At an unknown location within the Azure Wind Mountain Sect.
Dream Shatter Ancestor, Devil Ancestor, Demon Ancestor, and Blood Ancestor were sitting in a luxurious hall around a table filled with exquisite and aromatic Qi fruits. Just their scent, which was filled with Qi, was enough to make any old mortal rejuvenate into youth.
However, the four were looking at two newcomers present at that table with different expressions on their faces.
One was a veiled woman with an enthralling figure and queen-like air, but her eyes were filled with grievance and hatred.
While the other was an old man with purple scales covering his skin and three horns over his bald head, while his eyes were yellowish with a dark slit between them. But he looked quite apprehensive as he gazed at those three most powerful ancestors as if he was watching ghosts sitting in front of him.
They were none other than the Elven Queen and the Beast Ancestor!
Both of them came to the Azure Wind Continent with their own motives and grandeur. Especially the elves, who had brought almost all of their armies as if they were going to war.
The reason for the elves' madness was very simple; a human had not only infiltrated the elven holy lands, he even managed to take everything while in the process destroying the Sacred Holy Tower. Moreover, in the process of doing all this, he even destroyed their ancestral palace and half of the city!
So, the elevens would not sit still after so much damage had been done to their homeland, and the biggest blow to them was the Holy Tower's destruction. That was the way for the elves to reach the top, yet it got destroyed right under their noses.
It was akin to cutting off their entire race's lifeline. The humiliation they suffered after not finding the perpetrator was even more embarrassing, and they even lost their revered Crown Princess.
While the Beast Ancestor and his armies were tagging along for another different reason entirely in the pretext of lending a hand to the Elves so they could get justice.
The appearance of the Beast Ancestor gave the elves even more courage despite the fact that they have a wariness about the Demon Armies present in the Azure Wind Continent and some of Devil Race's top fleets.
At that time, the Beast Ancestor's offering his help made the Elven Queen quite a surprise, but she took it without hesitation.
But to both of their surprise, not only demon fleets didn't stop their advance. They even escorted them toward the shores.
Yet what was waiting for them was Dream Shatter with his other three esteemed guests.
When the Beast Ancestor saw the appearances of the three guests, he almost had a stroke and wanted to run away, but alas, it was too late.
Although the elves were ignorant about the true identities of those three terrifying entities, heck, they didn't even know about the Beast Ancestor's true identity.
So, they were ready to attack, but at the last minute, Beast Ancestor made them stand down with everything he had. He even subdued the furious Elven Queen, which made the latter even more shocked since she thought the Beast Ancestor was of the same generation as her.
Only after she calmed down did the Beast Ancestor tell her about the true identities of those three, and she was the same as the Beast Ancestor was scared of her wits. That's how these two ended up here!
"Old vermin, I must say you are really trenchers and refuse to join your old pals in graves." Devil Ancestor, Edward coldly threw a remark at this moment.
"Just how?" Beast Ancestor didn't mind Edward's words as he questioned with confusion.
The veiled Blood Ancestor, Margret, replied at this moment with an impish tone, "What do you mean how? Do you think you are the only one who knows how to preserve your lifespan? You must think that we are all dead, and it is your time to rise. But guess what, we are still alive and kicking and doing a far more good job at it than you."
Elven Queen's eyes shimmered in shock as she couldn't help but speak at this moment, "Is he also an old Ancestor like you three?"
"Ah, I almost forget there is a junior among us today. Little elf, your race was once under our Devil Race's protection, and I know your Ancestral Mother. She was one of my maids. So, I'll give her face and tell you one thing." Edward pulled a devilish smile, showing his sharp fangs and a thick bloodlust suddenly filled the room, which made the Elven Queen shudder despite her Law Awareness Cultivation Realm.
She felt like she was in front of an ancient monster who was about to eat her, and all that superior air around her vanished, and what was left was a little helpless girl.
Edward uttered coldly, "You are not qualified to speak when we Seniors are talking until you were given permission to, or I don't mind collecting some old debt from your race who betrayed their master!"
As his words trailed off, that ghastly bloodlust finally vanished without a trace, and Elven Queen's back was now filled with sweat as she pants to catch her breath.
She never thought the old monster from the Devil Race was this terrifying, and in front of him, she won't even last for a second.
"Hmph, tell me, what do you want?" Beast Ancestor had a very ugly expression on his face when he felt Edward's aura was just as powerful as he remembered it to be. He wanted to curse the Grim Ancestor for putting him into this sort of situation.
Yes, he was here because the Grim Ancestor told him to be here when he came back so they both could snatch away Alina from them and use her to draw Ace into their side.
However, forget about snatching her, the Beast Ancestor would be lucky to just escape alive from those three monsters sitting there, and he also knew Dream Shatter wasn't some run-of-the-mill like the Elven Queen either.
So, his only choice was to comply with their demands, or he might find himself in the same situation as the Grim Ancestor.
As someone who lived for a very long time, he was afraid of dying even more.
Demon Ancestor Albert spoke in a hurried tone, "We don't know why you are here, and we don't care, truthfully. But whatever you are here for can be given to you as long as you sign a short-term soul contract with us, and once its conditions would complete, we'll help you get that thing as long as it is not aligned with our own agendas.
"As for you, Elf Queen or whatnot, we don't care about your grudge with the humans and also know why you are here. But we are happy to lend you a hand. Dream Shatter here will not hinder your search for whoever you think took your treasures, but you can't harm the humans unless you have proof.
"In return, you have to guard one place in the Azure Wind Mountain until we all return. If you can do that, sign the soul contract, and your elf race can start the search.
"Now, both of you chose or trust me; unlike these two, I'm in a very much hurry, and you two are hindrances in my way, which I will do anything and every to eliminate. Even this old devil won't dare to face me when I'm in this sort of mood!"
Albert's dark eyes shone with killing intent as he looked at both of the newcomers.
While Edward merely grunted coldly, Margret snickered playfully, and Dream Shatter remained expressionless all this time as he watched everything unfold like a spectator.
However, no one disagreed with Albert's terms given to the both of them, which meant they agreed with him, and this was nothing but grave news for Elven Queen and the Beast Ancestor!
