so she will get some payback just not yet since his craving for softness is something that she has so she can wait.
At this moment bane felt a cold shiver run down his spine as he thought to himself.
He could only think of one knight that loved playing tricks and he may be the target of it again.
"damnit what is Lunar planning now!?"
-----
The night at the burning heaven clan, the people there were restless.
A middle-aged man is sitting on a chair that seemed like a throne as his qi oozed out, intentionally letting those nearby understand how angry he is at the current situation.
The name of this man is Fen Duanhun, the recently appointed clan master.
He was the one with the highest cultivation in the audience room at the 5th level sky profound realm, impatiently tapping away on the armrest with his finger, all while waiting for the full report of the extent of the damage.
This was supposed to be a good day, as it was the anniversary of the founding of their clan!
But given what had happened within three days, it was anything BUT a good day.
One of the weakest elders was at the center, bringing all eyes upon him as fear for his life filled his mind.
He was barely a sky profound realm practitioner, and on top of that, the weakest he was assigned to protecting the clan while the others cultivated.
But it was not that they were putting him down or anything, This was like an initiation test they all go through for becoming an elder.
Sadly, while it wasn't his fault, he still failed miserably at this, and now there is a high chance that he will pay for it...with his life!
"-and that completes my report."
Murmurs filled the room at the other elders discussed amongst themselves as the weight that the elder felt on his body grew heavier.
Some of them jeered at the kneeling elder, as the sect wasn't very family-like as what is shown to outsiders, backstabbing was common, hell, some of them were fanning the flames of their clan leader's fury to see him suffer, just because of their own petty revenge.
The elder, who was mentally cursing those bastards, began sweating heavily as his patriarch looked down upon him, barely controlling his fury as flames flickered around him.
Then the tapping sound stopped before the clan master released a heavy sigh full of hot air lightly burning the carpet at his feet.
This made the whole room go silent, as some smirked at the suffering of their petty vengeance, while most didn't say anything.
They owned the man nothing.
So why would they bother helping him at possibly incurring the anger of their clan leader upon themselves?
As the verdict was about to be placed but that was interrupted by another elder full of injuries who happened to push the doors open; his name was Fen Jintian.
"Patriarch! May I deliver my piece first before you judge one of our brothers?"
This man was one of the few that truly believed in treating his fellow clan members as a family all while ignoring the blatantly harmful actions of the others.
He was supported by one of his disciples, who happened to be the very same man that fought against the hydralisk that is now an elite.
The man had his master's remaining arm over his shoulders, letting his master lean on him.
The damage Fen Jintian had suffered from was extensive.
The man was missing the skin on the right side of his jaw the flesh on that side barely held it in place, he, now, only had a stump close to the elbow that was left of his right arm.
He only had three fingers left on the remaining arm, his body shook from the pain in his legs and torso, which was covered by the bandages, but the blotches of blood made it evident that fen jintian was very lucky to have survived!
The patriarch squinted at the man, but his harrumph was enough as he sat back down, waiting for possibly good news or something to help with the current situation.
Fen jintian then explained as best as he could as one of their physicians began tending to his wounds before feeding him some pills that helped him recover a little.
From the information, they gathered there was a strange creature that can command these peculiar beasts that can combine with the leader, attack as one, and many other things that were foreign to them what scared them the most was the destructive power of their explosions that surpassed their own self exploding methods, as well as the fearlessness they had even when facing Ling Tianni that happened to be injured as well!
So yeah this was definitely something worth listening to!
The injured man then added something that confused all the people in the room.
"When we all attempted to end this creature's life, it said some words that I couldn't understand before exploding."
Everyone there went silent as they all wanted to hear the words.
"For the swarm(in English)" (A/N remember they use the Chinese language ill add a filler later in the next chapter or so)
Fen jintian trembled in fear from remembering that moment as the smile on its monstrous face in the face of their attacks and death.
The man will never forget those words or that creature as strangely enough, he felt that soon they would meet something like it again.
Those that heard this repeated the foreign word as they all felt a threat, and judging from the information they had heard, the creatures that attacked them was similar to the ones that their fellow elder had suffered from.
The patriarch clenched his fist, crushing the armrest thanks to being humiliated twice by these strange beasts that were bringing down the foundation of their clan!
So he brought forth his commands!
"bring more people to guard the sect, all of the elders are to standby at the outer pavilions, we need more resources, so send word to the black moon merchant guild, we are willing to pay double, then send word to the heavenly sword villa that the creatures that had slain one of their own is currently at a standstill with us."
His decisions were swift; however, since these monsters injured the sword saint, he was willing to drop his arrogance and pride for now since they were allies with the heavenly sword villa and the history Ling Tianni had with their clan.
The elders left one by one, but the patriarch had two people stay behind due to his curiosity.
Fen duanhun then looked towards the disciple of fen jintian in one of the reports it was said that he had fought one to a standstill and broke through to the next level in his cultivation settling at the 4th level of Nascent profound realm.
He was a talent; thus, the patriarch was pleased and now wanted to hear what the boy had to say.
However, the screams mixed with roars stopped the moment of peace of mind that the clan master had felt for a moment as a lone figure floating in the sky rained boulders, and crumpled bodies down upon the sect.
It was a woman that many of the elders recognized as strange sparks that came from her eyes that glowed with revenge.
Her contradicting tone sent shivers down their spines, which were both flirty and full of hate as hundreds of beasts, that hissed and growled, had appeared from the forest.
"Hello, people of burning heaven sect! did you miss me?"
