“My lord, how could this be?”
“Could it be that someone is protecting the Chu Heavenly Clan?”
“Or has something else happened?”
Hearing Lanfu Longping’s words, Nameless Doutian was filled with shock and curiosity.
“It’s not exactly that someone is protecting them, but something terrifying has occurred,” Lanfu Longping said.
“Something terrifying?”
“What kind of terrifying thing?” Nameless Doutian pressed eagerly.
His curiosity stemmed from his knowledge of the Lanfu Clan’s strength.
The Lanfu Clan hailed from the Nine Souls Galaxy, a galaxy much closer to the Holy Light Galaxy than the Ancestral Martial Star Domain.
In truth, not only had the Ancestral Martial Star Domain fallen into decline, but compared to other galaxies, the Holy Light Galaxy was also relatively weak.
The Nine Souls Galaxy’s overall strength far surpassed that of the Holy Light Galaxy.
Though the Lanfu Clan wasn’t the hegemon of the Nine Souls Galaxy, it held a significant position there.
Due to their unique bloodline, the Lanfu Clan required special resources for cultivation.
Thus, they sent agents to various galaxies to mine cultivation resources for them.
While the blue ore in the Ancestral Martial Star Domain’s main realm could be used for their cultivation, it was considered low-grade by the Lanfu Clan.
Because of this, the Lanfu Clan didn’t highly value the Nameless Clan.
To the Lanfu Clan, the Nameless Clan was just one of many pawns.
Or rather, one of many slaves.
Thus, only two members of the Lanfu Clan dealt with the Nameless Clan: Lanfu Jianpeng and Lanfu Longping.
Though these two were elders in the Lanfu Clan and acted superior before the Nameless Clan, Nameless Doutian, who had visited the Lanfu Clan, knew well that neither Lanfu Jianpeng nor Lanfu Longping held high status within their clan. They were minor figures.
Yet, in the Ancestral Martial Star Domain, these minor figures were dominant powerhouses.
This showed just how formidable the Lanfu Clan was.
Its strength was immeasurable.
According to Nameless Doutian’s estimation, in the entire Holy Light Galaxy, perhaps only the Holy Light Clan, the galaxy’s hegemon, could rival the Lanfu Clan.
The Holy Light Clan was the undisputed ruler of the Holy Light Galaxy.
This gave a rough idea of how terrifying the Lanfu Clan’s power was.
Yet now, Lanfu Longping said that annihilating the Chu Heavenly Clan could risk the Lanfu Clan’s extinction.
This shocked Nameless Doutian to his core.
What was going on?
How could the weak Chu Heavenly Clan threaten the mighty Lanfu Clan?
And what was this terrifying event Lanfu Longping spoke of?
Nameless Doutian’s curiosity burned.
“My Lanfu Clan has long had an allied force,” Lanfu Longping began.
“That force is called the Fengmai Heavenly Sect.”
“Our alliance with the Fengmai Heavenly Sect has lasted because not only do we share similar goals, but their strength is also very close to ours.”
“Oh, you should have seen people from the Fengmai Heavenly Sect.”
“When you last delivered ore to our clan, didn’t you happen to see their members visiting us?” Lanfu Longping suddenly looked at Nameless Doutian.
“I remember,” Nameless Doutian replied.
He indeed remembered. That day was unforgettable.
As the hegemon of the Ancestral Martial Star Domain, Nameless Doutian couldn’t help but feel proud.
But every time he visited the Lanfu Clan, he realized he was just a small figure.
A lowly being, not even qualified to enter the Lanfu Clan’s gates.
As Lanfu Jianpeng said, he was merely a dog to them.
Knowing his place, he always approached the Lanfu Clan with humility.
But even with mental preparation, the day he witnessed the Fengmai Heavenly Sect’s grandeur left him deeply shaken.
That day, he was fortunate to see several prominent figures from the Fengmai Heavenly Sect.
Though he, like most, could only watch from a distance, it was still a blow.
In that moment, he truly understood the gap between martial cultivators.
He felt not just like a small figure, not even a dog, but an ant.
Before true powerhouses, he was utterly insignificant.
“My lord, why mention the Fengmai Heavenly Sect? Does this terrifying event involve them?”
“Could it be a conflict of interest? Has the Fengmai Heavenly Sect fallen out with the Lanfu Clan?” Nameless Doutian asked.
The Fengmai Heavenly Sect’s strength was no less than the Lanfu Clan’s.
If they were to go to war, that would indeed be terrifying.
“No…” Lanfu Longping shook his head.
Seeing this, Nameless Doutian knew he’d guessed wrong, but his curiosity deepened.
“The Fengmai Heavenly Sect has been annihilated,” Lanfu Longping said.
“What? Annihilated?”
“You mean the Fengmai Heavenly Sect was wiped out?” Nameless Doutian was stunned, unable to believe his ears.
If, to the small figures of the Ancestral Martial Star Domain, the Nameless Clan was a god-like ruler, then to Nameless Doutian, the Fengmai Heavenly Sect was a divine existence.
Such a force should be eternal, invincible.
How could it be eradicated?
“It’s absolutely true. The sect was completely destroyed, with no survivors.”
“Since ancient times, the Fengmai Heavenly Sect, with its long history and deep foundation, has vanished from this world forever,” Lanfu Longping said.
“Really gone?”
“Who did it?” Nameless Doutian pressed.
Due to his limited strength, he had never met the top experts of the Holy Light Clan or the Lanfu Clan.
Thus, the prominent figures of the Fengmai Heavenly Sect were the most powerful beings he’d ever seen.
Yet such a force, an entire sect, had been slaughtered?
Who could have done it?
“It’s unclear who did it, but it’s certain it wasn’t someone from the Nine Souls Galaxy,” Lanfu Longping said.
“The reason for this certainty is that many witnessed two figures emerging from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood that day.”
“A man and an ape.”
“What?”
“A man and an ape?!” Nameless Doutian’s face changed dramatically. Such fear was rare for him, even when facing death earlier.
Soon, his body trembled uncontrollably.
Lanfu Longping, gripping his arm, could feel just how terrified Nameless Doutian was.
“It seems you’ve realized it too,” Lanfu Longping said, looking at him.
