Yang Feng was now really surprised by his reply, "Why do you think so??"
Guang Fai laughed and asked, "My lord didn't you hastily increase the military power for this future war??"
Yang Feng shook his and asked curiously "No it was for defence" Yang Feng wasn't lying it truly was for defence because when the world had five towns a challenge would appear to every sovereign as to such he hastily ordered the increase in the number of soldiers and difficulty in training to prepare for this challenge.
Guang Fai seems to be a little surprised and asked: "Didn't you predict this conflict??"
Yang Feng shook his head and replied: "I did hastily increase the number of soldiers and difficulty in training but it was for defence not for the war".
Guang Fai kept quiet and watching him Yang Feng asked: "First of all why do you think war is coming??"
Guang Fai immediately replied "My lord at first we thought other villages had sent emissary for improving relationship with us but I remembered the patrolling troops had once reported a feud between four villages. So I decided to company the emissary myself and realised they were getting ready to fight with each other and wanted to improve the relationship with us so you could help them in the conflict and furthermore you had hastily increased the number of soldiers and the difficulty of the training as such I----" but he was interrupted by Yang Feng "You thought I predicted this conflict as such I increased the number of soldiers and difficulty in training" and Guang Fai nodded.
Yang Feng laughed and said, "I didn't predict this conflict at all but I guess opportunity is coming for us but how many villages are participating??"
Guang Fai replied "My lord, Chao Qian had reported more than five villages are participating in this conflict and other neutral villages may try to reap while being the third party. I also think many of the villages won't fully support each other"
Yang Feng thought for a while and said: "If so prepare for the war but we won't be supporting any groups instead we will be attacking neutral villages when other villages are distracted in fighting each other". He didn't want to expose his entire strength as such he could use this opportunity to take down at least one village while other villages are distracted in their own conflict.
Guang Fai saluted and left.
Yang Feng then went to visit the Geng Fang. When he reached Geng Fang stood up and said "Lord your order has already been prepared and the shields too"
Yang Feng was checking the weapons and noticed a weapon. The weapon was a dagger which had the design of a black dragon and emitted a dense bloodthirsty aura. This dagger was without a doubt masterpiece.
When Yang Feng picked up the weapon he was surprised because its weight was like a feather of a bird. Yang Feng was very impressed by the weapon so he asked: "What is the name of this weapon??"
Geng Feng replied "It is called [Death Night]"
Yang Feng picked up an iron sword and slashed it. The [Death Night] was so sharp it easily cut through the sword like a butter.
Yang Feng was very impressed by its sharpness so he asked: "Did you made it??"
Geng Fang replied "No your younger brother gave me this dagger to fix it. Even though I worked day and night I still wasn't able to fix it"
Yang Feng looked at the dagger and activated his [Eye of the Supreme Emperor]
[Item Name: Death Night (Broken)

Note: It grows even stronger in darkness]
The weapon was without a doubt very overpowered even though it couldn't be compared against [Reaper] it still was still overpowered and what's more, it would grow even stronger in the night. This weapon without a doubt made for an assassin. Coupled with the destiny of being an Assassin God the weapon was truly made for him.
Yang Feng asked, "How did he get this weapon??"
Geng Fang shook his head and replied "I don't know but he should be coming for this dagger today"
Yang Feng said "Tell him if he wants his dagger to come to meet me"
Geng Fang nodded and continued to work.
Yang Feng left and headed to his manor and informed Guang Fai to collect the weapons.
After an hour,
Yang Feng was staying in his manor playing with the dagger and Yang Faolan appeared and asked: "Brother why did you take my dagger??"
Yang Feng asked, "Where did you get this dagger??"
Yang Faolan replied "It was given to me by Uncle Ling"
Yang Feng threw the dagger and said "Tell him to meet me" suddenly a voice came "I am already here" and Ling Tian appeared from the shadows. Yang Feng noticed Ling Tian was little different than before so he asked: "Did you advance??"
Ling Tian nodded "Yes I have already advanced to 3rd stage Mortal due to training this little brat my cultivation is very slow". There was no arrogance in his voice but only disappointment.
Yang Feng sucked cold air. This bastard was already at 3rd Stage Mortal while he nearly lost life when he advanced to 1st Stage Mortal and what's more this bastard was calling it slow. People put their life on the line to advance yet this bastard was complaining about advancing to 3rd Stage Mortal in just few weeks. Yang Feng had truly underestimated the talents of X grade talent.
Yang Feng slowly and asked in a small voice "Then Yang Faolan which stage are you in??"
Yang Faolan listened to his small voice and said innocently "Oh me I am just at 2nd Stage Mortal. Cultivating is so boring"
Yang Feng banged the table and shouted in his heart "WHERE THE HELL IS FAIRNESS??"
Yang Feng calmed himself by telling he has the [Heaven Devouring Art] and [Reaper] so he was pretty good too. After calming himself he asked, "Ling Tian how did you get this dagger??". This dagger was obviously not a normal dagger it was also made by a god.
Ling Tian kept quiet not telling anything and finally after some time he said "I don't know"
Yang Feng was little pissed off for a moment and suddenly realised something "Did he killed an Eternal God??". From the description this weapon was made by the Eternal God of Forgery and why would an Eternal God give such a weapon to him. From his information, the Gods and the Humans had a long history of rivalry with each other. Humans tried to enslave the gods while the Gods were too prideful to even talk to an inferior creature like humans. Humans and gods were known to belong rivals and even though Gods were far more powerful than the humans, the humans were far more united than the gods. If the gods were to unite unless the entire Dragons and titans ally with each other, the gods would certainly become rural of the universe but like the Gods, thank god they were prideful. The Gods were so prideful in fact they even hate their own kinds to the bones. It was normal indeed but most of the gods were loner not because of they no friends but because they were too prideful to have friends. That is why a god having friends was in a thousand .
It was said killing the lowest raking god was very difficult not to mention an Eternal God so Killing an Eternal God was literally impossible unless Ling tian found it in some ruins or something but there was a very very very little chance he had killed an Eternal God because there was a chance he may have gained the title of God Killer by killing him. Yang Feng shook his head and said to himself "I don't think he was able to kill an Eternal God".Yang Feng looked calm from the outside but front the inside he was somewhat nervous. The room was quiet until Yang Faolan broke the silence "Big brother Uncle ling has taken other disciples too"
Yang Feng was little shocked but Ling Tian stood like a piece of ice and said "They don't qualify to be my disciple. Only one of the. qualifies to be disciple-in-name only"
Yang Feng was a little surprised and asked: "So does that mean you have taken more than one disciple??"
Ling Tian shook and replied "I am only training them but I haven't taken them as my disciple. They aren't a talent as him for me to take them as disciples"
Yang Feng smiled and said, "Why don't you bring those children here??"
Ling Tian nodded and after some time of talking with eachother, all of them left.
Yang Feng sighed and checked his town stats

He now had more than 250 soldiers which are more than enough to fight against four villages but it wasn't enough to win against them. An average high-level Village had average soldiers of fifty men as such he currently had power enough to rival against five average villages. He could only rival against them but not defeat them.
Guang Fai came and half kneeled, "My lord the previous emissary has returned for our answer"
Yang Feng thought for a while and asked "Reject him if he wants us to join but also inform him we will not join anyone so he can rest assure and assign Chao Qiang to gather more information about the villages"
Guang Fai nodded and left the manor.
After a few days (Game time)
Chao Qiang was able to gather a lot of information. The conflict seems to have started when the soldiers of both villages attacked each other mistaking other parties for beasts. It was unknown who attacked first but both parties were injured and when both village leaders tried to table talk it started a brawl. As such both villages started to make an alliance with the enemies of their enemies to fight against their enemy. The tension had started to increase and other villages decided to stay neutral.
[Shadow Village] and [Hidden Village] Vs [No school Village]
And [Lonely Village]
Other villages who were staying neutral were also eyeing this opportunity to gain something.
While they were eyeing those four villages Yang Feng was eyeing the neutral villages which were eyeing the four villages.
The conflict was soon going to start and when that happens Yang Feng wasn't going let this opportunity go in waste.
Yang Feng ordered the production of 250 swords and shields to Geng Fang. After that, every day was pretty normal except for the growing tension.
As Yang Feng was training, Guang Fai hurriedly came inside the manor and said "My lord the battle is about to begin"
Yang Feng was quickly alarmed and ordered "Inform every soldier to be on guard and prepare a hundred twenty soldiers for battle"
Guang Fai nodded and left.
The battle was about to begin.
