Chapter 73: Growing Tension

Yang Feng calmed himself by telling he has the [Heaven Devouring Art] and [Reaper] so he was pretty good too. After calming himself he asked, "Ling Tian how did you get this dagger??". This dagger was obviously not a normal dagger it was also made by a god.

Ling Tian kept quiet not telling anything and finally after some time he said "I don't know"

Yang Feng was little pissed off for a moment and suddenly realised something "Did he killed an Eternal God??". From the description this weapon was made by the Eternal God of Forgery and why would an Eternal God give such a weapon to him. From his information, the Gods and the Humans had a long history of rivalry with each other. Humans tried to enslave the gods while the Gods were too prideful to even talk to an inferior creature like humans. Humans and gods were known to belong rivals and even though Gods were far more powerful than the humans, the humans were far more united than the gods. If the gods were to unite unless the entire Dragons and titans ally with each other, the gods would certainly become rural of the universe but like the Gods, thank god they were prideful. The Gods were so prideful in fact they even hate their own kinds to the bones. It was normal indeed but most of the gods were loner not because of they no friends but because they were too prideful to have friends. That is why a god having friends was in a thousand .

It was said killing the lowest raking god was very difficult not to mention an Eternal God so Killing an Eternal God was literally impossible unless Ling tian found it in some ruins or something but there was a very very very little chance he had killed an Eternal God because there was a chance he may have gained the title of God Killer by killing him. Yang Feng shook his head and said to himself "I don't think he was able to kill an Eternal God".Yang Feng looked calm from the outside but front the inside he was somewhat nervous. The room was quiet until Yang Faolan broke the silence "Big brother Uncle ling has taken other disciples too"

Yang Feng was little shocked but Ling Tian stood like a piece of ice and said "They don't qualify to be my disciple. Only one of the. qualifies to be disciple-in-name only"

Yang Feng was a little surprised and asked: "So does that mean you have taken more than one disciple??"

Ling Tian shook and replied "I am only training them but I haven't taken them as my disciple. They aren't a talent as him for me to take them as disciples"

Yang Feng smiled and said, "Why don't you bring those children here??"

Ling Tian nodded and after some time of talking with eachother, all of them left.

Yang Feng sighed and checked his town stats

He now had more than 250 soldiers which are more than enough to fight against four villages but it wasn't enough to win against them. An average high-level Village had average soldiers of fifty men as such he currently had power enough to rival against five average villages. He could only rival against them but not defeat them.

Guang Fai came and half kneeled, "My lord the previous emissary has returned for our answer"

Yang Feng thought for a while and asked "Reject him if he wants us to join but also inform him we will not join anyone so he can rest assure and assign Chao Qiang to gather more information about the villages"

Guang Fai nodded and left the manor.

After a few days (Game time)

Chao Qiang was able to gather a lot of information. The conflict seems to have started when the soldiers of both villages attacked each other mistaking other parties for beasts. It was unknown who attacked first but both parties were injured and when both village leaders tried to table talk it started a brawl. As such both villages started to make an alliance with the enemies of their enemies to fight against their enemy. The tension had started to increase and other villages decided to stay neutral.

[Shadow Village] and [Hidden Village] Vs [No school Village]

And [Lonely Village]

Other villages who were staying neutral were also eyeing this opportunity to gain something.

While they were eyeing those four villages Yang Feng was eyeing the neutral villages which were eyeing the four villages.

The conflict was soon going to start and when that happens Yang Feng wasn't going let this opportunity go in waste.

Yang Feng ordered the production of 250 swords and shields to Geng Fang. After that, every day was pretty normal except for the growing tension.

As Yang Feng was training, Guang Fai hurriedly came inside the manor and said "My lord the battle is about to begin"

Yang Feng was quickly alarmed and ordered "Inform every soldier to be on guard and prepare a hundred twenty soldiers for battle"

Guang Fai nodded and left.

The battle was about to begin.
