Chapter 1445 - Attack
Old man Rebo was dragged to the main hall of the Gaja Clan when his hysterical crazy screaming was in full swing.
He screamed and scolded everything about Gaja Clan, spewing the worst of the insults. He didn"t even spare the Gaja Clan"s leaders and kept on scolding.
This only stopped when he was drawn into Gaja Clan"s Leader"s presence. The Clan"s leader"s look of pure rage made the old man Rebo shudder in his own skin and he went silent directly.
"It seems like Grand Elder Rebo has something to say about Gaja Clan. Please continue. I will listen to everything you have to say. But do remember this, the moment you finish your words, you are going to die.
So, if you want to leave, you need to keep on speaking something. The second your mouth stops making noise, I will kill you in the worst way you could imagine."
Rebo shuddered once again and he almost peed in his pants. He involuntarily looked at the floor. The crystal mirror-like floor reflected his pathetic face to him and when he looked at that tired, scared and disgusting old face, he couldn"t control himself.
The anger once again came out and he looked at the Clan"s leader.
"Do you think I am going to be scared s.h.i.tless because of your threat? Do you want to kill me? For that, you need to be alive, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d. You will die today. Within a few minutes, you will die a tasteless, undignified death, you along with everyone else in the Gaja Clan.
You are all going to die.
How dare you insult our clan? You can"t even control the crazy freaks of your own clan. The experimentation of the Mingiv, do you think no one knows about it?
Everyone knows. Everyone knows that Gaja Clan finally levelled the playing field with the Mari Clan, but being as disgusting as them.
Your time has come faster than Mari Clan though. You will die soon and our clan shall benefit from the death of your whole clan and its legacy."
Everyone in the hall was stunned to their core. They couldn"t fathom someone from a low-level clan talking to them in that tone, much less openly threatening them.
Before the Clan leader could say something though, the old man took out a token and broke it.
As soon as he did that, the subordinates of the elder that are currently being locked up one by one at different locations of the clan, suddenly stopped struggling and moving and stood still.
They looked at the sky with no expression in their eyes. They became like zombies and spirituality started building up in their bodies.
The guards that are capturing them noticed this and swiftly jumped to the side.
But it was useless.
*BOOM*
Ma.s.sive explosions occurred as their bodies exploded with a b.l.o.o.d.y mist and a bit of spiritual energy wave.
As soon as the first explosion occurred the formation has triggered, but before it could completely formulate,
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
All of the elders and disciples that came with the Old man started exploding. They exploded because of their self-destruction, and the explosions caused the formation to die out all of a sudden.
Everyone in the clan heard the explosions. Giyon who was going through the records in her residence, Elders that are working on their daily tasks. The workers and attendants that are performing their menial services.
Everyone heard the explosions and they all felt terrified.
This is the core of the Gaja Clan. Even when Sam threatened them with some of his own explosions, they were just afraid a bit as most of the explosions happened outside the city wall.
But now something happened right in the middle of the clan estate.
There is no way, they could calm down after this. Everyone dropped their task and came out to see what has happened.
Giyon in particularly came out running as she could sense the explosion"s location which is not too far away.
When she looked at the scene, she understood what happened.
The explosion is similar to the ones Sam caused, but this time instead of using some energy, formations and a clever trick, it is caused by the self-destruction of a person.
The explosion disrupted the formation making it useless.
She knows what that means. Someone doesn"t want the Gaja Clan to have a formation that could make them feel safe by restricting outsiders.
It is an attack on the Gaja Clan.
She immediately took out a communication token and spoke.
"Emergency of the highest level. a.s.semble at my residence."
Her voice was steady and firm. She didn"t panic, didn"t even know a hint of fear. She just coldly called for all of her top subordinates to come and meet her.
Her elite squad is still in the city, so there are no problems. She also contacted Sam and explained the situation.
Sam also commanded every one of the elites under Grivon"s subordination and immediately sent them to the clan"s estate, while he also wrapped everything up in the stray realm as he moved to the Gaja Clan.
If even the Gaja Clan is under attack, there is very little that he could do, but he cannot stay there. He needs to save the children no matter what if push comes to shove.
But before Sam could even make it anywhere near the gate of the Gaja Clan, someone else made it.
A group of twenty-five people with menacing auras. The same group that Sam suspected the day before. The same group that Old Man Rebo met within the canyon secretly.
The same group that is about to bring the biggest challenge that the Gaja Clan has ever faced.
They barged through the gates and killed everyone they saw.
Youngsters that are confused about the sudden explosions, the guards that are afraid of what might happen due to the absence of formations, the captain of the guards that was giving the instructions to his subordinates so that they could tone down the panic.
Everyone that is within the few meters of the gate was killed one by one, without even having a chance to defend themselves, not as they could do it. But they didn"t even know why they are dying and what the problem is.
They just died.
After the initial slaughter at the gate. The group split into three.
One with eight, the other one with nine and the last one with eight members again.
One group went directly to the s.p.a.ce gate location of the clan and the leader of that group is also a s.p.a.ce element user.
He went to turn off the s.p.a.ce gates completely so that no one would escape and the unwanted personnel wouldn"t come and they also need to make sure that the person that they need to arrive would arrive here.
One of the teams went to the main hall of the Clan. Where Clan"s leader and some of his highly skilled trusted subordinates and some important members of the clan are present.
At the same time, the third one ran in one particular direction, but halfway through their way, they split into two groups of four.
Four of them went in one direction and the other four continued in the same direction as before.
Giyon"s subordinates finally reached the gate, when the groups already split up and left. They immediately made their way to Giyon"s residence. And a few minutes after that, Sam managed to come to the gate. He stood there and observed the dead bodies a bit.
He couldn"t estimate the strength of the people that came as the deaths seemed very swift. The range of strength could be from anywhere to anywhere.
He gritted his teeth after some thought and looked at one of the dead bodies before using the spectre to collect the soul.
He absorbed the memories to get a better idea of what happened when the person was dying and he paid all the focus and attention he could muster in that one moment.
But he didn"t get much. Because all the person felt when they died is the terror and the overwhelming strength swallowing them.
All Sam could say is that the attacker is at least a middle-stage Consummate stage cultivator of Astral Plane.
In fact, he might even be at a late stage or even peak stage. Sam has no way of determining.
He looked ahead and thought of where to go. He doesn"t know if he should go and meet Giyon or to Saran"s residence.
As he was contemplating, Giyon suddenly called through the communication token.
"Where are you?"
"I am at the gate. I saw the dead bodies of the guards and an elder. They all died instantly. The cultivation level should only be Middle-stage of the Astral Plane or higher. Not any lesser."
"How many people entered the clan?"
"I don"t know…" Sam was about to say something, but the informants suddenly called in and said.
"Sir Sam. The people that attacked the clan is the same group that we noticed yesterday. The people that slept in the inn directly.
They left a few minutes ago as soon as the explosions happened in the Gaja Clan and they didn"t go through the public s.p.a.ce gates or the gates. They didn"t even use the secret routes of the slums. The clan estate is the only thing we could think of.
I confirmed with all the other informants in other areas."
Sam sighed and called Giyon.
"Twenty-five. That is the number of the group that entered the clan.. But I don"t if they are the only ones."
