When the discussion was just about to end, the ground started to shake. It was subtle, but how could this be hidden from the four of them.
Without even saying anything, they vanished from their seats.
Only the fifteen figures standing where left in place with strange expressions.
"What happened? How come the clan master left without even saying anything?" Qinxi was the first to complain.
It was just that a man that had been silent all this while finally spoke.
"Okay shut up! The clan master and the elders should have some emergency to handle. We should take charge of the overall situation." The man spoke in a cold tone.
"Wu Shuang! You have become arrogant lately! Is it just because you are a step further than me in body refinement. Just you wait, it won't be long before I surpass you." Qinxi retorted.
The man didn't bother to reply, as he ordered them without much change in expression.
"Go!"
Everyone heard this and scattered fast to make sure no chaos broke out. For the four top figures to just leave hurriedly, it was obviously an emergency.
When they left the hall, they discovered a bright light vanishing in the horizon.
"Not good! It seems that clan master was not wrong! An enemy attack should be happening. Quickly, gather all those that have entered the stage of bone tempering. We should be ready in case the clan master calls for backup." Wu Shuang suddenly ordered the others.
Even Qinxi that was rebellious didn't dare to talk back. She knew when to shut up. This moment was one of those times.
"After you have completed everything, gather all available manpower and make sure to take precautions to protect the young and old in the clan. I'll head over and see what is it that caused the top management to rush without even informing us." Wu Shuang carried a long sword with him.
At the moment, he was holding it in his arms with a resolute expression.
"I'll go too!" Qinxi didn't want to be left behind and stood up to volunteer going to see what made the clan master and the other elders flustered.
It was just that tens of thousand miles away, the ground was shaking more intensely, a horde of beasts were moving towards the Hong clan.
At the moment, Hong Jun, Su Qingqin, Old master Ye and Old Gu Tian where standing on a higher ground, overlooking the situation in the distance.
They could see the dust was rising, and and each of them was solemn, as they looked at the massive number of beasts rushing towards the clan domain.
At this juncture, only Su Qingqin and Hong Jun were relaxed. Hong Jun had control over the Celestial Supression Pillar and knew how wonderful this treasure was.
The current white deer as the top of the Celestial Supression Pillar, was almost ten times bigger than before. That wasn't all, it was laying lazily with clouds as it's bed and blanket.
In Hong Jun's golden eyes, a white invisible barrier was standing just some distance from the monsters.
With a thought, the silently sleeping white antelope seemed to wake up, and a strange ripple spread out, invisible to the nake eye from the pillar toward all directions.
The monsters at the front that where rushing towards the Hong clan, changed direction and divided with some going left and others right.
"What happened?" Old Master Ye that had cold sweat already dripping couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing much,just some means of confusing the spirit." He wasn't sure how this large effect could be accomplished, but he was pleased.
Only Su Qingqin looked into the beast horde and calmly said, "This trick isn't reliable. Any beast tide is usually as a result of the bloodline coercion. Do you really think it will be easy to handle this issue just by deception? Let me do it?"
"Okay!" Surprisingly, Hong Jun was the first to accept without even a second thought. Others might not know, but how could he not be able to tell as the person married to this woman. She was extremely powerful and he always had this feeling she was becoming stronger by the day.
It was not a lie. Su Qingqin was becoming stronger by the day and the reason was clearly because she was able to comprehend the world easily. She might have been even faster, but the body as her foundation had to also slowly adapt and advance.
Without external help though, she was already the strongest person in the clan. A few months back she told Hong Jun she had reached the peak of Xiantian realm and was waiting for an opportunity to go further.
That was a lie, she wasn't waiting for an opportunity, rather she was waiting for her body and foundation to completely stabilize. Only when she couldn't make further progress would she take another step forward.
Even more importantly, she wanted to make up for weakness she had overlooked in her previous life.
But Hong Jun was confident with her Peak Xantian realm, even those at the golden core realm had to be humble before her.
It was actually his assumption, because he had not really seen anyone at this level make a move. It could be considered as him being arrogant.
He was not wrong though in his thinking about her strength being enough to be used as deterrence.
Most of the families in the vicinity of their clan were foundation building clans and sects had golden core as top management.
Even in exceptional cases that they have those at nascent soul present, it wasn't enough to threaten then. The reason was simple, such beings would either be focused on closed door cultivation or seeking opportunities in other regions.
Hong Jun having been the Clan master all this time had done some research and even knew some information about the factions closest to their clan.
It was also why he suspected that someone might have intentionally led the monsters towards them. He could tell that this was a test and also a chance.
It was just that they needed to have the strength to be able to accomplish this. Su Qingqin was the source of Hong Jun's confidence.
The reason he was also willing to let the two elders go back into the ruins for an opportunity to comprehend true meaning and enter the Xiantian stage was also the presence of Su Qingqin.
The moment Hong Jun agreed to let his wife take action, the two old men had strange looks on their faces.
'He actually dares to agree?' that was exactly the look on their faces.
But before they could think more, Su Qingqin's figure left behind an after imagine that resembled her figure.
"So fast?" Old Gu as he couldn't even see how Su Qingqin moved.
