Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 5 The Secrets of the Clan (Part 1)

Back in the village from the sea, Lan Feng immediately called Lan Tian to his side, asking what had happened. He couldn't believe his own eyes, much less that Lan Tian had unleashed a rain of arrows. How could he possibly possess such divine power and ability now?

"What just happened? Where did those arrows come from? Why didn't you listen to me and come back? Do you know that I wanted you to leave safely, not for you to come back and die? I don't know how you managed it, but if you don't have the ability to kill these demonic whale sharks today, then you'll be the one who dies. I don't want to see that happen!" Lan Feng roared at his son. He both loved and hated him, and was also very pleased.

"I...I..." Lan Tian trembled, he had never seen his father so angry. He was also a little scared.

It turned out that the volley of arrows was indeed fired by Lan Tian. In that critical moment, Lan Tian turned around and saw the group of demonic whale sharks attacking his father. Without hesitation, he grabbed the bow and arrow beside him and fired at the sharks. In the heat of the moment, Lan Tian's entire body emitted a faint blue light, and invisible forces gathered in his palm, gradually forming a white ball of lightning. The arrow was ready to be released, and the lightning ball suddenly expanded, shooting towards the demonic whale sharks along with the arrow. The arrow exploded upon contact with the sharks, creating a white blur with incredible power. Several demonic whale sharks were instantly reduced to dust, their blood staining the sea surface, and many more nearby sharks were also killed or wounded.

At the time, Lan Tian didn't know the arrow was so powerful. He only thought about helping his father out of the predicament. In that critical moment, he didn't consider anything but rescuing his father. Now, Lan Tian felt wronged and lowered his head in silence. Lan Feng looked at Lan Tian. His son wouldn't lie. He didn't know what was going on either, and he couldn't understand how it could have such great power. He quickly reached out and gently stroked Lan Tian's head.

"It's okay, Dad believes you."

"Hmm," Lan Tian excitedly raised his head.

At this moment, Lan Feng had a strange question in his mind. Ever since the blue sky appeared, things had been strange in Gantang Village. The Mosom Mountains were not so peaceful either, with wild beasts frequently attacking the village. The coast was also unsafe, with towering waves, more and more thunderstorms, and sea monsters appearing more and more often. The peace that had always existed was gone, and people were living in fear. The villagers were all talking about something! All of this made Lan Feng very uncomfortable, and he didn't know what to do.

Lan Feng's safe return from his voyage, despite the danger, was a cause for great excitement throughout the village. They wouldn't have to worry about food for a while!

After settling Lan Tian in, Lan Feng quietly went to the clan leader to explain what had happened that day and ask for his advice on what was going on.

"Clan leader, I..." Lan Feng arrived at the council hall and was about to say something when the clan leader interrupted him and led him to a certain place.

In a mysterious room behind the main hall, a massive blue crystal hovered in mid-air, radiating an intense spiritual energy and shrouded in mist. Rays of blue light intertwined and rotated clockwise, and tiny bolts of lightning seemed to flicker within the crystal. The entire room was filled with an overwhelming amount of energy, creating a powerful sense of oppression, as if it were about to explode.

"For tens of thousands of years, there have been no unusual reactions in the clan. But since the appearance of the blue sky, something strange has happened here. The energy of the crystals is increasing day by day. The energy here is accumulating more and more. You see, this is a sign," the clan chief said to Lan Feng.

"It seems we must leave this place and return to our ancestral home." The clan chief sighed. His lingering memories made him understand everything; it was the ancestor who wanted them to leave and return to another ancestral home. "Lan Feng, arrange a meeting of the clan elders." The clan chief turned his back to Lan Feng and slowly walked out. It was clear that the clan chief was in a heavy mood. This matter was of utmost importance; it would determine everyone's fate.

"Yes," Lan Feng agreed and quickly ran out to convene a meeting of the clan elders. This was unprecedented; the matter was urgent, important, and concerned the future and fate of the entire village.

In the village square, Lan Feng pressed a button forcefully next to the fire pit. Instantly, the entire mountain village shook violently, and beams of light shot out in all directions. The village elders emerged from their cultivation caves. The bell in the bell tower rang, signaling a momentous event in the clan—a meeting of all elders was to be convened. The clan council hall was filled with villagers, and the six elders were also present, sitting around the clan leader, their faces solemn as they awaited his address.

"I have gathered you all here today to give you an important message that will determine our future and that of our descendants. I hope you will make a careful choice, listen attentively, and understand the will of our ancestors." The clan chief spoke first, delivering what was the longest address he had ever given, and it was very serious.

The clan chief sat in the center of the council hall. He slowly took out a blue book with gold trim from his robes. The book emitted unusual energy fluctuations, radiating waves of blue light. A golden ribbon tied the book together. He glanced at the entire hall, then slowly placed the book on the table in front of him and untied the ribbon.

"bang"

A powerful energy surged from the booklet, causing it to slowly open. Lines of large golden characters flew out, and ancient scrolls of sacred text swirled throughout the hall. This was an ancient scroll, a sacred decree for the entire clan.

The gist of it is this: Our clan has lived here since ancient times, isolated from the world, free from conflict. Gantang Village is the birthplace of our ancient ancestors, and the Mosom Mountains are where they cultivated and attained enlightenment. From then on, the villagers have simply been guardians and companions of our ancestral land. They cannot cultivate superior martial spirits, cannot achieve immortality, and cannot leave Gantang Village, living a primitive life of farming and weaving. This has continued for tens of thousands of years. This is our ancestors' way of protecting their clan, refusing conflict with the outside world, preserving our lineage, and giving the Lan clan a chance to regain its former glory.

The mountain village has undergone a strange transformation, exhibiting tremendous energy fluctuations. It will soon sink into the sea and cease to exist. However, our ancestors have made proper arrangements for us. They will send all the villagers aboard the Blue Enchantress spaceship to Penglai Island, another ancestral land left to us by our forefathers, the place where the Lan clan flourished and prospered. That will be the best arrangement for you, a gift from our ancestors.

This imperial edict is a relocation decree from our ancestor to all the villagers of the Lan clan. The current situation is that we must relocate to Penglai Island, as this place will sink into the sea and cease to exist. There is no other choice but to go.
