C466 Crisis
This immediately scared all the major powers, including the Nangong and Beitang Clan's disciples. Although they were all part of the Four Great Families of the Sky Dynasty and there was not much of a difference in their strength, if the Xi Men Ancestor were to kill them, the clan elders would not be able to protect them. No, the elders who came with them would be in danger.0
Under the gaze of the Ximen Imperial Clan's Ancestor, many elders and disciples of their clans began to break out in cold sweat. They were deeply afraid that the Ximen Imperial Clan would start a massacre.
"The Nangong Clan, the Beitang Clan?" The Ximen Imperial Clan's Ancestor coldly asked as he caught sight of the clothes of the two great clans.
"Beitang Clan's Beitang Feng greets Ancestor Xi Men." One must know, the Old Xi Men Clan was a top expert like their Old Ancestor. Their strength was slightly higher than their Old Ancestor, so naturally, they could not offend them. Moreover, the personality of the Old Xi Men was fickle, if they were to offend him, even taking your life could be fine.
"Second Elder Nangong Liuyun pays his respects to the Ximen Imperial Clan's Ancestor." Beitang Feng's reply instantly roused Nangong Liuyun. Like Beitang Feng, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, deeply afraid of angering the Ximen Imperial Clan's Ancestor.
"They are indeed the two cowardly descendants of Nangong and Beitang." The Ximen Imperial Clan's Ancestor coldly sneered when he heard their words. Then, he stared at them with a cold gaze and said,
"This time, did you come because you want to see a joke about our Ximen Family or because you want to earn some money?"
Hearing the Ximen Imperial Clan's Ancestor insulting their ancestor as a coward, Beitang Feng and Nangong Liuyun couldn't help but smile bitterly in embarrassment. However, they did not dare to refute him.
The Dongfang family had sent out their clan's number two expert to fight because of their ancestor's isolation. However, they were heavily injured by their ancestor, the ancestor of the Beitang family and the ancestor of the Nangong family saw that the ancestor was sick, so it was inconvenient for him to fight. The ancestor of the Ximen family was displeased and scolded him right in front of their family's gate, because the word 'scaredy' had become taboo for the Beitang family and the Nangong family. No one in the family dared to mention him, or else they would be dealt with according to family law.
In fact, it was not the fault of the two forefathers that they did not accept the challenge. The main reason was that in the past, the power of the Xi Men family's head had reached the peak, and there were almost no rivals in the Sky Dynasty. Even the fourth placed Dongfang Haotian had been defeated, and the probability of them being defeated was very high.
Of course, this was many years ago. Now that they were suddenly reminded of the past, the faces of the people from the Beitang Clan and the Nangong Clan were naturally unsightly. After all, that was an embarrassing matter for their clans.
Not many people knew about the Ximen Family's arranged battle back then. Now that the Ximen Imperial Clan's ancestor mentioned it again before the crowd, the various powers behind them all had very interesting and wonderful expressions. Some were shocked, some were surprised, and all were full of surprise … No one had expected the four great families to have such history, especially the Beitang and Nangong Families. It was likely that after today's events, the prestige of the two great families would be greatly reduced.
However, a big family was still a big family, and such a small matter was not enough for them. Beitang Feng quickly recovered and said seriously to the Ximen family's ancestor:
"We are here on the orders of the ancestor. Let's see if the ancestor needs our Beitang Clan's help."
"Our Nangong Family is the same." The Second Elder, Nangong Liuyun, said from the side.
However, what the two of them said and thought were different. They did indeed come under the order of the ancestor, but they were not here to help the Ximen Family. They were here to see if their Ximen Family was running out, to rush over, and divide up the Ximen Family's resources and territory.
Great clans may look like they are on the surface, but in truth, there were definitely undercurrents in the mainland that would not let anyone off, as everyone wanted to make sure that their opponent was dead meat, since resources were limited, and if one wanted to develop their clan better, they had to snatch the resources of other clans. However, small clans like the Nan Gong Family and the Beitang Family did not even care about such a thing, so when they heard that someone had attacked them, the two great clans hastily gathered people to rush to Ximen Family, to see if they could benefit from it.
"It's also about helping Ximen Family. If those two scumbags from your family had such good intentions, even the heavens would be moved to tears." The Ximen Imperial Clan's Ancestor knew what their plans were. They didn't even have a chance to snatch the Ximen Family's resources, and as long as this old man was here, their Ximen Family would not be lacking at all.
Just as Beitang Feng and Nangong Liuyun were at a loss for words, a small team was slowly moving toward the Ximen family's ancestor. It seemed like they wanted to quietly approach him.
However, although their movements were light, they were still discovered by the Ximen Imperial Clan's Ancestor. When they were ten meters away from the Ximen Imperial Clan's Ancestor, a pair of ice-cold eyes turned to them.
"What are you guys doing?"
