Eternal life begins with saving my clan-Chapter 30: Eve of the battle that shook the Barren Land

Su Yen stood beneath the sprawling branches of an ancient oak tree.

A tranquil smile gracing his lips.

The dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves above, casting playful shadows on the ground around him.

In his hands, he held a delicate letter, its paper aged and creased, a testament to its journey.

His eyes traced the elegant strokes of the inked characters with a sense of anticipation and contentment.

'Huang Yin… I knew you're good with words,' he thought with a chuckle escaping his lips.

It had been days since he had been exchanging letters with the Barren Land Goddess, Huang Yin.

Previously, the letters started casually, talking about music, pirates that troubled her clan, and gradually moved into personal relationships.

The relationship between them was still young, but with the content of the letter, he could already see a brighter future.

Just as he was contemplating how to respond to the letter, hurried footsteps came from outside.

Creak!

Elder Su Jie rushed inside the courtyard with a solemn expression written all over his face.

"What is it?" Su Yen asked, seeing the solemn expression on his face.

Taking a deep breath, Elder Jie tried to quell the ragging emotions in his heart and responded as calmly as possible.

"We're being attacked."

For a couple of seconds, Su Yen didn't change his expression.

The light smile still hung on his face, and the gentle breeze swayed his glistening black hair.

Finally, he asked, "By whom?"

"We don't know... Some of the eyewitnesses said the Blood Whisperer," Elder Jeri said solemnly.

"Blood Whisperer!" Su Yen said, with a slight shock creeping up his face.

"Yes... That is what surprised everyone," Elder Jie responded. "Who would dare do such a thing? Didn't they know the repercussions?"

Su Yen didn't care about the repercussions or what now.

But what made him furious was that his clan was under attack.

With their strength and show of power against the Li clan, who would be so foolish to do something like this?

"Get the elders," he commanded.

Inside the hall, all the elders assembled with grave expressions on their faces.

"Three of our caravans have been attacked by the Blood Whisperer, and all our stores in the nearby towns have been attacked, killing our people," Su Ming said with indignation.

"With the strength of our soldiers guarding the various stores and caravans, ordinary Body Building realm warriors won't be able to kill them. Only someone above the Body Building realm," Supreme Elder Feng responded with grave expression.

"We need to find the source of this and deal with it quickly. We don't know what those behind the instigation of the Blood Whisperer used as a bargaining chip, lest the barren land turns into ruins in the next couple of days," Supreme Elder Hua added.

The last time the Blood Whisperer appeared in the Barren Land, it was almost reduced to ruins.

Everywhere the Blood Whisperer passed, they destroyed everything, leaving nothing behind.

When the blood contract was initiated, there was no turning back until there would be no blood to devour.

Recovering from the dark times, every clan and family had been warned not to do anything with the Blood Whisperer.

Moreover, no one knew where the Blood Whisperer originated and who were the people behind it.

All their possible hideouts had been destroyed in the barren land, yet they were like cockroaches that refused to die.

Su Yen knew of this, and that's what made him furious.

He had just managed to give the people hope and increased the world's providence.

Now, some foolish person dared to touch his reverse scale.

'Blood Whisperer or not, they will die,' he vowed.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a ding in his head.

[Ding!]

[Karma: Li clan (1500/2500)]

'What!' Su Yen was stunned for a second when he saw the sudden jump in the Karma bond with the Li clan.

Taking a deep breath to regain his calmness, he asked the system.

'System, how did this happen?'

[Ding!]

[With the involvement of the Blood Whisperer and the Zhang clan in alliance with the Li clan, the Karma effect increased.]

[Host is advised to deal with this as quickly as possible.]

Reading the notification, Su Yen squinted his gaze, and his boiling emotions receded.

He was eerily calm.

As for those below, they looked at Su Yen with puzzlement.

Their clan was under a huge threat, but their clan was quiet, not uttering a word.

All exchanged subtle glances with conflicted expressions on their faces.

Hmm! Hmm!

Supreme Jie cleared his throat as he tried to get Su Yen's attention.

"Get our men; we're attacking the Li clan," Su Yen commanded.

Hearing this, the elders were astounded for a moment before a bright smile appeared on their faces.

This is what they wanted.

But when they remembered who they were up against, they were deflated like punctured balloons.

"Clan master, I think we should be prudent. Dealing with Blood Whisperer needs caution and plans. Moreover, we alone won't be enough to deal with them," Supreme Elder Jie said.

Hearing this, all the elders nodded in agreement.

Even though every one of them wanted nothing less than to destroy the Blood Whisperer, their rationality told them the right thing.

"Besides, apart from the clan master, none of us can deal with anyone above the Body Building realm," Su Ming added.

Hearing this, the corner of Su Yen's lips curled up a bit, and he waved his hand.

*Whoosh!*

A shiny brown and black armor appeared in his hand. It was identical to the Metal Bone Construct, but the intricate design around it made it entirely different.

"What's that?" Su Lan asked with wide eyes.

It was not only her who was curious about the new armor. Everyone inside the hall was curious, their eyes wide open, staring at the shiny armor without blinking.

Is this a new type of armor? Can it fight warriors above the Body Building realm? They all wondered in anticipation.

"Elder brother, come and try it," Su Yen said.

Quickly, Su Ming put on the new armor and felt the vast difference between his previous armor and this.

"I-It is so different," he muttered in shock.

"Wait for it… Wait for it… catch, brother," Su Yen said and threw a spirit stone.

Catching the spirit stone, Su Ming was dumbfounded for a moment, before he quickly recovered and put the stone in the small opening on the armor's chest.

And behold…
