God of Pets

Chapter 667 Siege
The officials in charge of the ten prefectures of Taishan City were all dumbfounded.

They had all received the news that the men sent by the Gong and Shang families to annihilate the Ziyang Army and Jin Taohua had all perished in Ziyang City.

Even Gong Shisan and Shang Yuguo died in Ziyang City; neither of them returned alive.

"Leaving aside the merchants for now, the Gong family's force was virtually invincible within Pengxuan Cave Heaven. How could they have been so easily wiped out by Ziyang City, with not a single one escaping back?"

The leaders of each family knew how strong those people were. Even if they were defeated, surely not a single one of them would have escaped.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to leave everyone behind, but Kong Ye's erasure ability was too brutal, leaving them no chance to escape.

The Gong and Shang families were stunned by the news. So many top experts had died, including some who were guardians of other grotto-heavens. Their deaths would have a great impact on those grotto-heavens as well.

Inside the city lord's mansion, Xuan Dongyue saw the intelligence report and his face was full of strange expressions.

Zi Donglai's actions will likely have a significant impact on his future.

Inside the grotto, the Gong and Shang families might not be able to do anything to them, but are they just going to stay in the grotto forever?
Once they enter the Great Cave Heaven, they will be like meat on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of the Gong and Shang families.

Just as rumors were spreading and causing a great uproar in Taishan City, suddenly a sky full of blood-red clouds covered the heavens and the earth, turning the entire Taishan City into a blood-red city.

Countless blood spirits surrounded Taishan City, like a ghostly army from hell besieging the city.

The ordinary cultivators in Taishan City were almost scared out of their wits. The city lord's mansion hurriedly ordered the city's defense shield to be activated, and Xuan Dongyue and the heads of the ten mansions came to the city tower.

All the people saw was a floating city suspended beneath a sea of ​​blood in the sky, and a woman holding a Blood Soul Banner, as arrogant as a queen, standing in the void, with a Blood Spirit Banner beside her, forming a line with the sea of ​​blood.

"Jin Taohua, what are you doing in Taishan City?" As the city lord of Taishan City, Xuan Dongyue could only ask.

Jin Taohua looked down at Taishan City and said, "The Gong and Shang families intended to destroy my Ziyang City and kill my Ziyang Legion soldiers. This grudge can only be avenged in blood. From now on, within Pengxuan Cave Heaven, if anyone from the Gong or Shang families is found, Ziyang City will kill them one by one, and exterminate them in pairs."

"Listen up, people of Taishan City! We are only here to kill the enemies of the Gong and Shang families. Anyone else who stands up for the Gong and Shang families will be considered an equal enemy and will be eliminated without exception."

Everyone was stunned. This was probably the first time since the emergence of the Ten Great Families that anyone had dared to declare war on them.

The faces of the Gong and Shang families in Taishan City turned extremely grim.

In the past, they would not have taken Jin Taohua's words to heart at all, but Jin Taohua and her group had just wiped out so many top experts from the Gong and Shang families.

The two families' strength in Taishan City is far inferior to that of Gong Shisan and his group; they don't even have a single expert who can compare to one of them.

It's no exaggeration to say that any one of Gong Shisan's group would be a match for the entire Gong family of Taishan City combined.

If Ziyang City was able to kill Gong Shisan and his group, destroying the Gong family's forces here would be even easier.

Therefore, even though other families were all looking to the leaders of the Gong and Shang families, none of them dared to openly challenge Jin Taohua to a fight.

"Your feud with the Gong and Shang families has nothing to do with Taishan City. You should resolve it yourselves and not implicate innocent people," Xuan Dongyue said. "Fine, hand over the people from the Gong and Shang families, then it has nothing to do with Taishan City. If you don't, then you are protecting them, and Taishan City is the enemy of my Ziyang City," Jin Taohua said disdainfully. "I'll give you half an hour to hand over the people from the Gong and Shang families, or we'll fight. The choice is yours."

After saying that, Jin Taohua turned around and returned to Ziyang City, no longer wanting to waste words with them.

Xuan Dongyue said a few more words, but no one answered. The Blood Sea and countless Blood Spirit armies continued to besiege Taishan City.

The group looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Deep down, they didn't really believe that Zi Donglai would dare to attack the city.

If he attacks the city now, it's equivalent to offending the ten great families and the ancestral court. Then he will have nowhere to go in Shenzhou and Dadongtian in the future.

However, if they offend the Gong and Shang families, they might still be able to go to the other families' grotto heavens. If they can be on good terms with other families and get the Heavenly King's protection, then the Gong and Shang families might not have a chance to deal with them.

However, if one offends the ten major families at the same time, then entering the Great Cave Heaven will undoubtedly mean certain death.

But Jin Taohua has already made her point clear. If the time comes and they really attack the city, will we be able to stop them?
All eyes turned to the leaders of the Gong and Shang families. Since the matter was caused by them, they should resolve it themselves.

"Everyone, Zi Donglai's coercion is clearly a sign that he doesn't take our ten major families seriously. If we back down today, we'll likely have to keep backing down indefinitely. Do you really want that?" said the head of the Gong family.

The merchant leader also spoke up, saying, "We'll take turns supporting the city's defensive barrier. No matter how tyrannical they are, they're useless if they can't break through it. During this time, we can send in strong warriors. With ten of us joining forces, what difficulty would there be in destroying Ziyang City?"

"This is a matter between your two families and has nothing to do with us. You've made a mortal enemy, so you should deal with it yourselves," the head of the Jiang family retorted.

“A female demon like Jin Taohua deserves to be killed by everyone,” said a member of the Gong family.

"You Gong family members know perfectly well what happened to Jin Taohua. You made your own mistakes, so of course you have to deal with them yourselves," the Xia family member said, curling his lip.

For a time, all the families were verbally attacking each other, and they wanted the Shang and Gong families to resolve the issue themselves.

The leaders of these two families were shameless and refused to leave. They knew that they would be no match for Ziyang City if they went out, so they dared not go out under any circumstances.

As long as they don't go out and are protected by the city's defenses, Zi Donglai and Jin Taohua can't do anything to their two families.

The other families couldn't really tie them up and throw them out, so for a time they were at a stalemate.

Half an hour passed quickly.

As time ended, two people flew out of Ziyang City. One was Jin Taohua, and the other was Zi Donglai.

"The time has come. It seems you have no intention of handing over the people from those two families." Chen Guan landed in front of the city gate and said to the people on the gate tower.

Jin Taohua remained suspended in the sky, using the Blood Spirit Banner to besiege Taishan City.
