Fifteen minutes later.
Sam wiped the blood off of his foot and the fist. He threw the corpses into the storage while the spectre transferred the souls.
But before he could go through it, he looked at the kids and said.
“I will give you some precise instructions now and you need to follow them.
The Gaja Clan is under attack. Someone infiltrated the clan and even the protective formations are destroyed.
Most of the strength of the clan was away. If Giyon’s father or uncle and aunt are here, we would have been much safer.
I will not lie to you. We are in a dire situation. We don’t know if we are going to stay alive after this. But there is one thing I can tell you, as long as your teacher is alive, nothing will happen to you.”
He looked at the kids as he paused. They are all a bit tense. This is way too much for kids of their age, particularly when they grew up in a protected environment like this.
If this is in Starwood city, the kids would have been looking for what they could gain from all this chaos.
He shook his head off of these random thoughts and spoke again.
“Did I ever say a lie to you?”
The kids shook their heads.
“I am not going to start now. Just follow my instructions and as long as I am alive, nobody can touch you. And your teacher is not something that could be killed easily.
Since you are my students, you should be as strong as me mentally. Do you understand?”
The kids nodded.
Sam then proceeded to send them into divine dimension fragments. The earth elemental one he got from one of the League of Blood Iron members.
After that was set aside. He went through the information while injecting a healing vial to him. For some reason, he is feeling a burning sensation in the lungs even though he injected the anti-venom vials he had.
The poison clearly stopped spreading, but it seems like the impact on the lungs was immediate and it didn’t go away.
Even after the healing vial, he still felt that slight burning sensation, even though most of it is numbed down a lot.
But even that was thrown to the back of his head when he was done with the memories.
He was so shocked that he stayed still for a few seconds in the middle of injecting and shuddered slightly.
The lady and the young man that she brought, both belonged to the same clan as Rebo. But by now Sam clearly knew that they didn’t act on their clan’s accord and this is a plan created by some very high-level backing.
He expected the backing to be from some kind of other clan or sect. he even expected it to be a syndicate of a bunch of organizations, but what he didn’t expect is that it is actually Divine League that attempted this.
The league that plays as lackeys for the gods and the league Giyon, Gail and Gamin talked over for a few times.
It is very powerful and it is more of an organization than the League of Blood Iron. At most the league of blood iron is a group of strong individuals that act independently. But the Divine league is much more tightknit. Even though they also act independently and everyone looks for their own personal interests with them being members of their own organizations, they help each other out and benefit from mutual gains.
As long as they are ordered by the gods they frequently contact, they form a faction immediately and act as one.
The only reason they are separated is because of their beliefs in god. They are like religious groups bashing each other. But even the gods don’t have any individuality here. They are driven by benefits. So, these people are no exceptions.
They managed to bring 4 Peak stage Astral Plane consummate cultivators, Eight Astral Plane Middle stage Consummate cultivators and the remaining thirteen Middle-stage Astral Plane cultivators with them.
These twenty-five people not just infiltrated the clan openly. Their plan is to open up the space gate for more of their forces from their various organizations.
There are dozens of Astral Plane Transcendent cultivators and Astral Plane initial stage and middle stage Consummate cultivators that entered through these space gates.
This old lady and the young man are actually part of those dozens of people.
From what Sam got from their memories, they actually are not supposed to be here. They should have been operating based on the orders, like the rest of the group as they targeted certain groups of people.
But because of her personal grudge, she moved away and came here with this young man.
Sam doesn’t know what the exact goal of this is, but he knew for sure that things are not going to go well. The number is too much.
Dozens of Astral Plane Peak Transcendent stage cultivators, Initial stage Consummate cultivators and Middle-stage transcendent cultivators. This is enough to make the clan leader of this place think twice. These four peak stage Consummate cultivators are going to be even more troublesome.
He skimmed through all the possible information these people could have regarding this attack.
But these are clearly small fries. So, all they knew is some of the goals of the attack and that is to eliminate all the prospective leaders of the clan with great potential.
Unlucky for them, Giyon is also on the list.
Sam quickly calculated the number of forces Giyon had at hand and called her immediately.
“Are you out of this clan estate?”
Giyon asked as soon as she picked up.
“No.”
Sam replied as he walked out and saw some people running towards the building. He recognized them immediately. They are members of Giyon’s elite team.
“I am at Jyon’s residence. Your elite team is coming here.”
“What the fuck are you doing there? I said I would look after the kids.”
“Really? Mingiv’s mother was already here. I was barely able to save them. They would have gone through something much worse than death if I had been a bit later.”
Giyon immediately went silent. After a short pause, she spoke up once again.
“I am sorry. But since you already got them. Leave immediately. Use the transference token and leave. You are not a member of this clan, so you might not even be considered an enemy from the other party.”
“You are one of their primary targets. They knew you are staying here. They are going after every potential candidate that could inherit the clan in the future. You are on top of their list.
How many middle-stage or higher Consummate cultivators do you have with you?”
“Four. The rest are on the tour to Mari Clan’s properties.”
“What a fucking timing these guys chose.
Keep your subordinates with you. From the information I got, Dozens of people are coming and there are even Middle-stage Consummate cultivators. So, we cannot say what is going to happen and how many they are going to send to attack you.”
*BOOM*
As he was speaking, Sam suddenly heard an explosion from the other side and he asked hurriedly.
“Giyon, what happened?”
“I am being attacked. But it is well within the control. I will talk to you later. You go back to the stray dimension, using the transference token.”
“Why don’t you escape as well?”
“I can’t do that. I am a member of the Gaja Clan. I need to defend my home. I might not have my sights set on ruling it in the future. But I do have certain responsibilities to fulfil.”
Sam didn’t say anything and just let her be.
He took out a transference token and wanted to crush it. But all of a sudden, he remembered the four babies. He wanted to check them out. But then he realized the strength of Saran and decided to not worry too much.
He sent the elite team of Giyon back to her residence and crushed the token to escape.
But as soon as the spatial energy enveloped him, he suddenly felt pressure stopping him from going away.
The spatial energy disappeared as fast as it came and Sam stood there in shock.
He gulped nervously and broke another token. It was not working as well.
“Fuck me.”
He cursed as he looked at the clan estate in front of him.
While Sam is thinking of what he was about to face and how to survive this whole thing, Giyon who was in her residence organizing all the troops she has under him as she faced an attack that she never expected.
She stood at the entrance of her building as she looked at the large group waiting outside.
There are at least a dozen people. Half of them are Initial stage Astral Plane Consummate cultivators and the rest of Middle-stage Astral Plane Consummate cultivators.
Giyon knew she has to fight it out to survive this blockade today.
She looked at the young man who is leading the team and grinned as her fists brightened with spiritual energy.
