"Boom!!"
"Hiss!!"
A fierce roar echoed above the sky, followed by a dazzling flash of thunder that quickly vanished.
Then, a large burst of blood showered down from the sky, transforming into a rain of blood.
Vivid and resplendent!
Countless lights steamed from the blood flowers, then disappeared.
"Boom!!"
Finally, the rain of blood completely dissipated.
Signaling that the three heritage elders sent out by the Ji Clan this time all died at their hands.
"This guy is dead, there should be one more left!"
"Should be guarding over at Donghua City!"
"Then letâs hurry over there!"
After killing Ji Eighteen, Wei Qiankun and Ji Wudao took a few deep breaths and began talking, ready to head over to Donghua City to kill the last one.
Mu Jinyu heard their conversation and hurriedly said, "No need, thereâs no rush to go there!"
"Hmm?"
"Why?"
Hearing Mu Jinyuâs words, Wei Qiankun and Ji Wudao slightly paused their steps, stood in the sky, and looked down at Mu Jinyu, asking softly.
Mu Jinyu replied, "Because the Ji Clan elder guarding over at Donghua City has already been killed by me!"
"Already killed by you?"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyuâs words, they looked at Mu Jinyu in great surprise, expressions filled with disbelief.
It was indeed incredible, considering the strength of the three elders directly attacking into Dongyue Mansion from the Yaao Clan, Ji Eighteen should be the weakest among the Ji Clan elders sent out.
But even though Ji Eighteen was the weakest, they were still fought through great hardship.
Ultimately, it was by trading wounds that they managed to exhaust him to death.
And Mu Jinyu said a Ji Clan elder stronger than Ji Eighteen has already been extinguished by him?
Itâs naturally hard for them to accept.
"Hmm, I went out to Dongyue Mansion for some matters and ran into someone named Ji Shisan. He chased me all around, and I finally lured him to a perilous location to trap him!" Mu Jinyu answered.
Upon hearing Mu Jinyuâs answer, Ji Wudao and Wei Qiankun had slightly strange expressions.
They could listen carefully and tell there were hidden parts in Mu Jinyuâs words.
After all, they were familiar with the surroundings and knew if there were any perilous places that could trap strong cultivators of the Space-Light realm.
But if there was truly a perilous place that could trap Ji Shisan, Mu Jinyu wouldnât have survived to come out alive.
And the timing didnât match up either.
Based on Mu Jinyuâs account, he encountered Ji Shisan while returning, at which time they didnât even know how long Ji Nine and the others had been attacking Dongyue Mansion.
Even assuming they had just attacked Dongyue Mansion and Ji Shisan had just guarded the Donghua City gate before running into Mu Jinyu.
Itâs unlikely they would run to perilous places capable of trapping Ji Shisan even if Ji Shisan thoughtlessly rushed in and died, followed by Mu Jinyu returning.
Mu Jinyu returning within a quarter of an hour to fight shoulder to shoulder in killing Ji Nine and the others would be impossible.
Thus, there were too many dubious elements in Mu Jinyuâs words.
However, they also forgot how Mu Jinyu collaborated with them to kill Ji Nine and Yao Eight. Though curious about how Mu Jinyu managed to extinguish Ji Shisan, since he chose to conceal,
they naturally wouldnât probe too deeply into seeking the truth.
"Phew..."
They exhaled lightly, a lot more relaxed, as Ji Wudao smiled, "Since the person has been killed by you, we can consider ourselves safe this time; nothing to fear now..."
"Hmm?" Mu Jinyu was surprised to hear Ji Wudaoâs words, asking confusedly, "Senior, why do you say weâre safe?"
"I feel these elders of the royal clans may not only be this few, as their names suggest more skilled ones may exist..."
Ji Wudao nodded then shook his head, "Indeed, itâs likely each royal clan has thirty or forty, even forty or fifty elders at Zenith Space-Light Realm..."
"Theyâre top-grade cultivators from every era left behind, so theyâre called heritage elders of the clan!"
"Oh my!"
Hearing Ji Wudaoâs words, Mu Jinyu, although somewhat prepared mentally, couldnât help but take a gasp of cold air in shock.
It was terrifying to consider forty to fifty peak-level masters!
No wonder they disregard Dongyue Mansion, intending on personally attacking the mansion due to the death of a highly talented Heavenâs Pride from their clan; absurdly arrogant.
With such confidence, naturally, they have the arrogance to match!
Had they gone full throttle, Dongyue Mansion would certainly not be worth considering.
No wonder they dared to posture as the royal clan among Human Race.
Knowing that in the Human Race forces in Canglan Realm, wherever a Space-Light realm master appears, it becomes a top-grade force that dominates one state domain and even influences several state domains nearby.
Just as Dongyue Mansion does.
Considered a superpower.
With Mansion Master Wei Qiankun alone being a Space-Light realm cultivator, yet Dongyue Mansionâs reputation and standing among unacquainted members of Human Race rivals royal clan status.
And a clan producing a Life and Death Realm cultivator, if the affiliated state domain is relatively weak, can dominate one state domain.
Similar to Xuu Changqingâs state domain.
Hence, itâs apparent how difficult it is for Human Race today to groom even a Space-Light realm or even lesser, a Creation Realm cultivator.
But royal clans have, in their midst, at least thirty or forty, peak-level Space-Light realm powers!
This indeed sounds too shocking!
Yet quickly, after being startled, Mu Jinyu felt something amiss.
No!
If these royal clans were truly formidable, Ji Wudao wouldnât have mentioned there being a period of safety for them.
Moreover, considering both Ji Clan and Yaao Clan dispatched three peak-level Space-Light realm powers this time hints at a certain pattern.
It seems these heritage elders all canât emerge together?
"Canât they all come out at once?"
Mu Jinyu, realizing this, asked still heavily pondering.
"Yes!"
Seeing Mu Jinyu realizing without panicking, Ji Wudaoâs cold face cracked a smile, answering, "The lifespan of Space-Light realm cultivators is long, but they canât indefinitely survive; they scavenge in their clans due to special Minor Worlds in their clanâs depths, which allows their survival through perpetual slumber!"
"If they wish to appear, they canât blindly emerge or their bodies and Souls will burst and decay!"
"Only by using special substances from that Minor World can they safely come out!"
"But those special substances are rare, taking many years for a little, hence only three could come out this time!"
After listening to Ji Wudao, Mu Jinyuâs eyes brightened, "Then, does that mean Ji Clan and Yaao Clan are incredibly weak now? Without a single strong Space-Light realm figure, isnât it a great opportunity for us?"
"No, no, no!"
Ji Wudao shook his head, "Though their Clan Leader is dead, along with three elders, it just represents their inability to compete with other royal clans for resources such as the precious Tiangan Secret Realm, not opening them for attacks!"
"For their clanâs Minor World, merged with their territory, anyone attacking their territory prompts these elders to act short-term unharmed; then itâs thirty or forty peak-level Space-Light realm powers attacking together. Whoâs foolish enough to attempt exterminating them there?
