Chapter 218: All Parties Gather

The battle continued, but the situation was overwhelmingly one-sided, much to everyone’s surprise. There were many skilled fighters present—warriors at the advanced divine level? That was nothing! It wasn’t even notable.

It was obvious to anyone with eyes that both sides had super-divine-level strongmen. On Rod’s side was that mysterious middle-aged man, while Lord Nash from the Nash family naturally couldn’t hide his identity. Additionally, the Nash family sent a warrior at the peak of the intermediate divine level and one at the advanced divine level. On Rod’s side, there were only two warriors at the intermediate divine level.

It seemed that the Nash family had the upper hand, but the outcome was truly surprising—at least it caused great pain to the Nash family. Lord Nash, who had been most confident, was now in a desperate situation, being toyed with like a rat by Melon’s subordinates, utterly humiliated! What was even more surprising was that the two fighters with such a large rank difference should have been defeated step by step by Rod and another middle-aged man under the Nash family’s two elders. Yet in the end, Rod and that middle-aged man performed exceptionally well, forcing the two Nash elders to suffer without gaining any advantage. Jealous and mocking looks were all directed at the Nash family patriarch, who remained silent in the background.

“Attack!” Seeing their situation deteriorate, the Nash family patriarch grew anxious and shouted loudly. His identity had been exposed—his attempts to hide it had failed! Since that was the case, he might as well go all out; otherwise, he would truly be treated as a laughingstock.

The streets were in ruins, a sight too gruesome to bear. The guards of Wuyou City had arrived at the scene, but they were powerless against battles of this scale.

Especially after the Nash family patriarch gave the order, his men, who had been prepared in advance, rushed forward like wolves and tigers, turning the battle into a chaotic mess.

With the Nash family’s involvement, the situation gradually stabilized, and they regained some advantage. At this point, Zi Yi Lei Ying and the Fiers family exchanged complex looks, seemingly discussing something among themselves.

Distant footsteps could be heard—a group of people was rushing toward them like wolves and tigers, with fierce expressions, as if determined to kill everyone.

At the forefront was a woman of breathtaking beauty. Even the darkness of night couldn’t conceal her exquisite features, adding a sense of mystery that made people feel utterly enchanted.

“Brother Rod!” Just as everyone was wondering which faction these people belonged to and what they were doing here, the woman’s cry instantly made things clear to everyone.
Immediately, the head of the Nash family’s expression changed drastically—it turned out she was a member of the demon race’s opposition royal family, Princess Aida. It went without saying that she had come to help Rod and his group.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and act! If my Nash family is destroyed, you won’t get off easy!” Looking at the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagles standing by silently, the Nash family’s leader shouted loudly. He could no longer hold back; these guys, who usually called each other brothers and fought side by side, now simply left him behind. With the situation so critical, they didn’t even bother to inform him.
“Very well! Go ahead and stop Princess Aida!” With a sigh, the leader of the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagles spoke in mixed emotions. Rod—this guy he had fought against before and suffered a heavy loss to—was facing him again, stirring up turbulent emotions in his heart.
As soon as he finished speaking, over a dozen Purple-Winged Thunder Eagles stepped in front of Aida, blocking her path.
“What, you want to fight?” Aida asked coldly, staring at the elder.
She had long known about the battle here. If it weren’t for Eileen and the elders in her clan stopping her, she would have brought her people here to help Rod long ago, instead of waiting until now.
Now that she had finally convinced those stubborn elders to come here, she certainly wouldn’t back down, determined to fight through anything that stood in her way.
“Princess Aida, you don’t need to get involved in this. Our clans have always had good relations. There’s no need to damage our bond over a stranger. I believe this is also something your family wouldn’t want to see,” the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagles’ elder said weakly, sighing as he looked at Aida. Things were becoming increasingly complicated and harder to handle, filling him with a sense of powerlessness. If he had known what would happen today, he wouldn’t have allowed his clan members to offend Rod in the first place.
“Stop talking nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight. Otherwise, release my brother Rod, and we can settle this matter. Otherwise…” As he spoke, a weapon appeared in his hand—resembling a long whip, but with something unusual about it. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a long silver snake, its fangs exposed. A cold glint appeared in his eyes as he stared at the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagles, as if ready to swallow them whole with just one bite.

“We can’t give way here; if we must cross, then war is inevitable!” Glancing behind, the Elder Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle realized there was no way back. With a firm heart, he spoke in a cold tone.
The atmosphere became tense, as if frozen in time. On the verge of conflict, everyone stepped back voluntarily—no one wanted to get drawn into such a massive battle without reason and suffer unnecessary harm.
Today seemed especially lively. Before this side could even fight, several figures rushed through the air, appearing before everyone.
“Brother Sognar, Sister Lilith!” Seeing them, Aida exclaimed excitedly, feeling relieved instantly. With these two here, Rod would be safe.
In contrast, the faces of the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle clan and the Nash family turned dark in an instant. The arrival of the Dragon clan made things even more complicated.
Beside Sognar and Lilith were two more people: a young man dressed in white with immaculately white hair, and a serious middle-aged man.
“Brother Heiyao!” Aida immediately went over to the middle-aged man and spoke respectfully. Heiyao was a powerful member of the Black Phoenix clan. Having spent so much time with Lucy, Aida naturally recognized him. To her surprise, Heiyao had come with Brother Sognar and the others, which made her even happier—things would surely be fine now.
The appearance of the powerful members of the Dragon clan and the Black Phoenix clan immediately caused a huge stir, sparking widespread discussion. Everyone looked at the Nash family and the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle clan with a mix of sympathy and mockery.
Especially the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle clan, once hailed as the sixth clan—how could such a large family be in such a sorry state, unable to even kill an enemy? It was a disgrace, fundamentally changing people’s perception of them. Now, calling them the sixth clan was nothing but a huge joke; no one wanted to acknowledge their existence.

“The Nash family and the Purple Wing Thunder Eagles—do you really never stop? How impressive! Don’t think we didn’t intervene before because we were afraid; it was simply unnecessary. Now look at what you’ve done—two powerful families attacking one person. Is that not shameful? Even if you manage to defeat them, you’ll still end up in disgrace. If I were you, I’d just go and hit my head against a wall to end it all. I truly admire your courage to keep living!” With a cold snort, Sognar glanced at the battle ahead. Though the situation was tense, Rod wasn’t in immediate danger. With disdain, he looked at the members of the Purple Wing Thunder Eagles and the stern-faced head of the Nash family.

“You…” The eldest of the Purple Wing Thunder Eagles was furious after being criticized in front of everyone, but the moment he saw Lilith’s gaze, he was speechless. Who among the older generation didn’t know of Lilith’s reputation? Her strength was far beyond his own. With her around, continuing to challenge her was nothing but self-inflicted suffering.

“And you, the Philes family—how impressive you are now! Planning to join forces with two other families to bully Rod? Is that not shameful? Do you like this feeling? How about we, the Dragon clan and the Black Phoenix clan, gang up on your family instead? Since you like it, I’ll make sure you get your fill of it, how about that?”

“The son gets beaten, and the father still dares to come out and make a fuss. Haven’t you lost enough face? I feel sorry for you. If you have the guts, let your so-called Niken come out and avenge himself. Why have the Philes family do it? That’s such a despicable move. I really wonder if you Philes family have gone stupid by staying with the war faction!” Sognar curled his lips and continued to look down on the Philes family members who still hadn’t left.

After hearing this, the members of the Philes family turned red with shame and were speechless. Ridiculous! Making their family face the wrath of the Dragon clan and the Black Phoenix clan? Did they think they could survive? Not to mention them, even the royal family wouldn’t dare to take on such anger. They still had some self-awareness.

“Let’s go!” After being scorned and left in disgrace, the leading elder snapped angrily and led the group of bewildered people away from that troublesome place. Their faces weren’t as thick as those of the Nash family and the Purple Wing Thunder Eagles—they couldn’t bear such humiliation.

“Hmph, a bunch of fools, fighting every time they show up!” Watching the group leave, Sognar waved his fist and said mockingly. The members of the Purple Wing Thunder Eagle Clan and Nash Clan behind him looked grim and speechless, while those watching from afar exchanged glances, not knowing what to say.
The dragon clans are truly domineering, and Sognar is even more so—dispensing with an entire clan in just a few words. Only they could possess such audacity, and only they have the strength! At this moment, the Fells Clan also became the subject of ridicule. It’s likely that news of this will spread throughout Dark Source and Worry-Free City by tomorrow.
“Enough, Sognar, that’s enough!” At that moment, the pale-haired young man who had remained silent but caught everyone’s attention stepped forward. He went up to the eldest of the Purple Wing Thunder Eagle Clan, interrupted Sognar who was about to continue speaking, pulled him behind himself, then turned to look at the eldest, his expression changing dramatically in an instant.
