Chapter 1304 - 1304: Just Appearing Can Change the Situation

On the second day, there was still no fighting. All parties were only defending and surrounding the enemies' territories. As for Guan-Yong, he had arrived at a mid-level clan to the north of the Guan Clan. According to his clan's informants, a powerful group cooperating with the Men Clan had already headed this way since the afternoon. However, when the young man arrived at that clan, named Crystal Clan, it was still safe.

As time passed and evening approached, there was some movement. A group of about thirty to forty Great Deity Stage skilled masters gathered in front of that mid-level clan. The strongest was at the sixth level of the Great Deity Stage.

At the entrance of Crystal Clan...

"We came here to tell Crystal Clan to surrender to Men Clan. Then your clan will not be wiped out!" a middle-aged man standing at the front of the group of skilled masters shouted in a fierce tone.

Flap! Flap! Flap!

"Good evening, uninvited guests. Even though we're only a mid-level clan, it doesn't mean that you can oppress and bully us as you please. And our Crystal Clan would rather die than bow to the evil Men Clan!"

A few seconds after the man shouted, a group of people soared out from the Crystal Clan mansion and stopped in front of the entrance. Then, someone responded to the middle-aged man fearlessly, and he was the current Crystal Clan Leader.

Huh!

"You won't give in, right? Then..." As the middle-aged man was about to retort, his gaze caught sight of someone familiar. "Oh! No wonder… you guys dare to be so arrogant. It turns out that you're supported by the Guan Clan. How is Guan Clan Leader, Grand Young Master?!" He greeted him as if he saw someone he knew.

Huh!

"A person like you is not worthy of talking about my Father. I never thought that you'd be willing to be a dog to serve the Men Clan like this. Did you really think it through to follow them?"

Of course, Guan-Yong also knew the other party. The middle-aged man who was the head of the skilled master group was actually a mid-level clan leader. His clan had a good relationship with the Guan Clan for a long time, and there had never been any signs at all that he would help the Men Clan.

Sigh...

"I wouldn't do this if it weren't necessary. I wanted to join the Guan Clan and Sang Clan as well. But because our clan owed the Men Clan a favor, we had to pay it back. So, for the sake of our acquaintance, I suggest you get out of here now. I don't want to kill you. Consider it as my respect for your father!"

The middle-aged man did not want to do this either. But because he had no choice and could not refuse to pay his favor. He could only let Guan-Yong escape. That would be an apology from him and his clan.

Huh!

"Master Elder, I want you to think again. You know how evil and shameless the Men Clan is. In fact, the favor that arose between you and them, the Men Clan might have caused it themselves. Who knows? Because they like to do that anyway. It wouldn't be strange for them to do it to you, too!"

If it were before, Guan-Yong would have used his emotions and challenged his opponent to a fight. But because he made a promise to his father and learned his lesson, he changed his nature and chose to use his brain rather than his strength.

Hah!

"Grand Young Master, don't waste your time talking nonsense. We can't retreat anyway. You and your men should leave, or I'll have to kill you here!"

At first, Guan-Yong's words seemed to have worked, but the middle-aged man suddenly shook those thoughts off and resolutely returned to his mission, as if something was bothering him and preventing him from canceling the mission and retreating.

"Master Elder, ..."

"Young Master, our current men are no match for those skilled masters. If there were just that clan leader at this energy level, we might stand a chance. But I sense that among their group, there is another person who's as strong as him, or even stronger, hiding. I just can't say for sure where they are."

Just as Guan-Yong was about to say something, a skilled master that Clan Leader Sang-Huan had sent to protect him spoke up to warn the young man. He and his comrade could not tell where that man was hiding. They only felt the pressure and killing intent that was released for a moment.

Hah!

Guan-Yong's face turned pale when he heard that. They were already hard-pressed to deal with that middle-aged man, but now there was another very strong person hiding there.

"Couldn't we do anything at all, Senior Master?"

Guan-Yong tried to ask for advice from the two skilled masters. He did not want to escape and abandon the Crystal Clan. They trusted him, so how could he abandon these people? If he did that, it would be a stain on him for the rest of his life. But if he stayed there, he might be killed.

"We're sorry, Young Master. All we can do is accept the truth. After all, ..."

"You guys are hiding another skilled master?"

However, the chief of the powerful group that joined the Men Clan suddenly shouted loudly in a commanding, fearsome voice that echoed throughout the area. He wanted the skilled master who was hiding to come out. "Since you're here, come out. Why are you hiding?"

Hah?!

When Guan-Yong's party heard that, their expressions changed again. Because it showed that the hidden skilled master was not on the same side as the middle-aged man. And that boosted their morale.

Flap!

"I give you thirty breaths to withdraw from this place and stop associating with the Men Clan, or else you and everyone you brought here will become ghosts dwelling in the Crystal Clan!"

Hah!

The moment everyone was looking for the skilled master, behind the middle-aged man, a young man suddenly appeared without anyone realizing or knowing how he got there. Especially the middle-aged man who seemed to be the most shocked because he was the strongest person there, but he could not sense the young man's arrival.

Flap! Flap! Flap!

When he saw that the newcomer did not do anything, the middle-aged man quickly stepped back and moved away from his original spot to create some distance before quickly turning to look at that person's face to see who he was.

Hah?!

But the image the middle-aged man saw was very different from what he had thought. He thought that this skilled master must have been a middle-aged man or an elder, but… this man was just a young man in his early twenties.

"Who are you? Which clan are you from?" The middle-aged man had never seen this young man before, so he asked immediately.

"Who I am does not matter. But what you have to do is do as I say without any conditions."

Hah!

Younger Brother Zheng-Fu!

However, while the others were puzzled, Guan-Yong knew this young man very well. He was Zheng-Fu, the mastermind behind all the events that were happening in the capital. However, what Guan-Yong did not know was that this was not the real Zheng-Fu, but a clone figure of Zheng-Fu.

"Young Master Guan, do you know this young skilled master? Is he on our side?"

The skilled master who came with Guan-Yong asked softly. Since each time Zheng-Fu appeared, they had never been present, so they had no idea who this young man was.

"It's not just me who knows him; Father and Uncle Sang-Huan also know him. As for whether he's on our side, I have to say that he's been helping us all along and planning everything for us; that should be more accurate," Guan-Yong explained with a big smile. Because the appearance of Zheng-Fu (clone figure) almost completely removed all of his worries and pressure. With the appearance of Zheng-Fu with such strength, protecting the Crystal Clan was no longer impossible.

Umm!

Although the two skilled masters were still confused, they did not ask any further questions. As long as this young man was on their side, that was enough. At least they had one more powerful person to help strengthen them, and immensely, too.

Huh!

"Do you think you alone can do what you said? After all, your energy level and mine are the same. If we fight, it's not certain who will be the one who..."

Whooosh!!!

Slash!

Arrrrrgh!

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, a thin but powerful energy wave shot past his face before it crashed into one of the skilled masters behind him. Then, that skilled master screamed for a moment before finally dying. Because the energy wave pierced into his heart and almost severed it, leaving only a thin membrane. But that could not save that skilled master's life.

"This is my last warning. I won't warn you again. If you want to fight me, I'm ready to bury you all here!"

Whooooosh!!!

Hah!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Gulp!

As soon as the Zheng-Fu clone figure finished speaking, a violent killing intent instantly spread out around the large area in front of the Crystal Clan. It was so violent that all the skilled masters who came with the middle-aged man unconsciously took several steps back. Even the middle-aged man could not help but swallow his saliva because of the pressure of this killing intent.

"Chief, what should we do next? Is it worth it for us to continue to help the Men Clan?"

"That's right! After all, we have already paid the Men Clan a lot of compensation, why do we still have to risk our own lives?"

"It's not worth it! I won't do it anymore! I'll quit!"

"Me too!"

"So do I!"

The skilled masters who came were not from the same clan. They came from many clans and powerful groups that had come together. But the middle-aged man became the group leader because he brought the most people with him, so he was in charge of taking care of the entire group of skilled masters.

You guys!

Awesome!

'Just appearing can change the situation!'
