"SHEN TANFENG!!!.......".

In a cave there was a hundred men dressed in purple robes with an insignia of black flame on their backs. For some reason the black flame insignia was easily discernible from the black robes, this is because it was created using mana .

These men were all members of the Shen clan, at this moment they were surrounding an old man and a young girl. The old man had white hair and was medium built. His face was full of wrinkles and liver spots he was wearing a brown robe and there was an insignia of a black bull trampling the earth on the left hoof and trampling the sea on the right hoof.

The little girl next to him had black hair and big round eyes and she looked about three years old she wore a blue kimono that covered her hands and feet that had the same insignia as the old man on the back. Next to the old man and the girl were two corpses they wore yellow gowns that had the same insignia as the man and the little girl. They were both dead.

One was shot by an ice arrow through his heart and he still had frost covering the wound, the other was scorched to death his corpse emitted a foul burning smell that spread throughout the cave increasing the men in black from the Shen clans blood lust even more , but they did not dare to be rash and attack the old man.

The two corpses had the same insignia as the girl and the old man, this was the sign of the Tu family clan.

The Tu clan and the Shen clan had been in conflict for generations, they would always fight over resources, land and even petty things like whose clan’s junior is most good looking.

But the Tu clan never thought that the Shen clan would attack them while carrying around the young miss of the family three-year-old Tu Tsuki, especially while the white haired old man was there.

The white haired old man’s name was Tu Zhang , he was the eldest brother of the current Tu clan patriarch Tu Bai.Tu Zhang was an elder of the Tu clan and one of the strongest person in the Tu clan Just second to the patriarch. So his position in the family was not small

"Shen Tanfeng show yourself i know your there!" Tu Zhang lifted his head angrily shouted, but there was no response.

"Do you all have no shame trying to kill a little girl” seeing that he wasn't getting any answer he turned to the mages and mage warriors of the shen clan. But all he received were eyes filled with bloodlust.

Seeing that the situation isn't turning any better Tu Zhang clenched his teeth and strengthened his resolve. He looked at Tu Tsuki was just staring at him with her big watery eyes, she asked " Uncle Zhang am I going home ?"

Tu Zhangs heart throbbed when he heard her question. He shook his head with a sad look on his old face and said " Uncle will try his best little ki".

If it was a one versus one he would immediately win easily but against a combined attack of a hundred people with various spells and techniques he was lacking in confidence.

"Since you won't let us go.... some of you will leave your lives here" after saying this Elder Zhang slammed his hands unto the cave floor. Immediately when his hands touched the ground a circle of light appeared under him and Tu Tsuki.The circles of light radiated as runes instantly appeared on it.

"Crust breaking beetle!"

crack

Cracking noises began to start as the Shen clan members saw the ground start to lift and wrap arround them individually. They then noticed that they formed large stone beetles, the beetles then began to attack the shen clan members.

The ground rose then covered elder Zhang and Tu Tsuki then formed into a beetle, the beetle then began to dig down the earth’s crust inside the beetle elder Zhangs face was pale using that spell is easy to him but with the amount of beetles he created it was almost over the limit of his mana reserves, he only had enough mana in his body to keep him conscious. But he was still pushing his body and mind to its limits because he needed to control the beetles attacking the Shen clansmen and the one he was using to escape while the Shen clansmen are busy.

"Everyone split into groups deal with the beetles that captured our subordinates and the rest of us will deal with that old earth worm" a Shen clan member shouted.

40 people then stayed behind to battle the beetles while the rest started attacking the beetle that was digging into the earth’s crust

One by one the beetles containing the constricted shen clansmen were destroyed. The shen clansmen didn’t even take to the time to make sure they weren't hurting the people inside. Hence most of the casualties Callateral damage caused when they were being broken free.

bang

The beetle containing elder zhang and Tu tsuki was hit. Elder Zhang instantly coughed out a mouthful of blood because of the impact, but he kept persisting, all he could think about is getting little tsuki home

crack

boom

The tunnel the beetle was digging suddenly fell through.

bang

The earth beetle fell onto the ground.

It seems we fell into an underground cave thought Elder Zhang. He then started looking for Tu tsuki he then saw her standing near the pieces of the earth beetle.

She was standing in a stunned sate her hair was disheveled and her kimono was torn and had blood stains from her wounds but the wounds weren’t serious so he was happy. But when he looked to the place where she was looking what he saw astounded him.

It was a Large glowing crystal, but that wasn’t the astonishing part there was a baby in it.
