At this moment, figures stood eagerly, awaiting the clan leader’s next command. However, the clan leader seemed to be at a loss. Pairs of eyes, filled with confusion, turned towards Liu Zhengzong. Even Liu Zhengyuan, standing right beside him, looked at his elder brother with a puzzled expression. Why not go?
Liu Zhengzong was bewildered! The voice in his mind sounded again, saying, “There is no need to go. Protect the Liu Clan!” Liu Zhengzong, standing awkwardly in front of the many clan warriors, paused, coughed, and then continued, “It is our duty to help the Shang Clan!”
“But…” he added, “The Shang Clan is already powerful, and the Dark Soul Hall is no match for them. There is no need for us to rush. Let us be on high alert and wait for my command.”
Huh?
What?
Not in a hurry?
The battle between the Shang Clan and the Dark Soul Hall must have already begun, and yet they were not in a hurry? If they arrived too late, they wouldn’t even get a share of the spoils!
After speaking, Liu Zhengzong vanished in a flash, leaving the bewildered Liu Clan’s strong warriors and experts behind. Liu Zhengyuan scratched his head in confusion. What was really going on?
Liu Zhengzong quickly entered the underground chamber, rushing to the depths of the secret palace, and arrived outside a palace, panting heavily, “Ancestor, why…?”
“I am not in a position to act right now!” the deep voice sounded again.
Liu Zhengzong hurriedly said, “We don’t need you to act, Ancestor. You are our clan’s trump card. If there is really a battle among the Wanfa realm cultivators, there is also my Third Uncle…”
The Liu Clan naturally had a Wanfa realm cultivator—Liu Ao’nan, who was also a figure publicly declared to be deceased. Liu Ao’nan was a known trump card of the Liu Clan among the Five Great Clans’ high-level members. However, the ancestor in front of him was the true trump card of the Liu Clan, unknown to everyone else.
“He can’t go either,” the deep voice continued, “You and Ao’nan should stay in the mansion and not go out!”
“Huh?” Liu Zhengzong still couldn’t understand.
“Go, the enemy has arrived!” the voice said.
Enemy? Where did the enemy come from?
Liu Zhengzong left the secret palace in confusion and arrived outside the chamber. Liu Zhengyuan, looking anxious, rushed over and shouted, “Brother, it’s bad!”
“What’s the rush?” Liu Zhengzong asked, displeased.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of howling wind rose. Above the Liu Clan’s mansion, a shadow loomed over the vast sky. Seeing the enormous eight-winged creature with a hundred-zhang body soaring a hundred meters above the Liu Mansion, Liu Zhengzong’s face turned ugly.
“It’s that beast from the Qingyun Academy!” Liu Zhengyuan cursed.
No wonder the ancestor had suddenly stopped him! Why was this beast here? Was it sent by the Qingyun Academy?
But just at that moment, the sound of howling wind rose again, and another eight-winged Chi Lian Jiao appeared, circling above the Liu Mansion.
Both of these beasts had arrived! Wasn’t one of them supposed to be dying from poison? How could it still be so lively?
These two beasts were fifth-stage spiritual beasts, in their true mature phase, with the strength of the Wanfa realm! This… the Liu Clan had no chance of going anywhere! If they sent people to help the Shang Clan, these two beasts could wreak havoc in the Liu Mansion, causing at least half of the clan members to be killed or injured.
“Damn it!” Liu Zhengyuan couldn’t help but curse under his breath.
What did the Qingyun Academy mean by this? Favoring Ye Wushuang?
Damn it! If it weren’t for the death of the Five Great Clans’ senior council members, that old man Yun Xingjian would never dare to do this.
In fact, Liu Zhengyuan had really misunderstood Yun Xingjian. At this moment, Yun Xingjian was blocking the Qin Clan, and the arrival of Chi Yuan and Chi Xuan was with Ye Wushuang’s approval!
The poison in Chi Xuan had been absorbed by Ye Wushuang and would not burst out. Of course, it did not have the strength of the Wanfa realm, but its massive form was enough to intimidate people. Moreover, Chi Yuan was a true Wanfa realm being.
If the Liu Clan wanted to help the Shang Clan, they could just go. Chi Yuan alone was enough to cause chaos in the Liu Mansion! Even if the Liu Clan’s Wanfa realm cultivator intervened, a fight between Chi Yuan and the Wanfa realm cultivator would still leave the Liu Clan in ruins!
This was the terrifying pressure of a Wanfa realm existence! In the Qingyun Empire, those in the Wanfa realm were like gods.
At this moment, a figure arrived beside Liu Zhengzong and Liu Zhengyuan.
“Third Uncle!” both Liu Zhengzong and Liu Zhengyuan greeted respectfully.
This person was Liu Ao’nan, the publicly known Wanfa realm strong cultivator of the Liu Clan! Liu Zhengzong and Liu Zhengyuan’s father was the previous generation’s old clan leader, who was killed by one of the Ye Clan’s eighteen heavenly guards during the siege of the Ye Clan. Over the years, Third Uncle Liu Ao’nan had broken through to the Wanfa realm, becoming the protector of the Liu Clan!
“Hmm,” Liu Ao’nan said, “I have also understood the ancestor’s intention. You two, come with me and watch over this couple.”
“Yun Xingjian, that bastard!” Liu Zhengzong cursed again.
“Not necessarily Yun Xingjian,” Liu Ao’nan said, “These two are originally very loyal to Ye Wentian. The injured one was once trying to save a member of the Ye Clan. Now that the Ye Clan is rising again, these two… they would probably protect the Ye Clan at all costs, even without Yun Xingjian’s orders!”
Hearing this, Liu Zhengzong’s face turned ugly again as he said, “Then we won’t be able to help the Shang Clan annihilate the Dark Soul Hall? In that case… won’t the benefits be taken by the Qin Clan, Chu Clan, and Xiao Clan?”
