Chapter 677: The Pei Family’s Foundations + Chapter 678: Eternal Darkness
"Yuanchen, Yuanhua, the territories of Huangze and Hushan are critical in this battle. Each of you will lead fifty thousand Xuanou war puppets, and regardless of the cost, even if you exhaust all the war dolls, you must delay the westward advance of the Ping’an Army."
Pei Family Patriarch Pei Yuanhao appeared calm and composed, showing no concern for Zhou Ping’an’s conquest across the east and west, nor the widespread fear of his reputation for defeating both Fantian’s army and the court’s suppression forces.
He gestured outside the main hall toward the vast field in front of the Pei Family’s castle gate, where a silent and densely packed mass of mechanical puppets stood motionless.
"Our Pei Family has not displayed its might in recent years, which perhaps has led the world to misunderstand us, to believe that the Pei Family has fallen into decline, daring to treat us like a soft target. The Red Lotus Army, the Ping’an Army—they’re all the same. After today, let the world witness our invincible Xuanou battle formation. Whoever trespasses will leave with shattered ambitions."
"Brother, I’ve observed Zhou Ping’an’s way of handling affairs—it is extremely ruthless. In the battle of Zhao Mountain, he charged alone into the city, faced Elder Xuan Shan head-on, and decisively killed Fantian’s Buddhist disciple.
During the battle at Golden River, he and Lin Huaiyu went deep into the heart of the county city, where, despite being gravely outnumbered, they forced the Jiangzhou Tang Family into submission. Officially, it’s termed ’alliance,’ but everyone knows Zhou Ping’an used the lives of tens of thousands of the Tang Family’s members to compel their surrender."
"Given his nature, once he learns of our Pei Family’s Xuanou army, he will surely avoid confronting us head-on, most likely opting instead for a solo assault on the Pei Family’s castle."
The Second Elder Pei Yuanchen, known for his thoughtful and steady disposition, furrowed his brow, visibly cautious and uncertain.
