The Wuming Clan was a known entity to them, clear as day.
They were the overlords who had ruled the Ancestral Martial Star Region for many years.
Back then, Chu Hanxian was driven away by the Wuming Clan.
Even Chu Xuanyuan was no exception.
When Chu Feng was young, if not for the pressure from the Wuming Clan, he and Chu Xuanyuan wouldn’t have been relegated to the lower realms to suffer.
Although the Wuming Clan suffered heavy losses in their battle with the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
It was said that after their defeat, only a few experts from the Wuming Clan escaped, with most of their clansmen killed by the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
It could be imagined that the current Wuming Clan was likely not as strong as before, their power diminished.
But even so, the Wuming Clan was absolutely not something the Chu Heavenly Clan could contend with.
Coupled with years of oppression, in the hearts of the Chu Heavenly Clan members, the name of the Wuming Clan was far more terrifying than the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
“Clan Leader, since the Wuming Clan has made a comeback, they must be aiming for the position of overlord of the Ancestral Martial Star Region. What should we do?”
“Why don’t we quickly seek help from the Three Cities?”
“Yes, seek help. We can only seek help, or we’re no match for them at all.”
The elders were truly terrified, their voices filled with fear.
“Seek help? The Three Cities are so far away, and the Wuming Clan is already at our gates. It’s too late to seek help now.”
Chu Xuanzhengfa said.
His tone was not great either.
Mainly because he looked down on these cowardly elders.
“Clan Leader, I have an idea.”
Suddenly, a relatively calm elder spoke up.
“What’s the plan? Let’s hear it.”
The Chu Heavenly Clan Leader asked.
“The Wuming Clan returned to the Ancestral Martial Star Region without any prior news.”
“This means they came straight for our Chu Heavenly Clan as soon as they returned.”
“Their goal is obviously to reclaim the position of overlord of the Ancestral Martial Star Region.”
“And right now, the Purple Star Hall has just invited all the star regions to attend a grand event.”
“Why don’t we go along with it, relinquish the position of overlord of the Ancestral Martial Star Region to the Wuming Clan, and let them attend the event?”
The elder said.
“That’s indeed a good plan.”
Hearing this, many elders expressed their agreement.
But the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader shook his head.
“No, the position of master of the Ancestral Martial Star Region was entrusted to our clan by the Ancestral Martial Dragon City.”
“Unless the Ancestral Martial Dragon City personally speaks, no matter who comes, our Chu Heavenly Clan cannot hand over this overlord position.”
The Chu Heavenly Clan Leader said.
“Clan Leader, but we… we’re no match for the Wuming Clan.”
“Clan Leader, face is important, but it’s not as important as the safety of our clansmen.”
“Clan Leader, please reconsider.”
At this moment, many clansmen knelt on the ground.
They all hoped the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader would give up the overlord position to ensure the clan’s safety.
“Shut up! Whoever dares to persuade the Clan Leader again, I’ll kill them.”
At this moment, Chu Xuanzhengfa roared angrily.
Hearing this, the clansmen quickly fell silent.
They knew Chu Xuanzhengfa’s temper; this man meant what he said.
He might actually kill them.
“Clan Leader, what should we do now?”
Chu Hanpeng also stepped forward to ask.
He understood the Clan Leader’s character better, so he didn’t try to persuade him, knowing it would be futile.
For now, he would only follow the Clan Leader’s arrangements.
“Everyone, don’t panic. I’ll handle this matter.”
As the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader spoke, he soared into the air and headed outward.
Seeing this, Chu Xuanzhengfa and the people from the Punishment Hall quickly followed.
Chu Hanpeng, before taking off, swept his gaze over the elders.
“Our clan has always advanced and retreated together. If you still consider yourself a member of the Chu Heavenly Clan, face this with the Clan Leader.”
With that, he also shot into the air.
As for the elders, after looking at each other, none stayed behind; they all followed the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader.
Cowardly as they might be, they were clear about their identity.
…
Nowadays, the Chu Heavenly Clan, due to the northern pilgrimage, had become the liveliest place in the entire Ancestral Martial Star Region.
When the Wuming Clan arrived at the Chu Heavenly Clan, the news spread immediately.
Thus, various forces gathered at the gates of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
When they saw the neatly arrayed, imposing forces, and confirmed they were indeed from the Wuming Clan…
Some began to panic.
Others were overjoyed.
Although the Chu Heavenly Clan’s strength was lacking, the Clan Leader was not only kind but also fair, with clear distinctions between gratitude and grudges.
Unlike the former Wuming Clan, which was extremely domineering and ignored conflicts among various forces.
Thus, in this short time, many felt that the Chu Heavenly Clan was a competent overlord.
So, many hoped the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader could remain the master of the Ancestral Martial Star Region.
This would provide them with a better cultivation environment.
So, they didn’t want anyone to replace the Chu Heavenly Clan.
But when the Wuming Clan appeared, they also understood that the Wuming Clan came with ill intentions.
Hence their panic.
As for those who were overjoyed, they were naturally those who, deep down, didn’t acknowledge the Chu Heavenly Clan.
They only respected the Chu Heavenly Clan on the surface, but in their hearts, they looked down on them.
Even having the Chu Heavenly Clan as the overlord of the Ancestral Martial Star Region made them feel ashamed, feeling they couldn’t hold their heads high when facing forces from other star regions.
Now that the Wuming Clan had returned, it suited their desires perfectly.
Moreover, the Wuming Clan came with overwhelming momentum.
Among their vast forces, experts abounded.
Six Supreme Venerables, ten top experts, and numerous other experts all appeared.
It could be said that, apart from the Wuming Clan Leader, Wuming Doutian, who didn’t show up, all the Wuming Clan’s experts were present.
The Six Supreme Venerables were experts at the Supreme Venerable Realm.
The ten top experts were all at the peak of the Venerable Realm, just a step away from entering the Supreme Venerable Realm.
Besides the ten top experts, the Wuming Clan also had many other peak Venerable Realm experts.
And the number of Venerable Realm experts was countless.
Such a lineup was simply incomparable to the Chu Heavenly Clan.
The difference between the two forces could be described as heaven and earth.
After all, the current Chu Heavenly Clan had very few Venerable Realm experts.
Even the strongest, the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader, was only at the peak of the Venerable Realm.
Leaving aside top experts, even in terms of ordinary clansmen, they were not on the same level.
The Chu Heavenly Clan couldn’t compare to the Wuming Clan in any aspect.
Everyone believed that if the Wuming Clan wanted to reclaim the position of star region overlord, the Chu Heavenly Clan had no ability to resist.
They might not even dare to make a sound and would have to hand over the position of overlord of the Ancestral Martial Star Region.
