As I stepped out of the courtyard, I suddenly felt surrounded. Shadows rushed at me from the darkness!
They quickly pinned me to the ground, and a cold dagger pressed against my head. "Everyone stay still! If anyone moves, I'll take this guy out!"
"What’s going on?" I was drenched in cold sweat.
"Help me take down the Dong Family. After all, your hands are already stained with blood; what's one more?"
"Who are you?"
"We're on the same side. You don't need to know too much..."
"Your friends' lives are in your hands. You decide!" With that, he ordered those holding me down to let me raise my head. I glanced around with my peripheral vision, and a buzzing sensation filled my head as I saw Xiao Xiao, Wan, Lu Jianguo, Big Mouth Lee, and even Furball—all of them were restrained!
I had already lost too much recently; these were the most important friends in my life that I couldn't afford to lose again!
Moreover, I had already taken action against the Dong Family to avenge Old Master Zhou Daming!
Given the situation, I could only nod in agreement. "What’s in it for me if I do this?"
"Zhengyang is involved. If you take out Dong Ba, the sworn enemy of the Sun and Moon Alliance, he can guarantee your safety."
Zhengyang? Why wouldn't he come to me directly? Why go through all this trouble? This wasn't his style; I couldn't believe it. "Zhengyang?"
"That's right! There are some things he can't handle directly. You know how it is between factions—no one is clean! Even if Zhengyang falls, he'll still protect you! This is also your declaration of loyalty to the Sun and Moon Alliance!"
His words reminded me of some of Zhengyang's actions from that day, and I began to believe him a little.
"How can I trust your words?"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, but do you really think you can escape Rongcheng without our help?"
With that, the person threw a hand-shaped object towards me!
That hand-shaped object turned out to be a declaration of war from the Dong Family, intending to capture all of us in one fell swoop. It seemed that the Dong Family still had some loose ends to tie up; they were indeed a big fish!
"Let my friend go, and I'll agree to your terms..."
"Good, that's a man!"
As soon as those words left his mouth, I felt the weight on my body vanish. Then, a faint sound of footsteps echoed, and gradually the entire courtyard returned to calm. Before long, Big Mouth Lee and the others rushed over to help me up.
I thought to myself, has the Dong Family Head declared war on me?
I narrowed my eyes slightly.
Fear?
I wasn't afraid; people die every day. Why should I fear him?
Yield?
Would yielding even be useful?
It was at that moment I suddenly realized that the matter concerning the Dong Family was nothing but a trap; they were intent on eliminating me! The Dong Family had been setting obstacles for me from the very beginning, repeatedly trying to take my life. This time, they even brazenly extended their claws towards the Sun and Moon Alliance. There had long been deep-seated enmity between us, and whether it was driven by profit or hatred, neither side had any way out!
From covert struggles to overt aggression, reaching the point of formal declaration of war was entirely expected; it did not surprise me at all!
After hesitating for a moment, I called Bald Qiang and instructed him to convey a message to the Sun and Moon Alliance.
My message was simple: have Bald Qiang deliver a straightforward ultimatum—if the Dong Family's dogs were not exterminated, then my name would be read backward from that day forth!
When read forward, my surname remained the same; when read backward, it would no longer be that surname.
Such words were harsh and could only come from someone who had made a tremendous decision. If I hadn’t been pushed to the brink and burdened with blood feuds, I would never have uttered such a thing!
The meaning of my words was clear: if the Dong Family's dogs were not wiped out, then my name would be written backward!
I instructed Bald Qiang to relay my message to the Sun and Moon Alliance without any alterations; the meaning was unmistakable—a declaration of war!
If the people of the Dong Family were barking in the southeast, then I, as a member of the Xia Family, could no longer pretend to be oblivious or mute; it was time for me to make my voice heard.
Complete annihilation—leave no trace behind! Though it may provoke both man and god alike, I fear nothing!
This statement reflected my stance.
These words came from my mouth and reached the ears of the Sun and Moon Alliance as well as all my peers; they would never change. It signified that from now on, the conflict between me and the Dong Family would escalate into an all-out war. No one needed to hide anymore or cooperate begrudgingly under the guise of righteousness; when we met, it would be a fight to the death—either you die or I live!
After hanging up, I leaned against the car and lightly closed my eyes, sighing at the dimly lit sky for quite some time.
This time, I was left physically and mentally exhausted, shaken to the core. I had been feeling weary, but the declaration of war from the Dong Family served as a powerful stimulant. In that moment of contemplation, the urge to kill surged within me!
If the enemy is not eliminated, how can I let go of this world?
The fighting spirit began to ignite within me. I thought to myself, with less than two months left to live, whether I could change my fate remained uncertain. If I were to strike decisively now, the resentment within me would spiral out of control. This was a shackle that bound me. Now that I had officially declared war on the Dong Family and torn off the mask, if I, as the backbone of our side, could not wield a blade and carve a path through thorns, it would be a significant constraint for us!
It seemed I needed to heal quickly, make meticulous arrangements, and find reasons to eliminate them; otherwise, time would run out.
At that moment, I truly felt the desire to borrow another five hundred years. No, I didn’t need five hundred; just ten more years from fate would allow me to flatten the Dong Family!
When I opened my eyes again, my spirit had noticeably improved. I glanced at Lu Jianguo and hesitated before asking him, “Uncle Lu, what are our plans moving forward?”
Lu Jianguo's heart trembled. “Child, do you still rely on the Sun and Moon Alliance? That’s unreliable. From what I know of them, they are no different from the Water Blue Sect!”
This matter had always weighed heavily on my mind; I had been somewhat uneasy about it.
My understanding of the Sun and Moon Alliance was practically nonexistent. I was completely in the dark about their internal situation—blind as a bat would be an understatement. Since Lu Jianguo could say such things, he must have some insight into the Sun and Moon Alliance's true nature. He was certainly not someone simple!
“The Dong Family is currently severely weakened and won’t recover anytime soon! They will likely plan to retreat to their hometowns to avoid the storm. Therefore, if you want to deal with them, you’ll have to head towards the countryside. Since we’ve come this far, there’s no turning back. Don’t worry too much about the Sun and Moon Alliance; you will eventually have dealings with them. It’s better not to concern yourself with them too much right now! Revenge is not a trivial matter!”
Yes, this is no trivial matter!!
