"When all this is settled, I'll help him unlock his body!"
"Good! Looks like our Xian family is going to raise another peerless talent!"
Xian Wu nodded with a wide smile on his face.
The future of the Xian family seems brighter than ever with these talented young stars!
"Father, please look into who performed the best in this event. I want to reward them afterward!"
"Oh? What do you have in mind for a reward?"
Curiosity sparked in Xian Wu's eyes.
"A fragment of physical origin!"
Xian Wu gasped in disbelief. Had it only been a short time since Xian Zhan fused his physique? And now there was talk of another origin?
"It looks like we won't just get one peerless genius but maybe two!"
Meanwhile, chaos engulfed Feihua City. The ground was covered with lifeless bodies, and the streets ran red with crimson blood like a revolting river. Blood clotted in the air, giving it a metallic smell, which is vile to those who do not see many such things.
Meanwhile, a hard battle was also going on in the domain of the Xian family. Thousands of members from the Cangwu Sect were falling there. While some new arrivals slowly adjusted to such a harsh reality of the spiritual world, others were overwhelmed by it.
The journey of practicing spiritualism is always tough, always accompanied by blood and death.
Xian Yue might have provided the soil for everyone to grow, but he could not guarantee that all would adapt to this cruel reality. This way, some would be left behind, advancing from centre stage to the wings.
The seven elders and the newly ascended Nascent Soul realm cultivators within the family controlled the overall strategy. These elders were prepared to intervene in case clan members met grave dangers. It was because of this reason that though the battle was so fierce, nobody from the Xian family lost their life.
"The sect leader is indeed wise. Now that the Xian family is clashing with the Cangwu Sect, they've inadvertently become our allies!"
A short distance away, a group of figures observed as the Xian family and the Cangwu Sect clashed.
These were several elders from the Lingyun Sect, under the lead of their elder, Peng Fei.
The higher-ups remained silent for the moment, but their ultimate interference would indeed be a decisive moment in the war.
"Haha, of course! As long as they have several elder Nascent Soul realm elders, it would be folly to antagonize them!"
With continued viewing of the conflict inside the Xian clan, Peng Fei's face changed.
"But the Xian clan looks stronger than Elder Chen's description. What is wrong?"
"Stronger than what you saw? What are you referring to?" Chen Yuanfeng asked in bewilderment.
"The seven elders are not the only ones on the Nascent Soul tier; most of the young clan members have reached that rank!"
"What? Aside from the few elders, more people are there in the Nascent Soul realm?"
Chen Yuanfeng was shocked. Just the seven Nascent Soul realm elders were already intimidating; discovering additional younger cultivators at the same level was unexpected.
Even in their own Lingyun Sect, only Xian Ran among the younger generation had achieved the Nascent Soul realm.
"The Xian family is holding a grave secret! What other way would a family in Feihua City have this many powerful cultivators?"
Great Elder Han Zhen half-closed his eyes, and a knowing smile danced on the corner of his lips.
"It seems to be so!" Peng Fei attentively looked at the Xian family.
Across from the Xian family, swirling bright colours that had long been called thunder storms added to the mystery. This maybe connected with the secret family. He really wanted to get hold of whatever power that one was, if it landed on him.
"Enough of that for now; let's not rile up the Xian family just yet. After all, our top priority has to be to take care of the Cangwu Sect. We can worry about our plans later!"
"At this point, we are still in need of the Xian family's favor!"
Just as a messenger rushes inside with hot news: "Sect Master Qi, we just learned that Xian Ran Wushang killed two great enemies from the Nascent Soul realm!"
Everybody stood motionless at that moment, with eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Do you think this is reliable?" Peng Fei questioned, his voice low and urgent.
"Yes, Sect Master! It is true, obviously!"
They looked at each other in astonishment, and Han Zhen was the first to voice his skepticism, "Xian Ran only entered into the Nascent Soul stage recently; how could he possibly have that strength? It doesn't make sense."
As veterans in the spiritual vein, they all knew how hard it was to defeat a peer in rank. But there was something peculiar about Xian Ran somehow defeating two colleagues without even getting hurt.
Peng Fei furrowed his brow at this. "He must have found a special opening or something."
Such things happened all the time in cultivation. This could be the result of a good fortune because he reached such an important breakthrough at such a young age.
"It has probably been a favor from his family!"
Great Elder Han Zhen added his comment.
He had always noticed how the members of the Xian family wielded quite incredible combative prowess, that sometimes, even the cultivators of the Golden Core realm could kill Cangwu Sect brethren with relatively less trouble.
"Let's not think too much about that; we should get ready to fight with me. If we fail, everything we have prepared would be ruined!"
Peng Fei knew that Han Zhen's grandson had been insulted by the Xian family, and with his disposition, he would never let it pass easily. However, vengeance had to wait.
With Peng Fei at the helm, the seniors of the Lingyun Sect narrowed in on the whereabouts of the leaders of Cangwu Sect and it led to the clash of the two sects.
The attendees of Nascent Soul Realm were stronger: their destructive energy unbeaten; fortunately, they fought outside the walls so no damage was made inside the walls.
The battle between Peng Fei and Sect Leader of Cangwu Sect, Ni Fengtian, reached an extraordinary level.
Both stood as the only members of each faction within the Soul formation Realm, where no one else's abilities rivaled theirs.
The two opponents met and said nothing as they took to the skies and clashed with each other in the clouds.
Spiritual energy exploded from both of their sides as it lit up the sky upon colliding with a brilliant light.
But in the same day, a blood-soaked disciple from the Lingyun Sect stumbled into the Xian family's territory. This man had followed Xian Ran and his friends into battle!
However, now, at the gates of the Xian family, he dropped to his knees, tears were running down his cheeks, and he begged, "Please, seniors! I beg you to save the Lingyun Clan!"
He was asking for help!
"Lingyun Sect has come to us for aid?"
Xian Yue was shocked at this unlooked-for news.
He hadn't bothered much with the struggle of the two sects; in fact, he had paid them scant attention as such struggles didn't hold much of interest for him and had no idea about the details!
Were they equals beforehand? Why this sudden turn-about?
As for the information from the messenger, Cangwu Sect, in secret treasured themselves behind refuge and launched an attack on the Lingyun Sect at the strategic advantage, reversing the situation immediately. And now, with the survivors of Lingyun Sect trapped within a valley, they were now facing their most desperate moment!.
As the guardian at the gate of the family house, he was the first to meet the disciple from Lingyun Sect searching for him.
"That explains it, but the real question is, how did they come to us for help? Our Xian family has no direct ties to Lingyun Sect! "
"Could it be because of Xian Ran? "
Xian Yue thought.
"The messenger indicated that we have already killed many disciples of Cangwu Sect. If Cangwu wins this fight, they will surely blame us. All we can do is to make an alliance with Lingyun Sect to fight the Cangwu Sect! "
The Great Elder said, with a hint of disrespect creeping into his voice.
