Chapter 1540 - The Black Crow Clans Invasion
Liu Wuxie planned to leave the Sky City and return to the Spirit Martial Astral Domain to deal with the Soul Pills situation. He didn't feel any urgency, but the Spirit Clan's territory still made his skin crawl with discomfort.
The Soul Pills matter was still in the early stages of fermentation, and Zhen Yiming had taken on the investigation. Yet, he had found no clues so far, even with Zhen Yiming and the Skyward Gate both chasing the source of the counterfeit pills.
A massive flock of the Black Crow Clan arrived in swarms, blotting out the sky as they launched their invasion. Yet the restriction above the Sky City held them back, preventing them from breaking in right away.
"Damn it! The Black Crow Clan has already attacked us three times this month!" Ariel kept the Earth-Binding Chains and sprinted out of the main hall, beating Liu Wuxie to the exit. She took command of the Spirit Clan the moment she hit the open air, leading them straight into the sky.
If the Black Crow Clan kept pressing, the restriction above the Sky City would only hold for so long before it cracked. Once it broke, the Spirit Clan would step into a never-ending nightmare.
The Sky City served as the Spirit Clan's last line of defense. If they lost it, the Black Crow Clan would enslave the entire Spirit Clan in short order.
Spirit Clan cultivators poured out in waves, men and women mixing as they formed ranks and prepared to fight under Ariel's command. As for the elderly woman, she remained seated in the main hall and didn't intervene.
She stood at the Quasi-Immortal Realm, and if she acted, the Black Crow Clan's Quasi-Immortal Realm experts would respond in kind. The two clans had formed an unspoken agreement around that reality.
Liu Wuxie stopped at the exit of the main hall, caught in an awkward position.
"Feathered Emperor, I'm sorry, but you'll have to stay for the time being. I'll personally host a banquet to welcome you properly once we drive the Black Crow Clan away," Achiel said. He clearly didn't want Liu Wuxie to leave so soon and hoped to offer proper hospitality.
"Achiel, why isn't your chieftain taking action?" Liu Wuxie asked, genuinely puzzled. His Ghost Pupil had already pierced the sky, and he had seen the Black Crow Clan's army numbering over three thousand. Their overall combat strength even exceeded the Spirit Clan's.
If the chieftain attacked, her Quasi-Immortal Realm cultivation could wipe the Black Crow Clan out with ease.
