Chapter 1542 - War
Liu Wuxie stepped out of the courtyard and stared at the Black Crow Clan, letting silence settle over him. He wanted nothing to do with this mess, yet he knew he couldn't cleanly pull away and leave now.
The trouble had started because of him, and the Black Crow Clan had mobilized its army after sensing the threat he represented. The Feathered Emperor had shown him kindness, and Liu Wuxie couldn't watch the Spirit Clan get wiped out. The realization boxed him into a dilemma.
Once he stepped into this mire, he would struggle to tear himself free.
The Spirit Clan had already mobilized their warriors, and they flew to the edge of the restriction. They hovered there in formation, waiting for the order to charge into the sky.
The gap between the two races was far too large, and the Spirit Clan's numbers weren't even one-tenth of the Black Crow Clan's. This battle carried no suspense at all.
In the past, when the Black Crow Clan had invaded, the Spirit Clan had only managed to endure by leaning on the Sky City's defenses. But the situation had shifted now, because the Black Crow Clan had summoned elite forces with no less than thirty cultivators at the high levels of the Heaven Gaze Realm.
With such a terrifying lineup, the Spirit Clan stood on the brink of destruction. The Spirit Clan's warfare remained too simple because individual combat could never match the might of coordinated combat. If the Spirit Clan had trained an elite troop—something like the Heavenly Dao Society's Moon Tribulation Incineration Array—they would be able to sweep through all their enemies.
It felt as though everyone had forgotten about Liu Wuxie entirely, because the whole Spirit Clan threw themselves into the war, aside from the old, young, and disabled. Even the Spirit Clan's elders who had been in seclusion inside the castle emerged one after another, yet their number of cultivators at the high levels of the Heaven Gaze Realm still fell short of the Black Crow Clan.
When Liu Wuxie stepped out of the courtyard, he found himself in an open area that offered him a clearer view of everything.
Ariel gripped a long pike and wore golden armor that made her look valiant. She was still exploring the Soul Forge Art and had yet to master it, having only grasped its first form—Soul Spear.
"Hand over that human brat, and I will consider letting your Spirit Clan's bloodline continue," said a burly man in black armor as he strode out from the Black Crow Clan's ranks. His pitch-black feathers gleamed beneath the sunlight, their glare so sharp that others could not meet his gaze head-on.
He had reached the pinnacle of the Heaven Gaze Realm, and his strength felt terrifying. As long as Quasi-Immortals didn't come out, the pinnacle of the Heaven Gaze Realm stood at the summit of the astral domain.
