Chapter 167: The Movement of the Giant sand the Arrival of the Spirit Clan
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Day 82 of the Black Mist Calendar.
The 99 Spirit Clan members immediately set off for Bear Mountain.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Hao Lie had a.s.sembled an army under the lead of Apelo, preparing to journey to the Black Feather Mountain.
The emergence of a new generation of tribulation transcenders was a significant event for all clans within the Black Mist Zone.
More than ten days ago, after Apelo told Hao Lie about the appearance of the tribulation transcenders, Hao Lie immediately relayed the message to the Royal Court. At the same time, he began making preparations for war in his own territory.
Today, news arrived from the Royal Court.
The content was as Hao Lie had expected—the Giant Clan officially declared their involvement.
And Hao Lie was the vanguard of the Giant Clan.
At this moment, Hao Lie donned his armor, mounted an exotic beast resembling a tiger or bear, and stood at the very front of the formation. Behind him, tens of thousands of Giant warriors stood in neat rows, an imposing military display!
He waved his hand and the entire army set out!
Beside him, Apelo’s eyes flickered with a cold light, driven by a desire for vengeance. He said softly, “Big Brother, that monster is extremely formidable. We need to be cautious.”
Hao Lie, however, simply waved his hand nonchalantly.
“Brother, just wait and see. I’ll avenge you and it’ll be over!”
Hao Lie had long learned the characteristics of the Mother Tree from Apelo.
It was indeed difficult to deal with.
However, Hao Lie was well aware of the strength of his own clan. How could a mere creature contend with the likes of the Giant Clan, a top-tier great clan?
Was tens of thousands of Giant warriors sufficient?
Insufficient?
There were more to come!
With this confidence, the army led by Hao Lie marched towards the Black Feather Mountain, where the Blood Flesh Mother Tree and the New Yorkers were located.
Half a month later, on the 95th day of the Black Mist Calendar.
Hao Lie’s army was closing in on the Blood Flesh Mother Tree.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Clan, including Velo, arrived outside the Nanxiang gathering place.
From afar, one could see smoke rising from the chimneys of the Nanxiang gathering place and people bustling to and fro. And the black rice fields beyond the city walls stretched as far as the eye could see, tranquil and harmonious.
Compared to when Velo last left, the Nanxiang gathering place had developed even further and become even better.
The Black Mist Zone was indeed fraught with danger.
However, no matter how perilous, it shouldn’t be so relentless as to allow no breathing room between successive waves.
It had been a month since Velo’s last departure. From the current situation, it seemed that nothing significant had occurred in Nanxiang during this period of time.
When Velo brought his clansmen to the entrance of Nanxiang gathering place, an alarm bell sounded in the gathering place.
Soon, Velo spotted Huo Sheng and Bai Tianyu.
He took a step forward and smiled at the two of them, “h.e.l.lo, I’m here again.”
Huo Sheng had a good impression of Velo.
If it was just Velo and Fala coming again, Huo Sheng would welcome them with both hands.
However, now, when he saw the Spirit Clansmen behind Velo who looked similar to him, Huo Sheng could not help but frown.
99 Spirit Clansmen.
Not a large number of people.
But the implications were completely unrelated to the numbers.
After pondering for a moment, Huo Sheng maintained a calm exterior, welcoming Velo with a courteous tone, “Mr. Velo, may I inquire about the purpose of your visit this time?”
His tone was gentle, but the rejection was evident.
This made Kasim sigh imperceptibly.
Putting aside whether these new generation tribulation transcenders could protect the Spirit Clan, just based on their guardedness, Kasim felt that today’s matter was not easy to negotiate.
Velo, however, paid no heed to this.
He simply smiled and said, “Awhile ago, Mr. Lu mentioned that he wanted me to find some Source Power Skills for him. So, here I am, bringing them.”
As he spoke, he took out a pouch, opened it and vaguely saw dozens of Source Power Skill Sealing b.a.l.l.s in his pocket.
This made Huo Sheng hesitate for a moment.
Before Huo Sheng could say anything else, Velo continued, “I wonder if we can discuss this indoors?”
With that said, he hurriedly pointed at himself, “I’ll go in alone.”
Seeing this, Huo Sheng pondered for a moment and nodded, giving a subtle look to Bai Tianyu.
The meaning was obvious.
Go find Brother Lu.
Regardless of whether the intentions of these Spirit Clan people were good or bad, Huo Sheng would only be at ease with Brother Lu holding the fort.
It was the same room as last time.
In the room, Velo opened the pouch, taking out the Source Power Skill sealing b.a.l.l.s one by one while introducing them to Lu Ming.
“This is a Source Energy Armor, capable of transforming into armor during battle to enhance one’s defense.”
“This is the Weapon Transformation Technique. It can transform source power into various types of weapons and equipment.”
“This is the Gale Blade.”
“This is the Spirit Meridian Breathing Technique, which is more effective than the Basic Breathing Technique.”
Despite their current decline, the Spirit Clan had once been glorious. Even though they were now struggling, they still retained their foundation.
They were not lacking in low-level Source Power Skills.
However, Lu Ming was lacking in these…
Many of the Source Power Skills made Lu Ming’s eyes light up.
There was no harm in having more skills.
One Source Power Skill might be equivalent to thousands of basic attributes for Lu Ming.
When Velo finished speaking, Lu Ming’s eyes were practically gleaming like light bulbs.
Turning to look at Huo Sheng, Lu Ming saw Huo Sheng nod slightly, “We’ll take these.”
After saying that, Huo Sheng looked at Velo with a burning gaze, “I wonder what Mr. Velo and your clansmen hope to gain from us.”
Huo Sheng was not easily fooled.
Velo’s actions today clearly indicated that he was not just here to sell goods.
With Hoseong openly asking, Velo briefly contemplated and decided to tell the truth.
He simply stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Ming and Huo Sheng.
“I hope that my fellow clansmen and 1 can find refuge here.”
This left Huo Sheng speechless.
“What virtue or ability do we possess?”
Velo merely looked at Lu Ming.
The meaning was already quite evident.
You guys really can’t do it.
However, Brother Lu was capable…
This made Huo Sheng sigh again, “Mr. Velo, it’s not that I’m unwilling, but I’m genuinely afraid. The karmic consequences for you all are too significant. I can’t shoulder it here.”
Who were the enemies of the Spirit Clan?
Who would find trouble with the Spirit Clan?
Huo Sheng had no idea.
Taking on this karmic burden recklessly could easily bring catastrophic disaster to Nanxiang. From Huo Sheng’s perspective, he would rather not have these freely offered Source Power Skills than have any a.s.sociation with the Spirit Clan.
Lu Ming was not foolish either.
He understood the reasoning well.
Although he was quite envious of the Source Power Skills in Velo’s hand, after some thought, Lu Ming agreed with Huo Sheng’s decision.
However, Velo remained composed.
He continued with a soft voice, “Firstly, we have no enemies, and no one would come to find trouble with us Spirit Clan people.”
“Secondly, what we need is a relatively safe territory nearby. If any outsiders really come to find trouble with us, you are free to sell us out without any resentment from us.”
“”Lastly, I think you all may not be fully aware of your own ident.i.ties. If we talk about karma, the karmic consequences for all of you are much greater than those of our Spirit Clan!”
Velo’s last words left Huo Sheng in silence.
After a long time, Huo Sheng spoke solemnly,
“Please explain further, Mr. Velo..”
