chapter 1516 independent city state
watching as the group of escaping domain lord realm cultivators managed to seek refuge behind some of the more eager soul ascension realm cultivators who had rushed ahead of everyone else to get their hands on as many of the demon beasts as possible, xuan hao turned his attention away from them and instead focused his attention on the battle that started breaking out between the demon beasts and cultivators from the city.
the group of domain lord realm cultivators had managed to successfully pull off their little scheme. only getting a bit injured in the process, while managing to kill off over a dozen domain lord realm demon beasts, one of them even having reached the later stage of the domain lord realm.
all things considered; the group should be able to recover in a relatively short period of time given that none of them ended up dead. only the one who had ended up losing both of his legs might take a bit longer to recover.
at the same time, as the demon beasts clashed with the increasing number of human cultivators of both the soul ascension realm and domain lord realm pouring out of the city, they began to realize how bad the situation was turning out as more and more of them began to fall.
roooar-!?
rooar...!
rooar...
filled with both fear and surprise over this sudden turn of events, the large flying worm demon beasts started panicking, as more than a hundred of them died in a relatively short period of time, causing the remaining ones to quickly dive towards the ground below-
bang! bang! bang!
where they soon enough smashed into the ground before quickly disappearing out of sight. leaving the cultivators who arrived too late filled with disappointment, as it was clear that there was no way to chase after this kind of demon beast proficient in digging underground. even most of the people in the soul ascension realm didn't stand a chance of chasing after them.
the flying worm demon beasts from earlier were one of these kinds of demon beasts that were abundant and often hunted down by the people from the three clans due to their bodies being perfect material for alchemists refining a kind of soul enhancing pill that was useful for cultivators below the dao seed realm.
learning about this, xuan hao could not help feeling curious about why the dao seed realm cultivators of the three clans hadn't just acted themselves to kill off all the worm demon beasts, as they should have more than enough strength to do so.
but... after thinking things through, he quickly realized why, as those three dao seed realm cultivators should be thinking about the long term sustainability of their clans and killing all of the worm demon beasts would cut off a future lifeline for their clans. even if it might give them a lot of spirit stones and resources in the short term...
"not bad... it might be a good idea to investigate the three clans and see if there is a chance to recruit them into the sect..." muttering this to himself as both his eyes shone for a brief moment, xuan hao slowly began making his way towards one of the three clans in control of the city, the xue clan.
although he had been feeling a bit down knowing that all the soul ascension realm cultivators in the city were already under one of the three clans with dao seed realm cultivators supporting them, his thoughts soon changed as he realized that he would be able to easily recruit all of the soul ascension realm cultivators to join the sect if he managed to successfully recruit the dao seed realm cultivators in control of these clans to join the star shattering sect.
the reason why he first decided on going to the xue clan out of the three clans instead of the other two, being because he had managed to learn that among the three clans, the xue clan was the weakest among them, with their old ancestor already one step in the grave and his lifespan close to running out.
of course, given his cultivation at the dao seed realm, close to running out still meant that he had a little over five hundred years left in him.
however, five hundred years was far from enough for the xue clan to nurture another dao seed realm cultivator. meaning that they would likely soon lose their position, as there was little chance the other two clans would allow them to remain one of the leaders of the city without a dao seed realm cultivator backing them up.
knowing this, the xue clan should also be preparing to leave the city before their ancestor passed away, as they should know that there was little chance that the other two clans would just allow them to leave safely if their ancestor had already passed away.
although... this was just xuan hao's thought about the current situation of the xue clan.
for all he knew, the three clans might be great friends with each other with there being no power struggles present among them, though... considering how the cultivation world worked, he highly doubted this to be the case no matter how peaceful the situation seemed on the outside...
