"King of Chu! The Chu Kingdom has quite the audacity to let Chu Huannian slaughter a hundred of our clan. Do you know what you are doing?"

"Hmph, if you don't give us a satisfactory explanation today, when the Ancestor Chiji returns from killing Chu Huannian, I will ensure the annihilation of Chu Kingdom!"

"Do you really think that just because your Chu Kingdom's Guardian War God has broken through to the Unity Realm Stage, you can act recklessly in front of my Chixing Clan? The Human Race is a worthless species. Even if your Guardian War God had a cultivation of the Void Breaking Realm, what about it? In front of my clan's Ancestor, he would still be like goods on display awaiting a buyer!"

"Hurry up and open your treasure vault for us. We need to pick some treasures for the Ancestor's preparation, or your kingdom can wait for its destruction!"

In the Main Hall of Chu Kingdom.

More than a dozen Chixing Clan Elders faced the Sovereign of Chu Kingdom and numerous civil and military officials with unabashed arrogance and high-handedness.

They spoke of annihilation, demanding that all the treasures of Chu Kingdom be immediately presented to them.

Whether they genuinely planned to deliver these to the Ancestor Chiji or pocket them themselves, no one knew.

The Sovereign of Chu Kingdom, aware of the conflict between Chu Huannian and the Chixing Clan, was now ashen-faced and trembling in fear as the Chixing Clan arrived to demand accountability, not daring to refute and busily agreeing.

The surrounding officials were all as frightened as quails, not daring to make a sound.

As for some generals who had a backbone, their dissatisfaction with the arrogance and humiliation of Chu Huannian had already led to them spilling blood on the spot!

The Sovereign of Chu Kingdom ordered the treasure vault to be opened, allowing the Chixing Clan Elders to select treasures, while internally blaming Chu Huannian for provoking this disaster.

Originally, when Mu Jinyu slaughtered those four Chixing Clan members, it happened in Qingshi City, which actually belongs to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

So, if Chu Huannian had not intervened, the Chixing Clan and Ancestor Chiji would likely have caused trouble for the Great Zhou Kingdom, not the Chu Kingdom!

But because of Chu Huannian's reckless interference, the Chixing Clan did not seek out the Great Zhou Kingdom but came to trouble the Great Chu Kingdom instead.

Now, having only these elders asking for the treasure vault is one thing, but when Ancestor Chiji returns, it's truly a life-threatening situation!

By that time, who knows how many will die!

Most importantly, even the Sovereign of Chu Kingdom might perish under the wrathful hands of Ancestor Chiji!

This is why the Sovereign of Chu Kingdom was filled with resentment towards Chu Huannian.

As the treasure vault of Chu Kingdom was opened, a dazzling brilliance emanated, causing the crafty eyes of the Chixing Clan Elders to glimmer with greed!

"Quick, let's go in and pick gifts for the Ancestor!"

"Wow, this is a Red Refined Snake Horn of a thousand years! Great stuff, great stuff..."

"Wow, this is a Three-Flowered Ice Ginseng Fruit. I didn't expect such heavenly materials and earthly treasures to exist in such a small place as Chu Kingdom!"

"We've struck it rich. When the Ancestor returns, he'll definitely praise us..."

With the treasure vault opened, the Chixing Clan Elders rushed in, frantically selecting items, their eyes dazzled by the choices.

In the end, some of them almost got into a fight!

"I saw it first!"

"What do you mean 'saw it first'? I grabbed it first, so it's mine!"

"Damn, wanna fight about it..."

"Hey, don't fight, don't fight, or you'll end up destroying the treasure vault. That would be a huge loss!"

In the end, thanks to the advice of a few more sensible Chixing Clan Elders, they didn't end up fighting amongst themselves.

This left the Sovereign of Chu Kingdom secretly very disappointed.

In no time, the treasure vault of Chu Kingdom was almost emptied by them.

To this, the Sovereign of Chu Kingdom and the civil and military officials didn't dare show any anger openly.

"You there, hand over your storage bags; we'll see if you've been holding back on us!"

At this moment, a Chixing Clan Elder casually ordered the Sovereign of Chu Kingdom and those officials.

Their tone and attitude were like ordering a pack of dogs!

Yet no one in the Chu Kingdom's court dared to resist, nor did they dare utter a word.

After all, they had behind them an Ancestor Chiji who could hold his own against those at the Void Breaking Realm!

Collecting their storage bags, checking the contents, there were quite a few good things, making the Chixing Clan Elders smile with satisfaction.

They held only contempt for these cowardly humans.

Despite having many at the Void Breaking Realm in their own ranks, and even higher levels, they failed to support their subordinates, letting them be bullied so thoroughly without daring to speak up.

Honestly, even if Chu Kingdom hadn't allowed them to extort, the Chixing Clan wouldn't go so far as to annihilate it.

Such arrogance would easily provoke the dissatisfaction of the Human Race's upper echelons, which would be dangerous.

However, these cowardly humans dared not even gamble, not even daring to breath heavily in their presence, which was truly laughable.

Thinking of this, the Chixing Clan Elders revered their Ancestor Chiji even more.

If it weren't for his formidable strength, the Chixing Clan, which was sparsely populated, wouldn't be able to thrive even in Chu Kingdom.

After confiscating their storage bags, the Chixing Clan Elders warned them: "Remember, we took your treasures to give the Ancestor a surprise, extinguishing the flames of anger over the clan's loss; don't you dare let anything slip to the Ancestor, or if he loses that sense of surprise, he might annihilate your Chu Kingdom!"

"We wouldn't dare..."

The Sovereign of Chu Kingdom and the high officials all nodded quickly, not daring to say anything else.

Yet in their hearts, they were anxiously pondering that if nothing was there for Ancestor Chiji upon his return, wouldn't they provoke his wrath?

How on earth could this be remedied?

'Ah, truly troublesome little ghosts!' the Sovereign of Chu Kingdom sighed helplessly in his heart.

"Buzz!"

At that moment, suddenly a twist in the void appeared in the main hall.

Then, emerged a distinguished-looking woman in exquisite armor, supporting a young man who appeared unfamiliar, stepping into the hall.

"Hmm?!"

"You..."

"Chu Kingdom's warrior..."

"You're unharmed?!"

Upon seeing the identity of the woman, who turned out to be their Guardian War God, National Scholar Unparalleled Chu Huannian, they were astounded, their faces turning pale once more.

Chu Huannian, pursued by Ancestor Chiji for so long, hadn't died, and now she appeared in their Chu Kingdom's Royal City, wouldn't this endanger Chu Kingdom even more?

If Ancestor Chiji continued his pursuit, the Chu Kingdom, which might originally have been fine, could end up being annihilated by the enraged Ancestor Chiji!

"Oh, Chu Kingdom's warrior... alas... what were you thinking provoking the Chixing Clan? Even if your sister was bullied, you shouldn't have acted so rashly!"

"Indeed, you should stay put now. Wait for Ancestor Chiji to return and see how we can resolve this matter!"

"Yes... if you keep running, Ancestor Chiji might not let go of this incident so easily!"

In their panic of being implicated by Chu Huannian, everyone hastily tried to persuade her to stay and face death!

None of them considered that while Ancestor Chiji was chasing Chu Huannian, she had turned the tables and defeated them instead!

Because it was simply too unrealistic.

Chu Huannian listened to their advice without a change in her expression, entirely disregarding them, then turned to the corpses of the generals who died violently beside her, her face suddenly darkened, filled with a raging fury, and she rebuked, "Who killed them!"

"Huh?! Was it you?!"

Chu Huannian suddenly turned to stare at the ten or so Chiji Clan Elders, her eyes bursting with fierce killing intent!
