Back at the Luo clanâs premise, the Wang and Lin clansâ invasion put the entire clan into a desperate situation.
The Luo clan was already ranked the last of the Eight Golden clans and could barely handle another clanâs invasion, let alone two together.
It was one of the reasons why the Wang and Lin clans decided to pick on them first.
They were the easiest target out of the eight.
Swoosh!
Further away, a figure flew out from the Nine Heavens Lapis Lazuli Realmâs spatial crack â it was Luo Yan.
She returned home to see armies from both Wang and Lin clans marching closer to their gates, surrounding them from every direction.
Shocked, she asked, âWhat is going on?â
âLuo Yan?! Youâre back! Whereâs Luo Yifeng and the others?â
The Luo Clan Leader felt a little conflicted about her return because of the untimely invasion happening. She might have to face a bitter fate together with all of them.
âItâs a long story. Father, whatâs going on?â
The expression on Luo Yanâs face shifted multiple times between anxiety and worry when she saw the armies marching closer.
Even if she missed the details, her guts told her that the Luo clan was facing a never before seen crisis, and things were not looking good.
âSighâ¦â
The Luo Clan Leader sighed and briefly informed his daughter what happened.
The expression on Luo Yanâs face turned grim when she finally learned what happened.
The Luo clan was being forced against their will again.
Previously, the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist forced Luo Yan to become his slave, but she refused, hence a group of disciples died because of it.
Now, the Wang and Lin clans wanted the Luo clan to surrender, but they refused, hence the impending war.
Both Luo Yang and her clan were so weak that they could not, or had no right to, control their own fate.
The thought made her angry and dissatisfied.
âLetâs cut the reunion short. Luo Clan Leader, are you going to surrender and let us set up the restriction seals, or die trying to uphold your dignity? Speak your choice!â
The Wang Clan Leader stood in the sky with a golden armor that shone brightly across the field, complementing his already dominating aura.
Behind him was the army from both clans, all flashing a contemptuous grin at their opponent.
People from the Luo clan were thick with grief and anger.
âLet you plan the restriction seals and enslave us? Dream on!â
âYeah! We will never surrender!â
âEven if it costs us our lives!â
The Luo clanâs disciples furiously retorted at their enemies.
âIt seems like we must do this the hard way,â the Wang Clan Leader grunted coldly.
As his hand rose into the air, his domineering Immortalâs Core energy gushed and spread across the land.
The army behind him was ready for war. All they were waiting for was an order from their leader, and they would charge into the enemyâs front line.
âLin clan, on my mark!â The Lin Clan Leader was also ready to lead the siege.
The faces of the Luo Clan Leader and his people were grim as they worried they might not last long in the battle.
Amidst the tense situation, a figure walked out from the Nine Heavens Lapis Lazuli Realmâs spatial crack, carrying a boundless and powerful aura that swept across the land.
Everyone who sensed the rampant energy presence turned their attention to the spatial crack.
A transcendental figure in white robes walked out from the crack with a few beautiful female cultivators behind him.
âWoah! What a party!â Chu Kuangren chuckled when he saw the armies from three different clans ready to fight.
He had a quick glance at the Luo clanâs situation and swiftly got a general idea of the situation.
âChu Kuangren!â
The Wang Clan Leaderâs expression changed when he saw Chu Kuangren, and so did the Lin Clan Leaderâs expression.
However, the Lin Clan Leader quickly put his heavy expression away and replaced it with a casual smile. He feigned a friendly and attentive tone as he said, âI didnât know Master Chu was inside the Nine Heavens Lapis Lazuli Realm as well. What a surprise. Has Master Chu secured any spoils?â
Him calling Chu Kuangren âMasterâ was a sign that he was willing to show respect, which shocked the people of the Lin Clan Leader.
âNot bad,â Chu Kuangren said.
Collecting the Nine Province Cauldrons alone was worth the trip.
âOh, I see. Congratulations, Master Chu. The Wang clan and us are still in the middle of our affair. Please be safe on your way out.â
âWho said I am leaving?â Chu Kuangren said.
His words sank both the Lin and Wang Clan Leadersâ hearts.
âWhat do you mean by that, Master Chu?â
âMy friends and I have found a number of items inside, and we need a place to refine them. The Luo clanâs premise seems to be a good place as itâs quiet and peaceful. Iâm planning to stay here for a few days.â
His words left the two Clan Leaders baffled.
âSo youâre saying you are protecting the Luo clan? How dare a True Immortal like you oppose us?â
A young sky-pride from the Wang clan suddenly spoke out loudly.
The moment his words traveled in the air, the Wang Clan Leaderâs expression shifted.
âOhâ¦â
Chu Kuangren glanced at the young sky-pride with a hint of violet gleaming across his eyes.
Then, the young sky-pride started to shake before collapsing on the ground without any signs of life.
âSoul attack!â the Wang Clan Leader cried out in shock. His gaze at Chu Kuangren showed more fear than before. âMaster Chu, youâre being ruthless!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThatâs a hot-headed young man who has poor intellect. Heâs going to die soon given that attitude. Iâm just sending him to his maker sooner.
âOr do the two of you want to try my power, the power of a âTrue Immortalâ?â Chu Kuangren said calmly as he looked at the two Clan Leaders.
âYouâ¦â
The hot-tempered Wang Clan Leader tried to argue but was stopped by the Lin Clan Leader.
âDonât! Have you forgotten about the Dragon clan?â
The name was like a pail of cold water splashing onto the Wang Clan Leaderâs face, extinguishing his impulsive anger. It even made him quiver on the spot.
The Dragon clanâ¦
He would never forget what happened to them.
Despite being the strongest of the Eight Golden clans, the entire Dragon clan was wiped out by Chu Kuangren.
In fact, the Wang Clan Leader was still having a difficult time believing it.
âMaster Chu, you and your friends are more than welcome to rest and refine at Lin clanâs premise. Our scenery and environment are ten times better than the Luo clan. What do you say?â The Lin Clan Leader tried to persuade Chu Kuangren with sincerity and the warmest smile.
âI said, Iâm resting here at the Luo clan. Did you not hear me?â
âIâ¦â
Lin Clan Leaderâs expression shifted. âVery well then. Since Master Chu has decided, we wonât disturb you. Farewell.â
Chu Kuangren had stated clearly that the Luo clan was under his protection, and it made the Lin Clan Leader helpless.
With the man there, even if the Lin and Wang clans teamed up, they would not be able to do anything against the Luo clan.
The tragedy that happened to the Dragon clan left a deep impression in their minds.
Neither of them was stronger than the Dragon clan, so no one dared to oppose Chu Kuangren.
âRetreat,â the Lin Clan Leader said.
âDamn it!â
The Wang Clan Leaderâs face was thick with grievance. However, there was nothing he could do.
Meanwhile, the Luo clan was left stunned.
They thought a great disaster had befallen them, but things took a sharp turn when Chu Kuangren came out and got rid of the two clans with just a few words.
âIs Chu Kuangren that powerful?â
âThe Wang and Lin clans had quite a number of Gilded Immortals, but they were deterred by a True Immortal. Unbelievable!â
âOh my Godâ¦â

Not a single sword was drawn and not a single drop of blood was shed, yet what happened left everyone in the Luo clan speechless.
