The last Asura Sovereign

After taking the mobile concealment array from Keshab, the fifth elder had taken the children away secretly. They were disguised and sent with the loyal subordinates of Punya to the secret door. It had taken a few hours to do that so when they exited the city, Punya had to make a fanfare with returning members to attract the attention. They didn’t know when the clan would be attacked so having them sent away early will make them more safe.

As for the divine senses and spies monitoring near the clan, Keshab had used his full power to create a sense of illusion and the arrays in the clan helped. As for the fifth elder, Punya had sent two shadows to monitor their situations and erase their traces. Even then there were some spies who found out about it and were following secretly but the shadows had taken care of them from behind. To increase their speed, Punya had given most of the wind talismans in the clan. When the returning members had entered the clan, the fifth elder had already exited the city wall and was running towards the forest.

With the golden light illuminating the grass near the wall, there was only silence and a breeze blowing. There was no sight out of the ordinary or the sound. It was as if there was only a field of grass till the forest in the distance when someone looked from the city wall. Keshab had done an exceptional job with the concealment array. And with the wind talismans, concealing talismans, and body fortifying talismans, the fifth elder and 150 children entered the forest. The shadows sent by Punya were still erasing whatever trace remained.

There were no spies following them but there will be more soon. They were constantly updating the situation to Punya and after he knew they had entered the forest he heaved a sigh of relief. He then asked one shadow to remain on the outskirts of the forest and handle spies and another to continue erasing their traces and protecting them in secret. Although the fifth elder had taken a different route so it wouldn’t encroach upon other clan’s or powerful beast’s territory, there could always be accidents so it was best to be cautious.

Keshab had given Bhimeshwor many arrays to protect themselves, even the novelty arrays he had made when he was bored like water collector, smell canceller, and aura replicator arrays were now coming in handy. Those mundane arrays will make the lives of these children somewhat easy. The 150 children were in the age range of 3-10 but they were obedient not because they understood the situation but because their parents told them it was a great opportunity and they could have anything they wanted if they passed this assessment.

After walking for a long distance, the children were getting tired and hungry, not everyone had started cultivating and even the strong ones were carrying small children on their backs. Bhimeshwor finding a safe, concealed spot told the kids to rest and gave them fasting pills. The novelty tap that could convert the spirit qi of surroundings into drinking water came in handy. Although most of the children were tired, they had some sort of unknown determination on their faces. Bhimeshwor was grateful for the young generation.

With children like this, even if they had to wait for a hundred years, the Rijal clan would be avenged in case they were annihilated in the coming days. Never forget, that the Rijal clan started from only a dozen mortals without much of an inheritance. He put the arrays Keshab had given like the concealment, illusion, warning, and killing arrays on the ground. There were some auxiliary arrays added for survival.

After putting up the arrays, he told the kids to rest and that they would continue after a few hours. The shadow was still erasing their traces and monitoring the surroundings for any disturbances. One of the shadows stayed at the forest entrance and killed any cultivator that came near him following the traces and another was scouting surroundings and scaring the beasts away. Killing the beasts was easy but it could leave more traces so it was not worth the trouble. Even the fifth elder didn’t know there were shadows protecting them and erasing their traces, the concealment of the shadows was just that good.

Although its attack was not that extraordinary, the defense, speed, and concealment of the shadow were top-notch in the foundation building realm. Meanwhile, the clan was in a celebratory mood after half of the clan members returned safely. Punya was still receiving updates from the shadows about the location of the fifth elder. He could only do this much because even when he had deployed most trusted subordinates and planned meticulously, there were still some leaks.

The shadows could only be away from him up to a certain radius, after that, the fifth elder would be on his own. He didn’t know why the shadows didn’t leave after a certain distance away from him but this was already very helpful. He could only pray for their safety. As for the spies that were sending reports to him, he told them to stop and only update him if there were some emergencies. He had already gotten most of the information that low-tier members of any clan could get, any more and there was a risk of them getting caught.

The clans would become suspicious and may change their plans suddenly, this would be unfavorable for the Rijal clan. He also asked his subordinates to come back as it would only be a waste of resources to continue anymore. He had already gotten confirmation for war and that was enough. He had prepared some plans for a few days. He had decided to ask the auxiliary members to utilize all the remaining resources creating anything that would be helpful for survival.

As for the remaining members in the outpost he had planned to call them back in a day or two. Suddenly emptying the outpost would make the clans act even more swiftly so he had instructed Radha to be prepared to depart at a moment's notice. The preparations had almost been finished according to Keshab and Kumari and if the clans didn’t attack even after the preparations were finished, the Rijal clan would sneak attack the clans just to test the waters.

It was a pity the mole had hidden themselves too deeply otherwise, his confidence would soar by another ten percent. The Ming and Visigoth clans had surely got the news of their little preparations, he just had to wait for the night to pass and see for himself tomorrow.
