At that moment, figures stood with bated breath, awaiting the clan leader’s next command. However, the clan leader seemed to be at a loss. Pairs of eyes, filled with confusion, turned toward Liu Zhengzong. Even Liu Zhengyuan, standing right beside him, wore a puzzled expression as he looked at his elder brother. Why not go?

Liu Zhengzong was bewildered! The voice in his mind spoke again, saying, “There is no need to go. Protect the Liu clan instead.”

Standing awkwardly in front of the many clan warriors, Liu Zhengzong paused, cleared his throat, and continued, “It is our duty to help the Shang clan!” But… “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 prepared 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 late, they wouldn’t even get a share of the spoils!

With these words, Liu Zhengzong vanished in a flash, leaving the Liu clan’s elite warriors standing there, bewildered. Liu Zhengyuan scratched his head in confusion. What was really going on?

Liu Zhengzong swiftly entered the underground chamber, making his way deep into the secret palace. He arrived outside a grand hall, panting heavily, and said, “Ancestor, why…?”

“I am not in a position to act right now!” The deep voice echoed again.

Liu Zhengzong quickly replied, “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 Uncle San…”

The Liu clan naturally had a Wanfa realm cultivator—Liu Aonan, a figure publicly believed to have passed away. Liu Aonan was a known ace of the Liu clan to the leaders of the five great clans. However, the ancestor before him was the true hidden card of the Liu clan, unknown to anyone else.

“He can’t go either!” The deep voice continued, “You and Aonan, stay in the residence and do not leave!”

“Huh?” Liu Zhengzong still couldn’t understand.

“Go, the enemy has arrived!”

Enemy? Where did the enemy come from?

Confused, Liu Zhengzong left the secret palace and emerged outside. Liu Zhengyuan arrived with an anxious expression, shouting, “Brother, it’s bad!”

“What’s the rush? What’s wrong?” Liu Zhengzong asked, clearly annoyed.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a howling wind rose. Above the Liu clan’s residence, a massive shadow loomed over the sky. Seeing the enormous eight-winged creature, with a hundred-zhang body soaring just a hundred meters above the Liu residence, Liu Zhengzong’s face turned ugly.

“It’s that beast from Qingyun Academy!” Liu Zhengyuan cursed.

No wonder the ancestor had suddenly stopped him! Why was this beast here? Was it sent by Qingyun Academy?

But at that moment, another howling wind rose, and another eight-winged Chi Lian Jiao began to circle above the Liu residence. Both of these beasts had arrived! Wasn’t one of them supposed to be dying from poison? Why were they still so lively?

These were fifth-stage spiritual beasts, true mature forms with Wanfa realm strength! The Liu clan had no chance of helping the Shang clan now. If they sent anyone to assist, these two beasts could wreak havoc in the Liu residence, causing at least half of their people to die or be injured.

“Damn it!” Liu Zhengyuan couldn’t help but curse under his breath. What was Qingyun Academy up to? Favoring Ye Wushuang?

Damn it! If it weren’t for the death of the elder from the five great clans’ council, that old man Yun Xingjian would never dare to do this.

In fact, Liu Zhengyuan had misunderstood Yun Xingjian. At that moment, Yun Xingjian was detaining the Qin clan’s people. The arrival of Chi Yuan and Chi Xuan was actually with Ye Wushuang’s approval!

The toxin in Chi Xuan had been absorbed by Ye Wushuang and would not erupt. Of course, it did not have Wanfa realm strength, but its massive form was enough to intimidate people. Moreover, Chi Yuan was a true Wanfa realm cultivator.

If the Liu clan went to help the Shang clan, that was fine. Chi Yuan alone could wreak havoc in the Liu residence! Even if the Liu clan’s Wanfa realm cultivator intervened, a battle 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, Wanfa realm cultivators were like gods.

At that moment, a figure approached Liu Zhengzong and Liu Zhengyuan.

“Uncle San!”

“Uncle San!”

Both Liu Zhengzong and Liu Zhengyuan greeted him respectfully with a bow. This man was Liu Aonan, the publicly known Wanfa realm cultivator of the Liu clan!

Liu Zhengzong and Liu Zhengyuan’s father was the previous generation’s clan leader, who was killed by one of the eighteen heavenly guards of the Ye clan during the siege of the Ye clan. Over the years, Uncle San Liu Aonan had broken through to the Wanfa realm and become the protector of the Liu clan!

“Hmm,” Liu Aonan said, “I also understand the ancestor’s intention. You two should come with me and keep an eye on this couple.”

“Damn Yun Xingjian!” Liu Zhengzong cursed again.

“It may not be Yun Xingjian,” Liu Aonan replied. “These two have always been loyal to Ye Wentian. The injured one was once trying to save someone from the Ye clan. Now that the Ye family is rising again, the couple… they would probably protect the Ye clan at all costs, even without Yun Xingjian’s orders!”

Hearing this, Liu Zhengzong’s face turned ugly as he said, “Then we won’t be able to help the Shang clan destroy the Dark Soul Hall? In that case… won’t the benefits all be taken by the Qin clan, Chu clan, and Xiao clan?”
