Elderly warriors on the battlefield of all races
Chapter 167: A Desolate Scene
All of a sudden, almost all members of the Ding family began to persuade Zhang Mu to leave the Ding family.
After all, no one knows when the Xiao family will suddenly attack the Ding family. Because of the feud between the two families, once the Xiao family has the news, there is no fixed time at all.
It is possible that they will attack the Ding family today.
If we wait until the Xiao family arrives, it may be too late to leave.
"Zhang Mu, let's go, take Xiaoyue with you."
"As long as Xiaoyue follows you, the Xiao family won't dare to do anything to Xiaoyue."
Ding Yue's parents urged Zhang Mu that they would stay and fight to the death for the family and would naturally not implicate Zhang Mu, an innocent person.
Besides, the Ding family has already arranged the fire. If Ding Yue survives, he can also help the Ding family members rise.
At this moment, many members of the Ding family had tears in their eyes, and Ding Yue was crying like rain.
It seemed that facing the Xiao family, the Ding family was actually powerless, and there was no other possibility except being exterminated.
It’s a pity that no one can help the Ding family.
But she also didn't want to live alone.
"you"
She wanted to say something to Zhang Mu, but Zhang Mu just shook his head: "Don't say anything, I'll stay, maybe I can still help your Ding family."
"Since the Xiao family has a semi-saint, let's invite a semi-saint to come over and make the other party retreat."
Zhang Mu thought that with the strength of the Ding family, they could not be a match for the Semi-Saint, so he could only ask other Semi-Saints to come forward, perhaps to force the Xiao family to retreat temporarily.
As long as he is given time, not to mention ten years, but five years, he can hope to achieve semi-saint status in his physical body within five years. By then, if the Xiao family comes to the Ding family again, they will not be afraid of the semi-saint of the Xiao family.
Everyone in the Ding family looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
Even Ding Xiong, the head of the Ding family, smiled bitterly: "It's easy for you to say, but can we just invite a semi-saint expert casually?"
"Besides, our two families are sworn enemies, and no one will be willing to help us."
The Ding family is now in a state of lamentation. They call themselves a big family, but without a semi-saint in charge, they are just a big family. In fact, a semi-saint can destroy any big family.
The gap between the ninth level and the semi-saint is still very large.
Moreover, over the years, the Ding family has not been able to establish a friendship with any semi-saint. After all, a semi-saint cannot be met just by wanting to.
There are only a few Semi-Saints in the entire Blue Star.
Besides, in the fight for family feud, even if we invite a half-saint, can we make the Xiao family's half-saint retreat?
Even if we really invite a semi-saint, it may be useless. What if the semi-saint of the Xiao family does not give face and fights with the semi-saint?
In the battle between semi-saints, if one cannot crush the opponent with absolute strength, the outcome is unpredictable.
Therefore, this war between the Ding family and the Xiao family cannot be resolved by simply inviting a semi-saint.
The problem is that they don’t know any semi-saints, and the Ding family’s reputation is not enough to make a semi-saint stand up for them.
However, Zhang Mu's suggestion also made many people in the Ding family look at Zhang Mu.
Speaking of those who have a friendship with the Semi-Saint, it seems that only Zhang Mu has that honor, because Zhang Mu is on close terms with Yang Xuan, the governor of Suzhou.
He is also a sworn brother of General Lu Wengong of Longcheng Base.
This also shows how powerful Zhang Mu is.
But whether it is Yang Xuan or Lu Wengong, it is impossible for them to provoke the Half-Saint of the Xiao family for the sake of the Ding family, right?
They didn't dare to think about it.
Zhang Mu saw the desperate looks on the faces of the Ding family members. Facing a semi-saint, the Ding family was indeed powerless.
He immediately suppressed the noise of the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Let me give it a try. I have a good relationship with Yang Xuan, the governor of Suzhou. I will ask him to come over and help you mediate."
When the Ding family members heard that Zhang Mu wanted to ask Yang Xuan to come forward, their eyes lit up.
Perhaps, this is also an opportunity, the only way for their Ding family to avoid being silenced.
But that would require really asking Yang Xuan for help.
"Zhang Mu, Yang Xuan is the governor of Suzhou after all. He is very busy and it is impossible for him to come forward for our Ding family."
Although the Ding family all hoped that Yang Xuan could help, they did not hold out much hope.
And is Zhang Mu’s face really useful?
Zhang Mu did not hesitate and took out his phone to call Yang Xuan: "I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way."
"And you can also invite some helpers over. There is strength in numbers, and maybe the Xiao family will be wary of something."
The Xiao family has a semi-saint strongman, but if the Ding family asks for enough help, it may scare the Xiao family away.
Ding Xiong, the head of the Ding family, nodded: "Okay, let's all give it a try."
For the sake of the Ding family, Ding Xiong, as the head of the family, was willing to give it his all. Now was not the time to care about dignity and face, so he took the initiative to contact some large families with whom he had good relations.
If there really were a lot of experts coming to help, the Xiao family would also have some concerns.
Zhang Mu called and Yang Xuan answered the call quickly.
"Zhang Mu, what's the matter?"
Yang Xuan is preparing to deal with the Order of the Undead, because a ninth-order strongman of the Order of the Undead appeared in Wen County to hunt down Zhang Mu, which made Yang Xuan furious. He prepared to launch a powerful deterrent action against the Order of the Undead.
They are also recruiting people. After all, the Order of the Undead is not a small force and has the Great Sage behind it.
When Yang Xuan saw Zhang Mu’s call, he naturally answered it immediately.
Zhang Mu didn't waste any more time and asked directly: "Brother Yang, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Help? Tell me, as long as I can do it, it's absolutely no problem."
Yang Xuan treats Zhang Mu as his own brother, and Zhang Mu has brought many benefits to Suzhou because of topping the second-level Xuanling list.
As the governor of Suzhou, he was rewarded by his superiors.
So when Zhang Mu offered to help, he felt obliged to do so and agreed without hesitation.
"Help the Ding family solve a troublesome matter."
So Zhang Mu told Yang Xuan about the feud between the Ding family and the Xiao family.
Yang Xuan listened and pondered for a moment: "I know about the grudge between the Ding family and the Xiao family, but how come a semi-saint appeared in the Xiao family? How come I don't know anything about it?"
"When did this semi-saint appear?"
Upon learning that a semi-saint had appeared in the Xiao family, Yang Xuan was also confused. After all, the appearance of a powerful semi-saint could never be hidden from him, Yang Xuan.
But he had never even heard of the Half-Saint of the Xiao family.
Moreover, facing a strong man who was also a semi-saint, Yang Xuan was also very cautious, but he still said very straightforwardly: "Okay, no problem, I can come forward to mediate."
"But if the Xiao family's semi-saint doesn't give me face, I may not be able to stop it."
They are both semi-saints, so it depends on whether the other party will give him face. Once the other party is difficult to talk to, it will be useless even if Yang Xuan is the governor of Suzhou.
After all, Yang Xuan was not absolutely sure of winning when facing the same semi-saint. The most he could do was mediate and he would not choose to fight the opponent.
Being able to come forward to mediate is already a great honor to Zhang Mu.
If it was the Ding family who invited him, Yang Xuanniao would probably not even bother to pay any attention. "Then I would like to thank Brother Yang in advance."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Mu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yang Xuan could show up, the Xiao family wouldn't be in such a bad situation even if there was a semi-saint.
Up to now, Zhang Mu himself does not have enough strength, and the Ding family does not have the ability to compete with the Semi-Saint, so reducing the casualties of the Ding family is already the best result.
Zhang Mu couldn't guess what exactly happened.
Although among the semi-saints he knew, Duke Lu Wen was the strongest, much stronger than Yang Xuan, but Duke Lu Wen was in the Dragon City base and it was impossible for him to find time to return to Blue Star.
The importance of Longcheng Base cannot be compared to that of the Ding family alone.
Not to mention the Ding family being exterminated, even if Longcheng was destroyed, it is estimated that Duke Lu Wen would not be able to return to help.
So now the only option left is to let Yang Xuan take action.
Ding Yue, Ding Pei and Ding Yue's parents were listening to Zhang Mu talking on the phone.
Seeing Zhang Mu hang up the phone, Ding Yue asked: "So, did Governor Yang refuse?"
Ding Yue followed Zhang Mu and knew that Zhang Mu and Yang Xuan did have a special relationship. She even met with Yang Xuan many times to discuss things. However, she still felt that the possibility of Yang Xuan speaking for the Ding family was not high.
How can one invite someone of such status as the Governor of Suzhou so easily?
Zhang Mu smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I will do the job. Yang Xuan promised to mediate between your Ding family and the Xiao family."
After hearing this, Ding Yue and Ding Pei were both pleasantly surprised. This was definitely great news.
With Yang Xuan stepping forward, they will definitely be able to gain a glimmer of hope for the Ding family.
Ding Yue's parents were also quite shocked. Yang Xuan actually agreed to speak up for their Ding family. They didn't expect that Zhang Mu would actually do it.
It can be seen that Zhang Mu's reputation is extraordinary, and he is worthy of being the top talent on the Xuanling List.
What made them even more fortunate was that they had such an excellent son-in-law. Although he was not yet a real son-in-law, in their hearts, they had already regarded Zhang Mu as their son-in-law.
Ding Tao was a little excited.
On the other hand, the Ding family members also mobilized their connections and invited help.
Ding Xiong, the head of the Ding family, made his first call to Guan Hao, the head of the Guan family who had just left.
Guan Hao, who had already left a long way, frowned slightly when he saw that it was Ding Xiong's call. After a long while, he picked up the phone. After picking up the phone, he immediately asked with a smile, "Brother Ding, what's the matter?"
Although his words were polite, in fact, he was very unhappy because his Guan family lost face during this visit to the Ding family.
But due to the friendship between them, he had to answer Ding Xiong's call.
Ding Xiong did not hide anything, but said truthfully: "Brother Guan, you also know that there is a feud between our Ding family and the Xiao family. Now the Xiao family is coming to our Ding family for revenge."
"So there may be a tough battle to fight. Can Brother Guan come to our Ding family to help?"
Given the long-standing friendship between their two families, Ding Xiong felt that the Guan family should be able to help.
However, when Guan Hao heard Ding Xiong's request, he frowned again: "What's the grudge between your Ding family and the Xiao family?"
"Wait, wasn't the Xiao family wiped out by your Ding family? Why does it sound like your Ding family is still afraid of the Xiao family?"
He suddenly heard a clue from Ding Xiong's words. The Ding family actually wanted their Guan family to help. It was clearly a manifestation of fear and cowardice on the part of the Xiao family.
He also knew about the grudge between the Ding family and the Xiao family, and was somewhat reluctant to get involved in the affairs of the two families.
Helping the Ding family means offending the Xiao family.
If we don't help the Ding family, there may be a rift between them, and the two families will go their separate ways from then on.
Ding Xiong continued, "Well, it's a long story. Brother Guan, please tell me whether you will come to help or not. Please give me a word."
When Ding Xiong heard Guan Hao's hesitation, he felt that the Guan family might not be reliable.
After a while, Guan Hao said in a deep voice: "Okay, no problem, I will bring our Guan family to help you later."
After some thought, Guan Hao decided to help the Ding family. It was just to lend a helping hand and there was no need to fight.
So there is no loss for the Guan family.
After hanging up the phone, Ding Xiong was delighted. He had won over the Guan family. This time, the Guan family had two ninth-level masters, plus the three ninth-level masters from their Ding family.
By then, there will be six ninth-level masters, and we will have some confidence in dealing with the Xiao family.
If there were more ninth-order masters, they might be able to surround and kill the semi-saints. This was also Brother Ding's fantasy.
After contacting the Guan family, Ding Xiong contacted other big families with whom he had dealings, but was rejected by all of them. After all, getting involved in the fights between big families would be risky for any big family.
So it's normal to be rejected.
Ding Xiong smiled bitterly: "They are all unreliable. It turns out that they are only related by interests."
But this is also the reality. The interactions among large families are mostly related to interests.
After many big families refused, Ding Xiong realized that Zhang Mu was truly sincere and dared to stay and face the Xiao family together with their Ding family.
"The last big family, the Gao family, I wonder if they will come to help?"
Ding Xiong's last call was to Gao family's ancestor Gao Ling. After all, the Ding family and the Gao family had a close relationship.
Soon, the call was connected. After Ding Xiong explained the situation, Gao Ling listened and immediately rejected Ding Xiong.
"Ding Xiong, I'm very sorry. Our Gao family does not participate in the feud between your Ding family and the Xiao family, so I'm sorry that I can't help you."
After that, hang up the phone.
After hearing Gao Ling, the ancestor of the Gao family, hang up the phone so cleanly and decisively, Ding Xiong gave a bitter smile.
Gao Ling, the ancestor of the Gao family, has already touched the edge of semi-sainthood, and it is said that he has the potential to break through to the semi-saint realm, so he feels that if Gao Ling takes action, he will definitely be a powerful helper.
But he was rejected outright, without any hesitation, and his last glimmer of hope was shattered.
After putting away their phones, the Ding family gathered together again and began to understand the results of their respective invitations to help.
Finally, they found out that no one was willing to help the Ding family. Even the ninth-level strong men could not be invited to help. It was very embarrassing.
"Master, how are you doing?"
Everyone looked at Ding Xiong. They failed to invite helpers, so the head of the family should be able to invite some helpers.
Ding Xiong then said to everyone: "I invited the head of the Guan family, and he agreed to come and help."
“No one from other families came.”
After hearing these words, the Ding family members all sighed.
"The friendship between big families is as pure as water."
“This result is to be expected.”
But one ninth-rank expert was unwilling to give up and asked, "What about the Gao family? Did the Gao family also refuse?"
They have close ties with the Gao family in Longcheng, so they should come to help, right?
Unfortunately, Ding Xiong shook his head, interrupting all the Ding family’s thoughts.
"The ancestor of the Gao family rejected my request personally."
"So the Gao family didn't come back to help."
Hearing this, the Ding family became even more desperate. The Ding family had friendly relations with many large families, but the result was that, except for the Guan family, the other large families were unwilling to even agree to help.
It makes people feel very sad. (End of this chapter)
