The night had deepened and the activities of the clan had gradually subsided. The silence was gradually enveloping the clan and the sound from the bustling market of the city was fading away. People had gone to their homes for a good night slip. The silence of the city was broken instantly with a loud sound of what seemed like a gunshot.

There was no shattering sound and nothing seemed to be broken but the sleep of the city residents. The family of five that were having a conversation instantly stood up and chased Keshab who ran out of the house even before the sound. When the four remaining people went outside, they saw a few people hovering above the clan and preparing for their attack.

They were separated by a thin translucent purple colored veil that was rippling and seemed to be filled with obscure characters. The moons had just started rising, the stars were twinkling with faint light but the sky looked eerie today. There were about ten people riding weapons and standing above the mountain protecting array.

It was unknown who had fired the first strike but all the ten people were preparing to attack. At this moment the whole city was alarmed. Many people looked outside from their windows. Some of them started asking questions to the neighbors. The bold ones with little bit of cultivation wanted to go towards the direction of the sound but when they looked towards it, they were instantly frightened. The thin purple veil covering the Rijal clan was visible from all over the city.

If it was something small, the residents in the city would rush to find out but since the Rijal clan was involved, they didn’t dare to rush. Even the other clans in the city only looked towards the Rijal clan. Something big was happening in the Rijal clan and whoever was caught in the crossfire will surely end up dead. Even the City lord’s mansion was holed upon their territory, so there was no chance the low-tier cultivators would have the guts to inquire about the Rijal clan.

Even if they didn’t get caught in the crossfire, the Rijal clan would hunt them down after this ordeal for watching their misery. Although it seemed the royal family cared about the common cultivators, if they offended the clans, the City lord mansion would only watch. There was no justice in this world except for strength. And the big clans were ruthless to the core. Even if they seem nice on the surface, if their dignity was trampled, the clans would be out for blood.

So even if the Rijal clan hadn’t behaved atrociously on the outside, if they were insulted, well there has never been anyone that insulted them to their face and is still alive. There were a hundred ways to make someone disappear here especially when the Bareback mountains are near. The people closed their windows and the streets became empty in an instant. At the Rijal clan, the clan members had woken up and instantly rushed toward the empty ground. When they looked up, they saw around ten people continuously bombarding the clan array. Some of them were using their own power and some were using talismans.

Few were bombarding the array with their bare fists. Among the attackers, there were few familiar faces. The Ming and the Visigoth clans had finally allied against the Rijal clan for real this time. The clan members were confused at first, they were asking themselves ‘Who had the audacity to attack the Rijal clan on their home ground? If it was a sneak attack on the outside, that would be acceptable but attacking the clan itself would only be the work of a fool.’

Not to mention the mountain protecting array, Keshab the only half-step core formation cultivator of the Lunaris city was present in the clan. Being an array master, every array on the clan would aid him in weakening the enemies. A strange stalemate occurred. The clan members were watching the ten cultivators attacking the mountain protecting array anxiously at first, but when the array only rippled after attacking a few times without showing any signs of weakness, the ten attackers started to get anxious.

From their source, they had heard the mountain protecting array could only withstand at most a few attacks from the half-step core formation realm cultivators this was why they were using the talismans. The two clans had spent a lot of fortune to acquire these attacking talismans for breaking the mountain breaking array. Even after they had finished the talismans, there was no crack in sight. They suddenly became anxious and didn’t know what to do. If they even failed to breach the array after all these preparations, they would die of embarrassment before the Rijal clan would hunt them down.

Amrit was looking at the array, although he wasn’t able to lay out the array, he had knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of various kinds of arrays. When he saw the obscure runes running through the array, he instantly realized why the array was so strong. The mountain protecting array was a single formation that covered a specific area and protected it but the array before Amrit was a compound array. Along with the single mountain protecting array, many small arrays were added as a reinforcement making it a compound array.

This was why although the array was barely a second grade top-tier array, its strength had almost reached the third grade array. Almost because every grade causes a leap in strength. So the array easily blocked the attacks from the talismans with the strength of a half-step core formation cultivator. He had to give it to his grandfather, when it came to array, he was really a genius. But Amrit had a premonition, this was not all the clans had prepared, attacking the clan in their home ground with this much preparation would be suicide.

Otherwise, Keshab could challenge the clans in their residence alone, there were no arrays erected on the clans that could withstand more than a few blows of a half-step core formation realm cultivator. The anxious clan members had gradually settled and some had even started cheering for the two clans. Some were hurling abuses and some were cursing their entire ancestors while some were threatening to even butcher their pigs and chickens.

The ten cultivators were filled with embarrassment. Even if the Rijal clan survives, the insults are probably heard by the entire city. Keshab flew on his sword towards the array. When he reached the highest point of the array he looked at the ten cultivators and said in a cold voice “You should pray our clan will be finished before the daybreak for your sake.” Anyone who knew him knew that his anger had reached the max.

At this moment a golden light appeared from a distance.
