Just like all the other top clans in the Dark Faction, those that had arrived from the Erupting Fist Clan were also covered in wounds and didn't look to be in the best shape.
When looking around further, they could see it wasn't just the top clans, though. They could also see the lower Pagna warrior clans.
Those that were powerful, not quite considered the top five, but still had considerable strength.
They too had been greatly injured. One of the rchants, nad Boom, was sitting in his sedan chair, pleasantly eating grapes over his large belly, but he stopped as he realized what was happening around him.
Then he saw the Ferocious Beetle Clan appear by his side, the leader badly hurt, with a bandage around his head.
He was a middle-stage warrior and one of the strongest clan leaders outside of the top five in the faction.
"Herbee, can you explain what's happening?" Boom asked. "Was there so type of war or battle that occurred that I wasn't aware of?"
Herbee, the leader of the Ferocious Beetle Clan, looked over his shoulder, surveying all the other clans.
"You could say that... you could say that in a week, there was a war going on in the Dark Faction that no one else had a clue about." Herbee then touched the wound on his head.
"All of them were so strong. So of them were Hybrids, others... I don't even know how to describe it... and before we knew it, it was happening to every single significant clan in the Dark Faction."
"What do you an? How could there be so many fights, a war right under our noses, and the public was unaware of it?" Boom asked.
Herbee shuddered to think of the scale of the invasion. He had been attacked by what looked like a sweet, innocent girl.
The whole clan went up against her, but she used a strange sword that ignited her power. Any scratch made on her body, any mark or damage of significance, all of it disappeared.
Not only that, but the girl they fought never seed to tire. There was an endless amount of Qi building up more and more.
"If such a war happened, then why are you all still alive?" Boom asked.
"That's what I don't understand either. They essentially claid to take over the clan. They told us to listen to what they wanted, or they would attack again."
"They took the clan's artifacts, they're in control of the clans, but they've allowed us to continue operating as we have before."
"Then I got a ssage from them, saying to co here. I wouldn't have dared to deny it, which is why I'm here now."
There was more to Herbee's story. Originally, after the girl had let him live, he tried to contact the other clans, to warn them or to plan an attack against the invaders.
Little did he know, the forces were spread wide. They had more than just one powerful warrior, and all the clans were being taken out.
So of the clans he contacted had already gone through what he had and refused to even try going against the enemy attacking them.
It was well-coordinated, and there were even those from within the clans fighting against them.
"Then who did all of this? Was it the Light Faction, the Demonic Faction, or maybe even the Dark Magus?"
A lot of people in the courtyard were starting to think the sa things. They were noticing the sa things and having the sa conversation that Herbee and Boom were having right now. After learning that the Dark Magus was responsible for attacking the Dark Faction, they had to assu it was him.
"No one claid to be the Dark Magus; we never saw such a person," Herbee stated. "I asked the other clans; we even had a eting before coming here."
"All the attackers were different, and so of them... we recognized... they were from the Dark Faction."
"You recognized the attackers? Then you should know who called this eting, right? Who was it? Who was it?" Boom asked.
There was silence from Herbee. How could he say who the attackers were? He couldn't say it out loud, or they might think he was mad.
It was impossible to say that it was them.
"Hey, look, more people are here. Who invited them?" one of the rchants said, pointing his finger at the group.
As for the group of people that had entered the courtyard, it was the students of the Dark Faction, followed by the Crimson Crane and more.
All of Raze's built-up allies had arrived, causing more confusion. So recognized the Crimson Crane, making them think their suspicions were correct, that it had to be the Dark
Magus.
However, why were there students-students they had seen during the Dark Faction's own event that had played out?
"This is an important eting; we can't have students here," the rchant continued.
That was until one of the clan heads pulled out a sword and pressed it right up against the man's neck.
"You shut up, you keep your mouth shut right now! And don't say another damn word." The man was frightened. What would cause the clan mber to act like this?
Amir then jumped out to the forefront of the group and continued to walk, leading the others behind him.
Eventually, they got to the platform at the front, and those who traveled with him spread out to look at all the others. The representatives from the kingdoms, the rchants were looking at each other, wondering why the Crimson Crane, mbers from the Demonic Faction and others were all standing on the platform that was ant for the principal to make announcents, and why Amir was by their side.
However, none of the Clans said anything.
"You wanted an answer, right?" Herbee said. "As for who attacked us, well, your answer is all
of them on the platform right now.
"How could I say it... that our whole clan was annihilated... by a student?" Herbee said,
looking right at Safa.
