Chapter 573: 482 Thunderclap Clan (Requesting Monthly Votes)_1

Tianyuan City, a serene estate.

Yin Jie, Yin Hu, Tuo Shan, Tuna, Yin Chi, and two other Soul Transformation Cultivators sat next to a cyan tea table, their expressions grim.

They had hoped to take advantage of the situation to kill off the Human Clan’s living forces and weaken their power.

Indeed, that was the case. With Shen Long absent, they had indeed gained the upper hand and had severely wounded the Qinglian Sword Venerable. Had it not been for the intervention of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator from the Snow Clan, the Qinglian Sword Venerable would have perished.

"The Snow Clan has actually joined the battle; our situation has become even more difficult," Tuna said with a frown.

This battle resulted in the fall of one Tianyuan Tribe Divinity Transformation Cultivator and grave injuries to two others.

After this battle, the Tianyuan Tribe no longer had the strength to counterattack.

"It’s rare that the Snow Clan would come to support the Human Clan, crossing several realms in between," Tuo Shan said, frowning.

"If it were just Shen Long in the Tianji Realm, the Flying Feather Tribe might be able to hold him off. But if they can’t, and Shen Long returns to the Tianyuan Realm, our pressure will increase even more," said Yin Hu with a gloomy face.

"The Flying Feather Tribe’s Escape Speed is very fast. As far as I know, when a junior Soul Transformation Cultivator from the Flying Feather Tribe uses the Wind Escape Technique, they can perform Instantaneous Movement for more than three hundred li at once. Even if they can’t win, they should be able to escape, right?" Yin Qingqing analyzed.

A fourth-order Wind Escape Technique used by fowls cannot transport them a hundred li in one go, so for a Soul Transformation Cultivator from the Flying Feather Tribe to transport more than three hundred li at once is quite good.

"If it were only Shen Long in the Tianji Realm, that’d be one thing. My concern is that the Human Clan has new reinforcements," said Yin Jie, frowning.

"If the Flying Feather Tribe had supported us and we had repelled the Human Clan, we could have helped them take down the Tianji Realm. Now it’s too late to say anything," said Yin Hu with some dissatisfaction.

Tuo Shan and Tuna exchanged a glance and remained silent.

When the Tianyuan Tribe was strong, they followed the principle of putting the Tianyuan Tribe first.

Years ago, when the Flying Feather Tribe clashed with the Human Clan and was not their match, they sought help from the Tianyuan Tribe, which was also engaging in combat with the Human Clan at that time.

The Tianyuan Tribe agreed to support the Flying Feather Tribe and asked them to hold off the Human Clan’s attacks.

The Flying Feather Tribe believed them and desperately resisted, suffering heavy losses until the Human Clan retreated, but the Tianyuan Tribe’s reinforcement had yet to arrive.

The Tianyuan Tribe’s explanation was that they had sent reinforcements but they were intercepted by Human Cultivators along the way.

In battles with the Human Clan, the Tianyuan Tribe took most of the benefits, cultivating a large number of experts, while allies like the Goldscale Clan and the Purple Charm Clan gained little and felt resentment but did not dare to express it.

In the past, the Tianyuan Tribe’s strength was strong, and other clans dared not say anything. Now that the Tianyuan Tribe’s strength has greatly diminished, other clans no longer obeyed its commands.

The Goldscale Clan and the Purple Charm Clan needed the existence of the Tianyuan Tribe for two reasons: first, to serve as targets to attract the Human Clan’s firepower, and second, to act as a buffer zone. If the Tianyuan Tribe was annihilated, the Human Clan would turn their attention toward them.

If the Tianyuan Tribe hadn’t tricked the Flying Feather Tribe back then, perhaps the Flying Feather Tribe would have come to their aid.

"The Human Clan’s power was originally stronger than ours, and now with new reinforcements, it will be very difficult for us to hold them back. Taoist Friend Yin, wouldn’t your people in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot be willing to help by descending to the Lower Realm?" Tuna asked perplexedly.

"Yes! If your people from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot are willing to help, surely the Human Clan could be resolved quickly," Tuo Shan agreed emphatically.

When the Goldscale Clan’s Soul Transformation Cultivators employ the Goldscale Battle Armor Divine Skill, they can withstand an attack from a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, but the Snow Clan’s Innate Divine Ability, the Icy Snow World, counters the Goldscale Clan, and one of their Soul Transformation Cultivators was seriously injured by Xue Yao and couldn’t battle in the short term.

At this point, they saw no hope for the Tianyuan Tribe to repel the Human Clan. If the Tianyuan Tribe really fell, the Goldscale Clan and the Purple Charm Clan would also suffer.

"If they descend to the Lower Realm to support us, the Human Cultivators in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot will also descend to the Lower Realm, and our situation will become even more difficult. Moreover, it’s not easy for the cultivators from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot to descend, and it involves great risks; they won’t come down easily," explained Yin Jie.

The Tianyuan Clan in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot was greatly weakened and unwilling to spend a lot of resources to dispatch people to the Lower Realm; naturally, Yin Jie would not tell outsiders the truth.

"If they dare exterminate us, our people from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot won’t just stand by. If worse comes to worst, we’ll just give the majority of the Tianyuan Realm’s territory to the Human Clan," said Yin Qingqing with a frown.

She herself had no certainty, but she couldn’t show it in front of Tuo Shan and Tuna.

"Anyway, we can’t go to war anymore. As Fairy Yin said, if push comes to shove, we’ll just cede most of the Tianyuan Realm to the Human Clan."

Tuo Shan frowned as he spoke.

Having initiated attacks twice and suffering heavy losses both times, they really had no confidence in taking the offensive against the Human Clan again. It would be sufficient to hold their ground and not make any moves.

Yin Jie nodded, "That’s the only option left. Everyone, go back and rest!"

Tuna and Tuo Shan stood up, bid their farewells, and went to rest.

...

The Thunderclap Mountain Range was located in the eastern part of the Thunderclap Realm, where lightning and thunder clashed incessantly.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Thunderclap Clan was but a small tribe that thrived and expanded in this area, and has now become the most prominent clan in the Thunderclap Realm.

A dazzling golden hall bore a plaque with the words "Thunderclap Hall" inscribed in silver.

A tall man dressed in a golden robe sat in the main seat. The man had patterns resembling lightning on his skin and, similar to the Human Clan, had a long nose and large ears.

A beautiful young woman in a golden skirt stood beside him, her expression serious.

"Taoist Friend Lei, I implore you to dispatch your troops to assist us as quickly as possible."

The young woman in the golden skirt spoke sincerely.

Wu Yu, early stage of Divinity Transformation.

"You’ll speak once your promised offerings are delivered. Promises can be empty, but that which is in hand is real," the man in the golden robe said indifferently.

Lei Ting, early stage of Divinity Transformation.

"Alright! I will hurry back and deliver the items, and I hope you will honor our agreement," Wu Yu consented and then turned to leave.

...

In the Tianyuan Realm, Three Saints City.

In the Spirit Control Garden, Yuan Rui sat within a cyan Stone Pavilion, with Liu Yuruo reporting the situation to him.

"Disciple has sent out quite a few hands, but so far, there’s no news of the fifth-tier Demon Ape Essence Blood."

Liu Yuruo reported respectfully.

"Keep a close watch! Even if there’s no news of the fifth-tier Demon Ape Essence Blood, news of a fifth-tier Demon Ape will do," Yuan Rui instructed.

"Yes, Disciple understands," Liu Yuruo replied in agreement.

"Senior Brother Yuan, are you searching for the Essence Blood of a fifth-tier Demon Ape?"

A resounding male voice rang out.

As soon as the voice fell, Shen Long walked in.

After leaving the Tianji Realm, Shen Long returned to the Qingmei Realm and then arrived in the Tianyuan Realm from there.

"Junior Brother Shen, you’re back. How’s the battle situation in the Tianji Realm? Did you fend off the Flying Feather Tribe?" Yuan Rui asked with a smile.

"We’ve temporarily repelled them, but they might return in force. Worried that the Tianyuan Tribe might counterattack, I rushed back here immediately, but I didn’t expect to be too late anyway," Shen Long reported truthfully.

"No harm done. The Snow Clan supported us, and the Tianyuan Tribe didn’t gain any major advantages. Without reinforcements, they’re powerless to launch a counterattack," Yuan Rui said, smiling.

Shen Long took a seat and started to chat with Yuan Rui.

"You’ve slain four Soul Transformation Cultivators! Junior Brother Shen, you’re now a representative figure of our Qianyang Realm," Yuan Rui praised with pride on his face.
