Kenzal Clan, Redstone City.
To not lose to the Senzal Clan, the Kenzal Clan had a territory just as big as them. The only difference was the way the territory of the Kenzal Clan was divided.
Kenzal may hate Senzal a lot and bashed as well as cursed him whenever he got the chance, but he wasn’t stupid and knew how to administer and manage his clan. There was a reason that the Senzal Clan or Shadow River Sect wasn’t able to take over the Kenzal Clan.
It was all due to the brilliance of Kenzal, the Clan Head of the Kenzal Clan.
The territory of the Kenzal Clan was divided into three parts: Outer, Inner, and Core areas.
Outer area was where people who weren’t from the Kenzal Clan lived. They were usually the common folks of Redstone City, merchants, mortals, craftsmen, and so on. This area was also the first defense line of the clan containing a lot of guards and weapons.
The inner area was where the market was present and business was conducted. All sorts of transactions were done here and was the centre of commerce in the Kenzal Clan territory. There were hotels, spas, and other amenities present for wealthy people to stay and various other entertainment facilities for them to enjoy. Nobody was allowed to live here permanently and were allowed entry only with a permit.
As for the core area, it was the residential area of the clan members itself. The Clan Head and his family lived here. The branch families were on the outer edges of the core area and the centre was where the main family lived.
Kenzal was currently in his study and was going through his tablet in the same manner as Senzal.
“Why did we not get attacked yet?” Kenzal was worried the most because of this thought.
He could see on the tablet screen that the Senzal Clan was invaded by a bunch of disciples from the Shadow River Sect using an artifact.
He monitored every event happening in this war through his tablet.
But what he didn’t understand was that Senzal Clan’s territories got attacked but why was his Clan spared? Why was there no one coming to invade his place?
The army was ready, weapons were on standby to attack any time when needed and he was prepared. Yet there was no one coming to attack him.
According to the mutual pact of truce that he had with the Senzal Clan, one was supposed to help the other if one party were to come under attack .
Following the Pact, Kenzal had to send help to the Senzal Clan but he was on the edge and didn’t know what to do. If he sent help and the sect knew about it, would they not just get an opportunity to attack them?
The unknown haunted one the most. Kenzal wasn’t able to decide properly due to the fear of what may come.
“No worries, I’ll wait till Senzal asks for help. The war has only just started.” Kenzal came to a conclusion and said.
He then swiped the screen on his tablet and looked at the overall area of the Senzal Clan.
“Hmm? The Elven army is still not here?” Kenzal noticed this and said out loud.
He soon frowned and said, “Are they even going to come? If they don’t, we will really lose the battle. Tsk, this useless Senzal. I won’t let myself be used again, the army has to come!”
Kenzal became determined. He tapped the tablet screen a few times and soon Ethan entered his room.
“Yes, Clan Head?” Ethan bowed slightly and asked.
“What’s the status of the Elven army?” Kenzal went straight to the point.
“Stuck in customs. Last time it was the consulate causing problems and even though they ended up getting out of it, this time they are in deep waters. The deputy general of the Elven Customs is involved in this matter now.” Ethan said calmly.
“Are you serious?” Kenzal couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
Ethan nodded. “It was said that the customs got intelligence from someone that there’s illegal goods with the army. The severity of this matter was high since this army belonged to an Elven Viscounty. Therefore, they sent the deputy general to check things and she indeed ended up finding something. I don’t know what that something is though.”
Kenzal rubbed his temples as he heard that. “Is there no way to get them out?”
Ethan shook his head. “Clan Head, it’s better if we stay out of these chaotic waters. We firstly have no idea about the politics of the Elven Continent and there definitely must be some deep conspiracy underfoot there. Our best option to get more help is to urge the Senzal Clan to use more of their resources.”
Kenzal nodded. He had the same thoughts. “I’ll force that bastard to use more resources if need arises. Hell, I’ll make him sell that damn Fusang Tree and pond if the worst comes to worst. But still, it makes me wonder what’s happening there…”
Ethan nodded. “Me too. But we should focus on our war more.”
Kenzal nodded. “You’re right. What’s with the status of…”
The two started discussing things related to the war and while things were still peaceful in this war, there was one being who couldn’t stay still…

“Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! I have to reach the customs quickly or the entire army would be wiped out!”
An average looking black-haired, black-eyed young man in his early 20s, wearing black daoist robes was running in the sky. He was rushing towards the Valiyer Prefecture in the Elven Continent.
The young man’s robes fluttered as he breezed through the air and one could clearly see from the worried look on his face that reaching his destination was really important.
“That lady would kill them on the spot! I need to hurry! Aaargghh! If only I wasn’t stingy with transportation, I would’ve reached sooner!” The young man exclaimed.
He took the cheapest way to travel to the Elven Continent from the Neutral Continent and that caused a big delay in his travel.
Teleportation companies charged people on three factors: one was the time of teleportation, another was the comfort of teleportation, and the last one was distance of teleportation.
If one used the teleportation circle of a cheap company, not only would there be a really long wait to teleport, they would also feel nauseated as well as dizzy after teleportation. Using the teleportation circle of a cheap company meant compromising on health.
There were also the case of people being ripped into pieces during teleportation and not even making it out alive on the other side or people being lost in the void, never to be found again.
The young man, despite knowing the risks, took the cheapest teleportation circle possible and was now regretting it.
“Ugh! Faster!” The young man said to himself. He then said, “time left?”
As he asked that, a blue screen with white letters on it appeared in front of his eyes along with a mechanical voice that read the things on the screen.
[C Class Mission <<Revoke Conspiracy>> time left: 23:56:07]
“Fuck! Less than a day left!” The young man exclaimed again and hurried to the Elven Customs in the Valiyer Prefecture.
Though only two Saint Rank and one Half-King Rank powerhouses were at war and not much was going on at the surface, many people were on the move and it was being watched by many high level beings as well.
The general populace had no idea about it and not even Lith, the two clans, or the sect, or the people involved with the sect had an idea of it.
Though people were on the move now, things had only just started and it was still peaceful.
What the future would hold, even God could not predict…
