Several thousand war chariots like a cloud of locusts hovered in the sky. They were platinum with sharps tip like a drilling machine. All of them looked like big boats carrying tens to hundreds of warriors.
This kind of platinum war chariot was much smaller than battleships, but they were significantly faster and stronger as they could pierce even through spaces.
A part of the warriors on those war chariots was from the Phantom Clan and the others were from the forces and clans that depended on the Phantom Clan. All of them had high realms and this force comprised seventy or eighty thousand of them.
The lowest realm warriors were at King God Realm. Original God Realm, Ethereal God Realm, and Incipient God Realm were everywhere. There was a large number of Immortal Realm warriors too.
They were the real force of the Phantom Clan!
On a war chariot, many elders of the Phantom Clan gathered by Mei Ji. Wearing a stern face, they looked at Shi Yan.
They were the experts at Immortal Realm and two of them were at Peak of Immortal Realm. They had mastered principle of soul energy; thus, they were close to the Territory Ancestor Realm's threshold.
Previously, they were in charge of the Phantom Clan's territories. Because of the terrifying incident in the clan, Mei Ji had summoned them.
"Are you sure Grannie is okay?" Ling Lu looked skeptical. "If you got accurate information, Cantecie and Fan De Lei must have disclosed her whereabouts. Serene Prison wouldn't have given her a chance!"
In this group, Ling Lu was one of Mei Ji's seniors. Time didn't leave a mark on her face as she looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties. Her figure was extremely hot with curves. In the Phantom Clan, she was famous for her lewd behaviors as a cougar.
"She will be alright. Shi Yan said that Han Tian, Judy, and Hiro have come there. I'm sure that they can save her," explained Mei Ji.
At this moment, she had recovered her power and her charming appearance. Since Cantecie and Fan De Lei had run away, Mei Ji couldn't dodge her responsibility. She was now the supreme leader of the Phantom Clan, in charge of planning for combat.
However, her fellows didn't trust her wholeheartedly. Ling Lu was one of that skeptical group.
"You've trusted him that much?" Actually, Ling Lu didn't have a grudge against Mei Ji. She just worried about the clan. She didn't pretend to be polite and just snorted even though Shi Yan was right there. "If it hadn't been because of him, Cantecie and Fan De Lei wouldn't have betrayed our clan and our Grannie wouldn't have been a deadly situation. And now, she's in danger but we aren't going there to save her ourselves. You want to keep us here for what?"
As Ling Lu and her warriors had hurried to come back to the clan when their ancestral land was in chaos, they vaguely guessed that Montecie was in a dangerous situation.
She hoped that she could go and rescue Montecie, resisting the four clans with her. However, Mei Ji stopped them and asked them to prepare for the deployment; she didn't allow them to leave immediately. She asked them to wait here.
Ling Lu had been waiting here for a long time and Mei Ji continued to ask them to wait. Eventually, she lost her patience so her voice to Shi Yan was sharp.
Mei Ji was begrudging; she had to ask Shi Yan, "How is it?"
Shi Yan stood in a corner of the war chariot. Space energy rippled from his body visibly as he lifted his head to look at the void where sharp space sabers moving around and bumping into each other. They were trying to open a space passage.
"The Soul Clan is vigilant now. They've improved on their sealing space formation. I can't create a passage from a far distance like this." Shi Yan's face darkened and he and turned to Ling Lu's group. "We're not going to where Montecie and the others are fighting. We will unite with the White Bone Clan and intrude the Soul Clan's headquarters."
"What right do you have to make solutions for our clan?" snorted Ling Lu.
Shi Yan frowned and felt agitated because of this restless woman. He waved his hand and said, "You know how far we are from the Volcano Cloud Sea. If you want to ride the war chariot there, you will have to spend six months. And what can you do when you get there after six months? If you're worried, you can leave with your people. I don't give a damn about it."
"Didn't you say that you could get through spaces to reach the Soul Clan? Why won't you take us to Volcano Cloud Sea?" Ling Lu sounded impatient.
"Don't make so much noise!" Aunt Fang who was in charge of medicine storage came to ease the others when she saw Shi Yan change his visage. "Shi Yan helped us save this place. He means no harm to our clan. Ling Lu, you calm down. Don't rush. Just wait here."
She had witnessed Shi Yan's terrifying competence. Let alone the Phantom Clan had only Mei Ji here, even if Cantecie and Fan De Lei were here, who could resist Shi Yan when he turned frantic?
Ling Lu? She was too weak compared to him…
"Warriors of Cloud Mist Territory were sent to the Soul Clan. We will wait here. Once they break the space sealing power there, I can make the passage to take you guys and the White Bone Clan warriors to the Soul Clan." Shi Yan squinted and coldly glared at Ling Lu. "You should behave. Han Tian and Judy have spent a lot of efforts but they couldn't get into the headquarters of the four clans. I'm doing good things for your Phantom Clan. You're really stupid to not appreciate my work."
"Who did you say is stupid?" Ling Lu turned purple in rage. The gravity around suddenly rocketed because of her anger and suffocated people.
She was one of the warriors who came here last so she didn't know the previous commotion. She didn't know how strong Shi Yan was…
There were a lot of people who had kept their suspicious eyes on Shi Yan like her. They thought that Shi Yan had deceived Mei Ji to seize the power of the Phantom Clan. They thought he would harm their clan eventually.
"You're so annoying! Shut up!" Shi Yan looked impatient. He raised one hand toward Ling Lu's direction. The sealing spirit expanded and covered Ling Lu, her subordinates, and all of her battleships and war chariots. Ling Lu's group screamed ear-piercingly as they tried to counterattack.
However, their area suddenly became an independent space like a massive bubble that covered them all.
No matter how hard they tried and no matter how intensely Ling Lu increased gravity, the massive bubble stayed still.
The members of the Phantom Clan who had come late were like Ling Lu as they were discontent when Shi Yan made the decisions as if he was the master here. They wanted to show Shi Yan how powerful they were.
However, when they saw Ling Lu, the strongest expert in their team, confined powerlessly, they were shaken. Eventually, they had to quiet down.
Aunt Fang looked at them and mumbled, "I told you. I told you not to provoke him. You didn't listen to me. Now, you will."
The warriors standing near her looked embarrassed.
"The Soul Clan, Ancient Monster Clan, and Black Demon Clan are the strongest clans in this sea of stars. They have accumulated a lot of assets throughout so many years from many territories they've conquered. They have occupied half of the treasures in this world. At this moment, Serene Prison, Rupert, and Beverly have brought the elite force of their clan away. Their ancestral lands are almost defenseless. Once they are under attack, the earth and heaven treasures they have will belong to someone else…"
Listening to Shi Yan, everyone in the Phantom Clan including Aunt Fang and Ling Lu in confinement brightened. They looked thrilled, though.
They had never thought that this villain wanted to seize the chance to make the Phantom Clan rich. They could slaughter and rob cultivating materials, treasures, and pellets that the four clans had laboriously accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years.
Those resources were the key elements to guaranteeing a clan's prosperity. A small clan would become powerful with them. If a clan like the Heavenly Eye Clan hadthe materials from one of the four clans, after tens of thousands of years, they would become one of the strongest clans in this sea of stars!
Let alone the Phantom Clan, a powerful clan!
The Phantom Clan fellows had magical light in their eyes and they showed their crazy, greedy faces.
Shi Yan snorted, his face cold. "And now, you are excited. The wealth of the four clans isn't something that your Phantom Clan can swallow alone. I have an agreement with the Mysterious Sky Clan and the White Bone Clan on how to distribute those assets and the territories later. You guys can have part of it. Of course, if you join the operation directly, you will be able to choose first."
The members of the Phantom Clan had their eyes go bright. Ling Lu didn't say more as she was busy making a plan in her head to get the greatest benefits.
"When can we get in there?" Aunt Fang looked eager.
"Just wait. I think it'll be done soon. I believe that they can break the sealing formation soon," said Shi Yan confidently.
Everybody became patient and waited around Shi Yan and Mei Ji.
After a while, the void in front of Shi Yan emitted strange, dazzling light. Bands of bright light began to merge with each other fiercely.
Shi Yan's eyes brightened as he screamed, "It worked!"
Layers of space energy rippled and congregated at the pool of dazzling lightsabers. It seemed like there was a pair of hands that twisted and squeezed those light sabers to create a spacious passage.
A space passage that led to the Soul Clan was formed. Space energy gathered and formed the passage. As the members of the Phantom Clan were observing eagerly, Shi Yan grinned and nodded to them. "Done."
Then, he flew to the passage and disappeared after a flash.
All members of the Phantom Clan and the forces dependent on the Phantom Clan jumped in joy. They massively swarmed toward that space passage.
Right after that, Shi Yan crossed the space and appeared in the White Bone Clan's territory. He said to the little skeleton's mother who was called Aimar, "Our time comes, how have you prepped?"
Aimar didn't follow Dracula to the Volcano Cloud Sea. Seeing Shi Yan, she was glad. "All done."
"Good then. I'm here to open the space passage. We will enter the Soul Clan together. From the Soul Clan, we will damage the four clans from the inside," Shi Yan said with a smile.
The members of the White Bone Clan cheered in their ancient language as they were riding the skull islands. They were all excited, yelling and screaming.
In their loud cheering, another space passage was created by Shi Yan's space energy.
