MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1392 - 367: Kai Family’s Reaction

The sudden interruption by the soldiers broke the fervent scene, drawing everyone’s attention to the intruder as the bustling atmosphere quieted down.

Today’s banquet had already been ordered that unless it was a matter of great importance, no one was to disturb the proceedings.

The Kai Family Master coldly stared at the soldier before him, his voice cutting through the air like the chill of winter: "What is it? Speak!"

Though he only uttered those four words, his expression and eyes harbored a deeper meaning, simply translating to: If the situation isn’t as severe as imagined, you’ll die today!

The soldier knelt on the ground, cold sweat forming on his forehead under the deathly gaze of the Family Head, the pressure truly enormous.

Yet this news came too suddenly, too explosively; he had no choice but to interrupt the banquet, delaying further meant certain death for him too.

"Fa...Family Head, Four Waters Pass has fallen!"

"Huh?!"

The Kai Family Master suddenly felt bewildered; was he drunk just now?

The other attendees in the banquet hall also glanced at their cups with peculiar expressions; no, while this wine was good, it couldn’t be that intoxicating!

Seeing everyone’s expressions filled with peculiar confusion directed at him, the soldier also opened his mouth, falling into bewilderment.

No, how could such a shocking message like Four Waters Pass falling elicit such calm reactions from everyone? The scout delivered the news urgently at top speed to the Kai Family Intelligence Department, and the Intelligence Head barged into the Holy City, but the soldier blocked him at the entrance. Logically, the Family Head and others shouldn’t be aware of this; why is there no reaction?

"Fa...Family Head, Four Waters Pass has fallen!"

The soldier repeated uncertainly.

Finally, everyone confirmed that it wasn’t them being drunk, but that Four Waters Pass had indeed fallen!

What?!

Four Waters Pass has fallen?

Four Waters Pass has fallen!

The Kai Family Master widened his eyes, pulling the soldier up from the ground fiercely, and shouted, "Four Waters Pass has fallen? How is that possible!"

"Fa...Family Head, this is intelligence personally delivered by the Head of the Intelligence Department, please take a look."

The soldier hurriedly presented the intelligence in his hand to the Kai Family Master.

The Kai Family Master seized the intelligence and flung the soldier several meters away.

Opening the report, the Kai Family Master scanned through the lines, his gaze gradually darkening, while everyone else at the banquet anxiously watched him. This fall of Four Waters Pass indicated that the Kai Family hadn’t fully obtained control over the entire 13th Domain; their family still had rivals!

Having read the information, the Kai Family Master angrily retorted: "Good! Good! Good! A bunch of remnants, dare to stir up trouble again, truly seeking death! Seeking death!"

This statement also made the higher-ups present understand that it was indeed those remnants wiped out by their family, and it seemed like a coalition of several families, rather than a single remnant, could orchestrate seizing Four Waters Pass.

But the key issue was, the top combat force amongst the remnants of Eleven Clans was listed on their family’s must-kill list.

Each strong figure had been eradicated one by one, and Four Waters Pass had Kai Family’s top expert Kai Changtian stationed there; who on earth could defeat Kai Changtian?

Overwhelm Kai Changtian with sheer numbers?

This must be a joke.

Though doubts lingered in everyone’s minds, none dared to question the enraged Family Head at this moment.

The Kai Family Master continuously took deep breaths, striving to calm his emotions, and after a while, he solemnly said: "Great Elder and Kai Siwen/Kai Dao Ming stay behind, today’s banquet is temporarily suspended; everyone please return to your posts. We may face a great war soon, so I hope everyone prepares in advance. Additionally, summon Kai Fanen inside."

Soon, the hall was cleared, leaving the Intelligence Director Kai Fanen/Kai Family Grand Marshal Kai Siwen/Kai Family’s top military strategist Kai Dao Ming and the Kai Family Great Elder seated around the Kai Family Master.

The Kai Family Master turned to Kai Fanen: "Fanen, explain the current situation to them."

Kai Fanen nodded, turned to the other three, and began: "Half a month ago, remnants of Eleven Clans gathered nearly twenty thousand troops and launched a surprise attack on Four Waters Pass, led by the Xia Family’s fugitive disciple Xia Yuanlang, accompanied by a mysterious strong figure. They first stormed the city walls, followed by Lord Chang Tian personally confronting the mysterious figure, ultimately defeated and slain, with Four Waters Pass falling within a day, soldiers retreating in chaos, now being reorganized at Dragon Tiger Pass."

After hearing Kai Fanen’s brief account, Kai Dao Ming frowned and questioned: "Mysterious strong figure? Hearing these four words from you, the Director of Intelligence, is truly ironic!"

At the remarks, Kai Fanen was speechless; Kai Dao Ming had always harbored a grudge against him for being appointed Director of Intelligence. Though Kai Dao Ming was the Kai Family’s renowned chief military strategist, he held no substantial power, solely offered counsel to the Family Master without deriving any pleasure from authority.

During the Intelligence Department’s foundation, both Kai Fanen and Kai Dao Ming were nominated candidates, decided by votes from the Kai Family’s high-ranking members.

Ultimately, Kai Fanen won with an overwhelming majority.

This caused Kai Dao Ming to feel resentful toward Kai Fanen, believing the latter must have engaged in behind-the-scenes maneuvers, resulting in Kai Dao Ming seizing every opportunity over the years to sabotage Kai Fanen.

At this moment, not only Kai Fanen but everyone felt speechless; in times like this, such issues should not arise, it truly lacks foresight!

No wonder the Clan Leader never wanted this guy to hold power.

While Kai Dao Ming had many cunning ideas, his vision was too narrow, unfit for significant roles.

No wonder during the Intelligence Director elections, the Family Head explicitly instructed that Kai Dao Ming shouldn’t be elected.

"Dao Ming, now is not the time for mutual blame; with the fall of Four Waters Pass, we need not only reclaim it but seize this opportunity to eradicate these remnants completely!" The Kai Family Master said solemnly: "Regretfully, these remnants even dared kill Chang Tian!"

Indeed, for the death of Kai Changtian, everyone felt a wave of sorrow; firstly, they were all direct members of the Kai Family, maintaining a rather good relationship, secondly, Kai Changtian’s top-tier combat prowess was an enormous loss for the Kai Family, since such figures couldn’t simply be cultivated, even if attempted, the cultivation process would be dreadfully lengthy.

"Well, about that mysterious strong figure, I have some speculation." Kai Fanen took over the discussion and continued: "According to investigations by the Intelligence Department, those lowly folks from the Dark Continent appear to have consolidated towards our 13th Domain. If those outside could contend against Kai Changtian, it could only be Qin Hong and Lu Hong from Da Qin, and given the opponent’s similar physique to our Titan Clan, the mysterious strong figure is most likely Qin Hong, though it doesn’t rule out hidden strong figures from those Eleven Clans that aren’t on our registry. However, I personally lean towards it being Qin Hong."

Kai Fanen certainly couldn’t lean towards Eleven Clans having strong figures not registered, for this would imply errors in past century-long intelligence works, such issues could be minor or major depending on whether anyone seizes the opportunity for sabotage. Though Kai Fanen knows not others, Kai Dao Ming would certainly seize such opportunities to create trouble.

"Master of Da Qin, Qin Hong..." The Kai Family Master murmured the name: "Had it not been for internal struggles within our 13th Domain, this boy would have been killed long ago; unexpected that before we sought trouble with him, he came seeking us. If Qin Hong does indeed support those remnants behind the scenes, then surely the Twelve Domains from the Dark Continent will also partake in these remnants’ actions, although it’s somewhat pressuring, it’s also a chance to resolve all issues at once."

The Kai Family Master pondered briefly, then spoke: "Everyone, if we, the Kai Family, survive this battle, it could be a windfall; however, devising further strategies meticulously is necessary, ensuring utmost thoroughness in capturing all these remnants!"

Subsequently, the five engaged in secret deliberations, continuously analyzing the current situation, planning forthcoming strategies, preparing for the impending war.
