One of the old men finally looked at Lily, evidently at a loss of what to do.
Lily deliberated their options and suggested, "I see that we have quite a number of people here, and many of them are in the First-grade ultimate god level. If we want to stay alive, why don't we rush down now as well? I think that by the time we arrive there, their family masters or members of the ancient clans would've rushed out as well. The Bloodshed Clan disciples would chase after Fane and the rest once they escape, which will give us the chance to escape the forest."
"Where will we go after that? We don't know anything about this area!" lamented the baffled old man. "Apart from that, some of our people heard the Bloodshed Clan
disciples mention something known as the Alliance Guard. It seems like members of this Alliance Guard are appointed to kill us, the foreigners to this land!"
"It is true that there aren't many places that we can go. We have no idea how this alliance is and how many people they have." Lily remained silent for some time before her eyes finally lit up. "Here's an idea. Since the Bloodshed Clan has attacked the Nine Armies, I heard some of the Bloodshed Clan disciples say that both parties have the same overall strength.
Why don't we help out the Nine Armies? They'll be indebted to us if we do that. There aren't many of us here, so perhaps they'll take us under their wing?"
The eyes of an old man from the Hall of Divine Royal lit up when he heard this. " This sounds like a good plan. After all, there are thirty thousand of us here, and we're a formidable force in our own right if we rush in together. The Nine Armies might win if we help them right now, and they'll let us stay with them if they win!"
Another old man chimed in, "That's right! More importantly, the Nine Armies isn’t that far from this forest. There’s hope of breaking through into the soul-penetrating level if we're able to search for treasures in this forest. Since they're attacking the Nine Armies, it means that they're opposing forces. The Nine Armies might truly take us in!"
"Let's go down, then." Lily glanced at her clansmen, hearing as everyone agreed to the same thing. In the end, the group flew down the mountain and swiftly traveled out of the forest, their tracks shielded by their surroundings.
Not long after they started flying. Fane and the others had killed the Bloodshed Clan disciples who stood guard outside the forest. They managed to kill more than 2,000 of those disciples without suffering a huge loss, and only a few hundred of their people had perished.
Of course, the people who did the most work were Fane, Nash, and the others.
"You're incredibly strong, Young Master Fane. Those Bloodshed Clan disciples in the Second-stage ultimate god level are nothing compared to you. You killed them like you were cutting vegetables!" Several second-class aristocratic family masters flocked around Fane, flattering him upon knowing what he was capable of.
They knew very well that not only did Fane have a high fighting prowess and combat power, but he was also a third-grade intermediate alchemist.
Several second-class aristocratic family masters had already broken through to the First-grade ultimate god level. If they could improve their relationship with Fane and obtain a third-grade elementary pill, they could scale up two to three grades at one go.
They were no fools—they wanted to get into Fane's good books instantly.
How could Fane not understand their intentions just by looking at their grinning faces?
He only smiled indifferently and pointed forward. "Right now, many of our men have died over there. After we slowly fly over, we'll wait and do nothing. We’ll only act if the Nine Armies are losing and they beg us for our help.”
