Chapter 4701: 5.0453 Where Are They?

Several Forgetfulness River Duo clan members, being a step too slow, were engulfed by the vast, ocean-like swarm of sand scorpions. Wherever the sand scorpions passed, those individuals were immediately gnawed clean, leaving nothing but a pile of bones rattling on the ground.

Duo Qiang stomped his feet repeatedly. While defending, he swiftly slashed several Fire Evil Poisonous Mosquitoes that flew towards him, his face anxious as he looked at Long Qian, the Long clan patriarch, beside him.

"What's going on? Didn't you say the Thirteen Elders would arrive?"

"Where are they?" Is this a joke? Don't tell me he's been deceived!

One had to know that to cooperate with the Forgetfulness River Long clan's actions, he had brought half of his entire family's elite disciples to support them. All this to rescue his youngest son, and even more... to get a share of the spoils. The Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl was far too attention-grabbing.

The Long clan patriarch had promised him that once they obtained the Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl, the Duo clan patriarch could select a hundred elite disciples from their family to simultaneously receive the Mermaid Pearl's purification. At that time... the aptitudes of these disciples might not change, but their next generation would certainly have improved aptitudes.

This was something the Long clan patriarch had promised in black and white, and there was no going back on it. If it weren't for this benefit, how could he allow half of his entire family's elite disciples to come and assist? It was precisely the existence of the Thirteen Elders that kept the Forgetfulness River Duo clan patriarch's heart calm. As long as these thirteen Sacred Domain elders could be summoned back, what major endeavor couldn't succeed?

But now... what was going on?

Watching as numerous disciples of the Forgetfulness River Duo clan steadily retreated under the combined assault of the sand scorpions and Fire Evil Poisonous Mosquitoes, with several disciples gnawed down to mere bones by the sand scorpions, the Forgetfulness River Duo clan patriarch couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. He abruptly turned his face, roaring at the Long clan patriarch again, "When exactly will they get here?"

Long Qian glared exasperatedly at the Duo clan patriarch. "Why are you so anxious? I'm more anxious than you, alright?" The Forgetfulness River Duo clan had only dispatched half of their elite disciples. The Long clan, however, had dispatched all their clan members; almost everyone capable of fighting had gone, essentially putting themselves in a desperate situation to achieve victory. The entire Long clan was out in full force!

"How can an egg remain unbroken when the nest is overturned?" Long Qian said coldly, shooting a glance at the Duo clan patriarch. "What good would it do me to trick you? You and I are allied, and opposing the Heaven Slaying is set in stone. If I were to plot the demise of your Duo clan, what benefit would that bring me?"

"I'm not so foolish as to not understand the principle that a single tree cannot stand alone! The entire Forgetfulness River, our two great aristocratic families are intertwined; neither can do without the other."

The Duo clan patriarch heard this and knew that the Long clan patriarch was speaking the truth. His heart settled slightly; he had just suspected that this Long clan patriarch was trying to trap him, tricking his people into coming to their deaths. Now that Long Qian had laid it bare, he felt a little better.

But he remained anxious.

Smiling awkwardly at Long Qian, the Duo clan patriarch quickly said, "You are using a secret method to summon the Thirteen Elders, but if the Heavenly Dao obstructs them, how can they possibly get through?"

"Have you heard of a Divine Descent Talisman?"

"You're using a Divine Descent Talisman?"

"No, we're using a family secret technique," the Long clan patriarch said coldly, glancing at the Duo clan patriarch. "Do you think I'm still lying to you? I told you before, didn't I?"
