All the elders of Alliance Guard decided to join the battle against the Nine Gods Clan for the Clan association had already become a pain in the *ss to them. Never in history had a Clan association progressed as fast as the Nine Gods Clan had.
Fane Woods had been working tirelessly without rest ever since he broke through and successfully leveled up to a fourthgrade elementary alchemist. He continuously created pills which he consumed to increase his cultivation level.
In the short span of seven days, he had advanced to the ninth-grade soulpenetrating level from the seventh-grade soul-penetrating level. The ninth-grade soul-penetrating level was this world's glass ceiling in power rankings and most
of the great Clan association's masters held the same status.
After reaching the ninth-grade soulpenetrating level, Fane Woods subconsciously clenched his fist and felt an overbearing power flowing from the tips of his fingers. The current Fane Woods was confident to go head-to-head against a second or third-grade nirvana level fighter. It was a shame that no fighter held the nirvana status which meant he was the strongest in the world of Cathysia.
He looked forward to the battle against the Alliance Guard and just when he was daydreaming about it, a panic-stricken Kevin Cabello rushed in with big steps. Once he saw Fane Woods, his eyes lit up as if he had found his savior. "We have received reports that a large group of fighters had gathered outside of Nine Gods Clan. They did not even bother to control their aura which judging by the feel of it, they plan to wipe all of us out!"
Kevin Cabello's expression blanched even more after delivering the news but he was shocked when he saw the playful smile creeping up on Fane Wood's face. 'How could he still smile at times like this?
Shouldn’t the master be worried about the impending ambush?' he wondered to himself.
"There’s no cause for worry. It's not the first time they have done this kind of thing.
They'll surely go back with their tails between their legs again. Just like the last time,” said Fane Woods serenely. Each word of his dripped with confidence.
Kevin Cabello took a deep breath but was still not comforted by his master's words. "I understand that there's a lot of things that can be solved with the master's current power but this is not one of them for the disciple who came back with the news recognized some of the attackers." "And who may they be?" asked Fane Woods with a raised eyebrow.
Kevin Cabello took another deep breath as if fearing what he was going to say next would be enough to send Fane Woods into shock. "The disciple spotted the leaders of the Alliance Guard—Master Loader, Master Mackenzie, and even Master Hackford! All of them had left their base camp for ours!"
He collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon as if it had taken his all to report the dire news. The combined combat power of the enemies, not to mention the few ninth-grade soul-penetrating level fighters, could raze any armies to the ground. Though he was confident at Fane Wood's ability, he still felt despair at the impending massacre by the Alliance Guard.
He thought that Fane Woods would realize the direness of the situation when he explained everything to him but he was surprised when he saw the playful smile still lingering on Fane Woods' face. It was as if he had never said anything at all.
