Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven
#1557 - Into the Dark
In the dead of night, the Han family looked silent, seemingly yet to recover from the day's blow.
In fact, deep within a cave in the Han family's forbidden area, many people were gathered.
These people were none other than the contemporary leaders of the three great ancient families and the Eternal Saint Realm experts who had never emerged in all of history.
This meeting was of a very high caliber. The contemporary leaders were only the heads of the three great ancient families, and the rest were all Eternal Saint Realm experts, and the most outstanding individuals in terms of cultivation level within these three families.
They were numerous, numbering in the dozens when gathered together.
The deepest part of this cave was an ancient grand hall. From the traces of time left on the hall walls, it could be seen that it had a very long history, built in an unknown era.
Inside the hall, stone chairs, stone pillars, metal objects, and so on, all engraved with ancient patterns, bore deep marks of time. Especially the stone chairs and stone pillars, which were covered with many cracks and even turned greenish, looking as if they had grown a layer of shallow moss.
In the center of the hall's floor was a circular area, engraved with deep red patterns. Every engraved line of the pattern was dark red, with the edges slightly tinged with green.
This scene looked as if it had been irrigated with fresh blood a long time ago, which had dried up in time and left a blood color that could not be erased even by the growth of moss, causing a sense of oppression at first glance.
The edges of the engraved pattern were lined with stone chairs, surrounding the pattern.
The Eternal Saint Realm experts of the three great ancient families were all quietly sitting on the stone chairs at this moment, and no one spoke.
The three family heads also quietly stood guard beside them, slightly lowering their heads and hunching their chests, adopting a very humble posture.
"What? Do you fellow Daoists intend to remain silent forever?
We have already comprehensively analyzed the pros and cons during our previous discussions. You should understand that this is our best choice in this great era, and it is the only choice!
A wise man submits to circumstances. After so many years, we should make a decision today."
The Eternal Realm expert from the Han family broke the silence in the hall.
His tone was full of determination, and cold glints constantly flashed in the depths of his eyes as he spoke, with bursts of killing intent bursting out.
"Fellow Daoist from the Han family is absolutely right. This is indeed our best choice.
This great era will be very cruel in the future, but within this cruelty, there is indeed a chance, it just depends on whether one is willing to seize it.
The future direction of a family is naturally decided by the great figures in the clan, but this matter is too important, so we should test the intentions of other members of the family."
The Eternal Saint Realm expert from the Zhang family said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the contemporary family head of the Zhang family, who was standing behind him, said, "Reporting to the ancient ancestor, after we three family heads felt that the feasibility was very high, we have already tested it.
The members above the backbone of our three families all have great ambitions and resolutely support the decision-makers' choices. They said that no matter what path they take, no matter what choices the family makes, as long as they can get out of here in the future and make the family prosperous, brilliant, and dominate the world, any means are acceptable!"
"However—" The head of the Zhang family changed his tone here, "Those with lower cultivation levels, especially the old, weak, women, and children, do not seem to have great ambitions.
In order to prevent them from being indiscreet, we did not say too much, we only probed a portion of the people, half of whom remained silent, and the rest were unwilling."
"The situation in our two families is roughly the same. After all, the family is too large, with hundreds of thousands of members. There are always some people who are not united and question the wise decisions of the decision-makers.
However, those people are either old and weak or young people with low cultivation levels, and they can be abandoned at any time."
The Eternal Saint Realm experts of the three clans nodded after hearing this, "They should be abandoned. Once that path is decided, those people must be abandoned! Although they understand it vaguely, we cannot take this risk.
Since they are no longer of one mind with the family, it is useless to keep such people. Find a time to deal with them as soon as possible, so as not to leak the news and cause complications."
"What you said makes sense. This matter must be extremely careful and cautious. Before we contact that side and receive a clear response and support, not a word can be leaked out, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. The Lower Realm Alliance alone will not let us go!"
"Ancient Ancestor, do you mean to kill them all?"
The three family heads changed their expressions slightly. Although they were ruthless and had done many things in their lives by any means to achieve their goals, their eyes still twitched fiercely when they heard the ancient ancestors say this.
Originally, they planned to deal with those who were secretly inquiring about this secret in the family, but they did not expect the ancient ancestors to be so ruthless, actually wanting to kill all of those people.
You must know that the number of those people is very large. After all, the proportion of members above the backbone of the family is still relatively small, only tens of thousands, less than one-tenth of the entire family population.
The remaining family members, even if only those who express unwillingness are killed, there would still be two to three hundred thousand!
"Great achievements are not bound by trivial matters, but they are just some useless people." The ancient ancestors of the three clans had indifferent expressions, "Back then, when our ancestors established the family, there were only a few hundred people, and it did not take long for them to develop to a scale of hundreds of thousands.
In the future, we only want useful people who are absolutely loyal to the family. Those people are just a burden to the family.
This era is different from the past. Extraordinary times require extraordinary treatment. The family's future prosperity is the top priority! For this goal, anyone who may undermine the beautiful vision must be eliminated!"
"Understood, ancient ancestors, rest assured, before dawn tomorrow, we will make them disappear collectively! In order not to arouse suspicion, after all, a large number of people are missing, we have to close the family during this period.
The industries in the city will also be suspended. It just so happens that something happened with that Jun fellow during the day, and the world may think of the reason in this direction, and they will not suspect anything in a short time!"
"Well, let's do it this way." The ancient ancestors of the three great families nodded in agreement, and then their eyes were extremely cold, and they said in a cold voice: "Our three great families have established families among the numerous sects in the Upper Realm and passed them down to this day.
Throughout the ages, even though many of the native forces in the Upper Realm have been排挤targeting us, they have still failed to do anything to us.
We have overcome so many great storms and waves over this long period of time, but we never expected to lose face and prestige today!
That Jun fellow, treating our three great families like this, he will pay the price!"
"Hmph, once we establish contact with that person, it will be the death of that Jun fellow! That person will never allow someone like him to continue to grow!"
"Ancient ancestors, we must not make it too easy for that Jun fellow at that time. Do not kill him directly. We must torture him well and let him taste the methods of our three great families!"
The three family heads said this, all gritting their teeth, filled with滔天hatred.
Today's scene is still vivid in their minds. What a humiliation it was!
In their own clan's territory, they were actually oppressed by that Jun fellow and forced to kneel on the ground, crawling. For a family head, for the strong men of the family, this is the奇耻大辱greatest shame in life!
It can be tolerated, but what cannot be tolerated!
If such仇hatred cannot be avenged, how can the flaws in their hearts be removed? How can they progress on the path of cultivation in the future? How can the three great families gain a foothold in the world in the future?
"If he falls into the hands of this ancestor and others, he will not be able to live or die! Thinking that he is天下无敌invincible by relying on that female powerhouse to support him is really a joke!
You must know that this era is different. This is the most鼎盛prosperous盛世golden age in ancient times. The强者strong men who have been蛰伏lying dormant in the past will all appear in this era!"
"Well, don't think about this matter. Since we have made that choice, that Jun fellow will fall into our hands sooner or later. This is a注定destined结局ending, there will be no悬念suspense.
Now, let's take out our respective things and try to contact that person together. Back then, he secretly left this thing in the禁地forbidden areas of our three great families and left a word. We have never replied for so many years. I don't know if we can still contact him…"
"Let's try it. After all, he is a来自from the黑暗darkness强者strong man, and we cannot measure him with常理common sense. Maybe we can really contact him.
If it were in other eras, it would be hard to say, but this大世great era is different. After all, in the大世great era预言prophecy,黑暗darkness is one of the主角protagonists.
They must also be preparing in this era. Perhaps, they did that back then in order to开花结果bear fruit in this era."
The Eternal Realm experts of the three great families each took out a small box, as black as ink, only half a palm size, square, with complex patterns carved on it that were difficult to辨认distinguish.
There was no诡异weird气息aura弥漫permeating, only the特有unique气息aura from黑暗dark energy,带带着嗜血with嗜血bloodthirst,暴戾violence,阴冷coldness, making people感到浑身发寒feel chills all over,身心皆颤body and mind trembling.
"You three get out."
The ancient ancestors of the three great families吩咐instructed the three family heads. After all, the盒子boxes in their hands were来自from a黑暗darkness强者strong man, a极极其强大extremely powerful黑暗darkness强者strong man,强强大to come to their禁地forbidden areas如履平地as if walking on flat ground, like walking in his own后花园back garden, and the强者strong men of their three great families have never丝毫觉察noticed丝毫觉察slightest awareness.
This is very可怕terrifying.
They can肯定confirm that that位that黑暗darkness强者strong man is a巨头giant, and恐怕probably拔尖outstanding among巨头giants, after all,来自from黑暗darkness, the修炼的黑暗真气practiced darkness真气true Qi has a压制压制effect on the修行者cultivators of the明宇宙Ming Universe.
After only the ancient ancestors of the three great ancient families remained in the古老ancient大殿grand hall, they began to往towards the黑色black盒子boxes里面inside输入injecting能量energy, and使用using法则laws渗透penetrating进去inside.
渐渐地gradually, the黑色black盒子boxes发出emitted墨色ink-colored光芒light,轻轻颤动slightly trembling了起来了起来.
随即immediately, 盒盖the盒盖box lids墨色ink-colored光芒light之中within开启opened, 里面inside各自飞出each飞出flew out一块a宛若as if残缺incomplete黑玉般black jade般like的东西thing.
三块黑玉The three pieces of black jade聚拢gathered,而后and then严丝合缝perfectly joined地组成了to form了完整the complete玉jade.
那黑玉That black jade突然suddenly绽放burst forth出炽烈with炽烈blazing黑光black light,使得making空间space都扭曲了all扭曲distorted了.
Gradually, a humanoid mass of black mist appeared within, its entire body seemingly ablaze with black flames.
"Hmm, how many years has it been? You three great aristocratic families have finally seen the light?"
A voice from within the humanoid black mist transmitted through the abyss-like black light screen.
"Greetings, Great One from the magnificent Dark World!"
The ancient ancestors of the three great aristocratic families adopted a very humble posture, all hunching their chests and lowering their heads. "We have walked down the wrong path, failing to choose to believe in the great and ever-victorious Darkness in the past!
Now, we are willing to serve under the command of the great Darkness, dedicating ourselves to the cause of Darkness until our dying breaths!"
As the ancient ancestors of the three great aristocratic families spoke, they all knelt on one knee, their faces full of piety, their bodies trembling slightly.
