Chapter 367 The Spirit Clan Invades
Chapter 367 The Spirit Clan Invades
Li Sheng was anxiously standing outside Xuan Kongzi's residence because he couldn't contact Xuan Kongzi.
"Little plum!"
Just then, Yang Zhen walked over.
"Elder Yang! I can't get in touch with Elder Xuan. What's going on?"
Upon seeing Yang Zhen, Li Sheng spoke anxiously.
"Don't worry, Elder Xuan isn't at the ancestral court right now. How are things on the Wood Clan's side?"
Yang Zhen reassured Li Sheng and then asked.
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Li Sheng's face darkened, and he said, "This is not good! Although the Wood Clan Chief is willing to support our human race against the Spirit Clan, the elders of the Wood Clan do not agree. Faced with the opposition of so many elders, the Wood Clan Chief can only send his own trusted confidants to support our human race in the end..."
Unlike the human race, the Wood Clan's chieftain does not wield much power; most of the clan's authority is held by the elders' council.
For any major decisions, they are usually made through discussions among the clan elders.
The fact that the Wood Clan Chief was able to send his trusted confidants to help the Human Clan shows that the other side is also sensible, but simply has the will but not the power.
Yang Zhen's expression darkened upon hearing Li Sheng's words. He said indignantly, "Those elders of the Wood Clan are still so short-sighted, only thinking about protecting their own little territory, completely unaware of the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'..."
"Old Yang, where exactly did Elder Xuan go?"
Yang Zhen asked, puzzled.
"I don't know either. Elder Xuan didn't say where he went. He only told me before he left that if the ancestral court was attacked, I should go to the Great Qin to seek their help..."
Yang Zhen shook his head and said.
Li Sheng looked puzzled when he heard Yang Zhen's words.
Where could Xuan Kongzi go at such a time?
What could be more important than the safety of our ancestral temple?
"Elder Yang, would you like to meet with the people sent by the Wood Clan?"
Li Sheng looked at Yang Zhen and spoke.
"Alright, let's meet them! At this point, it's always good to have more support..."
Yang Zhen nodded and spoke.
Afterwards, Li Sheng took Yang Zhen to the accommodations arranged for the Mu Clan.
"Elder Yang, this is Mu Mian, the guard commander of the Wood Clan chief, with a cultivation level at the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm..."
Li Sheng pointed at the green-skinned figure in front of him and said to Yang Zhen.
"This is Elder Yang, the head of the Array Pavilion of my human race's ancestral court!"
Then, Li Sheng introduced Mu Mian.
Yang Zhen sized up the Wood Clan members before him and nodded. Although they only had the cultivation of the early Tribulation Transcending stage, he knew that this was the strongest force that the Wood Clan Chief could send out.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for coming to help my human race..."
Yang Zhen said to Mu Mian.
"I was merely following the orders of my clan chief!"
Mu Mian said indifferently.
Yang Zhen didn't care. Due to their physical structure, the Wood Clan had very stiff facial expressions, almost always with the same expression, making it difficult to discern their emotions from their faces.
"Commander Namu Mian, please rest for now. If I need your assistance, I will send someone to inform you..."
After saying that, Yang Zhen and Li Sheng turned and left.
..................
Several days later, a massive fleet appeared outside the ancestral home of the human race.
Thousands of airships stretched across the sky.
The Human Race Ancestral Court also discovered the situation outside. At this time, it was in complete chaos. Without Xuan Kongzi's presence, the Human Race Ancestral Court was like a pile of loose sand.
Inside the main hall of the ancestral temple.
"What's going on? Why is the Eldar fleet here? Why didn't the imperial dynasties at the front give us any warning?"
"A traitor! There must be a traitor within the human race, otherwise how could the Elven fleet have appeared outside the Ancestral Court so easily..."
"Now is not the time to talk about that. Let's talk about how to defend against the Spirit Race's attack first!"
"Why hasn't Elder Xuan come out yet? Without Elder Xuan's presence, how can we withstand the Spirit Clan's attack?"
"..."
Inside the main hall, all the powerful figures of the human race looked anxious, and their chatter made the usually solemn and dignified ancestral hall resemble a marketplace.
Yang Zhen sat in his seat, his brows furrowed. He looked at Li Sheng and nodded slightly.
Li Sheng immediately understood and left the main hall.
Everyone inside the hall was focused on the Spirit Clan army outside, and no one noticed that Li Sheng had already left.
"Alright, everyone, Elder Xuan is currently in seclusion and cannot come out for the time being. Our top priority now is to stop the Spirit Race's attack. We can't rely on Elder Xuan every time we encounter a problem. If we rely on Elder Xuan for everything, what if Elder Xuan is no longer here in the future? Will our human race have no one left?"
Looking at the chaotic scene inside the main hall, Yang Zhen gave a wry smile and circulated his spiritual energy.
Upon hearing his words, the hall fell silent.
Yes! If we rely on Elder Xuan for everything, what use are these people?
"Hmph! We'll fight to the death! So what if they're the Spirit Race? We've killed them before. This time, we'll show them what I'm capable of!" "That's right, our human race has fought the Spirit Race for hundreds of thousands of years. We've encountered far more dangerous situations than this, but haven't we, the human race, still survived to this day?"
"Fight!"
The atmosphere inside the hall immediately became heated, and the morale of the crowd had been roused.
The main reason is that over the years, the human race has been suppressed too severely by the spirit race.
Even a clay figure has some temper; how much more so a race?
Just as morale was high in the main hall, no one noticed that in one corner of the hall, a man sat in his seat, looking at the scene inside, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Yang Zhen.
"Ok?"
Yang Zhen seemed to sense something and turned around abruptly, but found nothing.
He didn't think it was an illusion, because at their level, the perception of killing intent was already very clear, and it was absolutely impossible for them to be wrong.
Then there is only one possibility: the Spirit Race has planted spies among the Human Race in the main hall.
His brows furrowed. The people who could appear in the main hall were all middle and high-ranking members of the human race, each wielding great power. If the spies of the spirit race were indeed among these people, then things would not be simple.
However, now is not the time to deal with this matter; let's get through the current crisis first!
Outside the ancestral temple of the human race.
Looking at the ancestral court of the human race ahead, Ling Lanting said calmly, "Send down the order to launch an attack on the ancestral court of the human race!"
"Here!"
The lieutenant replied respectfully.
As soon as he gave the order, the psionic cannons of thousands of airships roared in unison, and tens of thousands of psionic shells whistled toward the ancestral home of the human race.
The defensive array of the human ancestral court was activated the moment the spirit race fleet appeared, and countless psionic shells landed on the defensive array, creating ripples.
The formation also emitted a slight hum, but fortunately it could still hold on.
Yang Zhen arrived at the core of the defensive array and organized the array masters of the Array Pavilion to continuously patch up the array that had shown any flaws.
At the same time, they were also on guard against the spies that the Spirit Clan had planted in the Human Clan's ancestral court, to prevent them from destroying the array's core.
