Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 2905  War

In the borders of the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan's Prefecture, numerous soldiers walked to and fro. Although the patrol was tense, they were not apprehensive.

The armies of the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan had gathered in key positions as though they were already aware that they could be attacked at any moment. Their expressions were quite relaxed, soldiers snickering and laughing while standing in formation, scouts looking into the distance to see what was going on.

"Hmm?"

Abruptly, one of their scouts suddenly saw a massive scarlet stormcloud emerge from the distance.

His eyes squinted, but then his expression changed.

There wasn't only one stormcloud but dozens of them. Their enormous, dense mass of figures blotted out the air. Over ten thousand immortals suddenly appeared as they crossed the towering mountains on the other side to their side, forming nine massive scarlet phoenix stormclouds as they shot toward them.

"Soaring Phoenix Retribution Immortal King Grade Battle Formations… This is… an all-out attack…?"

This didn't seem like a unit that had been sent to skirmish and engage in a scuffle that would go on for years, which was quite common, but an entire army sent to decimate towns and cities alike, even a Province!

Nevertheless, he panickingly reported the situation to his superiors, only to receive word that reinforcements were on their way and that they were to hold out.

The scout stood up and gulped, sighing lightly.

"I should've confessed when I had the chance…"

=========

"What!? The Fire Phoenix Clan dared to launch an all-out attack at our northern border!?"

The Starlight Jade Wolf Clan's Patriarch, Fenren Jadelight, furiously roared at the messenger who came to report.

He was in his palace, wondering what to do with the current situation along with his advisers when this transpired. But despite furiously screaming, he quickly calmed, sneering as he turned to look at the Fire Phoenix Clan's envoy, an Elder.

"So this is why you came in your soul body."

"Indeed." The Elder of the Fire Phoenix Clan smiled ever so lightly, "I have come here to announce that my Fire Phoenix Clan declares war on the remnants of the Central Primesky Alliance for siding with the tumorous Anarchic Divergent whose very existence is hated by the heavens and should naturally be eradicated."

"His crimes are said to be impersonation and spreading falsehood, slaughtering the innocents, and without a doubt, being born as an Anarchic Divergent who brings calamities more than a normal Divergent. Starlight Jade Wolf Clan, would you still side with him? If you do so, we will continue our invasion."

"…"

Patriarch Fenren Jadelight glared at him, but his expression seemed to say another thing as he seemed to be still smiling.

"I see the Fire Phoenix Clan intends to commit suicide by courting death again and again."

He raised his hand, jade light surging from his palm and capturing the Elder of the Fire Phoenix Clan. However, the Elder didn't seem to be anxious but even smiled.

"Although I'm a soul body, killing me will only make matters wors-"

"Great Ancestor Renfa. Please do the honors."

At this moment, a white-robed woman stepped forward after Patriarch Fenren Jadelight's words fell.

Her white dress was draped in flowing layers of silk that swirled around her like a waterfall. The fabric was lightly dyed a rich shade of crimson, a color that spoke of passion and vitality. Her green hair was arranged in an elaborate style, with delicate pins and combs holding it in place. A single blossom was tucked behind her ear, a simple but stunning adornment.

Her serene gold eyes viewed the Fire Phoenix Clan's elder with an unknown gaze. Nonetheless, she raised her right hand and clenched her fist.

Jade light surged from her hands again like before, descending on the Fire Phoenix Clan's elder.

"Ridiculous…" He uttered, wondering what they would do when his soul suddenly began to palpitate.

"No…"

A meek voice emerged at that moment when he realized that he was screwed as a karmic attack was unleashed against him. He trembled as he turned to look at Renfa Jadelight, one of the two remaining surviving immortal inheritors of the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan looked coldly at him.

"Since it's war, don't blame me for taking your life."

Within a few seconds, the Fire Phoenix Clan Elder's trembling stopped, his soul body starting to wither away as though it was paper burned by flames.

Looking at this scene, the members of the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan were shaken.

However, Patriarch Fenren Jadelight simply smiled. He knew better than to not underestimate this female immortal inheritor before him. After all, he knew that the legacy of the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan's Jadelight Family began with this woman inheriting the second Starlight Jade Wolf Clan's Immortal Inheritance to have been found.

As for their first immortal inheritor, who was assassinated, he was too much of a carefree individual who spread seeds but didn't establish the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan properly, so the task of establishment then naturally fell on the second immortal inheritor.

After establishing the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan in the First Haven World, Renfa Jadelight gave birth, and the subsequent generations continued to propagate, which made it so that almost all descendants here could be traced back to her, including himself, although it was extremely less since he was a magical beast. After all, it was still possible for a fey to give birth to a magical beast, although that was immensely rare.

She was their Great Ancestor, a woman of grace and virtue but also terrifying as she knew Karma Laws and was able to combine them with her Light Laws.

This was a secret only known to a few. Therefore, he knew talking shit in front of her, even using a soul body, was suicide.

He had heard legends, but now that he saw it for himself, he couldn't help but feel his sullen heart throttle back to excitement. That excitement only grew as he saw that she was only a bit away from entering the Immortal Emperor Stage, which could be achieved within a week.

During this time, he had to protect her no matter what.

However, his brows squinted, turning to look at two more women who were present in the scene.

They appeared worried and anxious, causing him to sigh.

"What are you two worried down for? If he told you he would return to formally receive you, he would appear to take you back without fail."

He sent them a soul transmission, causing them to shiver ever so lightly. The two of them nodded, appearing to have been reassured by their Patriarch's words.

However, their exchange seemed to be noticed by someone.

"Wolf King, are you not angered that you were fooled?"

Another white-robed person stepped up.

This man's attire was a stunning display of elegance and power. His white robe, crafted from the finest silk, shimmered in the light, adorned with intricate golden embroidery that hinted at his lofty status. The sleeves of his white garment were wide and flowing, giving him an air of regal grace as he moved and came to a stop, standing in front of Patriarch Fenren Jadelight.

"This isn't the time to talk about that." The latter shook his head, seemingly unwilling to open this matter.

However, the white-robed man shook his head.

"Without knowing the leader's true thoughts, I feel as though we cannot proceed further, so it is However, the white-robed man shook his head.

"Without knowing the leader's true thoughts, I feel as though we cannot proceed further, so it is better if Patriarch makes things clear."

Patriarch Fenren Jadelight frowned over the third immortal inheritor's insistence. However, he knew that he couldn't stay silent about this matter with him being confronted, causing him to heave a small sigh.

"I am indeed angered that I was played like a fool. However, you saw what happened back there at that banquet. His fourth wife, Shirley, was deceived and almost fated to a life that was without any hope. Was he wrong to have adopted a disguise? After seeing that mess, I don't think so."

The Starlight Jade King shook his head as he spoke his thoughts, causing the elders around him to have complicated expressions on their faces.

"That doesn't change the fact that he had deceived you and everyone else who believed his words when he claimed that he was not an Anarchic Divergent. That was a blatant lie that he couldn't escape from no matter what."

The third immortal inheritor narrowed his brows, further cornering the Starlight Jade Wolf King.

"Although he did deceive us with his identity, I don't think his intentions in befriending us were any less sincere!"

However, the Starlight Jade Wolf King waved his hands, appearing to be stubborn or, perhaps, full of conviction. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

"You're too bold, Patriarch. Do you understand the consequences of treading an unstable path that is innately not good for the Clan?"
