The members of the Chu Heavenly Clan, except for a few like Chu Feng who had gone to the New Talent Formation, were almost all within the main city.
Originally, everything was peaceful.
However, the sudden appearance of a barrier gate made the hearts of the Chu Heavenly Clan members tighten.
From within the barrier gate emerged figures, all bearing the same identity—members of the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
As for these members of the Linghu Heavenly Clan, they looked down upon the Chu Heavenly Clan, standing aloof like gods about to punish mortals, despising everything.
“Members of the Chu Heavenly Clan, come out at once,” commanded a member of the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
“Sir, may we know the reason for your visit?” inquired the Chu Heavenly Clan members respectfully, seeing the aggressive approach of the other party.
However, noticing that the Chu Heavenly Clan members did not immediately come out after his command, the Linghu Heavenly Clan member’s eyebrows furrowed in anger.
“How dare you! When I tell you to come out, you come out immediately, or else… don’t blame me for annihilating your entire clan,” roared the Linghu Heavenly Clan member.
The roar shook the heavens and the earth, a sound several times more piercing than thunder, making all members of the Chu Heavenly Clan feel the other party’s fury.
At this moment, it would be false to say they were not afraid, as these were the rulers of the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World, the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
Moreover, even disregarding their power in the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World, the Linghu Heavenly Clan was the foremost among the top ten heavenly clans in the Ancestral Martial Star Domain.
Although the Chu Heavenly Clan was also a ruler in the Great Thousand Upper Realm, compared to the Linghu Heavenly Clan, they were truly insignificant.
Faced with such a force, the Chu Heavenly Clan members were naturally apprehensive, especially when the other party was enraged.
But even so, the Chu Heavenly Clan members still did not leave the city.
Because they remembered Chu Feng’s words.
Before Chu Feng returned, they were to stay within the city, even if they discovered precious cultivation resources, they were not to leave the city.
Because this city could protect them.
“Sir, we dare not disrespect you, but… may we know what this is about?” asked the Chu Heavenly Clan members cautiously.
“Fools, you truly refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.”
“Without teaching you a lesson, you really don’t understand your place.”
At this, the Linghu Heavenly Clan members were thoroughly enraged.
Already humiliated by Chu Feng, they now directed all their anger towards the members of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
After a roar, someone made a move.
With a mere thought, winds rose and clouds surged, a vast pressure like a tidal wave crashed towards the city where the Chu Heavenly Clan members were.
At this moment, all members of the Chu Heavenly Clan trembled with fear.
Within the city, they could feel how terrifying that pressure was.
The other party was not joking; the Linghu Heavenly Clan truly intended to obliterate them.
Boom—
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard, and the vast pressure turned into ripples of energy, dispersing outside the city.
“This…”
At this moment, not only the Linghu Heavenly Clan members but also the Chu Heavenly Clan members were astonished.
They could clearly see that where the vast pressure had turned into ripples, a mirror-like barrier had appeared.
It was a barrier formation, and it had blocked the attack from the Linghu Heavenly Clan member’s pressure.
“No wonder you are so arrogant, daring to look down on us, it turns out you have a protective formation.”
“Do you really think this mere formation can stop us?”
“Today, I will make you understand who really rules the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World.”
After their pressure was blocked, the already furious Linghu Heavenly Clan members became even more enraged.
Next, not just one member but all the Linghu Heavenly Clan members present began to attack.
They not only drew their weapons but also unleashed powerful martial skills.
Wave after wave of attacks came, each more powerful than the last.
However, after a series of attacks, the Linghu Heavenly Clan members were utterly dumbfounded.
They had used their strongest methods.
But not only had they failed to harm the Chu Heavenly Clan members inside the city, they hadn’t even shattered a single tile on the city walls.
The protective formation had completely blocked all their attacks.
“This…”
Now, not only were the Linghu Heavenly Clan members dumbfounded, but the Chu Heavenly Clan members were also stunned.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed that the city they were in was so formidable.
It could even block the attacks of the Linghu Heavenly Clan members.
After all, every Linghu Heavenly Clan member exuded an aura that was terrifying in their eyes.
At the same time, they finally understood why Chu Feng had insisted they stay within the city and not leave.
There really was a protective formation here, and it was indeed impregnable.
“Bunch of fools, undo this formation at once, or else… you’ll regret it,” shouted a Linghu Heavenly Clan member in desperation.
They had come under orders from Linghu Tiemian to capture the Chu Heavenly Clan members.
If they failed this mission, they would face punishment upon their return.
So, having failed to break through by force, they resorted to threats.
However, it must be admitted that their desperate method was rather foolish.
After all, by now, even a fool could see that as long as they stayed within the city, the Linghu Heavenly Clan members could do nothing to the Chu Heavenly Clan.
But if they went out, it would be suicide.
Although the Chu Heavenly Clan members found the other party ridiculous, no one dared to laugh, simply because they were the Linghu Heavenly Clan, whom they could not afford to offend.
“Sir, may we know what we have done to provoke such a response?” asked the Chu Heavenly Clan members cautiously, even as the other party was being so rude.
“Enough with the nonsense, I’ll make this clear today.”
“Today, if you surrender quietly, you might still leave the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World alive.”
“Otherwise, all of you will die without exception.”
“Even if your formation can block us, ask yourselves, can it block Linghu Tiemian?”
At these words, the faces of the Chu Heavenly Clan members changed.
Indeed, the protective formation could block the Linghu Heavenly Clan members, but could it block Linghu Tiemian?
He was the strongest in the current Ancestral Martial Cultivation World, the king of the Ancestral Martial Cultivation World.
“Failing to break through by force, you resort to threats, Linghu Heavenly Clan, you truly disappoint me.”
However, at this moment, a voice filled with sarcasm rang out behind the Linghu Heavenly Clan members.
