Chapter 2379: Relocation!
Just arrived at the Heart Communication Hall.
They saw a team of guards dressed in heavy armor flying towards them.
Leading them was a black-faced elder.
Seeing this black-faced elder, Zhou Yu’s pupils slightly contracted.
He couldn’t judge the aura of this black-faced elder at all, only vaguely perceiving that the elder’s strength was exceedingly terrifying.
As soon as the black-faced elder saw everyone, he immediately showed a smile.
"Good, good."
𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"You’ve finally returned from the Ancient Realm."
"Elder Fei is waiting for you."
"Come with me."
At this moment, Yue Linglong and others upon seeing the black-faced elder showed a respectful demeanor.
"Senior Bin!"
Immediately, Yue Linglong stepped forward and asked:
"Senior Bin, is Elder Fei really here?"
The elder surnamed Bin smiled and replied:
"Naturally."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Elder Fei was a Mahayana Realm expert among the Alliance Clan.
He was like a stabilizing force for the Alliance Clan.
As long as he was present, everyone felt inexplicably reassured.
Then, under Senior Bin’s guidance, they entered the Heart Communication Hall.
The so-called Heart Communication Hall doesn’t refer to a single palace.
But to a vast complex of palaces within an endless mountain range.
A powerful formation was set up around this mountain range even stronger than the City Defense Array of Black Cloud City.
It could be considered a fortress within a fortress.
Additionally, there were numerous High Rank Battle Puppets within this mountain range.
As Zhou Yu just entered the range of the Heart Communication Hall.
He saw in the distance several humanoid war puppets towering a thousand feet tall.
From head to toe, they emitted a black-golden glow, and the long swords they held radiated a murderous aura.
Such terrifying war puppets, Zhou Yu had never seen before.
The sight left Zhou Yu with continuous shock in his heart.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yu sensed a powerful void distortion surrounding the entire Heart Communication Hall.
He had a feeling.
The entire Heart Communication Hall seemed to be enveloped by a massive Void Barrier.
Of course, this was just a feeling.
He certainly couldn’t discern the specifics.
At this time, above the entire Heart Communication Hall, various teams were coming in and going out.
The whole hall was exceptionally busy.
Zhou Yu noticed that these teams moving in and out were of highly diverse races, evidently forming a coalition from different races.
Zhou Yu estimated that these people were likely core members of the Black Cloud Twenty-eight Clan.
Led by Senior Bin, everyone quickly arrived at a central grand hall.
The spacious hall held only a few people.
And at the central position above the hall, sat a middle-aged man.
Seeing this person, everyone showed a look of reverence.
"Elder Fei!"
Everyone respectfully saluted.
This person was indeed Elder Fei, a Mahayana Realm expert of the Alliance Clan.
Elder Fei slowly opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, then smiled and said:
"Excellent."
"It seems your journey to the Ancient Realm has yielded significant results, with seven people advancing to Integration Realm."
Elder Fei immediately discerned the changes in them.
However, at this moment, Zhou Yu among the crowd felt somewhat unnatural.
He sensed that Elder Fei’s gaze had lingered on him for a moment.
Note that Elder Fei had only swept a glance at the seven cultivators who advanced to Integration Realm, yet he specifically took a look at Zhou Yu.
This inexplicably made Zhou Yu a bit anxious.
Nevertheless, Elder Fei did not target Zhou Yu with any additional actions.
Instead, he addressed everyone:
"Everyone, as you may have seen."
"Black Cloud City has been infiltrated by people from the Divine Horn Clan, causing significant havoc within the city."
"While you were in the Ancient Realm, traitors from the Divine Horn Clan hidden within Black Cloud City used some means to sabotage the City Defense Array, resulting in this situation."
"At present, Black Cloud City likely can no longer be saved."
"You are the future of the Alliance Clan, nurtured with significant resources."
"Therefore, the Alliance Clan will do whatever it takes to ensure your safety."
"Today, you are being summoned here to facilitate your evacuation."
"All of you will soon be transferred to Upper Mansion City."
Upon hearing Elder Fei’s words, everyone’s expressions turned exceedingly grim.
Black Cloud City had always been their Holy Land.
It was considered an indomitable fortress.
Unexpectedly, upon returning from a journey to the Ancient Realm, everything had changed.
Yue Linglong felt somewhat unwilling.
"Senior, cannot even your strength preserve Black Cloud City?"
Elder Fei replied softly:
"I have already faced the Mahayana Realm experts of the Divine Horn Clan."
"This time, to intimidate me, they even brought two Mahayana Realm experts."
"And clearly informed me that if I make a move, they will too."
"The consequences would then be unimaginable."
"Even if I can kill most of them, you, including everyone in Black Cloud City, will perish."
Upon hearing Elder Fei’s words, everyone held their breath and fell silent.
Even Yue Linglong found herself at a loss for words.
Elder Fei continued:
"Victory and loss are the norm in this world."
"Though our Alliance Clan may have been defeated this time, it doesn’t mean we cannot rise again."
"Therefore, do not dwell on it."
Upon hearing Elder Fei’s words, Yue Linglong and others finally let go of their unwillingness and bowed:
"Yes, we will obey Elder Fei’s command."
Elder Fei waved his hand.
"Alright, all of you go and prepare for the evacuation."
Senior Bin immediately led everyone away.
Just then, Elder Fei suddenly looked at Zhou Yu.
"Mr. Zhou, please stay."
Upon hearing Elder Fei call Zhou Yu’s name separately.
Everyone around turned in surprise to look at Zhou Yu.
And Zhou Yu, though outwardly calm, was inwardly anxious.
However, he had no choice but to stay respectfully.
Soon, everyone had left.
Only Zhou Yu and Elder Fei remained in the grand hall.
Elder Fei smiled and said:
"Mr. Zhou, you are from the Human Race in the Southern Territory of the Heavenly Essence Realm, aren’t you?"
Zhou Yu immediately bowed in response:
"Senior is correct, I indeed hail from the Human Race."
"Senior seems well-versed in the Human Race?"
Zhou Yu tentatively asked.
Elder Fei smiled and nodded.
"More than well-versed."
"I have interacted with your race’s Five Great Venerables."
"Although your Human Race ranks at the bottom of the Heavenly Origin World, there have been numerous top-tier experts in your history, some of whom I can only look up to."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was utterly shocked.
Could there be such glorious great powers among the feeble Human Race?
Though Zhou Yu found it hard to believe, Elder Fei was a Mahayana Realm expert, so he assumed he wouldn’t be deceived.
At this moment, Elder Fei said:
"I’ve asked you to stay because there’s something I need your help with!"
