Eternal Reverence

Li Fuchen remained silent by the side.

He didn't know the three sword dao saint lords previously. After receiving the mission, he gradually learned about them.

They were the Blast Wind Sword Saint Lord, Weeping Blood Sword Saint, and the Thunderclap Sword Saint Lord. Each of them had the strength of pinnacle saint lords.

Blast Wind Sword Saint Lord was from the wind spirit race. The wind spirit race was adept at wind dao law. He wasn't just fast in movement speed, after cultivating the sword art, his sword art speed was unbelievably fast too.

The Weeping Blood Sword Saint was a blood race saint lord.

That's right, he was of the same race as the Bloodthirst Saint Lord. But he wasn't as formidable as the Bloodthirst Saint Lord and was only considered a regular pinnacle saint lord.

The strongest among them was the Thunderclap Sword Saint Lord. As a member of the thunder awaken race, he was very formidable and was certainly ranked top 20 among the sword dao saint lords in the Divine Leaf City's Swordsmen Guild.

A few days later, they arrived at Gloom City.

"As expected." After seeing the hive-like Gloom City, Li Fuchen was enlightened.

Gloom City was exactly the same as the insect hive Li Fuchen discovered in the dark primal chaos spatial zone. It was just several times bigger.

It seemed like the Gloom Heaven Lord must have battled with the insect race or found an insect race ruins that contained a heaven lord-class hive. The hive was then used as a foundation to construct Gloom City.

It was imaginable that having a heaven lord-class hive as a foundation would definitely provide unbelievable functions. If anyone wanted to attack Gloom City, they would certainly have to reconsider.

…

Inside Gloom City, the Daslu Clan had a very grave atmosphere.

The Daslu Clan didn't have many members, but they were also a saint lord-class clan, and had a good status in Gloom City too.

But since their clan head, Whole Gale Saint Lord perished, the Daslu Clan had been on the decline.

It wasn't due to the clan's influence declining, it was because the Daslu Clan obtained a treasure they should not have.

It was a quasi-supreme rate cardinal artifact.

Quasi-supreme rate cardinal artifacts were actually failed supreme rate cardinal artifacts.

However, it was still extremely powerful and regular pinnacle saint lords wouldn't be able to withstand it.

When the Whole Gale Saint Lord was around, he was still able to fully utilize this cardinal artifact. Below the heaven lords, there weren't many saint lords that dared to offend the Daslu Clan. But since the Whole Gale Saint Lord passed away, the Daslu Clan didn't even have a single elite saint lord and were unable to fully utilize the cardinal artifact.

Gloom City was different from other universe cities. It was a place where conflicts were allowed, but no killing was permitted. The Daslu Clan was in very difficult circumstances and due to the threats from some pinnacle saint lords, the Daslu Clan were already preparing to give up the quasi-supreme rate cardinal artifact.

It was fortunate that the Whole Gale Saint Lord's long time friend visited Gloom City and found out that the Daslu Clan was in difficulty.

As a friend of the Whole Gale Saint Lord and also a peak-class member of the Divine Leaf City's Swordsmen Guild. He issued a morning star-class guild mission and it was to escort the Daslu Clan to the Divine Leaf City.

***

Daslu Clan's main hall…

"The Flame Destruction Demon Liege gave the last warning. If we don't hand over the Annihilation Wristband, he will destroy the entire Daslu Clan." One of the saints said helplessly.

The Daslu Clan had a total of four saints and they were all gathered.

"Are we really going to give up the Annihilation Wristband just like that? It is such a waste!" The youngest saint had an unwilling tone.

He was the Whole Gale Saint Lord's great-grandson, Ibu Daslu and he was also the current clan head of the Daslu Clan. The Annihilation Wristband was naturally in his possession, therefore he was very unwilling to give it up.

A quasi-supreme rate cardinal artifact was too valuable and it was worth at least 5 million peak-grade spirit stones.

He was a regular saint and had to rely on the Annihilation Wristband to reach the level of a regular saint lord. Once he possessed the strength of a peak level saint, he would probably be able to produce the strength of a pinnacle saint lord.

"The Flame Destruction Demon Liege is one of the top 10 saint lords in Gloom City. If he is willing to pay some price, he is competent enough to destroy the Daslu Clan." The most senior saint let out a sigh.

In Gloom City, it was possible to kill someone, but a huge price had to be paid and even pinnacle saint lords might not be able to afford it.

"Let's just wait a little more, Lord Crewe said he had already issued a morning star-class mission. I believe the people from the Swordsmen Guild will arrive in a few days." Ibu gritted his teeth and said.

"So what even if the members of the Swordsmen Guild are here? We are talking about the Flame Destruction Demon Liege!" The saint who had remained silent couldn't help breaking his silence.

To be ranked top ten saint lords in a universe city, it was no longer possible to describe that saint lord as a pinnacle saint lord. They could basically be called unparalleled saint lords.

Normally, it wouldn't be difficult to kill a pinnacle saint lord. Any unparalleled saint lord or near-unparalleled saint lord could kill a pinnacle saint lord easily.

However, it would be difficult to kill an unparalleled saint lord and it was basically impossible. Unparalleled saint lords were standing at the apex of saint lords, even if there was a stronger unparalleled saint lord, the difference wouldn't be drastic.

For someone like the Flame Destruction Demon Liege, unless there were multiple unparalleled saint lords spending a huge amount of time to surround him, it wasn't impossible to kill him. They still had to prevent him from escaping. If the Flame Destruction Demon Liege was adept at escaping, ten unparalleled saint lords still wouldn't be able to kill him.

In normal situations, the Swordsmen Guild would only send some pinnacle saint lords. It wasn't really possible for them to send unparalleled saint lords as there would only be a few unparalleled saint lords in a universe city. If the Divine Leaf City's Swordsmen Guild gathered all the unparalleled sword dao saint lords in the Crosswise River Star Domain, there might not be more than ten. These ten unparalleled saint lords would definitely not be doing missions, unless a huge price was paid, they wouldn't come.

"It will be fine if there are pinnacle saint lords. I don't believe the Flame Destruction Demon Liege would dare to kill the saint lords from the Swordsmen Guild. Furthermore, the Swordsmen Guild is one of the major factions in the universe. They have methods that we might not be able to imagine." Ibu still had hopes towards the Swordsmen Guild.

"Clan Head, the members of the Swordsmen Guild are here." Right at this moment, a Law Phase Realm emperor of the Daslu Clan rushed in.

"The Swordsmen Guild's members are here? Hurry and invite them in." Ibu was greatly delighted.

Shortly after, Li Fuchen and the three others arrived at the Daslu Clan's main hall.

"I am Daslu Clan Head, Ibu Daslu. Greetings to the four esteemed guests."

Ibu didn't dare to put on any airs and lowered his head with a cupped fist. The three other Daslu Clan's saints had also done the same.

Ibu looked up to observe the four.

"They are all very strong, even stronger than my great-grandfather. They are at least elite saint lords. Especially the leader, his qi presence is truly astonishing and is probably a pinnacle saint lord."

Ibu had encountered many saint lords in Gloom City and was able to judge their estimated strength based on their qi presence. In his opinion, the man beside Li Fuchen was the strongest among the four. It was a middle-aged man with thunder-like eyes and had extreme prowess.

"Clan Head Ibu, you can call me Blast Wind Sword Saint Lord. This is the Weeping Blood Sword Saint, the Primary Extreme Sword Saint, and this is our Swordsmen Guild's famous Thunderclap Sword Saint Lord."

The one to speak first was the Blast Wind Sword Saint Lord. He had a well-natured personality and was best at conversations.

"Please take a seat." Ibu gestured with his right hand.

After taking a sip of tea, the Blast Wind Sword Saint Lord asked, "Clan Head Ibu, can I ask how many members are there in the Daslu Clan?"

"Greetings to the four esteemed guests, I am Kerr. The Daslu Clan has a total of 15,892 members now." The one speaking was the oldest saint in the Daslu Clan.

"Mm, not too many. Make your arrangements, we shall depart immediately." The Thunderclap Sword Saint Lord nodded.

In the universe city, for a saint lord clan to only have over 10,000 members, it was considered very little. There were some saint lord clans with deep foundations that had hundreds of thousands of members or even a million members.

"We are leaving now?" Ibu couldn't really react in time.

"If you have any suggestions, you may raise it." The Blast Wind Sword Saint Lord stated.

Ibu took a deep breath and said in a deep tone, "Today, the Flame Destruction Demon Liege gave us the last warning to hand over the Annihilation Wristband. There are probably plenty of spies outside there that work under the Flame Destruction Demon Liege."

"Flame Destruction Demon Liege…" The Thunderclap Sword Saint Lord raised his brows. He heard of the Flame Destruction Demon Liege and knew he wasn't easy to deal with. The Thunderclap Sword Saint Lord wasn't confident too.

"It is the same even if we leave now or leave later. I don't believe the Flame Destruction Demon Liege will dare to touch our Swordsmen Guild." The Weeping Blood Sword Saint licked his blood-red lips.

As a pinnacle saint lord, he was known as the Weeping Blood Sword Saint, because he felt that it was a nicer title than the Weeping Blood Sword Saint Lord.

"The Weeping Blood Sword saint is right. It is the same even if we leave now or later, we can even disrupt his arrangements." The one who spoke was Li Fuchen.

On the Deep Blue Plane, he was called the Sword Saint Lord.

But in order not to attract trouble, he gave himself a new title called the Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord.

With the suggestions from the four sword saint lords, the Daslu Clan immediately started to pack up.

A few hours later, the entire clan started to move towards the city gate.

…

"Flame Destruction Demon Liege, the Daslu Clan is preparing to migrate the entire clan."

The Flame Destruction Demon Liege immediately received the information that the Daslu Clan was moving.

"Thinking of leaving? They are really tired of leaving."

The Flame Destruction Demon Liege had a pair of bull's horns. He was a demon liege with dark-red eyes. He was grunting with furious eyes.

…

After exiting Gloom City, the Thunderclap Sword Saint Lord waved his hand, and a sword-shaped ship appeared.

The sword-shaped ship was a high-grade apex cardinal artifact, but because it was a ship-type apex cardinal artifact, its price was more expensive than regular extreme-grade apex cardinal artifacts.

The sword-shaped ship expanded and was easily able to fit in more than 10,000 passengers. Each of them had a huge area to move around.

On the deck, the Daslu Clan looked at Gloom City which was getting further and felt a relief, but sad at the same time.

Gloom City might not be ideal for living, but the Daslu Clan had been residing there for many years and there were still some reluctance.

"Father, Mother, are we still going to return?" A small boy of the Daslu Clan asked his parents.

"We won't, we are going to a universe city that is better than Gloom City." The small boy's parents rubbed the small boy's head.

"These four saint lords are from the Swordsmen Guild? If our Daslu Clan had a saint lord, we wouldn't be in this pathetic state." Iboviel looked at the 'unapproachable' sword saint lords with reverence and also with desire.

She was Ibu's daughter. She had talents and perception that was top ranked in the entire history of the Daslu Clan's history. Soon enough, she would also become a saint, but the difference between saints and saint lords was too huge. She desired to possess the strength of a saint lord.

Before the sword-shaped ship could fly far enough, a faster ship caught up.

It was a black ship with a fiery aura.

"It is the Flame Destruction Demon Liege's ship!" Ibu and the other saints of the Daslu Clan were pale.
