“Heh, without even realizing it, we've become the people we hated the most.”
A feather fell to the ground and transformed into a human figure. The elegantly dressed True King of the Wen family glanced at the scenery inside the mountain cave and frowned slightly, as if unaccustomed to it.
“What? Do you regret it now? Are you senile?”
The True King of the Wang family, having barely recovered some energy, stood up and sneered.
“Of course not. Before acting, I considered the consequences dozens of times before making the final decision. Naturally, I won't regret it now. I'm just feeling a bit sentimental. We were once like that kid back then, but so many years have passed, and things have changed.”
With a soft laugh, the shadow behind the True King of the Wen family gradually stretched out, resembling a tiger crouching and a dragon coiling under the moonlight.
Now that they had done it, there was no need to regret it. Having reached this point, they wouldn't be dismissed with a mere word of regret.
“Tonight, my twelfth brother will personally lead the team. The three of us will hold back the True King level and above combat power. We can definitely eliminate that kid completely.”
The True King of the Wen family said murderously. With such a large-scale operation, they naturally couldn't return empty-handed.
At the very least, they had to eliminate Qian Er in this battle, and not allow this hidden danger to grow.
An even greater achievement would be to capture Qian Er alive and bring him back, then interrogate him about how he used his opportunity before killing him immediately.
As for brainwashing Qian Er to make him one of their own, they never even considered it. After all, they had a chance to turn the tables because of the enemy's idea in the past. How could they possibly repeat that mistake now?
“Has that old thing Qi Kunshan still not responded?”
A small tree swayed slightly, gradually growing larger, eventually bearing a large fruit.
The fruit broke open, and a somewhat obese old man walked out from within. He was the True King of the Zhao family, one of the Eight Families.
At this moment, he no longer hesitated. His eyes were filled with calmness as he plucked a fruit and threw it to the True King of the Wang family, asking softly.
“Qi Kunshan hasn't responded, but the Qi family has.”
Without any politeness, the True King of the Wang family chewed on the fruit with large bites. His pale complexion visibly turned rosy. He spoke unclearly while eating.
“Could it be that you've injured your brain? Without the consent of that obsessed man Qi Kunshan, how dare that group of incompetents from the Qi family nod in agreement? Heh, just a bunch of actors placed on a stage. When did they dare to overstep their authority?”
The True King of the Wen family chuckled, not bothering to hide his contempt for the Qi family.
“You said it yourself, they're actors, but actors are still people. This grand play of family harmony has been going on for hundreds of years, it must be getting boring.”
The True King of the Wang family slumped to the ground, smiling as he looked at his two old brothers.
His words immediately changed the expressions of the two men, who glanced at him cautiously.
“Are you serious? Do you really think that group of actors from the Qi family can defeat that obsessed man Qi Kunshan?”
Faced with the questioning of his two old companions, the True King of the Wang family only chuckled and didn't say anything explicitly.
Seeing this, the remaining two True Kings understood his thoughts and began to calculate what benefits they could gain from the upcoming upheaval.
“Let's go. Judging by the time, my twelfth brother should have arrived at the destination. We have to go prepare to intercept that old thing from the military.”
… …
“We're here…”
Outside the hotel where the students of the Imperial Academy were staying, a group of people stopped and stared at the hotel in front of them, their eyes flashing with complex emotions.
“Brother, are we really going to do this? Once we make a move, we'll be against the Imperial Academy, against the Empire.”
Behind the leading taciturn middle-aged man, a skinny man tightly grabbed his shoulder and said urgently, afraid that he would stubbornly go through with it.
However, after hearing these words, the group of people who had followed him showed no hesitation in their eyes. Their expressions were dull, like unthinking corpses.
The taciturn middle-aged man also slowly turned his head and glanced at his younger brother with a not-so-intelligent look, then, as if he were a child, placed his hand on his head and rubbed it twice.
“Brother, when it comes to fate, the most important thing is to avoid pleasing everyone. Always remember, this is the experience your brother has gained from being a knife for the ancestor for so many years.”
After speaking, he lowered his hand. Behind him, the gate of the Beast Taming Space opened, and a horned dragon composed of ice crystals, crystal clear, and with four claws under its abdomen swam out, coiling around the taciturn middle-aged man.
This was the Wen family's inherited Beast, the Xuanbing Qilong.
“Freeze this place, don't let outsiders in.”
The taciturn middle-aged man instructed the Xuanbing Qilong.
“Roar!!!”
The Xuanbing Qilong also let out a long roar towards the sky, writhing and flying into the sky, performing an ancient and profound dance in the air.
This was the Xuanbing Qilong's unique skill, the Ice Dance, which could cause a special attack while also changing the weather, forcibly distorting any weather into a blizzard more suitable for the Xuanbing Qilong to survive.
The Qilong's ancient dance communicated with the ice elements between heaven and earth. The originally normal temperature suddenly began to plummet. In the blink of an eye, goose feather snow slowly fell from the sky.
At this moment, many students in the hotel, asleep, frowned and subconsciously curled up, trying to draw some warmth from the thin blanket covering them.
“Enemy attack!!!!!”
Soon, the loud shout of the team leader instructor on duty on the first floor woke everyone from their sleep. Only then did they notice that it was a vast expanse of white outside the window, and even ice flowers had formed on the windows.
“Quick, go downstairs!”
The doors of the rooms at the edge of each floor were suddenly pushed open, and the instructors of each department walked out with serious expressions, organizing the students to leave in an orderly manner.
The students on the first floor gathered the fastest, and were currently standing in the lobby with the team leader instructor, confronting the taciturn middle-aged man and his group.
At this time, many students had already discovered the taciturn middle-aged man's Beast, and one by one they took out their encyclopedia to scan it.

“Wen Xiayun? Do you know what you're doing?!”
The team leader instructor's face changed drastically when he saw the taciturn middle-aged man in front of him, and he shouted sternly.
“An old senior of the Wen family's Xia generation, that's dangerous, quickly hide.”
Hearing this name, many of the students reacted and hid in the crowd.
“Brother Zhao, what about this Xia generation? How does he compare to Senior Wen Yuanji?”
Li Ziming leaned close to a student who obviously knew something and asked in a low voice.
The student, called Brother Zhao, carefully glanced at Wen Xiayun before explaining to Li Ziming.
“The Wen family's generations are Zhen, Xia, Qi, Yuan. This person is Senior Wen Yuanji's grandfather's generation.”
Li Ziming finally understood.
