Chapter 423: Chapter 417: The Plan to Save the Clan

Hiss!

Ye Zhen continuously sucked in cold breaths, his teeth chilling from the hissing cold air.

Tragic and horrific!

Too tragic, too horrific!

Ye Zhen could not find more words to describe the bloody battle between the Tiannan Huaa Family and the Phantom Divine Sect.

Ye Zhen did not dare to get too close to the battlefield, but the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten could conceal its power fluctuations with Cloud Qi, so through the eyes of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, Ye Zhen observed the entire battlefield.

Especially when that Phantom Divine Sect Elder’s chest was directly blasted open by a Heavenly Spirit Ship, Ye Zhen was so shocked that he almost screamed.

A General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat!

A General-Level Celestial Spirit Boat capable of severely injuring a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse, one blast consuming at least ten thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals. With the Spirit Energy Cannon at full load, it would use up one hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals in one go, leaving even Vein Forging Realm powerhouses reluctant to block it head on.

In any case, just now Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing hastily dodged it, not daring to take it straight on.

"Boom! Keep bombarding their Soul Sea Realm elders, kill one if you can!"

The Huaa Clan’s Family Head, Huaa Zhu, laughed wildly, and with his laughing figure flashing like lightning, he pursued Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing of the Phantom Divine Sect, who was charging at the Heavenly Spirit Ship to attack it. In an instant, he clashed with Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing in fierce combat.

Boom!

A few dozen breaths later, the Spirit Energy Cannon of the Heavenly Spirit Ship flashed to its peak again. The moment the sound of cracking the sky arose, the head of Elder Hongfeng from the Phantom Divine Sect, who had just climbed up, disappeared without a trace!

"Elder Hongfeng!"

Fuh Dongxing roared with fury.

The next instant, Fuh Dongxing completely erupted, his Protective Spirit Light sparking intensely around him. Three small, exquisitely pure sword shields made of Sword Light suddenly appeared, spinning smoothly.

The moment the spinning sword shields emerged, Fuh Dongxing charged into the group of Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists from the Tiannan Huaa Family as if mad, his Thousand Illusion Spirit Sword roaring and bellowing like a Flood Dragon.

Everywhere the light of the Thousand Illusion Spirit Sword passed, the head of a Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist from the Tiannan Huaa Family would soar into the sky.

Naturally, Huaa Zhu, the Family Head of the Tiannan Huaa Family, would not let Fuh Dongxing run wild. More than a dozen Water and Fire Spirit Flowers burst out at once, striking toward Fuh Dongxing like meteors chasing the moon.

However, Fuh Dongxing disregarded Huaa Zhu’s attack. With a thought, his surrounding Sword Shields flew out together, intercepting most of the Water and Fire Spirit Flowers. The three that slipped through bombarded his Protective Spirit Force and exploded with a bang.

Pfft!

Bright red blood gushed violently from Fuh Dongxing’s mouth.

"Sect Leader!"

"Sect Leader!"

The Elders of the Phantom Divine Sect cried out in alarm, but Fuh Dongxing’s figure did not stop for a moment. His Thousand Illusion Spirit Sword, along with the Hundred Feet Spirit Sword hovering behind him, alternated in strike, reaping the lives of the Tiannan Huaa Family’s martial artists.

"Hmph, if it’s the end for us, let’s all go down together! Even if the Sect Leader dies, my Phantom Divine Sect still has countless Elders and Disciples to rebuild. But if your Huaa Family dies, it will be utterly extinguished! Die!"

Amidst his roaring, another Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist from the Tiannan Huaa Family lost their head.

Huaa Zhu, who was in pursuit of Fuh Dongxing, suddenly stiffened.

The speed of the Heavenly Spirit Ship slaughtering the Sect Elders of the Phantom Divine Sect was much slower. The Spirit Energy Cannon needed at least sixty breaths between each loading and firing.

But Fuh Dongxing could slash five heads off the Tiannan Huaa Family’s warriors within sixty breaths!

Caught off-guard, Huaa Zhu no longer pursued Fuh Dongxing and, like a tiger plunging into a pack of wolves, charged toward the Sect Elders of the Phantom Divine Sect. In an instant, the head of an Elder of the Phantom Divine Sect burst open like a watermelon.

Ye Zhen, who was observing the battlefield through the eyes of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, was completely astonished.

This was no longer a fight, but a competition in slaughtering speed.

And for the first time, Ye Zhen realized that Martial Artists of the Vein Forging Realm could be so powerful.

Like Fuh Dongxing, the Hundred Feet Spirit Sword that always hung high behind him never disappeared. When needed, a single slash could turn mountains to mud; almost none of the Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists from the Tiannan Huaa Family could escape the might of Fuh Dongxing’s sword.

"Divine Power Martial Skills, so terrifying..."

It wasn’t just Ye Zhen who was stunned, but also the assembly of Sect Elders from the Phantom Divine Sect and the group of Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists from the Tiannan Huaa Family.

If this continued, it wouldn’t take long for them to be wiped out by the hands of the two frenzied Vein Forging Realm powerhouses.

The inescapable fear of death also caused the blood and anger boiling in the surviving Soul Sea Realm powerhouses to cool instantly, allowing calm to return.

Or rather, the threat of death instantly sobered them up, giving them time to think things through.

Especially the Sect Elders of the Phantom Divine Sect, like Grand Elder Qing Yii, the Thousand Illusion Eagle King, and others.

They couldn’t understand; they barely held any malice toward the Tiannan Huaa Family, at most only deceiving or using them a bit. Why then would the Tiannan Huaa Family launch such a brutal attack on them?

Huaa Wushuang!

Everything had to do with Huaa Wushuang!

A misunderstanding, it must relate to the death of the Young Master Huaa Wushuang of the Tiannan Huaa Family!

In the blink of an eye, Qing Yii realized this point.

But he didn’t have more time to think through the issue.

We must stop!

This battle must be stopped!

If they don’t stop now, the Phantom Divine Sect would really be exterminated.

Even if the Tiannan Huaa Family would become extinct too, without all its Sect Elders, the Phantom Divine Sect would be nothing but a name. By then, any sect with a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse could destroy the Phantom Divine Sect.

The millennium-long inheritance of Phantom Divine Sect was on the brink of extinction!

"Misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!"

"Huaa Clan Leader, Elder Huaa, please stop, if you don’t stop now, the real killer of Huaa Wushuang will truly become untraceable!"

However, no matter how hoarsely Qing Yii shouted, no one stopped.

The next moment, Qing Yii steeled his heart and bellowed outright.

"Huaa Clan Leader, Elder Huaa, I know who killed Huaa Wushuang, and I also know where her body is! Stop immediately, and I will tell you!"

"Even more, I know Huaa Wushuang left behind a child yet to be born! Your Huaa Clan has an heir!" Qing Yii played his trump card!

The words ’Your Huaa Clan has an heir’ were like a thunderbolt that instantly shocked Huaa Zhu and Huaa Yan, who were engaging in a frenzied battle.

"What did you say? My Huaa Clan has an heir, a child yet to be born? Where?" Huaa Yan moved instantaneously and flashed beside Qing Yii. With a swoosh, a disc sparkling with Spirit Light hovered above Qing Yii.

"I will count to three. Tell me where Wushuang’s child is. If you don’t, I will blast you into smithereens!" The Huaa family’s ancestor wore an expression of urgency.

At that moment, Phantom Divine Sect’s Supreme Elder, Huan Cang, who was being suppressed and beaten, finally caught his breath.

Qing Yii, threatened by Huaa Yan with being blasted into smithereens, made a firm resolve at that moment. His whole body burst with Spiritual Power, he closed his eyes and shouted, "Stop immediately! If you don’t, I will rupture my own heart vein and leave you knowing nothing!"

The Huaa family’s old ancestor, Huaa Yan, was stunned momentarily.

No matter how quick he was, he couldn’t be faster than Qing Yii rupturing his own heart vein.

A dead person, even if one wanted to employ the Soul Searching Technique, it wouldn’t work.

"Stop, everyone stop!"

"Sect Leader, cease your attack, we’ve been plotted against!" At this moment, Qing Yii urgently spoke up, and at last persuaded Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing to stop.

With Huaa Zhu and Fuh Dongxing taking the lead to stop, members from both sides also ceased fighting, quelling the conflagration of battle.

However, the remaining forces from both sides were also not many—such devastation.

The Tiannan Huaa Family suffered greatly. Besides the clan ancestor Huaa Yan, the Family Head Huaa Zhu, and Huaa Wei, who piloted the Heavenly Spirit Ship, only five Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists remained, and both of the Flowing Light Butterflies had died in battle.

From the twenty Soul Sea Realm powerhouses that had come, now only six remained—it was almost a total wipeout.

But Phantom Divine Sect didn’t fare any better.

Among the Sect Elders present, only eleven remained, barely twice the number of the Tiannan Huaa Family.

Yet, this "twice the number" included the Dao Field Elders and the Mining Elders who had rushed from various locations.

Considering everything, Phantom Divine Sect had put forward twenty-six Sect Elders, with fifteen perishing in battle—just one more than the Tiannan Huaa Family. Even Hongfeng, ranked among the top five Sect Elders, had died in the chaos of the recent battle.

Not to mention the thousands of innocent Disciples caught in the crossfire, and even nearly ten True Disciples had been slain.

Such devastation!

More critically, the TIannan Huaa Family’s old ancestor Huaa Yan had previously launched a sneak attack, severely wounding two of Phantom Divine Sect’s Supreme Elders. Currently, he was pressing Supreme Elder Huan Cang heavily.

If the fight did not stop, the Supreme Elder Huan Cang of Phantom Divine Sect would undoubtedly be the one to perish in the last desperate struggle, though Huaa Yan wouldn’t be in a much better condition afterward.

But if that situation arose, Phantom Divine Sect would indeed be finished.

That is why Qing Yii just threw a Hail Mary, even making up the fictitious child left behind by Huaa Wushuang in order to halt this sect-annihilating battle.

As for how to explain himself, Qing Yii was already all in.

If he couldn’t produce the heir, wouldn’t he still know how to lie?

As long as he could delay for a moment and pass through this crisis, that would be enough.

The reason Phantom Divine Sect was in such a dire state this time was mainly due to the Tiannan Huaa Family’s sudden sneak attack. Otherwise, with two Supreme Elders at the helm, Phantom Divine Sect would have repelled the Huaa Clan long ago.

"Alright, both sides have stopped! Qing Yii, where is Wushuang’s child yet to be born? Speak quickly. If you dare deceive me, I swear I will make you regret ever coming into this world!" Huaa Yan’s sinister voice rang out.

"Humph, if you dare touch a single hair on Qing Yii’s head, I swear I’ll kill your Huaa Clan’s child, even if it costs me my life!" Supreme Elder Huan Cang of Phantom Divine Sect’s voice resounded with chilling sharpness.

The child yet to be born was essentially the lifeline of the almost-extinct Tiannan Huaa Family!

"You wouldn’t dare!"

"What wouldn’t I dare do!"

"Qing Yii, send me the location of that child right now—I’m going to eliminate him!"

"Old fool, looking for death!"

Huaa Yan, furious, burst with Spirit Light all around, preparing to launch another assault.

"Elder Huaa, if you dare make a move, I will sever my heart vein instantly!"

Upon hearing this, Huaa Yan immediately held back.

Seeing this, Qing Yii couldn’t help but smile wryly. When had he, Qing Yii, ever needed to repeatedly threaten suicide in order to protect his sect?

In the distance, Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing of Phantom Divine Sect watched with blood slowly dissipating from his eyes as rationality suppressed rage and returned to him. His gaze was filled with sorrow, and amidst his heartache, he began to ponder.

Something was off about today’s events!

"Now, where is Wushuang’s child yet to be born? It’s time to tell, isn’t it?" Huaa Yan pressed.

"Elder Huaa, no rush. The child should be very safe, and I will certainly tell you their whereabouts! But before I do, answer me a few questions first!"

....

In the distance, Ye Zhen, watching all this through the eyes of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, felt a bit vexed—both families had actually ceased hostilities, which wasn’t a good sign!
