CHAPTER 597: CHAPTER 597: BIG SNAKE PEARL

Yagyu Family Mansion.

Within the inner core area, a group of family elders watched as Xiao Zhan slaughtered all around on the screen, demonstrating his godly prowess, while continuous alarm reminders rang in their ears, leaving them frantically concerned.

"What’s going on, why can’t we get any communication out?"

"Fifth Elder, the communications throughout the family’s entire region have been blocked!"

"Haven’t you found a way to break through yet!"

"We’re working on it, but the enemy is too cunning. To completely break through, we need at least five more minutes!"

Five minutes.

The Fifth Elder looked at the invincible Xiao Zhan on the screen and couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile of despair.

In five minutes, the cooked dishes will have gone cold.

Is it because I am the Fifth Elder that I get five minutes?

If I had known it would be like this, I would have been the Ten Elders instead.

"We can’t just sit here and wait for death!"

The Fifth Elder pumped himself up; now that the Family Head was not present, the entire Yagyu Family relied on him. If even he lost his fighting spirit, then the Yagyu Family would be utterly doomed.

"We can’t wait any longer, pass my order, bring out the Big Snake Pearl!"

Upon hearing the three words ’Big Snake Pearl’, the faces of the other elders changed drastically in fright!

"Fifth Elder, wouldn’t it be too risky to use the Big Snake Pearl?"

"Yes, Fifth Elder, without the Family Head, it’s difficult to control the Big Snake Pearl. What if we suffer a backlash?"

"Fifth Elder, it hasn’t come to that point yet. Let me take the Death Soldiers to buy us time. The Family Head must already be on his way here!"

"Enough!" the Fifth Elder cut them off.

He turned around, looking at everyone with an unwavering expression, "Xiaoye Shiyilang is a Seventh Grade Sovereign; he could have directly broken into the inner mansion. Why is he slaughtering his way in from the main entrance step by step? Isn’t it because he wants to massacre our Yagyu clan?"

"The Family Head is surely rushing back, but from the Bian Island Tea House, it is at least a half-hour’s journey from here. By the time the Family Head returns, Xiaoye Shiyilang would have blood-washed us several times over!"

"The only method now is to use the Big Snake Pearl! The Big Snake Pearl might backfire, but at least we still have a slim chance of survival!"

After these words, not a single person spoke up to object.

The power of a Seventh Grade Sovereign is not something that can be countered by any number of people. Didn’t you see Xiao Zhan killing one Karami after another with each slash?

And those Karami are not ordinary ones; they are their elites. Taken out individually, each one is a formidable fighter.

Everyone agreed with the Fifth Elder’s idea.

Someone immediately went to the treasury to fetch the Big Snake Pearl.

Soon, a delicate box was presented before the Fifth Elder. He glanced at everyone, then firmly opened the box.

Inside the box was a milky white pearl the size of a marble. In the four corners of the box, there were four iron chains made up of energy.

The other end of the iron chains was tied to the milky white pearl, making it look like a seal had bound it.

But the milky white pearl looked ordinary, with no energy fluctuations, seemingly no different from a common glass marble.

The Fifth Elder placed the box on the table, then formed seals with both hands, whispering obscure and difficult spells.

Then, a white energy fluctuation appeared on his hands.

The white energy shot out like a beam, striking the box, which immediately became enveloped in light, and at the same time, the four iron chains, as if disturbed by some fluctuation, started to shake.

In just one second, the four iron chains snapped with a crisp sound, breaking apart.

As the iron chains snapped, that unremarkable pearl, as if a seal had been lifted, suddenly covered itself with a layer of milky white halo.

Following that, the milky white pearl floated in front of everyone.

Upon seeing this, the Fifth Elder immediately bit through the tip of his index finger, a drop of fresh blood emerged. He flicked his finger and the drop of blood landed on the pearl.

The pearl eerily absorbed the blood upon contact, as if the blood had never appeared.

"Everybody out."

The Fifth Elder issued the command.

Everyone looked at the Fifth Elder gravely and then left the room one after another, closing the door behind them to prevent any disturbances.

After they went out.

A group of people turned towards Xiao Zhan’s direction, their expressions resolute, "Follow me to kill him!"

Inside the room.

Once the Big Snake Pearl merged with the Fifth Elder’s blood, it suddenly whooshed, broke through the roof, and flew straight into the sky.

However, after flying into the sky, it did not take any actions, but simply floated in mid-air, suspended above the entire Yagyu Family Mansion, quietly, without a single movement.

As if frozen in place.

But upon closer inspection, one would see that the Big Snake Pearl was not stationary, but slowly rotating.

And during the process of spinning, it absorbed strands of blood energy, nearly imperceptible to the naked eye, into the pearl.

Following the source of these blood energies, one would find they all came from the corpses on the ground.

Xiao Zhan noticed the existence of this pearl immediately and released his Perception to sense what kind of bead this was, but the pearl was unremarkable and exhibited only slight energy fluctuations, with no other special attributes.

But he knew that it definitely wasn’t anything good.

He acted at once, slashing a Scythe Energy towards the pearl, but with a slight dodge, the pearl evaded the attack.

Xiao Zhan’s brows furrowed slightly, he launched several more Scythe Energies, but the result was still the same.

The pearl was too small a target and very agile; Xiao Zhan found it difficult to shatter it.

Most crucially, Xiao Zhan was on the ground, while the pearl was in the sky; Xiao Zhan could not fly, and this was a significant limitation—he had no way with the pearl.

Watching the still-swarming enemies, Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and decided not to bother with the pearl for now.

His main goal was to annihilate the Yagyu Family.

As long as he killed quickly, even if the pearl caused some sort of trouble later, Xiao Zhan’s goal would still be achieved.

For safety, Xiao Zhan picked up his pace of slaughter, releasing Death Aura, moving like a phantom within it. Each time he passed a person, a life would be taken.

In just a few seconds, dozens of people fell.

Having dealt with the large group of enemies in front of him, Xiao Zhan turned his attention ahead where the Yagyu Family’s inner mansion lay. Within were all the core and key figures of the Yagyu Family. Killing them would truly eradicate the roots!

Without further ado, he charged in, ensnaring them all.

In an instant, screams of agony filled the air.

Xiao Zhan killed with relish, not noticing that the blood energies from the dead bodies on the ground were continuously being absorbed into the Big Snake Pearl. The pearl, originally as milky and pure as jade without any impurities, had now been tinged with a hint of rose.
