If the Star-Eye Clan knew that the Hall People had arrived beneath the Layered Water Desolation within just two days, they would surely be very surprised.
Because they did not have such capabilities.
But that does not mean the Su Clan lacked such means. Under the Black Book Summit, Huo Zhi and the one hundred and twenty formation masters behind him also arrived here.
"Elder, once we start, we will have no other options," one formation master said as he looked up at Elder Huo Zhi.
It was true that they revered Huo Zhi as an idol. It was also true that they all wanted to become people like Huo Zhi, which is why they stood by the clan leader.
However, that did not mean they did not have their own thoughts, nor did it mean they viewed Jie Su with the same high regard as the clan leader and Huo Zhi.
Yao Han Su and Huo Zhi regarded Jie Su as the successor, seeing him as the hope for the future of the Su Clan. But many did not share that vision.
What they saw in Jie Su was merely a potential newcomer, and there were many such people within the Su Clan, including several from direct lineage. To take such a huge risk for a person who is not unique seemed very unworthy in their eyes.
This was a challenge to the Hall People, a challenge to a super clan and its representative camp!
The Su Clan currently did not possess such strength.
Even now, according to Huo Zhi, they would only be able to eliminate the Hall People here without involving the clan. But how could that be possible!
Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of warriors here, even the peak expert inside was not someone they could contend with.
No, Elder Huo Zhi said there was a way to deal with it—a formation they had never heard of, with each person only mastering a partial formation map.
To be honest, they did not really believe it.
In the history of the Su Clan, there had never been a formation capable of covering such a large area, not even the one in Su City!
They had no confidence.
But as Su Clan members, as followers of the clan leader and Huo Zhi, they still chose to come here. They would express different opinions, but would still respect Huo Zhi's orders.
Huo Zhi had been silent, and the mountain wind rustled the light armor of the one hundred and twenty outstanding formation masters, producing a faint sound.
"The All Races of the Universe are about to enter a chaotic era."
Huo Zhi's words entered everyone's ears, making them focus intently on his back.
"Some changes have already occurred in this universe. The nutrition tide is just one of them, and it isn't even the most impactful one."
Others were slightly moved, but no one asked.
"For so many years, although we have been constantly migrating, facing the slave race with no victories just like many years ago, we also haven’t suffered major losses. Every major clan and super clan has been accumulating strength."
"We have lived relatively comfortable years."
"The slave race, at some point, everyone had become accustomed to them. At some point, there was no longer fear. It wasn’t that they were not afraid, but that they had forgotten, or rather, had gotten used to it."
Huo Zhi's tone was very complex.
"When external pressure becomes insufficient, many races begin to have new ideas. Even if the so-called pressure isn't strong enough, it’s just a habit of ignoring pressures, not a disappearance of pressure."
Huo Zhi turned his body, looking at the one hundred and twenty excellent formation masters behind him.
"You are the backbone of the clan leader’s faction, and it is fine to tell you some things."
"Right now, other super clans, especially the leader races of the two camps, have accumulated enough strength. Perhaps within a few years, they will redefine the power structure of the entire All Races of the Universe. There is no evidence for this, but I, the clan leader, and some others firmly believe it, while more people do not believe it, including most of our Su Clan members."
"We cannot persuade those who do not trust us, nor can we wake those who are pretending to sleep. So we must take action ourselves."
