Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Current Situation in Northern State
Within the territories of Northern State, utter chaos reigned presently.
Many factions were waging a crazy war against each other, you attack me today, I retaliate tomorrow.
Some even united many powers to assault a single faction.
Nobody knew what was happening. Not long after Jiang Xiaobai had caused a commotion in Northern State by stirring trouble within the ancient clans, the entire Northern State had plunged into such confusion.
Now within the territories of Northern State, the devastation caused by battles could be seen everywhere.
When Jiang Xiaobai and the others entered Northern State and saw this, they too were stunned.
“What’s going on? Why does Northern State look like a war zone right now?”
While passing through the ruins, AnRan finally couldn’t help but ask.
They had seen many such scenes of destruction on their way, and encountered several ongoing battles.
The more they witnessed this, the heavier Jiang Xiaobai’s heart became.
“This is bad, something might have happened to the ancient clans!”
Suddenly Jiang Xiaobai seemed to realize something, and hastily began making their way to the ancient clans, directly leading others into a teleportation circle.
Ao Cheng was rather puzzled, “Jiang Xiaobai, what do you mean? You seem very anxious. Isn’t it a good thing for us if something happens to the ancient clans?”
“Nonsense, Ao Cheng, you are utter fool. When I said something happened to the ancient clans, I wasn’t referring to them meeting some misfortune, but that they have fled!”
Zhuang Huanling, standing side by, retorted irritably.
Upon hearing these words, everyone was astounded.
“Exactly, we all know that before, the Northern State was essentially the Ancient clan’s domain. They controlled everything, practically more than eighty percent of the forces here were their minions.”
“Now it has turned into a dog-eat-dog situation because the master is no more!”
Jiang Xiaobai was also repeatedly nodding.
Ao Cheng gritted his teeth in rage, “Damn it! If we had known, we would have crushed the Ancient clans in one fell swoop!”
Though he said this, everyone understood the situation back then.
They couldn’t even entertain the thought of continuing to battle the Ancient clans, being able to escape Northern State was already seen as fortunate.
After all, the Ancient clans had the backing of the War God Temple. Even though King Li was scared away, it wasn’t yet time to confront the Ancient clans.
With just the Dragon Valley experts they had then, it would be impossible.
Even if we added in help from the An Family of the Northwest, it would be useless; even a camel starved to death is bigger than a horse. A direct confrontation would result in heavy losses.
If the Ancient clans had any trump cards they hadn’t played, the consequences of a reckless assault could be severe. The least devastating outcome would be the obliteration of the Ancient clans after suffering heavy losses.
It might even result in mutual destruction!
So the best option at the moment was to take our time. The Ancient clans had oppressed many forces in the Northern State before. Those forces would certainly design various ways to deal with them.
In facts, things were exactly like that, which was why the Northern State was now in chaos.
By the time everyone had travelled through numerous teleportation circles and finally arrived at the former stronghold of the Ancient clans, all were taken aback.
In front of them wasn’t the glorious structure of the Ancient clans as before – it was ruins.
Out of rage, Ao Cheng kicked a wall into pieces.
“What the hell, the bastards have already run off. What’s happening?”
“Weren’t they insufferably arrogant before, calling themselves the number one power in Northern State? Now, how come they can run faster than a dog?”
Ao Cheng gnashed his teeth and vented his rage in the rubble.
While the others sighed deeply.
“We were still one step too late. Who would have thought that the clan leader of the Ancient clans would be so bold as to abandon their base like this?”
Jiang Xiaobai slowly recounted.
He hadn’t thought that the Ancient clans could simply flee. This didn’t seem like their style.
“What should we do now? We don’t know where the Ancient clans have run off to. Everyone knows what it will eventually result in if we don’t eradicate them completely. This problem must be addressed.”
Zhuang Huanling also gnashed her teeth, “Especially those bastards who dared to chase after us, we must avenge this humiliation.”
As a joke, they’d been chased by the Ancient clan experts for several days and nights. If this grudge couldn’t be settled, they wouldn’t be able to quell the fire in their hearts.
“Don’t worry, the continent is only this big. Where can they run off to?”
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly chuckled.
Looking at the ruins, he could imagine the glory that used to be there.
But unfortunately, when a wall falls, everyone shoves.
Once the Ancient clans suffered serious damages, they would be slowly eroded by others, so leaving now is the best choice.
Still, Jiang Xiaobai didn´t expect Gu Jingguo to be so decisive, fucking hell, gone just like that!
“Now what? With Ancient clans gone, coming to Northern State is meaningless.” AnRan sighed.
“Don’t worry, I have a plan.”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered, “I accidentally ran into a power opposing the Ancient clans here before, called Xuanwu. They might know where the Ancient clans went. If they don’t know, we’ll have to make a trip to Tianmo Mountain.”
In Jiang Xiaobai’s view, these were the only two forces that might know where the Ancient clans were.
Xuanwu because they wanted to kill the Ancient clans respect, they would definitely not give up tracking them.
And Tianmo Mountain seemed to be a faction selling information, and they seemed to know quite a lot.
Conveniently, Jiang Xiaobai also wanted to find out what the hell Tianmo Mountain meant by wanting to take Huseng away.
Of course, Jiang Xiaobai had long anticipated such a situation and had prepared a special method accordingly.
…
At this very moment, in an open area in the center of the sacred city, many people were busy renovating the buildings.
Tall buildings were quickly rising, vaguely there seem to be some resemblance to the previous Ancient clan buildings.
In front of this under-construction site, Gu Jingguo was smiling at the scene unfolding before him.
“Hahaha, it seems that the gods themselves are helping our Ancient clan!”
“The clan master of Ancient clans is extremely gifted, won the favor of Xuanwu clan, and even became the disciple of senior elder of inner gate!”
“Hmph, Our clan’s current status is not lower than your Hai Xianzong, back then when those things happened, you of Hai Xianzong immediately dissociated yourself from us, I will remember this for a lifetime!”
“Wait for it, wait until Beier gains accomplishments and strength suddenly soars, that will be the day you perish!”
Gu Jingguo stood there, the more he spoke the more ferocious his expression became.
Now he only wanted to lie low here for a while, wait for the Ancient North to demonstrate its edge, that will be the day the Ancient clan makes a triumphant return!
Thinking about this, Gu Jingguo couldn’t help feeling the hatred brewing in his heart.
“Hai Xianzong, Jiang Xiaobai, Dragon Valley, you all better wait for me!”
With a cold snort, Gu Jingguo flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
In a while, he would be meeting with the person behind a trading firm in this area. Through their relationship with Xuanwu clan, the Ancient clan is also planning to gradually establish a foothold here.
After Gu Jingguo left, in the middle of the building complex that was still under construction, three figures slowly emerged from the shadows.
