Senzal Clan Territory.

Senzal and Kenzal clan territories were present right next to each other and they shared a common border. They both were such close rivals that whatever one had, the other would have something similar or same stuff.

For instance, Senzal Clan had Duram Tea Peak which brought in a major chunk of revenue for them annually. There was something similar in Kenzal Clan with the only difference being that they sold coffee instead of tea.

Senzal Clan had a Half Saint Rank army and Kenzal Clan had it as well.

Kenzal Clan had three to five high level artifacts and Senzal Clan had around the same amount with them as well.

Both clans had a pretty similar population density. They even had a defense system that appeared as if one copied the other.

For ages, both have been working hard to not get left behind by the other and were trying their best to take over the other clan. But due to being in the Neutral Continent and later on due to the Shadow River Sect, they let go of all such thoughts and focused fully on defending against the sect.

An enemy's enemy is a friend was the thing they went with and came together. Shadow River Sect played a major part in bringing the two together despite the enmity of thousands of years.

The clan head of the Senzal Clan was currently going through all of the manuscripts present in the clan. He was sitting in his study and it was a small room with only a desk and a chair.

Illumination in this room was brought solely by the lamp present beside the table and the whole atmosphere here seemed to be very eerie and serious.

"Ideologies. Misunderstanding. Conflicts." Senzal picked the most important keywords from the manuscripts and said it out softly.

He was the sixth patriarch of the Senzal Clan and as the clan had entered into a final do or die situation, he was going through the important manuscripts that his predecessors and he had recorded.

This included the rich history of the clan, various techniques, resources, and many other secrets that only the clan head could access.

"Our history and what started it all…" Senzal said softly and started reading about the history of the Senzal Clan.

The first patriarch of the Senzal Clan was a wandering merchant. He had a good deal with a noble in some continent and became wealthy.

Now that the patriarch was rich, he was being scammed and used periodically by the other nobles and due to that, being tired of everything, he decided to travel to the Neutral Continent where there was no nobility.

After reaching the Neutral Continent, the first patriarch worked hard and got himself a footing in Redstone City. Then he went ahead to create his own clan and that was the beginning of the Senzal Clan.

A while later, another lone wolf entered the Redstone City market and dominating it, he ended up giving some tough competition to the first patriarch of the Senzal Clan. This lone wolf was the first patriarch of the Kenzal Clan and due to his dominance in Redstone City, it caused some troubles to the Senzal Clan patriarch.

The two patriarchs weren't bigshots yet and they were yet to have a strong footing in the city. They did have a bit, but not anything that would make them stand out from others.

Senzal and Kenzal worked hard day and night and through a lot of struggling, they ended up taking over many small businesses in the city and soon, it was Kenzal Clan that took the entire mining business of the Redstone City and Senzal Clan was the one to have taken the entire artifacts market in the city.

All auction houses and places that sold artifacts belonged to the Senzal Clan whereas all mining as well as elemental energy rich zones found in the mines or near them belonged to the Kenzal Clan.

Both prospered greatly and became the tyrants of Redstone City. Their cultivation rose as well and no sooner, the entire city was theirs.

The CNC never did anything to them as both took over the entire territories of the city via legal means.

But, there were lots and lots of conflicts present during their time of ride and also during their prosperous years. The two clans had ambitions of taking over the entire city by themselves and this caused a major conflict between them.

The conflict escalated to their future generations and things became so bad that they would always go for the kill if they ever saw someone from the opposite clan.

The CNC wasn't aware of the killings as everything was done in secret. Living in this continent for so many years and becoming a resident of it had made the people aware of a lot of things. Thus, they were able to commit murders in secret and nobody had an idea of it except the other clan.

During the reign of the fifth patriarch of the Senzal Clan, Wan and Ling had met each other in a conflict somewhere far away from the two clans. During their time together, they battled a lot but soon ended up realizing these things weren't worth it.

Not just that, they hung out together a lot many times after it and fell in love.

This thing was caught by the Kenzal Clan when they noticed something was off with Wan that made him leave the clan from time to time and be out for a lot of days in one go.

Senzal Clan noticed the same thing about Ling as well after a few days. But before the two could take action and kill them, Wan and Ling had ended up running away from these two tyrants.

Both the love birds were a little around thirty years in age and their cultivation also wasn't too high. They were also not very important members of their respective clans but were known by everyone due to their traits.

Wan was a calm and composed individual with great intellect. He also knew how to improvise things and his these abilities were what allowed him to excel even in the most stressful of situations.

Like Wan, Ling was a genius as well but this wasn't known by the clan. Ling had never revealed this to them as she didn't want to take part in the politics of the clan. She already used to have a lot of attention on her for being a great beauty and she didn't want to attract even more unwanted attention.

Her cousins always used to eye her in a dirty manner with their lecherous gazes and since they were young and didn't have too high of a cultivation, Ling used to manage herself from being touched by them and was slightly protected.

But if her intellectual abilities were let out and known by the old fogies of the clan, they would never let her be at peace and do her own thing. From what she knew about her own clan, some old guy was bound to r*pe her sooner or later if he finds her too interesting.

Wan and Ling had a lot of problems with their own clan members and when they had the chance to run away, they did just that.

Both loved each other deeply and nobody knows about what the two went through, but when they appeared in the Redstone City again, they were already Half Kings and these two clans weren't able to even touch a single hair of these two.

Right in front of these two tyrants, the two people ended up clearing a big part of their territories and established the Shadow River Sect.

They always attacked one clan at a time and never attacked both parties as they knew that attacking the two together would cause less damage and things would be pretty hectic. Thus, attacking one clan at a time, they ended up forming a base for themselves in the city.

The fifth patriarch of the Senzal Clan and the seventh patriarch of the Kenzal Clan were killed by these two people in secret and it was due to this reason that the current two patriarchs had to take the role of the Clan Heads.

The fifth patriarch was the father of the current patriarch of the Senzal Clan and he was a good person. The death of his loving father made Senzal really sad and angry with the Shadow River Sect and he knew that the two parties would never be able to reconcile.

As for Kenzal, his predecessor that died was his uncle and he didn't care much about it. But what hurt him the most was that Wan had killed his wife and his children and though he thought of getting a new one, he never recovered from it. i????????r????????????. com

Both clans thus went on a truce and they resisted the onslaughts of the Shadow River Sect together.

Wan and Ling didn't attack them when they banded together and went to look after their sect instead. They worked hard to cultivate disciples and after so many years, at present, the sect had a rich history and a lot of resources.

After reading all of this Senzal put the pile of manuscripts on the table and rubbed his temples.

"All of this fine, but…" Senzal said softly.

He then took out the quill from the inkpot and circled something on the manuscript.

"...but what exactly happened between the period when the two ran away and came back? How exactly did they become so strong and have so many resources? Who backed them? Or which inheritance did they loot or come across?"

"Sigh…" Senzal put the quill down and sighed.

He then rubbed his temples again and muttered softly, "I really need to find this out or it may lead to our demise for sure."
