Becoming An Ancestor In Another World From This Day On

Chapter 219: Innumerable

It was also said that the Nicholas family had actually been hiding their strength, and that in fact, many Great Magi and Great Archmagi had secretly gone out to attack the Mu Guang Pavilion.

The outside world had been abuzz with the news about the Mu Guang Pavilion, but the Nicholas family clan remained quiet as if they were cut off from the world.

It was impossible for outsiders to know that the entire Nicholas family clan was currently immersed in cultivation and could not extricate themselves.

After the news of the annihilation of the Mu Guang Pavilion had spread, the people of Winterfrost were especially lively in their chatter as it involved the Nicholas family clan.

In the Holy Light City, the intensity of the public debate was also any lower.

Although no one in the Holy Light City had a feud with the Mu Guang Pavilion, someone had a feud with the Nicholas family.

Although the four large family clans of the Holy Light City had been quiet ever since the ancestral grave explosion, people had been paying attention and speculating about the four family clans.

Especially recently, the various troublesome things that had happened to the four large family clans had also caused discussions from time to time.

However, everyone was just watching the show or watching the troubles of the four families.

Over the past days, the situation of the four large family clans in the Holy Light City had been really tragic. Almost nothing good happened to them, not to mention that their family businesses were frequently in trouble.

Their clansmen who were working outside were also involved in frequent accidents. Even those who were cultivating at home had problems from time to time, and some of them had even gone berserk in their cultivation.

The bad luck of the four family clans had made many people believe and see that the favor of the heavens above actually existed.

It could not be due to such a coincidence that things happened to the four large family clans after their ancestral graves had been blown up. It must have been caused by the destruction of the favor from the heavens!

In the eyes of outsiders, the four large family clans had been quiet recently. They seemed to be busy cleaning up their own mess and had no time to deal with the Nicholas family clan.

No one knew that the four large family clans had actually, a long while ago, secretly colluded with and paid a huge sum of money to the Mu Guang Pavilion to deal with the Nicholas family clan.

Although someone had guessed this later, it was only a rumor. There was no evidence.

Now, after the news of the Mu Guang Pavilion had spread, the four large family clans of the Holy Light City did not make any overt move, but their family heads had secretly gathered together again.

In a secret room somewhere, four people were sitting opposite each other. Tea had been placed in front of them, but no one was in the mood to drink. The four of them looked a little gloomy, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

These four people were the family heads of the four large family clans in the Holy Light City. The old man in the gray robe was the head of the Adrian family, Moqi.

The old man in the yellow robe with narrow eyes was the head of the Jeffrey family, Frick.

The thin, white-haired old man in a black robe was the head of the Treis family, Zana.

The square-faced old man in white clothes and gray hair was the head of the Byron family, Rick.

It turned out that the four large family clans had not expected the Nicholas family clan to have developed to this extent. The few people who had come to provoke the Nicholas family clan previously were only a branch of the four large family clans.

“Is the matter of the Mu Guang Pavilion related to the Nicholas family clan?” Frick broke the silence.

Zana said, “Is the information impossible to verify? Has the Mu Guang Pavilion really been annihilated? I don’t believe it!”

Rick continued, “I don’t believe it either. Even if the Nicholas family really has an expert we don’t know about, is he powerful enough to exterminate all the experts above the Chiefs of the Mu Guang Pavilion, including the Pavilion Masters?”

Zana sneered and said, “If they had the strength, they would have long killed their way here and exterminated our four family clans.”

Moqi said in a low voice, “But those destroyed strongholds of the Mu Guang Pavilion and assassins are all real. I guess only the Chiefs and the Pavilion Masters are left in the Mu Guang Pavilion. Why haven’t they made any moves?”

He paused for a moment and continued, “I remember that the last time a similar situation happened was 150 years ago, when three halls of the Mu Guang Pavilion were successively exterminated by a team led by the Sasi Group of the Grand Dominance State. Then, the two Pavilion Masters of the Mu Guang Pavilion personally took action and killed everyone in the Sasi Group overnight, including eleven experts of the Great Archmange realm. This caused no one to dare to pursue the Mu Guang Pavilion for 50 years.”

For a moment after the other three had heard this, they fell silent. In their hearts, they all knew that it was definitely not normal for the upper echelons of the Mu Guang Pavilion to be missing and for them not to have any news. Even if they were not dead, they had gone into hiding, and they would not appear for a short period of time.

With a dark expression, Frick said, “This must have something to do with the Nicholas family!”

They knew more than outsiders. For example, there should have been two other Chiefs who had gone to deal with the Nicholas family clan, in addition to the one who had been exposed. Where were the other two Chiefs and the many subordinates? Why was there no news at all?

Could it be… that they had all been dealt with secretly when they went to deal with the Nicholas family clan?!

Thinking of this possibility, the four of them could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Impossible, impossible! The Nicholas family clan could not be so powerful!!

Something must have happened in between! Zana said in a low voice, “It is said that everyone in the Nicholas family has been cultivating in seclusion during this period. What does this mean?”

Rick sneered and said, “I think they’re afraid of the Mu Guang Pavilion’s revenge! Perhaps the Chiefs and Pavilion Masters of the Mu Guang Pavilion are just hiding temporarily. They might attack the Nicholas family clan at any moment!”

If this was really the case, it would be great. However, while everyone else had this thought in their hearts, they also understood that this was unlikely.

Moqi said, “Are we going to let the Nicholas family continue to rise up?”

Zana’s eyes revealed a hint of helplessness. “What else can we do? Even the Mu Guang Pavilion has been defeated. Do you think any other assassin organization would dare to take on this mission?”

Moqi snorted. “There will be people willing to work for their lives if the remuneration is enough.”

“We might not necessarily have to find an assassin,” Rick said. “Actually, we’re not the only ones who don’t want to see the rise of the Nicholas family.”

The eyes of the others lit up when they heard this, and they immediately understood what he meant. Moqi asked, “Who are you referring to?”

Frick said, “However, they may not be willing or dare to deal with the Nicholas family now, right?”

“How would we know if we don’t give it a try?” Rick sneered. “At least, we can’t let the Nicholas family live too comfortably. It’s good to probe them more.”

The other three nodded slightly. Frick said, “Alright! Let’s do this!”

When the four large family clans of the Holy Light City were scheming behind their backs, on the Nicholas family’s side, the effect of the entire family clan’s cheat cultivation was gradually showing.

One month after the 100-day seclusion had begun, Norton, the current head of the Nicholas family clan, had successfully broken through the bottleneck and advanced to the level of a Great Archmage!!

Half a month later, Zoro had advanced to the realm of the Great Archmage! In a few days, Dick had also advanced to the realm of the Great Archmage! After that, Jimmy, Charles, Kathleen, and the others also followed suit.

One after another, they advanced to the Great Archmage realm!!
