Chapter 1556: Dong Ziwans Arrival

Chapter 1556: Dong Ziwan's Arrival

Fortunately, the Di Clan Gods did not know where the Xiang Clan's main base was at. Otherwise, they would have gone there instead.

"Xiang Shaoyun, I'll destroy your Xiang Clan for now. In the future, we'll also destroy your Ziling Sect. I'll see how you'll stay cocky then," said a Di Clan expert with a sneer before swaggering off.

When the Xiang Clan patriarch learned of that, he was infuriated. When he rushed over to the Xiang Clan, he found that the outer clan had been flattened. The devastation drove him crazy with anger.

Immediately after, Purple Lightning Marquis's clone appeared. He said, "The Di Clan decided to attack the Xiang Clan as well? How did they find out about the relationship between the Xiang Clan and the Ziling Sect?"

Purple Lightning Marquis's main body was staying at the Ziling Sect, and he had left only a clone at the Xiang Clan. Not even he had expected the Di Clan to attack the Xiang Clan.

He suspected a certain possibility. Di Batian was supposed to be the only outsider who knew about the relationship between the Xiang Clan and the Ziling Sect. Di Batian was dead, but nobody knew if he had told the Di Clan about it before. The other possibility was the Yu Clan. Due to Xiang Shaoyun's relationship with Yu Caidie, the Yu Clan had long guessed of Xiang Shaoyun's background.

"Lord Marquis, we can't let this slide!" said the Xiang Clan patriarch, Xiang Gaoming.

"Don't worry. Someone will pay for this," said Purple Lightning Marquis. "Have the clan be on alert for now. I'll personally keep an eye out for the Di Clan's people."

Xiang Shaoyun was also informed of the outer clan's destruction. His face turned unsightly.

"Looks like the Di Clan really needs to be destroyed," said Xiang Shaoyun coldly.

The Xiang Clan might already be connected to the Ziling Sect through teleportation formations, but the Di Clan had caught them by complete surprise, not giving them even a chance to provide any help during the attack.

"That Di Monarch's main body has probably returned to their clan. I might be able to deal with him if I work with Purple Lightning, but the other Gods will be hard to deal with," said Xiang Yangzhan with a heavy tone.

"The Di Clan is a bereaved imperial clan. They definitely won't be as simple as they look. We need more help if we really want to destroy them. We can't allow them another chance to rise back," said Purple Lightning Marquis coldly.

Everyone knew how strong the Di Clan was and couldn't think of a good way of dealing with them. In comparison, they were only strong enough to defend themselves. To attack the Di Clan, they had to first break through the god-grade formation. Apart from the formation, the Di Clan also had Gods no weaker than the ones on their side. An attack would be no easy feat.

"Overlord, I can have the Darkdevil Sect help!" said Devil Concubine.

Xiang Shaoyun's eyes lit up, but his face fell again as he said, "This is a fight to the death. It will have great repercussions."

The participation of any big organization in a war of such a level would be a major incident. The Darkdevil Sect might not be willing to get involved in something like this. Just as Xiang Shaoyun was hesitating, he was informed that Dong Ziwan had arrived and was requesting to meet him.

Xiang Shaoyun's mood improved somewhat upon hearing that, and he personally went out to greet her. When he arrived at the main gate, he saw a graceful Dong Ziwan standing there with an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman beside her.

"Ziwan!" Xiang Shaoyun called out joyfully.

Dong Ziwan was dressed in a green outfit that perfectly accentuated her flawless figure. A joyful smile hung on her gentle and refined face while her eyes rippled with emotions, as though all her longing for Xiang Shaoyun had been gathered in her eyes.

"Shaoyun!" she called out, her crisp voice seemingly making the world around her a much better place.

Xiang Shaoyun dashed forth and hugged her without a care for the crowd around them and said, "Finally, I see you again."

He had not seen her since the battle at the Heavenly Snow Mountain. Since she was here looking for him, it was obvious she had thought through things and found peace within herself.

"Sorry. I should have been here earlier, but I was delayed by something else," said Dong Ziwan. Her face was flushed red, making her look even more attractive than before.

"It's fine. So long as you're here, everything is fine," said Xiang Shaoyun. He then looked at the middle-aged woman and asked, "And how should I address this lady?"

He could sense traces of a rather extraordinary aura from the woman. She was most likely an expert of considerable strength. As for Dong Ziwan, she had reached third-stage Saint Realm. It was extremely shocking for her to reach such a cultivation level with her talent. She must have stumbled upon a rather decent fortuitous encounter. Or perhaps the middle-aged woman had played a role in her advancement.

Dong Ziwan hurriedly introduced, "Shaoyun, she's my master, Piao Ran."

"Lord Piao Ran. My apologies for my lack of manners. Welcome to the Ziling Sect!" said Xiang Shaoyun with his hands cupped respectfully.

Since she was Dong Ziwan's master, she was naturally worthy of his respect.

Piao Ran shot Xiang Shaoyun a glance before she nodded and replied with a single "Um" before going silent again.

Her indifference caused Xiang Shaoyun to blank out slightly. Fortunately, Dong Ziwan was quick to explain, "My master does not enjoy talking to strangers. Don't mind her."

"Don't worry. Let's go," said Xiang Shaoyun graciously.

He could sense that Piao Ran was most likely a God. As a God, the air of arrogance around her was understandable. Xiang Shaoyun then brought both Dong Ziwan and Piao Ran to the sect's honored guest area.

The moment Piao Ran stepped into the sect, she sensed several powerful auras, causing her to think inwardly, The Ziling Sect is actually filled with hidden experts!

At the same time, Purple Lightning Marquis and Xiang Yangzhan sensed Piao Ran's aura. They hurriedly swept their senses over, afraid that the Di Clan had come. Only upon sensing that the visitor was brought in by Xiang Shaoyun did they withdraw their senses. After all, it would be considered disrespectful to scan a guest with their senses.

Xiang Shaoyun had people prepare some spiritual fruits and spring water to serve the two. After casually sampling the fruits and water, Piao Ran sat aside silently. Seeing that, Xiang Shaoyun hurriedly had some people arrange the accommodation for Piao Ran before inviting her to rest first. After Piao Ran left, Xiang Shaoyun and Dong Ziwan could finally spend some time alone.

"Sorry, Shaoyun. My master might seem detached, but she is very warm inside. Don't mind her too much," Dong Ziwan apologized again.

Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand and said, "Your master must be a hermit expert. It is understandable for her to have a unique personality. Let's stop talking about her and talk about you instead. How have you been all these years?"

"I have been fine. My lucky break came when I met my master. Without her, I would have died long ago," said Dong Ziwan with a smile.
