Chapter 1791: Chapter 1791: Repulsion
"Benefactor, please accept our bow!"
Five burly men suddenly knelt in mid-air towards Fang Bai, their expressions extremely respectful.
"Our ancestors once said, those who can say ’Nine Bends Riverbank, Giant Tribe Fortress, disaster dissipated and difficulty resolved, forever grateful’ are the benefactors of our Giant Clan. No matter when or where, we must obey their command, braving fire and water, with no hesitation even unto death!"
The man with the seventh level of the Thunder Tribulation spoke solemnly.
Fang Bai raised both hands lightly, motioning them up, and when the five burly men of the Giant Clan stood up, he sighed, "My ancestor once said that each member of the Giant Clan is a hero of unmatched loyalty and righteousness, and if there is no urgent matter, one must not disturb their peace. However, I now find myself in some trouble and must seek assistance here."
Several tens of thousands of years ago, before Fang Bai ascended to the Immortal Realm, he once helped the Giant Clan by the Nine Bends Riverbank to resolve a life-threatening calamity. The ancestors of the Giant Clan remembered his kindness and honored Fang Bai as the Clan’s benefactor, instructing the descendants to remember this kindness. Anyone able to say "Nine Bends Riverbank, Giant Tribe Fortress, disaster dissipated and difficulty resolved, forever grateful" is to be obeyed by the Giant Clan.
Over the tens of thousands of years, the descendants of the Giant Clan have remembered the words of their ancestors, always waiting for Senior Fang or his descendants to arrive, and now seeing Fang Bai, they believe him to be the descendant of Senior Fang, hence their excitement.
Among the five burly men of the Giant Clan before Fang Bai, the one with the seventh level of Thunder Tribulation cultivation was the current Clan Leader, Gu Feng.
The four people beside Gu Feng were the four Great Elders of the Giant Clan, named Gu Zheng, Gu Rong, Gu Lei, and Gu Zhen, all at the sixth level of Thunder Tribulation.
The Giant Clan is a unique ethnic group in the three thousand great worlds, said to be the descendants of the Giant Spirit God Clan and the Human Clan of ancient times.
Though members of the Giant Clan are few, their bloodline is extremely powerful.
The children of the Giant Clan are born with the Soul Severing Realm, and due to a magical cultivation method passed down in the clan, they can easily advance to the Thunder Tribulation Realm upon reaching adulthood.
The Giant Clan numbers in the tens of thousands, and the Thunder Tribulation experts make up the majority. Although there are no experts at the eighth or ninth level of Thunder Tribulation overseeing them, each Giant Clan member has combat power comparable to Spirit Beasts of the same realm, making them exceptionally formidable. Their overall strength can be compared to some top sects of the three thousand great worlds, and few dare provoke them.
Though the Giant Clan appears tall and fierce, they are in fact mild-mannered. Since their ancestors’ time, they have lived in seclusion by the Nine Bends Riverbank, leading a life unaffected by worldly conflicts, usually subsisting on hunting Spirit Beasts and cultivating Spiritual Medicine, seldom getting involved in the power struggles of the three thousand great worlds.
Several tens of thousands of years ago, the Giant Clan faced a great disaster because several top sects coveted the cultivation method passed down by the Giant Clan, intending to seize it by force. Later, Fang Bai intervened to suppress those sects, preserving the Giant Clan’s cultivation method.
Subsequently, with Fang Bai’s help, the Giant Clan improved their passed-down cultivation method, making it easier for clan members to cultivate, resulting in a large number of Thunder Tribulation experts emerging, thereby greatly enhancing the overall strength of the Giant Clan.
Due to this matter, the ancestors of the Giant Clan were deeply grateful to Fang Bai, instructing their descendants to regard Fang Bai and his descendants as benefactors.
Giant Clan Leader Gu Feng, upon hearing Fang Bai was in trouble, straightened his expression and loudly said, "Benefactor, rest assured, no matter what the task, our Giant Clan will spare no effort to assist!"
After Fang Bai inquired about the names of Gu Feng and the others, he then pointed backwards and said, "Clan Leader Gu, currently there are two sixth-level Thunder Tribulation and three seventh-level Thunder Tribulation experts tailing and tracking me, intending harm, I ask that you drive them away!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Feng raised his eyebrows and angrily said, "Who dares to harm the benefactor? Let me gather the clan members and we’ll jointly kill them!"
In Gu Feng’s view, although the two sixth-level Thunder Tribulation experts and three seventh-level Thunder Tribulation experts are quite strong, every member of the Giant Clan possesses extraordinary strength. As long as he gathers a dozen or so upper echelon members of the clan to fight, it’s possible to kill the opposing five and vent his benefactor’s anger.
Fang Bai shook his head with a smile and said, "Killing them might bring trouble to the Giant Clan, it’s enough to make them retreat when knowing the situation. It stands that if they know I have ties with you, the Giant Clan, they would not dare harm me again."
Fang Bai thought that the Love Severing Tower was a strong sect, and Lihuo True Person, Zizai Monk, and Liu Sanqian were not easy opponents either. There’s no need to tear face with them, engaging in mortal combat, lest causing their hatred and retaliation, thereby placing the Giant Clan in a disadvantageous position.
In Fang Bai’s view, the best solution would be for the strong members of the Giant Clan to jointly drive away the Leng sisters and the three individuals including Lihuo True Person, without becoming mortal enemies with the Love Severing Tower and others, yet still giving the opposite party a deterrent, resolving his own critical situation.
Gu Feng, seeing Fang Bai consider his clan members’ well-being, felt a surge of fondness towards him, and nodded, "That’s an easy task, please come sit in our Giant Clan fortress, leave the rest to us."
Fang Bai nodded, descending into the fortress of the Giant Clan.
Gu Feng stood proudly in mid-air, issuing a few instructions to a Giant Clan steward below, who respectfully approached Fang Bai, inviting him to sit in the Clan Leader’s hall.
Gu Feng then let out a call, gathering a dozen or so high-level members of the Giant Clan, and together they flew towards the Leng sisters of the Love Severing Tower and the three individuals including Zizai Monk, dozens of miles away.
Shortly after Fang Bai entered the Giant Clan fortress, he heard the distant rumbling sounds in the sky, accompanied by intense fluctuations of spiritual energy, knowing it was a battle between the Giant Clan and the Leng sisters of the Love Severing Tower, along with Zizai Monk and the three others.
In his past life, Fang Bai helped the Giant Clan resolve a catastrophe, leaving behind a joint attack Formation. If this Formation’s heritage has not been lost, then with the strength of Gu Feng and the mighty members of the Giant Clan joining in formation, driving away the Leng sisters and the like should not be difficult.
Indeed, after about an hour, the distant rumbling in the sky and intense energy fluctuations ceased, and soon Gu Feng and the strong members of the Giant Clan returned.
Although each of them was breathing heavily, clearly having expended a great deal of spiritual energy, none were injured, and everyone’s face bore an expression of satisfaction and excitement, indicating the recent battle was a great victory.
"Benefactor, we have successfully driven away those five people without failing in our duty! I warned them, saying the benefactor has deep ties with our Giant Clan, I believe they will henceforth have some reservations when they see the benefactor."
Giant Clan Leader Gu Feng strode into the Clan Leader’s hall, laughing heartily at Fang Bai.
Having escaped the entanglement of the Leng sisters and Zizai Monk, Fang Bai felt relieved, stood up, and cupped his fists saying, "Thank you, Clan Leader Gu, for your assistance."
Gu Feng replied, "The matter is trivial, what need is there for thanks? If not for your ancestors’ help tens of thousands of years ago, our Giant Clan would no longer exist."
At this point, he suddenly remembered something, approached and grabbed Fang Bai’s hand, saying, "Benefactor, please follow me! Our ancestors left a legacy, stating that if Senior Fang or his descendants come here, there is a treasure to be presented!"
