Chapter 768: Unable to Escape

"Gather all the High-ranking Leaders and have them come here immediately to discuss our response plan!"

The Holy Emperor of the Qianwei Tribe quickly issued the command.

Now was clearly not the time to ponder how the army of the Death Tribe had arrived at Holy Star.

The priority was to defeat and even crush this army of ten billion Death Tribe soldiers.

One by one, the guards began to take out communication stones to contact the elders of the Qianwei Tribe, notifying them to come to the Holy Emperor to discuss countermeasures.

Powerful elders of the Qianwei Tribe left their barriers and entered the Holy Emperor’s domain.

They did not realize that this was precisely a part of the plan set by the Sixteenth Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

The reason the Great Flame Empire was able to conquer the various tribes of the Tianling Star Cluster with such speed was not only due to their unbeatable strength, but also thanks to the incredible contribution of their unpredictable assassination teams.

It was indeed this assassination team that captured the leaders and High-ranking Leaders of various tribes, and together with their overwhelming army, they successfully forced the various tribes to surrender in a short time.

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s plan was developed based on the military strategies of the Great Flame Empire.

The sudden appearance of the Death Tribe army was a crucial part of this strategy.

As for the assassination teams, both the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and the Death Tribe could replicate them.

Although the Tree-Dwelling Tribe could not mimic Yi Chen by setting up defensive formations to create flying treasures that could shield Perception Ability, it was not difficult for the extensive Tree-Dwelling Tribe to find a few powerful treasures that could conceal perception abilities and recruit some skilled individuals in stealth techniques.

At the moment the Death Tribe army began moving toward Holy Star, a powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, skilled in stealth techniques and at level 220, had already infiltrated Holy Star with a powerful treasure that could shield his Perception Ability.

Through his powerful Perception Ability, this level 220 Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter quickly deduced the hiding place of the Holy Emperor of the Qianwei Tribe based on the movements of the Qianwei Tribe elders.

He immediately took out his communication stone and reported his deductions to the Sixteenth Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

"Assassination team, set off immediately!"

The Sixteenth Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe took the lead, heading at full speed with a team of assassins formed by members of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and various vassal races toward Holy Star.

With a powerful treasure that shielded their Perception Ability, not a single strong fighter from the Qianwei Tribe sensed their movement.

In fact, even if they did sense it, it would be of no use.

Although Holy Star amassed many top-tier fighters from the Qianwei Tribe, with the Holy Emperor reaching level 235 and two level 230 elders among them, they seemed insignificant compared to the assassination team.

The strongest member of the assassination team, the Sixteenth Elder, reached level 240.

There were also five strong fighters at level 230, and over a hundred strong fighters at level 220.

Even if they charged straight in, with the support of the Death Tribe army, they could easily capture the Holy Leader of the Qianwei Tribe and the elders of Holy Star.

A sudden attack would only make things easier.

Once the location of the Holy Emperor of the Qianwei Tribe was confirmed, the assassination team swept in with thunderous momentum.

They were only discovered by the guards of the Qianwei Tribe when they reached the palace complex.

However, at that moment, it was too late.

The Sixteenth Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe gently shook his branches, and billions of leaves flew out like sharp blades.

Wherever they passed, the Qianwei Tribe guards who stood in front, even those at the strong fighter level, were instantly pierced through.

The gap in strength was simply too large.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Sixteenth Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe took the lead and, with his powerful strength, continuously destroyed the defensive barriers surrounding the palace complex.

Inside the barriers, the Holy Emperor of the Qianwei Tribe had just begun to discuss countermeasures with the arriving elders.

They hadn’t even sorted through their ideas yet when a terrified guard rushed in to report that elder-level strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, along with a large number of strong fighters from various tribes, were attempting to force their way through the palace complex’s barriers.

The Holy Emperor of the Qianwei Tribe and the other elders quickly spread their Perception Ability and were instantly horrified.

"It’s elder-level strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, plus quite a few level 230 and level 220 strong fighters, all composed of members from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and its vassal races."

"Damn it, what does the Tree-Dwelling Tribe want? They directly sent elder-level strong fighters into battle! This completely violates the agreements between large races."

"The Tree-Dwelling Tribe is personally getting involved; they want to provoke a race war across the entire super star cluster!"

"It’s over; we are going to be the first target of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe…"

The elders of the Qianwei Tribe panicked and had no idea what to do.

As a dominant race, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s elders were at least level 240.

And level 240 fighters could only be matched by the leaders of major races within the super star cluster.

Even if the Holy Emperor and all the elders of the Qianwei Tribe joined forces, they still couldn’t compete with a level 240 strong fighter.

This was a complete dimensional strike.

"Evacuate! They must be trying to kill or capture us in order to wipe out the Qianwei Tribe or force us to surrender."

The Holy Emperor of the Qianwei Tribe was the first to react.

He showed no hesitation.

There was no way they could win; they had to escape.

As long as they could flee, the Qianwei Tribe might not be defeated.

The reason was simple: the distance was too great, and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe could not send their entire army to join the fight.

The major races of the Te Fung Star Cluster would not sit idly by as the Death Tribe swallowed and eliminated the Qianwei Tribe, and they would definitely come to help.

Even the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe would not stand by and watch as the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s vassal races grew strong; they would surely send strong fighters to confront them.

As long as they could delay, the Death Tribe would eventually have to retreat.

Inside his body, energy started to surge rapidly.

The Holy Emperor of the Qianwei Tribe suddenly pulled forward.

He tore open a spatial rift that extended hundreds of meters with his energy.

"Let’s go! We must leave Holy Star first before making any plans!"

The Holy Emperor of the Qianwei Tribe gritted his teeth. Although Holy Star gathered many elite members of the Qianwei Tribe and housed a massive amount of resources and treasures, leaving meant putting those elites in peril and handing over all resources and treasures to the Death Tribe.

But it was a heroic decision; staying would lead to even worse consequences.

After calling out to the others, he was the first to fly toward the spatial rift.

Bang!

As he touched the edge of the spatial rift, an invisible barrier blocked his massive body.

The Holy Emperor of the Qianwei Tribe and the elders were instantly terrified.

"It’s the Wind Tribe’s strong fighters… The Wind Tribe is using their abilities to seal off the space rift in this area."

They immediately understood the situation.

Among the many vassal races of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was a small group called the Wind Tribe.

This Wind Tribe had a natural and profound understanding of the laws of space; one of their innate abilities was to seal off the power of the laws of space in a given area.

The stronger their abilities, the larger the area they could seal and the greater the strength of the seal.

What truly made the Holy Emperor of the Qianwei Tribe feel despair was that, judging by the strength of this invisible barrier, only a level 230 member of the Wind Tribe could accomplish such a feat.

And the entire Wind Tribe was actually weaker than the Qianwei Tribe, with only two level 230 strong fighters: the leader of the Wind Tribe and the Great Elder.

This implied that either the leader or the Great Elder of the Wind Tribe was among the assassination team.

Given their strengths, breaking this invisible barrier would not be a huge challenge, but it would take time.

At the very least, they would need two to three hours.

Without a doubt, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s elders would not grant them such a long time.
