Chapter 171: Last words 4

171- Last words 4

When the group entered the room, the first thing that caught their eyes were the numerous words inscribed on the wall.

.

My name is Bindu Katan and I am the 30th clan head of Katan clan. My clan had a history of more than 3000 years and it was established by our ancestor who had reached the Duke level of cultivation.

Having such a cultivation level was a rare existence in the Pagero continent and it still is in my time. But unfortunately, my ancestor could not reach the next level of cultivation and his life span was coming to an end.

So, to continue his legacy and to protect the clan that he had painstakingly established; he decided to adopt some drastic measures.

So, he sacrificed his remaining life and condensed a Martial Art Symbol with his soul and left it as an important inheritance for the future generations. And before his death, he left a test and whoever could pass it will be able to gain it. Our Ancestor hoped that when an extremely talented genius appears in the clan, he should inherit this Martial Art Symbol.

But heavens played tricks on our clan.

After Ancestors death, many of clans talented disciples took the test but no one was able to pass it.

The difficulty of the test was so high that in the 3000 years of clans history, no one was able to complete even 80% of the test. And as the main inheritance was locked and the remaining inheritance was stolen by traitors and enemies, the clans situation started worsening. As the resources decreased, the strength of the clan decreased at an alarming rate. And finally, the strongest in our clan had only cultivation of peak of the General stage.

Due to this, internal conflicts started appearing. Few people, wanted to use the help of others to get the inheritance and improve the clans situation, while others were against it. There were even few selfish and spineless people, who thought of enticing and gifting the inheritance to big powers on the Pagero continent.

And the worst situation finally happened, a member of our clan who was greedy for power and wealth, leaked the news of the inheritance to a major sect that was one of the top powers on Pagero continent. After he delivered the news to that power, he was promised riches, power, respect, etc.

So, one dark night, the traitor led the wolf into the sheep's den. My clan was attacked by that power and most of our clansmen were slaughtered and they were not even able to put up any resistance, as our strength was not worth mentioning in front of that power.

After most of the clansmen were dead, the killers arrested few core people of the clan and wanted to forcefully snatch the inheritance from the ancestorial sacred grounds.

Finally, under their relentless attacks, they successfully broke through.

But our ancestor had already taken precautions against it, so he set such an array that if anyone tries to forcibly snatch the inheritance and does not possess clans blood, then the whole ancestorial sacred ground will explode.

So, after the killers broke into the ancestorial sacred grounds, they tried to take away the inheritance but the trap set by the ancestor got activated and most of the killers got killed except for some strong ones whose cultivation reached a horrifying level.

But after the explosion, the remnant strong killers were enraged on the deaths of people who accompanied them, so they wanted to kill off the remaining clansmen to avenge their deaths. And just when we thought that our clan is going to be exterminated, we found that the Ancestor had left a remnant soul fragment which awakened as soon as the ancestorial sacred ground is destroyed.

Just when we thought our clan was saved, heavens once again played a cruel trick.

As it was only a remnant soul fragment of the Ancestor, it cannot stay for a long period of time and would soon dissipate. Knowing this, the enemies quickly tried to exhaust the ancestors soul. And even the ancestor was aware of this fact and he knew the clan cannot be saved. So, to save the clans bloodline, Ancestor decided to save some of the clansmen.

So, Ancestor secretly instructed few members of the clan to escape while he uses his full strength to stop the enemies and to help the ancestor in delaying the enemies, few clan members decided to sacrifice themselves.

And in the group of people who were ordered to escape, I was also a part of it.

So, when ancestor gave the signal, few clan members hurriedly escaped in a random direction. But before escaping, Ancestor secretly passed on a part of the inheritance to each of them.

I am the daughter of the previous clan leader, and before my father died, he passed me the position of clan head. And I was also the most talented person in my clan as I was able to step into the Royalty realm at the age of 16 years. And within 5 years, I was able to step into the General stage. And one must remember that as a clan leader, I had to divert most of my time to look after clan matters, and also my clan had very few resources. Reaching my stage, with those conditions, I was praised by many.

So, from the ancestor, I received 2 important inheritances. Before I escaped, he secretly told me that the two important inheritance that he is passing on to me must be kept secret as it the most powerful techniques that he depended on to reach the peak of his life.

Ancestor and other clansmen sacrificed their lives for delaying the enemies so that we could escape.

I was extremely heartbroken but I had to escape without looking back, but I swore that I would make the attackers pay a heavy price for attacking and destroying my clan. My will to become stronger was strengthened.

But it looked like, Heavens were still not happy with the outcome.

And I was still chased by people who belonged to the power that destroyed my clan.

Every time I was chased, I would suffer some injuries and before I could recover, I would be chase again. And like that, I was chased for two whole years and my injuries increased. My cultivation did not progress and the foundation was damaged. Only a legendary healing elixir could heal me, but I knew that neither I had the luck to find that type of thing, nor my enemies or injuries will hold on till I find elixirs. And I knew, that my body was going to give up any time.
