"My Lord, how could this be?"
"Could it be that someone is protecting the Chu Heavenly Clan?"
"Or has something else happened?"
After hearing Lanfu Longping's words, Wuming Doutian's face was filled with shock and curiosity alike.
"You could say it's not exactly that someone is protecting them, but rather that something terrifying has happened."
Lanfu Longping said.
"Something terrifying?"
"What kind of terrifying thing?"
Wuming Doutian couldn't help but press further.
The reason he was so curious was because he knew the strength of the Lanfu Clan.
The Lanfu Clan hailed from a galaxy close to the Sacred Light Galaxy — the Nine Souls Galaxy.
In truth, not only had the Ancestral Martial Star Field fallen into decline, but compared to other galaxies, the Sacred Light Galaxy was also on the weaker side.
The overall strength of the Nine Souls Galaxy far surpassed that of the Sacred Light Galaxy.
The Lanfu Clan, while not the overlords of the Nine Souls Galaxy, still held a certain standing within it.
Due to their special bloodline, the Lanfu Clan required unique resources for their cultivation.
As such, they dispatched personnel to infiltrate various galaxies on their behalf, mining cultivation resources.
While the blue mineral veins contained within the main world of the Ancestral Martial Star Field could serve their cultivation needs, those blue mineral veins were considered rather low-grade by the Lanfu Clan's standards.
Because of this, the Lanfu Clan didn't place much importance on the Wuming Clan.
To the Lanfu Clan, the Wuming Clan was merely one of many pawns.
Or one could say, one of many slaves.
Therefore, the Lanfu Clan only maintained contact with two individuals from the Wuming Clan — Lanfu Longping and Lanfu Jianpeng.
These two, though elders within the Lanfu Clan and towering figures in the eyes of the Wuming Clan, were rather different once one looked at the bigger picture.
Wuming Doutian, having once visited the Lanfu Clan, was well aware of this.
Within the Lanfu Clan, neither Lanfu Jianpeng nor Lanfu Longping were anything of significance. Though they held the title of elder, their status was far from high.
Yet while Lanfu Jianpeng and Lanfu Longping were minor figures within the Lanfu Clan, upon arriving in the Ancestral Martial Star Field, they were powerhouses with absolute authority.
From this, one could gauge what kind of existence the Lanfu Clan truly was.
How powerful the Lanfu Clan truly was defied estimation.
However, based on Wuming Doutian's speculation, within the entirety of the Sacred Light Galaxy, the only force that might rival the Lanfu Clan would be none other than the Sacred Light Clan — the overlords of the Sacred Light Galaxy.
And what kind of existence was the Sacred Light Clan?
They were the dominators who ruled the Sacred Light Galaxy.
From this, one could roughly extrapolate just how terrifying the Lanfu Clan's strength truly was.
But now, Lanfu Longping was saying that if they destroyed the Chu Heavenly Clan, the Lanfu Clan itself risked being annihilated.
This genuinely shocked Wuming Doutian to his core.
What on earth was going on?
Why could the so-called weak Chu Heavenly Clan pose a threat to the immensely powerful Lanfu Clan?
And what exactly was this "terrifying thing" that Lanfu Longping spoke of?
Wuming Doutian's curiosity was almost unbearable.
"Our Lanfu Clan has long maintained an alliance with a certain power."
"That power is called the Sealed Vein Heavenly Sect."
"The reason our Lanfu Clan has been able to sustain this alliance for so long is that the Sealed Vein Heavenly Sect not only shares our ideals and values, but their strength is also remarkably comparable to ours."
"Oh, you've actually met people from the Sealed Vein Heavenly Sect before."
"Last time you came to our clan to deliver mineral resources, wasn't it right when the Sealed Vein Heavenly Sect sent representatives as guests to our Lanfu Clan?"
Lanfu Longping suddenly turned his gaze toward Wuming Doutian.
"This subordinate remembers."
Wuming Doutian did indeed remember. In fact, the events of that day were something he would never forget for as long as he lived.
As the overlord of the Ancestral Martial Star Field, Wuming Doutian was naturally a proud man.
But every time he visited the Lanfu Clan, he was reminded of his true place — that he was nothing more than a minor figure.
