Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 236 — Situation of the Chu Clan
"The Matriarch, an unknown troop group is heading to our clan, the numbers are in the thousands and it seems like they have no good intention of coming here!"
A rapporteur of the Chu clan delivered a message from the mail delivery pigeon, in the letter there was a large troop group heading to the Chu clan.
Chu Guyu raised his eyebrows hearing the report, the woman was still calm as if he had guessed this event would happen.
"How long will they be here?"
"It's likely they'll arrive tomorrow, Matriarch."
Chu Guyu nodded slowly. "Prepare the entire army of the Chu clan to fight and also send help to the nearby clans and sects to help us."
The reporter was surprised by Chu Guyu's order so suddenly. "Matriark, do you know who they are?"
Chu Guyu smiled bitterly. "It's no mistake that they are the forces under the control of the Sky Cloud Temple alliance, before Xi Kai sent me a letter that there was a possibility that our clan would be attacked."
Xi Kai is the leader of the Xi Family, he who managed to escape from Huang Zhang and his army immediately sent a letter to the others regarding the alliance of the Sky Cloud Temple which had started to move to rule the martial world of the Moon Empire.
Originally their alliance had only attacked a small sect only but now the Sky Cloud Temple had started its plan by attacking clans, sects, as well as noble families.
Although Chu Guyu had already guessed that the Chu clan would be attacked one day but did not expect that time to come today.
The whistleblower then resigned to fulfill Chu Guyu's previous orders, now all that was left in the room was the woman herself.
"You've heard it already, don't you, call the other 12 Chu Elders, we'll be fighting in full force against them."
Chu Guyu was seen talking alone but not long after from void space appeared four girls. The four of them were secret warriors that the Chu clan possessed.
The four warriors knelt down to Chu Guyu and when the clan leader made an order, the four of them immediately dispersed.
Chu Guyu looked calm but he was actually holding back his anger, he was sure the Sky Cloud Temple alliance army would attack his clan with great force.
Chu Guyu could have actually asked for help on the alliance that Jiang Qisha had formed but it would take a long time for the relief troops to come here let alone the enemy troops would arrive tomorrow day.
The news that the Chu clan was about to be attacked soon spread throughout the clan's population as Chu Guyu himself was preaching the news to all of them.
The Chu clan was a separate clan with another settlement, their clan was arguably living independently and covered by the outside world.
Upon hearing the news of the attack, the majority of the Chu clan citizens who were not warriors were given orders to hide and empty their houses, this was in accordance with the strategy that Chu Guyu had prepared to counter the enemy forces.
The residents of the Chu clan will be gathered in a safe hiding place to avoid casualties.
Within a few hours later, help from the sects and clans came, their numbers were nothing but Chu Guyu remained grateful as they intended to help.
"Brothers and sisters, the criminal organization army will soon come attacking the clan. Now it is time for us to show the true power of the Chu clan."
Chu Guyu then told about his strategy and reminded that what they were aiming for was not to eradicate the enemy but to have the opposing forces retreat

Yin Gubei was a warrior of the Light Realm with 5 meridians open, his strength was quite respected in the Earth empire as well as the organization he led.
Yin Gubei had a bottleneck in his martial will because he had been in the Light Realm for decades with 4 meridians open but after joining the alliance of the Sky Cloud Temple, he broke through to the next level.
By eating black pills every day, without having to train diligently he could break through to that level.
Not only did Yin Gubei improve but the organization he led also increased strongly with the black pill so that for this reason Yin Gubei would join the alliance formed by the Sky Cloud Temple.
According to Yin Gubei, the goal of the Sky Cloud Temple alliance to rule the martial world was the same goal he wanted to achieve as well.
Yin Gubei did not mind having to go to the Moon Empire and commit crimes on the orders of the Sky Cloud Temple.
Initially Yin Gubei spirit after joining the great alliance but over time he began to get bored because he had to destroy a small sect or clan.
When Huang Zhang ordered him to attack the great clan, Yin Gubei became a spirit and this was an opportunity for him to show his abilities.
Yin Gubei brought thousands of his troops to the Chu clan, other than himself who reached the swordsman of the Light Realm, there were also three other Light Realm warriors although their abilities were slightly below his.
The three swordsmen of light were leaders of different organizations, Yin Gubei did not care about their origin as he took the lead in this task of assault.
Not only that, there were also dozens of crystal realm warriors who came along, with such great strength it shouldn't be a problem for them to destroy the Chu clan.
Yin Gubei became a spirit when imagining going to fight let alone their distance with the Chu clan was already getting closer.
The expression of Yin Gubei's spirit suddenly faded when it arrived at the Chu clan and found the clan empty like it was uninhabited.
They arrived at night, there should be lighting in the clan but all he saw was a dark settlement.
"What the fuck?!"
Yin Gubei was surprised when there were no guards at the entrance of the Chu clan, as an experienced person he did not consider this an opportunity to infiltrate but rather considered it like a trap.
Yin Gubei did not go straight inside, he ordered some of his troops to check what was going on inside.
Not long after, the inspecting force returned and informed Yin Gubei that there was no one inside.
"Did they run away after they found out there was an attack here..." Yin Gubei muttered softly.
Unwilling to believe it, Yin Gubei entered with his troops, Yin Gubei inspected the houses of the residents but as previously reported, there was no one in the clan.
The settlement of the Chu clan was left behind by its inhabitants, this made Yin Gubei frown and think that the Chu clan was currently afraid to face his troops.
When Yin Gubei was still thinking, a moment later he heard a bell ringing in the middle of the Chu clan residence, Yin Gubei's face became tangled, he realized the sound of the bell was a sign of the enemy.
