792. Arrived one after another
When the Yan Clan arrived, the ancient clans' gazes were more of a scrutiny, which was quite impolite. However, the Yan Clan no longer had the power to care about such things.
However, Gu Chang was a shrewd person after all, and he immediately stepped forward and started chatting warmly, even sincerely expressing his regret for the misfortune that the Yan Clan had encountered.
During his conversation with Yan Chao, who was leading the group, there was even a hint that the ancient clan would uphold justice for the Yan clan sooner or later. However, Yan Chao was perfectly clear about whether this was genuine or not.
Therefore, Yan Chao only gave a superficially polite reply, and all the Yan clan members who followed him had solemn expressions.
Lei Jingxiao didn't care about that. When he saw Huo Zhi, he went up to greet her with a smile. After all, although Lei Jingxiao and Huo Zhi hadn't met for long in the Pill Tower, they had still fought together before.
"Sister Huo Zhi! Long time no see! Do you remember when we fought side by side in the Pill Tower? This time in the Heavenly Tomb, I'll protect you!"
When Huo Zhi saw Lei Jingxiao, she subconsciously scanned the surroundings with her eyes, and was slightly disappointed when she didn't see the figure she wanted to see.
Huo Zhi looked at Lei Jingxiao and slowly shook his head, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but once we go in, I will mainly target the Soul Clan. Are you sure you want to come with me?"
Huo Zhi spoke sincerely. The Flame Clan and the Soul Clan are undoubtedly sworn enemies. Once you get involved with them, there will be no shortage of bloodshed.
Upon hearing this, Lei Jingxiao's smile not only didn't fade, but instantly became even more intense, his eyes gleaming with excitement. Without hesitation, he replied, "Ha! Isn't that exactly what I wanted? Those Soul Clan scum, plus the Ancient Clan and those eyesores from the Spirit Clan—this time at the Heavenly Tomb, we'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"
Lei Jingxiao spoke frankly and directly, seemingly without any reservations about the power of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan.
On the other side, Jiang Yunyan was currently meditating with her eyes closed, but she was keeping a close eye on Lei Jingxiao. Her heart was also slightly turbulent. Previously, the Heavenly Tomb Gathering was a place for the major Dou Di families to hone their young talents. Because each family was wary of their own geniuses, although there were some disputes, they generally did not break off relations and instead treated it as a friendly competition.
However, the situation in Zhongzhou has completely changed in recent times. The Spirit Clan has launched a blatant attack on the Pill Tower, the Soul Clan has ambushed the Flame Clan, and Xiao Yan has directly challenged the Ancient Clan, bringing the conflicts among the descendants of the Dou Di clans into the open. And the Heavenly Tomb, this enclosed place, will undoubtedly become the perfect spot for both old and new grudges to erupt.
If none of this had anything to do with Lei Jingxiao, that would be fine. But these three things are nonetheless quite relevant to Lei Jingxiao, even if he didn't experience them personally. From a safety perspective, this trip to the Heavenly Tomb isn't so good after all.
For the past three years, she had practically ruthlessly trained Lei Jingxiao, pushing his astonishing talent to its limits, resulting in his current mid-stage Half-Saint cultivation. But the boy's inherent tendency to stir up trouble seemed more restrained, yet also more dangerous, than it had been three years ago. She could almost foresee that Lei Jingxiao would not be peaceful once he entered the Heavenly Tomb. She would be completely unable to intervene then, and could only rely on the strength he had honed over the past three years to weather the ensuing storms.
After the Yan Clan, the Shi Clan, who had little involvement in the many conflicts, was the third to arrive.
The Stone Clan members appeared unusually low-key and composed. There were not many of them, and their steps were steady, landing silently.
The leading man simply nodded in greeting in the direction of Gu Chang: "The Stone Clan has come to attend the Heavenly Tomb Gathering."
They then chose a spot together to wait for the Heavenly Tomb Gathering to begin. The Stone Clan seemed to care little about what had happened to the Ancient Clan or the Flame Clan who were still present.
Following the Stone Clan, almost immediately after them, two distinct yet equally powerful spatial fluctuations simultaneously and violently rippled outwards from both sides of the plaza.
The left side surged violently, and in the instant space tore open, crackling and dazzling arcs of silver-purple electricity rang out. Several tall figures stepped out from within, the leader being an extremely young man. He wore a magnificent purple robe embroidered with lightning patterns, possessed striking features, and was handsome. Unlike other forces, he was both the leader of the Thunder Clan and a prodigy of the clan—Thunderclap of the Thunder Clan!
The spatial fluctuations on the right side of the plaza were gentle yet strange, accompanied by a rich, invigorating medicinal fragrance. A group of people emerged from the spatial passage. Their clothing, predominantly blue, green, and white, was extremely elegant. Leading them was a lean, elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, his eyes bright and piercing, radiating a gentle yet vast spiritual aura. The young men behind him also possessed extraordinary bearing, their brows displaying the unique arrogance and confidence of alchemists.
Seeing this, Gu Chang smiled and said, "Welcome friends from the Thunder Clan and the Medicine Clan."
The elder from the Medicine Clan greeted Gu Chang with a warm smile, bowing and saying, "We are deeply grateful for the intrusion of the Medicine Clan, Elder Gu Chang."
Lei Dong hadn't interacted much with Gu Chang, assuming he'd already locked onto him. When Lei Dong realized the person staring intently at him was none other than his own clansman, Lei Jingxiao, he also let out a cold snort. Their gazes met in the air, neither willing to back down. Clearly, even within the Lei clan, tensions were high.
As the number of people gradually increased, the atmosphere in the room began to become strange, and everyone could feel the undercurrents. After all, the Heavenly Tomb was still very important, and the most important "protagonist" had not yet arrived. Everyone was waiting, and this Heavenly Tomb was sure to be a good show.
The arrival of the Dou Di family did not disappoint the waiting crowd.
As the space opened, a group of people entered. Although their strength was not great, their identities were extremely sensitive at this moment. This was because they were members of the Spirit Race, and it was because four years ago, they had brazenly plotted to attack the Pill Tower, and had almost taken down the Pill Tower's patriarch.
Dealing with the Spirit Clan was supposed to be inevitable sooner or later, but the Spirit Clan seemed to have planned it all along. Immediately after the night at the Pill Tower, they began frantically shrinking their territory. Furthermore, because the Soul Clan's attitude towards this matter was consistently ambiguous, the major Dou Di families never truly settled their stance towards the Spirit Clan. After all, even the Spirit Clan were genuine descendants of Dou Di families. It wasn't until the news of the Flame Clan's annihilation arrived that everyone belatedly understood the Soul Clan's actions.
But not dealing with it doesn't mean the Spirit Race's actions were without fault; how dare they still come?
