Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Magman clan's leader used his divine energy to create a shield and compress the explosion to the best of his ability.

But to his dismay, his brother is already effected.

After some effort, he finally managed to negate the explosion. He ran to his brother to see if he is okay. Right now, the first elder's body is corroded with the fire elemental energy. It is very hard for someone to do that to a cultivator at Peak of Astral Plane.

Divine energy is indeed a lot more dangerous for people below Divine Plane.

He tried to inject his own divine energy to neutralize. But it didn't work really well. He cannot force all of that fire elemental energy out just like that.

He called for some guards.

"Take him to the healers. Tell them to reduce the burn wounds first and slowly treat him to lose the energy corrosion."

The guards left with the first elder. Meanwhile, the clan leader looked around.

He suppressed the explosion to its limit. Now, that small area became a very complicated and suppressed fire zone with the chaotic fire elemental energy running rampant.

He closed his eyes and started scanning the surroundings as he yelled.

"How dare a Divine Plane Cultivator sneak up on our clan like this? If you have guts come and face me?"

He scanned the surroundings and his senses finally landed on a particular spot outside the clan walls.

He jumped into the air and went there straight. There he finally saw something.

There is a small area where another ball of this chaotic fire elemental zone has appeared. It is the place where Sam left the formation.

The clan head went there to take a look and understand what is happening there and when he finally did, he was surprised.

The explosion range is small here, but the damage is exactly the same. It is almost like the scaled down version of the same explosion happened here. He didn't know what really made this happen, but he can be sure that both of them are connected.

Another thing he is sure of is that it is done by a Divine Plane cultivator.

He ordered the guards to call for Kumar and Baryn.

After over ten minutes within a meeting room in the magman clan.

"What the hell is going on here? Kumar, you said that someone who is on par with you, which means a person at the peak of Astral Plane is coming here to get the child. But now a Divine Plane cultivator's attack fell on my house."

"Are you sure it is a Divine Plane cultivator's attack?"

"Yes, I am very sure. Even if you guys can handle some Divine energy, the amount required for the attack is way too much. It will be impossible for an Astral Plane cultivator to control so much energy. And as far as I know, none of the family heads that are currently contending have this kind of fire elemental energy.

So, whoever it is, it is someone from outside the current circle."

Kumar held his head in frustration. Everything seemed so messed up. He is sure that Sam is here somewhere. And then there are these battle tracks. Before they could comb it the surroundings, something like this happened at home.

They don't even know which lead to follow and what to believe.

While they are thinking, a guard barged in and said.

"Sir, one of the teams reported that there is a battle going on in the forest. They recorded just a little bit of it."

Kumar stood up abruptly and left the room.

"I will be right back."

He took off at his top speed and left the city to get to that place. When he reached that spot, the battle is nowhere to be seen. All he could see is another vague aftermath.

The guards that spotted the area managed to capture a little part of the video and they showed it to Kumar.

When he saw that video, he was stunned for a momemt.

Sam looked like he is fighting something there. He is hurt a bit. He looked frustrated and exhausted. But there is nothing in front of him.

The only reason the guards even thought that it is a fight and not someone crazily swining their fists around is because they could see Sam being hit and flying around like crazy.

It is almost like the opponent is treating Sam is like a training dummy. He is having a hard time fighting back even though he used all of his elements. This is the first time, he saw Sam in such a defensive position.

He saw Sam kicking Hou Yi's ass in a straight fight when they are on the same level. He has seen him do things that are impossible to fathom, but now he is seeing Sam getting his ass kicked like he was little kid.

And he cannot even see the opponent.

The video is very short. It is only there for a few seconds. But just from that very short content, he could see that Sam is indeed fighting with someone.

He went back to the clan grounds immediately and showed the video to the clan leader.

"It does seem like he is fighting someone. It seems natural."

The clan leader said with a frown.

Kumar then took out the map and then marked all the spots Sam appeared at.

"He is approaching the city, from different directions and every time he came to a certain radius he is being stopped." Kumar said to the father and son duo.

"So, he is indeed coming, are you saying that someone is stopping him from coming here?"

"Maybe. But if Sam really wants to enter the city, he has many ways to do so. He has enough means to sneak into the city without alerting anyone."

"Then why is he not using them?"

"My bet is that he cannot use them right now. Whatever it is that's stopping Sam from entering the city physically, might also be something that is stopping him from using his usual methods."

"Someone is helping us with this?"

Baryn asked in confusion.

Even the clan leader felt a bit skeptical and said.

"Or maybe, someone is stopping him since they might have their own plan to deal with us. As you said, your friend is pretty capable and they might be worried that he might ruin their plan." Magman clan leader tried to make sense of this situation.

"Then why did he even get out in the first place? He already entered the city. What forced him to get out of this place? And what is stopping him from entering again?"

As they are discussing all of a sudden a few more reports came in.

One of them is that there is another fight happening and this time, in a different direction.

Another report is that there is a huge lightning ball forming at a corner of the city and this one is larger than before. Way larger.

The Clan head immediately ran out and flew into the sky. He could see it in the corner of the city. He went there and used his own Divine energy to suppress it.

Meanwhile Kumar took this chance to go to the spot where the fight was being reported from. He saw Sam just running off after he got hit. But this time, he is not just running as if someone is tailing him. He just ran off after seeing that someone is coming there.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING HERE?" Kumar kicked a stone on the ground and screamed in anger.

He saw in the sky where the lightning ball is falling down on to the city's formation while the Clan leader is defending against it. It is not exactly taking a lot of effort for him. But it is just way too big of an explosion that is happening for a span of time.

This is taking him a lot of time.

Kumar ran back once again and looked at the situation. He tried to keep everything in place to see if he can understand what is happening. The Clan leader came back as well and he is also very much frustrated just like the rest.

But even he couldn't put a finger on it.

"Someone is doing something and we don't who and what." He turned to Kumar and asked.

"What do you suggest? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten any idea that something like this is happening. What do you suggest we do?"

"These attacks that are happening. At least we are sure that Sam cannot get in. Think of a way to block the kid from being taken away by a person at your level, even if you are not beside the kid. If these attacks come again, you should be able to defend them.

I will try to get in touch with Sam and get some information. Who ever that is doing this, Sam must have some idea about them."
