Chapter 168: Chapter 168
"Alright, little friend Adam. Let’s deal with the corpses, we shouldn’t stay here long!" Lucian gave Adam a profound look.
He had a guess in his heart, it was probably that Jade Auspicious Scepter.
But he didn’t voice it because he knew Erlang Shen’s vertical eye possessed a grand divine ability, he might still be watching them.
"Alright!" Adam nodded.
The two quickly cleaned up the corpses, stripping them of every single item of value.
Then they departed.
Not long after the two left, a gaze shooting down from the Heavens was finally slowly withdrawn.
...
The Heavenly Void Mystic Realm.
Within the ancestral hall of the Imperial Clan.
Five soul lamps quickly extinguished one after another, giving the guarding sentry a massive fright, his soul was nearly scared right out of his body.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at those soul lamps in absolute disbelief.
That was the area where the soul lamps of the clan’s Dao Childs were kept.
"Jason, Luke, Connor... and... Jo... Jo... John!"
This time, the guard’s soul truly left his body.
That was John.
The previous strongest Dao Child, although he had recently been replaced.
But the person who replaced him was the Dao Body Holy Fetus, someone with the aptitude to potentially become a Great Emperor.
Furthermore, John possessed the Double-Pupil Holy Body, a physique practically invincible in this world, his strength was extraordinary.
In that Mysterious Yellow Great World where Deities could not emerge, how could he possibly perish?
Although John’s status was slightly lower than before, he was still a core Dao Child, highly valued by the Imperial Clan.
Now that his soul lamp had extinguished, the guard didn’t dare imagine the thunderous wrath the Clan Head and elders would unleash.
Gulp!
He swallowed hard, should I just run for my life right now?
Maybe then he’d have a sliver of hope. If he went in to report this news, he would definitely be slapped to death right there in the grand hall.
I never should have taken this job, I knew a day like this would come.
After a violent internal struggle, he stumbled out of the ancestral hall trembling, spotting the nearest clan member, he immediately pretended to trip and fall right in front of him.
Then, weeping bitterly, he cried out, "Senior Brother! Senior Brother, quickly, go inform the Clan Head! Senior Brother John... John’s soul lamp has extinguished!"
Without thinking twice, the clan member shot into the sky and rushed toward the grand hall.
Watching him leave, a wicked smile crept onto the guard’s face.
Let a fellow Daoist die instead of this poor Daoist! Don’t blame me!
Soon after, a group of people aggressively descended in front of him.
"C-Clan Head..." the guard saluted, trembling uncontrollably.
"What happened?" Damion’s face was terrifyingly cold.
"Clan Head, I was guarding the soul lamps just fine, and then Senior Brother John’s lamp suddenly extinguished without the slightest warning!" the guard stammered, not daring to breathe loudly.
He felt deeply aggrieved, I already got someone else to report it, so why did these big shots still come looking for me?!
"Impossible! John possesses the Double-Pupil Holy Body! Once his Eyes of Destruction are opened, even Deities at the Third or Fourth Heaven might not defeat him!" Terrifying coercion rose from Damion’s body.
The guard immediately dropped to his knees, burying his head into the ground.
"Clan Head, every word your subordinate spoke is the absolute truth! I wouldn’t dare hide or deceive you!"
Standing off to the side, Silas was filled with shock.
He had stayed at the Nova Clan specifically waiting for the good news of capturing the Innate Dao Body.
Instead, he heard such explosive news.
That was the Double-Pupil Holy Body.
If his own clan had produced such a genius, he would have pampered him to the heavens. Yet he had actually fallen.
Just what kind of demons and monsters were hiding in the Vast Azure Region?
However... why did he suddenly feel a lot better inside?
"Nonsense! It’s impossible for John to die without warning, since you refuse to tell the truth, you can go accompany him!"
Damion threw a punch, and the guard instantly exploded into mist, dying as thoroughly as one could die.
Watching this scene, Silas was stunned, why does this feel so familiar? I think I did the exact same thing recently.
Guarding soul lamps is indeed a hazardous profession.
The group flew into the ancestral hall.
Silas waited outside, since it was the Nova Clan’s private grounds, he couldn’t enter. But hearing the furious roars from within, he knew the news was undoubtedly true.
Creak!
The doors were pushed open, and Damion’s face was frightfully gloomy.
"Daoist Silas, it was my carelessness. I should have listened to your advice and dispatched more experts, capturing the Innate Dao Body needs to be carefully reconsidered."
"Clan Head Damion, my condolences. Please don’t say that. It was I who did not explain the situation clearly," Silas naturally couldn’t act smug, hurriedly lowering his head to reply.
"Come to the meeting hall. I placed a restriction on John that allows me to see the moments before his death. I want to see exactly who has the audacity to kill a disciple of my Nova Clan!" Damion coldly snorted, and the ground beneath his feet shattered into powder.
Back at the Sword Sect.
Lucian went to handle the sect’s post-battle affairs.
After comforting Cecilia for a while, Adam also departed.
The Sword Sect had a hundred things to rebuild, and staying wouldn’t help, what he needed was to quickly elevate his own strength.
Not only were the Ancient Ash Clan and the Nova Imperial Clan after him, but now Erlang Shen had been added to the mix, and potentially the entire Heavenly Court.
Just thinking about it made the pressure mount like a mountain.
Although the token the sloppy old Daoist gave him made Erlang Shen temporarily drop his suspicions, what if he found out later? What would he do then?
That was a Saint Realm expert, he himself wasn’t even a Heaven and Earth Deity yet.
Strength!
It all comes down to strength!
