Over The World, Beyond Heaven

On Zi-Dong-Lei's side and the temporary alliances that had gathered to deal with the Mou Clan, they were all furiously and heavily attacking the Mou Clan's defensive tactical formation simultaneously, hoping that the protective barrier formed by the tactical formation would eventually crack and collapse.

"No need to rush, they can't go out now. And no matter how much protective energy this tactical formation has, if it's continuously attacked like this, it will surely collapse soon!"

Yes, sir, City Governor!

Continue attacking, don't give them a chance!

Yaaaaa!

Swish!!!

Sssss!!!

Booooooom!!!

[Dancing Serpent Lance Skill]

Stab! Stab! Stab!

Booooooom!!!

[Snow Scattering Clouds Saber Skill]

[Hundred Cutting Boards Kitchen Knife Skill]

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Stab! Stab! Stab!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Sssss!!!

Booooooom!!!

Everyone used their fighting skills to the fullest, and whenever anyone's energy was running low, they would take turns replacing each other without leaving a gap for even a minute. Doing so would cause the Mou Clan's protective shield to be attacked all the time. Besides, they also divided some forces to prepare for an emergency fight in case the Mou Clan wanted to take the opportunity to attack them.

As for the Mou Clan, everyone was starting to feel very stressed and worried. They still had not received any news from Predecessor Mou-Suan. If their Predecessor lost the battle, the Mou Clan would be finished. But if their Predecessor won over the Zi Clan Predecessor, they still had some hope.

"You guys are born a member of the clan, so if you are going to die, you must die in the Mou Clan! If anyone dares to escape or betray the clan, I will make that person suffer the most before they die. So, prepare yourself. We won't allow them to attack us unilaterally!"

Mou Clan Leader already knew that it would be useless, but he had to say something to get everyone in the clan back in the fighting spirit with threatening words that were no different from holding a sword to their necks.

Ye… yes, sir, Clan Leader!!!

Although the remaining great skilled masters and elders of the Mou Clan were unwilling, they could not refuse the Mou Clan Leader's order. Because with their energy level, no one could beat him. Since no matter which path they chose, they would die anyway, they tried to suppress their fear and anxiety.

"Da-Xie, Xiao-Qing, and Ren-Yang follow me inside!"

Yes, sir, Father!!!

Of course, the clan leader's three children were also there. But because they were too weak to join the war, their father ordered them to stay in the mansion. But the situation at that time was getting worse, so he wanted to say something to his children.

Inside Mou Clan Leader's private office...

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Father!!!

"I called you here because I have something important to talk to you about. Our Mou Clan is nearing its end now, but I won't let it end like this. So, I want you to take all our clan's treasures and valuables and escape via the secret route!"

Hah!?

Secret route?!!

The three of them were puzzled when they heard that. They had never heard of the secret route that their father mentioned.

"Only the clan leaders can know this secret, so it's normal for you all not to know. But today, I have to break that rule. I must tell you and send the three of you who are the hope of the Mou Clan away safely so that our Mou Clan can continue to exist in this world and wait for the day when we'll become strong again. Then, you all will have to come back to take revenge on Zi Clan and every clan in this city!"

The Mou Clan Leader had high hopes for his three children. If they could escape, his Mou Clan would still exist. Even if it took ten years, a hundred years, or even thousands of years, it would not be too late for them to come back and take revenge.

Father!

"I won't go anywhere. I'll stay here with you. Even if I die, I'll die with you!" However, the Mou Clan Leader's eldest son refused to escape to save his life. He chose to stay and fight alongside his father bravely, like a man.

"Me too, Father! I'll stay and fight those damned people with you. Even though I'm a woman, my heart is as strong as a man's!" Even his daughter chose to fight. She would rather die than run away with no dignity.

"As for me, ... I'll... do what Father wants. If you want me to go, I'll go. But if you want me to stay, … I'll stay!" However, his youngest son hesitated. He did not want to die. But he could not speak like a coward, so he spoke indirectly instead.

Huh!

Coward!

Useless!

His eldest brother and second sister both turned to stare at him, before cursing and swearing in disdain and dissatisfaction.

Enough!

"I have already made up my mind, so the three of you go prepare yourself. In a while, I'll take you and the people who had to escape with you to gather at the secret route. You can leave now!"

Yes, sir, Father!!!

Sigh...

Mou Clan Leader let out a long sigh of helplessness and said to himself dejectedly, "Why does it have to be like this in the era when I'm the clan leader? Then how am I supposed to meet the clan's ancestors? Siiiiiigh! By the way..., how is Father doing now?!"

However, he would never give up and let things end like that. Because the path he chose could not be reversed. He could only move forward.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

"Report, Clan Leader! Our informants outside have reported the Master Predecessor's fight. Now, Mas… Master Predecessor has lost, sir!"

Flap!

Ah!

When Mou Clan Leader heard that, his legs went weak and he immediately sat down in his chair. His face was pale and gloomy.

"I understand. You go out first!"

Yes, sir, Clan Leader!

Of course, the news of their Predecessor's defeat had not yet been spread throughout the clan, as the clan leader had ordered him to report to him alone. So, everyone in the Mou Clan still had little hope of surviving this crisis.

"If Father is defeated, then Zi Clan Predecessor will definitely come to join Zi-Dong-Lei now! There's no time to waste. I have to hurry up and send the three of them out as soon as possible!"

Although the Mou Clan Leader felt sorry for his father's defeat and execution, he could not sit around feeling sorry for himself and do nothing. The Mou Clan was already hanging by a thin thread, so the only way for the Mou Clan to survive was to send the Mou Clan Leader's three children away as quickly as possible.

"Fourth Elder, come to see me!"

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Respect, Clan leader!

"I don't want to waste any more time. You quickly go to bring my children and all the geniuses who are the hope of our clan to gather at the meeting point now!"

Yes, sir, Clan Leader!

Although the Fourth Elder did not know why his clan leader was in such a hurry, since this was an order, he did not dare to ask too much and immediately went out to handle the task assigned to him.

"First Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder, the three of you, go to help strengthen the energy of the defensive tactical formation even more. Elder Regulator, Elder Trade Superintendent, and other elders go to help supplement the energy of the main attack tactical formation!"

Yes, sir, Clan Leader!!!

Mou Clan Leader immediately ordered everyone to quickly do the necessary tasks to cope with Zi Clan Predecessor and City Governor Zi-Dong-Lei. Other than using tactical formation to defend and counter, Mou Clan Leader could not see how he could fight against the two seventh-level Great Deity Stage grandmasters.

Back to Zheng Fu, four hours later…

Booooooom!!!

The fourth level of the Great Deity Stage!

After four hours of swallowing some of Elder Mou-Suan's memories and energy, Zheng Fu finally succeeded. This caused his energy level to break through to the fourth level from the intermediate third level of the Great Deity Stage in no time.

Great!

"It's really worth it. It's a pity that I have only swallowed four parts of this oldy's energy. If I could swallow more, it would be great. However, this swallow method is very risky. If I'm not in a peaceful area where no one can disturb me, it might be me who will suffer damage in the process!"

Zheng-Fu was both happy and sad at the same time. He could not swallow more of Elder Mou-Suan's energy. There were many limitations to using this skill, and he could not use it indiscriminately. Otherwise, he might suffer serious consequences.

However, this time, Zheng-Fu could still consider himself successful. From Elder Mou-Suan's useful memories, he knew that the Mou Clan had a secret route, and they planned to send some of their youngsters away through it if their other plans did not work out as they had intended. Of course, besides sending the youngsters away, they would also have them take all of their treasures with them.

Huh!

"Judging from the timing, it should be time for them to send their youngsters out via the secret route. Or maybe they have already started doing it. If so..., Hu hu!"

Zheng-Fu smiled slyly at the corner of his mouth as he thought about it. He had his sights set on the treasures that the Mou Clan's younger members had brought out. In the future, his clan would need to use a lot of resources to develop, but the resources he had were not enough. So, if he could obtain the treasures and resources that the Mou Clan had accumulated for a long time, he would not have to worry about the resources needed to develop his clan for many years.

Whooooosh!

In a dense forest about ten li away from Demon's Hill City...

Spit!

"Damn it! Why do I have to crawl out like a dog? Is this a secret escape route or a path for dogs to pass through?!"

The third son of the Mou Clan Leader cursed in dissatisfaction after he successfully crawled out of the small secret tunnel that looked like a dog's path because he had to crawl like that for almost ten li.

"Why are you complaining? Aren't you the one who wanted to escape? This should be satisfying to you!" His elder brother spoke with a similar dissatisfaction. But it was not because he had to crawl like a dog to escape; it was because he was angry at his weak and willful younger brother.

"Yes, Big Brother, I want to escape! Because I don't want to die yet. I still have a lot to encounter in my life. And if there is a way to survive, why should I stay and fight to the death in the clan for nothing?!" Mou Clan Leader's youngest son immediately retorted to his elder brother without caring what the latter thought. After all, his goal right now was to survive.

You!

"Why are you quarreling? Would you like me to help you?"

Hah!?

Who's that?!
