The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 4390

"What? Enter the ancestral coffin?!"

The other governing gods of the Xi'men Clan were shocked at hearing the suggestion. It seemed like a drastic measure.

In fact, the ancestral coffin was such a revered and powerful artifact that only the senior members of the Xi'men Clan knew about its existence.

"That's right.

Look, who are we kidding? Everyone here knows that we are no match for Austin, at least for the time being. If we continue fighting like this, we'll only lose more battles and more people.

I have a feeling that it would be better for us to retreat for now.

We must stay alive for now. As for our revenge, we'll always have a chance to do that once we become strong enough, but only if we survive today.

The Xi'men Clan is not strong enough to defeat Austin yet.

We must unite with the other forces, and might even need the Blade Cosmos on our side,"

the leader said in a thoughtful voice.

A few moments earlier, he had been so furious that he wanted to kill Austin at first glance.

However, he'd calmed down now, which was giving him a clearer perspective of their situation.

He was well aware of the situation they were trapped in.

Austin's display of strength had been terrifying.

The entire Xi'men Clan was no match for him at all.

If they continued to fight, they would only bring death and disgrace upon their clan.

The leader's first priority at the moment was to prevent the Xi'men Clan from total destruction at the hands of Austin.

"I agree with you, leader.

Facing Austin is a frightening prospect. We don't stand a chance of winning him, at least not at the moment.

There is no point fighting him if it means giving all our lives needlessly.

We should preserve the strength and members of our clan first. That should always be the priority!"

A reclusive elder nodded in agreement.

"If that is the case, I am in too."

Several other senior members agreed as well.

Then, the leader gave a telepathic order.

"Gather the main members of the clan. Get ready to enter the ancestral coffin!"

Then he added in a warning tone, "Move together!

We can't afford a chance for Austin to attack any of us in seclusion!"

It was true. Someone moving all by himself would be a prime target. They needed to stay together right now.

As soon as the order was given, the eight governing gods of the Xi'men Clan formed a battle formation to protect each other as they proceeded towards their destination. Together, they retreated slowly.

"Oh?

Now you're all trying to escape? Hah!"

Austin sneered.

"That's enough, Austin! You've gone far enough already!"

one of the governing gods roared in an aggrieved tone.

Hearing Austin say that they were running away was a shameful prospect.

Such an allegation was a huge insult to the entire clan.

They almost couldn't bear the insult.

"Hold your anger! We can't afford a continued fight,"

the leader gravely reminded him.

The senior members of the clan knew that their situation was rather glum. Being forced to retreat and then being called out on that was shameful to say the least.

However, they had no options but to endure this added insulting injury.

Gradually, the senior members of the clan left gloomily, forced to defend itself from time to time.

Outside, the army of the Xi'men Clan also gathered quickly. Austin then noticed that they were headed for a part of space where the chaotic mist was surging violently.

The eight governing gods of the Xi'men Clan had surrounded the army and were leading it to that direction.

"What the hell?"

Austin was a little surprised when he noticed the strange phenomenon. He released his spiritual sense to check their intended location.

His shock and surprise knew no bounds when he discovered that his spiritual sense was unable to perceive the space and time at that spot.

There was a strange law in the chaotic mist over there which prevented anyone from sensing its details.

Austin's spiritual sense had grown extremely powerful over the years.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that it was a stronger sense than most ordinary governing gods had.

But even with such a powerful spiritual sense, he was unable to detect what was going on inside that mist.

Not only that, but Austin also noticed that there was a frightening energy fluctuation in that strange space.

It looked like something deeply terrible and powerful was hidden inside it.

'Is there a more powerful master in the Xi'men Clan who hasn't shown up yet?'

Austin wondered to himself. He had to admit that he was a little frightened when he looked at that undetectable place.

The Xi'men Clan's reputation as one of the oldest and most ancient clans in history was truly earned. In addition to its variety of experience, there were several governing gods in its ranks. This meant that they were incredibly powerful. So, Austin was slightly scared when he thought there was a more powerful master yet to arrive.

However, his fears were waylaid. Soon, the eight governing gods of the Xi'men Clan led their main force into that strange space.

Austin didn't slaughter them along the way.
