come and attend our sect's council meeting."
Upon entering his master's cultivation chamber, Jing Mo immediately spotted Qin Fei sitting calmly and composed on a meditation cushion.
"What the hell? Don't I have a name?" Hearing the sound, Qin Fei opened his eyes and immediately retorted to Jing Mo.
"you……."
Upon hearing Qin Fei's voice, a surge of anger instantly welled up in Jing Mo's heart, and she could already feel her fists itching.
However, remembering what her master had said earlier, she could only suppress her anger, because Qin Fei was going to attend the conference, and if she hurt him now, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.
"Your master is willing to go to war with the Liu family for your sake. He may announce the relationship between you and him at the conference. If you don't want to know the inside story, you don't have to come."
After saying this, Jing Mo turned and left.
She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to resist making a move on Qin Fei, because she had just seen Qin Fei's gaze unconsciously linger on her chest, which made her somewhat embarrassed and angry.
"Announce our relationship?"
Qin Fei's face showed a thoughtful expression, and then he decisively ended his cultivation and stood up from the cultivation futon.
To be honest, Qin Fei now has serious doubts about his relationship with Liang Xia. After he was arrested, Liang Xia did not interrogate him too much or torture him.
This was definitely abnormal in Qin Fei's eyes, so he was actually wondering if Liang Xia had other intentions towards him.
Now, Jing Mo's words have given Qin Fei even more room for imagination.
He knew he definitely didn't know Liang Xia; in fact, they were from two different worlds. If there was any connection between them, it was definitely between Liang Xia and his master, the God of Wine.
Qin Fei couldn't think of any other reason besides that.
Since they're calling him to attend the conference, Qin Fei, in order to find out the real reason, will definitely go.
When Qin Fei came out of Liang Xia's cultivation chamber, no one stopped him this time. Moreover, he could see that the entire Divine Martial Sect was filled with a suffocating and murderous atmosphere.
It's like a volcano with a lid on, ready to erupt at any moment.
Even Qin Fei now doubts whether he can leave the Divine Martial Sect openly and honestly.
However, Qin Fei immediately dismissed this thought as soon as he glanced outside the Divine Martial Sect.
The powerful members of the Liu family are currently gathering frantically outside the Divine Martial Sect. If Qin Fei dares to step out of the Divine Martial Sect at this time, he will probably become a prisoner of the Liu family and suffer a fate worse than death!
