Chapter 1070 Do You Think I Can Stop You Now?
A nobility war!
Wang Teng immediately felt the change in the atmosphere. The nobility war seemed to be taboo.
“Round Ball, what’s a nobility war?” Wang Teng frowned and quickly asked in his mind.
“He’s crazy; the Parkers family is crazy.” Round Ball was staggered too. It shouted in Wang Teng’s mind, “This is the nobility war! A war that can harm the foundation of two noble families!
“There were two nobles that started a nobility war. It ended with both sides suffering great losses. They’re the last two members of the grand dukes. They are finally starting to recover after many years of recuperating.
“However, they’re not present at the banquet today.”
Wang Teng gasped uncontrollably in his heart when he heard the explanation. Although Round Ball didn’t say much, he could imagine how terrifying the war was in the past.
The war between two nobles must be frightening. It probably implicated numerous galaxies!
This was a war strong enough to harm their foundation… War was the right word to describe it!
“Has the Parkers family always been so reckless?” This was getting troublesome.
If the Parkers family really initiated a nobility war for his divine flame, he knew that no one would stand up for him.
The Ji family wouldn’t start a nobility war because they owed him a favor. Even the Secondary Career Alliance might have to take a step back.
This was a question of interest!
The impact of the nobility war was too huge!
“No, you don’t understand what the divine flame means for them. I made a mistake too. I underestimated their greed and desire for divine flames,” Round Ball said seriously. It felt helpless and regretful.
It didn’t expect the Parkers family to go this far for a divine flame.
The Ji family turned silent. Wang Teng’s heart sank to the bottom.
Ji Yuanqing and the others were extremely nervous. All their expressions turned somber.
However, the next second, Universe Lord Ji Xia smiled. There was disdain in his gaze as his calm voice echoed through the residence, “If you want a war, we will go to war.”
Ten words!
It was a simple reply.
If you want a war, we will go to war.
An unparalleled dominance and majestic fighting spirit erupted from his ancient and old body.
Everyone’s expression changed. They stared at him in fright. Ji Yuanqing and the others were appalled too. They lost control of their expressions.
Wang Teng turned his head. He was dumbstruck. He couldn’t believe that the Ji family would go this far to repay him.
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord felt the muscles on his face twitching. His pupils constricted, and he stared intently at Ji Xia.
The atmosphere was frightening. A storm seemed to be blowing in the air. Who would expect a baron’s banquet to ignite a nobility
war?
“Ji Xia, you!” The Furious Flaming Universe Lord was shocked and furious. He couldn’t find his words.
He had no intention of starting a nobility war. He just wanted to force the Ji family to step back. He didn’t expect that old fellow to ignore his threat and fight with him until the end.
“Are you afraid?” Universe Lord Ji Xia said slowly.
“Bullshit! Why would I be afraid of you!” The Furious Flaming Universe Lord roared.
“Come on then!”
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord didn’t know what to say anymore. He started cursing
“Sigh!”
At this moment, a soft sigh resounded in the courtyard.
Wang Teng’s expression changed. He looked in the air. The space in that area turned distorted, and an old figure appeared gradually. Wang Teng squinted. There was a flame on this newcomer’s forehead, and he was bald. The flame was like a small phoenix. It looked divine.
These two traits revealed the man’s identity: another member of the Parkers family!
From the Force glow in his body, this person was a universe-stage martial warrior, and he was at the peak too.
“Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord!” Universe Lord Ji Xia recognized the other party. He turned grim.
“Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord!” Someone immediately repeated the name.
“It’s him!”
“The Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord from the Parkers family! Oh my god, even he’s here!”
“I heard that the Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord has been meditating for many years and hasn’t interfered in his family matters all this while. Yet, he came for the divine flame. The Parkers seem firm in snatching the divine flame today.”
Wang Teng’s gaze flickered. After hearing their exclamations, he knew the extraordinary background of the other party. It was another ancient presence from the Parkers!
Even he felt a little helpless now.
He took much effort and made use of many chances and opportunities to get himself here. Yet, he was still in muddy waters.
Both he and Round Ball had underestimated the Parkers family’s greed and their shamelessness.
Who would have expected them to send two universe-stage martial warriors to deal with him?
What Wang Teng didn’t know was, his exceptional performance in the past was the real reason why the Parkers family sent two universe-stage martial warriors.
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord was the frontline. If he succeeded, that would be the best. There was no need to activate the other universe-stage martial warrior.
After all, it was a little embarrassing to send two universe-stage martial warriors to deal with a planetary-stage martial warrior.
Of course, if things reached that stage, the appearance of the second universe-stage martial warrior would ensure their success. It was obvious that the second case came true.
Wang Teng’s triple-field grandmaster title and the interference of the Ji family were both outside the Parkers family’s prediction.
From the start, both parties were fighting with their trump cards.
Wang Teng revealed his trump card and astounded the Parkers family.
The Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord appeared and scanned his surroundings. He looked at Universe Lord Ji Xia and said, “Ji Xia, you can’t stop us.”
“The renowned Parkers family has activated two universe-stage martial warriors to take care of a baron. You’ve surprised me today.” Universe Lord Ji Xia sneered. He felt a little helpless.
“No matter what you say, the result tonight won’t change,” the Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord replied calmly.
“Hmph!” Universe Lord Ji Xia snorted.
He wanted to help, but he didn’t have the ability to. He wouldn’t be able to stop two universe-stage martial warriors on his own.
“Baron Wang Teng, I think you should pass the divine flame to me.” The Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord’s gaze finally landed on Wang Teng. His tone was monotonous.
He sounded like a bandit who had barged into other people’s homes and asked the owner to give him their money.
He made it sound right and proper. He sounded calm yet domineering.
Silence. Everyone looked at Wang Teng in pity and shook their heads with a sigh.
Sigh, what can he do now?
Wang Teng’s expression didn’t change, but he felt a hint of humiliation in his heart.
Seeking fortune in danger?!
He had obtained the baron title and gained a footing in the Great Qian Empire. Even Cao Hongtu couldn’t touch him.
Yet, the result was still the same?
He still felt helpless in front of a powerful faction like the Parkers family.
This wasn’t his issue. His opponent was too strong and despicable!
He also overestimated the influence of the empire’s law and order. A powerful presence like the Parkers family was able to overlook the laws and get anything they wanted as long as they didn’t go too overboard. If they didn’t kill Wang Teng openly, everything was fine.
This was why they dared to come directly to his residence to snatch the divine flame not long after his ceremony. They had no qualms about it.
“Wang Teng, hand it over. You have no choice.” The Furious Flaming Universe Lord smirked.
“I’m sorry, that’s impossible. Don’t even think about it!” Wang Teng suddenly relaxed. He sat down casually in his chair and glanced at the Parkers family.
He was well-prepared. He was ready for a life-or-death struggle. Hence, he had no fear in his heart.
With his current space power, there was a chance that he could escape. Revenge was a dish best served cold!
He couldn’t beat them now, so he had to wait. As long as he was alive, he would take revenge for everything he suffered today.
“Huh?” The Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord sighed. “I don’t want to fight with a junior like you, but you’re really insensitive.”
“Hmph, old man, come and attack me. Let’s see if I’m a weakling you can control easily.” Wang Teng snorted.
The Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord turned green in anger when Wang Teng called him an old man. He finally understood why the Furious Flaming Universe Lord was so enraged and wanted to initiate a nobility war.
This young brat was infuriating!
“I guess I have to act personally. This time, no one can help you.” The Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord was about to act.
Wang Teng’s gaze turned sharp. The space power in his body churned violently.
“Hahaha, I don’t think so. What if I come in?” Peals of laughter were heard at this moment.
The Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord frowned and looked in the direction of the Cavendish family. The person who spoke was Borla.
Wang Teng looked over too. Besides astonishment, one could also see gratitude in his eyes.
The Cavendish family didn’t owe him any favors, but Borla still stepped out to help him. This was a huge favor from them.
“The young fellow from the Cavendish family!” The Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord said, “You’re only at the heaven stage. You can’t stop me.”
“Hmph-“
Borla snorted when the elder called him a young fellow. A powerful aura suddenly exploded from his body.
“Bang!”
The Force fluctuations around Borla’s body rose tremendously. He stepped over the gates of heaven stage and entered the universe stage. There, his aura continued climbing until he reached the third-level universe stage.
“Sigh, it’s uncomfortable to suppress my ability all the time.” Borla let out a long sigh and stretched his back.
Everyone was flabbergasted. They were in a daze.
Borla was suppressing his ability?
He had reached the universe stage!
The stimulation was a little too great. The people present needed some time to react.
Even Di Qi widened his eyes in shock. He was filled with disbelief. He didn’t know that Borla was concealing his cultivation.
“This fellow!” Universe Lord Ji Xia laughed heartily.
To him, Borla was a junior too. Hence, he found it interesting when Borla released his true power and caused frustration and exasperation to the Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord and the others.
“Do you think I can stop you now?” Borla looked at the Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord and asked.
