Chapter 975: Siege! The Grand Ancestor Appears
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
In the Domain of Gods, a squad of warriors rushed in from the streets. They were armed to the teeth and wore somber expressions as they exuded their grim killing intent.
“What’s going on? Why are these warriors gathering? Has something happened?” A pedestrian went up to a roadside stall and curiously asked this.
“Are you still unaware of what’s going on? Several minutes ago, the Skywing Clan surrounded the Domain of Gods! Apparently, it’s because the Skywing Clan patriarch, Xia Gucheng, has inexplicably gone missing. The Skywings believe that this is some plot by the Palace of Gods and have issued an ultimatum to them! They have to either hand over Xia Gucheng in one hour or the Skywings will declare war against the Palace of Gods! All of the clans have begun to mobilize their people for fear of the worst-case scenario.”
“Skywing! The Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade?!”
“Right, the number one of the Eight Blades of the Gods, those guys used for sealing demons.”
“How could they dare to issue an ultimatum to the Palace of Gods? Have they gone crazy?”
“Crazy? They’ve never been normal! In my view, we can’t blame the Skywing Clan on this matter. The Palace of Gods first deceives them, saying that Xia Gucheng is in the middle of a discussion in the hall, but later, when the Skywing Clan said that it has an urgent business and needed to see Xia Gucheng, the Palace of Gods said that Xia Gucheng isn’t there! It’s very clear that they’re hiding something about Xia Gucheng, otherwise the Skywings wouldn’t need to act so recklessly against the Palace of Gods! The Skywing Clan has now gathered its forces and is surrounding the entrance to the Domain of Gods. I really don’t know if this drama is going to end.”
“I’m really getting more and more confused. Isn’t the Palace of Gods a place where the Law God experts gather? Why would they lie? It seems like the Palace of Gods isn’t as reliable as we previously thought.”
Xia Fei’s plan was currently having a rather excellent effect. It was no longer just the Skywings who needed an explanation; the entire Law Realm needed one, too, from the Palace of Gods!
After all, the patriarchs of the various clans all served the Palace of Gods. If Xia Gucheng had encountered some mishap, it was very easy to think that this was the result of a hunting dog being cooked once all the rabbits had been hunted. The others would have to consider whether they should continue serving the Palace of Gods or not.
Of course, this was only part of Xia Fei’s plan. If the Palace of Gods really refused to hand over the grand ancestor, this battle would be unavoidable!
…
The Skywing wolfpack’s siege of the outer hall continued, and more and more people arrived to spectate. Many Law Gods within the Palace of Gods had also come out to see what was going on.
The white-robed elder was livid upon seeing Xia Fei smash their golden signboard, and he murderously glared at the impudent Law Sage but did not strike. Xia Fei had the entire Skywing Clan backing him, so the slightest mistake could start the war early!
It was clearly unrealistic for the Skywing Clan alone to shake the Palace of Gods, but even if this band of the craziest madmen in the Law Realm could not destroy the Palace of Gods, it could still bite off a few chunks of flesh.
“Be careful. This white-robed elder is a top-class figure of the Palace of Gods, the patriarch of the Cyclone Blade, Tadaiji. He had never been on good terms with our grand ancestor,” whispered Xia Ke into Xia Fei’s ear.
Xia Fei smiled and said, “Here I was wondering why he’d act so aggressively to us! So he’s one of the Eight Blades of God. Unfortunately, we’re the Skywings! Since we are bold enough to attack even the Palace of Gods, why would we care a hoot about him? Kill him if he utters another word!”
Xia Ke was stunned and said nothing else. Xia Fei’s killing intent was not fake. Since he had decided to siege the outer hall, he had no plans on giving up easily!
The ranks were neat and orderly!
The Skywing wolfpack’s ranks had encircled the outer hall, with Xia Fei, Xia Ke, Xia Guanghai, and Xia Guanghai standing at the very front.
Curiously, the leader of this operation was the youngest and least experienced, and the plan had also been devised by Xia Fei.
None of the generals of the clan were unhappy about this. After all, Xia Fei was the strategist appointed by the grand ancestor; he was also a member of the White Flamingo Squad, a Godwing, and a Fiendwing! It was only a matter of time until he inherited the grand ancestor’s position. Age was not important. What mattered was ability!
Xia Fei clearly possessed tactical acumen, and his manner of doing things aligned with Skywings’ style perfectly! He was fierce enough, ruthless enough, and cunning enough!
As the minutes went by, the Skywing wolfpack remained determined, their bodies never relaxing, standing like wooden pillars around the outer hall.
The small-eyed manager panicked and ran up to Xia Ke, saying a pile of words to him, essentially telling him that the Skywings should not be so openly hostile and that there needed to be some room left so they could still work together in the future.
Alas, Xia Fei’s cold words immediately shut him up.
“There’re still thirty-seven minutes and fifteen seconds left until the war begins,” said Xia Fei sternly as he eyed the timer.
The manager was stunned, and he continued chattering on about how Xia Fei and the others should go rest inside and how there was still room to negotiate.
Xia Fei was not so polite this time, immediately cursing at him. “Screw your mother! If you say another word, I’ll kill you!”
The manager grimaced. All the people serving the God Race had some dignity, and he had never encountered someone as brutish and as unreasonable as Xia Fei.
The Skywing warriors behind him made understanding smiles. While the words were vulgar, this was the stance of the Skywings! Being polite to the enemy? Sorry, but that had never been the style of the Skywings!
Several minutes passed, and another manager from the Palace of Gods came over to try and persuade them, but Xia Fei simply barked, “Scram!” His attitude was so arrogant that it almost made the manager vomit blood!
No one said anything. The tension outside the outer hall hit maximum saturation! Even a fool could see that the Skywings were truly about to go crazy!
“The last five minutes!” said Xia Fei grimly, his face dark.
Countless eyes were staring at that fate-deciding screen. As the seconds counted down, the war between the Skywings and the Palace of Gods drew closer and closer!
A single clan challenging the entire Law Realm?! The most lopsided battle in history was imminent!
*Whoosh!*
Suddenly, there was a development within the outer hall. The God Palace Division had finally lost its patience and arrived at the scene!
Shining bright armor! These God Palace soldiers were all Law Sage experts, and there were no fewer than three thousand of them, which was several times the Skywing Clan’s force!
Nonetheless, the Skywings were not at all swayed by the increased vigilance of their adversary. The wolfpack formation was extremely vicious. When they dealt with one enemy, everyone would charge in together, and when they dealt with ten thousand enemies, they would still charge in together!
Moreover, all the elites of the clan were people who had seen rivers of blood. They had fought countless battles while outnumbered! They cared not about how numerous their foe was!
The God Palace Division had just taken up formation and entered a furious stand-off with the Skywing wolves when Xia Fei loudly said, “Last three minutes!”
His voice reverberated through the air, sounding particularly heavy in hearts of the spectators.
“The Skywings are so formidable! Even with the appearance of the God Palace Division, they still don’t plan on backing down.”
“I know. One day, if I’m threatened like this and the people of my clan are as determined as the Skywings, putting their lives on the line to try and get me back, then even if I really die, I’ll die content.”
“There’s simply no comparison, really. Our clans may have one or two fearless souls, but every Skywing member is a bloodthirsty maniac! A clan like this can’t be lightly provoked.”
The resolve of the Skywings had earned the boundless admiration of the various patriarchs. No matter how carefree and unreasonable the Skywings were normally, at really important times, it was these madmen who had the daring and who were truly reliable!
The Palace of Gods had never been pressured like this before, forced into a corner by the Skywings. The Palace of Gods, which had always reigned over the Law Realm, had yet to hand over a convincing explanation, so more and more people had come to believe that they had really done something to Xia Gucheng!
The hearts of the people were unstable. The Law Realm was already under the shadow of war, and now, the highest authority of the land, the Palace of Gods, had lost the trust of the people. The trust the various clans had in the Palace of Gods had dropped to zero.
It was now the final minute, and Xia Fei silently took out Nirvana!
The several hundred Skywing generals behind him all took out their weapons, too, as they unleashed their fiendish energy and murderous aura!
No one spoke, but their aura was akin to ten thousand horses neighing in unison!
The battle had yet to begin, but the intimidating presence of the Skywing wolves was enough to make the God Palace Division’s three thousand soldiers gasp.
The saying was right. Better to kill the king of the underworld than provoke the Skywing wolves! Only someone who had truly experienced the power of these wolves would understand how powerful and crazy these warriors were!
“Ten!
“Nine!
“Eight!”
The several hundred Skywing warriors began to count down the last seconds in unison. The war seemed to be imminent!
At this precarious moment, there was a thunderous bellow.
“Halt! Your patriarch has something to say!
Xia Fei raised his head and saw that the visitor was none other than Old Man Sigh!
He had a rather good impression of Sigh. After all, this elder had noticed Oro and the secret of the Gods of Black and White but had not exposed Xia Fei, leaving him some room for maneuvering.
Lightly nodding, Xia Fei ordered the wolves behind him not to stay their hands for now and to listen on what Sigh would say first.
“Whew!”
The God Palace Division soldiers felt like they had been granted a great amnesty. In just a few more moments, the Skywing wolfpack formation would have been mobilized! Any warrior with some experience would not want to fight with the Skywings. Moreover, this wolfpack formation consisted of several hundred of the Skywing Clan’s strongest warriors. Even the weakest was a high-leveled Law Overlord that boasted of impressive power.
“You have one minute,” said Xia Fei sternly to Sigh.
Sigh was taken aback at first, but in the next second, he chuckled. “Kid, you’re always this intimidating. Your grand ancestor is currently doing very well, and he has something to say to you all.”
*Whoosh!*
Sigh opened his communication device and started a video call. What appeared on the screen really was the Skywing Clan’s grand ancestor, Xia Gucheng!
“Grand ancestor!”
“Old man!”
“Patriarch!”
The Skywing wolves were all moved as they called to Xia Gucheng.
Looking at each person in the crowd, Xia Gucheng gave an understanding smile and appeared to be very happy.
Only Xia Fei was slightly startled. His gaze then darkened as he dropped his head.
“Hahaha! You kids actually had the outer hall of the Domain of Gods surrounded?” Xia Gucheng laughed. “Good job! That’s the style of the Skywing Clan!”
*Thump!*
The surrounding spectators almost fell over. The first thing the Skywing grand ancestor said was that Xia Fei’s lot had done a good job besieging the outer hall… What was going on? Was this old man going to clap his hands and tell the Skywing wolfpack to attack even harder?
After saying this, Xia Gucheng suddenly became very solemn..
