my world double door.

When the last rays of the setting sun fell on Lingyao City, the whole city seemed to be covered with a golden veil. Lingyao City, an ancient city full of mystery and legend, showed a unique charm in the evening.

From a distance, the walls of Lingyao City look particularly majestic under the setting sun. The tall walls are made of solid boulders and still stand tall after years of baptism. The flags on the walls flutter gently in the breeze, as if telling the glorious history of this city.

Walking into the city gate, the guards were still standing firm at their posts, their figures looking particularly tall in the afterglow of the setting sun. Under the city gate, people were constantly coming and going, including merchants rushing home, farmers who had worked all day, and knights who were traveling around. Their faces were all tired, but also full of hope for life.

Entering Lingyao City, the first thing that caught my eye was a wide main street. There were shops on both sides of the street, and the shop signs were shining in various lights under the setting sun. There were blacksmith shops selling weapons, pharmacies selling medicinal herbs, restaurants selling delicious food, and jewelry stores selling all kinds of exquisite accessories. The people in these shops were busy, making the final efforts for the day that was about to end.

In the middle of the street, there is a huge fountain. The water column of the fountain flashes colorful light in the afterglow of the sunset, as if it is a beautiful magic show. The fountain is surrounded by children, who are playing in the water, and their laughter echoes throughout the street.

Walking along the main street, we arrived at the central square of Lingyao City. In the square, a group of pigeons were flying freely in the afterglow of the setting sun. The square was surrounded by some ancient buildings, some of which were temples, some were palaces, and some were libraries. These buildings looked particularly solemn and sacred under the setting sun, as if telling the long history and splendid culture of Lingyao City.

In a corner of the square, a street performer was performing acrobatics. His performance was wonderful and attracted cheers from many audiences. The street performer had a confident smile on his face, and he brought joy and surprise to people with his skills.

On the other side of the square, several elderly people were sitting on benches, quietly enjoying the beauty of the sunset. Their faces were full of traces of time, but their eyes were full of peace and tranquility. They were reminiscing about their past and enjoying this beautiful evening.

Leaving the central square and walking into the alleys of Lingyao City, it is another scene. The alleys are filled with a strong atmosphere of life. There are women washing clothes at the door, old people basking in the sun in the yard, and children chasing and playing in the alleys. Although the houses in the alleys are simple, they are full of warmth and happiness.

At the end of an alley, there is a tavern. There are bursts of laughter coming from the tavern, which are people relaxing after a tiring day. The owner of the tavern greets the guests warmly and serves them delicious food and drinks. The lights in the tavern are particularly warm in the afterglow of the sunset, as if it is a place where people can forget all their worries.

Walking out of the alley, we came to the riverside of Lingyao City. The river water sparkled in the sunset, like a golden ribbon. There were some people fishing by the river, sitting there quietly, waiting for the fish to bite. The willow trees by the river swayed gently in the breeze, and the willow branches brushed across the water, creating ripples.

In the distant sky, the setting sun gradually sinks to the west, and the clouds on the horizon are dyed into colorful colors. There are red, orange, purple, and pink. These colors are intertwined to form a beautiful picture. The evening in Lingyao City is like this picture, full of poetry and romance.

On the outskirts of Lingyao City, there is a beautiful field. In the field, the golden wheat waves sparkle in the afterglow of the setting sun. The farmers are busy all day and are packing up their farm tools to go home. Their faces are filled with the joy of a good harvest. They have brought prosperity and peace to Lingyao City with their hard work.

The evening in Lingyao City is a picture full of life. There are majestic city walls, bustling streets, solemn buildings, joyful squares, warm alleys, beautiful rivers, and fruitful fields. Every corner here is full of stories, and everyone is working hard for their own lives.

As night fell, the lights in Lingyao City lit up one by one. The ancient buildings looked even more mysterious and beautiful under the lights. The number of pedestrians on the streets gradually decreased, but the lights in the shops were still flickering.

In this quiet evening, a piece of news spread throughout the city as quickly as a bombshell.

The Zhao family was destroyed by the Li family!
It was like a bolt of thunder out of the blue, causing a thousand ripples.

Even though the Zhao family had some resource areas occupied by the Li family before, they were still one of the most powerful families in Lingyao City. The destruction of such a large family would bring about unimaginable interests, and no one would not be tempted.

The big families in Lingyao City are even more undercurrents. This is a feast among the first-rate families, but it is nothing for ordinary people.

As for why it is a feast for a first-class family?

The reason is very simple. Although the Zhao family was conquered by the Li family, it does not mean that all the resources of the Zhao family will be swallowed up by the Li family.

Just like now.

"The Li family just had a big fight with the Zhao family. In Lingyao City, everyone practices almost the same martial arts techniques. Except for the slightly different names, the only thing they compete with is the depth of their cultivation."

"Even if the Li family can defeat the Zhao family, which of the Zhao family's martial artists is easy to deal with?"

"The Li family's martial artists must be seriously injured and exhausted at this moment. They may not even be able to fight anymore!"

Similar speculations were heard in every family. Under the cover of night, warriors gathered one after another. The calm night was already filled with undercurrents.

………………

………………

………………

The Zhao family's door was tightly closed, but there were bursts of noise coming from inside. The once majestic and solemn vermilion door was now somewhat dilapidated, and the copper ring on the door had lost its former luster. The plaque above the door, with the two large characters "Zhao Mansion", was also mostly damaged in the battle.

Walking into the Zhao family compound, the chaotic scene is even more shocking. In the courtyard, the flowers and plants have long withered, leaving only a patch of yellow weeds. The once neat stone road is now covered with cracks and dirt, and some places are piled with debris. The pool in the yard has also dried up, and the bottom of the pool is covered with fallen leaves and garbage.

Such a dilapidated scene was naturally caused by the battle between powerful warriors at various martial arts levels.

It should be understood that when martial artists fight, they do not simply use their own strength to emit various attribute abilities, but also affect the heaven and earth.

The energy of the surrounding heaven and earth will naturally affect reality under their extraction. These dried-up pools and dead plants are clear evidence of this.

The main hall was in a mess. Furniture was thrown to the ground at random, and porcelain fragments were scattered all over the floor. The calligraphy and paintings on the wall were also torn off, some were torn in half, and some were stepped on. Many tiles on the roof also fell down, and the sunlight shone through the gaps, shining on this chaotic scene.

The Zhao family members were arguing in the main hall. Some advocated forming an alliance with other families to seek shelter; others believed that they should rely on their own strength to revive the family's glory. Both sides insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in. The quarrel became louder and louder, and some people even started to push and shove. Some people even thought that the Li family was too powerful, so they simply surrendered and begged.

Among the quarreling crowd, there were some young people who looked confused and uneasy. They didn't know what the future of their family would be like, nor did they know where to go.

The Zhao family's martial arts training ground was no longer what it used to be. The weapon racks were tilted and the weapons were scattered all over the ground. Some weapons were rusted, and some were damaged. The sandbags on the martial arts training ground were also torn, and the sand was all over the ground.

Some tribesmen were venting their emotions in the martial arts training ground. They were brandishing their weapons and slashing at the air randomly, as if they wanted to vent all the anger and helplessness in their hearts. But their movements were completely random, they were just venting their emotions blindly.

The Zhao family's study was also in a mess. The books on the bookshelf were thrown all over the floor, some were torn, and some were dirty. The pens, inkstones, and inkstones on the desk were also placed in a mess, and the ink in the inkstone had dried up. The windows of the study were also broken, and the wind blew in from outside, making the papers rustle.

Some clan members searched for the family's secret books and treasures in the study, hoping to find something that could help the family get out of trouble. But their search was clueless and they were just searching blindly.

The Zhao family's garden had also become a wasteland. The once beautiful flowers had long since withered, leaving only some dead branches and leaves. The pavilions and towers in the garden had also become dilapidated, and some had even collapsed. The pool in the garden had also dried up, and the bottom of the pool was covered with moss and garbage.

Some clan members sat silently in the garden, looking at the dilapidated scene, their hearts filled with sadness and helplessness. They recalled the good old days and lamented why the fate of the family was so rough.

The Zhao family's backyard was in even greater chaos. Servants were running around, some were packing their luggage and preparing to leave the Zhao family, while others were snatching valuables. The well in the yard had also dried up, with buckets and carrying poles thrown aside at random.

Some clansmen tried to stop the servants from escaping in the backyard, but their efforts seemed so powerless. The servants had lost confidence in the Zhao family and were unwilling to stay in this chaotic family.

The Zhao family's ancestral hall had also lost its former solemnity and sacredness. The tablets in the hall were placed randomly, and some had fallen down. The incense in the incense burner had also gone out, leaving only some ashes. Many tiles on the roof of the hall had also fallen off, and the sun shone through the gaps, shining on this chaotic scene.

Some tribesmen prayed in the ancestral hall, hoping that their ancestors would protect their family and help them get through this difficult time. But their prayers seemed so pale and powerless, because they themselves did not know what the future of their family would be like.

In this chaotic Zhao family, some outsiders took the opportunity to sneak in. Some of them were thieves who stole the Zhao family's property; some were spies of the enemy who tried to find out about the Zhao family's situation. The appearance of these outsiders made the chaos of the Zhao family even worse.

The chaos of the Zhao family in Lingyao City is not only material chaos, but also spiritual chaos. The Zhao family used to be united and worked together for the prosperity of the family. But now the Zhao family is caught in the double dilemma of internal division and external pressure.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the ruins of the Zhao family, which looked particularly desolate. But in this chaos, some clansmen began to reflect on the fate of the family. They realized that only by uniting and working together can the Zhao family get out of trouble and rise again.

"Everyone, stay where you are, drop your weapons, anyone who moves will be killed!"

"Everyone, stay where you are, drop your weapons, anyone who moves will be killed!"

"Everyone, stay where you are, drop your weapons, anyone who moves will be killed!"

Suddenly, loud shouts came from outside the Zhao family's territory. The Li family's warriors who had won the battle with the Zhao family's warriors in the outside world had already arrived in the Zhao family's territory. Under the shouting of some Li family members at the warrior level, the remaining people in the Zhao family's territory suddenly changed their expressions.

Some people remained silent, some slipped away quietly, and some tried to organize their forces to retreat and make a comeback.

"Uh……"

But in the darkness, the vanguard warriors of the Li family who had arrived earlier killed all those who tried to leave, regardless of their purpose, except for the women. The women were driven back to the clan’s land to wait for reception.

Those family members who gathered to look for the Zhao family were quickly strangled to death, and the Li family warriors quickly moved into the entire Zhao family territory and controlled the entire area.

However, everyone looked serious and did not relax because of the victory in the war against the Zhao family.

Pills were distributed to the hands of the Li family warriors who had just experienced a great battle. Except for some who were guarding the prisoners, the rest of them all took the pills and swallowed them quickly, sitting cross-legged on the spot to recover the strength consumed in the battle.

"My dear nephew Li Yang, this battle is really thanks to you, but now is far from the end of the battle. The Zhao family has been destroyed, and the other families are sure that we are seriously injured. They will definitely send warriors to share a piece of the pie. In our current state, it is difficult to win against the intact fighting forces of these families."

In the center of the Li family, Li Changwu, the head of the Li family, looked at Li Yang as if he was looking at some precious treasure. He said to him with a smile on his face: "So, even if you win, you can't relax. What matters most is how much cake you can get and how many resources you can eat."

"Winning the battle does not mean we have achieved the final victory."

"Being able to keep and take away the Zhao family's resources from these families is the real victory."

Li Changwu spoke with emotion, saying that this was the reason why these families in Lingyao City had maintained a balance with each other for so many years.

Even if you can take it, can you defend it?

You go through so much trouble, and maybe even the death of a few elders, to capture the things you want. But then another family comes and demands your conquest resources when you're hurt. What will you do?
So, in most cases, no one dares to take action.

This time, when the Zhao family took action, they had already been eroded to the limit, so they gritted their teeth and fought back.

But the result is already clear. (End of this chapter)
