In the following days, Aotian lived a peaceful life, as if he had forgotten all his grievances and troubles.
Given that Aotian's current strength was unparalleled in Aojia, many members of Aojia came to him daily to seek advice on their cultivation challenges. Aotian generously shared his breakthrough experiences with everyone and pointed out their shortcomings in cultivation.
After all, they were all members of Aojia, and the stronger Aojia became, the happier Aotian would be.
Gradually, more and more people came to consult Aotian with their questions, and he patiently answered them. Over time, Aotian's prestige in Aojia grew increasingly high.
If previously Aotian instilled fear in the members of Aojia, now he commanded their respect. Unbeknownst to him, there was a tendency for Aotian to become the spiritual leader of Aojia.
However, Aotian merely smiled at this and did not pay much attention. Regardless of his status in Aojia, strength was always the most important factor. Without strength, no one would recognize him.
Thus, during these days, Aotian did not neglect his own cultivation.
His martial arts cultivation was just a step away from reaching Innate Nine Levels, and he had integrated the breakthrough experience of Soul Elder. Now, as long as he had sufficient energy for a breakthrough, he could immediately strive to become a Second-Level Soul Master.
As for his physical cultivation, Aotian felt helpless. If he couldn't determine what kind of energy was lacking for the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body, then a breakthrough was impossible.
Therefore, Aotian temporarily set aside the cultivation of Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body. However, even though he wasn't currently prioritizing physical cultivation, his current physical strength was enough for him to roam freely in the Human Spirit Realm.
During these days, aside from cultivating himself and guiding the members of Aojia in their training, Aotian also enjoyed teasing Loli Xiao Hong'er.
It must be said that Xiao Hong'er was an incredibly cute little girl; her every action often brought laughter to Aotian.
In his heart, Aotian had a vague plan to see if he could enroll Xiao Hong'er in Xuantian Academy. After all, Xuantian Academy had a rich foundation where Loli could receive better education.
When Aotian discussed this plan with Xiao Ya, she hesitated but ultimately agreed. After all, joining Xuantian Academy would be more beneficial than detrimental for Loli.
Aotian enjoyed this hard-earned tranquility in Aojia until a letter of challenge arrived, completely shattering the peace he had found there.
In Aotian's room stood Aotian, Xiao Ya, and Niu Geng quietly. However, none of them wore their usual joyful expressions; instead, there was an air of seriousness among them.
At this moment, there was a "letter" pressed down on Aotian's desk.
"Father, is it true that the Zheng Family has declared war on us, the Aojia?" Aotian suddenly asked.
Aotian nodded and handed the "letter" from the desk to Aotian, saying:
"This is the declaration of war from the Zheng Family. Take a look."
Aotian took the "letter" and looked at its contents:
"Aojia Aotian, you disregarded familial morals and drove away your second uncle Ao Gong. You are indeed a sinner of the Dragon God World. For such sinners, my Zheng Family holds the deepest hatred. Tomorrow morning, my Zheng Family will march upon Aojia, slay Aotian, and destroy Aojia to uphold righteousness! You should pray for your own safety! Signed, Zheng Kun."
After reading it, Aotian sneered:
"This Zheng Kun really acts like a saint while being hypocritical to the extreme!"
Indeed, Aojia and the Zheng Family had always been at odds. The Zheng Family had wanted to destroy Aojia for quite some time now, yet they now claim it is for the sake of righteousness—how ridiculous!
However, Aotian also knew that things had become somewhat tricky. After all, it was true that he had driven away Ao Gong, and Zheng Kun was using this to make a big deal out of it, undoubtedly positioning himself on a moral high ground.
This would create a false impression: that Aojia was evil and that the Zheng Family was righteous. Historically, good has always triumphed over evil. At that time, the outcry for the Zheng Family would likely far exceed that of Aojia. This was undoubtedly a problem.
Although Ao Gong had been expelled from Aojia, which was entirely his own fault, not many people knew about it. After all, this was a family disgrace; family matters should not be aired publicly. Naturally, members of Aojia would not foolishly make their internal issues known to everyone.
Thus, not many people were aware of the truth behind Ao Gong's expulsion.
However, Aotian did not take this too seriously. In the Dragon God World, strength is always right. A loud voice does not guarantee victory. As long as he could defeat the Zheng Family, the reputation of Aojia would naturally rise.
"By the way, Father, why has the Zheng Family suddenly declared war on us?" Aotian looked at Aotian with confusion.
Although the war declaration mentioned eliminating criminals and restoring righteousness, Aotian certainly did not believe it. Such statements could only deceive those who were unaware of the truth.
"I am not quite sure why the Zheng Family suddenly took action, but Tian'er, the strength of the Zheng Family should not be underestimated!" Aotian sighed.
"Isn't the strongest in the Zheng Family that patriarch, Zheng Kun? I could knock him down with a single punch!" Aotian said lightly.
Indeed, the Zheng Family Head was far from having the strength of a Human Spirit Realm expert, so it was normal for Aotian to look down on him.
"Tian'er, the Zheng Family is far more difficult to deal with than you imagine," Aotian shook his head, a clear look of apprehension in his eyes.
Aotian was slightly taken aback, feeling somewhat confused. His father already knew about his strength, so he should also understand that sweeping through the Zheng Family would not be a difficult task given his abilities.
However, the fact that his father still displayed such apprehension proved that the Zheng Family was far from as simple as it appeared.
"Father, is there perhaps an even more powerful warrior within the Zheng Family?" Aotian asked cautiously.
Aotian shook his head and said, "In the past, the strongest warrior in the Zheng Family was indeed Zheng Kun, but now things are different. His son, Zheng Kongqiang, has likely reached the Half-Step Human Spirit Realm."
Aotian was momentarily stunned but quickly reacted. He had heard of Zheng Kongqiang's name. It was said that this Zheng Kongqiang had exceptional talent in cultivation and had already joined the top force in Fengyun Nation, Ice River Sect, at a young age. It was quite normal for him to reach the Half-Step Human Spirit Realm now.
However, even if Zheng Kongqiang had reached the Half-Step Human Spirit Realm, it shouldn't be enough to make his father feel apprehensive. After all, with his current strength, crushing a Half-Step Human Spirit Realm warrior would be like child's play.
Seemingly sensing his son's doubts, Aotian immediately said, "Not long ago, news came from Ice River Sect that Zheng Kongqiang has been accepted as a disciple by the sect master."
Upon hearing Aotian's words, Aotian's expression suddenly changed. No wonder his father showed signs of apprehension; it turned out that this was where the problem lay.
The Ice River Sect is one of the top forces within the Fengyun Nation, comparable in strength and foundation to the Azure Cloud Sect. Most importantly, the headquarters of the Ice River Sect is located in the western part of Fengyun Nation, governing countless cities.
Although Ning City is not under the jurisdiction of the Ice River Sect, it lies on the edge of their influence. If one were to provoke the Ice River Sect, it would only take a moment for them to make Aojia disappear.
At that moment, Aotian felt a surge of apprehension. His fear of the Ice River Sect even surpassed that of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Of course, this does not mean that the Ice River Sect is stronger than the Azure Cloud Sect. The main reason is that Aojia is situated in the western part of Fengyun Nation; if he offended the Azure Cloud Sect, they would not dare to launch a large-scale attack on Aojia.
After all, Aojia is located in the western part of Fengyun Nation, outside the jurisdiction of the Azure Cloud Sect. If they were to take action against Aojia, it would undoubtedly have significant repercussions.
Once the Azure Cloud Sect takes action, there would likely be negative sentiments spreading throughout Fengyun Nation regarding their overreach. At that point, the Azure Cloud Sect would find it difficult to resolve the situation amicably.
After all, the entire Fengyun Nation is not solely dominated by the Azure Cloud Sect.
However, the situation with the Ice River Sect is different; their jurisdiction extends into the western part of Fengyun Nation. Although Ning City technically falls outside their control, if the Ice River Sect decides to intervene, they certainly can.
At that time, any charge could be levied against Aojia, allowing the Ice River Sect to justify their actions against them.
In such a scenario, everyone would simply view Aojia as overstepping its bounds by offending the Ice River Sect. In hindsight, people might only say that the Ice River Sect was bullying a smaller force, and ultimately this matter would fade away. But in this seemingly simple process, Aojia could be completely eradicated...
Therefore, until absolutely necessary, one must never offend the Ice River Sect. Aotian could walk away nonchalantly, but escaping from this situation would be impossible for Aojia; they would undoubtedly face severe consequences.
However, if Zheng Kun were to act against Aojia, Zheng Kongqiang would not stand idly by. Offending Zheng Kongqiang would essentially mean offending his master, the leader of the Ice River Sect. At that point, the wrath of the Ice River Sect could easily obliterate Aojia.
"I'm in trouble..." Aotian rubbed his temples and felt that things were becoming quite complicated.
Not fighting means waiting for death as Zheng Family comes to destroy Aojia. Fighting means offending the Ice River Sect; their anger could uproot Aojia entirely.
Aotian clearly understood how tricky this situation was and immediately spoke to himself:
"Tian'er, if it really comes to it, just run. I believe with your strength, escaping from the western part of Fengyun Nation won't be difficult. As for Aojia, perhaps it's destined to face this calamity!"
By the end of his words, Aotian's figure appeared somewhat desolate.
Aojia could be said to be Aotian's life's work, and now it was on the brink of extinction, which must have caused Aotian immense pain.
"Father, don't worry. If it really comes to it, we can migrate as a family and leave the western part of Fengyun Nation," Aotian said seriously while looking at Aotian.
Aotian smiled bitterly upon hearing this; migrating as a family was easier said than done. During the migration process, the Ice River Sect could wipe out Aojia hundreds of times.
Looking at his father's still desolate back, Aotian firmly thought:
"Father, I will not let anyone touch Aojia in the slightest! If it really comes to it, I will give up my face and ask Xuantian Academy for help to protect you and Aojia!"
After that, Aotian and the others returned to their rooms to conserve their energy for the hard battle ahead.
The battle tomorrow would definitely not be easy, so everyone needed to be fully prepared...
