Chapter 1087: Chapter 1085: Hidden World Clans

”Why?”

Situ Yuntian’s expression stiffened.

”Just now, I received news that your father, your grandfather, and your brother have all died. Along with them, an Elder from the Situ Clan who was in the Celestial Beings Realm has also been killed.”

The Seventh Elder said with a grave voice.

”What? How could this have happened? Who killed them?”

Upon hearing this news, Situ Yuntian first froze, then roared loudly, his eyes glaring as if they were about to split with rage.

”It was a youngster named Xiao Yifeng. He had previously crippled your father’s hands, and in response, your grandfather approached our Situ Clan and asked an Elder to seek revenge on your behalf. No one anticipated that this would be the outcome.”

The Seventh Elder said flatly.

”The Clan Leader was originally planning to send people to capture Xiao Yifeng, but then Dragon Soul released a message, forbidding any expert above the Celestial Beings Realm in the Martial Arts World from randomly entering the Secular World. Anyone who does so would surely be encircled and killed by Dragon Soul; therefore, the Clan Leader has temporarily suspended action.”

The Seventh Elder spoke indifferently.

Meanwhile, Situ Yuntian’s face became extremely unsightly, his hands clenched tightly into fists, his features twisted with fury, and his eyes flickered with icy coldness.

”Xiao Yifeng, the vengeance of annihilating a clan cannot be shared under the same sky; I will certainly avenge the Situ Family.”

Situ Yuntian shouted fiercely, his expression terrifying, with a frightening murderous intent flashing in his eyes and a terrifying aura of vengeance emanating from him, his fists crackling.

”Seventh Elder, I wish to enter the Trial Grounds!”

Situ Yuntian said directly to the Seventh Elder.

”What? You want to enter the Trial Grounds? Are you sure? This place is akin to Hell; even a strong one who has Entered Sanctity might perish there at any time.”

”With your current strength, having just broken through to the Entering Saint Realm, there is an almost certain chance that you would die inside and not come out. Have you thought this through?”

The Seventh Elder spoke seriously, his gaze flickering as he looked at Situ Yuntian.

”I know, but only there can I enhance my strength in the shortest time possible. I must enhance my strength to avenge my deceased relatives, and I believe I will be able to walk out from there. Please, Seventh Elder, grant me this.”

Situ Yuntian knelt down halfway, bowing as he spoke.

”Originally, only the direct bloodline members of the Situ Clan were allowed to enter that place, but I think highly of you, and besides, your grandfather and the others have also sacrificed much for the Situ Clan.”

”I’ll grant you a special favor and allow you to enter the Trial Grounds. However, whether you can come out or not is up to you; no one will help you.”

The Seventh Elder stated with a solemn expression.

”Understood!”

Situ Yuntian’s eyes flashed with determination as he responded.

”I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

The Seventh Elder said flatly.

In Yanjing, at the Dragon Soul Headquarters.

Yan Haotian’s office, and there appeared the figure of Xiao Yifeng.

”Lately, you’ve been quite prominent, first the Xiao Family and now the Situ Family. Now, you are a universally known name, an existence recognized by everyone.”

Yan Haotian looked at Xiao Yifeng and spoke indifferently.

”Dragon Head, you flatter me. I have only done what I had to do.”

Xiao Yifeng responded lightly.

”But this time, in the Situ Family, did you kill a strong one from the Celestial Beings Realm?”

Yan Haotian asked.

”Yes, but it seems he’s not from the Situ Family, and he mentioned the Situ Clan? I don’t know what that’s about.”

Xiao Yifeng voiced his confusion.

”Indeed, he is from the Situ Clan, or to be more precise, Situ Lie, Situ Cheng, and the others are all members of the Situ Clan. Now that you’ve killed someone from the Situ Clan, I’m afraid they won’t let you off so easily.”

Yan Haotian spoke with a grave tone.

”The Situ Clan? What kind of power is that?”

A hint of puzzlement flickered through Xiao Yifeng’s eyes.

”You should have some understanding of the Martial Arts World.”

Yan Haotian’s gaze rested on Xiao Yifeng.

”Um, I know a little.”

Xiao Yifeng nodded.

”The martial heritage of China is ancient and profound, with numerous Martial Arts Families and Sects. Through the passage of time and the baptism of the years, coupled with the changes brought about by a modernized scientific society, today’s Martial Arts World has formed. This world is divided into first-tier and second-tier powers based on strength, but apart from these Martial Arts World powers, there also exists the Hidden World Clans.”

Yan Haotian started explaining.

”Hidden World Clans? What kind of power is that?”

Shock flashed in Xiao Yifeng’s eyes; this was his first time hearing about the Hidden World Clans.

”The Hidden World Clans are familial powers with legacies spanning thousands of years. They’ve always stayed hidden, seldom appearing in the world, hence the name Hidden World Clans. However, their strength far exceeds that of the first-tier forces of the Martial Arts World. It’s just that they rarely intervene, but their formidable power is beyond any doubt.”

Yan Haotian clarified further.

”Are you saying the Situ Clan is one of the Hidden World Clans!”

Xiao Yifeng looked at Yan Haotian intently.

”That’s right, the Situ Clan is a Hidden World Clan. Within the Hidden World Clans, the strongest are the Xuanyuan Clan, Eastern Clan, Nangong Clan, Beiming Clan, and Dragon (Long) Clan. The other Hidden World Clans may be weaker than the Five Great Clans, but they are still incredibly powerful.”

”This time you have offended the Situ Clan, you must be careful. However, Dragon Soul has issued a warning, forbidding the Celestial Bings Realm’s Strong Ones from randomly intervening in the Secular World, so you need not worry about them sending a Celestial Bings Realm Strong One to deal with you.”

Yan Haotian stated.

”These Hidden World Clans are so formidable; will they listen to Dragon Soul?”

Xiao Yifeng asked curiously.

Yan Haotian gave a light smile and said, ”It seems you don’t understand the strength of Dragon Soul. As long as there are a few Dragon Leaders and the owner present, these Hidden World Clans would not dare to disregard Dragon Soul, otherwise, the Ximen Clan’s fate would be theirs.”

”The Ximen Clan?”

Xiao Yifeng’s expression froze, and he said sharply, ”That’s right, previously there was someone named Ximen Jianchen who appeared, intent on killing me for revenge. He left after killing one of my brothers because I wasn’t there; he said he’d wait for me at the Martial Path Conference.”

”Ximen Jianchen? Could it be the Young Master of the Ximen Family that went missing years ago?”

A sharp light glinted in Yan Haotian’s eyes.

”What’s the situation? I don’t recall offending him.”

A puzzled look crossed Xiao Yifeng’s face.

”Actually, more than a decade ago, the most robust within the Hidden World Clans wasn’t the five clans but six, including the Ximen Clan. However, back then, the Ximen Clan defied Dragon Soul’s orders and allowed their juniors to enter the Secular World, causing great harm.”

”In the end, the owner was enraged, and in one night, the Ximen Clan was annihilated, which thoroughly intimidated the other Hidden World Clans and caused them to develop a profound fear of Dragon Soul.”

”The Young Master of the Ximen Clan disappeared without a trace, escaping the catastrophe. This Ximen Jianchen should be the remnant Young Master of the Ximen Clan.”

Yan Haotian said with a somber voice.
