Heaven Slaying Blade
Chapter 1757 - 1740: Ancient Ancestor of the Luoshui Family Escapes
The figure instantly disappeared in front of Chu Mo, without answering or saying anything extra. It just vanished like that.
Chu Mo scratched his head, then sighed. Even with his current realm, he still couldn't calculate all of this. Even though he now had the ability to instantly deduce countless things in the entire Tunnel world, he still couldn't explore the secrets behind that figure.
Afterward, Chu Mo walked back towards the royal clan. For now, he decided to set this matter aside. Since that figure had said that Bu Dong had lost his memory, there shouldn't be any issues.
However, on reflection, this matter was quite amusing. What kind of existence was Bu Dong?
An Observer... a Grand Ancestor!
Let's just call him a Grand Ancestor; after all, it's a superior entity that surpasses the Supreme.
Yet he had a chunk of his memory slapped away by someone, which was quite pathetic.
So, worldly beings truly cannot be too full of themselves. Thinking oneself strong when it's only that you haven't qualified to come into contact with something stronger.
......
Outside the Tunnel world, a white-clothed, golden-haired Bu Dong looked utterly bewildered at this moment.
If Chu Mo saw him, he couldn't help but laugh.
Because Bu Dong's eyes were filled with confusion and doubt, staring at the chaotic world ahead, muttering, "Why did I come here for no reason?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of disgust: "This kind of low-level world is utterly useless except for some larger ants! If it weren't for the fact that if such a place crumbled, it would cause a chain reaction in the entire body world of the ancient gods, it would've been better to destroy it once and for all. Now, every so often, it has to be cleared once. Hmm, now isn't the time for cleaning. Why are Xuanzi, the White, and the Red not here? Skipping work again! Looks like I'll have to report them when I get back!"
That figure's slap was truly terrifying, actually wiping so much of Bu Dong's memory. If Chu Mo could witness this scene himself, he would surely be astonished.
He didn't even remember that the White and the Red were already dead!
Moreover, there wasn't a trace of battle found here!
Quickly, Bu Dong's figure disappeared from this place.
......
The Tunnel world.
Chu Chu's grand wedding had been bustling for many days.
All the high-ranking figures in the entire Elite Alliance were present.
With so many people, the banquet couldn't possibly end anytime soon.
But Chu Mo, after seeing off those Supreme ancient ancestors, directly went into closed-door cultivation again.
Some things, if you're completely unaware, are indeed a kind of bliss. Once you know, you can't turn a blind eye.
This time, Chu Mo entered closed-door cultivation straight until the first millennium of the Heavenly Curtain Calendar.
The six Supreme ancient ancestors of the Luoshui Family once believed that Chu Mo would certainly come again before they could break out and make various arrangements.
At the very least, set up arrays to seal them for a few hundred more years.
But what they never expected was that Chu Mo never showed up. This made the six ancient ancestors feel both relieved and a bit annoyed, believing that Chu Mo completely disregarded them.
However, they did not act rashly, not rushing to settle scores with Chu Mo immediately. Over the thousand years, though sealed here, they weren't entirely ignorant of the outside world.
They were aware of Chu Mo achieving the Supreme status and being hailed as the King of the Tunnel. This fact they knew.
When Chu Mo was at the peak of the ancestral realm, his terrifying combat power was enough to challenge the Supreme directly. Now, having become Supreme, he stood at the same level as these ancient ancestors. They naturally did not dare to provoke Chu Mo lightly.
But they were also aware that this vendetta was still there. Sooner or later, it would erupt.
The six Supreme ancient ancestors breaking free was a significant event for the entire Luoshui Family. However, at this moment, everyone in the Luoshui Family felt very troubled. They were somewhat unsure of how to face these ancient ancestors.
Because of Luo Feihong, the Luoshui Family had almost completely leaned towards the Chu Clan royal family.
They always thought the six ancient ancestors couldn't possibly survive, so they never imagined that a thousand years later, the six ancient ancestors would indeed break free.
The oldest Supreme ancient ancestor of the Luoshui Family was named Luo Chuanqi.
At this moment, he sat at the head of the great hall, eyes coldly looking at the head of the Luoshui Family kneeling below. He calmly said, "Your previous choices were out of necessity, us being ancient ancestors are not to blame. However, now that we are free, the entire Luoshui Family cannot continue to stand on the side of the Chu Clan royal family. Your position as patriarch will be temporarily taken by me. I will act as this patriarch to avoid putting you in a difficult position."
The patriarch of the Luoshui Family knelt there, smiling wryly in his heart, but he had to express his gratitude under the circumstances: "Thank you, Ancestor, for your understanding."
"Hmm, now, you immediately notify all family members of elder rank or above to come here. I have something to announce," Luo Chuanqi said.
The patriarch of the Luoshui Family had no ability to resist and could only nod in agreement.
Soon afterward, a large number of members of the elder rank or higher from the Luoshui Family gathered here, and the number soon exceeded ten thousand!
The foundation of this family is exceedingly deep. The elders have accumulated it over generations, and in fact, their total number already exceeds a million.
However, among them, many elders are nearing the end of their life expectancy or are uncertain about surviving the epoch disaster safely. They have all sealed themselves up, becoming the essence that stabilizes the qi movement. Those who are still active in the world at elder-level and above number about two hundred thousand.
A few days later, over a hundred thousand gathered in the hall, which houses a small world inside!
After these people arrived here, they all remained silent, not understanding what the ancestors intended by gathering them here after coming out of seclusion.
Yet they were powerless to resist, nor did they dare to resist. Because there was only one outcome to resistance, and that was death.
However, not all of the Luoshui Family's members at elder-level and above thought this way. By now, at least a hundred seventy to eighty thousand should be present based on timing. Yet only tens of thousands were there.
This filled Luo Chuanqi's heart with dissatisfaction. He said coldly, "So, our Luoshui Family's elders are reduced to so few?"
The clan head helplessly stepped forward and said, "Ancestor, the rest have mostly joined the elite alliance…"
"Elite alliance…" Luo Chuanqi softly muttered, then a trace of ruthlessness flashed in those cold eyes. He said lightly, "The faction established by that little traitor of the family? Indeed, its existence is no longer necessary."
The other five Supreme Ancient Ancestors sitting beside all nodded in agreement.
The Luoshui Family's clan head suddenly had a foreboding feeling, looking up at the Supreme Ancient Ancestors.
He met Luo Chuanqi's cold, emotionless gaze: "You are all descendants of us six. Without us, where are you? Yet during our suffering and captivity, you committed acts of betrayal. Such disloyal, unfilial, inhumane, and unjust descendants have no reason to continue existing."
As he spoke, led by Luo Chuanqi, the other five Supreme Ancient Ancestors acted together, directly sealing off the entire small world hall!
Completely sealing these tens of thousands inside!
Outside, there were still elder-level Luoshui Family members arriving continuously, but these six Supreme Ancient Ancestors could wait no longer!
They had already calculated that Chu Mo would certainly come to settle accounts with them, and it would be soon, appearing right before them.
Therefore, they had to become stronger and enhance their blood energy before Chu Mo's arrival!
To achieve this, any great elixir has its limitations.
Only by refining this group of descendants, absorbing their blood energy and cultivation, was the quickest method!
Since the bloodline is the same, since the cultivation is also derived from them!
Same ancestry, same bloodline, same source!
Using it to enhance oneself couldn't be better!
The Luoshui Family's clan head was completely stunned, disbelief written all over his face, staring blankly at Luo Chuanqi, his eyes bloodshot as he said, "Ancestor... How is what you do any different from beasts?"
"Noisy."
Luo Chuanqi snapped coldly.
Then, the body of the Luoshui Family's clan head exploded directly. A stream of blood energy, combined with endless essence energy and all the cultivation, surged towards Luo Chuanqi like a torrent.
The other five Supreme Ancient Ancestors were unwilling to show weakness, all making their moves!
The targets they chose were the strongest, the ones with the highest cultivation, the most abundant blood energy, the ones with the strongest cultivation!
For a moment, desperate roars, howls, and screams echoed throughout the hall.
But the entire hall had already been jointly sealed by these six Supreme Ancient Ancestors, so none of the sounds within could reach outside.
Outside, people naturally couldn't imagine what was happening inside.
The Luoshui Family elders who arrived afterward, one by one looked bewildered, all wondering why they were summoned back. But the hall was sealed, blocking them outside?
Some were even slightly dissatisfied, complaining, "The ancestors escaped from captivity, and the first thing they did was summon us here, only for us to watch them go into seclusion?"
"No, not seclusion, more than a hundred thousand have already gone inside." An elder said.
"Is it anger then? Do they think we're late?" Someone wondered.
However, ultimately, someone speculated, "Could it be... the ancestors are refining and absorbing those people's blood energy?"
"Impossible!"
"How could the ancestors do such a thing?"
"Do you think our Luoshui Family's ancient clan is like those old undead from the Cold Ice Family?"
There were many rebuttals, all believing their ancestors couldn't possibly do such a thing.
But as time passed, with the hall remaining sealed, more and more people outside realized that something might indeed have happened inside!
