The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1049 - 408: Hai Xiong Clan_3

"However, the enemy is extremely powerful, belonging to an old Holy King Clan."

"When I received the news, he had already fallen victim to treachery, and as of today, his situation is not optimistic."

"Explain in detail."

Ye Hanjun narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression exceptionally severe.

"Let me get straight to the point."

Ye Yin said:

"Since leaving the Ghost Lamp, I initially ventured out on my own, exploring ruins and scouring secret realms, fortunately amassing a great treasure."

"Later, by a twist of fate, I joined ’Melancholic Rose’ and became a ’Dark Councilor,’ secretly carrying out preaching work."

"This power is typical of ’opportunists,’ wherever there is ’tempting prey,’ ’enticing treasures,’ they are drawn to them."

"Soon, I followed the ’Dark Council Chairman’ to the Cloud Sea."

"The Light Witch God had already perished, and with the Cloud Sea losing a divine overseer, and without a new Divine Enthronement in hundreds of years, the internal situation has become increasingly chaotic, abundant with hidden opportunities."

"Melancholic Rose focused on this point, along with countless other opportunists, they came from all places to the Cloud Sea to plunder forcefully under the chaos, filling their coffers as much as possible."

Ye Yin paused, suddenly his eyes glinting coldly:

"Just as everything was developing smoothly, the Hai Xiong Clan also arrived at the Cloud Sea."

"Although they came later, their style of conduct was extremely high-profile, disregarding the life and death of others, committing all kinds of evil for the benefit of their own clan, their methods extremely cruel."

"Melancholic Rose, had always avoided confronting them directly."

"Yet a month ago, the Hai Xiong Clan suddenly claimed that they had captured a remnant of the Ghost Lamp and would hold a grand banquet next month, inviting heroes from the Cloud Sea to observe."

"Observe?"

Ye Hanjun repeated the word, his eyes also brimming with a murderous intent.

"Yes."

Ye Yin took a deep breath, expressionless, he said:

"The main invitees are from the Light Witch Clan and the Cloud Witch Clan."

"These two clans, although their high-end forces all perished at the Ghost Lamp, the clansmen defending their main base still possess the power to fight."

"Plus their inherent divinity, without a Half-Step Deity emerging, they remain powerful, unmatched."

"The strategy of the Hai Xiong Clan is known to all; they intend to use our clan’s Sealing Emperor as a gift to curry favor with the Light Witch and Cloud Witch, and then form an alliance with them to band together and dominate the future of the Cloud Sea."

"What a ’gift’!"

Ye Liuying remarked sarcastically, her fury hidden beneath:

"The Hai Xiong Clan, if I remember correctly, prospered during the Near Ancient Era, the Tenth Epoch, with several Holy Kings in power."

"In the First Epoch of the New Era, they got carried away and nearly met with total ruin."

"It hasn’t been long since, their wounds healed, they’ve forgotten the pain, and they dare to insult our Sealing Emperor?"

Lieyang Mushoucong also bared his teeth and said:

"In the past, the Ye Clan would have raised an army, vowing not to rest until the enemy clan was annihilated."

"But today’s situation is ultimately different, to the outside world, although my Ye Clan has slain the Light Witch God, the Jester Emperor, with striking battle results."

"But the Womb Death God, Ye Shitian, must also have suffered an irreversible major issue."

"Otherwise, He wouldn’t be failing to take charge of the Red Dust, Cloud Sea, allowing the remnants to barely survive, the Ghost Lamp wouldn’t close itself, the vast Abyss disappearing overnight, overnight, the surname of Ye being silenced like cicadas in winter."

"Various signs are enough to indicate that my clan is declining, like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished."

"Thus, forces that once looked up to us, whether because of old grudges or new resentments, seizing the opportunity to trample on us, speeding up our demise, would likely take delight."

"A mere Holy King Clan dares to provoke a Divine Child?"

Lie Xinxin raised her fine eyebrows, smiling charmingly:

"I did not expect that just after leaving my hometown, I would encounter such an interesting event, totally refreshing my understanding."

"Divine Child, what will you do? As brothers, a rescue must be undertaken, right?"

"Definitely, that goes without question."

Ye Hanjun said gravely:

"Among our clans, although inspiring competition and internal strife is acceptable,"

"The prerequisite is within the same clan, once dealing with outsiders, what matters is crystal clear."

"However... we no longer possess the familial power of our heyday, no backing to speak of."

"With just us, trying to resolve the remaining Cloud Witch Goddess, Light Witch Goddess, along with the Hai Xiong Clan, and other possibly hostile clans...the difficulty is immense."

"Ye Yin, your ’Melancholic Rose,’ how much high-end combat power do you have?"

"Not much."

Ye Yin shook his head:

"Before you appeared, my plan was to take over as the Dark Council Chairman, gaining command over other Guardian Saint Spirits."

"Then, I would try to win over whatever forces I can, and spread panic-causing rumors to delay the banquet as much as possible."

"Despite that, my chances of success are almost non-existent."

"Because the absolute power disparity is clear, once I take action, or if I reveal my real surname, I would also become one of the exhibits at the banquet, not only unable to save Ye Mochou, but rather, making the Ming Lamp Night Clan a complete joke."

"It’s troublesome..."

"Ye Mochou, as a Sealing Emperor, bearing the hope of our family’s resurgence, to be so careless..."

Lieyang Mushoucong muttered, wracking his brains:

"Mu Yi Chong rebuilt his rank, only achieving Minor Saintly Perfection."

"Sword Thunder Child is crucial."

"And Nun Sister, she is the highest combat force we visibly have."

"But she lacks divinity, at best can block a Holy Beast King; if she encounters someone of the same level as a Divine Trace Lineage, she would be instantly overwhelmed..."
