Since the Shaoyan Clan's demand for the Zhuanshui Clan to hand over Ju Hua was refused, both clans have fallen into an eerie calm.
But everyone knew that this battle between the two top tribes was inevitable!
The current calm is merely a final transition before war. The calmer things are now, the more earth-shattering the moment war breaks out will be.
During this period of peace between the two sides, in the Great Xia World, within the territory of the Tiannong Clan, a Celestial Immortal from the Tiannong Clan arrived at a quiet and peaceful field.
In the fields, an old man wearing a straw hat is diligently working the land.
"Ancestor!" The Celestial Immortal being bowed deeply to the seemingly mortal old man.
"."
The old man didn't speak. He carefully finished cultivating the patch of land beneath his feet before raising his head and looking at the Celestial Immortal.
At this moment, the Celestial Immortal being said again, "Ancestor, it seems that the Shaoyan Clan and the Zhuanshui Clan are about to go to war!"
"Fellow Zhuanshui River hates Shaoyan Chou to the bone. This isn't the first time these two tribes have fought. Did you come here just to talk about this?" the old man asked.
"If it were an ordinary war, I would naturally not dare to disturb your secluded cultivation, Ancestor. But the source of this war is not simple!" Celestial Immortal spoke, he recounted everything he knew.
"To have such strength in just eight thousand years is truly remarkable!" A hint of surprise appeared on the old man's face, but he did not say anything.
"Ancestor, if another celestial being were to appear in the Zhuanshui Clan, that would be terrifying!" the Celestial Immortal being warned.
"You're just Celestial Immortal, yet you're concerned with the affairs of the Emperor Xia?" the old man asked, somewhat surprised.
Although it was just a simple sentence, cold sweat immediately broke out on the Celestial Immortal's heart. He could tell that the ancestor was very dissatisfied with him.
"Ancestor, you've misunderstood!" the Celestial Immortal hurriedly tried to explain.
The old man ignored the Celestial Immortal's explanation, interrupting him and asking, "Do you know where you went wrong?"
"."
Those who can become Celestial Immortal are not fools. After being reprimanded by the old man, Tiannong Clan, this Celestial Immortal, vaguely understood. After pondering for a moment, the Celestial Immortal being said with a somewhat unpleasant expression:
"I almost got tricked by the Shaoyan Clan!"
"Looks like you're not completely stupid after all!" the old man said calmly. " Tao Jiu, considering you haven't been Celestial Immortal being for long, I'll make a note of this for you this time. But if there's a next time, I'll send you to the ' Three Flavors Garden ' for ten years of training!"
"Yes!"
The Celestial Immortal nodded quickly.
Seeing the Celestial Immortal being bowing her head in apology, the old man nodded in satisfaction. However, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly sighed:
"However, with such a figure emerging from the Zhuanshui Clan, the Emperor Xia is likely to have a headache!"
"Does the Ancestor mean that the Emperor Xia will intervene?" the Celestial Immortal being from the Tiannong Clan asked with some curiosity.
"If Emperor Xia could intervene, he wouldn't have this headache!" the old man said calmly. " Emperor Xia comes from the royal family, which gives him a great advantage, but it also limits him in some ways!"
The Xia Clan became the royal family of our Human Race, a result of the common respect of all races. To maintain their status, strength alone is not enough; the Xia Clan must also demonstrate the responsibility and commitment befitting royalty!
To maintain his rule, Emperor Xia could suppress other clans in the Great Xia World, but if he were to kill a genius who had a high chance of becoming a god in order to maintain his rule, it would be fine if no one knew, but once it was exposed, the Ancient Imperial Clan would not let him off without anyone else having to do anything!
Moreover, the Zhuanshui Clan is backed by the Zhuanxu Clan Zhuanxu Clan, which is also extremely powerful and not to be underestimated!
"I see!" The Celestial Immortal nodded.
Indeed, the Shaoyan Clan and the Zhuanshui Clan have a blood feud, so they can deal with Zhuanshui Juhua without any scruples, and no one can say anything about it.
But the Emperor Xia's status was different after all!
"That's enough for today. Shaoyan Clan and the Zhuanshui Clan want to fight, then let them fight. We'll just observe and see what happens!" The old man waved his hand, indicating that the Celestial Immortal could leave.
"This disciple takes his leave!"
After bowing once more, the Celestial Immortal left directly.
Around the same time, similar events occurred within several other top-tier tribes. However, most tribes ultimately chose the same path as Tiannong Clan, with only a very few tribes, driven by certain reasons, preparing to intervene.
For several days, undercurrents were surging throughout the Great Xia World. Various intelligence and information circulated among the large and small clans. It had become a consensus that the Zhuanshui Clan and the Shaoyan Clan would inevitably fight. The only uncertainty now was when they would actually make their move!
Ten days passed amidst the undercurrents.
Within the territory of the Shaoyan Clan in the Chenyu Mountain Range.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
Three celestial beings, each wearing a Celestial Immortal robe with a single horn and looking exactly alike, appeared here. They were naturally also clones of Shaoyan Chou.
Soon, the Chixin Celestial flew up and bowed, saying, "Ancestor!"
"No need for formalities!" said one of Shaoyan Chou's clones.
"This time, I will have four clones openly making a move, and two more clones secretly guarding against the Zhuanshui Clan's trump card! If the Zhuanshui Celestial God shows himself, my four clones will hold him back for a moment, but only for a moment, do you understand?"
"Clear!"
The Chixin Celestial being nodded. He understood that although his ancestor's reputation was not much less than that of some celestial gods and True Immortal, he was still just a Celestial Immortal. For a Celestial Immortal to be able to temporarily restrain a celestial god was already quite remarkable!
"How are things going with what I asked you to do before?" Shaoyan Chou asked again.
"Only two clans are willing to help us, but they only said they would send someone to ambush Zhuanshui Juhua at a crucial moment, but they are unwilling to confront the Zhuanshui Clan head-on!" said the Chixin Celestial.
"What a pity!"
Shaoyan Chou frowned slightly, but he quickly relaxed. None of these large clans were truly stupid to have survived until now. Even the two clans that agreed to help probably weren't persuaded by them, but had other reasons!
"Are the Baiji Clan and the Tiannong Clan among these two clans?" Shaoyan Chou asked again.
"No!"
The Chixin Celestial shook his head. He also hoped that these two clans would exist, because both of them had True Immortal Ancestors, whether it was the Heavenly Farmer True Immortal or the Baiji True Immortal. If either of them agreed to help, things would be much simpler. Unfortunately, they didn't exist!
"Fine, if those clans are unwilling to help, then we'll kill that Zhuanshui Juhua ourselves!" Shaoyan Chou sneered.
