"Group Leader Two, please take a seat!" A voice came from the Golden Light where the Great Chief Wu Jie was located, sounding like successive thunderbolts, as if each word he uttered was an explosion of thunder, yet his speech was exceptionally clear to the point of piercing straight into the depths of one's soul, leaving no worry about not being able to hear what he was saying.
Great Chief Wu Jie spoke with a steady voice, not a hint of anger detectable. "I've called you here because there is a serious matter to discuss. A huge calamity has recently befallen the Great Tang Ruins."
A calamity? What calamity?
Wu Yan was shocked.
"Looks like it's going to rain!"
The voice of Zun Yi entered their ears, suddenly uttering a seemingly nonsensical remark.
Wu Yan turned his head to look at Zun Yi, who appeared to pay him no mind, instead looking up at the sky with a casual demeanor.
The sky was pitch black, with heavy clouds looming, indeed looking like rain was imminent.
"Don't worry, it won't come down!"
Concealed within the Golden Light, Great Chief Wu Jie suddenly glanced at Zun Yi and responded to his words with a calm tone.
Boom! Boom!
The ordinarily mundane voice of Great Chief Wu Jie suddenly transformed into thunder, turning into tangible Golden thunderbolts that shot up into the sky.
Boom! Boom!
The Golden thunderbolts erupted with unparalleled power, turning into streaks of thunderbolt that sliced through the clouds. The oppressive clouds were torn apart, becoming fragments that scattered with a gust of wind, soon revealing a clear and sunny sky.
The sly old fox!
Wu Yan couldn't help but glance at Zun Yi again, cursing inwardly.
This sly old fox was definitely doing this deliberately, aiming to test out the capacities of Great Chief Wu Jie's Position.
It seems the legends are true, Great Chief Wu Jie has obtained the Thunder God Position.
"The Thunder God Position is also considered a True God Position at the Divine Spirit Level, with powerful offensive capabilities. Congratulations Chief Wu Jie!" Zun Yi let out a chuckle and offered his congratulations to Wu Jie.
"My Thunder God Position is not yet complete, it is merely a fragment," replied Great Chief Wu Jie, humbly. He wasn't angered by Zun Yi's probing.
This old fox, always so scheming. If he wanted to know the level of the Great Chief's Position, why didn't he just ask directly instead of resorting to such roundabout probing?
Wu Yan viewed Zun Yi with contempt.
Whether it was Zun Yi or Cui Yan or Qin Duan, none in the Great Tang Ruins was a simple character. They were all despicable, each harboring their own stratagems—bah!
It's said that this old fellow Zun Yi appeared even before the Great Chief and yet his strength remains so weak, never having obtained a Divine Spirit Position. Perhaps it's all because he's too engrossed in his own machinations.
Wu Yan cursed inwardly, his eyes fixed on Zun Yi's direction.
Just then, Zun Yi suddenly turned his head and glanced at Wu Yan, his face donning a smile.
Do you think I'll stop berating you just because you're smiling at me? Scoundrel! Old scoundrel!
Wu Yan cursed inside, but returned the smile. Zun Yi was of the Neutral Faction, not worth provoking—forget it.
Great Chief Wu Jie's voice once again filled the air, "Here's some information, take a look first."
Sitting atop the Small Hill, he waved his hand gently, and papers flew out from beneath him, landing in front of everyone.
Wu Yan picked up the papers and began to read, and within a few moments, his eyes widened in shock.
What?
How could this be?
The Five Elements Sect had attacked the Tianmen Domain, not only killing all its Mutated Beings but nearly wiping out all the common folk as well.
Wu Yan was filled with rage. How dare the Five Elements Sect?
Extraterrestrial Evil Beings rarely targeted ordinary people as killing them served no purpose; slaying a thousand commoners was not as significant as killing a single Mutant Being.
Wu Yan simply couldn't fathom why the Five Elements Sect would suddenly lash out against ordinary people.
"Great Chief, has the Five Elements Sect gone mad? Attacking the Tianmen Domain is one thing, but why kill the common people as well?" Cui Yan's voice suddenly rose up, asking the question that Wu Yan wanted to ask.
The thunder-like voice of Great Chief Wu Jie came, "The Five Elements True Sovereign is making a show of power."
"Making a show of power?"
"What does that mean?"
"Who are they showing power against? Is it us?"
"Does the Five Elements Sect intend to wage an all-out war against us in the Great Tang Ruins?"
The murmurs of the crowd rose, clamorous and chaotic, with people either angry or panicking.
Not many were prepared for a full-scale war.
The past battles between the Ruins and the Extraterrestrial Evil Beings were always small skirmishes, but an all-out war would surely result in numerous deaths among the Mutated Beings.
Even the powerful beings present might not be safe, as the major Five Elements Sect still had strong participants who hadn't yet entered, some of whom were stronger than even the Five Elements True Sovereign.
Great Chief Wu Jie continued, "This is a threat. The true aim of the Five Elements True Sovereign is simply to demand a person from us."
"To annihilate the Tianmen Domain is to tell us that if we don't hand over this person, he will start killing off the common people within the Ruins mercilessly, leaving no one behind."
"Demand a person? Who?"
Wu Yan instinctively thought of himself.
Many pondered the same, feeling uneasy. Over the years, each of them had killed no small number of Five Elements Sect's strong members and were marked by the sect.
No matter who the Five Elements True Sovereign demanded from among them, no one would be surprised.
"Wu Yan, Xiao Mu is in your group, isn't he?" Great Chief Wu Jie suddenly turned to Wu Yan, asking a strangely out-of-place question.
The place stirred once more, with many unaware of Xiao Mu, hearing the name for the first time.
"Yes, Great Chief. Is Xiao Mu the one the Five Elements True Sovereign is demanding?" connected Wu Yan, his expression changing as he swiftly surmised the reason the Five Elements True Sovereign wanted Xiao Mu.
