Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Chapter 299 Crisis Arrives

"Master Chen, come to the main hall immediately." A message reached Jiang Chen.

"Um?"

Holding his wine glass, still pondering how to arrange things for his apprentices, Jiang Chen, who was about to leave, was taken aback. "Is that a message from Kou Chongshan, the head of the Kou family?"

"Father?" Kona, who was standing next to her, was also taken aback; she had also received the message.

"Na'er, the city lord also summoned you?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile when he saw his disciple's expression.

"Yes," Kona nodded.

"Okay, let's go together then," Jiang Chen said.

Jiang Chen also led Koona to the main hall.

The main hall, used for offices and administrative affairs, occupies a considerable area.

At this moment, a large group of powerful individuals had gathered inside the main hall.

There were members of the Kou family themselves, as well as some powerful individuals like Shan Yin, Yin Zhe, and Jiang Chen. The vast majority of them were at least mid-stage Star-level (including mid-stage Star-level).

People as weak as Kona are quite rare. She is only qualified to be here because she is a daughter of the Kona clan.

"Brother Chen, why did the patriarch suddenly gather so many people? Almost all the experts of the Kou Clan have been gathered." Shan Yin walked over, with white hair and an ugly head, but his expression was very enthusiastic.

"Who knows?" Jiang Chen didn't seem to care. He was mainly here to live in seclusion and investigate some situations.

We have a pretty good understanding of it now.

If it weren't for the fact that he suddenly took on a disciple named Kona, he would have left long ago.

Since we've accepted it, we should make arrangements before leaving.

"The Kou Clan hasn't gathered so many powerful individuals in a very, very long time. I think this is not a good sign," Shan Yin said.

Not only him, but many powerful figures present were also alarmed. The sudden gathering of so many people without any explanation left everyone with some vague suspicions.

"They've arrived."

"Lady Kou has arrived."

The hall fell silent as a weathered, middle-aged man with graying hair, Kou Chongshan, emerged from a side door, accompanied by Steward Pang.

This Kou Chongshan revitalized the Yu Feng clan, cultivated himself to the Heavenly Realm, and even established his own power base.

He was indeed a powerful and ruthless figure.

However, Kou Chongshan's face was ashen. He walked to the main throne and stood there without sitting down. Looking down, he said, "I know you are all wondering—why I suddenly summoned everyone."

The crowd below all looked up at Kou Chongshanjun.

"A powerful enemy is attacking my Kou clan." Kou Chongshan looked down. "They are expected to arrive in about half an hour."

"What?"

"A formidable enemy?"

"Half an hour?"

Panic immediately erupted in the hall; the news had come too suddenly.

"Lord Kou, what formidable enemy is this? Why is the Kou clan attacking us?"

"Can this be resolved?"

"They attacked my Kou clan in the main city, and the city lord isn't going to do anything about it?"

A commotion broke out below.

Kou Chongshan frowned slightly and let out a soft snort, and the hall immediately fell silent.

"The enemy is very strong, and they have a deep-seated grudge against the Kou family, which is impossible to resolve." Kou Chongshan looked down and sneered, "I know you're all thinking, 'A grudge against the Kou family, not against any of you,' right?"

Many powerful figures below showed slight changes in their expressions.

"I, Kou Chongshan, have been in control of the Kou family since then, and I have treated you all well. Now that we are facing a crisis, I ask that you all contribute your strength." Kou Chongshan said, and although he said "please", everyone present could feel Kou Chongshan's domineering manner.

Clearly, if they don't help, they will incur Kou Chongshan's wrath, and he might even kill them. Within the Kou clan, they are no match for the Kou clan.

"We will do our best."

"My lord, we have received a great favor from Lady Kou, and we will not back down now."

Immediately, several powerful figures spoke up. Those who had survived to this day were not stupid; they all knew that at this point, there was no way to leave.

"Hmm." Kou Chongshan nodded slightly. "Don't worry, I will personally deal with the most dangerous enemy. Many of the Kou clan's experts will also be there to handle it."

"The enemy you're facing isn't much stronger either."

Those present had no choice but to believe; they had no other option.

A formidable foe?

The Kou Clan consists of a group of star-level experts, and their leader is a mid-stage Heaven-level expert (equivalent to a fourth or fifth-tier Universe expert).

Such a powerful being treats an enemy this way; the opponent must have at least one late-stage Heavenly Realm expert.

"I wonder how strong the enemy is," Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Standing beside him, Kouna hesitated for a moment, then quietly transmitted her voice to Jiang Chen: "Master, the enemy is extremely powerful. Our Kou clan cannot withstand them. Master, please stay far away and keep a low profile. Find an opportunity to escape as soon as possible. There's no need for you to die with my Kou clan."

Kona and the others had long been strictly ordered not to leak the information.

However, although they spent very little time together, she felt that her master treated her well and was genuinely kind to her, and she did not want her master to die in vain.

"Can't withstand it?" Jiang Chen was startled and turned to look at his disciple.

Kona nodded slightly to him, and at the same time sent a message: "Master, this is a calamity for my Kona clan. It is my good fortune to have met you before this great calamity."

"But this calamity is too dangerous, Master, please don't get too involved. The enemy is too strong, much stronger than my Kou family."

Jiang Chen sensed his apprentice's urgency and concern for him.

What a good apprentice! Even though he felt he was about to die, he still cared about his master and thought there was still a chance for his master to escape.

They were prepared to die in battle.

Jiang Chen looked at Kouna, smiled, and transmitted his voice, "Don't worry, your master never does anything he's not sure of."

Upon hearing this, Kou felt both relieved and slightly disappointed that her master didn't seem to care about her life or death at all.

Inside the hall, amidst the commotion and unease, time gradually passed.

"They've finally arrived!" Kou Chongshan suddenly stood up, his murderous aura completely undisguised, his imposing presence overwhelming. He then streaked across the hall in a flash of light.

"Second brother, third sister, take good care of yourselves!" The eldest son, Kou Tianlei, glanced at his younger brother and sister and then rushed out of the hall as well.

Butler Pang also rushed out.

Swish swish swish···—·

One after another, a group of figures flew out. More than half of the peak Divine Lord experts of the Kou Clan had left the hall and formed battle formations with great familiarity.

Jiang Chen and the other experts were not so enthusiastic. Instead, they walked to the entrance of the hall and gazed at the distant sky.

"They're here."

"spaceship."

They all saw a huge spaceship hovering in the distance.

Below, the entire Kosh appeared to be covered by a huge energy shield, as if a protective barrier was shielding the entire Kosh.

"boom!"

A dazzling white light shot out from the distant spaceship, crashing into the protective shield of the entire Kou clan. The shield distorted slightly before being blasted open. The large ship barely slowed down, flying directly into the Kou clan's interior through the breach in the shield.

"They broke through the energy shield so easily?" The experts from the Kou Clan gathered in the hall were shocked to see this.

"As expected." Jiang Chen was unconcerned about this scene. Visca was not good at technology, so how strong could the energy shield they made be?

The spaceship arrived, blasted through the outer city's protective energy shield, and entered Kou's territory.

Near Kou's residence, many of the residents of Peak Rock City who lived in the city looked up in fright, some even hiding inside their houses to avoid being affected by the aftershocks of the battle.

"Quick, hide!"

"Quickly, all of you, get into the underground quiet room."

Chaos reigned throughout the area around Koch.
