A head-on conflict had erupted between the Qin Dynasty and the Cottage, shocking the entire Eastern Barren Territory . Countless people waited for the Qin Dynasty to respond .
Qin Ge, the third prince of Qin Dynasty, was killed by the Cottage when he went there to ask for Ye Wuchen . If Qin Dynasty did not respond to this, everyone in the world would think that Qin Dynasty was not qualified to unify Eastern Barren Territory after all . Just when everyone was discussing it, some news spread from the Qin Imperial Palace .
Qin Dynasty officially announced to the world the seven sins of the Cottage . Firstly, the Cottage was overbearing in its behavior and had been killing the innocent . Gu Dongliu had eliminated a top-tier force in Eastern Barren Territory . This was cruel and inhumane .
Secondly, Cottage disciples had robbed others of their possessions . In Chaoge City, Ye Futian and Yu Sheng had taken the treasures from Yin Family by force, namely the Five Element Rod and the demonic tripod .
Thirdly, Cottage disciples had been bullying others because of their status and did whatever they wanted . They had once forced He Xirou, the daughter of the fifth lord of Royal Xuan Temple, to kill herself . Furthermore, they still did not leave the matter at that, eventually killing the Royal Xuan Temple disciple Luo Junlin, his father, and many others who had a deep resentment for Ye Futian . They were brutal and killed everyone who tried to oppose them .
Fourthly, the Cottage protected murderers, in particular, Ye Wuchen . They ignored the decision of Fuyun Sword Clan and even killed the people from Qin Dynasty who went there .

There were still the fifth, sixth and seventh sins . It was as if the Cottage had done much evil and could not be forgiven .
Qin Dynasty announced that they would send their army to the Divine Capital and attack the Cottage in order to protect Eastern Barren Territory . In addition, they invited all the powerful forces to gather in the Qin Imperial City and discuss the situation in Eastern Barren Territory . They also hoped that the leaders of these forces could attend themselves to determine the future together .
The news spread and shook the entire Eastern Barren Territory fiercely . Were the most powerful forces in the Eastern Barren Territory finally going to collide head-on with each other?
It seemed unlikely that the Cottage would be able to fight against the Dragon Army of Qin Dynasty . Apart from that, the Qin Dynasty invited all the powerful forces to gather in the Qin Imperial City . They probably wanted to attack the Cottage with the aid from these forces . Of course, the Qin Dynasty did not say it directly but only claimed that they would discuss the situation together . However, everyone knew the truth .
Qin Dynasty had already officially declared war on the Cottage, so the various forces obviously could not reject the Qin Dynasty's invitation . At the moment, the Qin Dynasty was extremely powerful and it had easily destroyed the Liu Kingdom . Even if they did not want to fight with the Qin Dynasty, they had to give Qin Dynasty some face . Moreover, the battle between the Qin Dynasty and the Cottage would be considered a top-tier one in the Eastern Barren Territory . Everyone wanted to watch it for themselves .
The Eastern Barren Territory was stirred up . Immediately, the cultivators from various top forces left their places . The leaders of many forces also departed themselves and headed towards the Qin Imperial City, leading their fellow members . Even they would be involved in the great change that was imminent in Eastern Barren Territory .
The Cottage, of course, also received the news, but it was expected . Qin Dynasty wanted to rule the world and Gu Dongliu killed Qin Ge directly . This was almost like declaring war . How could the Qin Dynasty not respond to it?

The Qin Imperial City was filled with many talented people . For a moment, the forces in the Eastern Barren Territory all gathered here . It was not just the top forces; cultivators from various forces reached one after another, especially those subsidiary forces under the Qin Dynasty .
Very quickly, news spread from the Qin Imperial City: Fuyun Sword Clan had arrived . Even the leader of Fuyun Sword Clan, together with several summit lords, was here . Afterward, the people from Royal Xuan Temple also arrived . All the five lords were present . Then, the leaders of Ji Family, Witch Clan, Moon Clan, and many others arrived at the Qin Imperial City one by one .
There had never been such a grand occasion in Eastern Barren Territory before . Many leaders from top forces were here themselves . This was clearly because of the fact that Qin Dynasty had declared war to the Cottage . The influence of this was way too big, as it would very likely determine the future of Eastern Barren Territory and affect the entire situation . It would determine what would happen in the future and even where the various people would end up in . In such a situation, even the leaders of different forces must pay absolute attention . After all, not long ago, a person who had been as famous as them, namely the king of Liu Kingdom, died in the Qin Imperial Palace .
This would be a huge change that had never happened in Eastern Barren Territory in the past hundreds of years . Qin Dynasty and the Cottage would be the main players leading to this change, while everyone else would also be involved trying to maximize their benefits .
At the moment, the people from Royal Xuan Temple were gathered somewhere in the Qin Imperial Palace, including the few lords . The first lord of Royal Xuan Temple was wearing a loose robe and had black hair that filled his head . From him, one could feel a very powerful temperament .
"First lord, if Qin Dynasty asks us to attack the Cottage with them, what should we do?" someone suddenly asked . After Qin Ge died, they guessed that a great battle would probably happen between the two forces . Because of the relationship between them and the Cottage, they would surely not be on the Cottage's side . However, the question was whether they should participate in the battle at all .
Qin Dynasty declared war on the Cottage first and claimed that the Cottage had committed seven sins . Then, they gathered all the forces in Eastern Barren Territory and invited all the cultivators, which was really cunning of them . If Qin Dynasty asked Royal Xuan Temple to participate, what should they do?

"What do you think?" the first lord asked .
He Yulu's eyes sparkled . Obviously, he hoped that they would fight against the Cottage, but he did not dare to voice his opinion so easily at the moment .
"Clearly, we cannot participate in the battle easily," Xia Luo suddenly said .
"Xia Luo, what's your opinion?" the first lord asked .
Xia Luo looked at his master . Bowing, he replied, "Qin Dynasty and the Cottage are both extremely strong . They probably both want to unify Eastern Barren Territory . Even though we cannot prevent this from happening, it will be dangerous for us to get involved easily . Furthermore, after Qin Dynasty eliminated the Cottage, Eastern Barren Territory will be unified . We will definitely need to benefit sufficiently from this so that in the future, we will have the same position in Eastern Barren Territory . "
"You think that Eastern Barren Territory will certainly be unified?" the first lord asked .
"Yes, master . Since the Qin Dynasty wiped out the Liu Kingdom so simply, it can do the same to other forces . After all, there is a huge difference between their strongest cultivators and those from other forces . I think that only the College Cottage can deal with the Qin Dynasty, and this general trend cannot be stopped . Master, we can only try to get more benefits in order to secure our position . After all, even if Qin Dynasty unifies Eastern Barren Territory, it will make no difference to us as long as they do not control us directly," Xia Luo said slowly .
The first lord squinted and his eyes sparkled . He could understand Xia Luo's words, but it was still somewhat difficult for him to accept the reality . Moreover, they would surely need to pay a price first before being able to benefit . This meant that ultimately, they still had to fight for Qin Dynasty .
In another pavilion, the disciples of the Moon Clan were all gathered together . Even the leader of Moon Clan was present . At the moment, a group of ladies was gazing into the distance . They were all exceptionally pretty, especially the first lady . It was as if she was an ethereal fairy that should not even exist in the mortal world .
"Leader, Virgin Chu Yaoyao and Qin Li had been very close to each other . They had already confirmed their relationship . When the Liu Kingdom was destroyed, Chu Yaoyao even followed Qin Li there . I am worried that we have already been tied to Qin Dynasty since then," a lady said .
After all, the Virgin of Moon Clan had a very high status and her words were often influential . She could represent Moon Clan when she was outside .
Goddess Wangyue did not say anything but her eyes sparkled .
Chu Yaoyao had been very close to Qin Li and was already Qin Li's girlfriend . On the other hand, another genius from Moon Clan was the girlfriend of Ye Futian, a Cottage disciple . This was indeed very tricky . How should they handle the situation?
Apart from them, all the leaders in Eastern Barren Territory were thinking of the same question: if Qin Dynasty asked them to attack the Cottage, what should they do?
Qin Dynasty was really too cunning . Instead of just declaring war, they summoned everyone in Eastern Barren Territory to this place .
