Sword Emperor

However, the body of the Nine Li Clan was extremely strong. Every move they made was filled with great power.    

Although Quanke was extremely powerful, he couldn't affect Chi You and the others at all.    

After a series of useless actions, he could only sigh helplessly.    

"Everyone, why are you doing this?"    

At this moment, Chi You and the others slowly stood up. After hearing these words, their faces became solemn:    

"Fellow Daoist has done a great favor for our clan. This is something that we have done on our own initiative. There is no need to worry about it."    

In fact, they knew very well that before the Water Qilin left, it had instructed the merfolk clan to come here and help the Jiuli clan.    

However, sending the master of an era could also be considered a form of help, and bringing so many people was also a form of help. For the Jiuli Clan to be able to bring so many people could already be considered a huge favor to them.    

Moreover, even if the water kylin had a limit on the number of people it could help, it couldn't possibly stipulate that it needed to bring these spiritual beings, right?    

Therefore, most of this was done by the spring guests.    

For the past 10 billion years, the Nine Li Clan had been suppressed everywhere. It was already very rare for a clan to remain neutral.    

Other than Sun Bing, when had they ever received any help? Especially these spiritual beings, they were extremely important to the current Jiuli Clan.    

Therefore, the merman clan could be considered to be providing timely assistance.    

It was precisely because of this that Chi You and the others were so grateful towards the spring guest.    

At this moment, looking at the merman clan in front of them, the Meng Tou clan, and even the cultivators from the Anti-Fire Country, everyone present heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.    

Although this force wasn't anything compared to the ten thousand clans, it was still better than the Nine Li Clan fighting alone.    

Besides, it was a good start. As for what was going to happen next, who knew?    

When he realized that they had been standing on the shore for such a long time, Chi You felt like he had woken up from a dream and apologized repeatedly.    

"I was too excited earlier and neglected you, Fellow Daoist. I hope that you can forgive me and quickly follow me to the Ancestral Shaman Hall to have a chat."    

As they spoke, the group directly entered the island and arrived at the Ancestral Shaman Hall.    

However, when they looked at the empty Ancestral Shaman Hall in front of them, Chi You and the others had extremely awkward expressions on their faces.    

After all, the Nine Li Clan was still in danger at the moment, so everything was simple. The entire Ancestral Shaman Hall was rather empty.    

Moreover, because there were too many injured people in the clan, all of their spiritual beings were used to help the injured heal.    

Even if there were VIPs arriving at this moment, the Nine Li Clan couldn't bring anything out to entertain them.    

Fortunately, Sun Bing's sharp senses had noticed the Jiuli Clan's embarrassment, causing him to wave his large hand in front of him.    

Following the spatial distortions, tables and chairs appeared in the spacious hall.    

Not only that, there were also all sorts of delicacies on the tables. Not only were there many spiritual fruits, there were also spiritual tea and spiritual wine.    

At that moment, a fragrance filled the air. Although it was nothing for cultivators of their level, it was still a show of appreciation.    

After finishing all the preparations, Sun Bing immediately waved his hand to signal:    

"Everyone, please take a seat."    

After everyone had taken their seats, Black Turtle's deep and heavy voice sounded out:    

"When I returned, I sensed that all the clans were gathering their armies. I originally thought that this was just a smokescreen.    

However, now that I have returned and seen the situation on the island, I know that they want to take advantage of the weakness of the Jiuli Clan to forcefully take action.    

According to my estimations, it would take ten days to half a month, and three to five days at most.    

There's still the Snow Phoenixes and company that haven't returned yet. Facing the army of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, we're unable to do much."    

Everyone couldn't help but frown when they heard that.    

Although it had been a long time, the Nine Li Clan had fought with the Ten Thousand Ancient Races several times, and they had the upper hand.    

However, most of the battles were done through trickery. Moreover, most of the experts from the ten thousand clans had been killed by Sun Bing.    

Once the Ten Thousand Clans started to fight seriously without caring about the consequences, it would be an extravagant hope for the Nine Li Clan to be able to fight against them with just their current strength.    

Looking at the low morale people in front of him, the Black Tortoise continued,    

"This old one still has two other hidden clans. Because they are too far away, it might take a few days before they arrive.    

Apart from that, this old one doesn't have any other methods. "    

Dan Zhu and Er Yan could not help but step forward.    

"Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist. Our clans will definitely stand on the Nine Li Clan's side and we will absolutely not live under the same sky as the Ten Thousand Clans."    

As for the Spring Guest, his face was also full of determination.    

"Although our clan cannot set foot on land, as long as the battlefield is on the Vast Expanse East Sea, our clan will not retreat in the slightest."    

Hearing this promise, Chi You, Fei Lian, and the others felt warmth in their hearts:    

"We thank Fellow Daoist for your help at this moment. If our clan can survive this calamity, we will definitely repay you in the future."    

Even so, the atmosphere of the Ancestral Shaman Hall was still somewhat depressed.    

Because with the help of these clans, the Jiuli Clan seemed to still be at a disadvantage.    

Just as everyone was feeling extremely helpless, Sun Bing's voice suddenly sounded out:    

"Everyone, why do you have to be so emotional? Although there is still a huge gap between us and the ten thousand clans, compared to before, the gap between us has already decreased by a lot."    

Hearing that, the faces of Chi You and the others couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.    

It had to be known that at the very beginning, there were only a few fish that had been caught by the Wizard Race. In the entire Jiuli Clan, there was not even a single expert of the Master of the Era.    

Right now, there were almost 3,000 masters of the era alone, and there were more than 2,000 masters of the era healing their injuries.    

This situation was already many times better than it was at the beginning.    

At the thought of this, the originally depressed atmosphere was reduced a lot.    

Most importantly, Chi You seemed to have thought of something as he looked at Sun Bing with a burning gaze, saying with a face full of anticipation,    

"Brother Sun Bing, since you've said so, could it be that you have a good idea?"    

His words instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.    

After all, everyone knew of Sun Bing's contribution to the Jiuli Clan. For such a long time, every single decision made by the Jiuli Clan was made by Sun Bing.    

Based on his accurate judgement, the Jiuli Clan had only developed to such an extent. So how could they still survive in such a desperate situation?    

Under the gazes of thousands of people, Sun Bing's expression was rather calm. He glanced at the crowd indifferently and said,    

"Since we have long since sensed that they were about to make their move soon, why don't we do the opposite?    

As the saying goes, the best defense is offense, so we can take the initiative to attack now."
