The number of people in that incoming party was estimated to be several hundreds of thousands, and they were coming in fast. They also seemed to have come from where the Bloodshed Clan was located.
"This is bad! That’s the Sword King Clan! F* ck! I've sent people to notify the Pavilion Billow Cloud, but why aren't they here yet? What should we do now, that people from the Sword King Clan are here?" Austin's expression faltered. The battle had paused as members of the Nine Armies and from Fane's side surrounded the remaining Bloodshed Clan members.
Fane's expression turned serious, albeit slightly. "First Fortress Master, what can you tell me about the Sword King Clan? Are
they very powerful? How are they compared to the Bloodshed Clan?"
Only then did Austin say to Fane, "Both the Bloodshed Clan and Sword King Clan can only be considered third-rated pavilions. They aren’t those big pavilions."
Fane eased off a little at that. Since the Sword King Clan came to help the Bloodshed Clan, they had to be a member of the Alliance Guard and obviously would not be friendly.
Nonetheless, they were lucky that this clan was not a larger pavilion. They could have a chance in battling them.
Austin then looked at Fane gravely, and it was what he said next that made Fane tense, "The Sword King Clan has many more people in the ultimate god level compared to the Bloodshed Clan. Although they’re only a third-rated small pavilion, they're very much stronger than the Bloodshed Clan. Among their members, there is one who is in the First-grade soulpenetrating level and another in the Second -grade soul-penetrating level.”
“Second-grade?" Fane’s expression darkened when he heard that there were masters in the Second-grade soulpenetrating level. He was confident that he could kill Edward, but he was not too sure of himself when facing masters in the Second-grade soul-penetrating level.
After all, the combat power of a master in the Second-grade soul-penetrating level was that of several in the First-grade ultimate god level.
What Fane and the rest did not know was that a group of 30,000 people, including Lily, had exited the forest, arriving at the forest’s outskirts.
An old man looked visibly startled as he gazed at the corpses of the Bloodshed Clan disciples. "Tsk, tsk! It's true that there were two thousand Bloodshed Clan disciples guarding here, but why were all of them killed?”
Lily took a closer look, and her expression grew tense. “This is bad. Look—there are also bodies of the Cabello family members and the Woods family members here. What does that mean? Those two families have killed these disciples. On top of that, the Bloodshed Clan disciples who are in the Third and Fourth-grade ultimate god level were also killed. It looks like Fane and the rest had joined forces with the Nine Armies."
Feeling lost, an old man from the Skies Pavilion turned to Lily. 'What should we do now, then? Should we still help members of the Bloodshed Clan? Otherwise, we have nowhere to go!”
“All of us came over from that side, and the people from the Nine Armies aren't familiar with Fane's group. Helping them would mean helping members of the Nine Armies, so the Nine Armies won’t hurt us, would they? They should be able to take us in too, right?" a member of the Hall of Divine Royal questioned Lily.
Unexpectedly, Lily laughed bitterly and said, “Yes. Based on what you said, the members of the Nine Armies would take us in and won't hurt us. However, what if the people from the Woods family, Gods and Kings Pavilion, and Pavilion of Divinity take action against us? A lot of them had entered this area, and Fane is a very smart guy. They have more people than we do, and they might have higher fighting prowess!" Lily paused before she continued, "What if they take action against us? I don't think the Nine Armies would meddle in this affair; merely standing neutral. Do you understand?”
"What do you mean by that? We can’t go to the Nine Armies and ask for their help?" The members of the Hall of Divine Royal glanced toward the direction of the Nine Armies. As the place was further away, they could not see what was happening.
Lily nodded. "Let’s go. Members of the Bloodshed Clan came from that direction previously. Let's head this way and quickly leave this place."
