Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

"Patriarch, bad news!"

Bam!

The door of the Patriarch's Hall was slammed open, and an elder of the Sikong family rushed in, panic-stricken.

"Why are you so flustered? It's unbecoming of our dignity!"

On the high seat, Sikong Xuanji frowned slightly, reprimanding with some displeasure.

The elder fell to his knees, face pale, and said:

"Patriarch, Chen Zhixing has already led the Ziwei Chen Family army, departing last night at 7 p.m. In just five hours, they've crossed hundreds of thousands of miles overnight, traversing numerous Great States, and reached Huai State!"

"Now... they might already be at the gates, Yanbian City is in danger!"

As soon as these words fell.

The entire hall erupted in an uproar.

"What?! They left last night?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be three days later?"

Sikong Xuanji suddenly slapped the armrest of his chair, his face showing both shock and anger.

"That little bastard tricked me?"

Before Sikong Xuanji could ask further.

"Report—!"

Another servant in blue clothes dashed into the hall, face full of panic.

"What now?"

Sikong Xuanji suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.

"Patriarch, Yanbian City has fallen, Guardian Envoy Sikong Qingpu has been slain, and the Ziwei Chen Family banner is already raised on Yanbian City's walls!"

The servant in blue clothes 'bam' knelt before Sikong Xuanji, speaking tremblingly.

"What? So fast?!"

Sikong Xuanji's expression changed.

How long has it been?

He had just received news of the Ziwei Chen Family's expedition, impending arrival at the gates.

And Yanbian City is already fallen?

"Damn it! Was Sikong Qingpu just lazing around? Yanbian City is the largest border city in Huai State, and the City Defense Array was refined at great cost, even a Nirvana Realm expert attacking full force wouldn't break it without a solid hour of assault!"

"How did it fall so quickly?"

Sikong Xuanji shouted angrily, veins throbbing on his forehead.

"Patriarch, I don't know..."

The servant in blue clothes knelt before Sikong Xuanji, sweat beading on his forehead.

"I'm asking you, how many centaurs did the Ziwei Chen Family dispatch this time? What's their combat strength?" Sikong Xuanji was about to inquire further.

"Report! Tianyong City is breached! Guardian Envoy Sikong Qinghui has been slain!"

"Report! Longhui City is breached! Guardian Envoy Sikong Qingyang has been slain!!"

"Report! Anyang City is breached! Guardian envoy..."

The entire Sikong Family was thrown into utter chaos.

From time to time, intelligence arrived like a flurry of snowflakes, finally reaching the Patriarch's Hall and Sikong Xuanji's ears.

"Report! Baoqing City is breached! Guardian Envoy Sikong Qingyu has been slain..."

"The Ziwei Chen Family is now a thousand miles away, and... they might be here soon..."

With the last blue-clothed servant's trembling lips, the hall was filled with kneeling figures.

Sikong Xuanji collapsed into his chair with a thud, his face already a pale white at some unknown time.

The elders in the hall also had helpless expressions, saying nothing.

Fast!

Too fast!

The Ziwei Chen Family quickly pierced through numerous Great States and swept across hundreds of thousands of miles!

Then, like a storm, they directly swept through all cities in Huai State, akin to a bolt of lightning, advancing towards the ancestral land!

The City Protection Arrays couldn't even manage to temporarily hinder them!

This speed even exceeded the speed of information dissemination!

Thump—!

Suddenly, Sikong Xuanji spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Patriarch!"

"Patriarch!!"

In an instant, the elders in the hall saw this and rushed to support Sikong Xuanji.

"I'm... I'm fine."

Sikong Xuanji waved his hand weakly, struggling to stand up.

"I ask you, what is the strength of the Ziwei Chen Family members dispatched this time, why have the cities fallen so quickly?"

Sikong Xuanji looked down at the kneeling figures in the hall.

Originally, according to his plan, when the Ziwei Chen Family attacked, each defense line within Huai State would serve as a barrier to weaken the Ziwei Chen Family's strength.

When the city was about to fall, he would order the Guardian Envoy to evacuate via the Teleportation Array, leaving an empty city for the Ziwei Chen Family.

By that point, after painstakingly breaching the city, the Ziwei Chen Family would face a city evacuated by the entire Sikong Family.

And when the Ziwei Chen Family finally arrived at the ancestral land.

The Ziwei Chen Family army would be weary and exhausted, body and mind fatigued.

While the Sikong Family would be ready to strike, ultimately crushing all invading enemies!

However.

He didn't anticipate that Chen Zhixing would advance sooner!

This guy not only tricked him but deceived the world!

Of course.

He had considered this possibility, but hadn't paid it much attention.

What truly unsettled him was how swiftly the cities with City Protection Arrays had fallen!

Fast enough for the Guardian Envoys inside to not even have the chance to use the Teleportation Array and were all killed along the way!

"I... I don't know either, but I heard that among the Ziwei Chen Family's army, there is a young girl with a hammer who effortlessly shattered every City Defense Array!"

A blue-clothed servant bowed his head, not daring to look at Sikong Family.

"So, we've had our cities fall and lost so many Guardian Envoys, and we still don't fully understand the combat strength of the Ziwei Chen Family's army this time?"

Sikong Xuanji felt a darkness before his eyes, almost fainting in anger.

"Don't ask anymore."

Just then, an elderly voice sighed.
