Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Azure Cloud Betrayal
Ethan was sitting on the bed, staring at the game interface with a look of madness following his anger. The family had temporarily abandoned their residence in Forest Town, which had been developed over nearly a century.
At that time, Nathan's idea was to take the entire Blackwood family out for revenge. Getting involved with the Azure Cloud Pavilion meant that their residence became an obvious target. No matter the protective spells, once Blackwood was surrounded, it truly became a sitting duck.
Of course, abandoning the residence had its downsides; resources couldn't be produced, and the wealth accumulated by Blackwood over the years couldn't be rapidly developed.
Ethan knew very well that the best way to handle this situation was similar to how they dealt with Nathan's severe injury years ago—turn a blind eye now and plan revenge over centuries, letting Elizabeth and old Felix die off could also be an option.
Under his leadership, Blackwood, with resources from two worlds, was bound to thrive.
But...
The fake Forebearer endured humiliation for the greater good, while the real Forebearer could feel the sincere emotions of his descendants. For the important people in his family, if he couldn't exact an unbearable revenge on the opponent, he swore he wouldn't rest!
To hell with the resources.
To hell with the memories of Cloudview County.
To hell with the Spiritual Tribute and Energy Stones.
Those bastards had messed with a family full of vigor and a Forebearer with authority overhead!
...
Soon, Ethan opened the map.
[Cloudview County]
The descendants of Blackwood were scattered everywhere, flourishing in various places.
The only group gathered was slowly heading towards [Cloudview County].
[Your descendant Nathan, along with others, is heading to Cloudview County incognito, always ready to receive any information on Elizabeth from Azure Cloud Pavilion being alone, to avenge the Boar Monarch Pete!]
Even in their quest for revenge, the people of Blackwood were not reckless.
They were waiting for the perfect moment and were prepared for the worst.
But the first wave of Blackwood's retaliation had already begun.
Ethan zoomed in on the map, clicking on the two closest white dots near Azure Cloud Pavilion.
[Azure Cloud Pavilion Back Mountain·Ancestral Burial Site]
Two game characters were seen under a large mountain, one holding a disc, looking at the inner sphere to find direction.
"Big brother, are you sure you want to dig up the ancestral graves of Azure Cloud Pavilion's forefathers?"
The exceptional psychic equipment that Blackwood had used to break the Rodriguez family's formation, the Array-Destroying Mystic Ability Disc, had somehow ended up in William's hands, which was also why he could easily enter Blackwood.
George looked serious, "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be able to exert any strength in the early stages of my Emerging Ability. There must be many treasures in the Azure Cloud Pavilion's ancestral graves."
"Once I hide them all, let the elders see the wealth I've accumulated. That'll show them, huh!"
William didn't stop him, knowing his big brother was definitely a bit off, "Alright, I'll find the path first, but be careful, big brother."
Hearing this.
George frowned, "Aren't you digging with me?"
"For some reason, whenever big brother walks in front of me, I always feel like stabbing him in the lower back."
William grinned, "Besides, I have my own things to do."
He looked towards the inner gates of Qingyun.
After parting with George, he walked to a distant part of Qingyun Gate, soared into the sky with his sword, took out a thumb-sized porcelain bottle, and poured the blue liquid inside into his mouth. His psychic abilities erupted instantly!
"Boom!"
In an instant, a blood mist spread around him, his body riddled with holes, tilting as he fell towards the direction of Qingyun Gate, barely alive.
But his eyes were white, and he was still muttering.
"I am a Blackwood traitor, I know where the people of Blackwood are, they are scattered, to avenge the Boar Monarch Pete..."
"Blackwood is so unfair, I've been bullied since I was a child, enduring endless humiliation. From old to young, all Blackwoods are my enemies, my hatred grew during the days they imprisoned me, not killing them all would not quench my resentment..."
"The people of Blackwood are very cunning, I know valuable information, the assassin organization Dawn in Cloudview County, is Blackwood's force. Besides that, Blackwood has no other trump cards."
"If big brother wants to kill me, please ask Azure Cloud Pavilion to help me take revenge..."
A flood of memories entered his mind.
"Bang!"
With a loud explosion, a dying young man smashed into the ground in front of Qingyun Gate, creating a deep pit and stirring up dust, finally catching the attention of the guards at Qingyun Gate.
...
George was busy digging up the first ancestral grave at Azure Cloud Pavilion, getting the hang of grave robbing.
[Warning, William is critically injured and near death, please use your skills to heal him immediately.]
[Your descendant William drank the soul-cleansing liquid he got from Amelia, and even as he was dying, he still hypnotized himself. He was taken back by the guards of Azure Cloud Pavilion, and a master of Emerging Ability used his powers to sustain William's life...]
Ethan gasped at the brothers' antics; no wonder they ended up together.
George was digging up graves, and William was not only ruthless when it came to killing others, but he was also harsh on himself. That self-destruction move he pulled could have easily been the end of him, not to mention crashing into the ground while critically injured.
Ethan didn't bother to keep tabs on them after that.
George was safe enough digging graves. As for William, given his tactics, Ethan figured the guy's most likely cause of death would be his own reckless actions. Since he dared to infiltrate Azure Cloud Pavilion like that, he must have been pretty confident about his undercover work.
The scene shifted.
As time sped up.
The older generation of Blackwood had already arrived at a small courtyard.
[Cloudview County·Benevolent Tea House]
It was a small room, and as soon as Nathan and his wife, along with the brothers Lucas and Julian, and Daniel walked in, they saw Olivia.
In an instant, three generations of five people had tears in their eyes.
The Olivia they saw was a far cry from the charming woman who had left home.
