Chapter 1557: Desperate Straits! Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
Phantom Clan’s Information Control Center.
It was a place with countless crystals inlaid on the walls of a spacious palace. The crystals were glowing in bright lights with sizzling electricity. They were used to receiving and transfering breaking news.
Those crystals connected to different lands and territories. From here, they could send a message to any location in the fastest way.
There were so many races in this vast sea of stars but only the Phantom Clan had the capacity to gather, sort, and distribute the information magically like that.
In the past tens of thousands of years, the Phantom Clan earned big profits only from selling information and intelligence.
Mei Ji wore a serious face and stood in front of a massive broken crystal. She directed all the searches about the Cloud Mist Territory in the sea of information.
Around a dozen young girls were moving around. All of them looked very busy.
Crack! Crack!
The closed bronze doors sprang open. Right when Mei Ji changed her face, many shadows appeared in the control center.
Cantecie led this team. Fan De Lei was her assistant. They took several handsome men of the Phantom Clan and blocked the entrance of the room. As Mei Ji and the others were baffled, those men at the Immortal Realm abruptly attacked and subdued all the young girls by Mei Ji.
The attackers were all at the Immortal Realm and they were strong men among the male population of the Phantom Clan. Most of the girls in this room didn’t have high realms. They were controlled easily.
“Wanton! Do you want to betray your clan?”
Mei Ji hissed. An icy block of light boomed and turned into thousands of icicles moving around the room. They were deadly weapons attacking the ones who had the guts to attack the control center.
So many icicles turned into pure white starlight. The temperature in this room dropped fast. All the crystals were frosted.
Except for Fan De Lei and Cantecie, the hair of the other warriors in this room was frosted, their bodies frozen. Mei Ji was outraged, her powers freezing the entire place.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The cracking sounds from broken bones rose goosebumps on people’s skin. The Phantom Clan men by Cantecie and Fan De Lei were chilled. They couldn’t even stand firm.
Cantecie’s eyes were like sharp blades. She shouted, “Wanton! You dare to attack me. You don’t respect your senior!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Horrible wind howled from her slender body like furious tornadoes. Slowly, gray tornadoes emerged in her pupils.
Mei Ji changed her visage. When she saw Cantecie, she knew that this woman was about to attack her. “Our enemies are watching us like a tiger watching its prey. Why do you want to instigate a civil war? You don’t want to keep our clan peaceful?”
“It’s not me who rose the civil war. It’s my good sister! And you, Mei Ji!” Cantecie raised her hand. A tornado emerged from her palm and released a power that could tear the world. That tornado aimed at Mei Ji and grabbed her like a heavenly hand. “It’s you who intruded Cloud Mist Territory and attacked Fan De Lei. Moreover, I’m doing good things for the Phantom Clan. I won’t let my sister’s ambition drive the Phantom Clan to an endless war!”
She sneered, “As long as we control Shi Yan, the coming war between the seven clans will be solved easily. Our clan will be safe. We don’t have to sacrifice thousands of members to the universe. We don’t want to see them turn into cosmic dust…”
“Grannie won’t forgive you!” Mei Ji hissed through her gritted teeth.
The wind howling in the tornado became louder. Mei Ji was inside the tornado and she found hundreds of smaller tornadoes revolving inside this tornado. They were bestial mouths that bit her.
Cantecie was at Second Sky of Territory Ancestor Realm, one of the strongest experts of the Phantom Clan. Mei Ji couldn’t resist her when she attacked with her best.
“Montecie?” Cantecie wore a smirking face. “She can’t protect herself. I’m not sure if she could return safely. Even if she returns, she will be badly wounded. What should I be afraid of? Mei Ji, I won’t kill you. I promised Fan De Lei to give you to him. For the time being, I will subdue you and let you see how my good sister ends. I will also make you watch how that bastard Shi Yan walks to his destruction!”
“You dare to plot against Grannie!” Mei Ji screamed ear-piercingly.
“She attacked me. Why shouldn’t I take revenge?” Cantecie increased her power and spoke to Fan De Lei. “I know you love her, but you can’t touch her now. She’s prey to my sister and that Shi Yan. Before we get the results from both sides, you have to watch her well.”
Deep in Fan De Lei was a passionate fire. At this moment, his affection for Mei Ji was revealed. He nodded and took a deep breath with an evil face. “I know the limit.”
“Good then,” replied Cantecie.

A corner in the Sea Domain of Nihility.
Nine dead stars like beehives hovering by themselves in the void. There were so many caves on the dead stars, which made them look like giant beehives. From a distance, those nine stars had formed half a circle, which seemed to be something mysterious.
The nine dead stars weren’t intact. Some were cracked and chipped. As they were here and arrayed altogether, it seemed like some experts had arranged them with his supernatural power.
This area was called Deadly Silence, a corner of the Sea Domain of Nihility, which wasn’t far from the Phantom Clan and the White Bone Clan. Moreover, it was extremely remote and no warrior had traveled here for several thousand years. It was almost an abandoned area.
The meeting between Montecie and the White Bone Clan was scheduled and located in this area. Montecie and Hiro had finished their plan. They were about to join forces and resist the four clans. They had even shared the locations and territories after the war. Everything was regulated and signed.
Around a dozen battleships were anchored on a dead star. Each of them was as big as half of the Endless Sea carrying so many materials and tens of thousands of warriors.
They were just part of Phantom Clan’s force.
They accompanied Montecie and scattered around to explore and get information of the four clans’ league.
Montecie was on one of those battleships to direct her subordinates. After that, she asked them to leave and take actions as planned.
She still stayed in the Deadly Silence corner to control the situation at the prepping stage. She planned to return to the Phantom Clan’s headquarters after locating the four clans’ forces.
It had been ten days. In the beginning, her guards reported daily.
However, lately, the ones who went out for patrol duty all lost connection. No one had returned to report the newest situation.
The danger descended on Deadly Silence corner as they weren’t vigilant!
A big boat created by the monstrous dragon skeleton came with clusters of black clouds. A flag with drawings of monsters bowing rose in the wind. Beverly of the Ancient Monster Clan appeared under the flag, her face dark and sinister.
A massive war chariot made of tens of thousands of souls slowly emerged from another direction. Countless shadows moved under the war chariots as if they had just escaped from the Nine Serenity Hell. Serene Prison of the Soul Clan stood arrogantly, his bearings fierce.
Montecie was frightened. She turned around to look. Her petite but agile body shook hard!
In thick demon flames, Rupert’s majestic body was partially visible. Tens of thousands of Black Demon Clan warriors stood behind him. Instantly, the bloodthirsty and combative aura expanded.
The warriors of the Devouring Clan had spooky green skin. They formed in different blocks according to their power Upanishad. Edgar took them and rode on strange islands that diffused deadly energy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the four clans appeared, the crystals on the chest of some experts by Montecie exploded and their chests shattered.
A beautiful Phantom Clan woman’s ample bosom flattened like a mountain that got cut off. Blood streamed from her body horribly.
What had just exploded was the sound stone connected to the warriors that had left to collect information. Unless they were dead and someone had touched the sound stone, those crystals wouldn’t have exploded like that.
“Montecie, look!”
Beverly of the Ancient Monster Clan wore a cold face. She pointed at the side of the dragon skeleton battleship. The black clouds moved away and reveale the blood-dripping heads.
They were the members of the Phantom Clan who had gone earlier! They were all beheaded!
The entire Phantom Clan’s blood boiled instantly. A resentment that was deep to the bone appeared in their eyes.
“The genocide Shi Yan has started in our four clans is much bigger than your contemporary damage. If you dare to protect such a maniac, you will accept a bloody price!” said Beverly crazily.
“Montecie, if you want to leave, we won’t stop you. However, I’m sure that none of your subordinates will survive,” Serene Prison crossed his arms in front of his chest and spoke haughtily. “As long as you stay here, I can promise you that you and your people will be safe.”
“I want to know how you could find this place.” Montecie tried to suppress her desire to kill. Her eyes were like blades stabbing Serene Prison’s face.
Serene Prison didn’t answer. He turned to Beverly, Rupert, and Edgar. The others regarded him as they knew that it was safe now.
“Then you should see this.”
Serene Prison sneered. The ghosts slowly congregated above his head and created vague images. Those images changed continuously and projected the situation inside the icy chamber…
Inside the secret chamber, Shi Yan was using the Space Seal to lock his body. Zhen Ru appeared with her real shape.
“Zhen Ru of the Myriad Shape Tribe!” Montecie gritted her teeth and hissed.
Zhen Ru nodded to her gently, “Long time no see, Montecie. Oh no, we just met, right in your palace when Mei Ji told everybody there Shi Yan’s location. You just didn’t know that I was there. Anyway, Shi Yan is subdued. He will lose his resistance soon. Mei Ji, your apprentice is controlled by her good sister. Right now, she controls the entire Phantom Clan. You can’t do anything even if you get back there.”
Montecie’s small face paled.
