Finally, the formidable forces of the Hong Beast Clan and the Jinshi Royal Clan arrived outside the territory of the Chu Celestial Clan.
“Chu Clan old thief, get out here!!!”
A sudden roar echoed, shaking the heavens and earth.
In fact, the moment this roar resounded, not only did the heavens tremble, but the hearts of everyone in the Great Thousand Upper Realm quaked as well.
A Sixth Rank Venerable—such an existence was unmatched in the Great Thousand Upper Realm. Even the Patriarch of the Chu Celestial Clan could not contend with him.
This single sentence made it abundantly clear that his arrival today was anything but friendly.
At that moment, the people of the Great Thousand Upper Realm were both shocked and terrified, convinced that the Chu Celestial Clan was facing imminent disaster.
The members of the Chu Celestial Clan dared not delay, hurriedly rushing to inform their Patriarch.
In an instant, panic spread, and fear gripped everyone.
“How did he manage it? To reach Sixth Rank Venerable—this progress is far too rapid, isn’t it?”
“What can we do? Are we really going to war?”
“If the Chu Celestial Clan falls, our days won’t be easy either.”
At this moment, the various forces of the Great Thousand Upper Realm were terrified, hiding in the shadows and whispering among themselves.
Though they had only followed to observe and satisfy their curiosity, this outcome was certainly not what they had hoped for.
“Everyone, rest assured. We are here today only to seek justice from the Chu Celestial Clan. Our actions today are directed solely at them and have nothing to do with you.”
At that moment, a figure appeared in everyone’s line of sight—it was the Patriarch of the Jinshi Royal Clan.
Hearing his words, the anxious onlookers felt a measure of relief.
But the members of the Chu Celestial Clan grew even more uneasy. His statement all but confirmed that their visit to the Chu Celestial Clan was indeed to stir trouble.
“They’re really here to take revenge on the Chu Celestial Clan. It seems the Chu Clan is doomed.”
“There’s no helping it. This is the way of the martial world. If your skills are inferior, you can only be bullied. If anyone’s to blame, it’s the Chu Celestial Clan’s Patriarch for not cultivating as quickly as the Hong Beast Clan’s Patriarch.”
The various forces of the Great Thousand Upper Realm did not leave, continuing to whisper in the shadows.
As residents of the Great Thousand Upper Realm, even if the matter didn’t concern them, they felt deep sympathy for the Chu Celestial Clan’s predicament.
But they also understood the harsh truth of the martial world: the strong reign supreme.
Countless powerful clans with populations in the billions had been wiped from existence overnight due to conflicts.
Tragedies of clan extermination were too numerous to count…
Thus, they were powerless, forced to watch helplessly as events unfolded.
“Father, look—not only are the Chu Celestial Clan’s people afraid, but those lackeys of the Great Thousand Upper Realm are terrified too.”
“Who would’ve thought they’d see a day like this?”
Behind the Jinshi Royal Clan’s Patriarch, a young man stepped forward. His name was Jinshi Bo, the son of the Jinshi Royal Clan’s Patriarch. He had once accompanied his father to the Great Thousand Upper Realm and clashed with Chu Feng, only to suffer a humiliating defeat at Chu Feng’s hands.
As a result, he harboured deep hatred for Chu Feng. Especially after witnessing his father, a revered Patriarch and ruler of an Upper Realm, grovel before Chu Xuanzhengfa, his hatred extended to the entire Chu Celestial Clan.
He had long awaited this day, and now… the opportunity for revenge had finally arrived.
“In a world where the strong rule, this is how it works. Today… I will make Chu Xuanzhengfa kneel before me and admit his wrongs,” the Jinshi Royal Clan’s Patriarch said, his face filled with venom, clearly still stinging from the humiliation of that day.
“Just kneeling and admitting fault? Patriarch Jinshi, aren’t you being too merciful?” Another voice suddenly rang out—it was the Patriarch of the Hong Beast Clan.
“Lord Hong, how do you plan to deal with the Chu Celestial Clan?” the Jinshi Royal Clan’s Patriarch asked with a fawning smile. Despite his earlier air of authority, he now appeared utterly subservient before the Hong Beast Clan’s Patriarch, like a sycophant.
“You’ll see what I plan to do,” the Hong Beast Clan’s Patriarch said, a cold smile curling his lips, his eyes glinting with malice.
Seeing this, the Jinshi Royal Clan’s Patriarch refrained from asking further, but he knew the Chu Celestial Clan was in for serious trouble this time.
*Clang—*
*Clang—*
*Clang—*
But at that moment, a series of booming sounds came from behind—the sound of gongs and drums.
“Who dares make such a racket? Don’t they see we’re in the middle of—”
Hearing the noise, both the Jinshi Royal Clan’s Patriarch and the Hong Beast Clan’s Patriarch were furious. They turned, ready to unleash a torrent of curses.
But when they saw who was approaching, they froze, their faces blank with shock.
From the direction of the sound, a small group was advancing through the air toward them.
Their entourage was far less imposing than the grand armies of the Jinshi Royal Clan and Hong Beast Clan.
Yet, the flag fluttering in the air made everyone present tense with apprehension.
It was… the Tang Celestial Clan!!!
