Chapter 1697: Chapter 1697: No!
In Ying Huixu and others’ view, it would already be a blessing if three to five people from Ying Zhan’s team survived.
But just now, Ying Zhan mentioned that only twenty-six people died in their team. This indeed was hard to comprehend.
Unless the Wu Clan Tribe deliberately spared Ying Zhan’s team. The problem is, the Wu Clan Tribe deployed two Great Witches and five top Wizards, such a lineup speaks volumes, and clearly from the beginning, the Wu Clan Tribe had no intention of sparing Ying Zhan and others.
"Clan Leader, we suffered great losses this time. However, we must thank Mr. Jing Yan. If it weren’t for Mr. Jing Yan, our team might have ended up entirely wiped out." Ying Zhan’s voice continued to ring in the ears of Ying Huixu and others.
"Mr. Jing Yan? The Jing Yan’s Minister who joined us not long ago?" Ying Huixu’s eyes flashed.
Everyone present was a high-ranking member of the Shadow Clan Tribe, none of them lacking in intelligence. From Ying Zhan’s words, they could judge that the survival of Ying Zhan and others was related to this Jing Yan’s Minister.
Everyone here was also familiar with Jing Yan. After all, a Guest Elder at the Wizard Realm was quite a significant force for a power like the Shadow Clan Tribe.
"Yes, it’s Jing Yan’s Minister. It’s Jing Yan’s Minister who saved us." Ying Zhan’s voice was filled with excitement.
"Clan Leader, although we, the Shadow Clan Tribe, suffered significant losses this time, the Wu Clan Tribe suffered even greater losses. All of their five top Wizards died on the spot. Even Supreme Elder Wu Mo was personally killed by Mr. Jing Yan. The only one who possibly escaped was their Supreme Elder Wu Mingjue." As Ying Zhan spoke here, his voice trembled with excitement.
Five top Wizards, one Great Witch.
Such losses would be difficult for even the Wu Clan Tribe to bear.
At this moment, Ying Huixu and others were all petrified.
They seemed to have turned to stone, their thoughts seemingly frozen.
Truly, the news Ying Zhan conveyed was shockingly overwhelming.
Clan Leader Ying Huixu and High Priest Ying Xiao had both met Jing Yan in person before. They never imagined that Jing Yan would be a powerful figure at the Great Witch Level. Moreover, Ying Zhan also mentioned that Wu Mingjue managed to escape, which means that Jing Yan’s strength should surpass that of Wu Mingjue. But Wu Mingjue, he was a Great Witch who comprehended the Dao, not a typical Great Witch.
If all of this were true, then what was the origin of this Jing Yan’s Minister? Why did he come to the Shadow Clan Tribe, willingly becoming a Guest Elder, claiming to be at the Wizard Realm?
However, if one were to suggest that Jing Yan had any malicious intent toward the Shadow Clan Tribe, it wouldn’t seem to fit either. Because as Ying Zhan clearly stated, those five top Wizards of the Wu Clan Tribe and Great Witch Wu Mo were all eliminated.
"Send someone to investigate immediately! Quick, we must uncover the situation on the Wu Clan Tribe’s side." Ying Huixu, after coming back to his senses, quickly instructed an elder.
"Yes!" An elder responsible for intelligence immediately turned around and left.
...
At this time, in the Wu Clan Tribe.
Clan Leader Wu Jiucheng was leisurely sipping fine wine. He was waiting for Supreme Elder Wu Mingjue and Wu Mo to report back.
"Judging by the time, Elder Wu Mingjue should have reported back by now." Wu Jiucheng seemed a bit disgruntled.
However, it was just a slight complaint. Whether sooner or later, it didn’t really matter.
What he needed to consider was how to deal with a potential outbreak from the Shadow Clan Tribe. If the Shadow Clan Tribe went berserk, the Wu Clan Tribe would have to take it seriously. First and foremost, the Clan Leader and High Priest of the Shadow Clan Tribe, both strong figures at the Great Witch Level, were not to be underestimated.
Meanwhile, as Wu Jiucheng enjoyed his wine leisurely.
Supreme Elder Wu Mingjue rushed back to the Wu Clan Tribe through a large Teleportation Array in panic.
Wu Mingjue’s face was terrifyingly pale as he charged directly into the tribe.
The guards of the tribe, seeing someone rushing in, were initially tense, thinking it was someone breaking into the Wu Clan Tribe. However, they soon recognized the face of Elder Wu Mingjue, and the guards who had intended to intercept him quickly retreated.
"What’s going on?"
"Why does the Supreme Elder Wu Mingjue look so distressed?"
"That’s odd, usually, the Supreme Elder Wu Mingjue does things in a leisurely manner. I’ve never seen him in such a hurry."
"Could it be that something major happened?"
"Did you notice that Elder Wu Mingjue’s robe seems somewhat damaged?" An observant guard noted.
"Impossible!" Someone shook their head.
"Whoosh!"
Wu Mingjue, the Supreme Elder of the Wu Clan Tribe, a power at the Great Witch Level, directly charged into Wu Jiucheng’s courtyard and stopped. The Divine Power flowing around him hadn’t been deliberately restrained. Consequently, Wu Jiucheng inside the room immediately sensed the unusual situation and quickly stepped out of the room.
Seeing Wu Mingjue, Wu Jiucheng’s expression subtly changed. He wasn’t blind; he could clearly see that Wu Mingjue’s demeanor seemed off.
"Supreme Elder Wu Mingjue, where are Supreme Elder Wu Mo and the others?" Wu Jiucheng instinctively asked.
"Dead!" Wu Mingjue’s face was grim, his eyes menacing.
"They’re all dead. Only I am left alive." Wu Mingjue’s voice was extremely subdued.
This suppressed voice struck Wu Jiucheng’s heart fiercely, making him feel as if he might cough up blood. He somewhat didn’t understand what Wu Mingjue meant.
"We miscalculated!"
"There was an extremely powerful cultivator hidden within that team, stronger than me. Beside him was a Great Witch level physical body cultivator. Clan Leader, this time we were deceived, this is likely a plot by the Shadow Clan Tribe, a trap set by them." Although Wu Mingjue was in a terrible state, his mind was intact, his thoughts very clear.
He believed that this time their Wu Clan Tribe had likely been deceived.
Wu Jiucheng was speechless for quite a while, his eyes completely red.
That was a Great Witch, and five top Wizards!
"No!" Only after some time did Wu Jiucheng roar angrily, a furious expression on his face.
His voice echoed throughout the entire Wu Clan Tribe. All the tribe members of the Wu Clan heard this angry shout, and each of them instinctively turned their gaze towards the direction of the Clan Leader’s courtyard. They recognized it as the voice of their Clan Leader Wu Jiucheng but had no idea what had occurred to provoke such rage from the Clan Leader.
The high-ranking members of the Wu Clan Tribe were soon gathered together. They then learned from Wu Mingjue’s account about the astounding losses of the Wu Clan Tribe this time.
