Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Let me out
The children of the fourth generation felt the pain of growing up for the first time.
Their seven ancestors, who in their day could even enforce absurd rules like 'no relieving oneself in the outhouse', should have been more childish than them.
Now, they should be raising their voices, questioning loudly why they were crying and whining here, and ideally, kicking them so hard against the wall they couldn't be scraped off.
For the first time.
They began to miss this feeling.
But now.
The third generation of Blackwoods just stood quietly, their faces covered in demonic tattoos, their eyes blood-red.
Their forebears had finally become the responsible, mature figures they had hoped for in their childhood, not cursing or noisy, but quiet. Sometimes, the things hoped for in childhood turn out to be truly naive; their forebears had endured much more.
"Dad, uncle, uncle!"
The children of the fourth generation called out again, and this time the third generation of Blackwoods managed a strained smile.
Olivia seemed to notice the children's plight; with a gentle wave of her hand, the children were up. Olivia smiled and said, "Alright, with your great-aunt here, they'll be fine."
"Mm!"
Everyone nodded slightly.
"You demons, you are all demons!!!"
The pinned Medicine Fairy finally shouted out loud; she realized that these Blackwood people never cared whether their family was possessed or not, they only cared about whether they could invade peaceful places like the Valley of Healers and kill her good disciples!
In the midst of her howling, he saw a glint in Lucas's eyes in the distance, and the sword in front of him growing larger.
Then came endless pain.
"Ah!!!"
Lucas was literally flaying her with his sword!
No one paid attention to Carolyn's screams; the Blackwoods gathered together, still remembering the Forebearer's words—the sad should be the enemy, the pained should also be the enemy, not them.
They looked towards the distance, where Nathan, Elder Felix, and Elizabeth had fought before.
"I came back because I felt your presence."
As the head of the family, Nathan looked calmly towards the distance, "Amelia, thanks for bringing Drunken Fool here, he's very strong."
Amelia nodded slightly, "Even in a demon's den, Drunken Fool is a top expert."
A cold light flashed in Thomas's red eyes among the seven children, "Grandfather, are they... still alive?"
With this statement.
All eyes were on him.
They knew that as long as Olivia was willing, with the presence of the Forebearer and the current strength and control of the Blackwoods, eliminating Felix and Elizabeth without drawing attention would be a piece of cake!
But they were still gathered here because they wanted to avenge together, to fully repay the pain Blackwood had experienced!
"They're still alive."
Nathan said with a smile, voicing everyone's hopes.
They hoped their enemies were alive; if they died easily, that would be a great disrespect to the demon king!
The coffin of the direct death soared into the sky, gradually enlarging, becoming big enough to hold all the Blackwoods.
Nathan led his family onto the coffin, soaring into the sky.
It seemed as if the Blackwoods were bringing a coffin to their enemies on a cloud; the enemies would be forever trampled under the feet of the Blackwoods, their bodies tormented endlessly in a dark, sunless space.
"Ah!!" Inside the golden transparent barrier, Elder Felix was battered and disheveled, driven to madness. Before this, he could summon thousands of maple leaves with his Developing Skill, each leaf capable of slaying those at the peak of Emerging Ability!
But his once-prideful secret technique was now nothing but a delusion against Drunken Fool.
Drunken Fool took a swig of his drink and kicked out, his dirt-caked shoe flying off and leaving another print on Elder Felix's face, "You know, if you were really at your peak, with your strength and that mystical 'Dance of the Whirling Leaves' fused into your body, you could actually fight me for days."
This only drove Elder Felix further into madness. Behind him, his spiritual manifestation, a maple tree, was riddled with holes yet still swayed its branches, striking at Drunken Fool.
"Scum, you scum ruined my hopes!" Felix's fingers turned into silver claws, instantly reaching Drunken Fool's side, but Drunken Fool had already vanished from the spot, slowly putting on his shoe.
Drunken Fool frowned. Not only had Felix become mad, but Elizabeth was even crazier... Remembering his recent clash with Nathan, even he, a demonically possessed ability user, felt a chill.
In his memory, though he had only met Nathan a few times, he could tell Nathan was a genuinely kind and polite man, like a cultured, mature farmer.
But that guy, he was really ruthless.
Drunken Fool glanced at the distance; Elizabeth was still alive, sitting on a shuttle, her hair disheveled, her lower dress stained with blood. Her hands and face were covered in blood, especially... she was holding a bloody lump in her arms, crying and laughing, trembling all over, shouting, "My child, my child, the Lopez have someone again!"
This was Nathan's handiwork, a coffin that had forced Elizabeth's child out, making Drunken Fool, a two-hundred-year-old demonically possessed ability user, think Nathan was more suited to be a demon.
A single strike had driven two people mad, the only difference being one was real, the other fake.
"Let me out, I want to find Nathan, I want to find the Blackwood people!" Felix was howling, the leaves on the maple tree turning the sky golden.

"Do you really want to find the Blackwood people, Felix? I know you." Drunken Fool laughed, making Elder Felix's face change color, "Time hasn't made you a warrior; it's made you more dependent on the petty schemes of women. You're the type who will never go mad."
His voice was haunting.
"You're the type who likes to hide behind others. When you were young, you hid behind the poor woman Elizabeth, and when you got old, you hid behind the Sky Sect."
"Even when planning to assassinate Blackwood Marcus, you hid behind the unfortunate Rodriguez family. Even these years, though you're at the peak of Developing Skill, you dare not face Blackwood directly, still hiding with your partner in the Valley of Healers."
Drunken Fool's words seemed to stab at Elder Felix's heart, and even the mad Elizabeth's eyes flickered with a moment of clarity as he continued; "You're pretending to be mad in front of me, you coward, where else do you think you can hide?"
During this speech, he felt the Energy Stone in his crotch move, he raised an eyebrow, and suddenly opened the barrier of the premium ability device, spreading his hands, "Go on then, you wanted to escape, right? Oh, and don't think about running back to the Azure Cloud Pavilion. If they really could save you, they would have sent someone from such a close distance by now."
