“The father’s debt is repaid by the son. Hand over Chu Feng, or today, we’ll raze the Chu Heavenly Clan to the ground!”
Shouts of condemnation thundered through the air, resounding clearly for miles around.
The timid fled in panic, fearing they’d be caught in the crossfire.
The bold, however, crept closer, hiding in the shadows to watch.
“It’s over, it’s over. Who could’ve imagined Chu Xuanyuan’s influence was still so great? I thought his imprisonment by the Chu Heavenly Clan had made him a laughingstock, but he was silently deterring so many people.”
“Now that Chu Xuanyuan is dead, all those who hated him and the Chu Heavenly Clan have come crawling out.”
“So many experts! Just how many people did Chu Xuanyuan offend back then?”
“You don’t know? The people he crossed were either from prestigious families or prodigies with immense talent.”
“For revenge, many went into secluded cultivation. Now that they’ve achieved great power, they’re here to settle scores.”
“Today, the Chu Heavenly Clan is finished.”
Watching the vast army of tens of thousands of experts, the onlookers hidden in the shadows sweated for the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Some even believed the clan would be erased from the Ancestral Martial Starfield’s history today.
“This rabble dares to cause trouble at the Chu Heavenly Clan? They’re overestimating themselves.”
Yet, while most thought the Chu Heavenly Clan was doomed, a dissenting voice spoke from behind the crowd.
The onlookers turned, ready to curse, but froze when they saw it was someone from the Ghost Sect Hall.
And this person’s aura was different—clearly a powerhouse.
“I thought only a fool would say something so absurd.”
“So it’s an esteemed lord from the Ghost Sect Hall.”
“But, my lord, take a closer look at those attacking the Chu Heavenly Clan. They’re no ordinary fighters.”
“Many are Venerable Realm experts! How many Venerables does the Chu Heavenly Clan even have?”
“Yet they face thousands of Venerable Realm experts today.”
“The gap is obvious. Anyone with eyes can see the Chu Heavenly Clan is doomed. Why call them rabble?”
“To be blunt, even among the Martial Immortal Realm experts in that army, any one of them could probably defeat you, my lord.”
Because the speaker was from the Ghost Sect Hall, the crowd tempered their words, but their tone still dripped with mockery.
They couldn’t be blamed. In the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm, peak Martial Immortals were top-tier, and Venerable Realm experts were the pinnacle.
Most Venerables were only First Rank, but this army, gathered from various forces, had thousands of Venerables, with the weakest being peak Martial Immortals.
Though the Chu Heavenly Clan ruled the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm, compared to this army, they were like a river against the sea.
To most in the Upper Realm, this coalition from the Ancestral Martial Starfield was like gods descended—an invincible army of divine beings capable of annihilating all.
“Heh… You don’t understand the Chu Heavenly Clan or the strength of our Upper Realm’s ruler. But I don’t blame you—your knowledge is limited.”
“Keep watching. You’ll soon see that the Chu Heavenly Clan is no longer what it once was. This rabble can’t bully them at will.”
The Ghost Sect Hall expert remained unfazed by the mockery.
He had once entered the Void Sacred Tree with the Ghost Sect Hall Master, so he knew the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader’s true cultivation.
But since the Clan Leader had ordered secrecy, his cultivation remained hidden, and the expert wouldn’t reveal it to these onlookers.
Because of this secrecy, most were unaware of the Clan Leader’s true power, their understanding of the Chu Heavenly Clan stuck in the past.
Thus, they looked at the Ghost Sect Hall expert like he was a delusional fool refusing to face reality.
“One last time—will you hand over Chu Feng? If not, don’t blame us for being merciless.”
A white-haired old man in a black robe shouted from the attacking army, his voice like thunder, his attitude arrogant, as if issuing a decree.
This was Black Wind Elder, an Eighth Rank Venerable with some fame in the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
A leader was needed for such a diverse coalition, and Black Wind Elder naturally assumed that role.
“Merciless?”
“I’d like to see how you plan to be merciless.”
“But let me be clear: leave now, and the Chu Heavenly Clan will spare you.”
“If you attack, there’s no turning back.”
Chu Xuanzhengfa spoke loudly, fearless despite facing this formidable army, unlike the others.
“Look at his cultivation—just a weakling I could crush with one finger, yet he dares speak like that. They really won’t shed tears until they see their coffin.”
“Brothers, since they won’t hand over Chu Feng, don’t blame us for being ruthless. Today, we’ll show them our might.”
“Take down this arrogant, pathetic clan. Let them know the consequences of opposing us.”
“Kill!!!!!!”
At Black Wind Elder’s command, a piercing battle cry shook the heavens.
The oppressive aura of tens of thousands of experts swept out like an invisible hurricane, engulfing all directions.
Then, some charged on the ground, others soared into the air, all rushing toward the Chu Heavenly Clan.
